Chapter 2969
byZhu Lie had been sitting upright in the same place, not moving an inch. Only his dragon might had been pushed to the limit. The many demon kings standing in front of him were all sweating profusely. Those with slightly weaker cultivation bases were even trembling with fear, their complexions pale, as if a huge mountain was pressing on their chests, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Although the battle between Yang Kai and the Blood Demon was over in an extremely short time, if it weren’t for Zhu Lie’s deterrence, the other demon kings wouldn’t have stood by and done nothing like this. After all, everyone was a demon race. They still couldn’t do such a thing as watching someone die without saving them.
In fact, the moment the Blood Demon made a move, several demon kings wanted to come to his aid, but before they could act, they were suppressed in place by Zhu Lie.
This red-haired youth put much more pressure on the demon kings than that human. No one had the confidence to survive under his hands. So, under coercion, they could only wait obediently and secretly pray that they wouldn’t bring trouble upon themselves.
Now that the dust had settled, the Blood Demon was severely injured. Although he was still alive, he was like a walking corpse. This made them even more terrified and their hearts felt cold. They didn’t know what kind of fate awaited them.
“What on earth do you want to do？” Zhu Lie frowned, looking at Yang Kai with a face full of impatience.
First, he came to this Demon Fury City to look for a group of Demon Kings to inquire about news, and then started fighting without a word. If he had killed that Blood Demon, it would have been fine, but instead, he left the other party half-dead, which is simply rather baffling.
“You’ll know in a while.” Yang Kai replied faintly. In his field of vision, Zhu Qing had already flown over, followed by Li Jiao, half a step behind Zhu Qing. It was unknown what kind of flattery he was offering, bowing and scraping, with a sycophantic smile on his face, but he couldn’t get any response from Zhu Qing at all.
When the two of them flew close, Li Jiao quickly came up to greet Yang Kai again, extremely attentive.
“What happened here？” Zhu Qing looked around in confusion for a while, very curious about what exactly had happened here. There seemed to be traces of a battle, but it was very short-lived.
“It’s nothing.” Yang Kai casually perfunctorily replied and looked at the little black dog in her arms and said, “How is the situation？”
“It has improved a little, but it still seems a bit weak.” Zhu Qing reached out and touched the little black dog’s head.
The situation had indeed improved. When Yang Kai left before, the little black dog was still frozen into an ice cube. Although there was still frost remaining on its body surface at this moment, it was obviously much stronger than before.
And at this moment, this fellow seemed to have smelled something extremely delicious, and was looking up at those Demon Kings, drooling from the corner of its mouth, disgustingly so.
Under its gaze, all the Demon Kings became tense as if facing a great enemy, their hands and feet turning cold and their gazes dodging.
“Want to eat？” Yang Kai asked with a smile.
“Woof！” The little black dog immediately perked up and struggled to climb up from Zhu Qing’s embrace.
“Don’t eat random things.” Zhu Qing frowned and scolded it. She had wanted to say something when she saw Ah Wang swallow two demons before, but the topic was changed. Now that she saw it relapse, she immediately knocked on its head.
The little black dog whined wěi qū ly.
Yang Kai reached out and lifted the little black dog out of Zhu Qing’s embrace and said, “Qing’er, if we want to leave here, we might really have to let it eat more.”
“What？” Zhu Qing frowned, not understanding what Yang Kai meant by this.
When she looked up, she saw Yang Kai directly throw the little black dog out, aiming at the shī shén standing Blood Demon.
In mid-air, Ah Wang was full of energy, as if rejuvenated. Its two black eyes shone with terrifying light, and its mouth suddenly split open, opening as wide as a door panel, and it swallowed the Blood Demon whole in one gulp.
“Hiss…”
A sound of inhaling cold air rang out. The numerous Demon Kings stared dumbfoundedly at the little black dog that had suddenly changed, their eyes almost popping out. The terrifying information that had just been awakened by Yang Kai kept churning in their minds, gradually being confirmed by what they saw in front of them. A conjecture that was enough to make their livers and gallbladders burst with fright filled their minds.
“The Ruins of Return！”
The shrill scream of the Succubus Demon was enough to break through the sky. The complexion that had just regained some blood color once again turned deathly pale. As if having lost all her strength, she actually plopped down and sat on the ground.
Although the other Demon Kings were not as bù kān as this, they were clearly also extremely frightened. The panicked emotion spread among the Demon Kings, making each Demon King’s mind unstable and their minds in a state of chaos.
The suddenly appearance of the legendary strange beast that was thought to have been extinct right in front of them made it almost impossible for them to accept. After all, in the history of the Demon Race, the Ruins of Return occupied a significant part. It was an existence representing destruction and devastation. Almost one-third of the entire Demon Realm was destroyed by its demonic mouth, and the current è liè environment of the Demon Realm also had a great deal to do with it.
They just couldn’t figure out no matter what how the Gui Xu could still be alive. Hadn’t it been killed by the Great Demon God? Could it be that the rumor mentioned earlier was true, that the Gui Xu only faked its death to escape, hoping for the day to make a comeback? When that day really came, it would surely go to seek revenge on the Great Demon God, and the current cán pò de mó yù could no longer withstand its zhē teng .
