Chapter 1867 Battle of the Ladder
Faced with the passage opened by the nine magical pets with their last bit of strength, Zhou Wen hesitated.
He was not moved by the actions of the nine magical pets. The nine magical pets fought so hard for the Great Demon King instead of him, Zhou Wen, so there was nothing to be moved about.
Zhou Wen was thinking about a question: if he went out from here, would the woman rush out with him?
There are two possibilities now. The woman has the ability to get out of here, so even if Zhou Wen doesn't go out, she will still enter the human world in the future.
Another possibility is that the woman does not have the ability to leave here, so if she follows Zhou Wen out, it will be disastrous.
Zhou Wen felt that the latter possibility was less likely. Since the nine magical pets were able to break through the passage, the woman's combat effectiveness was not inferior to the nine magical pets. Moreover, since her ship was able to come in before, it was less likely that she could not get out.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave. The passage won't hold for long." The Nine Tribulations Demon roared.
Zhou Wen glanced at the nine magical pets that were struggling and about to be sucked into the light hole, and then glanced at the light hole and the ladder outside the passage.
"In that case, let's give it a try." Zhou Wen quickly flew towards the passage that the nine magic pets had opened, and at the same time summoned the magic baby and pulled her to fly together.
"That's..." The woman's expression changed suddenly when she saw the demon baby.
The moment Zhou Wen rushed out of the passage, the light hole on the woman's body stopped working and she actually rushed out after Zhou Wen.
She saw through the identity of the demon baby and discovered that the demon baby had not regained the will of the great demon king. This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for her.
Originally, she thought that there was no hope for her daughter to become the Son of Dimension, but she suddenly found such an unexpected opportunity. Even if she gave up the chance to strangle the nine demon pets, she had to catch the demon baby.
The nine demon pets escaped the disaster, but instead of being overjoyed, they were all shocked and angry.
He wanted to chase after her and stop her, but the passage they had dug through had already closed.
"Hurry, let's break through the passage together. We can't let her catch up with the master." Xiantu Guchen said anxiously.
The nine magical pets worked together again to break through the passage connecting the bottom layer of the dimensional airspace with the outside world.
Unfortunately, this passage was random. After they broke through the passage and rushed out, they found that there was no trace of Zhou Wen and the woman nearby.
After Zhou Wen rushed out, he was already on the ladder.
The woman rushed out and slashed at Zhou Wen with the blade in her hand.
But when she reached Zhou Wen, the woman's body suddenly sank and fell on the stone steps of the ladder.
Zhou Wen was delighted when he saw this: "The power of the Heavenly Ladder also has an effect on her."
What Zhou Wen was betting on was that the power of the ladder would also be effective on women. Even if it had no effect, it didn't matter. If it really had no effect, he would just rush up to the Destiny Platform and use the power of the Destiny Platform to ascend to the end of the world and fight with the woman again to see whether the woman's equipment from the outside world was more powerful or he was stronger.
Zhou Wen took the demon baby back and walked up the stone steps.
The woman held a light blade in her hand and chased after Zhou Wen, slashing at him. The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, continued to climb the ladder.
Rubik's Cubes all over the world and in other dimensions lit up, and people were surprised to find that two humans appeared in the Rubik's Cube screen.
"That person... seems to be the Human Emperor... Who is that woman?"
"The Human Emperor is about to break through!"
"Can two people go on the Tianmingtai at once?"
"Why does it look like that woman is chasing the Human Emperor?"
"Isn't it forbidden to use abilities on the ladder? What is that light blade in the woman's hand?"
All major media outlets quickly started broadcasting, and Professor Gu and Su Yi also started their programs.
"Professor Gu, do you think that man is the Human Emperor? Why is he being hunted by a woman? Who is that woman?" Su Yi said as she looked at the screen.
"Based on the current situation, the person on the ladder should be the Human Emperor. There's currently no reliable information on who the woman is. However, judging by her appearance, she must have a deep hatred for the Human Emperor, otherwise she wouldn't be chasing him up the ladder." Professor Gu paused and continued, "Looking at the speed the woman is climbing the ladder, she's surprisingly not slower than the Human Emperor. I never expected there to be so many hidden masters among us humans. Judging by their strength, these two should have no problem ascending the Destiny Platform. The only question is, if they both ascend the ladder, how will they be ranked in this challenge?"
"I really want to know what kind of love, hatred and vengeance there is between this woman and the Human Emperor. They even fought to the point of climbing the ladder to heaven." Su Yi said with a smile.
"Among us humans, the only ones capable of doing this are probably the Human Emperor and this woman." Professor Gu also laughed.
The audience's gossip souls were also burning, and they all wanted to know what was going on.
Due to the limitations of the ladder, the woman could only go up step by step, but her uniform was indeed magical, and her speed on the ladder was faster than Zhou Wen.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen could directly ignore the rules of the ladder, but he deliberately slowed down and did not rush directly to the destiny platform. He just pretended to be at a similar speed to the woman and lured her to continue going up.
The two of them chased each other, both walking very fast, getting closer and closer to Tianmingtai.
When there were less than fifty steps left to Tianmingtai, the woman's speed slowed down significantly.
Zhou Wen also pretended to be affected and continued to lure the woman forward.
After all, the woman was just an ordinary person relying on that combat suit. She was very strong, but her understanding of the nature of strength was too poor. She couldn't tell that Zhou Wen was deliberately suppressing his speed.
She only wanted to catch the demon baby, and rushed around recklessly in her combat uniform, not taking the ladder seriously at all.
Zhou Wen saw that there were less than ten steps left on the ladder, and knew that it was almost time, so he stopped and did not continue to climb.
He couldn't really go up to the stage. If he let that woman rush up to the stage, who knows what would happen.
There could be a good result or a bad result, but Zhou Wen doesn't want to gamble.
"Who are you?" Zhou Wen asked the woman while standing on the stone steps.
Seeing Zhou Wen stop, the woman didn't rush over immediately. She pointed the light blade at him and said, "You don't deserve to know who I am. Hand over the Great Demon King and I will spare your life."
"It's not impossible to hand her over to you, but you have to at least give me a reason." Although Zhou Wen had already made a rough guess about the matter, speculation was always just speculation. He wanted to know the truth from the person involved.
"You have no choice but to die or hand her over to me." The woman walked towards Zhou Wen step by step. It seemed that she had no mood to chat with Zhou Wen at all.
"It's still uncertain who will live and who will die." Zhou Wen knew that he couldn't get any more information out of him, so he pulled out the Human Emperor Stone Knife, and the six wings behind him spread out, and terrifying energy gathered towards him.
