Chapter 99 Nightmare "Brother, long time no see."...
In the North, Dragon Bone Mountain, in the Demon Palace.
"Lord Jiuying? And...Lord Guixu?"
The demon guarding the gate saw the two figures coming towards him and walked forward in disbelief.
"I'm back, why don't you get out of the way?"
The Nine Infants transformed into a human form had a sinister aura, a pale face, and an arrogant tone.
"B-but haven't you been expelled by the Demon Lord--Ah!!"
Before he could finish his words, the demon was suddenly knocked over by a palm force and immediately vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
"Hmph, I'm back, so naturally I have someone to rely on. Do I really need you to be so nosy? Huh!"
He glanced at the guard, then swaggered into the palace by opening the door.
Behind him, Guixu with an indifferent expression also floated into the hall.
Amidst the stunned and uncertain expressions of the demon guards within the hall, Jiuying raised his hand and commanded, "You, go inform the Demon Lord that we've brought him a surprise."
The demon guards looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally one of them said in a trembling voice, "Sir, what is this?"
"Just say it's an old friend named Gu." Guixu responded expressionlessly.
The demon guards responded and left in a hurry.
Jiuying snorted coldly, then walked into the Xuanying Hall behind the main hall without looking back. He looked around at the gorgeous decorations with interest, his arms folded, and it was obvious that he was determined to return.
Guixu glanced at him and said, "Come to think of it, ever since I was severely injured by Gu last time, I went to the Deep Turtle Swamp. Why did you escape after being beaten half to death?"
"After Huiming died, I fought the former Demon Lord for the throne—that guy was no match for me except for being a dragon. But just as I was fighting him, the Demon Lord arrived."
Jiuying's eyes grew darker as he thought of the past. "I thought it was just a little ghost, but it turned out to be a demon. He actually tore the dragon apart. I saw that he was so angry that I had no choice but to escape."
Of course, he also followed to fight the sudden arrival of the black dragon, and almost died along with the magic dragon.
"Oh, so he's just not strong enough." Guixu's voice was calm, but his words provoked a fierce glint in Jiuying's eyes. "Then doesn't he have a single demon king under his command now?"
"Hmph, you little fish, don't you know that?" Jiuying sneered. "He had previously gone to the Taoists' territory and released the Silver Dragon, which had been suppressed for over a decade. He was the former Demon Lord's eldest son... That fool was seriously injured and mentally debilitated, and he had long since regarded the current Demon Lord as his master!"
Guixu frowned when he heard this and just said "Oh" without saying anything else.
Seeing that grave face, Jiuying didn't want to say anything more. Since there was no one in the courtyard, silence fell. He knocked on the armrest in annoyance and stood up suddenly.
"That bunch of rubbish! It takes so long to pass on a message. I'm going to go see for myself!"
Guixu watched him walk away without saying anything to stop him. His demonic aura moved slightly, and he simply released the spatial cocoon.
The magic cocoon gradually condensed into a black rope. The pale-faced human monk closed his eyes and frowned.
Guixu looked at Gu Congxing, his gray eyes reflecting his face.
"It was a monk who was present that year... but it wasn't him."
He blinked and looked away.
"It took me seven years to recover from that sword. Human cultivators also have such abilities... I wonder if I can defeat them if we meet again."
Guixu muttered to himself, then ignored him and closed his eyes to mobilize his magic energy to heal his wounds.
Demonic energy surged around him, covering his entire body like a shadow, and at this moment, the unconscious Gu Congxing suddenly opened his eyes!
“Swish!”
The Whale-Slaying Sword flew out from its scabbard and pierced Guixu's abdomen in an instant!
"!! Puff——!" Guixu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and looked back with bloodshot eyes!
Gu Congxing's spiritual power surged throughout his body, and his sharp edge was exposed. There was no sign of weakness or unconsciousness at all!
He had actually woken up a long time ago, but pretended to be unconscious, waiting for the right opportunity to launch a sneak attack!
"hateful……"
Guixu was covering his wound and was about to summon the white bone coral staff, but he saw Gu Congxing's eyes turned cold and he immediately stabbed at him with a sword!
Golden light surrounded his body and gathered on the long sword. It did not sound fierce, but it had the ability to cut gold and jade!
“Crack!!”
The long sword pierced through his chest, and the magic core in Guixu's body shattered!
"How, is it possible—"
He opened his eyes wide in horror and stared at the figure in front of him.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and even though he was spitting blood, he had to speak out: "Oh, right, you are his younger brother..."
Gu Congxing raised her eyes and looked at him, her pair of glassy eyes shining brightly.
"Your brother severely injured you in the past—today, I will come and put an end to you once and for all!"
"No wonder..." Guixu lowered his eyes, and his gray pupils gradually widened.
"If my brother is like this, then he must be even stronger now. I can't beat him... Humans, they're so strong."
Gu Congxing's eyes moved slightly. He bit his lip, but did not say a word. He just approached silently with the sword in hand.
Guixu raised his eyes with great effort, revealing an extremely calm expression.
The demons had extremely long lifespans. He had spent hundreds of years alone in the dark realm of space, and had long since felt that everything was empty. However, he had never expected that seven years ago, when he was ordered to carry out a boring mission, he would witness a stunning sword light.
Although it was directed at him, the moment he saw the supreme sword intent, he trembled all over and felt his heart beating wildly for the first time in a long time.
In the past, he would have just let his life fade away, but this time he devoted himself to self-cultivation, just to fight that human again.
Humans, despite being short-lived and fragile, take it seriously...it's very interesting.
"If you don't want to die, run."
His demonic cores had all been shattered, and the demonic aura emanating from his body was becoming increasingly weaker.
