Chapter 64: Tree Demon God Busong: Wait, my house was stolen? (!!!)

~16 min read 3,019 words

"Finally, we've come to the Demon Race."

Watching the two demons walking toward them, Ye Ling felt a bit restless.

These ones coming over must have been sent by those Demon Gods, though it was unclear why such weaklings were sent.

However, Ye Ling could be certain that they had definitely experienced this main battlefield.

In that case, Ye Ling could obtain corresponding information from them.

"Hmph, Fourth Rank demons, you sure are lucky."

"This Busong really doesn't take me seriously; if a demon above the Seventh Rank had come, you wouldn't be able to stop it no matter what," Leng Xiao on the side snorted coldly, a look of displeasure appearing in the depths of her eyes.

Ye Ling did not answer, but Cai'er on the side could not sit still.

In her view, Ye Ling was her savior, and she must help him. Now, this Demon Princess named Leng Xiao actually dared to threaten her savior?

Without any thought of being gentle to the fair sex, she held her dagger horizontally against Leng Xiao's waist and said coldly: "If you dare to say one more word, although I cannot kill you directly, you will definitely not have an easy time."

Hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Leng Xiao's eyes, but in the end, she said nothing.

She did not want to die; the blood and pride of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon made it impossible for her to beg for her life, but she truly did not want to die.

She could still trade barbs with Ye Ling because she knew Ye Ling understood the bigger picture; he didn't mind her saying a few words, and if the situation wasn't urgent, he could even chat with her to help her relax.

But this little girl in front of her was different. Just now, if it hadn't been for that gentle voice from somewhere on Ye Ling that realized she was bluffing and told them not to use their trump cards, the killing intent on this little girl would likely have broken her defenses easily.

Without answering, she could only look at Cai'er coldly, then turned her head to look at the demons in front of her with an icy expression. In her current state, she could only choose to bully those on her own side, but these two demons had no intention of showing respect; as if their faith had shattered, they looked at the three of them coldly and roared: "In the hinterland of the Demon Race camp, there are actually three humans invading!"

"Humans are truly insidious and cunning. Knowing that our great Demon Princess is here, you dare to come and invade. Although I don't know where the Princess is, your actions deserve death!"

Then, the two Fourth Rank demons slowly stepped forward, their originally ferocious eyes gradually turning scarlet, flashing with a strange, extremely violent brilliance.

Hearing this, Ye Ling was surprised.

He looked at Leng Xiao beside him and unexpectedly poked her pretty face, earning a glare from her.

"The feel is right, not an illusion. It seems you, this Demon Princess, aren't doing so well," Ye Ling teased.

Leng Xiao was so angry she gritted her teeth.

"But whether you have status among them doesn't matter, as long as you have status above."

"However, I must first know what the situation is above."

Ye Ling said softly, then turned his head to provoke them: "Invading? This is the land of Exorcist Pass; you are the invaders."

"But I suppose the Demon Race really isn't much. Protecting the Princess is left to mere Fourth Rank demons. I imagine you aren't here to protect the Princess, but because the demons above were defeated and you're looking for a chance to flee? What, are you not afraid of the Demon God's erasure?"

Among the Demon Race, there are few races with great wisdom at the Fourth Rank, basically just the Sun, Moon, and Star ancestors, but they are very handsome when they take human form. These two, looking like a lump of filth, were clearly not them.

A provocation should be effective on them.

And just as Ye Ling thought, upon hearing this, the two demons roared wildly: "Do you humans even deserve to fight the Demon Race?"

"Under the leadership of Lord Tree Demon God Busong, our Demon Race's campaign against Exorcist Pass is flourishing!"

"You know Long Xingyu, right? That Divine Seal Knight of you humans, hahaha, he has already been severely injured and is on the verge of death. He is now at the end of his rope. Once he dies, no one in Exorcist Pass will be able to stop our Demon Race!"

Hearing the roar of these two, Ye Ling began to ponder. These demons had no brains and might be exaggerating, but one could basically deduce the specific situation.

Teacher Xingyu might really be in trouble, and if he, as a Divine Seal Knight, had an accident, then regardless of whether he held Leng Xiao as a trump card, it would be useless.

Without the protection of the Divine Seal, the Tree Demon God would have countless ways to be immune to his threats.

Then all the efforts they had made would be in vain.

"Thanks for the reminder. Then we must hurry and deliver this great gift of your Princess to your Demon God. I imagine he should like it very much," Ye Ling smiled.

"Princess?" The two demons looked over, their eyes carrying a trace of awe as they looked at Leng Xiao, but after a long moment, it dissipated directly.

As members of the Demon Race, the reverence for the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, especially the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Royal Clan, arises from their bloodline.

If it were before, let alone them being Fourth Rank demons, even Seventh, Eighth, or Ninth Rank demons, upon sensing all of Leng Xiao's power, would have directly admitted defeat, not even daring to speak to her face-to-face.

