Chapter 113: Love Unto Death

"Fanfan, hold on tight!"

Embracing the Rakshasa Woman's waist, the Ox Demon King leapt into the air, his voice deep and resonant, echoing throughout the entire Sea of Blood.

"Defy the current, tread upon heaven!"

As the words fell, the sky over the Sea of Blood darkened; the originally crimson sky now gathered a vast black shadow that blotted out the heavens, hovering in midair.

"What is this?"

The Asura clanspeople stared, dumbfounded.

"Ah, I can't move!" Suddenly, one of the Asuras cried out in terror.

Upon these words, it was as if a massive stone had been thrown into a lake—the scene erupted completely.

"Me too—why?"

"I can move, but it's extremely taxing!"

"What on earth is going on? What exactly is this thing from heaven?"

Upon closer inspection, that black shadow resembled a hoof.

"Trickery." Indra's fury showed no sign of abating; he pointed a finger, and a colossal skull soared upward to meet the sky.

Gazing calmly at the approaching skull, the Ox Demon King coldly bellowed: "Stamp!"

As the words fell, the enormous hoof-shadow came crashing down violently.

Boom!

At the moment the skull touched the hoof-shadow, it was shattered to pieces with no resistance whatsoever.

Even he struck it?

Self-Contented Heaven Wave Tide observed the technique covering the battlefield, his face darkening; with a sweeping gesture, his magical power enveloped all the Asura clanspeople except Indra.

Boom!

The deafening roar rang out, and the entire platform's height was leveled by the Ox Demon King's strike.

Though the Asura clanspeople were unharmed under Self-Contented Heaven Wave Tide's protection, many were shaken to the ground.

However, compared to them, Indra and the already deceased Pariyatna were in a far worse state.

Caught off guard, Indra was forced to half-kneel on the ground, utterly humiliated; Pariyatna's corpse had already turned into a meat patty, too gruesome to behold.

The Asuras' pride in their physique was utterly useless against the Ox Demon King's "Defy the Current, Tread Upon Heaven"—it couldn't withstand a single blow.

Witnessing this, Indra erupted completely.

"Ah!"

Indra roared hoarsely: "You shall not leave the Netherworld Sea of Blood today!"

The Great Luo Golden Immortal's vast magical power surged forth like a breached flood, Indra wiping away the bell at his waist and shaking it vigorously.

The copper bell was not an ordinary brittle chime, but an extremely deep and gloomy sound.

"Hurry up and go!" The Rakshasa Woman recognized the object in Indra's hand, her face changing color, and she urged the Ox Demon King weakly but urgently.

The Ox Demon King nodded solemnly, about to lead the Rakshasa Woman away, but Indra directly blocked his path.

Some sharp-eyed Asura clanspeople saw the bell and couldn't help but exclaim aloud.

"This is the Summoning General's Bell! Indra intends to—"

Before the words finished, three streams of light flew toward the battlefield in unison.

Vishnu, Luturo, and the Ghost Mother—the Four Great Demon Generals of the Asuras had all gathered!

"The Ox Demon King abducted the Princess—a crime unforgivable; he must be slain here, not allowed to leave the Sea of Blood alive!" Indra roared, yet not a word mentioned his own son.

The Asura clan is divided into Four Great Demon Kings and Four Great Demon Generals; though both are demon kings, Self-Contented Heaven Wave Tide has the highest cultivation, making him the sovereign king and also the Asura King.

Likewise, Indra, as the highest-cultivated among the Four Great Demon Generals, holds relatively greater authority, possessing the right to summon the Three Great Demon Generals.

The Three Great Demon Generals all saw the Asura King Self-Contented Heaven Wave Tide below, exchanged glances, and each showed some hesitation.

The king's expression didn't seem very angry, after all.

"What are you waiting for? Kill!" Indra had now lost his reason; he only wanted to avenge his son, and for that, he even used political maneuvering to exploit Self-Contented Heaven Wave Tide's name to intimidate others.

The excited ones overlooked the fact that Self-Contented Heaven Wave Tide himself was right below at that moment.

Upon hearing Indra's words, Self-Contented Heaven Wave Tide's expression also turned cold.

Unexpected—my regard and cultivation would cause Indra to grow so arrogant.

Yet just this change in expression was enough to make the Three Great Demon Generals truly believe Indra's words reflected Self-Contented Heaven Wave Tide's own thoughts.

They immediately surrounded the Ox Demon King and the Rakshasa Woman, though no one dared to make a move, after all, the Princess was in their hands.

"Ox Demon King, you cannot escape." Indra said viciously, wishing he could devour the Ox Demon King whole.

But looking at the Rakshasa Woman, he still forced himself to restrain.

He eased his tone slightly: "Your Highness the Princess, come quickly to our side—this is a Ten Evils Unforgivable monster; even if you stay with him, it will later bring you harm."

"No need for Indra to worry—I, the Rakshasa Woman, will share weal and woe with my husband no matter what happens."

Seeing the Rakshasa Woman unyielding, whether soft or hard tactics, Indra could only fix his gaze stubbornly on the Ox Demon King.

"If you are a man, don't use the Princess as a shield."

"How can the mighty Powerful Ox Demon King rely on a woman to survive—truly contemptible!"

The Ox Demon King felt somewhat moved, not because he was angered, but because he knew he fundamentally lacked the strength to forcefully break free.

Yet as a man who stands tall between heaven and earth, he would rather die in battle than live by relying on the enemy's hesitation toward his wife.

The Ox Demon King nudged the Rakshasa Woman beside him, wanting her to leave, but her hand was gripped tightly.

"Share the quilt in life, share the grave in death!"

The Rakshasa Woman's voice was firm, allowing no refusal.

Just as the two sides were locked in stalemate, a clear yet slightly playful voice came from the highest heavens above.

"He can't get out alone, so what about with me?"

Everyone looked up at once, seeing a handsome young man with wings on his back.

"Who are you?" Indra shouted angrily.

Coming at this time, combined with what this person just said, he must be with the Ox Demon King.

"Me?" The young man smiled slightly: "I am Peng Demon King, unchanged in name or seat."

"Brother, how did you come here?" The Ox Demon King looked anxious; this old Peng and he were both merely Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Yet surrounding him were four Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Peng Demon King showed no concern, pulling out two jugs of Peach Blossom Brew and said: "I'm not happy today, so I just want to drink a cup with you, brother."

After speaking, he threw down the extra jug he was holding.

The Ox Demon King caught it in one hand, looked at the wine jug, and laughed and scolded: "Holy shit, you still have hidden stash!"

"What hidden stash? That's what I bought with my money! I originally wanted to save it to drink slowly myself, but I'll let you have it cheap."

Looking at that fearless figure in the sky, the Ox Demon King's heart was deeply moved; in demon life, having a wife unto death within and brothers sharing hardship without, it was worth it!

Opening the bottle stopper, the Ox Demon King laughed loudly: "Good brother!"

The two demons thus drank freely under everyone's gaze; the light peach fragrance made even the Rakshasa Woman beside the Ox Demon King quite tempted.

"Satisfying!" After finishing the wine, the Ox Demon King and Peng Demon King threw caution to the wind.

Drinking with brothers is still the most enjoyable!

The wine jug fell to the ground and shattered into four or five pieces.

"Kill them all!" Indra roared: "First, deal with that newcomer!"

Anyone who dares to help kill his son must die!

"Kill me?" Peng Demon King pointed at himself, as if he had just heard the funniest joke.

"Then let's try." Peng Demon King chuckled happily, twisting his neck, eager to test, also wanting to check the actual combat effectiveness of his divine abilities.
