Chapter 356: Snake and Eagle Battle
On the other side, after leaving Longhu Villa, Murong Ling'er did not stop for a moment. She used her lightness skills and moved as fast as a swallow. She quickly left the city and ran towards the nearest hill outside the city.
The mountain wind howled, blowing her hair, and her eyes were firm and resolute.
The Golden Eagle King was circling high in the sky, and its sharp eagle eyes spotted Murong Ling'er coming from afar. It let out a long cry of excitement, flapped its wings vigorously, and swooped down like a black lightning, straight towards Murong Ling'er.
Murong Ling'er stretched out her arm, and the Golden Eagle King landed steadily on her arm, rubbing his head affectionately against her cheek and making a happy cry.
Murong Ling'er gently stroked the golden eagle king's feathers and said softly, "Little Eagle, next, it's up to you again."
After saying that, she jumped onto the eagle. The Golden Eagle King let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and flew high into the distant sky. It gradually disappeared in the clouds, leaving only an empty sky as a witness to the direction they left.
The night fell heavily like a piece of thick black silk, and the hustle and bustle of Kyoto during the day quietly retreated like actors on a stage.
The streets and alleys were no longer as bustling as they were during the day, and the whole city was like a sleeping giant beast, tightly wrapped in silence.
Murong Ling'er stood under the night sky of Kyoto, looking up at the moon covered by thin clouds, her brows slightly furrowed.
She traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto just to find the former site of the Protectorate General's Mansion, but the streets and alleys in Kyoto were so numerous that she had no idea where to start.
Fortunately, before setting off, she had sent a message to the snake demon, asking it to investigate!
Soon, they came to a sparsely populated area in the inner city. It was overgrown with weeds, and the broken walls were dim in the moonlight, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.
As soon as Murong Ling'er landed on the ground, suddenly, a black light shot out from the darkness like a bullet and went straight for her throat.
"Be careful!" The Golden Eagle King reacted extremely quickly, and his sharp claws popped out instantly, grabbing towards the black shadow.
However, the black shadow was like a wisp of black smoke, and it easily avoided the attack of the Golden Eagle King at the moment when the arrow was about to be fired.
"Hey, where did this reckless guy come from!" The Golden Eagle King shouted at the top of his voice, his voice was particularly loud in the silent night.
The black shadow flipped in the air and landed steadily on a broken wall. It turned out to be a giant snake covered in black. Its scales gleamed with cold light under the moonlight.
The giant snake stuck out its tongue and made a hissing sound. The sound seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell and was chilling.
"Brother Eagle, are you eager to protect your master, or are you afraid that I will steal your limelight?" The snake demon's voice echoed in the night sky with a hint of teasing.
"You are such a sneaky guy, what kind of ability do you have to sneak attack like that?"
The Golden Eagle King was furious. He spread his wings and pounced towards the snake demon again. His claws flashed with cold light, like four sharp blades.
The snake demon was not to be outdone. It twisted its body like a spring, suddenly jumped up, and bit the golden eagle king's abdomen.
The Golden Eagle King nimbly dodged the fatal blow by turning sideways in the air. At the same time, it flapped its wings fiercely at the snake demon, creating a whistling sound in the wind.
For a moment, a snake and an eagle fought back and forth in the air, and it was difficult to tell who would win.
The snake demon's body was like a black lightning, shuttling through the air, and each attack was accompanied by fierce momentum. The Golden Eagle King, relying on its powerful strength and agility, constantly changed its attack methods in the air. Its claws and wings were all its weapons.
"You long worm, I'll beat you into a dried snake today!" The Golden Eagle King cursed while attacking.
"Hmph! Just you? Don't you see how clumsy you are? You still want to catch me?" The snake demon responded unwillingly, and lashed the Golden Eagle King fiercely with its body like a whip.
Murong Linger looked at the fierce fighting scene, feeling both angry and amused. If the fighting continued like this, it would be dawn soon. How could they get their work done?
