Chapter 974 The Demon Lord's Identity?
Sha Xin remained silent, his eyes fixed on E Kui, his expression stern.
"You and I have been trapped in the Accumulation Scale Void Realm for so many years. Your Puppet City and my Xuan City have been entangled for so long. You took the initiative to find me this time, saying you wanted to join hands to enter this Great Ruins Relic. Isn't your purpose the same as mine? Why bring up old grudges and engage in this self-deception!" E Kui sneered and continued.
"Don't compare me to you!" Sha Xin said, one word at a time.
"Sha Xin, for the sake of the past, I'll give you one more piece of advice. Now, the Demon Lord's corpse is right in front of us. If you and I divide it equally, our respective Great Daos can be expected. When the time comes to leave this Accumulation Scale Void Realm prison, won't it be easy? When we reach the Demon Realm or the Immortal Realm, we'll have the great freedom of birds flying in the sky," E Kui said with a hearty laugh.
"Demon Lord..."
Han Li, hearing this, couldn't help but glance again at the crystal coffin floating in the center of the crimson lake.
At this moment, he was almost certain that the Demon corpse in the crystal coffin was the "Sacred Corpse" they were talking about, but why did E Kui call him "Demon Lord"?
With this thought, he couldn't help but think of Crab Daoren, who seemed to have many unclear connections with this Accumulation Scale Void Realm.
Or could it be that this "Demon Lord" was Crab Daoren's master back then?
"Crab Daoren, are you here?" Han Li tried to contact him with his divine sense, but there was no response at all.
Just then, Sha Xin's voice rang out.
"You think I sought you out this time to join forces for the same despicable purpose as you? Then you are sorely mistaken. Let me tell you the truth, I have already found a way to revive my master," Sha Xin said with disdain.
"Heh heh, revive? It seems you are still dreaming... The Demon Lord failed to merge with the Dao and perished long ago, leaving only this corpse. There is no possibility of revival, otherwise, why would this Great Ruins have been silent for so many years? I wish the Demon Lord hadn't died, so I wouldn't have been trapped here for so many years! I advise you not to be stubborn and do pointless things," a mocking look flashed across E Kui's face.
"You heartless wretch, if it weren't for your betrayal, attracting the Demon Master's intervention at the critical moment when the master was merging with the Dao, the master would have definitely succeeded in merging with the Dao and advanced to the Dao Ancestor Realm," Sha Xin scolded angrily.
"Hmph... You don't know anything. Even without the Demon Master's intervention back then, he wouldn't have succeeded," E Kui snorted and said.
"The master was exceptionally talented, how could you know his means and abilities? If it weren't for the master's cultivation back then, you would have long turned into dung in some filthy land. Now you dare to call him Demon Lord, and not respectfully call him master..." Sha Xin rebuked.
"Enough, he taught me cultivation methods back then, simply because he valued my talent and wanted to cultivate a thug for himself. I'm not like you, acting as a pawn and being manipulated, and still enjoying it. However, back then I chose Xuan cultivation, and you chose puppet Dao, it was predestined. You are destined to be the Demon Lord's puppet for life, even after he died for so many years, you can't escape it," E Kui roared, interrupting Sha Xin's reprimand, and said.
"No matter what you say, this time you can forget about obtaining the master's corpse to satisfy your own selfish desires. After I revive him, he will personally settle the score with you for your betrayal," Sha Xin said, suppressing his anger, his expression gradually calming down.
E Kui heard this, glanced at Shi Chuan Kong lying at his feet, and smiled:
"You don't have Demon Royal blood in your hands, I'm afraid you can't even open that crystal coffin, right? I have a genuine prince here, if you are willing to cooperate with me, we can both benefit from it. Otherwise, we can only stare at this treasure mountain in front of us, and no one can think about entering."
"City Lord E is mistaken, although our Saint race's bloodline is rare, it's not just limited to the thirteenth prince. In fact, mine is even purer," a tall figure wearing a hood suddenly flashed out from behind Sha Xin, laughing loudly.
As he spoke, the man took off the hood on his head, revealing a head of white hair. Although his appearance was ordinary, he carried a unique temperament, and his rare deep purple pupils shone with light.
Han Li's eyes swept over him, his brows furrowing slightly, and found that this person was the First Prince, Shi Zhanfeng.
Seeing this, E Kui's expression finally changed, and a ferocious look appeared on his face, gritting his teeth and saying:
"I've advised you with such earnestness, and that's the end of my good will. If you still don't give up, then we'll have to fight to the death."
With one sentence, he stomped his feet fiercely, and the entire underground space shook violently, and the crimson lake rippled greatly.
E Kui's figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. The next moment, he suddenly appeared behind Shi Zhanfeng, reaching out his palm, his five fingers like hooks, grabbing down towards his head.
Shi Zhanfeng's eyes flashed, and he had already noticed something was wrong, but his body's reaction was ultimately a step slower. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
Seeing that his fingertips were about to pierce into his skull, a white bone spear suddenly stabbed out from the side, and with a "clang", it touched E Kui's wrist.
