Chapter 495 Capturing Gu Ruo
Despite wielding the knife with only one hand, Jiu Meng's aura was unstoppable.
She gripped a gleaming longsword tightly in her left hand, the blade flashing with a chilling light.
The moment she charged into the demon army, the once orderly and invincible demon army immediately fell into chaos.
Gu Ruo's gaze was fixed on the blue figure that flashed past like lightning in the demon horde. He raised his halberd high and then brought it down with the force of a thunderbolt.
"kill!"
In an instant, screams rang out one after another, and blood splattered everywhere.
Gu Ruo's halberd strike was incredibly powerful; wherever it went, the demon army was cut in two, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
A strong, pungent stench of blood immediately filled the battlefield, making one want to vomit.
However, Jiu Meng's pace did not slow down in the slightest.
The surviving demons were thrown into chaos.
Not only were the killing gods on the other side targeting them, but even their leader treated their lives like dirt. Who could they reason with?!
"Gu Ruo! Is this how you turn your blade against your own people?!"
Jiu Meng's mockery enraged Gu Ruo: "Don't get in my way, go and capture that female cultivator in the sky!"
The chaotic demon army suddenly found its leader.
The demon generals below Gu Ruo immediately took stock of their demon army: "Go! Let the lord deal with Jiu Meng!"
"Let's go to Heavenly Punishment City and capture that woman Xiu alive!"
A demon timidly asked, "Is that female cultivator the one who cut off Lord Jiu Meng's hand...?"
"She dared to cut off Lord Jiu Meng's hand, if we go..."
Before the demon could finish speaking, the leading demon general lashed out with his whip, shattering his head into pieces. Blood splattered onto the surrounding demon army, and terrified gasps immediately filled the air.
The demon general, who killed as easily as drinking water, coldly said, "First, Jiu Meng is not our master!"
"Secondly, in battle, those who disrupt the morale of their troops will be executed!"
"Those who are unwilling to come into the city with us to fight, I will send them on their way now."
The last sentence was said lightly, but all the demons have seen the lessons learned from the past.
Despite the chill in their hearts, whether they wanted to or not, they only had one path to follow to the end.
Yun Yici rode the light bird and floated quietly above the magnificent and solemn Heavenly Punishment City.
Through layers of clouds and mist, Jiu Meng and Gu Ruo were engaged in a fierce battle outside the city.
Jiu Meng and Gu Ruo's figures clashed and collided like lightning, locked in fierce combat.
Gu Ruo was surrounded by demonic energy, his figure was as tall as a mountain, and behind him, a ferocious and terrifying phantom of a demon god was faintly emerging.
He gripped a massive, jet-black demonic halberd tightly in his hand, each swing unleashing a howling gust of wind with astonishing power.
Wherever the demonic halberd passed, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting muffled explosions. The earth trembled violently, mountains collapsed, and dust billowed.
Jiu Meng's figure moved nimbly like a ghost, darting and leaping rapidly through the billowing smoke and dust like a blue lightning bolt.
The knife in her hand was completely at odds with her appearance; its violent flashes were as fierce and ruthless as a sudden storm, making it impossible for Gu Ruo to defend against.
Yun Yici narrowed her eyes and saw that on Gu Ruomo's originally indestructible body, shocking wounds began to slowly appear.
These wounds crisscrossed his body like a spider web, and blood gushed from them, dripping down and staining the ground beneath his feet red.
"Jiu Meng! You shameless woman! Let's see where you can hide!"
Gu Ruo's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, startling the demon army that was eager to breach the city.
Break through the city quickly! Otherwise, if Jiu Meng rushes towards them, Gu Ruo's halberd will come and take their lives!
The terrifying shadow of death descended like a giant black net, weighing heavily on every living demon.
This invisible yet incredibly heavy pressure caused their eyes to turn bloodshot instantly, as if they were about to bleed.
The demons, like enraged beasts, filled with despair and rage, recklessly charged with all their might toward the tightly closed city gate.
