Demon Palace Fight
The bells rang out, the harps and zithers were played, and Fu Tan watched with his own eyes the person he had been thinking about get out of the sedan chair... and then walk towards him step by step.
A'li supported her as she walked slowly with her face covered by a red veil. From the moment she got off the sedan chair, Fang Jinghe left the team and no one knew where he went.
Fu Tan used to think that the Demon Palace was not very spacious, but now the road that An Luoyi was walking towards him seemed so long. He tried his best to restrain his urge to rush over and waited obediently there.
Finally, "sister" was getting closer and closer to him, and his heartbeat was getting more and more frequent. Fu Tan had never experienced such a helpless feeling before.
Yunti stood in front of Futan for a long time without seeing him react. Finally, A-Li couldn't help but shout, "Hey, wake up!"
When Ah Li spoke, Fu Tan realized that there was someone beside his "sister". To his surprise, it was an acquaintance. "It's you. I didn't expect that a little bird like you would always be by my sister's side."
When Ah Li heard Fu Tan call her a little bird, she immediately yelled, "You are the little bird, you little dust demon!"
After saying this, Ah Li was stunned for a moment. Fu Tan was no longer the Dust Demon she knew... No! He had never been a Dust Demon. The Fu Tan who had dined with the three of them at the same table before was already dead...
A'li's eyes gradually became moist. Fu Tan was not interested in her inexplicable transformation. He devoted himself to his "sister". Seeing that A'li was still holding "An Luoyi's" hand, Fu Tan pushed her away and held her hand himself.
Fu Tan had no relatives or ancestors, so he just set up an empty bronze tripod. On the stairs stood a puppet wearing a tall crown and purple clothes, who seemed to be the host of the wedding.
Fu Tan pulled Yunti up the steps with great strides. He seemed to be impatient and cast a spell. The puppet responded and shouted in a shrill voice: "Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Fu Tan held his "sister's hand and bent down to worship the heaven and earth. Yun Ti cooperated with him without saying a word. His "sister" was so obedient that Fu Tan felt that his happiness was a little unrealistic.
Before the pink bubble spread in Fu Tan's heart, he heard the second sentence of the purple-clothed puppet, "Bow to your parents twice!"
The two turned to the bronze tripod. Fu Tan was about to bend down when he heard "Sister" say, "Wait!"
In that instant, a dangerous light flashed in Fu Tan's eyes, and he suddenly grabbed Yun Ti's wrist! Little did he know that he was extremely nervous, fearing that An Luoyi would regret it on the spot.
Fu Tan called out tentatively, "Sister?"
Yunti frowned and shook off Futan's hand: "You're hurting me."
Unexpectedly, Fu Tan was still holding her wrist tightly, but his strength had been reduced.
Yunti sighed and said, "You don't have to be so paranoid. I just want to say that since you have no parents, why not worship my father and mother instead?"
After hearing this, Fu Tan's tense nerves relaxed: "That's fine."
Yunti took out a phoenix feather and said, "This is my mother's natal phoenix feather. Take this as proof." She placed the phoenix feather in the bronze tripod and returned to Futan.
The purple-robed puppet shouted again: "Bow to the parents!"
The two men stood side by side and bent over the bronze tripod.
One more bow and it was like husband and wife bowing to each other. Fu Tan's heart was filled with excitement. After three bows, the couple's ceremony was completed, and his "sister" would soon be with him forever!
Yunti's eyes were wandering, as if she was always looking for a certain figure. It was the first time she was so panicked. If she bowed again, it would really work. Why hadn't she seen that person yet!
"Husband and wife bow to each other!" As the last shrill voice fell, Fu Tan and Yun Ti stood facing each other.
Fu Tan made a trembling bow towards Yunti and was about to kneel down, but Yunti shouted again, "Wait!"
Fu Tan frowned unhappily as if asking what was wrong?
"I'm sorry Fu Tan, I can't marry you." Yunti shouted loudly.
The nightmare that I had been worrying about for so long finally came to pass. The black energy on Fu Tan's body suddenly surged. He pinched Yun Ti's neck and said, "You are not An Luoyi!"
Yunti was shocked. She didn't expect to be seen through so quickly. The strength of the hand on her neck continued to increase. This was the second time that Fu Tan had strangled her. She almost died last time, but this time she would not sit still and wait for death.
Yunti put his hands together, rubbed his palms together and rotated them twice, and an invisible barrier immediately unfolded!
