Chapter 19: Demonic Fire Spreads Across the Land and the Immortal King's Back Injury Alert
Demonic Fire Spreads Across the Land and the Immortal King's Back Injury Alert
On the tundra, time seems to be frozen, yet also seems to be accelerated.
Jiang Xuelan was caught in the rip between the illusion of the icy plain and the searing reality. In his sea of consciousness, there was a biting chill, icy shackles, and the curse-like sound of "peeling off." In reality, the chest pressed against his back radiated a steady, overbearing heat. The arm stretched across his waist felt heavy, its presence undeniable. The pulses of his demonic core, transmitted through the Heart-Slaying Contract, gently yet stubbornly washed away the shards of ice in his sea of consciousness, bringing with it an almost... soothing, eerie illusion.
**Stupid monster! Who needs your appeasement? Take your hoof away!**
He struggled to break free from the damning physical contact and the even more damning feeling of connection, but his body betrayed him. The steady heat from Li Jiuyou's demon core not only resisted the chill of fear brought on by the memory illusion, but also seeped into his skin, which had been burned by the magma, with a subtle, almost analgesic effect! The stinging pain of the burn and the icy pain, under this strange "heat compress", strangely reached a certain balance, causing his stiff body to instinctively crave this "comfort". Instead of struggling to break free, he curled up and sank deeper into the scorching embrace.
"Senior... Senior Brother? The Demon King?" Ah Che's voice was tinged with tears as he circled the two men "embracing" on the ground. He tried to get closer, but was pushed back by the chaotic energy field. He was almost squeezing water out of the broom handle in his hand. "Senior Xuanjia! What... what should I do? Senior Brother is all frozen! Why... why is the Demon King still holding on to him?"
Man Gu was also as anxious as an ant on the hot pan, but he had a more blunt "relief" in his heart than A Che: "Wang...Wang seems quite safe hugging the Immortal Lord? His face looks much better too! The Immortal Lord may be cold, but Wang is warm! Does this...does this count as mutual warmth?" He quickly pulled out his little notebook and excitedly wrote: "Major discovery! Wang and the Immortal Lord huddled together for warmth, and the effect is remarkable! Does Wang need low temperature? Does the Immortal Lord need high temperature? They are highly complementary! Suggestion: Sleeping together in the future? Feasibility: We'll have to observe Wang's reaction when he wakes up..."
Xuanjia's mung bean eyes gleamed with brilliance, and his tortoise shell vibrated with excitement: "Wonderful! So wonderful! The harmony of yin and yang! The fusion of ice and fire! How can the Heart-Destroying Contract be used in this way? This is the first time I've seen this in my ten thousand years of life! This is much more exciting than a storybook! Write it down! You must write it down!" It wished it could grow eight hands to draw a diagram.
The gravekeeper's hunched figure still stood beside the black jade ice soul grass, his cloudy gray eyes quietly observing the two people entangled on the ground. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate time and space. His cracked lips moved silently, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into an inaudible sigh.
Boom——!!!
From the direction of the Bone Road, a dull roar like rolling thunder erupted! The entire tundra shook! Then came shrill howls, angry roars, and the harsh crackling of bones! The thick gray fog was stirred by the violent energy shock, rolling violently!
"It's the Bone Guards guarding the tomb! They're fighting!" The black-armored turtle's green eyes suddenly turned towards the entrance, and the patterns on its shell instantly lit up. Its tone was solemn, "The pursuers are here! So fast! Those stupid Bone Guards won't be able to hold us back for long!"
As if to confirm Xuan Jia's words, a crimson, violent demonic energy, like a giant flaming python, suddenly tore through the swirling gray fog at the entrance and slammed fiercely into the bone archway! The entire archway, built of giant beast bones, trembled violently, bone powder falling, and groaned under the heavy weight!
"The aura of Red Flame! And... the Viper and Rock Rhino!" Man Gu's face changed drastically, his huge bull eyes instantly turning bloodshot. "It's the three commanders! They're chasing us!"
The pursuers have reached the White Bone Gate! The graveyard guards on the Dry Bone Road have obviously failed to completely stop these ferocious demon domain leaders!
The shadow of death, like an icy tide, instantly flooded the small tundra! Ah Che's face paled with fear, his legs weakened, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. Man Gu roared, his demonic energy erupting, his muscles flexing as he instantly entered combat mode, blocking the unconscious Li Jiuyou and Jiang Xuelan, though he knew this was tantamount to trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.
Xuanjia was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down (if he had feet). "It's over! How did these evil stars break through the bone guard so quickly? Now they are really going to become fertilizer in the tomb! Immortal Lord! Li boy! Wake up! If you don't wake up, we will become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks together!"
Desperate couple?!
This extremely impactful word, like a thunderclap, struck Jiang Xuelan's chaotic sea of consciousness!
**What kind of mandarin duck is this?! Who is this stupid monster a mandarin duck? **
A rage mixed with shame, indignation, absurdity, and a strong desire to survive, like a volcanic eruption, instantly broke through the frozen fear and that damned greed! He suddenly opened his eyes!
What caught his eye was Li Jiuyou's sharp jawline, right in front of him, and the feeling of his hot breath on the skin of his neck! Even more terrible, the presence of the arm around his waist had never been so clear!
"Get out of here!" A low growl of suppressed shame and anger squeezed out from between Jiang Xuelan's teeth! He used all his strength and struggled violently!