But seeing Leng Xiao directly captured, their Dao heart shattered. A heavy killing intent appeared in their eyes as they looked at Leng Xiao, then gradually filled them, their pupils turning scarlet and becoming extremely imposing.

"Princess? How could a Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon be captured?"

"It is just that you have been tainted with a bit of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon's aura. That is this human's good fortune; being able to be tainted with a bit of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon's might is this human's blessing!"

Having said that, the two Fourth Rank demons immediately rushed toward the three of them with extreme speed. With their Dao hearts shattered, they didn't think at all about what would happen after killing Leng Xiao; they simply wanted to complete everything through slaughter.

Kill the three of them, eat the three of them!

"Two Fourth Rank demons, not easy to deal with. Cai'er, Senior Canghai, we might have to pay a price next," Ye Ling said in a deep voice, intending to make a move.

These two Fourth Rank demons were only just entering the Fourth Rank.

But he and Cai'er combined were not their match, as both were basically just at the early Third Rank.

But in order not to affect the battle situation, the two of them had to use some trump cards to finish them off.

However, an accident occurred; they didn't need to make a move.

Just then, Leng Xiao, who was tightly bound by Ye Ling and Cai'er, saw a red light emerge in her eyes, and a layer of strange phantom shadows vaguely appeared on her body, constantly roaring in the sky.

That is!

The Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon!

It is the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon of the Moshenhuang Fengxiu!

In the next moment, this demon dragon roared fiercely, instantly rushing in front of the two demons, its Spiritual Power erupting and surging into their bodies in an instant.

On the surface, there were no wounds.

But in the next moment, the two Fourth Rank demons rapidly expanded and exploded with a boom, blood filling the sky, turning into the Void.

Simply and easily, the two Fourth Rank demons died just like that.

Watching this scene, Ye Ling was a bit surprised. Didn't the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove just tell him that Leng Xiao no longer had any trump cards? But what was the situation here?

He turned his head to look at Leng Xiao and said: "Princess, you actually still had a backup plan?"

Leng Xiao was also a bit dumbfounded. She actually still had some great lethal weapons on her, which were left to her by the Moshenhuang Fengxiu. They worked by using the bloodline to draw upon her own power, and by suppressing their bloodlines, they would instantly erupt and kill them.

But Leng Xiao hadn't actually wanted to use them just now. However, listening to their words, Leng Xiao felt offended and even felt killing intent. As a result, the moment the killing intent appeared toward the demons, she instinctively acted, and in the end, those two things died.

Leng Xiao felt regret!

But she could not admit her mistake just because she had killed two low-level demons! "Daring to offend the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, this is their fate," Leng Xiao said coldly, then turned to Ye Ling and said in a cold voice: "If not for you being a Human, they would be your fate."

"Fine, fine, fine." Ye Ling was too lazy to pay attention to Leng Xiao's threat; since the person was already in his hands, what was the harm in humoring her: "Then many thanks to Her Highness the Princess for the grace of not killing me. I will certainly repay this kindness later."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Cai'er, then looked up at the sky, and said: "Cai'er, hurry up and go up. The battle situation is not optimistic. If my teacher has an accident, everything will be troublesome."

"Leng Xiao is the key to the battle situation; we must hurry and send her up." "Okay." Cai'er remained as taciturn as ever.

But this made things miserable for Leng Xiao.

After hearing these words, her pretty face turned pale, and she realized the purpose of Ye Ling and the others.

"You, are you planning to take me over to threaten the Tree Demon God Busong? To end this battle?" Leng Xiao realized it; this was even more terrifying than killing her!

The reacting Leng Xiao had black patterns densely covering her body, though they were intermittent; it seemed this girl was also hesitating.

Seeing this, Ye Ling's gaze paused; he knew what Leng Xiao was about to do.

His gaze was sharp; he actually did not want to force a girl like this, but if it was for the Holy Alliance, for the Humans, then he would do anything!

And Cai'er's speed was faster than his.

Her jade hand lifted slightly, and the Samsara Spiritual Stove exerted its effect, slapping onto Leng Xiao's chest.

That bone-chilling, grim murderous intent made Leng Xiao feel a chill throughout her body, and the surroundings turned gray.

As if pierced in the heart by a sharp needle tip, Leng Xiao let out a miserable scream, her body swayed, and her entire body instantly went limp.

The killing intent came fast and went fast. The gray color receded.

The black patterns on Leng Xiao's body were also immediately suppressed and suddenly dissipated.

Yes, how could the powerful strength of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon compare to a God-Favored One of the same rank with the God-Favored Spiritual Stove fully activated?

"Don't think about playing any little tricks. I am different from Ye Ling. He is a benevolent Knight and won't be too excessive to you in the short term, but he has monstrous killing intent toward you Demon Race."

"You should be glad that you still have a use for us, otherwise you would have been decapitated long ago."

"And now, you cannot die either. Once you have the will to die and commit an act, I guarantee you will be in more pain than if you were dead."

