The owner of the pair of purple eyes raised the corners of his mouth into an extremely weird arc under the dull gaze of the Lord of Harpas.
A strong sense of crisis enveloped the heart of Harpas City Lord. He knew that the most important thing he should do now was to retreat, but he couldn't pull out the magic knife in his hand - how could a magician compete with a warrior in strength. But Harpas City Lord was reluctant to let go of the Burning Desire in his hand. For some reason, he just couldn't let go of the magic knife that was shining with a bewitching light. The reluctance at that moment almost caused a fatal outcome. Harpas City Lord only felt a pain in his waist. Even though he used the petrification skin care magic at that moment, something sharp still broke through his hard petrified skin, cut into his flesh, and almost pulled out his intestines!
The danger of death finally made Harpas Lord break free from Burning Desire's control. He let go of the fatal magic knife and flipped it to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack like a rolling ball of flesh. He had never felt death so close before. In order to save his life, Harpas Lord lay on the ground without even bothering to stand up. He began to chant magic spells, and countless ground spikes emerged from the ground one after another, attacking all directions indiscriminately.
It must be said that this action did save the life of the Harpas City Lord. The attacker tutted his tongue to express his dissatisfaction. He threw the flesh and blood in his hand aside, picked up the unconscious black-haired young man with one hand, and jumped into the air with the magic knife in the other hand. A pair of black bat wings broke through the shirt and flapped several times in the air, making the man taller.
When the Lord of Harpas got up from the ground with a gloomy face, he saw the bloody hole in his stomach and gasped in pain. He raised his head angrily, but he was inevitably stunned when he saw the figure in the air. Not only him, but almost all the demons stared at the figure in disbelief. Just now, a dwarf turned into... a demon?
The huge bat wings flapped behind him, two curved horns appeared from the parted black hair, and a pair of vertical purple eyes sparkled on his handsome face. No matter from which angle you look at it, Xiu in the air is an out-and-out demon. The demon held his belongings and shook off the bloodstains on the magic knife. Xiu looked at his arm. It was no longer the dwarf's slender and thin hand like a child. The beautifully shaped muscles were slightly arched, and the power contained in it made him feel satisfied. The wound on his abdomen did not hurt that badly. Instead, it was like a catalyst that made him feel more excited. Now he can escape from the encirclement of these demons, but... he is unwilling to give up.
Unwilling, unwilling, unwilling——
Fen Yu trembled slightly and hummed inaudibly.
If you're not willing, just do it.
Xiu stared at the Lord of Harpas City below and narrowed his purple eyes slightly.
Dan looked at the slender figure with interest. He hadn't met a creature that interested him so much in a long time. But Lord Harpas didn't think so at all. What if he could become a demon? What if he was a dwarf? He just wanted to tear the corpse of Xiu who had taken away a piece of his flesh into pieces!
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!!!"
Under the roar of Lord Harpas, the demons were about to take action, but at this moment Dan spoke lightly, his voice was not loud but every demon present could hear it clearly.
"Oh my, you really don't know the rules. Didn't you see that demon is 'challenging' the city lord?"
The demons stopped and looked at each other, and the Harpas City Lord was so angry that his face turned green. The demons are the law of the jungle and value personal strength, so in the 72 cities, the city lord must be the strongest demon in the area - as long as you are the strongest, the demons in the area will spontaneously support you. If you want to become a city lord, it's very simple, just "challenge" the city lord, as long as you defeat the current city lord in front of 20 high-level demons, you will be the new city lord. It sounds unfair to the current city lord, but the incumbent city lord has the right to refuse three times in a month, and as long as he defeats the challenging demon once, he doesn't have to accept any challenges for that month. The most important thing is that the city lord can seriously injure or even kill the challenger, but the challenger cannot kill the city lord. No matter what, the challenge is sacred to the demons, and can only be a one-on-one duel, and no one can interfere.
There were exactly 25 high-level demons at the scene. The Harpas City Lord had already refused three challenges this month because he wanted to concentrate on his advancement, so this time he had to accept Xiu's "challenge". Xiu didn't know the rules, but after seeing the actions of the other demons, he was not stupid enough to refute, but looked at Dan meaningfully. Dan noticed Xiu's gaze and said with a smile: "You can put your baby down, no one will touch him during the challenge."
The Harpas City Lord took a deep breath and suppressed his rage. He would settle the account with the damned merchant after he dealt with the ignorant demon. While Xiu was not paying attention, the Harpas City Lord took out a magic scroll from his arms. This was a life-saving scroll that he had bought from somewhere else at a high price.
Xiu placed Du Ze on a high rock and treated his wounds briefly. The other demons did not stop him. At this moment, the sound of Harpas City Lord chanting magic spells came from behind. Xiu no longer hesitated, turned around and jumped off the rock, leaning forward and rushing towards Harpas City Lord.
Seeing Xiu almost in front of him in an instant, Harpas City Lord decisively triggered the magic scroll in his hand. Transparent aura appeared from all around Harpas City Lord, pushing outwards. Xiu jumped into the air, trying to avoid the aura. However, the aura changed its direction almost at the same time, passing through Xiu unexpectedly, not causing him much damage, but pushing him far away.
