Chapter 278: Destroying the bridge after crossing it?
"Do you know how long I have waited for this day? Only his blood and cultivation can save my sister."
Gao Huohuo said nothing, but just kept complaining in his heart: People have been dead for three hundred years, and you tell me he can still be alive now?
Then I thought about it again, that’s not right, Zhong Hanshang should not be even 25 years old, which means he has been dead for more than 20 years.
But based on the experience she has accumulated during the nine years of compulsory education, she can make a firm conclusion.
Wanting to resurrect Zhong Hanshang's mother? That's even more outrageous than a cypress tree blooming or a rooster laying an egg!
Even if they somehow brought him back to life, he would definitely not be the same person he was before.
"Sister Mei, since your sister went through so much trouble to give birth to Zhong Hanshang, she must want him to live well. She definitely doesn't want herself to..."
Before Gao Huohuo could finish his words, he was interrupted by the words of the Succubus Lord.
"What do you know? My sister used all her blood and energy to seal his demonic veins and gave birth to him, but now the human race has raised him to be a sharp weapon to slay demons!"
The Succubus Lord suddenly laughed wildly, and the magic patterns on the walls of the tomb began to beat like blood vessels.
"How ironic! The heir of the Jinghong Sword actually has demonic blood flowing in his veins!"
The sword in Zhong Hanshang's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
He looked down at his shaking hands, and those deliberately forgotten childhood fragments suddenly emerged.
The sect leader and master always gave him complicated looks when he practiced sword, and the sect never had anything related to his background.
"Now, it's time to return it to its rightful owner. Use your precious blood to buy my sister's rebirth!"
After saying this, the Succubus formed seals with his hands, and the ice coffin suddenly shot out nine chains that wrapped around Zhong Hanshang.
"stop!"
Gao Huohuo's cold sword quickly cut through the three chains, but was stopped by a shadow that suddenly appeared.
Her eyes widened in disbelief: "Ying, what do you mean?"
Ying's bone whip wrapped around her wrist and whispered:
"The demon clan's secret resurrection technique requires the sacrifice of a loved one... but it won't take his life."
"Bullshit!" Gao Huohuo suddenly burst out with astonishing spiritual power, causing all the golden bells in his hair to explode, and the bone whip was also shattered into powder.
"Have you asked Zhong Hanshang and his mother for their opinions? No mother would be willing to sacrifice her child's life in exchange for her own survival."
Turning around to look at Zhong Hanshang again, his eyes were dull, as if he had fallen into an illusion, and his face was dazed at the moment.
"Zhong Hanshang!"
Gao Huohuo nailed the cold light sword into the ground, and the spiritual power bursting out from the sword temporarily blocked the magic pattern.
"Do you still remember what you promised your master before coming to the Demon Tribe?"
Zhong Hanshang's empty eyes moved slightly.
"You said you would come back safely with me." She roared at him.
"Why are you pretending to be dead now? Your mother sacrificed her life to keep you alive, is this just to let you wait here to die?!"
The Jinghong Sword suddenly made a clear sound, and the chains were all broken.
Zhong Hanshang's eyes were filled with demonic energy and pure light, and he finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "...Let's go."
Gao Huohuo immediately made a hand gesture, and suddenly a golden light shone brightly.
While throwing out the magic weapon given by the fourth senior brother to hold back the two demon lords, he pulled up Zhong Hanshang with one hand and rushed towards the exit.
"We'll do the family drama some other time! Now get out of here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Huohuo took Zhong Hanshang and flew away on his sword.
Unfortunately, before he had gone far, he sensed a powerful aura approaching. It seemed that the Succubus was chasing him.
No, we have to find a way, otherwise no one can leave today.
"Zhong Hanshang, listen up," she slapped out a jade talisman engraved with the Eight Diagrams, "This is the Breath-Retention Stone that Fourth Senior Brother refined using his own lifeblood. It can hold you for two hours."
The tip of his finger scratched Zhong Hanshang's palm heavily, "I will lead them away, you take this opportunity to find a place to hide first, don't let anyone find you."
After Gao Huohuo finished speaking, without waiting for Zhong Hanshang to react, he directly made a gesture to urge Xiao Lingzi to set up an illusion, and then he flew away in the opposite direction on his sword.
She wasn't sure whether Zhong Hanshang had heard her, but fortunately, the aura of the Succubus Lord behind her did indeed stagnate for a moment before chasing after her, which made her feel a little relieved.
I’ve fooled you for now… but what next?
Although the demon clan's territory is not boundless, for the Demon Lord, it is just a matter of a few breaths.
With her mere Nascent Soul cultivation, even with the help of the Cold Light Sword and Purple Shadow, it was only a matter of time before she was caught up!
Gao Huohuo gritted his teeth and sped up, circling over the Demon Realm for a long time, but the more he flew, the more he felt something was wrong.
When she returned to the underground cave, the aura behind her was still following her like a shadow, with no sign of getting rid of it.
She frowned and casually summoned a purple shadow: "Go and see what's behind it!"
The purple shadow turned into a stream of light and flew out, then returned after a moment, his voice solemn:
"Master, we've been tricked! The one chasing us isn't the Succubus herself, but a puppet clone of hers, imbued with her aura!"
Gao Huohuo's heart sank, and he suddenly looked down at the ground - the original underground cave had long been razed to the ground, leaving no trace.
“Oh no!”
She quickly used her magical powers, but Zhong Hanshang's positioning had been forcibly shut down at some point, and she completely lost the ability to sense it.
"Zhong Hanshang is in danger!"
Without saying a word, she turned her sword and rushed straight towards the Shadow Demon Lord's lair.
But as soon as he arrived, he was blocked outside by a terrifying barrier and couldn't even get through the door.
This bastard Ying wants to destroy the bridge after crossing the river?! Doesn’t he see that she is the kind of weak person who can be bullied?
Gao Huohuo laughed in anger, a cold light flashed in his eyes, the spiritual power in his palms surged, and the cold sword hummed and vibrated.
"You are blind! You dare to block my way?!"
She shouted sternly, the tip of her sword pointed directly at the demon barrier, "If you don't let me go, I will tear your demon cave into ruins today!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already attacked!
"Pah!"
The magic barrier was cracked by the sword energy.
"Bang!"
The demon-suppressing stone statue at the door was smashed into pieces by her sword.
“Boom!”
The entire Demon Palace was shaking under the impact of her spiritual power.
Inside the hall, Shadow Demon Lord's men rushed in in a panic to report:
"Master Demon! If this continues, she's going to smash right into your bedroom!"
The Shadow Demon Lord leaned against the throne, the expression on his face was hard to describe.
Does he dare to stop it?
Not to mention that he and Gao Huohuo had a good personal relationship, one of the conditions that Zhong Hanshang agreed to sacrifice to save his mother was - "Do not harm her in the slightest."
What's more, the Succubus Lord had specifically warned him before that Gao Huohuo had been warned by higher-ups and could not be touched at will.
Although Ying was not sure who was "above", the existence that could make the other four demon lords silent in fear was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.
He rubbed his brows and waved his hands helplessly: "Let her smash it. She will stop when she gets tired."
Anyway, a high-level barrier had been set up in his bedroom a long time ago, and Gao Huohuo couldn't break it with his current cultivation level.
Unless she is really crazy and is determined to break in without caring about her life.
But Gao Huohuo is just that kind of person.