She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Alright, stop it! You two, one is the king of the land, the other is the king of the sky, why are you acting like children and fighting each other?"
Hearing Murong Ling'er's shout, the Golden Eagle King and the Snake Demon stopped and landed on one side.
The Golden Eagle King shook his wings angrily, and there were still a few blades of grass stuck on his feathers.
The snake demon coiled on the broken wall, spitting out its tongue, with a gleam of unwillingness in its eyes.
"Master, who is this guy? Why did he suddenly appear and attack you?" The Golden Eagle King looked at Murong Ling'er with a face full of grievance, like a child whose toy was taken away.
The snake demon also looked at Murong Ling'er eagerly, with a hint of grievance in his voice: "Boss, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you here for more than half a year, and I thought you had forgotten me? When I saw there was this guy beside you, I felt... I couldn't help but want to teach it a lesson."
Murong Ling'er looked at the Golden Eagle King and the Snake Demon who were on the verge of a tense situation. Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes revealed unquestionable determination. She clapped her hands, and a crisp sound broke the tense atmosphere.
"Calm down for a moment! You two, one soaring in the sky, the other crisscrossing the land, are both powerful figures in your own territories, but when you come to me, you have to control your temper. You are both my beloved pets, and from now on we are family. If anyone makes a fuss again, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Golden Eagle King and the Snake Demon seemed to be under a spell and became quiet in an instant.
The two of them looked at each other reluctantly, with a look of disgust as if they were looking at something dirty. The next second they quickly looked away, as if looking any longer would reduce their dignity.
Murong Ling'er saw through their little thoughts, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, she deliberately cleared her throat, her eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and finally landed on the Golden Eagle King, her eyes seemed to say "You express your opinion first."
The Golden Eagle King felt uncomfortable being stared at. He turned his head and muttered, "Hmph, all right! Since this woman has spent so much time and effort talking to me, I will reluctantly acknowledge you, an ugly bug. Be smart next time and remember to call me Brother Eagle. I guarantee that no one in this area will dare to bully you!" The tone of his voice was as if he had become the master of this world.
Upon hearing this, the snake demon swung its tail, raising a cloud of dust. It held its head high, its face filled with disdain. "Who are you calling ugly? Your whole family is ugly! And you, you still want me to call you brother? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You have a pointed face and are as skinny as a stick. Do you think you deserve it?"
As the snake demon spoke, he twisted his body and deliberately swayed in front of the Golden Eagle King. His appearance was so irritating.
The Golden Eagle King couldn't stand this. His already round eyes widened even wider, like two bombs ready to explode at any moment. He flapped his wings and wanted to rush forward: "What did you say? You ignorant worm, believe it or not, I will catch you and throw you into the sky to feed the eagles!"
Its voice was sharp and loud, echoing in the night sky and startling several birds perched on the branches.
The snake demon, however, was not in a hurry. He slowly stuck out his tongue and rhythmically swung his tail, as if to provoke him: "Hey, you want to try? Even though you can fly high, if we really fight, who will win or lose is still uncertain! You want me to recognize you as my brother? No way."
"Besides, in terms of age, I am many generations older than you. Even if I have to be the elder brother, I should be the elder brother. You should just be the younger brother!" The snake demon's voice was filled with cold sarcasm, like a pair of small knives, piercing the Golden Eagle King's sore spot.
"Fuck you! Today I will let you see how powerful I am!" The Golden Eagle King was furious, his claws flashed with cold light, and he was about to launch an attack.
At this critical moment, Murong Ling'er suddenly took a step forward, put her hands on her hips, and shouted loudly: "Enough! Still making trouble, huh? If you make trouble again, don't even think about following me!"
The sound was like thunder coming out of the blue, shaking the Golden Eagle King and the Snake Demon so much that they trembled. The farce came to a temporary end, but the two were still angry and turned their heads away without looking at each other.
