Chapter 396: Chapter 275: Xiao Liu_2
But... why? And what about the others?
Tie Dan tried, wrapping his palm with the Green Evil Sword Fire, attempting to touch the spear handle and pull out the Divine Spear.
But he immediately discovered that every inch of the spear tip pulled out brought waves of scorching heat surging forward, intense flames roaring up. Even from the skeleton, golden blood oozed, causing flesh to begin resurrecting. He quickly realized it was the Sealing Demon Technique and hurriedly thrust the Golden Spear back to firmly seal the bird monster in place.
Such a great demon beast, who knows what kind of prehistoric beast it is, much fiercer than a two-headed boar. Even Tie Dan wasn’t confident in dealing with it. Unexpectedly, it was slain and sealed by the Immortal Palace. It’s another display of skill in a baffling place.
However, this demon tide is becoming more and more intense. Are there already great demon ancestors starting to emerge now?
In an instant, he lost track of Xiao Liu again, but considering the eastern seal was already broken, Tie Dan could only try his luck and continue searching to the northeast.
Fortunately, this path was correct. Tie Dan soon discovered a gathering of demons and, with a precise Heavenly Ruins Ice Collapse, smashed them away, chasing them off before discovering a corpse.
Though the armor on this corpse was mostly torn by demon beasts, it could still be identified as a Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Soldier’s corpse. The fatal wounds were evidently caused by demon beasts.
Strange, is the Immortal Palace fighting with the demon beasts? Weren’t these people here specifically to capture Xiao Liu, ignoring the southern demon beasts? Could it be the demons launched an attack on their own?
However, this direction should be correct, so Tie Dan continued to pursue northeast and soon encountered more corpses torn and devoured by demon beasts.
Not only Immortal Soldiers from the Immortal Palace, but also slain demons, indicating that not long ago, Immortal Palace pursuers and demons fought fiercely in the east. Xiao Liu might have taken the opportunity to escape during the chaos.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a pillar of fire rose into the sky in the distance, blasting through the snow clouds!
They are still fighting!
Good! Luckily, I came! There’s a chance! There’s still a chance to save Xiao Liu!
Tie Dan was overjoyed! He rushed towards the firelight! Indeed, he caught up in time!
Upon reaching the snow-capped peak, there stood a Red-armored God General, with a blackened face, leopard-headed, round-eyed, wielding a Steel Mace, fighting against encircling demons!
Of course, the surrounding little demons were supposedly besieging but couldn’t really handle the Immortal Palace’s Divinity Transformation General. In fact, they were just surrounding without attacking, trying to escape, but they couldn’t and were shredded by the General rushing around.
Meanwhile, the black-faced God General didn’t care about these minor nuisances, continuously spewing golden light into the demon horde, exploding it into skyward flame pillars and gales, blasting hundreds of demon beasts, burning and sweeping them to ashes. Simultaneously, using the same old technique, with Fighting Spirit protection and Gang Fist fully engaged, he swung dozens to hundreds of heavy punches targeting the demon head amidst the horde, relentlessly beating a Cow Demon!
That Cow Demon, also a Divinity Transformation monster, revealed its true form towering over ten feet, clashing left and right, triggering avalanches and mountain splits! Yet, as the God General’s Gang Fist initiated, his entire body emanated fierce fire, raining down with the mace, with punches as heavy as hammers, brutally pounding it! The Cow Demon’s hide was violently torn, splitting open, wailing miserably!
"Aow——!"
Seeing the Cow Demon head almost exploded, unable to withstand further! Yet, another demon roar echoed from the distant mountains! Demon Qi surged skyward, charging forward!
Tie Dan saw from afar, noticing a leopard-headed great demon beast, leaping from the northeast, wielding a pair of Iron Halberds, coming to aid.
But the leopard-head also had a blinded eye, burnt patches on its fur, evidencing a previous defeat, seemingly switching weapons from beyond the mountain to return for a pincer attack against the foe.
Seeing this tug-of-war between the Immortal Palace and demons, Tie Dan wisely opted not to interfere, seizing the opportunity to fly and glide around to the mountain’s rear. Indeed, he discovered another ruin of a human clan’s building, seemingly a Cultivation Family’s residence, converted into a Demon Nest and Demon Cave.
Here, perhaps, was the stronghold where the Cow Demon clashed heads, including the three demon gods with the Fire Bird, nesting and hatching demons, wasn’t it?
Fortunately, the demon horde in the Demon Cave was drawn to the Immortal Palace God Generals, allowing Tie Dan to swiftly charge into the camp, feeling at home as if returning, rushing into the Demon Cave and, indeed, at its center, inside a Taoist Palace-like structure, he found a large demon clan cauldron. Climbing up, he kicked it over! Searching among the overturned flesh and bones!
Xiao Liu! Xiao Liu!
Yet, there was nothing.
Tie Dan knelt amidst the meaty broth, searching for a long time, finding no living soul.
The ground was littered with cooked human flesh, stewed broken bones, and ruptured organs.
Too late, Xiao Liu, already transformed...
"Tie Dan?"
