Princess Mo Hen's escort team, under the leadership of Demon Hero Nangong Ye, began to make a detour and advanced towards a dead city at the border of the Proud Sun Empire.
This was a city that was almost abandoned by the Proud Sun Empire.
It was filled with demonic energy and evil.
However, through this city, one could enter the boundless and beautiful territory of the Proud Sun Empire.
It was the only way for Princess Mo Hen to marry in the East Domain.
At this moment, Nangong Ye's true qi surged and divine light wrapped around his body. His expression was a mixture of excitement and gloominess.
A few of the Zhenqi realm deputy generals perked up, released their zhenqi and followed behind.
In the middle of the team.
"Eh?
Nangong Ye changed his route! "Hu Chenghe looked at the map and said in confusion.
"He abandoned the two mountain paths and directly entered the border city?"
"No matter. We will reach the Proud Sun Empire soon. If there is any sudden situation, Nangong Ye will naturally take care of it." Xiao Han shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Elder Hu, Mister Yun, I have heard that this border city of the Proud Sun Empire is a bit strange." A true qi realm guard suddenly said.
"Eh?" Xiao Han and Hu Chenghe looked at the guard at the same time.
"It is said that this was once a rich and fertile city, an important trading place.
However, ten years ago, the demon race caused trouble and it became a dead city in one night.
It will no longer be rebuilt. "The guard said cautiously.
"There is such a strange thing?" Hu Chenghe's expression slightly changed.
"Heh … Everyone, no need to panic.
Nangong Ye is a demon hero. Whether it is a dead city or a demon land, what does it have to do with us? "Xiao Han smiled.
For some reason, Xiao Han was becoming more and more fearless towards the demon race.
Subconsciously, there was a desire to kill the demon race.
That's right, if he didn't kill the demon race, the demon emperor tattoo on his left arm wouldn't be nourished. The life demon art of the North Profound Demon Emperor Crystal.
If the movement was illusory, he wouldn't be able to display his peak strength.
"I hope there won't be any accidents …" Hu Chenghe said worriedly.
"We just need to protect the princess." Xiao Han was even more certain.
Noon!
The team finally arrived at the dead city!
It was indeed a flourishing city!
The city walls that rose and fell like a mountain ridge, the wide moat, and the terrain that was like a crouching tiger and coiling dragon all told the world of its former glory and resplendence.
But at this time, the water in the moat had already dried up, and a thick layer of moss had grown on the mottled city walls … What was even more frightening was that the entire city was deathly silent, as if it was a ghost town from the Nine Nether!
Wisps of demonic Qi shot up into the sky from the city.
A large part of the clear sky was tainted with filth and filth. Dark clouds rose in all directions, and a demonic wind blew in the city, whistling like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves.
A terrifying and terrifying aura spread out.
In the team, there were some maids and craftsmen who did not know martial arts.
Their bodies trembled, and their eyes were filled with fear. They did not dare to enter the city.
Even the foreheads of the physical body realm martial artists were dripping with cold sweat.
"This city is filled with twisted demonic qi …" Xiao Han closed his eyes.
"This … this … is indeed … demonic qi …" Hu Chenghe licked his dry lips.
"Nangong Ye … what … what does he mean … he actually … actually chose this path …"
"Senior Hu, Left Bodyguard, protect the princess well.
Don't move even half a step away. "The demon egg in Xiao Han's heart began to spin.
After breaking the fourth seal, Xiao Han's ability to sense Demonic Qi and Demonic Clan creatures had been greatly enhanced.
It had increased by a large margin.
He could vaguely sense that there might be living demons in the city!
It was not as simple as a dead city!
With that, Xiao Han urged his horse forward a few steps.
At the front of the line.
"Heh … Such a strong demonic aura …" The true qi in Nangong Ye's body made a slight sizzling sound as he read the demonic aura.
The deputy generals exchanged glances with each other.
They all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"General … are we really going to enter this ghost city?" One of the deputy generals stammered.
"A bunch of idiots!" Nangong Ye said disdainfully.
"According to my experience, I have killed many Demon Clan members.
Although the demonic aura in this city was thick, it was impossible for a demon general-level demon to be hiding there.
Let's enter the city! "
Nangong Ye waved his hand, and the group surged into the ghost town.
Cross the drawbridge.
Enter the city.
In the city.