"The Demon Lord is no longer human."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and the magic power around him completely dissipated.
Gu Congxing's eyes paused when he heard this. Just as he was about to move, he heard footsteps outside the door!
There is no window behind me, and if I try to climb out of the window in front, I will only bump into them!
Gu Congxing only thought for a few seconds, then immediately summoned the Daotian-level concealment talisman and jumped onto the beam of the dome!
“Click—”
The heavy door was pushed open, and Jiuying's voice was heard in the hall: "The Demon Lord is really impatient. Gu Congxing has been captured by us and is in a space cocoon. He can't escape!"
Gu Congxing held his breath and suppressed all his spiritual energy to the lowest level, hiding his body in the shadows.
"And there's that fish in Guixu watching. Hey, Guixu—damn it, why did he fall over!?"
Jiuying ran to Guixu in surprise and roared again!
"Dead?! He's dead? Who is it?! I know, it's that damn Gu Congxing—huh?!"
Before he could finish his words, an invisible force grabbed him in mid-air, and a dislocating sound came from his neck.
Jiuying opened his eyes wide due to suffocation, and his face was blue and purple.
"Where is he?"
A majestic and gloomy voice sounded in the hall.
It's Junior Brother...
Gu Congxing's heart trembled suddenly, and he couldn't help but look down.
After seven years, the junior brother's voice is very different from before.
He blinked and looked intently at the dark figure in the hall.
Zhong Ming was still a teenager before, but now he has grown tall and strong, with taut muscles undulating continuously. One can tell his mighty strength at a glance.
He raised his right arm, and his slender five fingers gradually closed together, and the murderous aura around him became even stronger.
"Tell me quickly, where did he go?"
"Ahem!! How do I know——"
Gu Congxing only felt that the air in the hall suddenly became cold, and a "crack" sound came from below, followed by a heart-wrenching scream!
“Ahhhhhhhh!!”
Jiuying's right arm was torn off!
Behind Zhong Ming, a dragon blood vine as thick as an arm broke out of the ground and wrapped around Jiuying's limbs.
Only his chuckle echoed in the silence.
"You have three more chances."
Gu Congxing suddenly felt a chill on his back and his whole body trembled.
Is this my junior brother?
That obedient and soft, little white flower-like Zhong Ming? !
The scene before him was like a nightmare: blood, screams, torture... all shrouded in the darkness of the temple, seeming so unreal.
When he came here, he heard what the two demons said, that his junior brother had become violent and brutal, even bloody and cruel, so he naturally didn't believe it.
Instead, when they said that his junior brother hated him, he thought it was understandable.
After all, it was indeed when he was protecting himself that he was wounded with a sword, causing him to cry in grief and anger.
However, based on his understanding of his junior fellow apprentice, how fierce could he be?
Such a well-behaved person would at most cry and complain, and then rub his head against me to act coquettishly.
——That’s how it should be.
The torture below was still going on, and the arrogant Jiuying was now screaming in pain and begging for mercy humbly.
However, it was of no use, as his other arm was broken.
——How could this be?
Gu Congxing looked at the scene in front of him, as if he was watching an unfamiliar play, as if he was the only spectator left in the world, forced to stay far away and watch the actions of the people on the stage.
The unfinished words of the senior brother suddenly rang in my mind——
"Our connection has almost ceased, especially since he openly released the demonic dragon three years ago..."
Not long ago, the two demons also mentioned that the Demon Lord had brought back the Demon Dragon.
The demonic dragon captured by the master, sealed at the bottom of Wuji Cliff, was actually released by Zhong Ming after breaking the barrier?!
How could this be?!
“Ah ...
Jiuying's angry curses came to an abrupt end. At the same time, Gu Congxing heard the chilling sound of bones breaking.
Even in this dark Xuanying Palace, one can see the blood constantly flowing out.
Jiuying... was killed.
And, without a doubt, it was a massacre.
Gu Congxing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, feeling a biting cold all over his body.
Is this my junior brother?
This is my junior brother.
Will I be killed by him like this?
still……
At this moment, the tall figure who had his back to this side suddenly turned around, and his dark golden eyes stared directly at the beams!
Gu Congxing couldn't move at all, and felt that his breathing was about to stagnate.
But at this moment, a silver-white figure strode into the hall quickly, and the young man's clear voice seemed to dispel the breath of death.
"Sir! Those demons you mentioned earlier have been captured! They are waiting for your decision in the main hall!"
Hearing the voice, Zhong Ming withdrew his gaze and turned to the young man with silver hair and silver eyes.
"Got it. I'll be right there."
Two figures, one in black and one in white, left one after another, but Gu Congxing was still hidden on the beam, motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, his cold limbs began to feel numb. He circulated his spiritual energy and jumped down.
He took one look at the two bodies lying on the ground and made a decision in his heart - go!
You can’t stay here any longer, go ahead and meet up with the senior brother!
He must ask carefully what his junior brother has experienced in the past few years!
He silently released his spiritual power, and when he sensed that there was no one else around, he immediately climbed out the window!
It was already night, and only the blood moon hung high in the dark sky. Gu Congxing mobilized his spiritual energy and summoned the Whale-Slaying Sword without hesitation.
However, just as he was about to step onto the sword, a sudden sound came from behind him.
Gu Congxing's heart sank, and he looked back stiffly -
A raven-colored figure emerged from the shadows, with the blood-colored dragon pattern on the hem of his clothes floating faintly, making him look more like a Shura coming from the endless sea of blood.
The pair of dark golden eyes stared at Gu Congxing without blinking, the light in their eyes was terrifyingly bright.
"Brother, long time no see—"
