Why Not Let You Have It
Thanks to Black Dragon's protection, the demons finally had a chance to catch their breaths.
The stronger ones started treating the injured, while quite a few people hugged the lifeless corpses of dead demons and sobbed uncontrollably.
War was cruel, and demons' hearts were made of flesh.
Those who'd lost their friends wailed heartbreakingly. As for those who'd survived, they rejoiced inwardly, but at the same time, they worried about whether they'd suffer the same fate.
In any case, the valley was filled with mourning.
"Brother Su, didn't I tell you to stay in Maple City to rest? Why did you come here?"
Black Dragon frowned at Su Yiyun, his voice filled with concern.
Although he held a grudge against Su Yiyun, considering how much Su Yiyun had sacrificed to the demons, he wasn't willing to shed all pretense of cordiality with him.
Besides, perhaps things weren't as he'd imagined.
He'd told Su Yiyun to stay in Maple City partly because he was afraid he'd become involved with Ye Zichen, but also partly because he really wanted him to rest.
Divinity Decay.
Su Yiyun didn't have much time left. Black Dragon didn't want him to die in the chaos of the battlefield. He didn't even want his corpse to be taken care of.
"Hmph, you're still talking? If I hadn't come, the demons would all be finished. "
Su Yiyun knit his brows and snorted.
"Just a few days ago, I read the heavens and sensed a calamity was about to befall us demons. After you left, I couldn't help but peer into the Heavenly Dao and divined that this would be the case. I told Min 'e to hurry and bring me here. I wish you luck in escaping. "
"This …. I've made you worry, Brother Su."
Black Dragon sighed softly, then his gaze fell on the demons in the valley.
He felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and the cause of this pain was that damned Ye Zichen. If he hadn't released that metal ball called a bomb, the demons wouldn't have ….
"I never would have guessed Ye Zichen was capable of something like this. He used explosives from the Modern Realm's war here."
Coincidentally, Su Yiyun frowned as well. When he mentioned this, Black Dragon's expression darkened. All of a sudden, he remembered that Su Yiyun had descended from the sky.
"Brother Su, did you come from above?"
"Yes." Su Yiyun nodded. When he saw Black Dragon's astonishment, he knew what he was thinking, so he said, "In truth, Ye Zichen and the others tricked you. The Fire Phoenix True Fire blocking the canyon was nothing more than a few drops of blood essence. If you want to forcefully break it, you can break it in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. "
Bang.
His fist slammed into the cliff face of the canyon. Black Dragon's body trembled uncontrollably, the muscles on his face twitching slightly as well.
"Ye Zichen."
Along with a roar, Black Dragon's Spiritual Energy spread out in the surroundings.
Bang.
However, before he could leave the ground, Su Yiyun shouted at him to stop.
"Stop right there."
"Brother Su, you want to stop me?"
This was truly a humiliation for the Black Dragon.
It was just a few drops of True Life Blood, yet it was enough to scare away the Lord of the Devil Race and cause him to fall into a trap.
How could Black Dragon tolerate such a trick?
"Do you want to vent your anger on Ye Zichen? He left a long time ago."
As soon as Su Yiyun finished speaking, Black Dragon noticed that there were no longer any Beast Region soldiers lying in ambush on either side of the canyon.
Creak.
Black Dragon clenched his fists so hard they creaked. The aura around him grew sinister.
This was especially true of his sinister eyes. When he met them, he felt as if he'd fallen into a bottomless abyss.
He bore a grudge.
He bore a complete and utter grudge.
"There's no need to take it to heart," said Su Yiyun. "You were just slightly behind this time. In a battle of wills and schemes, we demons can't always have the upper hand. Just remember this loss. The process isn't important. What we want is the result. "
When Su Yiyun saw Black Dragon's hatred clouding his mind, he spoke up to enlighten him.
"I know that." Black Dragon nodded slightly, but his gaze was still incomparably sinister. "Ye Zichen's life is mine."
Su Yiyun didn't say anything in response.
By now, his gaze had already fallen on the injured demon. He gestured for Li Min 'e to help treat his wounds.
"Brother Su, you're here. I missed you so much when I didn't see you earlier."
At that moment, Gu Li, who'd disappeared without a trace when the bombs were thrown, appeared out of nowhere.
He walked up to Su Yiyun with a faint smile on his face.
"And here I thought we'd meet for the last time. I never would have guessed we'd run into each other here."
"Are you that eager for me to die?"
Su Yiyun arched his brows. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Brother Su, what are you saying?" laughed Gu Li.
Ignoring Gu Li, Su Yiyun closed his eyes and rested once more. By now, he could already sense his life force slipping away. In order to live longer ….
Or rather, in order to live until the day he wanted to live, he had to constantly refine his soul and prevent it from collapsing.
Gu Li smiled at Su Yiyun, who had his eyes closed. Then, he felt a cold aura beside him.
"Brother Gu Li, you sure run fast."
Sensing Black Dragon's suppressed fury, Gu Li hurriedly put on a helpless expression.
"Your Excellency Black Dragon, please don't be angry. I never would have guessed that brat Ye Zichen could get his hands on a bomb. I'm weak, so I had no choice but to protect myself. "
"Hmph."
Black Dragon snorted darkly. If it weren't for the fact that he feared Gu Li's backer, he really would've killed him right there and then.
Ye Zichen was surely aware of the bomb's power, yet he hadn't warned him in the slightest, resulting in disastrous losses for the demons.
Ye Zichen was detestable, but Gu Li wasn't any better.
"I know you're furious, Your Excellency Black Dragon, but fortunately, Brother Su arrived just in time. The demons didn't suffer particularly heavy losses. Our cooperation can't end just like that. How about we drop it now? Gu Li hereby swears that in the future, I will not abandon you and your demon race. "
"Hmph."
No matter how unwilling Black Dragon was, he had no choice but to drop the matter.
Besides, it was just as Gu Li had said: the demons' losses weren't unbearable. Only a few human immortal-level soldiers had died. The true elites were still capable of fighting.
Gu Li snorted bitterly and left. At that moment, however, Gu Li stealthily approached Su Yiyun.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Su Yiyun, who'd been keeping his eyes closed the entire time, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"Brother Su, you've come after all. It seems you've made all the necessary preparations."
Gu Li intentionally lowered his voice and chuckled. Meanwhile, Su Yiyun's gaze landed on Gu Li. His pitch-black eyes, which were disproportionate to his appearance, stared straight at Gu Li, as if trying to see right through him.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Is that so? I'm afraid that poor Black Dragon will suffer greatly at your hands, Brother Su."
A playful smile surfaced on Gu Li's face. Su Yiyun smiled back, his gaze darkening.