The sky suddenly turned dark.
To be more precise, the demonic aura that had accumulated in the sky above the city all year round had formed a dark cloud that blocked the sunlight.
The city was extremely cold, causing people to shiver in their bones.
"Boom!
Boom!
Boom! "
The True Qi Realm experts in the group all ignited their true qi, causing light to radiate in all directions, illuminating the dark environment and driving away the irritating cold.
In the middle of the group.
Xiao Han looked left and right.
There was no living person in this city, not even a single animal or mouse.
Many buildings had collapsed and turned into ruins.
Under the decaying bricks and debris, human skeletons could occasionally be seen.
"Wu ~ ~ Wu ~ ~ Wu ~ ~"
Waves of demonic wind swept across, sounding like the sobbing and whimpering of ghosts.
Those delicate and pretty maids and craftsmen had pale faces. Most of them had closed their eyes and lowered their heads as they walked. Their shoulders were trembling non-stop.
"Damn it … bad luck!"
Hu Chenghe and the few True Qi Realm guards frowned and cursed. They released their true qi and enveloped Princess Mo Hen's carriage.
This was a foolproof plan.
"In front, a little further ahead, there are signs of the demonic aura … very weak, normal True Qi Realm martial artists would not be able to detect it, but it can't hide from the demonic egg in my heart." Xiao Han was very sure.
He was already tensed up!
The Inextinguishable Golden Body in his body shone brilliantly, glistening brilliantly.
Moreover, the Demon Emperor Tattoo on his left arm was also trembling slightly.
At the front of the group.
"Hmm?" Nangong Ye frowned deeply and muttered.
"So strange … there doesn't seem to be any living demonic aura in this city, but why is it filled with demonic aura all year round …"
They continued forward.
Finally, the group arrived at the edge of a huge plaza in the center of the city.
They stopped.
Suddenly, Nangong Ye's pupils shrank and his scalp went numb as he stared at a stone pillar in the middle of the plaza. The few True Qi Realm generals behind him also widened their eyes and looked over without blinking.
They saw that on the huge pillar that required several people to encircle, a … human?
It was a guy in ragged clothes of medium height. He was nailed to the stone pillar by a bone arrow that looked like white jade.
Its head was drooping.
Its thick black hair completely covered its face.
Its hands were very long, long and withered. Each of its ten fingernails was more than a foot long. They were sharp and flashed with a threatening cold light.
Clouds of demonic aura rushed out from its body!
It poured into the vault of heaven and covered the sun. It was so dense that it didn't disperse.
"General … that … that … that thing that was nailed to the stone pillar … doesn't seem … seem … to be … not a human … but a demon's corpse … in the entire city.
The evil demonic aura is … is being emitted from this corpse … This ghost city was born ten years ago … which means, the demon corpse has been emitting demonic aura for ten years. Even today, the demonic aura is still so dense.
It's so intense that even the wind can't disperse it … then … then this demon must have been extremely terrifying when it was alive … too terrifying … "One of the generals stuttered. The true qi in his body was a little unstable.
"General, that bone arrow!" Another general said with a trembling voice.
The bone arrow that was shot into the demon's body was white and flawless. It was emitting a bitter and ancient aura.
Its entire body was extremely dazzling. There were countless light spots swimming around it. The clouds were steaming and the colors were overflowing.
It was brilliant!
It seemed to be an arrow made from the bone of some ancient beast.
The bone arrow was engraved with some mysterious and profound talisman characters. The word 'treasure' was emitting a divine light and carried an extremely powerful sealing power.
Roars and roars of ancient beasts could be heard.
Accompanied by chanting, the talisman characters engraved on the bone arrow were emitted.
Solemn!
Immortal!
Indestructible!
Great!
Supreme-Being!
These words.
None of them could perfectly explain the power of the bone arrow!
"This bone arrow … actually killed and sealed this demon with monstrous demonic aura … How powerful is it?!" One of the generals said in shock.
"This bone arrow contains a power that can make the mountains and rivers tremble … It was shot by the most powerful Devil Hero … I … I don't know who the owner of the bone arrow is … However, he must be the most powerful expert on the Devil Hero Ranking … Who is he?" Nangong Ye's eyes revealed an expression of searching his guts and guts.
Suddenly, his voice trembled. "Could it be … could it be him …"
In the middle of the group.