By the time Xiu got rid of the influence of magic, the Lord of Harpas had already chanted the last spell: "-- Sanction of the Earth!"
The ground began to tremble, and countless lumps of earth rose up. They gathered around the Lord of Harpas. More and more stones gathered together, and finally they formed a stone giant that blocked out the sky and the sun. Xiu stood in front of the stone giant, and was only the size of its foot.
The demons were a little agitated, staring at the huge stone giant with burning eyes, full of pursuit and admiration for power. The stone giant looked at Xiu, who was as tiny as an ant to it, and raised his foot and stepped down hard - although its body was huge, its movements were unexpectedly agile.
Xiu's purple eyes became brighter and brighter, and his blood was boiling because of the fight. He did not avoid the foot that was pressing down, but flapped his wings behind him and raised his sword to face it head-on. The sharp magic sword easily cut the stone giant's foot in half. Xiu drilled out from the cut surface and faced the stone giant's huge fist. Xiu moved sideways for a distance and cut off the stone giant's hand at the wrist with his backhand.
"……?"
Xiu did not move forward, but stepped back a distance. Opposite him, the stone giant was intact. The cut parts had been completely reassembled by the stones. Its terrifying recovery ability was as if Xiu had not caused any damage to it at all. The Lord of Harpas laughed loudly from the stone giant: "Hahahahahahaha! You can't defeat me! In front of my magic, you are just an ant! Go to hell!!!"
The stone giant swung his hands, trying to swat Xiu to death like slapping a mosquito. Xiu dodged quickly, but no matter how he attacked, the damaged parts would be restored. Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. At this time, it would be the most correct to attack the magician among the stone giants, but the stone giant in front of him was too big, and he had no idea where the Lord of Harpas was hiding.
If I could destroy the stone giant in front of me with one move...
Xiu dodged the stone giant's attack while thinking about a solution. His current body was very powerful, stronger than any of his previous forms, but he was unfamiliar with it. He actively awakened this bloodline, and there was some terrifying energy stirring in his body, but he had no idea how to stimulate it to accomplish what he wanted to do.
If we don't find a way to destroy the stone giant in one fell swoop, he will be the first to fall if we keep wasting time like this.
Before Xiu became impatient, Harpas City Lord had already begun to get impatient. The Harpas City Lord in the stone giant pressed his aching abdomen, and when he saw the demon outside that he couldn't catch, his eyes turned red with hatred. His red eyes moved to the distant rock, where the damn demon had just placed the human...
Xiu once again cut off the giant hand that the stone giant smashed down, but the stone giant still stretched out his other hand to try to grab Xiu. Xiu easily dodged it, and then suddenly felt something was wrong - with the stone giant's recovery speed, the other hand should have recovered by now, so why didn't it attack him?
Xiu thought of the trajectory of the Stone Giant's attack, and his face finally changed. At this time, the Lord of Harpas burst into laughter, and while attacking, he maliciously guided: "Hahahaha - go say goodbye to your human friend!"
Xiu ignored the fist that was hammering at him and turned his head to look back. In his sight, the stone giant's detached giant hand was only a split second away from hitting the rock where Du Ze was standing - with its speed and size, there was no doubt that Du Ze and the rock would be crushed into pieces.
A moment, just a moment, a moment that he could never catch up with.
Time seemed to have been paused, and space was dyed black and white. In this frozen time and space, only the sound of heartbeat was amplified countless times.
That person - will die?
My heart suddenly contracted and screamed in pain. The pain forced my brain to keep finding excuses to comfort the heart that was squeezing it so hard.
He will not die, he can be resurrected, he...
He will die.
When we first met, the man said: He can be resurrected, but he will also die.
He never lied to him.
He will die.
——But I won’t allow it.
So destroy it, and destroy everything that is an eyesore.
Puff, clear.
The beating heart pumped blood back to the whole body, and the bright red liquid seemed to break through some restrictions and became boiling, bringing unparalleled power.
“Sizzle——”
The huge light that burst out in an instant stung the eyes of all the demons. The purple-gold lightning tore through the void, and the terrifying destructive energy instantly destroyed the stone giant's hands without a trace. The most beautiful lightning had disappeared, and all the demons stared at the area where the stone hand disappeared. If it weren't for the tiny purple arcs jumping in the air, they would almost doubt whether they were dreaming.
Dan finally couldn't hold back his expression of watching a show anymore. He looked at the area where the arc jumped in disbelief: This was clearly, clearly the legendary—
Dan shifted his gaze to the demon who was most likely the instigator. Not only him, but almost all the demons cast their eyes on Xiu. When they saw the occasional flash of lightning on Xiu's fingertips, their breathing became rapid, and their eyes seemed to be glued to Xiu and refused to leave, and they were completely immersed in a fanatical worship.
What a powerful and beautiful demon——
If it wasn't for the challenge of not allowing others to intervene, those demons who valued power above all else would have knelt before Xiu and applied to become his followers.
Xiu withdrew his gaze from Du Ze and looked down at the tiny electric current on his fingertips. The purple arc rubbed his hand affectionately. He curled his lips and smiled.
