Chapter 140: Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon

"That is..."

Lu Fang frowned. As those terrifying red eyes approached, he also saw its true form. It was a red demon with ox horns, over ten zhang tall.

A black chain as thick as an arm was tied around its waist.

This chain hung long on the ground, as if it had no end. Every step the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon took, the chain rattled.

Lu Fang endured the fear and perceived that the "Momentum" on the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon was almost substantial, which proved it was very strong.

Without even fighting, he knew he was absolutely no match for it.

Before, with Li Yu's help, while using the extraordinary power "Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea" and in the transformed state, he could kill the Fourth Rank, Third Stage monk Master Yi Hui.

But he felt that the monk Master Yi Hui would basically have no power to fight back in front of this Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon.

Fortunately, this special place also had rank restrictions; otherwise, it would likely be even stronger.

Just as Lu Fang and the deity were observing the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon, it roared at the sky, like a wild beast with territorial awareness, staring fixedly at the intruders before it with those blood-red eyes.

Run!

Lu Fang and the deity ran toward the distance almost at the same time.

The Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon behind them was like a cheetah, using its hands and feet to drag the heavy chain as it chased Lu Fang and the deity. It was very agile, approaching the two people in front at a very fast speed.

Whoosh!

The deity condensed several "divine power" small swords and stabbed them toward Lu Fang, who was running on one side.

He hoped to cause a certain impact on Lu Fang, allowing himself to run in the very front.

To dodge the divine power small swords, Lu Fang fell behind by a few body lengths, but with the help of the Qimen Feijia, he soon caught up.

Petals of peach blossoms fell, forming a ring that locked onto the deity.

Lu Fang could have used "Funeral Zang Zang Hua Yin" to lock onto the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon behind him, but he didn't use it, instead locking onto the deity.

Didn't the other party just attack suddenly, wanting to play dirty?

Then he didn't need to be soft-hearted either; as long as he was faster than the deity, that was fine.

"You don't restrict the guy behind, but restrict me?"

The deity, fleeing quickly, said coldly. He reached out, wanting to wave away the peach blossom petals around him, but he couldn't wave them away. He clearly perceived that these peach blossoms were restricting his speed.

Lu Fang bared his teeth in a smile and didn't argue with him, instead consuming Book Fragrance Qi while using the Six Meridian Divine Sword to harass the deity's speed.

All of this happened in an instant.

After exceeding the deity by more than ten zhang, Lu Fang changed direction. In his view, if the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon behind wasn't an idiot, it would definitely go to chase the deity.

"You..."

The deity gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Fang, who had changed direction.

There was a gap between his realm and Lu Fang's, but not much. Because of the restriction of the extraordinary power "Funeral Zang Zang Hua Yin," his speed, which was already slower than Lu Fang's, became even more obvious.

That is to say, it was the same whether Lu Fang changed direction or not.

But the current situation was even worse for the deity.

At this critical juncture, the deity looked back and was surprised to see that the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon had been staring at the direction Lu Fang was running.

He decisively changed direction and ran in the opposite direction.

The deity's conjecture was very accurate. Even though his side was closer and his speed was clearly much slower than Lu Fang's, the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon still abandoned him and went to chase Lu Fang.

Lu Fang also perceived this situation. He cursed in his heart and directly locked the extraordinary power "Funeral Zang Zang Hua Yin" onto the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon.

For a time, Lu Fang's speed increased significantly.

If they were chasing at this speed difference, Lu Fang really wasn't afraid of the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon. With the restriction of the chain around its waist, its speed was definitely affected.

"Moo~"

The Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon irritably wanted to wave away the peach blossom petals around it. This thing made its speed much slower, and it watched as Lu Fang in front ran faster and faster. It roared as if threatening Lu Fang not to approach.

Just as Lu Fang was puzzled, his eyes lit up. He saw an ancient castle in front, which was exactly the same as the one he saw when he met Zhao Qingzhu in his dream.

It seemed he hadn't come to the wrong place.

No!

Lu Fang's eyelids twitched. He suddenly thought that if Zhao Qingzhu was really in this ancient castle, or nearby, how could she survive for more than ten years?

From the information he obtained, Zhao Qingzhu's strength was not strong.

At least against the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon behind, she should have had no power to fight back at all. She shouldn't be in the castle.

Thinking of this, Lu Fang subconsciously wanted to bypass the castle. Just as he was about to change direction, the castle door was suddenly pushed open with a creak, and a person's outline walked out.

Judging by the figure, it looked like a woman.

"Eh?" Lu Fang felt the woman's figure was very familiar and shouted tentatively, "Zhao Qingzhu?"

The woman was clearly stunned, then responded, "Is it Lu Fang? Come in quickly, the monster behind you cannot enter the castle."

The voice was indeed Zhao Qingzhu's!

Lu Fang hesitated slightly. He was afraid that the Zhao Qingzhu before him was some kind of existence in the special place that had transformed, and perhaps the castle had some trap. But soon he dismissed this idea.

Because Zhao Qingzhu had called his name.

And regardless, he wanted to save Zhao Qingzhu and take her out, so he had to face her directly. He simply faced her directly.

"Moo!"

The Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon's roar became more intense, as if it were preventing Lu Fang from entering the castle.

The moment Lu Fang approached the castle, the environment before him changed. He found that he was already in the living room of the castle, and Zhao Qingzhu, not far in front, was looking him over.

The room wasn't particularly dim; several night-luminescent pearls were embedded in the walls, illuminating the room like moonlight.

Zhao Qingzhu was almost exactly the same as what Lu Fang saw in his dream, looking to be in her early twenties, with a few similarities to Lu Ling between her brows.

Except for her temperament and clothing, which were relatively mature, at first glance, one would almost mistake her for Lu Ling.

More than ten years had passed, and Zhao Qingzhu hadn't changed at all.

This should be because of the special place.

Seeing Lu Fang, Zhao Qingzhu didn't look happy, but instead looked worried, saying, "Didn't I tell you before? I didn't let you come here. Why don't you listen?"

Lu Fang smiled and changed the subject, "You still remember me? I was startled when I heard you call my name just now."

Before, when he met Zhao Qingzhu in his dream, she would forget what happened before every day.

So he took it for granted that she shouldn't remember him.

Zhao Qingzhu nodded, "I'm not very clear on the specifics, because I only saw you and the ascetic monk in my dreams. I remember only seeing the ascetic monk once in my dream, so I don't know that I would forget many things in my dream."

"And as soon as I wake up from the dream, I remember everything that happened in the dream."

"You don't know how anxious I was when I learned of your relationship with Ling'er." ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
