Battle 2
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Sheliuying fired three arrows in quick succession. Gu King raised his eyes, and Sheliuying's heart suddenly stopped. The next second, everything went black before her eyes, and she was violently swept away by a force.
The Gu King paused, looking at the new wound on his wrist, and anger flashed across his expressionless face once again.
The eyes on the old tree's gnarled roots spun wildly. Mie Chenhuan's mind went blank, and she couldn't understand why she was deliberately making trouble for herself by working so hard.
But he had no time to think, and the Hundred-Bend Slash came down on him without mercy.
The thing looked very strange, like a weapon or a claw. Mie Chenhuan was forced back several steps by the force of the hundred-fold cleavage, and the ghostly energy in his body surged wildly, causing his vision to go black.
"careful!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and two gusts of wind swept past Mie Chenhuan's ears.
With a flick of his wrist, the Gu King unleashed a surge of evil energy that instantly dispersed the Demon-Slaying Arrows. At the same time, a Demon-Slaying Axe cleaved down from the sky.
With a loud bang!
"Don't come here to die!"
With a soft laugh, the Gu King swung the Hundred-Bend Blade with all his might, sending Lan Qizheng flying far away like a kite, along with the Demon-Slaying Axe, which slashed towards Mie Chenhuan.
Mie Chenhuan forced down the blood that was rising in his throat. Escape was no longer an option. Before him, Ye Honglanzhi attacked with a sword, her powerful demonic energy unstoppable.
A strong wind swept across, and the Gu King only paused for a moment before his Hundred-Bend Slash hooked onto Ye Honglanzhi's longsword with a snap.
Ye Honglanzhi's pupils suddenly contracted. At the critical moment, Xiao Litian and Mie Chenhuan made their moves one after the other.
Boom! Bang!
Ghostly energy, evil energy, and demonic energy intertwined wildly, and Ye Honglanzhi was thrown back and crashed heavily into the roots of an old tree not far away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Lan Fengguang struggled to stand up, but She Liuying dared not approach and could only wait for the right moment to shoot the Demon-Slaying Arrow.
Meanwhile, Fuyi and Leqing were restraining the Gu Queen's movements. After the Gu King appeared, the Gu Queen's movements seemed to be restricted, and she kept moving around the Gu King.
boom--
Another deafening roar followed. With the demon corpses inside the treacherous peaks mostly cleared out, the rest of the group rushed to the entrance to provide support.
"How could this be...?" Xiao Feilian was startled.
"Mie Chenhuan!" Xiao Cangdao was eager to rush forward, but she was forced to retreat by an invisible pressure.
"That's... the Gu King?" Wu Fei was terrified and involuntarily backed away. "I...I...Hey? What are you doing!"
Wu Fei suddenly knelt down and hugged Hu Feng's leg tightly, crying, "Don't go! Look at the scene, you'll really die!"
"you--"
“He’s right.” Kou Xiaobai’s pupils trembled violently, his face turned pale, and his body seemed to be shaking slightly. “It really is possible to die…”
He subconsciously grabbed the broad, thick hand of the pisi. "You should be able to feel it too, right? The Gu King is different from the other Gu offspring."
Xichi remained silent; even if he wanted to go for it, he probably already knew what the outcome would be.
"Master, Master—" Kou Huai scooped up the unconscious Kou Qiyu and looked around frantically. "What happened? Where's Yingmou? Master, Master, wake up! Don't scare me!"
"Cough cough... He's dead..." Lan Xun, covered in blood, knelt on the ground, his face ashen as he stared at the horrific scene before him. "We... are no match for him... far from it..."
"Wh-what..." Kou Huai stared blankly at the battle before him, as if he had forgotten to breathe for a moment.
"Die!!!" Le Qing gathered all his demonic power and charged at the Gu Queen like a madman. The Gu Queen retreated several steps, her sword sharp and her aura magnificent. The two forces collided violently, and Le Qing was forced to retreat. Fu Yi took the opportunity to deliver a sword strike.
This sword strike was swift and elegant, drawing a poignant arc between the two, as a chilling demonic power swept away.
Spring snow!
The Queen of Gu retreated several steps, shattering the terrifying demonic power with a single sword strike, but she didn't have time to dodge the Rejuvenating Snow. With a flash of sword light, she forcefully took the sword strike with her body and then struck again with her backhand.
