Chapter 16 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (22)
However, just as we were celebrating our victory, a mysterious man in a black robe appeared in front of us. He looked at us and said in a low and hoarse voice: "You did a good job... But the game has just begun..."
I looked around. The once familiar faces now looked exhausted from surviving a disaster. The laughter and cheers of celebration also seemed a little weak.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, mixed with the aroma of wine, which was particularly pungent.
My spiritual perception tells me that beneath this peaceful atmosphere, there is a sense of uneasiness and restlessness.
Liang Xu stood beside me, his deep eyes were also solemn at this moment, and he held my hand tightly.
His demonic energy seemed to be much more restrained than before, but it still emitted a dangerous aura, like a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, ready to devour everything at any time.
"Feng Ziang'er," his voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of barely perceptible anxiety, "I always feel that things are not over yet."
My heart sank and the uneasy feeling grew stronger.
I could feel that the spiritual energy fluctuations in the air became abnormal, as if something was secretly spying on us.
"I feel it, too," I whispered, glancing around cautiously. "Something is approaching."
At the celebration banquet, people were toasting each other, unaware of the approaching danger.
Those hypocritical smiles seem so ironic at this moment.
I felt a wave of disgust, as if a ball of cotton was blocking my chest and making it difficult for me to breathe.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death," I whispered, a surge of inexplicable anger rising in my heart, "we have to take the initiative."
Liang Xu nodded in agreement, his eyes becoming firm and sharp.
"I agree. Rather than passively waiting, it is better to take the initiative."
We didn't say anything, but just found an excuse to quietly leave the noisy party.
The moment I stepped out of the door, I felt a cold breath blowing towards me, as if an invisible hand was strangling my throat, making it impossible for me to breathe.
There was complete silence all around, as if all sounds were swallowed up by the darkness.
"Let's go," I said softly, holding the sword tightly in my hand, my eyes determined, "let's go and see who is behind this."
We walked side by side on the deserted street. The cobblestones under our feet made a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent night.
My spiritual perception tells me that there are countless pairs of eyes lurking around us, watching us in the darkness, like poisonous snakes waiting to strike, waiting to give us a fatal blow.
I could feel the demonic energy emanating from Liang Xu becoming stronger and stronger, and the blood-red color in his eyes became more intense, like two burning flames leaping in the darkness.
We didn't stop and kept walking forward until we came to an abandoned old house.
It was an eerie place, filled with a sickening stench, as if it were a giant tomb.
We looked at each other, both of us with a hint of solemnity in our eyes.
Just as I was about to step into the old house, Liang Xu grabbed me.
He looked down into my eyes and said sternly, "Feng Ziang'er, be careful."
I nodded, and just as I was about to speak, I heard a hoarse voice coming from deep inside the old house:
"You guys... are finally here..."
I held the long sword tightly in my hand, and the patterns on the hilt shone with a cold glow in the night.
Liang Xu stood beside me, his breath blending into the gloom of the forest, bringing with it an unsettling sense of oppression.
We stepped step by step into the forest swallowed by darkness. There were thick dead leaves under our feet. Each step made a tiny sound, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
The surrounding trees were like monsters with bared fangs and claws, swaying in the darkness and emitting low groaning sounds, as if they were laughing at our ignorance and recklessness.
I could feel that countless pairs of eyes were hiding in the darkness, watching us. They were like poisonous snakes, ready to give us a fatal blow at any time.
There was a nauseating smell of decay in the air.
My spiritual perception became extremely sensitive, capturing every tiny fluctuation around me, trying to find potential dangers.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the forest.
I immediately became alert, tightened my grip on the sword, and signaled Liang Xu to be more alert.
In the darkness, pairs of scarlet eyes gradually emerged. They were the minions of the blood wolf. They held various sharp weapons in their hands and looked ferocious and terrifying under the light of the torches.
Blood Wolf stood at the front of the team, a sly smile on his greedy face.
"Boy, if you know what's best for you, hand over the treasures on you and I will spare your lives!" The Blood Wolf's voice was hoarse and harsh, like the friction of gravel, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Otherwise..." He sneered, his eyes as vicious as a venomous snake, "You will die here!"
I snorted coldly, looking at their ferocious appearance, the long sword in my hand made a buzzing sound, and spiritual power surged throughout my body, ready to fight at any time.
Liang Xu also exuded a strong demonic aura, and the demonic patterns behind him jumped in the darkness like living things.
I knew that a fierce battle was inevitable facing these greedy guys.
"Attack!" Blood Wolf gave the order, and his men immediately attacked us.
The sound of swords clashing echoed in the forest like the whisper of death.
I held the sword tightly, nimbly dodging the enemy's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Liang Xu released a powerful demonic energy, shaking the surrounding trees to the point that they were about to fall.
We worked together in an effort to break through their encirclement.
However, the enemy was outnumbered and we were in a tough fight.
Just when I felt the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, Liang Xu suddenly looked at me with a meaningful smile on his face and a deep voice rang in my ears: "Feng Ziang'er, leave it to me from now on..."
The sword in his hand cut through the air, bringing up a ray of cold light.
Liang Xu and I stood back to back, our spiritual energy and demonic energy intertwined to form an invisible barrier that kept Blood Wolf's men out.
Every time the swords collided with the blades, dazzling sparks flew and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Liang Xu let out a low roar, and the demonic energy around him surged like a living thing. The powerful force made the surrounding trees creak.
I could feel the heart-pounding magic in him, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
Taking advantage of the moment when his demonic energy exploded, I seized a flaw and stabbed the blade of my sword into the chest of one of the Blood Wolf's men as accurately as a poisonous snake.
The man groaned and then fell to the ground, dead.
Blood Wolf's men were beaten back step by step. Liang Xu and I worked in perfect harmony, like two sharp blades, tearing apart the enemy's encirclement.
I can feel the blood boiling in my body, and every time I swing the sword, it seems as if I release the depression in my heart.
The battle before my eyes was as fierce as a storm, but it also gave me a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
Just when I thought the battle was about to end, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of us.
It was Ling Feng, the cunning cultivator. He was looking at us with amusement in his sly eyes.
"You two are really amazing. Those idiots of Blood Wolf are no match for you." Ling Feng had a hypocritical smile on his face, which made me feel uncomfortable.
