Chapter 25
"Xi Yunliu, do you really think I came here today to see your romantic escapades?" Genggu laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
When he lowered his head again, his eyes filled with hatred, he gave the order:
"Go! Take Xi Yunliu's head!"
A dozen or so demons surrounded Xi Yunliu and Ying Ning.
Upon seeing this, Xi Yunliu understood that Genggu had come prepared today and would certainly not let the matter rest.
He then placed Yingning in a safe corner, but failed to notice the sudden coldness in her eyes after hearing Genggu's words.
"Sister, don't come out from here."
After saying that, Xi Yunliu got entangled with Gengu and a dozen or so demons.
Ying Ning simply leaned against the tree trunk and watched as Xi Yunliu slaughtered the demons one by one.
As expected of the Demon Lord, even when Geng Gu and more than a dozen demons attacked together, they were defeated after more than a hundred moves against him.
After Xi Yunliu finally destroyed Geng Gu's demonic soul, she slowly walked back.
The moon hangs high in the sky, and the night deepens.
The smell of blood was strong on him.
Xi Yunliu only then noticed that Yingning's expression was off, and thought that the scene just now had frightened her.
"Sister, did I scare you?"
The woman before him had a cold expression and slowly uttered a few words that instantly plunged him into an icy abyss:
"He just called you... Xi Yunliu?"
"The Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, Xi Yunliu?"
Xi Yunliu's expression tightened, thinking that he had angered her by concealing his name, and he hurriedly explained:
"Sister, it's not that I intentionally hid it, but..." He tried his best to explain to Yingning why he had concealed his name.
"Do you know what race I belong to?" Ying Ning asked inexplicably.
He was not given a chance to explain.
"I don't know..."
Xi Yunliu didn't know why Yingning brought up the topic from the past.
All I saw was her cold smile.
"My true form is a phoenix."
Her words struck like a thunderbolt, pinning Xi Yunliu to the spot, rendering her completely immobile.
However, Yingning's words of piercing the heart did not end there.
"That is, those who survived the war between immortals and demons."
"The only phoenix in the family."
The woman in front of him had reddened at the corners of her eyes, and Xi Yunliu stood frozen in place.
He wanted to brush away the chill from Ying Ning's face.
However, they dared not step forward.
"How could that be? It's the Phoenix Clan..." Xi Yunliu muttered to herself.
I can't believe it.
He knew about the Phoenix Clan, who suffered heavy casualties in the war between immortals and demons, and was almost wiped out.
Because he himself was involved in it.
At the very beginning of the war between immortals and demons, the young and arrogant man was pierced through the shoulder bone by an arrow from the Phoenix Clan, and felt that he had lost all face.
He then declared that killing a phoenix would earn three times the military merit.
If you cut off his head and bring it before him, you will receive five times the military merit.
Under such temptation, the demon army almost wiped out the Phoenix Clan on the battlefield.
After torturing and killing the phoenixes one by one, they cut off their heads and offered them as tribute to Xi Yunliu.
Some demon soldiers even personally delivered the captured Phoenix Clan members to Xi Yunliu.
Let him end it himself.
If, at this moment, there were people in the immortal realm who wished he were dead hundreds of times over.
It must be the Phoenix Clan.
"Xi Yunliu, no, I should call you Demon Lord now. Is it fun to play me for fools like this?"
"I really don't know you..."
I really didn't know you were a member of the Phoenix Clan...
Xi Yunliu trembled, a sense of panic about losing his treasure gripping his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He no longer knew how to begin.
Yingning chuckled self-deprecatingly:
"Tell me, you're just an ordinary demon who got caught up in this?"
Hahahaha...
"It's truly laughable that you are Xi Yunliu."
"No wonder...no wonder...when I saved you, you referred to yourself as 'this lord'..."
"I actually saved a demon lord who wiped out my people!!"
The sharpness in her words gradually pierced Xi Yunliu's soft spot.
"I didn't mean to lie to you, but..." He couldn't help but want to pull Yingning into his arms.
He couldn't accept that she was looking at him with the eyes of someone he considered his mortal enemy.
He didn't want to see her expression as she was about to leave him.
"Get away! Don't touch me!"
At his stern voice, Ying Ning immediately took a few steps back, as if she had seen some kind of monstrous flood, and avoided him.
Xi Yunliu's hands were still suspended in mid-air, unable to grasp her even slightly.
He looked at Yingning and saw the wariness in her eyes, and it felt as if his heart had been brutally ripped open, dripping with blood.
Seeing Ying Ning avoiding him, Xi Yunliu had no choice but to slowly lower his hand, the dark purple glass almost shattering, and he spoke softly:
"I made a mistake in that matter."
"I really just don't know..."
"Sister, please forgive me?"
Contrary to his wishes, the woman before him coldly shook her head.
"Xi Yunliu".
"I can't forgive you."
The restraint and pain in her phoenix eyes were impossible to ignore.
After saying that, Ying Ning suddenly activated her spiritual power in her left hand and attacked him directly.
Xi Yunliu instinctively blocked the attack swiftly, and was surprised to see Ying Ning about to strike again:
"You...you want to kill me?"
"You killed my people, how can I allow you to live in front of me?!" Ying Ning attacked again.
Xi Yunliu blocked each move without making a move, but an expression of disbelief flashed across her eyes.
Yingning was actually willing to risk her life.
They were perfectly fine tonight, who would have thought they'd turn on each other and kill each other now?!
Xi Yunliu had originally planned that if she wanted to leave after arriving in the Demon Realm, she could use some methods she had already prepared to keep her there.
Unexpectedly, what happened tonight will be used sooner than expected.
Xi Yunliu dodged another attack. Seeing that Ying Ning really wanted to sever ties with him, he hardened his heart and conjured a complex chain with a faint golden hue out of thin air with his right hand.
The chains flew off and, catching Yingning off guard, instantly bound her slender, smooth neck.
Once the chains were attached, they immediately disappeared.
Almost at the same time, Ying Ning felt that all the spiritual energy in her body had been drained.
My body went limp, and I was about to fall.
【This is...】
The pale-faced woman's eyes widened with increased wariness; she seemed genuinely unable to believe he would use such a thing to trap her.
