Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 1892: Chapter 1877: The Old Man in Agony and Ecstasy

In the void, the elder’s figure was stumbling, yet his old face was filled with smiles, "Hehe, hehe, hehe!"

Bouts of "Haha" laughter emerged from the elder’s mouth.

The Seven-star Demigod Battle Skill, Battle Demon Slash, was so formidable. He hadn’t fully mastered it, yet it obliterated an Eight-star Demigod Realm Demon Clan Expert. If he fully comprehends this ultimate skill in the future, his battle power will be unimaginable and will absolutely surpass his current state!

The elder’s realm has already reached the Peak of the Seven-star Demigod Realm, and this battle was the first time he crossed levels to kill an Eight-star Demigod Expert, making significant gains.

For a moment, the elder even sensed that the bottleneck that had troubled him for years had slightly loosened, and the obscure road ahead became a bit clearer.

And at this moment, the elder seemed to have truly run out of strength, his swaying body plummeting violently downward.

"Oh, no." On the Demon Skull, Qingg Yan, who had been standing by Shi Feng’s side protecting him, saw the elder falling and quickly let out an astonished cry.

Immediately afterward, a snow light shone from Qingg Yan’s body, and at the same time, a snowy light also shone on the elder’s body.

The snow light shone brightly, and the elder’s falling body instantly stopped. At this moment, Shi Feng, who was sitting cross-legged on the Demon Skull, suddenly opened his eyes.

Immediately, the two halves of Demon Luo’s body, which were falling down, violently spurted blood toward the Demon Skull. Then Shi Feng closed his eyes again, continuing to enter a state of enlightenment.

The surging red blood, the Power of Death, and Soul Power were quickly absorbed into the Blood Stone Stele by Shi Feng. Under the power of Qingg Yan, the elder also floated back onto the Demon Skull, floating back beside Shi Feng.

"Thank you, Miss Qingg, for your intervention!" The elder looked at Qingg Yan, respectfully cupped his hands, and thanked her.

At this moment, the elder, facing this Miss Qingg who had an inexplicable connection with the Demon Lord, no longer had the ruthlessness he had when facing enemies earlier, replaced by a kindly, elder-like amiability on his face.

"You’re welcome," Qingg Yan replied.

However, she immediately noticed that the elder’s body trembled again, as if he was forcing himself to remain standing while thanking her. Now, deflated, he collapsed onto the Demon Skull.

Following that, a wry smile appeared on the elder’s old face as he smiled at Qingg Yan and said again, "I fear that old me can no longer protect my lord and Miss Qingg now."

"No worries!" But at this moment, the elder and Qingg Yan suddenly heard a young, calm male voice. Shi Feng, though still with eyes closed, spoke up.

"My lord!" Hearing Shi Feng’s voice, the elder’s body trembled, trying to kneel before him, but realized he truly had no strength left to move.

"Don’t move unnecessarily," Shi Feng said again.

"You focus on healing, we’ll continue our journey. If anyone else seeks death and comes, I’ll personally send them to their end."

After saying this, Shi Feng said nothing more, the previously halted Demon Skull due to enemy assault suddenly surged into motion, zooming rapidly ahead.

"Understood, my lord!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, the elder immediately responded respectfully.

Since "he" said this, the elder had nothing more to worry about; after all, "he" was an invincible existence.

Afterward, the elder retrieved three pills of golden, silver, and cyan colors from his Storage Bone Ring and swallowed them into his mouth, then began to concentrate on recovering from his injuries.

On the Demon Skull, only Qingg Yan remained standing. Though Shi Feng said he would act the next time an enemy appeared, Qingg Yan did not lower her guard, her delicate face full of solemnity as she secretly activated the Ice Desolate Mirror to sense all directions.

...

Behind the Demon Skull, in the void keeping a distance from the Demon Skull, the Demon Race girl Daiqi observed the stopped Demon Skull moving again and quickly ordered her Golden Spirit Demon Dragon to fly fiercely, maintaining distance and catching up.

At this moment, Daiqi’s beautiful eyes were not only fixed on the young figure akin to a Demon God but also began gazing at the silhouette of the elder.

Earlier, Daiqi felt that this old servant was not simple, but now, she never expected just how powerful he was, having even killed Demon Luo.

The Demon Clan Expert, Demon Luo, was someone Daiqi had heard legends about since she was young, a renowned presence in Myriad Prison Demon Land, and a hero in the hearts of countless young girls. She never expected he would be killed by this elder.

During the elder’s fight earlier, Daiqi also went through several battles herself, more aptly described as launching several sneak attacks.

The emerging Demon Clan individuals intended to rescue their New Princess Consort from the demon clutches, yet they never expected their New Princess Consort to suddenly turn against them.

Several Demon Clan members wondered before dying whether they had saved a fake Princess Consort.

Daiqi was relatively fortunate that the Demon Experts who arrived were ones she or the Golden Spirit Demon Dragon could stealthily kill instantly; none were Six-star Demigods or stronger.

At this moment, she was grateful that if Demon Luo hadn’t gone to battle the old servant earlier and instead tried to "save" her directly, she might have once more tread that miserable path.

That "person" had already said he had intervened for her once, and wouldn’t do so again.

"No way! If a powerful being I can’t handle appears next, I’ll be taken away by him; I must find a way to win his favor again!"

Saying this inwardly, Daiqi’s eyes refocused on the dark figure, her mind secretly calculating how to regain his favor.

Only under his protection could she have greater hope of escaping Myriad Prison Demon Land and choosing the life she wanted, the person she truly loved.

...

The Demon Skull sped swiftly, and as time passed, more and more Demon Clan individuals appeared again. The elder was still recovering, Shi Feng remained motionless, still seemingly in a state of realization.

But those Demon Clan individuals who appeared were instantly turned to ash by Instant Teleportation! Qingg Yan sensed through the Ice Snow Mirror that it was the Demon Skull beneath them that unleashed a Supreme Power.

These Demon Clan individuals couldn’t withstand the Demon Skull’s power.

However, the Demon Race girl Daiqi secretly believed that although the incomprehensible person sat motionless, those Demon Clan individuals who perished instantly must have been invisibly destroyed by him.

"Kill!" At this moment, Daiqi suddenly let out a soft cry, and the tail of the Golden Spirit Demon Dragon under her suddenly swung violently.

"Ah!" A cry of agony and astonishment echoed, as the Demon Race warrior couldn’t understand why the Princess Consort would attack, coming to rescue her.

"Could it be the Princess Consort thought those wicked Human Clan individuals ahead attacked her and ordered the Golden Spirit Demon King to retaliate? Unaware that I..."