Fu Tan clearly felt that something was suppressing him, and the strength in his hands loosened a lot. Suddenly, a golden figure fell from the sky. Fang Jinghe knocked Fu Tan's hand away with a sword, and Yunti covered his neck and was able to breathe.
"Huh... luckily we made it." Fang Jinghe let out a breath and said with relief.
Yunti was quite dissatisfied: "If you had been any later, I would have really married him."
Fang Jinghe was shocked: "That won't do!"
It turned out that Fang Jinghe disappeared from the Demon Palace early in the morning and went to the center of the formation to set up the barrier. They came prepared this time. Knowing that Fu Tan was extraordinary, they deliberately found this barrier to suppress the black energy. If they could halve Fu Tan's strength, their chances of winning would be greater!
What Yunti threw into the bronze tripod wasn't Annan's relic, but her own Phoenix Feather, the core switch that activated the barrier! Now let's see how Fu Tan will respond!
Fu Tan was furious and looked irritated: "Today, no one will be left alive!" He released black energy with the intention of devouring all living things within a hundred miles!
Yunti used Jinyunling to throw A Li out of the barrier: "Find a place to hide!"
A Li knew that he could not help, so he hid himself in a hurry.
Yunti and Fang Jinghe summoned their weapons, and a fierce showdown was about to take place in the Demon Palace.
The blood exchange in the cave has come to an end. Xian Youlin's face has regained its rosy complexion, while An Luoyi's face is getting paler and paler.
Looking at Xiaoyi's shaky body, Mu Qianyu's eyes were full of worry.
At the last moment of the blood formation's completion, a dazzling light shone from the acupoint. Bi Tatar and the others withdrew their spiritual energy to block it. The golden light lasted for a long time before dimming. When everyone looked at the stone bed again, only one person and one phoenix were left...
A tiny phoenix cub was lying on the stone bed. Mu Qianyu approached in disbelief. She stretched out her trembling hands to stroke the little phoenix, and the touch felt cold and stiff... "Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi." Mu Qianyu called softly, hoping in her heart that the little phoenix was just pretending to sleep.
"Xiaoyi!" After shouting for a long time, Mu Qianyu finally couldn't help sobbing. The helpless cry kept echoing in the small cave, and even Bitar couldn't help covering his face and crying.
Tears wet the little phoenix's feathers, but it could not respond.
The first thing Xian Youlin saw when he woke up was the petite phoenix. It was so peaceful... lying motionless on the stone bed. When he looked around, he realized that everyone in the cave had sad faces. He immediately realized what was happening and said in disbelief, "Is this... Luo Yi?"
Bi Ta was worried that he wouldn't be able to accept it and would do something stupid, so he said, "An Luoyi risked her life to save you. You must live well and live up to her expectations."
"No! An Luoyi, you fool!" Xian Youlin burst into tears. An Luoyi should have been like a wisp of smoke, free from worries, but she didn't expect that she was the one who bound her... "It's my fault. It's me who bound her freedom and trapped her in the secular world. I should be the one to die!"
Xian Youlin's almost crazy roar annoyed Mu Qianyu. She raised her hand and slapped Xian Youlin. The deafening slap silenced everyone present and made Xian Youlin stunned.
It was Bitar who first regained consciousness and yelled at Mu Qianyu, "What are you doing!"
Mu Qianyu glared at Xian Youlin fiercely: "Of course, wake this loser up!"
"Xiaoyi has lived a planned life since she was a child. In the eyes of the world, she is always a perfect saint. However, in my opinion, she is like a manipulated puppet without any emotion of her own. No matter how hard I try, I can't open her heart. It was your appearance! She began to have ordinary emotions, but now you say it is a kind of bondage. You don't know how much I want to see her happy when she is with you!" Mu Qianyu said a lot in one go. They completed together what she had not completed, but the person in front of her was so stupid!
Mu Qianyu's words struck Xian Youlin's heart directly, and it was deafening to him. Bitar wanted to say something but stopped, sighed, and finally said nothing.
"If you still cherish this hard-earned life, come with me to help Yunti and protect the Three Realms that Xiaoyi cares about!" Since it can't be saved, then protect An Luoyi's last relatives and the Nine Heavens Upper Realm that she cares about most! After saying this, Mu Qianyu left the cave and rushed to the Demon Palace.
Xian Youlin clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the ground. A small hole suddenly appeared. He straightened his clothes and composed himself to return to his usual elegant appearance.
Bi Tatar sighed deeply as he watched his disciple walk away. Love is something that cannot be touched...