Why haven't we discovered it? This power is so simple and pure.
They are just interpreting one word: destruction, or in other words, ruin.
Xiu raised his head, his long black hair fell back, revealing a pair of gorgeous purple eyes. The purple electric light seemed to be gathered in his eyes, and there was a faint purple light flowing, which was extremely bright. He looked at the stiff stone giant, and the arc of his mouth became bigger and bigger.
Then destroy it——
“Pah—”
A tiny electric current flashed through the air, and then like a domino, a chain reaction was set off. A huge electrical grid enveloped the stone giant, ruthlessly cutting and destroying it, tearing its prey apart bit by bit.
Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy——
In a prosperous city far to the east, a demon wearing a pair of glasses was about to write something when he suddenly froze. After confirming that the movement of the thunder element was not an illusion, he stood up suddenly and almost overturned the table and chairs: "...Lord Baal?"
…
When the stone giant was melted to the end, the bloody ball of flesh that fell from the sky was the arrogant Harpas City Lord. He looked very ferocious. Because Xiu was not familiar with the control of lightning, half of Harpas City Lord's body was burnt by electricity, and other parts also had some burn marks. With his body, he looked like a roasted pig used by a rookie chef for training.
The outcome was decided, and the demons were about to get excited for the more powerful new city lord, when they saw Xiu take a step forward and put his magic knife against the throat of the former Harpas city lord, almost sighing: "I finally pulled you out."
The Lord of Harpas looked at Xiu above him in horror, his voice trembling: "You, you, you can't kill me - according to the rules, you can't -"
The Lord of Harpas stared with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, and he tried desperately to speak, but nothing came out. There was a knife stuck in his throat, and the holder of the knife bent down and said to him, "Give it back to me."
What... can I give you...?
This was a question that the Lord of Harpas City never figured out until his death. The huge body fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then became motionless. The demons were all in a state of shock. They stared in a daze as Xiu pulled out the magic knife. A large amount of blood spurted out, sticking to the magic knife and splashing onto the corners of Xiu's slightly curved mouth.
He had to take back what was his.
The red light on the silver-colored blade became brighter and brighter, as if it had been filled with blood and desire.
——Yes, they are all yours, so take them all back.
In full view of the crowd, Xiu cut open the body. He seemed to want to find the esophagus and stomach of the body, but he was repeatedly frustrated by the overly fat body, so he began to dismember the body bit by bit. All the demons watched this bloody scene in silence. Even though the demons were cruel by nature, few could do this.
He was mine, all of it—mine.
Xiu finally found the stomach along the small intestine, but unfortunately the part above the duodenum was affected by lightning and became a mess with the surrounding blood and flesh. This realization made Xiu a little unhappy. He destroyed the body and raised his head. In the red vision, Dan's figure was particularly clear.
Dan Zaixiu knew something was wrong the moment he looked over. He smiled ingratiatingly: "Hey, I was just helping you--"
"Give it back to me." Xiu just said.
Dan knew that Xiu was referring to the previous clothes, but he had not studied the clothes that could automatically restore themselves thoroughly, so he was still reluctant to give them up. At the moment when Dan hesitated, he caught a glimpse of a flash of lightning on Xiu's fingertips.
"I'll give it back, I'll give it back!"
Xiu caught the wool vest. The familiar smell made the red light in his eyes fade a little. When he looked again, Dan had already escaped to who knows where. The demons around him were silent. Xiu flapped his wings and returned to the top of the rock.
Du Ze was still unconscious, so he couldn't see the demons beside him looking at him with extremely complicated eyes. The red in Xiu's eyes hadn't completely faded, and he seemed to be a little eager to do something to prove that he had completely monopolized the person in front of him.
Fen Yu murmured softly: Killing him is also a kind of exclusivity.
Xiu stretched out his bloody hand and placed it on the black-haired young man's throat. With Du Ze's breathing, the slightly raised Adam's apple trembled, which was the arc of life.
As long as you apply force, this arc will stop.
The red light on the burning desire became brighter and brighter, as if it was expecting something.
The next moment, Xiu's fingers went around Du Ze's neck, and his fingertips felt the familiar temperature and touch, and stroked it gently.
He didn't betray me, the demon thought with satisfaction, he is mine.
The red light in his purple eyes finally faded away, he picked up Du Ze, and flew away in front of the demons.
***
After escaping, Dan slapped his forehead with the book in his hand and exhaled: "It's terrible."
Although he said this, the man in green showed no fear. When he put down his hand, he found blood on the cover of the book. Dan wiped his forehead with his hand, and there was another blood stain: his forehead was cut without him noticing it.
Dan looked at the bloodstains and began to laugh uncontrollably: "This is so interesting. Should I say that he is worthy of being related to that adult by blood? I haven't seen that adult's Thunder of Destruction for a long time." He wiped the cut on his face with his hand, and it disappeared instantly: "If I wasn't restricted, I really want to fight him, but it's also fun to continue watching as a bystander..."
"I really like this world, so I definitely don't want to go to the boring God Realm."
