Chapter 156: Fighting for You, My Lady

Lu Xingzhou's experience over the years was not narrow; he had seen many monsters and demon beasts, and things like Flame Demons, Shadow Demons, and Iron Demons were all within his understanding. In short, they were all lives condensed from a certain type of element in the world, and those with good natures were often called "spirits," while those with evil natures were "monsters."

Looking at this origin, inner demons could also be understood as a type of spiritual element, within the scope of cognition.

But what was a succubus?

Was lust an element? Then wouldn't everyone in the book club be a monster?

Hormone monster? Bull monster? Cave troll?

This wasn't a system, hey... It could only be roughly understood as a spirit condensed from a certain type of desire. If it was lust, was her expressiveness very similar to the "Chaste Maiden Profound Art"? How was it different?

The difference was that Pei Chuyun was a person, with human emotions and a self-consistent set of values, while a succubus did not.

And Pei Chuyun had not yet reached Grade 3, so she could not use some spiritual-level techniques for the time being; but this succubus had regressed from Grade 3, and it was uncertain whether she could use them.

It was damn amazing; clearly, the Iron Demon dripping with lava brought much more pressure and power, but everyone's eyes were on the succubus... but the facts should be about the same. In terms of the nature of a succubus, this Iron Demon might actually be a subordinate.

Hmm, bloody dog-man and dog-woman?

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the succubus over there was also weeping: "Young Master... save me..."

The chains seemed to be wrapped around her body, but they just happened to cover the key points, making her look even more alluring. Combined with this voice and tone, it could really make any man's heart itch.

Sheng Yuanyao's ponytail almost stood up. Familiar, too familiar. The green tea in someone's house was just like this; it made people's hair stand on end just hearing it.

She quickly drew her saber: "Division of labor, I'll deal with this one, you and A-Nuo quickly solve the Iron Demon!"

Lu Xingzhou grabbed her ponytail and pulled her back: "A-Nuo go, she is the one with the least desire to be exploited, and she is the strongest among us. Can you, a Grade 5 little melon, have some self-awareness? Do you not want your life just so I don't have to go?"

Sheng Yuanyao: "..."

"Roar!" The two's highly suspicious attitude of flirting finally angered the Iron Demon, who had been posing for a long time. It took two steps out of the lava and punched Lu Xingzhou directly in the head.

"Hee hee... the two of you are so loving, it makes my heart itch..." The succubus leaned against the pillar and laughed.

A-Nuo arrived in front of her with a "whoosh" and slapped her with the pancake: "Shameless, whose heart are you itching for, go to hell!"

The chains wrapped around her body suddenly rotated, forming a spiral shield like a nebula chain, blocking A-Nuo's pancake outside. The inside was indeed empty. In his busy schedule, Lu Xingzhou glanced and seemed to see cherry red switches on a keyboard.

The succubus didn't care about being seen through and laughed to herself: "Big sister doesn't bully children, let your father come..."

The "oh" sound hadn't even finished being coquettish before it suddenly turned into a tremolo.

The chains seemed to be rotating, but when the pancake slapped them, they suddenly became disobedient, withered, and fell off—literally "dropping the chain."

The succubus's face changed, and she twisted her body to dodge dangerously. The pancake brushed past her, almost smashing the red switches.

The succubus broke out in a cold sweat, and only then did she start to take the little brat in front of her seriously: "Little brat, you are courting death~"

A-Nuo looked her up and down, her eyes full of contempt: "With this figure, any one of my mistresses is better than you!"

"I don't believe it~" The succubus glanced at Sheng Yuanyao over there, but her voice got stuck.

Although the succubus belonged to a spirit born of heaven and earth, her figure was absolutely perfect, so saying someone was better than her was obviously a forced smear. But looking at it, at least Sheng Yuanyao was no worse than her. Her figure was symmetrical and athletic, with a thin waist and long legs. Although her chest wasn't as big as hers, it was moderate and the shape was upright.

Many men liked this style; they didn't necessarily love the front-heavy and back-curved ones.

Any one of them was no worse than her, and the succubus was a little hit.

"Pfft~" A-Nuo made a face, and the pancake turned into a frisbee, spinning out. At the same time, she followed behind, her little fist clenching a "Yama Kill."