Caught off guard, Fu Yi's eyes flashed with cold light, and a sharp pain shot through her shoulder. Without thinking, she quickly channeled her demonic power.
boom!
The Gu Queen was filled with surging evil power, but at the same time, she suddenly moved and quickly moved towards the Gu King.
"Stop her!" Le Qing shouted, his mouth filled with the stench of blood.
The Gu King's irritation became more and more obvious. Just as Xiao Litian was about to strike, the Gu Queen appeared in time and blocked Xiao Litian's attack with her sword!
Bang!
Caught off guard, Xiao Litian was jolted away by the sudden evil force. In his last moments, he saw Bai Zhe Gua mercilessly swinging towards Mie Chen Huan.
"Run!"
Mie Chenhuan did want to escape, but his excessive use of ghost energy had caused his body to become uncontrollable.
My head hurts so much.
Those piercing sounds.
Kill them! Why aren't they gone?! Kill them!
kill--
"Mie Chenhuan!" Xiao Cangdao screamed.
Mie Chenhuan suddenly opened his eyes and narrowly dodged the approaching Hundred-Bend Slice. The surging evil power swept over him, stimulating the ghostly energy within his body to become even more frenzied.
Mie Chenhuan knelt on one knee, coughed up blood, and his vision was already somewhat blurred.
"Mie Chen Huan! Mie Chen Huan!" Xiao Cang Dao tried to rush forward several times, but was forced back by that evil force.
"Sister!" Xiao Litian was extremely anxious, but he was entangled with the Gu Queen and couldn't get away.
"Truly a rare demon." The Gu King took a step forward. "What a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, his vision blurred and Mie Chenhuan vanished.
The ghostly aura began to spread wildly in all directions.
In fact, the Gu King is not without weaknesses. Just now, Mie Chenhuan's consciousness has never been so clear. He saw that the Gu King's hand holding the Hundred-Fold Scythe was trembling slightly, and his wounds were still bleeding.
He is strong, but that doesn't mean he won't die.
Having figured this out, a cold glint flashed in Mie Chenhuan's eyes. Almost simultaneously, the Gu King also caught sight of Mie Chenhuan's attack.
The Hundred-Bend Blade unleashed astonishing evil power, seemingly merging with the Gu King, and surged towards the dark, ghostly figure spreading with ghostly energy like a raging torrent.
The sky and earth suddenly darkened, and the two forces tore each other apart wildly, finally transforming into a soaring strike that pierced the sky and descended.
"Disdain for worldly pleasures—"
Countless figures flashed in Mie Chenhuan's dark eyes. They roared, cursed, laughed wildly, and cried, eventually transforming into a greedy, withered vine that only knew how to take.
Time changes rapidly, the seasons shift, and time is long and lonely.
Boom!
The powerful force sent everyone flying, and the old tree's gnarled roots crashed headlong into the broken gnarled branches.
The ear-piercing sound tugged at Mie Chenhuan's last remaining sanity. The Gu King grinned maliciously, and with another surge of evil power, the Hundred-Bend Slice suddenly split in two, piercing through Mie Chenhuan's chest. At the same time, astonishing spiritual power burst forth from the gnarled roots of the old tree, viciously slashing down from the Gu King's injured shoulder.
The Gu King's smile froze on his face, and the heart that had been beating in his chest suddenly stopped.
Immediately following, another deafening explosion occurred.
boom!
Mie Chenhuan was thrown out by Bai Zhe Gua.
"it turns out……"
The Gu King suddenly widened his eyes, and the evil power within his body surged forth in an instant.
Awakened by the tremor, Kou Qiyu coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Master!" Kou Huai exclaimed with delight.
Kou Qiyu looked into the distance and brought his palm down, shouting, "Imperial, Tuhen!"
In an instant, a beam of azure light shot out from the ground, accompanied by a long cry.
At the same time, Shui Buyun, who was also awakened by the tremor, saw the soaring evil power and his demonic power surged.
"Gu King!"
Boom—
The azure light and the watery color simultaneously slammed down towards the Gu King.
“Mi Chen Huan, Mi Chen Huan…”
Xiao Cangdao scrambled towards Mie Chenhuan, who was bleeding profusely from his chest and mouth. His half-open eyes made it unclear whether he recognized the black-clad girl who was holding him and weeping bitterly.
