Chapter 192: Dan Tai Immortal Fairy
I'm not afraid of enemies as powerful as gods; I'm only afraid of teammates as treacherous as snakes.
Ah!
Just as Lu Changfeng's shout faded, Liu Yueqiao let out a mournful, harrowing scream.
A gleaming golden flying sword was lodged in her chest.
At the same time, the elder who had just been urging Liu Yueqiao leapt away from the crowd.
Liu Yueqiao turned, gazing at the elder who had once been like a sister, and, using her last ounce of strength, asked, "Why?"
The elder shook her head, and two streams of clear tears surged forth.
"Don't blame me! Don't blame me!"
"I never thought you'd be a demon traitor. A millennium of protection, destroyed in an instant. I, Liu Yueqiao, am a sinner of the Dan Tai Immortal Sect..."
Liu Yueqiao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her eyes wide open, and, unwillingly, collapsed.
"Sect Master!"
The elders and disciples of the Dan Tai Immortal Sect burst into wailing cries.
Seeing this, Lu Changfeng looked to the heavens and laughed loudly, "Heifeng, well done!"
The elder wiped away her tears, gave Lu Changfeng a grim smile, and said, "Lord Demon King, Heifeng has been exposed; we request to rejoin the ranks!"
Lu Changfeng nodded, "Very good. Heifeng, you have achieved great merit. Once we slaughter these Dan Tai disciples and rescue the Lord Demon King, we shall ask the old man to reward you handsomely!"
Liu Yueqiao died, and the Dan Tai Demon‑Eradication Formation vanished.
The favorable situation Liu Yueqiao had won at the cost of her life turned to nothing in an instant.
Lu Changfeng drew a demonic weapon, sneered, and slashed at a crying Dan Tai elder.
The elder brandished a sword to block.
But her cultivation and weapon were far inferior to his.
Her flying sword was cut in half by Lu Changfeng, and she was kicked to the ground.
The elder spat blood, her body convulsed, and she was on the brink of death.
Meanwhile, other elders and disciples of the Dan Tai Immortal Sect also suffered the enemy's frenzied counterattack.
The defensive line fell.
Lu Changfeng swung his blade at the Eight Wilderness Demon‑Suppression Pillar.
The pillar was already damaged; it could not withstand his powerful strike.
The pillar shattered, and its divine light dissipated.
Lu Changfeng tapped both feet and lightly leapt onto the altar.
"Lord Demon King, Changfeng has come to rescue you!"
Lu Changfeng bowed before the bronze coffin and performed a salute.
He sheathed the demonic weapon and pushed forcefully with both hands.
The bronze coffin lid fell with a sound.
Inside the coffin lay a stunningly beautiful woman.
The moment the lid fell, the woman's tightly closed eyes moved.
After a short while, the woman slowly rose from the coffin.
She had bright eyes and white teeth, skin whiter than snow, and a pair of jade‑like long legs gently stepped out of the coffin.
Lu Changfeng was stunned.
The two battling sides halted.
"Patriarch!" the elders and disciples of the Dan Tai Immortal Sect knelt together.
"Lord Demon King!" the masked crowd knelt together.
Zhang Xingyu stuck his head out and looked up at the altar.
What the hell.
She was a woman whose beauty could overturn all beings.
She turned out to be the Dan Tai Immortal Sect's founder, Dan Tai Immortal Fairy.
After thousands of years, this Dan Tai Immortal Fairy was still alive.
It was strange, though—why did these masked people all call her Lord Demon King?
Could it be that the Dan Tai Immortal Fairy had another identity?
Above the altar.
The Dan Tai Immortal Fairy's face was like cold frost as she looked down from her height at the people crawling at her feet.
At that moment, her chest suddenly swelled.
Immediately, a thick black smoke rose from her chest.
The black smoke formed a black heart that hovered before her.
"Hahaha, I finally emerged," the black heart roared.
Then the black heart circled the Dan Tai Immortal Fairy and transformed into a handsome man in black.
