I'm in Battle Through the Heavens, and I have a control panel.

Chapter 26: Demon-inducing Powder

"In that case, you can decide what to do."

As the five cold words fell, Xiao Zheng abruptly stopped, and a layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back.

He never expected that even after he had been so patient and yielding, the other party still wouldn't let them go!

The people of the Yunlan Sect are truly domineering to the extreme!

Little Fairy Doctor also reacted instantly, her face turning pale as she grabbed Xiao Zheng's sleeve.

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and anger in his heart, and quickly scanned his surroundings.

The snowfield was open, with dense forests on both sides. With the strength of a Seven-Star Great Dou Master like Ge Ye, even if they rushed into the forest, they would have no chance of escape.

Am I really going to fail here today?

Just at this critical moment, a deafening lion's roar suddenly rang out from the depths of the nearby mountains and forests!

"Awooo—!"

The lion's roar was powerful and domineering, carrying a chilling pressure that caused the surrounding snow to fall in a flurry.

Ge Ye raised an eyebrow: "That voice... it's the Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up: "So this is the magical beast Master asked us to find?"

Ge Ye nodded. "It is the magical beast that the sect leader asked us to find. I will deal with these two brats now, and then I will go with you to find the magical beast and report back."

As he spoke, his gaze towards Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor was now filled with murderous intent.

Amethyst Winged Lion King?

Upon hearing this name, Xiao Zheng was overjoyed!

If I remember correctly, this magical beast was a sixth-tier magical beast at the time, and its strength was even greater than that of a human Battle Emperor.

And in his storage ring, there was a demon-attracting powder that he had personally refined.

Little Fairy Doctor once said that if this medicine were made by an alchemist, it could even attract sixth-order magical beasts.

Although it's not certain whether it will work, we're at a critical juncture, so rather than waiting to die, we might as well take a gamble!

If the demon-attracting powder can be sprinkled on Kuzuha, and if it can attract the Lion King, the Lion King will chase and kill Kuzuha.

In this way, Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor will have a chance to escape!

Even if they lose the bet and the Demon-Attracting Powder fails to attract the Amethyst Winged Lion King, or if it attracts it too late and they are unable to escape, it can still attract other magical beasts.

That way, those two bastards will suffer!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zheng's hand had already quietly reached into his storage ring and touched the jade bottle containing the Demon-Attracting Powder.

He whirled around, glaring at Ge Ye: "You, surnamed Ge!"

"We siblings willingly gave up the Snow Lotus, yet you still insist on killing us all?"

"This is absolutely outrageous! If you really push me too far, I'll fight you to the death!"

He deliberately spoke in a stern tone, partly to buy time and partly to make his subsequent action of throwing out the Demon-Attracting Powder seem more natural.

Upon hearing this, Ge Ye immediately laughed disdainfully: "To die together? Kid, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!"

"I've lived this long, what kind of genius haven't I seen?"

"At your age, even if your cultivation level is high, it's still limited; at most, you're only at the Dou Zhe realm!"

"A mere Dou Zhe dares to try and take me down with a Seven-Star Great Dou Master? What a ridiculous joke!"

Nalan Yanran stood aside, looking at Xiao Zheng's feigned fierceness, her face showing a speechless expression.

In her view, Xiao Zheng's words were nothing but self-humiliation.

"Prepare to die!"

Ge Ye's laughter vanished, replaced by a surge of killing intent in his eyes. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, sending snow flying, and lunged towards Xiao Zheng like an arrow released from a bow.

The aura of a Seven-Star Grandmaster was released without reservation, and the surrounding air seemed to be compressed and stagnant, with a fierce wind that stung people's cheeks.

Little Fairy Doctor turned pale with fright and gripped Xiao Zheng's arm tightly with both hands.

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Zheng's eyes. He raised his hand and flung the Demon-Attracting Jade Bottle, which he had prepared beforehand, towards Ge Ye with a palm strike: "Eat my family's treasure!!"

Ge Ye already suspected that Xiao Zheng might have some background because of his calm reaction earlier, so when he heard the words "family treasure", he immediately dared not be negligent.

He knew that in order to protect their own geniuses, various forces would often provide them with supreme protection. If they were not careful, even if they were a Great Battle Master, they would still be defeated.