The mysterious old man hid in the cave and never spoke. When everyone left, an unfathomable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Cough cough!" Yunti vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, with the two swords "Bai Ying" and "Qing Yan" scattered at his feet.
Fang Jinghe's condition was not in a good condition either. His face was covered in blood and his clothes were torn in many places. Even so, he still stood in front of Yunti at all times.
"Fang Jinghe..." Yunti called out his name weakly.
Fang Jinghe had just blocked Fu Tan's fatal attack for her and was now unconscious on the ground, his life or death unknown.
Yunti shouted again in panic: "Fang Jinghe!"
Even though the two had set up a weakening barrier beforehand, they were still no match for Fu Tan. After dozens of rounds, they were already seriously injured, while Fu Tan only suffered minor injuries...
"Fang Jinghe!!!" Yunti's body trembled as she shouted. For a moment, she was truly afraid...
Fu Tan stood atop the steps, his eyes pure and colorless as he curiously admired the tragic scene. Countless people had called him an emotionless monster, but An Luoyi... was the only one who hadn't considered him a monster. But why? Why? He tried so hard to possess normal human emotions, yet he couldn't be with his sister. He hated it so much! This hatred fueled a surge of black energy that seemed to never dry up!
Yunti shouted over and over again with all her strength. She wanted to crawl to Fang Jinghe's side, but she couldn't move anymore... Tears flowed down her temples and wet her temples.
Fang Jinghe felt like he had fallen deep into the clouds. He was well aware of the dangers lurking outside, yet he couldn't wake up. Until... he heard hysterical screams one after another. It seemed... it was his name being called. Who was it? The voice became clearer and clearer in his mind, and suddenly! Fang Jinghe realized it was the sound of the ladder!
"Ladder! Ladder!" Fang Jinghe kept struggling in his mind. Waves of stabbing pain and a deep feeling of falling pulled him, but he had to wake up no matter what!
Damn it! Damn it! Wake up! The ladder needs me! Fang Jinghe kept "urging" himself, constantly stimulating his brain and even ignoring the severe pain. Finally, with great difficulty, he moved his fingers...
Fang Jinghe opened his eyelids with great difficulty. He gasped for breath like a drowning man in chaos and pain. After he finally recovered, he smiled heartily at the ladder.
"Bastard!" Yunti cried anxiously, clenching his fists and hitting the ground repeatedly. Seeing Fang Jinghe's Hunbulin's look, he couldn't tell whether his tears were of anger or joy.
Fu Tan observed for a long time but still couldn't understand what the two were doing. Gradually, he lost his patience. Since he couldn't learn it, he would just do it his own way!
If you want to keep An Luoyi by your side... you must first get rid of all the people close to her!
Fu Tan said disdainfully, "What a boring show! Let me take you on your way!"
Two streams of black energy with lightning like spirit snakes fell from above the hall. Fang Jinghe blocked Yunti's way again in a flash. Yunti looked terrified as he saw the two streams of black energy were about to hit him!
At the critical moment, Yunti suddenly activated the blood power in his body, and a pair of golden wings tightly protected the two of them. A'li looked closely and found that the owner of these wings was actually from Yunti!
"Cloud Ladder?" Looking at the golden pupils of Cloud Ladder, Fang Jinghe called out hesitantly...
The person in front of him had an indifferent expression. She looked like an ancient god under the heavy celestial aura. Yunti swung left and right! Fu Tan's attack was blasted away by two sword energies!
"I am Minghuang, how dare I be so presumptuous!" The clear voice penetrated the entire Demon Palace.
Just eight words, yet they were powerful without even being angry! Even Fang Jinghe, who had witnessed countless grand scenes, trembled slightly.
Fu Tan's mouth twitched fiercely, with the courage of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. "What Ming Huang? Go to hell!"
As he said this, he started to fight with Yunti, who was the "Ming Huang". Yunti's power increased greatly, but he didn't let Fu Tan get any advantage. Fu Tan's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that the person who was no match for him before would be so difficult to deal with now. Could it be that the "Ming Huang" was really a reincarnation?
The "Bai Ying" sword and the "Qing Yan" sword were wielded with superb skill by "Ming Huang". For a few moments, they even surpassed An Luoyi's swordsmanship, forcing Fu Tan to retreat step by step.
An Luoyi once used this familiar pair of sister swords to guide Fu Tan in his practice, but now they are trying to kill him. Thinking of this, hatred surged up again. If it weren't for so many irrelevant people, he would never have come to this point with his sister!
