Liang Youyu was not an expert of the Divine Domain. He had not even comprehended the Divine realm and was still a very long way from the Divine Domain. Therefore, after a few exchanges, he already knew that he was far from being Huang Shi's match. He somewhat regretted his arrogance, but at that time, it was Yan Li who had stepped forward. As the leader of the Dragon Elephant Mountain team, he was useless in this incident and could only passively wait for a junior whose cultivation was far inferior to his to create a miracle. He had long felt ashamed, so in a moment of hot-headedness, he had stepped forward.
No matter how many miracles a junior could create, it was impossible for him to deal with an expert like Huang Shi. His idea and choice were correct, but the result was wrong.
The greatest difference between him and Huang Shi was that the Ghost Race did not rely solely on the Law Domain. Given the strength of Huang Shi's physical body, any Law Domain below the Divine realm would be smashed to pieces by his bare hands.
The sound of a mirror shattering was like a death knell in Liang Youyu's ears. At their level, once their Law Domain was broken, they would be at a great disadvantage. For him, it was equivalent to death. His released essential essence shattered along with the Law Domain. A stabbing pain came from his head and his organs felt like they were on fire. As he flew back, he vomited blood in a daze and fell to the snow. A biting cold wind descended from the sky. He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes, watching Huang Shi's fist the size of a clay pot smash down. A crazy voice desperately shouted in his head:
"Move! Move! The longer I hold on, the more hope those children have of escaping … "In the final moments of his life, his life blossomed with an intense passion that was usually not present. A powerful belief suddenly poured into his soul, causing his heart to burn with passion. His heavily injured body slowly began to move.
"Stop!"
Huang Shi's fist was stopped midway. He raised his head to look at the source of the voice, his expression dark, but he still withdrew his hand.
"He is the only elder-level figure in this group of captives. If he dies, it will be very difficult for me to explain to eldest senior sister."
Xue Kuang descended from the sky with a face full of smiles. "General Huang, I promise you that you don't have to keep all the captives. I will give you a few pretty ones as slaves."
Only then did Huang Shi's expression soften. The corners of his mouth twitched as he replied with a smile, "Lord Xue must be joking. It is my duty to serve the Demon King. I dare not ask for a reward."
Of course, Xue Kuang knew that he was just being polite and didn't want to say more. He looked directly at Liang Youyu and said, "I know that you're famous for your alchemy in Longxiang Mountain. Fighting of magical powers isn't your strong suit. Losing to General Huang isn't shameful at all. Don't struggle anymore. Keep your life and wait for the Nine Greats to redeem you."
Liang Youyu grinned. "It's an honor to die a worthy death." As soon as he finished speaking, an object shot out from his glabella. It expanded in the air and turned into a gold and silver ring. As he injected his vital energy into it, the gold and silver light exploded, illuminating a radius of dozens of feet as if it was daytime. As it rotated, it spat out raging flames from the ring.
This object was called "Heaven and Earth Ring", which was just at the level of a celestial device. This raging flame was not ordinary either. It was the true fire transformed from the Heaven and Earth Ring. It had an extremely high temperature and was usually used for alchemy. Since it was much harder to accumulate than vital energy, it could only be used as a trump card at a critical moment.
The ghost and the demon didn't expect that he would still fight back in this situation. Huang Shi was very angry at the struggle of his defeated opponent before his death. He thought that ants should obediently listen to the orders of the strong. Instead of retreating, he advanced. Relying on his strong body, he was not afraid of the true fire at all. He boldly pounced forward, determined to tear Liang Youyu into pieces no matter what Xue Kuang said.
"General, you can't!" Xue Kuang's expression changed slightly. He quickly grabbed Huang Shi and swept past the edge of the raging flame.
The raging flames smashed onto the snowy ground with an earth-shattering explosion, creating a shockingly deep pit. That was not all. The true fire did not extinguish and continued to burn. The deep pit sank deeper and deeper until the ice layer was almost burnt through. Only then did it darken.
Huang Shi turned his body in mid-air and saw this scene. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If it wasn't for Xue Kuang pulling him back, he really didn't know if he could block this attack. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The more scared he was, the angrier he became. He rushed forward to tear Liang Youyu into pieces.
"General Huang, he has fainted. Let's forget about it," Xue Kuang said lightly.
Huang Shi paused. He felt a faint killing intent. He squinted his eyes slightly and put down his hand hatefully. He turned around and chased after Liang Youyu.
Xue Kuang waved his hand to summon two shadows and ordered, "Pour the Demonic Miasma on him to neutralize the effects of the Fire Leech's Tear as soon as possible. Also, search his body and collect all of his belongings. After that, escort him to the top of the mountain."
…
The curved knife was stopped by the Rain Bell's power of prohibition. Even if Ying had unparalleled assassination skills, he couldn't do anything in the face of the Jambu Kingdom's number one sealing device. Seeing this, he put away the curved knife, turned around and disappeared into the air. Ji Zhiyuan focused and sensed a blurry shadow flying to the top of the mountain. He knew that if the assassin chased after him, it would definitely cause a devastating disaster. He quickly removed the prohibition and his body turned into peach blossoms, chasing after the assassin at an extremely fast speed.
"Oh? You can actually catch my movement. With your cultivation, even if you have a fairy weapon, it is enough to be praised. " Ying sensed the pursuit and quickened his pace. His blurry figure disappeared into the air.
Ji Zhiyuan's figure flickered in and out of the peach blossoms several times. The last time was when he solidified in mid-air. Although he quickly turned into nothingness, he didn't disappear. The Rain Bell was activated and immediately emitted a strong sense of existence. In an instant, a transparent gap was drawn in the snow ahead. The peach blossoms floated on the ground like the morning fog, penetrated by the bright light, but still inaudible.
"Oh!"
With a muffled groan, Ying's figure was forced to show up. There was a wound on his invisible back, and the dark red demon blood coagulated on the wound without dripping. It seemed that the wound was not light. However, the face under the black robe was full of sinister and cunning. "Your concern for others will be your fatal weakness."
He was only a few feet away from Ji Zhiyuan who had fallen on the snow. His figure flashed, and the distance between them disappeared completely. The curved knife was aimed at Ji Zhiyuan's neck.
At this time, Ji Zhiyuan finally understood why the assassin deliberately exposed his traces and flaws. It was to complete this fatal kill. It wasn't that she didn't have her doubts, but just as the latter had said, "Worrying about others will be your fatal weakness."
This was an assassin with a clear goal and an extremely terrifying execution ability. The existence of the fairy weapon Rain Bell and Ji Zhiyuan himself would greatly hinder him from killing other targets. Therefore, Ji Zhiyuan became his primary target. When he laid out the plan, he strengthened the suggestion that Ji Zhiyuan had to have a fairy weapon to catch his heart hint.
However, the curved knife suddenly stopped.
PS: I haven't slept since last night, so you can't say that I stopped updating. I'm really sleepy now, but I still want to struggle to see if I can write another chapter.