Tie Dan turned his head, only to see a youngster, seated unexpectedly atop the demonic throne behind him, looking at him with surprise.
"What are you searching for? Are you hungry?"
Tie Dan glared at him, devoid of the joy of reunion, without the happiness of seeing again, only glaring at him fiercely.
Looking at that blood-red robe, looking at those intact legs, looking at the glowing Blood God’s Son on his forehead.
Then, he emitted a wolf-like low growl from deep in his throat,
"Who, are you."
The youth in the blood robe sat in the altar laughing,
"Don’t recognize me anymore, huh? Well, since we parted at Guangxia Mountain, it’s been several years since we met.
But I still remember you, Tie Dan.
With just one Divine Master Jade, you managed to self-study and master the Blood God Main Dao Divine Power, truly deserving of the Daoist with a Heavenly Slaughter fate, worthy of admiration."
Tie Dan stuffed the Snow Lotus from his arms into his mouth, slowly standing up, his figure shaking somewhat,
"Did I... did I ever offend you guys..."
The youth was curious,
"What are you saying?"
"Did I fucking offend your Demon Sect!!"
Tie Dan could no longer remain calm, his eyes wide open, the muscles on his face twitching, baring a mouthful of fangs like a wolf,
"Master, Senior Brother Yue, Xiao Liu... why! Why!!
There are so many people who deserve to die in this world! Clearly, so many!
The only ones who treated me as a person! The only ones who were good to me!
Why! Why kill them!
Why kill them and skin them to wear their skins!!!"
The youth was silent for a moment, sighed,
"Tie Dan, I really am Xiao Liu..."
"Don’t use his name!!!"
"Boom!"
Heavenly Ruin Ice Collapse! Daoist energy exploded!
Tie Dan’s sword power erupted! Green ice opened like a cold green lotus! The instant exploding Sword Rain charged forward to kill! The icy frost! The sharp sword Qi! Directly piercing Xiao Liu’s forehead!
Yet, amidst the exploding blood and flesh, blood waves burst forth, seeping and blossoming like a cocoon around Xiao Liu, transforming into countless blood claws, firmly holding every ice sword in place!
"Who the hell are you!!!"
The releasing True Qi seeped from Tie Dan’s pores, instantly freezing into ice, forming a piece of glistening blue scale.
"...it’s Xiao Liu."
Xiao Liu sighed, raising a blood claw finger in the air, writing on the ice shards.
"Lu Xiaoliu."
Tie Dan stared fiercely at him, his eyes glowing with blue flames, Child Sword Light blossoming in his pupils.
"Die."
"Buzz——!"
The sword light pierced through the void, crossing the snow ridges, slicing the distant peak.
In the burst of icy wind, the shrieking Blood Eagle soared into the sky.
In the exploding Sword Rain, the roaring ice dragon chased the clouds.
One eagle, one dragon, chased each other roaring in the icy wind, amidst blood light and Sword Rain, four beats across the sky, mountains splitting, clouds peeling away, engaging in celestial combat!
"Aow!"
On the other side of the mountain, the Leopard Demon and Cow Demon, striving in joint attack, engaging the God General, upon sensing changes occurred behind, immediately roared in fury! Lifting the Double Halberds to block the Steel Mace!
"Moo!"
The Cow Demon telegraphed comprehension, striving to smash the God General aside! Turning back for support! Charging ahead! Crashing into and shattering the ice dragon morphing from Tie Dan’s Dao Power!
"Hah!"
The God General wasn’t blind, noticing the scene teeming with variables! Girded his spirit! Went aggressive in attack! Taking advantage of the Leopard Head focusing on defense constraint! Suddenly, using a feint! With a sway and shake of the Steel Mace, he parted the Double Halberds, shattering the Leopard Demon’s shoulder!
The Leopard Demon, sensing he couldn’t defeat him, quickly went on full defense! But who’d expect that God General to take advantage! Instead of pursuing, he unexpectedly disengaged, pulled away from the entanglement in a big leap backward! Leaping skyward! Tightening fists, building up power! Qi bursting all open!
"Aow!"
The Leopard Demon was startled! Realizing his intent too late! Rushed up to intercept, yet it was already too late!
"Gang! Fist! Hundred!"
One punch! Leopard head shattered!
The Leopard Demon! Dead!
"Moo!!"
The Cow Demon heard the sound in terror! Seeing the God General’s terrifying Gang Power! Frightening Fighting Spirit! Fear struck his heart with dread! Turned around to flee!
"Thunder Flash!!!"
Tie Dan burst forth from the ice! A sword drilled in! Directly through the shattered opening in the cow head smashed by the Steel Mace! Killing! Pierced!
The Cow Demon! Dead!
Meanwhile, Xiaoliu didn’t turn his head! Transforming into a Blood Eagle! Flying towards the north to escape!
But how could he escape!
"Lu Yi——! Remember the kindness of the Qing Palace!!"
The black-faced God General, roared fiercely! Gang Fist Burst!
"Come pay back with your life——!"
Threw the Steel Mace! Penetrating mountains and splitting peaks! Piercing through the clouds! Direct hit on the Blood Eagle!