Shi Chuan Kong glanced out of the corner of his eye, and Kun Yu was staring angrily, holding a white bone spear that was shining with starlight all over, and stabbed it horizontally from the side.
He saw that the long shaft of the bone spear was bent like a crescent moon, but it only slightly pushed E Kui's palm away by an inch, barely avoiding Shi Zhanfeng's head. The resulting wind howled past, leaving several conspicuous bloodstains on his handsome face.
Shi Zhanfeng seized this opportunity, his body lowered, his toes stomped on the ground, and his body suddenly rushed forward. His hand quickly drew out a white triangular bone sword, on which the starlight of the star apertures was shining brightly, and suddenly stabbed straight towards E Kui's abdomen.
E Kui retracted his wrist, and while deflecting the bone spear, he suddenly raised his knee, and actually directly used his knee to block the triangular bone sword.
He saw that the dense Xuan apertures on his leg lit up, and a layer of hazy white light protected his outer side like armor, blocking the tip of the bone sword. No matter how the starlight of the star apertures on it flashed wildly, it could not pierce through, and it was difficult to make any progress.
"Looking for death!" E Kui snorted and kicked his leg suddenly.
On the tip of his foot, a solid ball of white light burst open, heading straight for Shi Zhanfeng's face.
The latter saw that the situation was not good, and the long sword in his hand did not retreat but advanced. After a stab, he used the force of the rebound to retreat sharply, directly pulling away a distance of nearly a hundred zhang.
However, although he retreated quickly, he was not as fast as E Kui. Before he could stand firm, he had already been chased up.
E Kui was obviously anxious to get rid of Shi Zhanfeng. At the moment of getting close, his waist suddenly turned, driving the entire spine to move like a dragon going out to sea, making bursts of thunderous sounds.
The muscles on his right arm swelled, and layers of white starlight burst out, and an explosive force surged out from his fist.
Before the fist arrived, Shi Zhanfeng's expression changed drastically. He only felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and the surrounding void seemed to be distorted, so that his body's movement became exceptionally difficult.
Han Li looked at this scene, and his heart was a little horrified. E Kui had clearly suffered such serious injuries before, but after only a short time, he had actually recovered to such an extent?
The power of this blow, even he would not be confident that he could withstand it.
Just then, an accident happened!
With a series of explosions, twelve metal spheres outside E Kui's body simultaneously bloomed with dazzling light.
Immediately afterward, twelve bone armor puppets with sparkling starlight appeared from them, each holding a white bone chain with a curved blade at the tip, and threw them out at the same time.
He saw twelve white bone chains turned into white flying rainbows, crisscrossing through the air, covering them down like a spider web.
Seeing this, the momentum of E Kui's fist that was smashing towards Shi Zhanfeng turned, and he waved it upwards.
A piece of white starlight exploded on his fist, as if opening up a brilliant starry sky, and dazzling streamers rose into the sky, hitting the web woven by the white bone chains.
At this time, all the star apertures on the bone chain web suddenly flashed with light, no longer spewing out starlight, but turned into small vortices, from which gushed out bursts of powerful devouring power.
The starlight streamer that E Kui punched out was actually absorbed like flowing water, completely losing its power.
"This is..." Before he could finish his surprise, the bone chain web had completely enveloped him.
"Form the formation!"
A delicate shout came, and the twelve bone armor puppets pinched the magic formula with one hand, their feet changed their steps, their movements were uniform, and they completed the formation in an instant.
A piece of silver lightning flashed across the bone chain web, turning into a silver thunderball, trapping E Kui in it.
Han Li heard the sound, frowned and looked over, and found that the black-纱 woman whom Sha Xin called "Xiao Zi" was now sitting cross-legged on the ground. In front of her was a black stone formation plate, on which were placed twelve white pieces.
Being able to control twelve puppets at the same time, and make them cast spells and arrange formations in an orderly manner, was not a simple matter in itself. However, the person who did this was not Sha Xin, but her!
Kun Yu, holding a bone spear, stood not far away beside her, guarding her.
While Han Li was surprised, he heard E Kui sneer and say: "With this crude formation, you want to trap me, E Kui?"
After saying that, the Xuan apertures on his body burst into light, and he raised a fist and smashed it at the bone chains and electric web that were covering him.
With a loud "boom"!
The starlight on his fist had just bloomed, and the devouring power on the bone chain reappeared, absorbing most of the power he released.
At the same time, a piece of silver lightning surged out from the electric web and struck E Kui's body, splashing a large amount of sparks.
Where the electric light passed, the bone chain formation was still intact, but on the bodies of the twelve puppets, there was an imperceptible small crack.
And as the "Xiao Zi" who controlled the formation, her body also trembled suddenly, obviously bearing a lot of pressure.
"This formation naturally can't trap you for a lifetime, but it's enough to trap you for a while," Sha Xin glanced at Xiao Zi and said expressionlessly.
After saying that, she winked at Shi Zhanfeng, and the two of them jumped up from the shore one after another, and after a few ups and downs, they had reached the center of the blood lake.
