Chapter 45: The Price of Escape
The demon king's blow directly knocked the two of them from mid-air into the dense forest.
The wind howled past her ears, and Jian Lin was so shocked that she felt dizzy and smashed into the ground, becoming the Demon Lord's flesh pad.
She thought hiding behind the Demon Lord was a good choice, but she never thought she would fall down like this.
"I, I," Jian Lin said at a loss for words, "I'm dead, I'm going to die, Lord Demon Lord, get up quickly."
When she opened her eyes, she saw tall dense forest branches and could smell the burning smell of the trees. She weakly pushed the Demon Lord's shoulders and wailed, "I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to vomit. Get up quickly."
The Demon Lord moved slowly, turned his body to one side, glanced at Jian Lin, and spit out a mouthful of blood without saying a word.
"Lord Demon Lord!" Jian Lin shouted urgently, and with difficulty, he hugged the Demon Lord's shoulders, "Are you okay? Is it serious?"
Before the Demon King could speak, the leaves rustled and a sudden wind came. The Demon King suddenly landed and stood opposite them. His voice was full of burning anger, "Hand over the high priest! I will spare your life!"
Jian Lin put the jade bell into the Qiankun bag with his backhand, pretending to be stupid with a frightened look on his face, "I don't know, what does it have to do with us? Maybe the high priest ran away on his own, Demon King, you might as well go and chase after it."
"Nonsense!" The Demon King took a step forward, bringing with him a murderous and oppressive feeling, "I can see clearly, it's you who caused the trouble. If you don't release him, I will definitely cut you into pieces!"
Jian Lin swallowed. To be honest, he was frightened by the Demon Emperor's madness, but he could not give in no matter what. Letting the high priest out and asking him to help the Demon Emperor would only make the matter more serious.
Serious and more serious, weigh and compare, you can only choose the one that is slightly better.
"I really don't know!" Jian Lin gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to kill him, kill him. I just don't know. If you want to find him, go find him yourself. Don't ask me!"
The Demon King's disheveled hair stood up like burning flames. Even though he was wearing a mask, Jian Lin seemed to see an angry and twisted face.
"Don't tell me, right?" The Demon Emperor stretched out his hand, yanked forward, and strangled the Demon Lord's neck. "If you don't tell me, I will kill him!"
Jian Lin was panic-stricken, staring at the peaceful body of the Demon Lord, and was frightened.
Let me go, is the injury real or fake? Why did her Lord Demon suddenly die?!
She staggered to her feet, straightened her chest and said, "I really don't know. Even if you killed him, I still don't know."
The Demon King stopped talking nonsense and formed a long sword in his hand. With a swish sound, it was inserted directly into the Demon Lord's abdomen.
There was blood dripping, and the Demon Lord only twitched twice, and soon his neck tilted and he died.
Jian Lin became more and more suspicious. She argued carefully. That slender figure was obviously the Demon Lord, but why did he suddenly become so weak?
It would be fine if it was false, but if it were true, could she watch the Demon Lord die?
The Demon King held the hilt of the sword and said viciously, "Are you still stubborn? Then I will be merciful and cut out his golden elixir for you to see."
The sound of the sword cutting through flesh and blood was extremely loud, and as more and more blood came out, Jian Lin was frightened. This, this, this... really didn't seem to be fake.
"Stop," Jian Lin called out with a pale face, "The high priest is in my hand. Let him go and I'll tell you."
"Scheming human, do you think I will believe you?" The Demon King said bitterly, "You speak first, otherwise my hand will not stop."
"Don't!" Jian Lin unconsciously took two steps forward, "I'll replace him! If you arrest me, if I don't tell the truth, you'll kill me. Is that okay?"
"Human beings are really weird. In your eyes, is his life more important than your own?" The Demon Emperor was doubtful, and kept moving, throwing away the Demon Lord with one hand, and at the same time, he caught Jian Lin in front of him, "Tell me what you want.
,I am waiting."
This was the first time for Jian Lin to observe the Demon Emperor at such a close distance. The discomfort made her skin crawl all over. The hand holding her neck was slippery and cold, reminding her of a slimy mollusk.
"Demon King, the high priest told me a lot about you. We have a good relationship. He has actually had enough of you for a long time. I helped him escape this time." Jian Lin calmly sowed discord, "Of course I can treat you
You say where he has gone, but he will be unhappy if he finds out, are you determined to chase him?"
The Demon King was silent and suddenly laughed sarcastically, "This is what you humans would do. Unfortunately, the high priest never lies. If he wants to leave, he will definitely say it frankly and won't let you tell me that I
I won’t believe it.”
"I know a lot about him. I know that he has never been a master. He practiced by himself by reading sword manuals. Because of his poor strength, serious injuries, and no money for medical treatment, he ended up like this," Jian Lin said clearly every word.
Said, "He was forced to swallow the demon pill. He hates everything now, including you!"
True or false, Jian Lin mixed it up, feeling the Demon Emperor's hand holding her gradually tremble, and he was indeed shaken.
"No," the Demon King gasped and denied loudly, "No! You are all talking nonsense! Ah——"
Jian Lin covered her ears, her eardrums hurting from the sound. She was now extremely sure that the Demon King was crazy.
While dodging in a panic, she suddenly realized that a sharp figure was coming from behind the Demon King. It was the Demon King!
She knew that body was fake!