However, when they rushed to the city gate, what they saw shocked everyone – the city gate, which they had thought would be heavily guarded and impregnable, was now completely empty!
This unexpected discovery initially surprised the demons, but they quickly realized what was happening and were overjoyed.
They broke through the seemingly impregnable defenses effortlessly and stormed into the city.
"What's going on? There's nobody in the city?"
"It must be because Jiu Meng couldn't win the Demon's heart that all the demons have abandoned her! Quickly, capture that bird and that person to cultivate!"
Yun Yici chuckled softly, reached out and patted the light bird's head. The light bird tilted its head, then let out a soft cry and flew into the sky.
"Oh no, she's trying to run! Catch her!"
The leading demon generals quickly chased after Yun Yici.
The demon army, which had lagged slightly behind, were greatly encouraged when they saw the female cultivator fleeing in panic on her bird: "Charge!!"
The last of the demon army soldiers had just stepped into the city gate when they heard a noise behind them in horror.
He turned around and shouted, "The city gate is closed! Hey!! The city gate is closed!! Who closed the gate??"
However, his terrified screams were immediately drowned out by the excited howls of his companions, like a pebble falling into water, splashing silently.
Yun Yici, however, kept a close eye on the movements at the city gate.
The moment the city gates closed, she swiftly formed a magic seal with both hands.
In an instant, a strange light suddenly shone in the sky above Heavenly Punishment City. As the light gradually converged, a huge and invisible magic array slowly emerged, like a giant net that blotted out the sky, enveloping the entire Heavenly Punishment City.
Just then, the relentless and aggressive demon generals rushed up to Yun Yici.
The demon general at the head of the group had a ferocious expression on his face. He brandished his incredibly sharp demonic weapon, attempting to break through the defensive line.
However, when he crashed into the invisible magic array, it was as if he had hit an indestructible wall of copper and iron.
Immediately afterwards, a violent hurricane suddenly erupted from the magic circle, howling and sweeping in.
This gust of wind carried a devastating force, instantly engulfing the leading demon general.
A piercing scream echoed through the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the demon general was mercilessly shredded into dust by the sharp blades in the wind formation.
The horrific scene terrified the demon generals who followed behind, causing them to stop in their tracks and dare not take another step forward.
"what is that?"
"She's set up a magic circle! Run! The eye of the storm is coming down!"
"We'll be strangled by her! Did you see that? Even the Demon General's physical body couldn't withstand that wind!"
The leading demon general was still able to handle the situation calmly, but the demon army below, being low-ranking demons, became cowardly upon seeing their leader die a tragic death.
But even if they wanted to escape, the demon army that was last and closest to the city gate was left with nothing but despair.
The city gates are closed! We can't open them no matter what we do!
Gu Ruo, who was being held back by Jiu Meng, also saw the Heavenly Punishment City, which was surrounded by the wind formation.
He was so gloomy it seemed like he could drip water, and he cursed furiously, "What a bunch of useless trash!"
Despite this, Gu Ruo completely disregarded the deep wounds that Jiu Meng had just inflicted on her body and charged straight towards Tianfa City.
He swung his giant halberd fiercely, slashing down at the magic array covering the Heavenly Punishment City.
Gu Ruo roared, "Break!"
At this critical moment, a dazzling light shot out like lightning and blocked the magic array.
With a loud clang, the sword and halberd clashed violently, instantly unleashing a dazzling light that was almost blinding.
"Sect Leader Yun!"
The light faded as the magical artifact and the demonic artifact collided, revealing that resolute figure.
Jiu Meng never expected that Yun Yici would dare to withstand Gu Ruo's full-force attack and emerge unscathed. She stared in utter shock at the awe-inspiring white-robed female cultivator.
She had a vague premonition that if she hadn't first led Yun Yici into her dream that day, things would have been far worse than just losing her hand.
Gu Ruo also looked at the female cultivator who had suddenly appeared in shock.
"Who are you?"
On the day of their first encounter, Yun Yici did not make a move.