The black‑clad man laughed wildly at the Dan Tai Immortal Fairy, "Dan Tai, you have suppressed me for three thousand years; today I will settle the score with you."
The Dan Tai Immortal Fairy gave him a glance, snorted coldly, and said, "Black‑Heart Demon King, cease your arrogance; I suppressed you for three thousand years and can suppress you for another three thousand."
The Black‑Heart Demon King laughed, "Just because you? Without Liu Changsheng, do you think you can still be my opponent?"
The Dan Tai Immortal Fairy frowned.
The Black‑Heart Demon King cackled and flew to Lu Changfeng's head.
Lu Changfeng knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "Congratulations, Lord Demon King, on regaining your freedom!"
The Blackheart Demon King nodded, then gracefully descended before him.
"Chang Feng, you are excellent; it was not in vain that I cultivated you for thousands of years."
"Chang Feng is willing to plunge into boiling water and walk through fire for you, Lord, without complaint!"
The Blackheart Demon King nodded and placed his hand on Lu Changfeng's head.
"Your sincerity, I, the King, know. I have returned to the mortal world and now intend to use your cultivation to restore my strength."
As soon as the words fell, he transformed into a black light and entered the center of Lu Changfeng's forehead.
At the same time, Lu Changfeng's flesh and blood began to wither at a visibly rapid pace.
In an instant, Lu Changfeng fell to the ground.
The Blackheart Demon King emerged from Lu Changfeng's forehead.
His skin grew whiter, his appearance more handsome, and his robe darker.
The Blackheart Demon King licked his blood‑red tongue and glanced at the kneeling crowd below the stage.
"This isn't satisfying. I need a feast to fill the hunger that has built up over three thousand years."
Having said that, he turned toward Tan Tai Fairy.
"Tan Tai, your disciples have established a Tan Tai Sect here, with over a thousand followers. In a moment, I will, before you, devour them all."
"You dare not!"
Tan Tai Fairy scolded softly.
As she spoke, her jade hand gestured, and Magpie transformed into a streak of light that returned to her hand.
Tan Tai Fairy gently stroked the Magpie, murmuring, "Magpie, Magpie, today I will join you to slay demons."
The Magpie quivered lightly, its sword's aura flowing, as if softly agreeing.
"Blackheart Old Demon, meet your death!"
Tan Tai Fairy let out a light chuckle, and her flying sword turned into a Magpie, soaring toward the Blackheart Demon King.
The Blackheart Demon King chuckled, transformed into a black light, and darted into the crowd beneath the altar.
Where the black light passed, the kneeling person turned into a skeleton.
"Scatter quickly!"
Tan Tai Fairy pursued while shouting loudly.
The crowd fled in all directions.
Yet a person's running speed cannot outrun a flash of light.
In less than a moment, the once dense crowd dwindled to only two or three people.
The ground was strewn with fresh white bones.
The endless white was terribly frightening.
At that moment, a man wearing a skull mask rushed toward the doorway.
Passing the place where Zhang Xingyu was hiding, he whispered to Zhang Xingyu, "Run!"
Fifth Senior Brother?
It was Fifth Senior Brother Cheng Haonan's voice.
How did Fifth Senior Brother become a comrade of these demons?
Without time to think, Zhang Xingyu dragged Lu Xiaofeng and ran outward.
Behind them, the Blackheart Demon King had finished devouring the last woman's flesh.
He glanced at the three ahead, gave a faint smile, his black robe fluttered lightly, and he vanished in an instant.
A flash of black light, and the Blackheart Demon King appeared before the three.
"Run, you cannot escape. Better to obediently offer your flesh and blood!"
The Blackheart Demon King licked his blood‑red lips and laughed softly.
His gaze passed Cheng Haonan and Zhang Xingyu, finally settling on Lu Xiaofeng.
"Heh heh, Chang Feng is truly dependable. He even found me a pure‑yin girl to possess. If I weren't desperate to restore my power, I really shouldn't have devoured her."
The Blackheart Demon King said it, yet his face showed no hint of regret.
As he spoke, the Blackheart Demon King lunged toward Zhang Xingyu.
