Chapter 63 Greed for Life and Fear of Death
Rushing towards the depths of the Demon Emperor's Palace, Su Yie had slain over three hundred monsters, all with a single strike, causing them no pain.
Wux Qingyao was curious; she had thought Su Yie had sworn allegiance to the Demon Emperor, so why was he now slaying the Demon Emperor's soldiers?
Soon, they arrived at the end of the corridor, where a massive iron door stood, immensely thick.
With a slice of his sword, Su Yie found the iron door unyielding; the Sword Qi could not damage it at all.
Seeing this, Su Yie leaped forward, arriving in front of the iron door.
"Demon Lord, what are you doing? Keep the noise down!"
The Crimson Flame Lion King hurriedly reminded him, as any alert to the Demon Emperor would spell their doom.
Su Yie ignored him, raised his right fist, and struck out with a punch.
The Power of Two Hundred and Fifty Dragons poured out!
Like a fierce dragon crossing the river, unstoppable!
The heavy iron door was blasted open, crashing deep inside the palace, causing the Demon Emperor's Palace to tremble violently.
The Demon Emperor, who was fighting three strong members of the Human Clan, was startled and turned around, his eyes flashing with intense murderous intent as he realized someone had intruded into his palace.
Ye Zhonggang, with twelve small knives floating around him, took advantage of the Demon Emperor's distraction and swept his right hand, sending the twelve knives successively flying towards him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
The Demon Emperor hastily wielded his knife to block, successfully intercepting all the small knives.
Enraged, he lifted his right hand high, holding the Black Blood Blade as thunder and lightning furiously struck down upon it, sparking with bright light.
He swung his knife and with it, thunder followed, forming a blade of lightning that struck towards Ye Zhonggang and the other two.
Lu Yao leapt high to dodge the blade of lightning. He bellowed, and countless wronged spirits emerged from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, viciously attacking the Demon Emperor.
From a bird's-eye view, wronged spirits were wreaking havoc throughout Demon City.
The Demon Kings and the strong members of the Human Clan were also in disarray, engaging in a chaotic battle that had spread across the entire city, filled with the sounds of combat and rivers of blood.
Meanwhile, Su Yie was visibly overjoyed.
It wasn't just him; the Crimson Flame Lion King and Wux Qingyao also widened their eyes in amazement, especially the Crimson Flame Lion King, whose saliva was nearly dripping down.
Inside the inner hall, there were countless Spirit Stones, Magic Artifacts, and weapons piled up.
Su Yie, quick and alert, immediately started collecting them into the Repository of the Dao.
The Crimson Flame Lion King watched as the treasures continuously streamed into Su Yie's sleeves, his eyes filling with blood as he ached with longing.
"Hold back… hold back… the Demon Lord will share some with me…"
That was all he could do to console himself, while Wux Qingyao did not feel the same agony since she was not as attracted to worldly possessions and did not lack Spirit Stones in the Luoshui Sect.
Clack!
Just then, footsteps sounded, and the Demon Wolf Star appeared at the doorway.
Seeing everything inside the hall, his face instantly showed greed.
"Kid! Leave some for me!"
The Demon Wolf Star yelled, as he rushed forward, wanting to wrest the treasures from Su Yie.
Whoosh!
Su Yie swung his right hand fiercely, a cold light flared, and the Zhou Wu Sword shot directly at the Demon Wolf Star.
In an instant, the Demon Wolf Star's hair stood on end, and he immediately jumped away to dodge; however, the Zhou Wu Sword, as if sentient, flew back in an arc, continuing to pursue the Demon Wolf Star.
Cursing under his breath, the Demon Wolf Star gave up on the treasures and focused on evading the Zhou Wu Sword.
Seeing the bedraggled state of the Demon Wolf Star, Wux Qingyao's lips curled slightly.
Even the usually arrogant Demon Wolf Star within Emperor Su's Sect had such a day?
"You little brat! Leave some for me!"
The Demon Wolf Star cried out, seeing Su Yie about to finish collecting all the treasures, nearly causing him to break down.