The succubus didn't dare to use the chains anymore. She didn't know where she found a white silk, using softness to overcome hardness, and rolled it toward the frisbee.

She was also puzzled in her heart: how could such a small human be so strong? This shouldn't be... but what was annoying was that a child was a child. She had released the mist of lust for so long, and the stinky child was not affected at all; she hadn't even been enlightened yet!

How could a Grade 4 child opponent pop up? Wasn't this a natural counter?

The battle here entered a white-hot stage, and Lu Xingzhou and Sheng Yuanyao's battle against the Iron Demon also reached a critical point.

Lu Xingzhou felt that the two of them were like a bloody dog-man and dog-woman, and the Iron Demon felt that these two were the real dog-man and dog-woman.

The cultivation of this pair of dog-man and dog-woman was only at the Grade 5 middle stage, and there was clearly a big gap in absolute strength compared to the Iron Demon, but the Iron Demon also found that these two dog things were not easy to deal with at all.

"Swish!" Sheng Yuanyao used her ancestral thick-backed saber, the wind whistled, and she slashed horizontally.

The Iron Demon's whole body was as hard as steel, and it didn't care at all, blocking it casually. But the saber made a "clack" sound and broke into the steel skin, and the lava inside fell down with a rustle.

Sheng Yuanyao couldn't hold the force and flew backward, but this slash confirmed that she could break the defense!

"Grade 3 precious saber!" The Iron Demon had this thought in its heart and hurriedly withdrew its hand. The sound of wind rose again by its ear, and Lu Xingzhou's aerial flying kick had already reached its face.

The Iron Demon blocked with its other hand, and the two sides intersected, their strength actually evenly matched.

—When Lu Xingzhou used his fists, it was Grade 5 strength relying on special skills to blast out Grade 4 power, but that was only the effect of the special skills, and he couldn't achieve that power in every attack. But his legs could... a casual kick was power beyond his own. That was the power of the water and fire bones that had not been fully digested. At that time, two casual kicks made Ye Wufeng extremely uncomfortable.

Outsiders never thought that the cripple Lu Xingzhou's strongest power was in his legs, and it was very likely that it would be for the rest of his life. Even if his cultivation was balanced in the future, his leg bones would still be stronger than other bones.

Lu Xingzhou's first leg was the power of water spirit, testing how much effect it had on this lava Iron Demon.

The place where the two sides intersected made a "sizzling sound," and it seemed that water vapor was steaming. It didn't seem to have much effect, basically belonging to a drop in the bucket.

Lu Xingzhou took the opportunity to spin, and his fire leg came out again. At the same time, he quietly pinched a slow-motion talisman in his hand.

Sheng Yuanyao was also dragging her saber and sweeping horizontally. The Iron Demon's fist was originally whistling, and it wanted to blast Sheng Yuanyao in the face at the same time she slashed, but it was stunned to find that this punch had slowed down.

Sheng Yuanyao was also a person with rich combat experience. Seeing this, her saber momentum increased by three points immediately, and she slashed at the Iron Demon's waist before the punch arrived.

Lu Xingzhou's fire leg also kicked directly on the Iron Demon's chest.

It was still a "clack" sound, and the steel at the waist was cut into, and lava flowed. But the Iron Demon didn't seem to have any pain, and a ferocious look appeared on its face instead. The punch had reached Sheng Yuanyao's face.

Sheng Yuanyao abandoned the saber and rolled, and Lu Xingzhou's fire leg had already kicked the Iron Demon's chest.

This leg was not explosive power; it was still testing, injecting the fire spirit power on the leg into the Iron Demon's body to see if there was any special reaction.

As a result, the Iron Demon, who didn't even feel pain from the saber slash, let out a muffled roar this time, seeming a bit uncomfortable, and took two steps back. The saber that was stuck in its waist fell, and Sheng Yuanyao quickly picked it up.

Lu Xingzhou had a plan in his heart. This Iron Demon needed scorching nourishment, but it couldn't continue to add weight, otherwise, its temperature tolerance would exceed the standard.

But the problem was that his own flame temperature was just like that, not high enough. The nature of the black flame was not extreme high temperature, and it didn't match the demand...

As for Sheng Yuanyao's physical damage, it could also cause damage but not enough force, and could only break the defense but not cause fatal damage.

Both of them were a little bit short, how to deal with it?

