Chapter 252: I Believe Your Ghost, You Old Bastard

The terrifying flames burned fiercely, and a large amount of black smoke shot straight into the sky.

Where there were once flowers everywhere, a huge deep pit now appeared.

Black ash drifted in the air, and the ground was covered with charred butterfly Exotic Beasts.

White Souls floated in the air.

A demon whose entire body flickered with green flames appeared.

"Hahaha, although I don't know why I appeared in this Secret Realm."

"But who told you all to be so unlucky."

"Become the sacrifice for me, Yasi, after I escaped the seal."

This demon had a pair of bull horns on its head, two pairs of bat wings on its back, and a ferocious skull on each side of its arms.

The skulls also had a pair of huge bull horns.

It possessed a pair of sharp claws like daggers.

Its lower body was covered in long black hair, and it had two feet like bull hooves.

Its tail was thin and long, and the shape of the tip was like a sharp arrow.

The demon took a big breath, and endless white Souls submerged into the demon's mouth.

It began to chew loudly.

"The quality of these Exotic Beast Souls is really poor; they are truly not as high as a human's."

"Sigh, the more I eat, the hungrier I get."

The demon looked at Ye Bai with malicious eyes.

It opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth like a Shark.

It licked its lips with a bright red tongue.

Ye Bai could clearly hear the sound of the demon swallowing its saliva.

"As expected, the scent radiating from a little human lamb is the most delicious."

"Obediently become the sacrifice for Lord Yasi."

"I will cherish you well; such a superior Soul, I really cannot bear to swallow it."

"But I urgently need to restore my strength so that I can completely break the seal and summon more Hell armies to descend into this Secret Realm."

"We will use the Secret Realm as a springboard to infiltrate Blue Star."

"It is filled with weak humans, and their Souls are excellent sacrifices for us."

"As long as I devour enough Souls, I will be able to evolve into a high-level demon and finally become a Demon Monarch."

The demon stared fixedly at Ye Bai with greedy eyes.

Ye Bai felt as if he were a piece of prime fatty meat.

"A Tier 6, Level 1 enemy; this is a bit tricky."

Ye Bai discovered that he was still missing a water-attribute Pet Beast; otherwise, dealing with this kind of fire-attribute Exotic Beast would be somewhat messy.

"Nether Wolf, go."

The Nether Wolf, with its whole body erupting with Purgatory Fire, appeared silently.

When it saw the Nether Wolf appear, a trace of surprise appeared in the Burning Demon's eyes.

"Haha, is my luck turning around now?"

"I actually discovered a Nether Wolf that possesses both Purgatory Fire and Hell fire."

"Your origin is so rich that it truly makes me covetous; become a part of my body."

The Burning Demon opened its hands, and a giant flame sword appeared.

A fire-red arc of light then spread out.

Ye Bai felt a heatwave strike.

The Nether Wolf calmly sprayed streams of scorching flames from its mouth.

The flames blocked the red arc of light.

Just at this moment, a huge figure appeared from behind the Burning Demon, holding the Thunder God Axe.

It raised the Thunder God Axe and slashed toward the Burning Demon.

However, the Burning Demon's speed was simply too fast; it flapped its wings violently and flew straight into the air.

"Hahaha, too slow, too slow."

"I am a brave and battle-hardened demon from Hell, a demon who has truly entered the Hell blood war."

"Your speed is too slow."

"It should be done like this."

The Burning Demon raised its hand high, and endless Black Flame coiled around its palm.

The flames formed a firestorm that connected to the sky.

The Black Flame formed a black pillar of fire reaching to the heavens.

"Die."

The Burning Demon sent the firestorm composed of Hell fire crashing toward Dahui.

Just as it was about to engulf Dahui, Dahui flashed and disappeared from where he stood.

At this moment, the overwhelming firestorm slammed into the spot where Dahui had originally been standing.

"See that? This is my power."

"Human, surrender obediently, and offer your Pet Beast as a sacrifice to this lord."

"I can take you in as my human pet."

The demon Yasi said with extreme arrogance.

What it did not notice was that the Sunflower Emperor had already split off a large number of Clones, which were spread out all around the demon Yasi.

Now the Sunflower Emperor was waiting for an opportunity.

"As a demon, why don't you stay in Hell properly instead of coming here?"

"If you're ugly, don't come out and scare people."

"Come to think of it, my collection is still missing a demon corpse; I think you are very suitable."

Ye Bai mocked him to his heart's content. "You!"

The Burning Demon was trembling all over with rage at this moment.

"I've changed my mind; originally, I just wanted to leave your corpse intact."

"But now, I will swallow you into my belly and merge you with myself."

