With one hand, Demon Lord Chen Yan pinched Qi Yu's chin, his gaze fixed on the wound that had been completely healed, leaving only a faint mark and nearly dried blood. With the thumb of his other hand, he gently caressed the skin.
The rough sensation on her cheeks made Qi Yu feel physically nauseous.
She suppressed the urge to vomit, looked up at the Demon Lord Chen Yan's purple eyes, and said, "I wonder why the Demon Lord is so interested in me?"
"In terms of cultivation, I am inferior to the man who used lightning just now, and in terms of appearance, I am even less superior to Wu Shuyi, whom you chose first."
The Demon Lord Chenyan chuckled and gently put the finger that had rubbed against the dried bloodstain into his mouth.
He closed his eyes slightly and sighed with rapture.
"Top-notch..."
He squinted, looking down at Qi Yu as if he were looking at meat on a chopping board, and murmured, "The purest flesh and blood in legend must be like this."
Qi Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
Without further hesitation, she slapped the Phoenix Spirit Fire she had been holding behind her back onto the Demon Lord Chenyan.
The raging flames instantly spread along the chest of the Demon Lord Chenyan.
The fire quickly engulfed half of the Demon Lord Chenyan's body.
The Demon Lord Shenyan looked at the unusually fierce flame with some surprise. It transformed into a ball of deep purple demonic energy and flew away from Qi Yu.
Having lost its target, the Phoenix Spirit Fire returned to Qi Yu's body.
Holding a sword in one hand and the Phoenix Spirit Fire in the other, she warily watched the lurking demonic energy.
The demonic energy rapidly reconstructed the body of the Demon Lord Chenyan, weaving his upper body into shape.
Without the suppression of the Demon Lord Chen Yan, the other four mid-level demons slowly stood up, their pupils gleaming, like wild wolves poised to pounce upon their prey.
Qi Yu gritted his teeth and urged the Phoenix Spirit Fire to fly towards the strongest-looking mid-level demon.
She clearly couldn't handle so many demons by herself, so she could only try to stall for time, hoping that Venerable Canglang would see her message and arrive soon.
Otherwise, she would have been devoured by the demon!
The monster licked its lips and rushed over impatiently!
Qi Yu controlled the Phoenix Spirit Fire to engulf the demon's legs and burn its arms as well.
The monster, though missing its hands and feet, still writhed obsessively toward her, its demonic energy filling the gaps in its body. Before long, the monster was restored to its original state.
With drool dripping from the corner of his mouth and revealing a mouthful of shark-like serrated teeth, he relentlessly charged at Qi Yu once more.
Qi Yu felt a chill and took two steps back, only to bump into a figure.
She turned around with a chill running down her spine, and there stood the seemingly unharmed Demon Lord Shenyan behind her.
He curled his lips into a smile, and his movements were so fast that Qi Yu could barely see how he made his move; his sharp fingertips slid across Qi Yu's neck.
A gash appeared on her fair and delicate neck, and blood gushed out immediately!
Like wisps of demonic energy, it slipped into the wound, sucking up the warm blood.
Qi Yu felt dizzy for a moment and fell to the ground.
That demonic energy was countless times stronger than the demonic energy attack she had initially received.
Her mind was instantly overwhelmed by a jumble of dark thoughts, her vision blurred, and she was unable to make any further resistance.
So tired...
pain.
Perhaps it's better to just fall asleep...
The girl's eyelids grew heavy, and she finally closed her eyes.
Upon seeing this, the other four demons in the hall stopped in their tracks with regret, looking at the Demon Lord Chen Yan with barely concealed jealousy and hatred.
The Demon Lord Chen Yan curled his lips into a smile, tenderly pulling the girl in black on the ground into his arms, tilting her head slightly to reveal the wound that was bleeding profusely.
He lowered his head, about to open his mouth to bite the wound, when he was suddenly startled by a violent shaking.
The Demon Lord Chenyan looked up in surprise.
The surrounding scenery seemed to have been thrown into a dice cup, shaking wildly. The entire magnificent palace seemed to overlap with an ancient building, constantly changing and teetering on the verge of collapse.
With a loud bang, the ancient building disappeared again.
Holding Qi Yu, the Demon Lord Shenyan was shocked to realize that the small world he controlled was no longer stable!
What happened?!
what happened?
He looked down at the girl in his arms, wondering if it was because of her...
Before he could even raise his head, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him without warning.
The man stretched out a hand with distinct knuckles and covered his head.
"Varied……"
Before he could finish speaking, a pale flame suddenly erupted from the hand, engulfing his entire head.
The headless Demon Lord Chenyan collapsed to the ground with a thud. Before Qi Yu, who was in his arms, also fell, a pair of hands grabbed the girl who was groaning softly in pain.
"I'm late..."
A single, crystal-clear tear rolled down from the man's blood-red eyes, landing with a soft "plop" on the girl's tightly closed right eye.
Feng Xiao, with his long, silver-white hair flowing freely and dressed in a black robe, held Qi Yu in his arms and slowly fixed his gaze on the headless demon that was scurrying around like a headless fly.
This is what caused her pain...
...
The Demon Lord Chenyan clutched his neck, which was gushing blood, in horror.
His head was burned away by the unknown flames.
but!
Clearly, as long as there is sufficient demonic energy within him, his head can regenerate.
Now, for some unknown reason, his head seemed to have been taken to another dimension, allowing him to sense its existence but preventing him from using demonic energy to regenerate a new head!
Another chilling, pale flame shot towards the Demon Lord Chenyan. He instinctively dodged to the side, but the flame unexpectedly changed direction and engulfed his right arm as well!
The Demon Lord Chen Yan knelt on the ground in shock. His lost right hand, like his head, could not regenerate.
no!
I must not be touched by these flames again!
The Demon Lord Chenyan had a premonition that if he were completely consumed by the flames, he would be thrown into another alien space.
He transformed into a cloud of demonic energy and rushed towards the outside of the hall as if flying.
Feng Xiao coldly stared at the ball of demonic energy, a crimson flame mark faintly visible on his forehead.
His thin lips parted slightly, silently reciting a spell.
A massive white fire phoenix rose from his back and flew out, charging headlong towards the surging demonic energy with unstoppable force.
"ah!!!"
The demonic energy let out a miserable cry as it was snatched up by the white fire phoenix and swallowed whole!
The fire phoenix let out a satisfied cry, its narrow phoenix eyes slowly turning to the other four demons in the hall.
When the four demons saw that the Fire Phoenix had killed the Demon Lord Chen Yan so easily, they were so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands, desperately trying to escape from the palace.
The fire phoenix spread its wings and flapped them, devouring the four mid-level demonic creatures one after another.
It flew back to Feng Xiao's side contentedly and burrowed into his body.
Feng Xiao didn't even blink, tenderly wiping the cold sweat from the forehead of the girl in his arms.
"Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, I'm here..."
Tears welled in the girl's eyes. With her eyes closed, her hands trembled unconsciously as she hugged the warm person.
"Mom...I...I miss you so much..."
A fragile murmur rang in Fengxiao's ear.
He paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and hugged Qi Yu even tighter.
The magnificent palace collapsed silently with a deafening roar.