Ge Ye immediately stopped his attack, his right palm filled with powerful battle qi, and slammed it towards the flying jade bottle!

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, the small jade bottle was struck by the palm wind and shattered instantly.

The white powder instantly spread out like smoke, landing squarely on Ge Ye, covering even his hair and beard.

Ge Ye smelled a peculiar odor from the white powder, and his expression changed drastically: "This is... Demon-Attracting Powder?!"

"It's still a demon-summoning powder made by an alchemist!"

He instantly guessed Xiao Zheng's intention: this kid wanted to lure the Amethyst Winged Lion King over!

Ge Ye was both shocked and furious: "You brat, you are incredibly treacherous and vicious! I will kill you today!"

Just as he was about to continue his attack.

"Awooo—!"

The roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King rang out again, and this time, the sound was several times closer than before, clearly indicating that it was rushing towards them at high speed!

At the same time, a terrifying aura, even more powerful than that of a Dou Huang, pressed down on the snow-covered land like dark clouds.

The air suddenly became stagnant, making even breathing difficult.

Ge Ye's expression changed completely. He no longer cared about killing Xiao Zheng. He only had one thought in his mind—he had to lure the Amethyst Winged Lion King away as soon as possible!

Nalan Yanran, who was standing behind him, was the sect leader's personal disciple and the future of the Yunlan Sect. She absolutely could not be allowed to get into trouble here!

"I'll remember you!"

Ge Ye glared fiercely at Xiao Zheng, then hurriedly said to Nalan Yanran, "Miss! The Demon-Attracting Powder has a deadly allure for magical beasts, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King will be here soon!"

"I'll go ahead and lure it away. You quickly retrieve the snow lotus and return directly to the Yunlan Sect. Do not linger here!"

Having said that, Ge Ye dared not delay any longer. He turned around, rushed to the side of the flying magical beast, and jumped onto it.

"rise!"

With a shout, the flying magical beast flapped its wings and soared into the sky, speeding off in the opposite direction from the roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

But just as the flying monster took off, a huge figure sped down from the sky.

It was a giant beast that was seven or eight meters long, with a spiral horn on its head and purple wings on its back!

It is indeed the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

It sniffed the air, its gaze instantly locking onto the fleeing Ge Ye. A hint of excitement flashed in its eyes, and with a flap of its wings, it chased after Ge Ye.

As the Amethyst Winged Lion King chased after it, it spoke in human language: "Catnip! My catnip!"

When Ge Ye turned around and saw this scene, he was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits. He desperately urged the flying magical beast to speed up, wishing that the magical beast would grow two more wings.

Watching the man and beast disappear into the horizon, Xiao Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

That was truly a close call.

With Ge Ye gone, only Nalan Yanran remains. Although her current cultivation level is unknown, she should be easier to deal with than Ge Ye.

Nalan Yanran glanced at Ge Ye, who was being chased by the Lion King in a sorry state, and then at Xiao Zheng, who had a calm expression. Her face immediately darkened, as if water could drip from it.

She never expected that Xiao Zheng would possess such a sinister substance as the Demon-Attracting Powder, which not only put Ge Ye in danger but also ruined her mission.

"How dare you! You actually plot against the Yunlan Sect!"

Nalan Yanran glared at Xiao Zheng, "Today I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Xiao Zheng sneered upon hearing this: "You people from the Yunlan Sect really have no sense of reason whatsoever!"

"We discovered and harvested the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus first. Not only did you take advantage of your strength to forcibly seize it, but you also tried to wipe us out. Now it's our fault?"

"Nalan Yanran!"

"I originally didn't want to get involved in your messy affairs with Xiao Yan, but now that we've become enemies, I'll have to go to Yunlan Sect to join in the fun from now on."

Upon hearing the name "Xiao Yan," Nalan Yanran's expression immediately changed: "You know Xiao Yan?!"

Xiao Zheng sneered: "What's it to you whether I know him or not?"

Nalan Yanran's eyes turned cold: "Since you refuse to talk, then I'll arrest you first and take you back to Yunlan Sect for interrogation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she released her battle qi without reservation, revealing herself to be a one-star Dou Shi!
