Chapter 45: Half Enemy, Half Friend

……

The chaos continues.

Although Lv Cheng had already warned the Judgment Court and the military, it was clear that the other side did not take the matter very seriously, or rather, they did not believe that a small Bo City was worth the Black Vatican going to such great lengths, so neither Tang Yue nor Zhankong were able to call in much support.

However, because the Winged Wolf had been instantly killed by a Dragon Blast from Lv Cheng just as it flew into the city, and without a commander to lead them, coupled with the anesthetic effect of the rain, the One-Eyed Magic Wolves and Bone-Stabbing Savage Wolves within the city fell into a daze, their aggression significantly reduced. Of course, if someone were unlucky enough to appear directly in the line of sight of these demons, they would still be dead.

Additionally, because a large number of demons existed within the city, the people from the Magic Association could only do their best to organize the evacuation of the crowd, and then have the military enter the city to clear out the demons.

Meanwhile, Shendu and Ximu wandered through the city, killing the demons they encountered at will and collecting Essence and Remnant Souls.

The main reason why the Demonized Lv Cheng was absolutely no match for the Saint Warrior Lv Cheng was that his soul was too weak, and the Demon Qi could not exert its true power.

Therefore, in order for Emo Lvcheng to be able to contend with Shengdoushi Lvcheng, they had to help Lv Cheng's soul grow.

Otherwise, if that Saint Warrior personality appeared again in the future and discovered that the demon had already escaped from Hell, Shendu could be certain that that guy would absolutely send them all back to Hell at the first opportunity!

"Half of him is our friend, and half is our enemy..." Ximu felt new worries about his future days.

Although Shendu's method was quite good, letting Emo Lvcheng help them deal with the other Shengdoushi Lvcheng, but...

"Either stay in Hell, or use my method; choose for yourselves," Shendu said.

The demon's own power alone was insufficient to resist the power of an Immortal God. If they did not change their approach, even if the demons gained temporary freedom, they would inevitably repeat their previous failures.

If they went back in this time, they would likely never come out again.

"But, that Emo Lvcheng, I don't feel like he's particularly like a demon either," Ximu said.

"Would he be willing to rule the human world with us?"

"I don't know." Shendu shook his head.

"His situation is a bit special. That Shengdoushi Lvcheng is Yang-extreme-giving-birth-to-Yin; his essence is Yang, but he has already leaned toward the Yin side, so he acts very extremely—either he doesn't do it, or he does it to the end."

"And Emo Lvcheng is Yin-extreme-giving-birth-to-Yang; although his essence is Yin, he leans more toward Yang, and is the closest to Lv Cheng under normal circumstances."

"If we want to leave Hell and gain freedom in this world, we can only hang out with him. Otherwise, once he has a problem like today, that Saint Warrior version of Lv Cheng will descend again."

"That guy doesn't care about anything else; once he descends, the first thing he'll do is definitely deal with us!"

Ximu's expression froze, "I think helping our new brother grow up healthily is an elder brother's bounden duty!"

He did not think he could beat that Saint Warrior!

Moreover, if there were even a glimmer of hope, Shendu would never tolerate the existence of someone who could keep him in check; this old thing couldn't even tolerate his own son.

But now that even Shendu had lost his nerve, it meant there was no other choice in this matter.

……

The top of the Silver Trade Building.

After confirming with Luo Pei that his brain was fine, Lv Cheng prepared to take Ye Xinxia to the Anquan Jiejie of Bo City.

Bo City was currently full of demons. Although these demons were all anesthetized by the rain and their aggression was not strong, they were still dangerous. Moreover, the heavy rain was about to end, and the anesthetic effect was about to disappear. By then, even the demons that had not been driven Berserk would be extremely dangerous.

"Lv Cheng? Why are you here?"

After confirming that the Winged Wolf was completely dead, Zhankong flew toward the Silver Trade Building, wanting to seek help from the Super-level Mage who had just attacked.

Although the Winged Wolf was dead, there were still many Servant-class and Warrior-level demons in Bo City, and because there was no commander to lead them, those Bone-Stabbing Savage Wolves were running around everywhere.

The military, the Magic Association, even with the support of the two High-level Mages who came from the Judgment Court, were far from enough in terms of strength.

If they could get the assistance of a Super-level Mage, they could speed up the rescue work in Bo City.

"I saw people fighting in the sky, so I came over to take a look," Lv Cheng said.

"Watching the excitement?" Zhankong's eye twitched.

This was indeed something Lv Cheng would do.

After all, the demons invading Bo City this time, except for the dead Winged Wolf, did not possess the ability to fly. This sub-dragon was over a hundred meters off the ground; this kid was perfectly safe.

However, to still be in the mood to watch the excitement at a time like this—should one say this kid had strong mental fortitude, or that he was overly cold-blooded...

"Then did you see those two Super-level Mages?" Zhankong asked.

"Super-level Mage?" Lv Cheng was stunned.

Could it be that they mistook his state after splitting apart for a Super-level Mage?

"The two who were fighting in the sky just now," Zhankong said.

Lv Cheng shook his head, "They have already left."

"Left?" Zhankong was somewhat disappointed, although he hadn't held much hope to begin with.

"Then can you..."

Zhankong had wanted to ask Lv Cheng to help deal with the demons in the city, as this sub-dragon had formidable combat power, but thinking that the other party was still just a student and was also carrying a little girl with him, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Don't worry, I won't just sit by and watch. After I send Xinxia back to the Anquan Jiejie, I will come back to help," Lv Cheng said.

Right now, what Bo City's rescue efforts lacked most were flying units. Just participating in the rescue wouldn't make the Black Vatican hold a grudge against him, and besides, he also needed to build up his image; it wouldn't hurt him.

"Thank you very much!" Zhankong said happily.

"I will contact the Magic Association and the Military Mages in the city; they will all cooperate with you."

"No need to thank me, I've lived here for over a dozen years after all," Lv Cheng said.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye!"

Zhankong did not linger any longer; there were many places in the city that still needed his support, and furthermore, reports from below indicated traces of the Black Vatican, so he still had to guard against sneak attacks by Black Vatican Mages.

……

Xiaotian's speed was very fast, and in no time, he flew to the outskirts of the Anquan Jiejie. The Military Mages guarding the edge of the Anquan Jiejie recognized Lv Cheng's sub-dragon and did not launch an attack.

"A-Cheng!"

"A-Cheng! Hurry and go save Ningxue!"

Just as he landed, Lv Cheng saw Mu Zhuoyun, with bandages wrapped around his upper body, running toward him.

"What's the situation?" Lv Cheng asked, puzzled.

"Mu Ningxue saw that you hadn't come out yet, so she secretly ran back to the city area to look for you!" Mu Zhuoyun said anxiously.

Lv Cheng was stunned, "Are you sure?"

Could Mu Ningxue really do such a thing?

"Mu Ningxue really ran back! A-Cheng! I beg you, go save her quickly!" Mu Zhuoyun was almost about to cry.

Mu Ningxue was his only hope; if something happened to this child, he really didn't know if he could go on living.

"Alright, don't panic, I'll go right now." Lv Cheng helped Mu Zhuoyun up, feeling somewhat helpless.

Although Mu Zhuoyun was snobbish, he had indeed taken good care of him over the past few years; even if he didn't have that relationship with Mu Ningxue, he would still try to save her if she were just a stranger.

It was just that, given Mu Ningxue's personality, how could she do such a thing?

It wasn't that he had a prejudice against Mu Ningxue, but rather, would that girl go to such lengths for him?

Running back to the city area now was purely risking her life!
