Tales of Demons and Gods: After Locking Time and Space

Chapter 229: Comprehensive Retreat

Two spherical films wrapped around Longsha and Guisha. The two who had been continuously burned by the lava finally got a respite after two final sizzling sounds came out of their skin.

The Dragon Demon and the Ghost Demon bared their teeth. The burning sensation from the lava almost made them fall asleep forever. Now they finally had the strength to open their eyes.

Looking at the Demon Lord who was still entangled in the thick iron chains but easily saved the two of them, the two men once again felt infinite admiration in their hearts. After all, they had witnessed how tragically those people who were swallowed by the lava had died before, but now they were feeling lucky to have survived the disaster.

Ming shook his head. Longsha and Guisha didn't know, but he knew it clearly. The sacrifice process in the Black Flame Tower was extremely dangerous, and the Demon Lord was now forcing himself to save these two people. The Demon Lord would definitely suffer backlash.

As if to confirm Ming's thoughts, the platform at the top of the Black Flame Tower suddenly caught fire, burning so much that everything in sight began to distort.

What caused such a fierce fire was the surging magma on the platform!

At this time, they were shaking more and more violently on the platform, rolling, bubbling and bursting. The platform pumping out lava was like a brilliant firework blooming in the air, and deadly sparks fell like meteors, rushing towards the Demon Lord.

Because of the suppression from Ming, the Blind Man and Taoist Master Daozang, the Black Flame Tower seemed to be under some kind of suppression. The entire platform was roughly divided into four parts, but only the part close to the Demon Lord was constantly surging.

A faint whimpering sound came from the red to black platform, like the wail of the dead, or the clear sound of a divine instrument being cast, which made people tremble in their hearts.

Seeing that the Black Flame Tower was ready to move, the Demon Lord quickly formed seals with his hands, and a golden disc flew out of his hand, covering the restless lava. The moment the Dragon Evil and the Ghost Evil relaxed, a crisp sound came into his ears, and the seal formed by the Demon Lord was broken. The Black Flame Tower once again pumped out magma like heavy rain, all of which sprinkled on the Demon Lord.

Because his movements were restricted by the chains, the Demon Lord could not use all of his strength. At this moment, he could only block a portion of the magma sparks on the spot. The rest of the liquid dripped steadily onto the Demon Lord, like a food in the fire, bit by bit gnawing at the Demon Lord's pale skin and flesh.

Although the Demon Lord's expression remained unchanged, his aura had noticeably become weaker. Long Sha and Gui Sha then realized that it was not as easy as they had imagined for the Demon Lord to save them.

Under the double pressure of death and being protected, the two of them actually broke through the original shackles. Two powerful forces erupted with them as the center, and Longsha and Guisha broke through to the Wuzong realm!

It was obvious that the combat power of the Wuzong realm had no effect on the Demon Lord's current situation. There were already several holes on the Demon Lord's body, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

Longsha and Guisha looked at Ming and Daozang anxiously, but saw that Ming did not waver at all and still closed his eyes to stabilize the lava in front of him.

On the other hand, Daozang smiled and shook his head. He would die anyway. He had already deduced this. It was just a matter of time. Two bright spirits could not appear in the same time and space at the same time. Daozang's existence during this period of time was against the will of heaven!

The air molecules around Dao Zang suddenly stagnated, and countless points of light appeared out of thin air, illuminating the originally dark and depressing Black Flame Tower and all the people present. Their expressions were either indifferent, flustered, or smiling...

The stars quickly turned into a plane and covered the platform again. The rolling lava gradually calmed its original restlessness. The holes on the Demon Lord's body no longer increased. The other light spots condensed into pieces of flesh and blood, attached to the holes on the Demon Lord. The muscle tissue reconnected with the flesh and blood on the Demon Lord's body, filling all the gaps.

The Demon Lord looked at Daozang, but an emotion emerged in his heart that should not belong to him. This made him feel depressed, but he was powerless to smooth it out. This emotion had only appeared twice in his life. The first time was when his grandfather died. He was just a simple child at that time. It was also after that the Demon Lord appeared in this world.

"We just met by chance, why should you take my life?"

The demon lord was roaring in his heart, but he was powerless to speak. It was natural for him to save the dragon demon and the ghost demon, but why did Dao Zang save himself? Just because of his innate identity?

The Demon Lord and Daozang looked at each other for the last time. Daozang was still smiling. The lava on the Black Flame Tower was extremely calm, and the temperature around it no longer rose. However, every once in a while, a part of Daozang's body would disappear.

Ming didn't open his eyes, but he already knew what happened. He knew Daozang's fate, but he didn't expect it to happen here...

His eyes felt a little swollen, sore and wet, but the high temperature evaporated the tears before they could flow, and he only felt more sour.

The only one who has been with me all the way is Yu Yan, but I don’t know how much longer we can walk together in the future.

The light spot wrapped around the Demon Lord, as if pulling him away from this world. The Demon Lord stood in the center of the light circle. The only thing that didn't fit in was the iron chain wrapped around the Demon Lord. It was covered with rust and wrapped the Demon Lord like a silkworm cocoon.

Dragon Demon and Ghost Demon saw that the Demon Lord's expression had relaxed, and even doubted whether the person in front of them was still the Demon Lord. This was the first time they had seen the Demon Lord with such a natural expression in all those years.

"It seems that it is not yet time for the sage's body to be born." Ming adjusted his emotions and pretended to be calm. "Ming City will be completely blocked. You should leave."

Ming looked at Longsha and Guisha, and without waiting for them to say anything, their bodies were pulled outward by Ming's power. Although they resisted hard, they were ultimately no match for the power of Ming's one hand.

The Demon Lord seemed to be in a deep sleep. He had no reaction to anything happening in the outside world, as if nothing was happening in front of him at all.

"When will the Underworld City open?" Long Sha asked unwillingly.

"If you are still at the Martial Sect level, then even if the Underworld City is open by then it will have nothing to do with you." Ming gave the final advice, and the gate of the Underworld City was finally completely closed.

As Longsha and Guisha were out of the range of Hades City, they suddenly lost traction and fell to the ground before they could react, feeling extremely painful from the shock.

"Retreat."

"Retreat!"

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. They had never seen the Heavenly Dao Realm, but if they wanted to return to the Demon Lord, the Heavenly Dao Realm was the ticket.

"Since you don't have the ability to save them, why let them get involved in all this?" Ming was very puzzled and looked at the Demon Lord who was pretending to be asleep.

"After experiencing real life and death, there is always a world of difference between a flower in a greenhouse." The demon master slowly opened his eyes, "Besides, this is what he meant."

The Demon Lord turned his head and looked towards the place where Daozang was previously, although now only a circle of halo was still there.

"You mean that old guy Daozang is in a hurry to die!" Ming couldn't believe it. Daozang had lived with him for so many years, how could he die for two strangers!

"I don't know." The Demon Lord did not want to argue. He had guessed Ming's excitement, but he could not think of any words to comfort him.

"There are only two of us left to nurture the sage's body, and I cannot predict the time of his birth." Ming regained some of his rationality and thought about the current problem again.

"No, you are the only one left." The iron chains wrapped around the Demon Lord began to turn, gradually loosened, and retreated back into the Black Flame Tower.

"That's what he meant as well." The demon lord added, then he flew to a place some distance away from Ming and sat down, looking at him.

Since he had "fallen asleep" in front of the Dragon Demon and the Ghost Demon, he naturally had no choice but to continue staying in the Underworld City.

"We will definitely make it in time." The Demon Lord seemed to remember something and added, "This is what he meant."