In an instant, the evil power within Fu Tan intensified! The struggle between him and Yunti was like the struggle between the moon and the sun. Just now, the sun's strong radiance suppressed the moon, but now the moon absorbed the sunlight and countered it!
"Not good. The dark side is stronger than the light!" Fang Jinghe saw the clue.
Ah Li was still confused and said: "What?"
As expected, Ming Huang's power disappeared, and Yunti came back to life in a flash. Facing Fu Tan's endless attacks, she could not resist even if she used her true body.
Fang Jinghe's eyes were wide open with anger, he just hated himself for being useless, he was so seriously injured and still needed A'li to take care of him.
Yunti was no match for Futan and couldn't even maintain her flying spell, falling to the ground. She narrowed her eyes and glared at Futan with resentment in her heart.
Fu Tan walked slowly over and looked down at her. After a long time, he squatted down and looked at Yunti at eye level.
Fang Jinghe felt a strong sense of unease in his heart and forced himself to move forward, but he never expected that Fu Tan didn't even look at him, but swept him away with a wave of his sleeve.
Ah Li quickly ran to Fang Jinghe to check.
Yunti looked over immediately in shock, but was forced to turn his head back when a hand grabbed his chin.
"I hate the way you make this expression on your face. I should have killed you back in Ningchang!" Fu Tan said viciously before giving a sly smile, "But it's not too late now..."
Suddenly, Fu Tan's wrist moved down an inch, and Yunti's slender neck was ruthlessly strangled again!
The hand was like a shackle around her throat. Yunti opened her mouth and tried to breathe but couldn't feel a breath of air. She kept slapping Futan's locked wrist, but the man didn't show any sign of wavering.
For a moment, Yunti was wondering if this person had any special hobby. He loved strangling other people's necks! Especially his own!
"Hehe," Yunti laughed weakly, "You are just... a demon child born and raised, while I am the true bloodline of the Demon Phoenix..."
"Ahhh!" As Yunti roared, purple mist surged out of the entire demon world's veins.
Fang Jinghe and A'li were stunned. Mu Qianyu and Xian Youlin also arrived at this time. After the four of them met, they all looked at the ladder.
The purple mist penetrated Yunti's body like vines. Ah Li asked anxiously, "Master Siming, what does this mean?"
No one had ever seen such a spectacle. The most knowledgeable among them was Mu Qianyu. When she said this, all three people present looked at her.
Mu Qianyu stared at Yunti with a frown, "She wants to absorb the power of the demon world like Futan did. This method is only possible for those with destiny! And Yunti is not only the reincarnation of Minghuang, but also the purest bloodline of the Demon Phoenix clan!"
Even Xiaoyi might find it difficult to do this, Mu Qianyu thought secretly.
"Will there be any danger to one's life?" Fang Jinghe asked nervously.
Mu Qianyu shook her head: "This is her home. There is no danger to her life if she absorbs the power of her home. It's just... with her current physical condition, I'm afraid there will be backlash." She couldn't save Xiaoyi, but she must save the ladder!
While the ladder was absorbing power, Mu Qianyu and Xian Youlin summoned their weapons to fight against Fu Tan. Fang Jinghe took out something from his arms and swallowed it, then also went to meet him.
The three of them cooperated closely and attacked Fu Tan from different directions. Fang Jinghe, wearing a magic weapon, fought Fu Tan head-on. His golden gauze resisted most of the attacks very well. Mu Qianyu took the opportunity to wrap Fu Tan's side with colorful ribbons to restrict his movement. The iron fan in Xian Youlin's hand turned into a sword. Suddenly he appeared behind Fu Tan, and the sword in his hand had already sunk into Fu Tan's body.
Just like that, the sky above the Demon Palace was surrounded on three sides. A faint smile appeared on Fu Tan's pale face, and black blood kept gushing out. He grasped the short blade protruding from his chest with his slender fingers, wrinkled his nose bridge, and with a "bang", the spiritual power exploded, and Xian Youlin and the other two were blown away on the spot!
Fu Tan pulled out the long sword from his body with a "Shua" and threw it hard to the ground. He stepped on the ground, and three magic circles immediately appeared under Mu Qianyu and the others!
"You really pissed me off!"
"Swish!" The magic circle enveloped them in an instant! The three of them simultaneously became hideous, with expressions of pain emerging one by one. They seemed to be trapped in a black glass cover, forcibly draining the spiritual power from their bodies!
At the same time, a faint golden light flew away from Xian Youlin at lightning speed.
