Zhu Yan did not continue the attack, but instead cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Mengmeng.
He said in a slightly gentler tone, "I wonder why you would participate in the spell trial, a competition that even a great demon would look down upon?"
That would be rather unbecoming of me.
Lu Mengmeng rolled her eyes.
"None of your business!"
Without stopping, he swung his fist and continued to punch him.
Whether it was beneath her dignity was secondary; if it weren't for her tiny little cub, she wouldn't even know such a trial existed in the world.
Not to mention participating.
Now that she's already participated, there's no need for this Zhu Yan to whine and complain.
Zhu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Lu Mengmeng act without thinking twice and immediately start hitting him, his expression filled with a dangerous aura.
"If you can't reason with me, then don't blame me."
Go to hell!
Zhu Yan met Lu Mengmeng's fist with a punch of his own.
The two men's fists collided.
With a loud "bang!", sand and stones flew everywhere, and nearby sycamore trees were broken.
The phoenixes circling in the sky cried out in despair because they had lost their roost.
They quickly joined the battle.
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
Xiao Zhenyu gritted his teeth, gripped the snakeskin in his hand, and slowly backed away.
Since Zhu Yan arrived, it has basically drawn away all the hatred from the phoenixes.
For a moment, no one really noticed him.
But Lu Haotian is different.
Instead of communicating with fairies you don't know very well, try to get clues from them.
He finds it easier to communicate with humans.
He added a Gale Spell and immediately followed.
Lu Mengmeng's side was fighting fiercely.
Phoenixes all use fire-based magic attacks, so what they look like is just dazzling.
If it doesn't burn, then it's a waste of time.
Both Lu Mengmeng and Zhu Yan are demon beasts that rely on physical strength to attack.
The fight was incredibly fast. In the back-and-forth exchanges, Zhu Yan's left cheek had caved in, and his right arm was swollen and red, twisted in a bizarre way.
But his expression carried a strange yet excited smile.
It's like the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent in chess.
Lu Mengmeng's clothes were torn in several places, and her hair was somewhat disheveled.
Looking at my scratched arm, I was inwardly groaning.
Sure enough, none of the great demons they encountered were vegetarians.
No matter what world you're in!!
While the two demons were exchanging blows, Lu Haotian had already stopped Xiao Zhenyu, who was quietly retreating.
Xiao Zhenyu saw that Lu Haotian, who was blocking his way, had an extremely ugly expression.
"Brother, is it really necessary to go to such extremes?"
"You didn't even try to save me earlier, and now you're kicking me when I'm down?"
Lu Haotian's face remained expressionless, and he said in a cold voice, "If I really wanted to kick you while you're down, it wouldn't be me standing in your way, but those phoenixes."
When Xiao Zhenyu heard Lu Haotian say that, he didn't feel relieved at all; instead, he became anxious.
His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and he asked warily, "What do you want me to do?"
Lu Haotian didn't waste any words and asked directly, "I want to know about Xinyue."
They also wanted to know the cause of Lu Dehai and Bai Sisi's deaths.
Xiao Zhenyu's expression was complicated when he heard Lu Haotian's question. He was about to speak when Lu Haotian interrupted him.
Lu Haotian: "I hope you think it through before you speak, and it would be best if you answered me truthfully, otherwise I might do something irrational at any time."
Although Lu Haotian didn't show any expression when he said this, Xiao Zhenyu knew he was serious.
He immediately swallowed back the lie he was about to blurt out.
"I can't tell you about the New Moon, otherwise I'll be backfired by their contract."
As for the cause of your parents' death... it was nothing more than preventing New Moon from carrying out the demon census.
The fairies of the crescent moon were furious.
They vented all their anger on your parents.
Now that you know the reason, can I leave now?
Lu Haotian remained standing in front of him, without moving.
Xiao Zhenyu became anxious at that point.
"I've told you everything I can say, why are you still stopping me?"
Lu Haotian remained expressionless and said in a cold voice, "I already know everything you said before. What I want to hear is what I don't know."
As a human being, how do you know what the new moon is thinking?
What is your connection to the new moon?
The flamingo sent me here to find a clue—it was you, wasn't it?
We made a deal with him to get this clue.
Even if he only meant well for his own fairy cubs, he wouldn't give me such a perfunctory clue.
So, what else do you know?
If you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, I can guarantee you won't leave this island alive.
Xiao Zhenyu could tell that Lu Haotian was serious, and his expression immediately darkened. He stopped pretending to be gentle.
His expression was grim and terrifying; he lowered his voice and mocked, "You think you can take me on?"
You are underestimating these families of sorcerers, and you are underestimating me too much.
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a golden talisman and was about to throw it at Lu Haotian.
Lu Haotian said without batting an eye, "The snakeskin you had just held was fake."
Xiao Zhenyu spoke in classical Chinese, and his hands immediately stopped moving.
She looked at Lu Haotian in disbelief.
Ignoring his astonishment, Lu Haotian continued, "Whether what you have is fake or not, even what the Tao siblings have is fake."
Even if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't be able to trick them into giving you snakeskin later.