"Mie Chenhuan, no, Mie Chenhuan..." Xiao Cangdao looked at the blood on his hands, his mind went blank.
what to do?
What should she do?
"Don't die, please don't die! You're a demon! Demons... can't die, you can't die, right... Mie Chenhuan, Mie Chenhuan... Waaah..."
"It's all my fault... I'm sorry... It's all because of me... Waaah..."
If you didn't come to Qiling Mountain.
If you hadn't met me.
if……
“Mi Chenhuan… Mi Chenhuan…”
"Cough cough..." Mie Chenhuan's eyes slowly brightened. What was this feeling? Right, he had already... in order to kill the Gu King.
"I... am a demon..." He didn't know who he was talking to; the voices in his head were making his head throb with pain. "Living... no... I'm already... dead... whether as a fox demon... or the Demon Lord of Meishan... I..."
He closed his eyes again, letting his consciousness be consumed by the chaos within him, "In this world... I have nothing... I have no attachments... nor anyone... I care about... It doesn't matter..."
"But I care about you!" Xiao Cangdao cried, his heart breaking as he held Mie Chenhuan tightly. "You don't care, but I do! Mie Chenhuan, I care about you. There's still someone in this world who cares about you. Please... please... don't leave me..."
Hot tears fell one by one into the tightly closed eye on the gnarled roots of the old tree.
In an instant, a soft light emanated from the gnarled roots of the old tree, and the eye on the hilt of the knife slowly opened and began to dart around.
Just as the ghostly aura on Mie Chenhuan's body was about to dissipate, a soft light gently enveloped his body, drawing back all the overflowing ghostly aura.
Even the horrifying, fatal wound on his chest began to heal at a visible speed.
My head...it's finally not hurting so much anymore...
In her last moments of consciousness, Mie Chenhuan saw the silly girl holding her, sobbing uncontrollably, and sighed silently.
Boom—
The earth shook violently, and Shui Buyong and the blue light were simultaneously repelled by the evil force. The blue light appeared before everyone, revealing a young man dressed in green, holding a curved sword. However, he still looked childish, and his sharp gaze swept around before finally settling on the disheveled Kou Qiyu.
who is he?
Kou Huai was stunned. He had never known that there was such a demon by his master's side.
"Shadow Eyes is dead?" the young man asked.
Kou Qiyu closed his eyes, which was taken as tacit agreement.
A chill flashed in the young man's eyes as he looked finally at the berserk Gu King before him.
After enduring the Destroyer's attack from Mie Chenhuan, his arm, which had been severely injured by Yingmou, was almost severed by Mie Chenhuan's blade. This attack also caused his heart, which had just stabilized, to weaken again.
The Gu King was restless within his body. He had not expected that these ants, which he should have easily crushed, could unleash such powerful energy.
The evil power within his body was showing signs of becoming uncontrollable. He took a deep breath and watched as a beam of azure light pierced the sky. He raised his hand and swung out the Hundred-Bend Slash.
With a loud bang, the blue light temporarily receded, and Shui Buyong and Lan Fengguang appeared on the left and right respectively.
Ding! Boom!
The heavily injured Lan Fengguang flew far away, and Shui Buyun swayed, his demonic power surging, and thrust his sword at the Gu King.
Looking at the ferocious face of the young man in front of him, and recalling the scene of being turned away by Shu Huixin, the Gu King was instantly enraged.
With a clang, Bai Zhe parried Shui Buyun's sword and pierced his chest with a backhand palm strike.
You deserve to die!
"No!"
With a cry of surprise, the Gu King's vision blurred, and the restless demonic Gu within his body was instantly suppressed by an even more powerful force.
Two jet-black vines swept away the Gu King with unstoppable force, and then Shu Huixin grabbed Shui Buyun, who was covered in blood.
Shui Buyun's mouth was gushing blood, but when he saw Shu Huixin, he actually laughed.
"No!"
The Gu King staggered two steps, his knees buckled, and he suddenly knelt down. Almost simultaneously, the Gu Queen struck back Xiao Litian with her sword and quickly returned to the Gu King's side.
"Brother Rong," Shu Huixin said, her expression conflicted, "Don't force me..."
The Gu King gave a bitter smile and whispered to the Gu Queen, "Let's go."