Leng Xiao was greatly alarmed, focusing her mind to look inward, feeling the changes in her body.

She was horrified to discover that there was actually a small, gray yet crystal-clear needle at the location of her heart.

Pressed tightly against her heart, it was clearly condensed from Spiritual Power and carried a terrifying implication; even just one glance, Leng Xiao could perceive the murderous intent it brought.

It made her feel a chill from the bottom of her heart.

Just as the thought of suicide arose in her heart, this small needle immediately exerted force, spreading from the heart to the surroundings, instantly resolving that thought; of course, it also directly left Leng Xiao with weak limbs and extreme pain.

That was the pain brought by Samsara! "I am here to cooperate with you. With my strength, this thing will exist for at most one month. After one month, it will naturally dissolve. Don't think about having him neutralize it; I can guarantee that even if your father, the Moshenhuang Fengxiu, were to arrive in person, he would be unable to neutralize it. By then, you will only be able to die in pain!"

Cai'er said coldly, and Leng Xiao felt despair upon hearing this.

This was truly a case of being unable to live and unable to die. At this moment, she remembered that sentence the Light Elemental Spirit had said to her before.

Yes, she had now completely become a stray dog, completely desperate.

Never expected that this day would come so quickly. "He has quieted down, we can go." Watching Leng Xiao like this, Cai'er turned to look at Ye Ling, her voice not as cold as when facing Leng Xiao, but instead carrying a touch of emotion.

Regarding Ye Ling's kindness, she would not resist or loathe it; on the contrary, she quite liked this kind of kindness.

"Okay, let's go." Ye Ling nodded.

Must hurry and end this.

The battle between the Human and Demon Race armies was not going smoothly.

Although the Humans were not at too much of a disadvantage, they could only barely hold on amidst the Demon Race's constant pressure, and their advantage was almost non-existent.

In this battle, Exorcist Pass might not fall, but as this war continued, it would surely be a true catastrophe for all living things.

The Tree Demon God Busong was no longer timid; he dared to step forward, walking to the front line, looking at Long Xingyu, who was still fighting but already riddled with holes, and said with a mocking smile:

"Long Xingyu, still persisting?"

"If I were you, I would have run away by now, at least to keep myself alive."

Long Xingyu heard this and smiled disdainfully: "Therefore, you are a beast, but I am a Human."

"You can try taking a few more steps forward, and then we'll see who dies first."

The Tree Demon God Busong had not performed any Demon God Pillar amplification, and Long Xingyu was still maintaining a false peak; in this situation, if he wanted to kill the Tree Demon God Busong, as long as the speed was there, he could kill him easily.

Unfortunately, the Tree Demon God Busong did not fall for that.

He just said disdainfully: "Long Xingyu, you can continue to be stubborn. The general trend of the Demon Race is set; only you are still guarding here like a fool."

"Haha, our all-out assault this time, you probably didn't expect any of it, right? If I haven't calculated wrong, your alliance's reinforcement army probably still needs more than a week, or at the latest three to five days, to have a possibility of arriving."

"Before that, you will have died long ago."

"You now? How much longer can you maintain this state?"

"One day? Half a day? Or just an hour or two? As long as you die, and your Exorcist Pass doesn't have enough melee powerhouses to help those Assassins launch sneak attacks, then do you still have a possibility of survival?"

"As long as you die, Exorcist Pass will fall within a day!"

The Tree Demon God Busong mocked.

Hearing this, Long Xingyu was stunned, and all the soldiers on the side, regardless of their profession, even the Hall Master of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Yue, were stunned at this moment, a flicker of palpitation flashing in their eyes.

A sense of despair permeated their hearts.

So, in the end, could they still not hold on?

Just as Long Xingyu was planning to say something, a voice he was extremely familiar with suddenly came from the side: "That may not be so."

The entire field looked toward them.

Many people did not understand what was happening.

But Long Xingyu understood; weren't those his beloved disciple Ye Ling and the Samsara Saintess of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Caier? He was dumbfounded; didn't he ask someone to take them both away earlier? Why were they still here?

If these two were to fall, then these people could almost be said to have died in vain. He wanted to rebuke them, but it was not appropriate now.

"A mere Third Rank, how dare you spout nonsense in front of this Demon God!" The Tree Demon God Busong said disdainfully. At first glance, he only saw Ye Ling and Cai'er, these two Third Ranks; although the two were very special, he did not take them seriously.

But soon... he was stunned.

Because he saw the woman in the red dress between Ye Ling and Cai'er, that appearance, that Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon aura radiating from within.

That? If it wasn't their Princess Leng Xiao, then who could it be? Wasn't it? Tree Demon God Busong was completely stunned.

They were fighting crazily at the front, fighting the Humans like madmen, and it turned out that Princess Leng Xiao, who had followed along to claim credit, had been captured by the Humans? No! They had been backstabbed!
