Chapter 577: Brothers Reunite, the Demon General Emerges
"Hiss…"
The crowd drew a sharp breath as they observed the unstable aura of the Elder Eagle Nest.
The Elder Eagle Nest had been renowned for many years, known widely as a seasoned Reincarnation Stage expert. Compared to him, Jinwu was merely a fledgling at the Perfect Death Profound Realm.
To ordinary observers, the difference between them was like an insurmountable chasm.
Yet, no one could have imagined that during their recent confrontation, Jinwu had severely injured Elder Eagle Nest.
"Hmph."
Elder Eagle Nest coldly glanced at his severely wounded claws, then at the blood-covered fist imprint on his chest. His eyes flashed with savage malice. He clenched his palm, gathering vast amounts of Yuan Power into a gigantic eagle blade that spanned thousands of feet. With a flick of his sleeve, the eagle blade tore through space, hurtling violently toward the wounded Jinwu.
Watching the blade speed toward him, Jinwu tightened his fists. Anger and helplessness filled his eyes.
In the end, he had lost this battle.
At this critical moment, an image of a slender figure dressed in green flashed through his mind.
"If Big Brother were here, he wouldn't let Elder Eagle Nest act so arrogantly," Jinwu thought bitterly.
"My Lord!"
The experts from Golden Crow Territory shouted desperately as they watched their leader, vulnerable and seemingly about to be crushed beneath the eagle blade. Their voices were filled with despair and sorrow.
"Swish!"
However, as their cries echoed through the heavens, an extremely sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced through the air.
Everyone lifted their heads in surprise. In the distant sky, space twisted abruptly as a shadow shot forth at incredible speed.
"Boom!"
The gigantic eagle blade slammed down fiercely at that moment, instantly fracturing the earth. Massive cracks spread out like a spider's web across the terrain.
Countless horrified gazes turned to where the dust clouds billowed upward. Many Golden Crow Territory warriors fell to their knees, their eyes vacant, believing their leader had been killed.
"My Lord…"
Yet, as their spirits sank to their lowest, the dust slowly settled. In the midst of the shattered earth was an intact spot where Jinwu stood—completely unharmed!
"That's…"
A shocked voice cried out suddenly, prompting everyone to lift their heads. To their astonishment, standing just in front of Jinwu was a slender figure clothed in green. He appeared neither muscular nor imposing, yet he had effortlessly deflected the destructive attack.
"Big… Big Brother?!"
The first to react was Jinwu himself. At first, he stared blankly at this incredibly familiar figure. In the next instant, he stood up sharply, his handsome face filled with disbelief and overwhelming joy.
"Hehe, Jinwu. What's wrong? Don't recognize me anymore?"
Seeing Jinwu's stunned expression, Lin Langtian's face softened into a gentle smile as he spoke. After several years, he had finally reunited with his brother.
"How could I ever forget you, Big Brother? Even in death, I'd recognize you!" Jinwu's voice trembled with excitement and heartfelt joy, leaving everyone watching even more astonished.
Lin Langtian looked carefully at the young man who had changed so much. Two years had indeed altered Jinwu significantly, but in his brother's emotional reaction, he could still clearly recognize the familiar bonds they once shared.
"Jinwu, it seems you've grown more mature," Lin Langtian remarked warmly, gently patting Jinwu's shoulder. He exhaled deeply, feeling immense relief. "At long last, we brothers are reunited."
The surrounding warriors were filled with curiosity. They had never heard that their territory's leader had an elder brother. Their impressions only included Jinwu's younger sister. Who exactly was this mysterious man?
Although puzzled, the warriors found hope rekindled in their hearts upon seeing Lin Langtian's unexpected arrival. Perhaps this mysterious big brother was their savior.
On the opposite side, Elder Eagle Nest narrowed his eyes as he observed Lin Langtian, a sense of caution rising briefly within him due to the spatial distortion Lin Langtian caused when appearing—something even he, a Reincarnation Stage expert, couldn't easily accomplish.
But noticing that Lin Langtian's aura was merely at the Perfect Death Profound Realm, Elder Eagle Nest's initial caution faded, replaced by a disdainful smirk. After all, he had already defeated Jinwu, who possessed the extraordinary Nine Fiends Black Golden Crow bloodline. What threat could this similarly ranked mysterious young man pose?