The Demon Emperor was so confused that he didn't even notice the Demon Lord's sneak attack. The sharp sword broke through the barrier and plunged straight into the Demon Emperor's body with a pop, penetrating from the back to the abdomen, inflicting a fatal wound.
He suddenly stopped speaking, and let go of Jian Lin with his hand. Jian Lin fell to the ground, rolled and crawled back, trying his best to stay away from the Demon Emperor.
The Demon King slowly turned around, suddenly exhausted, he knelt down on one knee and looked up at the Demon Lord, "He has always advised me not to kill you, but to be patient for the sake of the grand plan. Now it seems that he is right, I shouldn't touch you."
, It’s a pity that everything is too late, there is no turning back, even if it is the wrong road, I will go on.”
The Demon Emperor was talking a lot, but Jian Lin didn't quite understand it. She looked at the Demon Lord, and it was obvious that the Demon Lord didn't understand much either.
What is right, what is wrong, and what is the big plan?
The Demon Lord said coldly, "Demon King, there is no need to talk nonsense. It's a legitimate duel. I won. You are my loser."
The Demon King lowered his head and smiled sarcastically, "Winning or losing doesn't matter, I just want you to die!"
Following the sound of the word "death", the Demon King's body suddenly erupted with extremely powerful demonic power, and bursts of demonic wind blew the dense forest to and fro, and the wind and sand gathered, making Jian Lin unable to open his eyes.
In the haze, the Demon King drew out the deadly long sword, raised his hands high, and his burly figure kept flashing. What was he going to do?
Jian Lin's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and suddenly a familiar breath approached. The Demon Lord hugged her and quickly flew away.
"Lord Demon Lord, what happened?" Jian Lin had a bad premonition, but didn't know what happened.
"It's the Demon King who is about to break through." Demon Lord said in a deep voice.
Jian Lin still remembers that the Demon King is at the eighth level of the Divine Transformation stage. If he breaks through to the ninth level, he will be only one step away from transforming into a god and transcending the tribulation.
She suddenly understood the Demon King's words that victory or defeat was not important, he only wanted the Demon Lord to die.
Without the Dragon Pill, the Demon King must have been suppressing his cultivation for fear of the thunder catastrophe coming. Now he no longer suppresses it and breaks through forcefully, just to gain strength and kill the Demon Lord.
At the same time, this also shows that the Demon Emperor's mind is even more determined than ever before, and he wants them to die.
Jian Lin was really scared. She turned back to look at the Demon Lord and asked tremblingly, "Let's run away quickly. Are we unable to defeat him?"
The Demon Lord glanced at her and said coldly, "I'm running away."
Jian Lin trembled all over and began to feel annoyed, "I, I, I, shouldn't I offend him?"
"You are so cowardly. If you provoke me, I will provoke you," Demon Lord said nonchalantly. "As a member of my Demon Sect, we are most afraid of looking forward and backward, and are timid. It is better to give up cultivation early and go home and be an ordinary mortal."
However, the Demon King's heroic words did not comfort Jian Lin, because the Demon King came directly to kill them, swatted the two of them away with one palm, and attacked vigorously.
Jian Lin fell continuously and realized a serious problem. After the Demon King went crazy, his combat power doubled.
It was the darkest moment before dawn, and the demonic power erupted by the Demon King was like lightning, lighting up the sky from time to time.
He is not afraid of getting hurt, he just stares at the Demon Lord to attack, as if they will both die together.
Jian Lin was left far behind and watched helplessly as the Demon Lord was beaten to a mountain peak, and then in the next moment, the entire mountain peak disappeared!
What a terrifying power this was. Jian Lin chased after him, only to see the Demon King raising the boulder, preparing to use unparalleled power to hit the Demon King who was at a disadvantage.
Jian Lin was extremely convinced that this time it was really over.
She chased after him and leaned forward to block him in front of the Demon Lord. Her entire sight was occupied by the huge boulder. She turned back and said to the Demon Lord, "It's worth dying together in this life. I'll look for you in the next life!"
In the darkness, she couldn't see the Demon Lord's expression clearly, but she could only feel the Demon Lord's emotions through the power on her wrist.
He raised his arms to hug her and said in her ear, "For the sake of your words, I will give you a ride first to save you the pain of death."
The corner of Jian Lin's mouth twitched. This man really wouldn't be able to say a romantic word of thanks until he was about to die.
Oops, forget it.
Just as she closed her eyes and prepared to receive the Demon King's gift, suddenly a strong white light burst out in mid-air, shattering the boulder in the Demon King's hand.
what is that?
Jian Lin opened his eyes and saw a small white dragon swimming in mid-air, fighting with the Demon King.
It's Xiao Li! She has transformed into her true form!
"No!" Jian Lin yelled heartbreakingly, "Xiao Li! Leave quickly!"
The words of the high priest appeared in Jian Lin's ears like a curse.
She claims to be the one who can modify the secrets of heaven, but she still can't change the outcome of Long Dan's appearance.
She saved Xiao Li, and Xiao Li fought against the Demon Emperor for her, but Xiao Li finally fell into the hands of the Demon Emperor.
Jian Lin wanted to rush over, but Demon Lord hugged her waist tightly, "Don't go, let's go!"
The Demon King took this opportunity and left quickly. Jian Lin watched helplessly as the little white dragon was grabbed by the Demon King's tail and knocked off another mountain with a swipe.