Sheng Yuanyao swung her big saber and continued to chase and slash, and Lu Xingzhou also kicked continuously to suppress, thinking secretly in his heart.

In a protracted war, the two of them as humans would definitely not be able to beat this kind of monster. They were almost tireless, so they had to make a quick decision.

He could only try... Lu Xingzhou quietly probed his mind and separated the fire seed that the Flame Demon had just absorbed.

This fire seed had been continuously scorched on the first floor, creating a desert over time. It was logically a type of extremely stable and long-lasting flame. In terms of temperature alone, it was mediocre, and absorbing it for the Flame Demon didn't make it much stronger. Absorbing it for his own use could probably create a stable elixir fire. Was it meaningful for combat?

Yes...

"Yuanyao, its speed is average, attack its lower plate."

Sheng Yuanyao received the order and, regardless of the lava on the ground, directly performed a ground-rolling saber, cutting toward the Iron Demon's calf.

The Iron Demon took a step back and instinctively lowered its head to look down.

Lu Xingzhou jumped into mid-air, flicked his leg, and kicked the Iron Demon's chin.

The Iron Demon still instinctively leaned back, avoiding the kick.

Just as it raised its head, a black Flame Demon appeared in front of it, grinning as if it were taking a dump, separating a ball of flame and dropping it into its mouth.

Iron Demon: "?"

The next moment, the scorching pain extended from its mouth to its abdomen. The Iron Demon roared wildly, lava splashed, and the violent power swept through. Lu Xingzhou and Sheng Yuanyao both protected their faces and flew back.

The flame effect of the fire seed as a fire source was not good, but what if the whole fire seed entered the Iron Demon's body?

With the endless, surging flames burning, could it hold on?

"Roar!" Almost visibly, the steel armor of the Iron Demon's skin began to dissolve, gradually turning into a liquid state.

But if it was all liquid, it couldn't stand!

The Iron Demon went crazy and violent instantly. Before the steel had finished melting, it slammed a punch at Sheng Yuanyao.

It could also see that among the dog-man and dog-woman, the woman was slightly weaker. If it wanted to take one away before dying, it could only take the woman.

This punch of rage after going violent was far beyond the speed and power just now. Sheng Yuanyao hurriedly raised her saber to protect herself, and the huge force surged. With a "puff," she spat out a mouthful of blood, and she and the saber were thrown backward.

Lu Xingzhou flew forward to catch her, and the Iron Demon's other punch hit Sheng Yuanyao's face again.

Lu Xingzhou was in mid-air and couldn't advance or retreat, so he gritted his teeth and turned around to block in front of Sheng Yuanyao. At the same time, he didn't even have time to use the talisman, only having time to summon the soul banner to block behind him.

"Bang!" The iron fist slammed fiercely into Lu Xingzhou's back, and both the soul banner and his clothes were blasted into a big hole. Lu Xingzhou felt a sweetness in his throat and also spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying Sheng Yuanyao all over her face.

With a "thud," the two fell to the ground. Sheng Yuanyao stared blankly at the pale Lu Xingzhou on top of her, losing her mind for a moment.

Lu Xingzhou didn't have the pleasure of slow-motion BGM. He supported his hands on the scorched ground, and his fire leg kicked backward, hitting the Iron Demon's chasing fist.

Fist and leg intersected, and the power of Lu Xingzhou's fire leg exploded fully, blasting into the Iron Demon's body again.

Burning inside and out, the Iron Demon finally let out an earth-shattering roar, and the whole person melted into molten iron, turning into the lava pool.

"Not dead!" Lu Xingzhou breathed heavily: "Still able to regenerate, really like a dog-man and dog-woman... Quickly concentrate your strength and work with A-Nuo to solve the succubus, and then deal with this thing later!"

Sheng Yuanyao struggled to turn over and get up, and just as she was about to attack the succubus's direction with Lu Xingzhou, their legs went soft at the same time, and they almost fell down.

They looked at each other in astonishment, but both saw the surging spring feelings in each other's eyes.

In heat at this time?

—The succubus's technique of remotely inducing mental desire, although it was difficult to exert power after dropping to Grade 4, had been fighting for so long, and the mental charm that had been constantly spreading during the battle had long permeated the space.

When everyone was intact, they might be able to block and endure it, but what about after being injured?
