Chapter 215 If you want to kill me, come in person
She put Ziyou into her storage ring and took out the amulet given by Fan Wujiu and held it in her hand. The amulet paper emitted a faint golden light, guiding the direction like a firefly in the darkness.
At the end of the secret passage was an iron door with a demonic pattern carved on it. As soon as Xiaobai opened the door, a dazzling bloody light rushed towards him. Outside the door was the most chaotic slum area in the Demon City, and on the high wall in the distance, dozens of demon warriors were staring at him covetously.
"Where are you going, Saint?" A shrill voice came from above. Xiaobai looked up and saw a demon woman with bat wings on her back hanging upside down under the eaves, licking a dagger with her scarlet tongue. "The high priest invites you, please do me the honor."
Xiao Bai didn't bother to talk nonsense, he raised his hand and chopped the bat demon in half with a sword. The moment the body fell to the ground, the demons on the high wall roared in unison and rushed over like a tide.
"Challenge the Saint?" Xiaobai sneered, unsheathing the Qingli Sword, with a pale golden divine power wrapped around the sword. "Then let's see if you have the ability to do it!"
When the first wave of demons rushed to the front, Xiaobai just swung his sword lightly. A half-moon-shaped sword energy swept out, and the demons in the front row fell down like straw. The demons behind did not have time to stop, and they exploded and died after hitting the sword energy.
"Is that all you can do?" Xiao Bai taunted, sensing more demons approaching. Not wanting to fight any longer, she leaped onto the roof and prepared to leave, only to find that a restriction had been set up in the air, and an invisible barrier bounced her back to the ground.
"Want to leave?" A 30-foot-tall troll came over carrying a mace. "The high priest said that whoever captures the goddess alive will be rewarded with the title of Demon General."
Xiao Bai sighed: "Looks like we have to get serious now." She formed seals with both hands, and the Qingli Sword floated in front of her, with the golden lines on the sword lighting up one by one. When the troll's mace smashed down, the sword light bloomed like a lotus.
"Nine Turns of the Azure Lotus, First Move."
The sword flashed, and the troll's movements suddenly froze. The next second, its huge body split into neat pieces of meat and fell to the ground with a bang. The surrounding demons retreated in fear, only to see Xiaobai had already leaped into the air, his sword pointing to the sky.
"Come and give it a try, Tian Qing."
Countless sword energies poured down like a rainstorm, accurately piercing the brows of every demon. In just three breaths, hundreds of elite demons were killed, and they didn't even have time to let out a scream.
The remaining demons were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Saint, spare us, we were forced to do this."
Xiao Bai sheathed his sword and said coldly, "Tell the high priest that if you want to kill me, come in person."
After saying that, she slashed the restriction in the air with a sword and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
On the way back, Xiaobai kept thinking about Cangming's words.
The life experience of the third senior brother, Fan Wuyou's name, the threat of the demon god Chi...all of these are like an invisible net, and she is getting deeper and deeper.
Just as she was about to reach the inn, a black shadow suddenly attacked from the side. Xiaobai dodged to the side, but saw that seven black needles had blocked all the escape routes. At the critical moment, a golden light flashed, and all the black needles were shattered.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Fan Wujiu's voice came from the darkness. He held the judge's pen in his hand, the golden light in his eyes was as dazzling as the sun, and he was surrounded by a suffocating pressure.
Only then did Xiaobai see clearly that the attackers were shrouded in black robes and wore bone chains on their chests that symbolized their status as high priests.
"Traitor Fan Wujiu." The black-robed man hissed, "The Lord Demon has remembered you."
Fan Wujiu sneered: "Remember this." He swung his pen like a knife, and a golden light cut the black-robed man in half. However, the body turned into black smoke and dissipated after falling to the ground, leaving only the eerie laughter echoing in the night sky.
"It's a clone." Xiaobai frowned, "The high priest himself should still be in the Demon Palace."
Fan Wujiu turned to Xiaobai, the golden light in his eyes gradually dimmed: "Are you okay?"
Xiao Bai did not answer, but stared at his pale face and the blood at the corner of his mouth: "What forbidden technique did you activate?"
Fan Wujiu avoided her gaze: "It's nothing, just a trick of the system." He reached out to take Ziyou, but suddenly staggered.
Xiaobai held him up, and her touch was cold. She then noticed that Fan Wujiu's sleeves were soaked with blood, and the system prompt was repeating the warning in his mind.
[Warning: Health remaining 30%...25%...20%...]
"You lunatic!" Xiaobai gritted his teeth and carried Fan Wujiu on his back. "Hold on, we'll go back soon."
Fan Wujiu smiled weakly and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, Xiaobai, you have to live well. I was hurt by Chi's oath, otherwise they would not be my...my opponent."
Xiaobai's eyes suddenly felt hot. She thought of the scene in the Heart-Eating Mirror, of Fan Wuyou mentioned by Cangming, and of Fan Wujiu's vague protection along the way.
Perhaps the truth was far more complicated than she imagined, but now, she just wanted to bring this stubborn guy back to the inn safely.
The night was as dark as ink, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared at the end of the long street. On the highest tower of the Demon Palace, a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss were watching all this.
"The game has just begun, Your Highness the Goddess." The high priest stroked the bone chain on his chest and whispered, "The Demon God can't wait to taste your soul."