Blazing Black Flame erupted from the Burning Demon's entire body.

It charged toward the ground like a massive fire meteor.

As the Burning Demon approached, Ye Bai felt rolling heat waves rushing toward him.

"Whoosh, Burning Demon, are you trying to perish together with me?"

"Unfortunately, I won't give you that chance."

"Holy Light Shine."

After the Sunflower Emperor heard the command, countless light orbs as bright as day appeared.

The moment the Burning Demon saw the light orbs, black tears appeared in its eyes.

Countless black vapors emanated from the Burning Demon's body.

It let out a sharp, ear-piercing scream.

The skill Holy Light Shine was like having concentrated sulfuric acid splashed onto the Burning Demon's body.

"Damnable human."

"To actually set an ambush."

"Hmph, I just broke the seal, and my strength has dropped significantly."

"You just wait for me; after I devour a large number of Souls and recover my original strength,"

"I will come back to torture and kill you."

The Burning Demon flapped its wings and fled in the direction of the sky.

"Dahui!"

Dahui raised the Thunder God Axe.

He aimed his eyes at the position where the Burning Demon was fleeing, and endless Thunder Light coiled around the Thunder God Axe.

The Burning Demon suddenly felt a prickling sensation on its back; it felt a great terror reviving behind it.

Death, it was going to die.

Fast, run fast!

At this moment, the Burning Demon wished it could grow two more pairs of wings to help itself leave this place.

A bolt of Thunder Light shot out, and the sound of intense friction came from the air.

A baring-fangs-and-brandishing-claws thunder dragon charged toward the Burning Demon.

The Burning Demon only felt a pain in its chest; it looked down and saw an axe piercing through its chest.

It spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Immediately, the Burning Demon fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

Strike while the iron is hot.

"Dahui, let's go, chase after the Burning Demon."

A demon's body has extremely high research value; its blood and heart can be used to make Magic Potion.

The spine and Lijua can be used to craft weapons.

Even that pair of bat-like wings has great utility.

When Ye Bai caught up to the Burning Demon, he found that the Thunder God Axe had already been tossed aside.

A Hell fire several tens of meters tall was tightly gripping the Burning Demon with its hand.

The Burning Demon was being held by the neck by the Hell fire, just like a little chick.

"Yo, there's a fish that slipped through the net?"

Zhang Dashan looked down at Ye Bai from a high vantage point, wanting to avoid any accidents.

He intended to eliminate everyone who had entered the Five Elements Secret Realm.

Zhang Dashan would not leave any danger behind for Su Qingxian.

"Remember, kid, every debt has a debtor, every wrong has a perpetrator; the one who kills you is me, Zhang Dashan."

"Do it, Hellfire."

Hellfire suddenly clenched its fist, and the burning demon let out a miserable shriek as it was crushed into a pulp.

What a waste, what a terrible waste.

Ye Bai watched with a pained heart as the demon corpse was ruined by Zhang Dashan.

Following that, Hellfire lit up its massive fist, which was wreathed in green flames, and smashed it fiercely downward.

At this moment, if Ye Bai were to shout "Yamero," Hellfire would likely vaporize him with a single punch.

Ye Bai's eyes were seen spinning rapidly, forming complex patterns.

Blood seeped from his eyes as he unleashed Space Transfer.

Bang.

Hellfire's fist smashed down heavily.

The massive shockwave uprooted the surrounding trees.

"He escaped?"

Zhang Dashan was slightly displeased.

"Hellfire, chase after him!"

At this very moment, Ye Bai appeared beneath a large tree.

He shouted loudly toward Zhang Dashan.

"Grandmaster, it's me, I am Ye Bai."

Hellfire's fist stopped abruptly, coming to a halt not far from Ye Bai.

The heatwave from its fist was almost enough to set Ye Bai's hair on fire.

Zhang Dashan looked Ye Bai up and down, a trace of embarrassment appearing on his face.

Although he was Ye Bai's grandmaster, he had only seen Ye Bai back and forth a total of two times.

Looking at this slightly familiar face, he confirmed that this was indeed his grand-disciple Ye Bai.

This was awkward; not recognizing his own grand-disciple and nearly killing him on the spot—if this got out, it would become a joke.

Zhang Dashan inwardly lamented his misfortune.

If Ye Bai were injured, the two women at home would kill him.

"Ahem, Ye Bai, just now your grandmaster was merely testing your strength."

"As expected, you have grown quite a lot."

"In fact, I recognized you a long time ago."

"Otherwise, how could you have dodged Hellfire's punch?"

Zhang Dashan racked his brains to smooth things over.

I don't believe a word of your nonsense, you old geezer.