But given that Su Yie was a prodigy valued by Emperor Su, he dared not make a fatal move.
Su Yie ignored him, the Demon Wolf Star only being an entity of the Fusion Heart Realm, his combat power was not considered strong, merely clever with the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps.
Soon, Su Yie had collected all the items into the Repository of the Dao.
"Awesome!"
Su Yie's face broke into a smile; these resources, once placed in Yaojian Mountain, would definitely help the mountain soar.
He turned around and climbed onto the back of the Crimson Flame Lion King, summoning the Zhou Wu Sword to his hand with a gesture. The Crimson Flame Lion King then sprinted towards the gate, matching the speed of the Demon Wolf Star, not slower in the least.
The agility of the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps of the Demon Wolf Star was primarily manifested in battle, whereas the Crimson Flame Lion King, despite its massive size, boasted explosive power and roamed unchallenged, not even the Demon Wolf Star dared to block its path head-on.
"You little brat, remember this!"
The Demon Wolf Star shouted furiously but dared not lay a hand on Su Yie.
With a bang!
The Demon Emperor's Palace suddenly exploded, the ceiling collapsed, startling the Demon Wolf Star so much that his face changed color, and then he was engulfed.
The corridor also shattered, with countless pieces of debris falling down.
"Damn!"
The Crimson Flame Lion King was massively startled and burst out with all its speed, as if it wished it had more legs.
Su Yie raised his hand to protect Wu Qingyao's head to keep her from getting hit.
The thunderous rumble—
Just as the Crimson Flame Lion King burst out of the Demon Emperor's Palace, the massive building also collapsed.
Bilowing dust rose from the edges of the Demon Emperor's Palace as if ascending to the heavens.
Like a cannonball, the Demon Emperor fell in front of Su Yie and the others, less than a hundred meters away, his feet crushing the ground on impact.
The Demon Emperor turned his head, and upon seeing Su Yie, his face dramatically changed.
Seeing the Demon Emperor, Su Yie was expressionless, but felt somewhat awkward inside.
The Crimson Flame Lion King almost peed itself.
"Thinking of escaping?"
Lu Yao roared, seen holding the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner as he swept down from the sky, as if he was not holding a banner but a ten-thousand-pound cauldron.
The Demon Emperor, not bothering to vent his anger on Su Yie, hurriedly dodged.
Ye Zhonggang and an elderly cultivator from the Qingyi Sect followed in pursuit, unleashing endless spells, dazzling Su Yie.
Though his strength was immense, he was not familiar with so many fancy spells.
"What are you waiting for? Want to die?"
Su Yie slapped the back of the Crimson Flame Lion King's head, causing it to cry out in pain, see stars, and hurriedly surge forward.
Wu Qingyao also looked around for her sect members with her eyes but didn't find them; perhaps they had already fled.
The Crimson Flame Lion King, scared by the Demon Emperor, burst forth even faster than before.
Before long, it had fled Demon City, crashing through trees and arriving at a lake, where it leapt with a spring of its body.
Its paws landed on a cliff, sending stones flying; it moved as if on flat ground, continuing upward.
Within just ten steps, it had leapt up the cliff and galloped away.
"Are you that afraid of dying?"
Su Yie couldn't help but comment, Wu Qingyao also somewhat speechless.
It was running too fast, right?
It had not been this fast even inside the Demon Emperor's Palace.
The Crimson Flame Lion King didn't respond, still charging forward.
"You've really angered me now!"
At that moment, the roar of the Demon Emperor thundered across the land, followed by violent trembling of the earth.
An unimaginably powerful oppressive force emerged from behind, even making Su Yie instinctively fear.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He looked back, seeing a column of Demon Qi rising from below Sunset Ravine, resembling a tornado coupled with rolling thunderclouds, akin to an apocalyptic storm.
"What is that?"
Su Yie thought to himself, realizing the Demon Emperor was stronger than he had imagined.
As he moved away from Sunset Ravine, in the blink of an eye, he saw that the mobile phone page in his mind displayed an invitation screen.