With so many Demon Kings, it was impossible to misidentify the identity of the Gui Xu. Although at first glance the Gui Xu looked very ordinary, when it mutated, its characteristics were extremely obvious.
In other words, this was definitely the Gui Xu, and it was very likely the terrifying existence that had once destroyed the mó yù and fought a life-and-death battle with the Great Demon God.
No wonder, no wonder this human had inquired about all kinds of information about the Gui Xu before.
It turned out that what he said about raising a Gui Xu was actually true. It was ridiculous that everyone thought he was chuī niú before.
At this thought, the complexions of the numerous Demon Kings turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
They seemed to have revealed a lot of information that they shouldn’t have, especially the part about the Gui Xu becoming stronger. That was simply life-threatening intelligence.
For a while, the Demon Kings regretted it very much, especially the Demon King who had revealed this information, and wished he could tear his own mouth.
Just as the numerous Demon Kings were in a daze, the little black dog had already swallowed that Blood Demon in one gulp. Its huge mouth returned to its original state, and it revealed a look of satisfaction. Its belly rose and fell a few times, and the frost covering its body surface actually began to melt at a visible speed. Wisps of cold air overflowed from its body and merged into the nearby void, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet suddenly.
Moreover, under Yang Kai’s careful perception, at the moment of the little black dog’s mutation, its aura seemed to suddenly skyrocket a lot, far exceeding the level of a fifth or sixth-order Monster Beast. After the mutation, it returned to its original state.
In just a dozen breaths, the little black dog had returned to its original state. It was no longer as weak as before. It was full of vitality and its steps were vigorous. It looked at those Demon Kings with a look of longing, making the numerous Demon Kings tremble with fear.
“Huh？” Zhu Qing looked at the little black dog in surprise, as if not expecting that swallowing a Demon King would be of such great help to it.
Yang Kai explained, “This little thing is a strange beast in the Demon Realm. It seems to have a great reputation. There is an unknown space in its stomach that can devour all things, and the things of the Demon Race seem to be able to make it stronger.”
Zhu Qing thought thoughtfully and said, “So it turns out that the Yin Wind it swallowed before was all swallowed into that unknown space by it？”
Yang Kai said, “That should be the case. Moreover, I guess the size of that space has something to do with its strength. Its current strength is insufficient, and the space in its stomach is too small, so it becomes difficult to continue after devouring to a certain extent.”
“It’s really powerful.” Zhu Qing revealed a look of surprise and carefully sized up the little black dog as if she wanted to get to know it anew. The cold demonic energy encountered on the Yin Wind Mountain before was too terrifying. The further they went, the stronger the cold demonic energy became. Even she and Yang Kai couldn’t resist the cold demonic energy, but it could be devoured by the little black dog into the different space, yìng shì leading them to walk an additional thousand zhang. Such ability is enough to make people jīng tàn .
“Do you want to make it stronger, strong enough to lead us to break through to a deep enough place on the Yin Wind Mountain？” Zhu Lie furrowed his brows and asked. Yang Kai’s intention was too obvious. If he couldn’t guess it, he would really be a fool.
“That’s right.” Yang Kai nodded and said, “Wang is our only chance at present. As long as it is strong enough and the space in its stomach is large enough, it will definitely be able to lead us out.”
Zhu Lie thought for a while and then agreed, “This is indeed a chance. However… before that, it needs a lot of food.” As he spoke, he looked at those Demon Kings.
Many Demon Kings had bitter expressions on their faces. They had the intention to resist but were powerless. Their hearts were extremely biē qū .
The succubus sat on the ground in a trance, seemingly not expecting that this would be her fate. She was desperately considering how to survive. Without the blood demon, she could have given it a try at ****. But the previous battle had left her in a sorry state. It would take at least a couple of months to recover from her injuries. Where did she have that much time to recuperate at the moment？
Yang Kai said, “Of course, this is just my guess. I don’t know if it will work. To confirm it, we have to do an experiment.”
“How do you want to experiment？” Zhu Qing asked.
Yang Kai smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed the little black dog, directly picking it up. The little black dog looked completely confused and had no idea what kind of treatment awaited it next.
“Watch these guys well. Don’t let any of them escape.” Yang Kai gave an order, and with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared from the spot.
Zhu Lie looked in the direction of Yin Feng Mountain thoughtfully.
After a moment, he shōu huí his gaze and sat firmly like a mountain.
The succubus over there was stunned for a while. She had the intention to escape but didn’t have the courage. After thinking about it, she could only stand up and walk towards the other demon kings.
She carefully glanced at Zhu Lie and, seeing that he didn’t mean to stop her, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The many demon kings gathered together, their spiritual thoughts surging and communicating. Obviously, they were discussing a way to save their lives. Occasionally, a faint killing intent would leak out, clearly indicating that they wanted to take a chance and fight.
After all, no matter what, they were not weaklings. If they really fought to the death, there might still be a chance for them to survive, rather than staying here and being used as the nourishment for the growth of the Ruins of Return.
The Demon Fury City had stood in the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm for hundreds of thousands of years and had constant frictions with the Human Imperial City, but it had never encountered such a crisis situation before.
This sudden powerhouse was simply not something they could contend with.