"Brother, are you alright?"
Just then, a delicate figure dressed in ice-colored clothes appeared behind Lin Langtian. This figure was none other than Shuang Wu. Seeing Jinwu, she rushed forward, her eyes filled with concern.
Jinwu was momentarily stunned to see his sister safe. Quickly understanding, he turned toward Lin Langtian with astonishment, "Big Brother, Shuang Wu…?"
"Brother, it was thanks to Big Brother Langtian that I survived the ambush of Eagle Nest Mountain," Shuang Wu explained softly, gratitude shining clearly in her eyes.
"Thank you, Big Brother." Jinwu breathed a sigh of relief, sincerely thanking Lin Langtian. Shuang Wu was his only family left, and her safety was paramount to him.
"No need for thanks. We're brothers, and Shuang Wu is naturally my sister too," Lin Langtian replied with a reassuring smile.
"Right! From now on, Shuang Wu, call him Big Brother," Jinwu immediately told his sister firmly.
Shuang Wu hesitated briefly, then quickly understood. Her usually icy demeanor softened, and a faint blush appeared on her face as she softly addressed Lin Langtian, "Big Brother."
Lin Langtian gently smiled, "No need to be so formal, Shuang Wu. From today, we're family."
Jinwu smiled joyfully at this familial acknowledgment but soon turned serious again, looking at his wounded warriors. "Everyone, remain vigilant. The threat still looms."
Hearing this, the Golden Crow Territory warriors struggled to their feet, their expressions grave. After all, the powerful Eagle Nest Mountain still surrounded them, and even their leader had suffered defeat.
"Leave everything to me now, Jinwu. You just focus on healing your wounds," Lin Langtian said calmly, sensing Jinwu's severe injuries. A chilling intent flashed in his eyes as he turned toward Elder Eagle Nest. Anyone who knew Lin Langtian could tell he was now determined to kill.
"Big Brother, please be careful. Elder Eagle Nest is a powerful Reincarnation Stage expert," Jinwu warned anxiously. Although he had faith in Lin Langtian, Elder Eagle Nest's formidable reputation made him worry.
"Don't worry. Anyone who dares hurt my brother must pay the price," Lin Langtian assured him, his voice ice-cold.
Elder Eagle Nest noticed Lin Langtian's murderous intent but felt unthreatened. He narrowed his eyes, asking coldly, "Where are Ying Cang and Ying Yuan? Did you kill them?"
These were his two subordinates assigned to kill Shuang Wu. Seeing her safe, Elder Eagle Nest immediately understood their fate.
"You mean those two old dogs? They're already on their way to the underworld. If you miss them, feel free to join," Lin Langtian replied coldly, his gaze disdainful.
"Insolent brat! You're seeking death!" Elder Eagle Nest's face twisted in anger. He released immense Yuan Power imbued with life-and-death energy, manifesting as a powerful eagle spear that surged toward Lin Langtian.
"Reincarnation Stage expert? Let me show you true despair!"
As Lin Langtian's voice fell, the sinister third eye on his forehead slowly opened, unleashing a terrifying demonic beam into the sky. Immediately, the heavens darkened, and a massive black crack resembling a monster's jaws appeared, spreading eerie, evil energy.
Witnessing this unnatural phenomenon, all nearby experts were stunned. They felt an unprecedented repulsion from the world itself, as if the natural Yuan Power rejected this malevolent presence.
"What on earth is that…?" many murmured in horror.
"This trickery won't save you!" Elder Eagle Nest roared angrily, hurling his eagle spear at the black crack to prevent whatever lurked within from emerging.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a colossal black hand shot forth from the crack, instantly shattering the eagle spear. Elder Eagle Nest staggered back, blood trickling from his lips as he gasped in shock.
"Foolish old bird! How dare you act arrogantly before my master!" A sinister voice echoed from the crack. The evil energy condensed into a terrifying figure with powerful, golden-patterned wings, spreading an overwhelming aura of menace.
Fear seized everyone present as they beheld this horrifying creature. Faces turned pale, trembling uncontrollably under the oppressive, demonic force.
Just who or what had this mysterious young man summoned…?