"Such a powerful force!
That bone arrow contained the mighty power to suppress the heavens!
No wonder the demon heroes of the Blazing Sun Empire didn't dare to pull the arrow out after so many years! "Hu Chenghe guarded the princess's carriage with all his might.
"The demon egg is spinning faster and faster!
This represents the fluctuation of a demon's life!
The supreme demon on the stone pillar is not a demon corpse, but … it's alive!
That demon … seems to … come back to life at any time! "Xiao Han calmly urged his horse forward and approached the edge of the plaza!
… …
… …
… …
Outside the ghost town.
Hundreds of Flood Dragon Horses stopped outside the city.
There were also hundreds of strong Mortal Body Realm martial artists riding ordinary horses behind the Flood Dragon Horses.
The one in the lead was the bald, one-eyed man. Streams of true energy rushed out of his head, and a snake head poked out. It flicked its forked tongue in and out, wantonly emitting a bone-chilling light.
Behind the one-eyed man, there was a scholar, a short man, a white-clothed man, Da Ximao, and a triangular-eyed woman.
All of them were like wolves and tigers, waiting for something.
"Nangong Ye and the others have entered the city." The one-eyed man's voice was hoarse. "I wonder if that supreme demon can break the seal."
"Leader, if that demon awakens and fights with Nangong Ye, then we will attack from behind and snatch the dowry and the princess.
I can't wait anymore. "The white-clothed man, Da Ximao, rubbed his hands and said.
… …
… …
… …
At the ghost town plaza.
"Something's wrong!
This demon doesn't seem to be completely dead! "
Nangong Ye finally found a clue. "My true qi detected an extremely weak life fluctuation of the demon!"
"What?
It's still alive? "Many of the deputy generals were terrified.
At this moment!
"Weng!!!!
Weng!!!!
Weng!!!! "
The bone arrow trembled!
"It moved!
Unbelievable!
It actually moved! "A deputy general pointed at the right shoulder of the 'demon corpse'.
"General, it moved!"
"Wu ~ ~ ~ ~" A demon wind blew.
Its hair began to flutter in the wind.
"Ugh ~ ~ ~ ~"
A long and hoarse voice came from the 'demon corpse'.
No one could describe the evil and cruelty of this voice.
Then, the demon corpse moved!
It raised its withered right hand.
It raised it for a while, then softened. It raised it again, then drooped again.
Finally, it raised its right hand and grabbed the bone arrow.
It actually wanted to pull the bone arrow out!
In an instant, the runes engraved on the bone arrow began to burn. Golden light shone brightly, and rays of light and auspicious qi soared into the sky. Clouds were steamed, and a loud divine voice was heard!
"Ah!!!!!" The demon corpse let out a painful scream, as if it had suffered a great injury.
Endless demonic clouds covered the sky. The demonic qi in the city was swallowed like a whale, and all rivers flowed into the demon corpse!
"Roar!!!!" A deep demon roar was heard. It was trying to pull the arrow out!
"Demon race … stop struggling on your deathbed!
You must be the most powerful existence in the demon race. You might be a top-notch Demon General, or even … a Demon Sovereign.
The bone arrow did not kill you completely, so you've been trying to break free from it for the past ten years. Unfortunately, you've stumbled into me, Nangong Ye!
Die!
Die completely! Perish! "Nangong Ye suddenly made his move!
He reached out his right hand, and a true energy palm the size of a few acres hit the demon corpse!
The True Inferno Qi was boiling, the light was like the sea, the true fire was like the tide, and the talisman was released!
At this moment!
"Buzz!"
A talisman enshrouded in demonic aura appeared in the air and imprinted itself onto Nangong Ye's palm made of Qi, causing the palm, which was moving at a speed faster than the speed of sound, to freeze in mid-air, unable to advance any further!
The next moment!
"Pfff!"
It finally pulled out the bone arrow that had been sealed for ten years!
"Roar!!!"
A demon roar that was several times more violent than before burst out!
The ground in all directions cracked, the houses collapsed, and the void was shaking!
"Ga … I … I finally … finally broke free …
This … this damned seal … "
It raised its head.
It had a pair of eyes that emitted a monstrous demonic qi!
It was a pair of dark green demonic eyes. Demonic runes were flickering in the eyes.
"I'm going to eat you … I'm going to eat you!"
It roared.