If I were to judge others by my own standards, I would only see this woman as a concubine of that demon and that monster.
Unexpectedly, this female cultivator was able to easily withstand his attack.
Yun Yici said, "The one who was to take your life, surrender now and I will spare your life."
Gu Ru sneered three times: "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"At this point, I cannot afford to lose. The loser dies!"
"You think you can win by keeping these bastards locked up in the city? Let me tell you, I have tens of millions of demonic troops behind me, and I can flatten this place in no time."
Yun Yici turned her head slightly and glanced at him with her cold and sharp eyes.
The next moment, a terrifying demonic pressure, as if it came from the deepest hell, suddenly erupted from the city like a surging tide!
This oppressive force was like an incomparably heavy mountain, carrying endless pressure and a sense of destruction, sweeping outwards with overwhelming force.
The arrogant and domineering demon generals in the city felt insignificant in the face of this terrifying pressure.
Not to mention the low-level demons who are essentially consumables.
As the oppressive aura descended, the demons screamed in terror, but it was already too late.
Their bodies seemed to be held down tightly by an invisible giant hand, involuntarily kneeling on the ground, even their heads were lowered deeply, and they dared not raise them at all.
Some of the weaker demons collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, completely powerless to resist.
Within the city, there lived a demon who was in no way inferior to him!
Yun Yici: "See? You can call as many underlings as you want, but they're all ours now."
"Don't think that besides Jiu Meng, there are others who will indulge you."
Gu Ruo's face instantly twisted: "Nine Dreams!"
"That demon is still alive?"
Jiu Meng sneered, "What? You think I killed him?"
"I never had the intention of becoming the sole king of the demon race."
"It's because you've been pushing me so hard that I'm acting this way."
Gu Ruoyuan's original intention was to take advantage of the situation where Jiu Meng and that group of people would both be severely injured in their fight.
He never expected that after Jiu Meng lost one of her hands, they would still be able to join forces against him.
Gu Ruo quickly assessed the strength of both the enemy and himself.
He thought to himself that he should leave quickly while the strange fire demon cultivator had not yet shown himself.
Today's frustration drove Gu Ruo to the brink of madness!
He had never suffered such a humiliation in his entire life!
Gu Ruo's exposed arm muscles were taut, veins bulging, and the demonic halberd spun rapidly in the air, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind.
Jiu Meng rushed to Yun Yi Ci's side immediately, trying to share the burden with her.
To her surprise, a dense demonic aura surged forth from the enormous body of the solitary demon and quickly spread outwards.
As the demonic energy was drawn away from his body, Gu Ruo's body began to shrink rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, this demonic energy transformed into several clones identical to Gu Ruo, which sped off in different directions.
Each clone wielded a demonic halberd, exuding a menacing aura that sent chills down one's spine.
"Oh no, he's going to run away."
Jiu Meng panicked and spotted the closest clone and charged straight at it.
Her fierce slash only struck a wisp of demonic energy.
After being dispersed by Jiu Meng, the demonic energy split into two Gu Ruo and continued to flee forward.
"How shameless!"
Even Jiu Meng, who is usually good-tempered, got angry.
Shen Huaichuan, who had been observing the battle from within the city, transmitted his voice: "Imperial decree from the northwest!"
Before Jiu Meng could react, a dazzling flash of fire suddenly streaked across the sky.
She looked up in astonishment and saw a huge and terrifying fire prison falling rapidly like a meteor!
The raging flames seemed to devour everything, carrying suffocating heat and violent energy as they hurtled straight toward the northwest.
In the blink of an eye, the fire prison landed precisely there, trapping the three Gu Ruo clones who were trying to escape.
Above the fiery prison, a red-clad youth with a strikingly beautiful, almost demonic appearance sat there, leisurely observing the three clones of Gu Ruo that he had captured.
"Let's play a game."
"I'll randomly burn one of them to death and see if you or I are more lucky."
The emperor's appearance was captivating at first sight, and his words were more devilish than those of a demon.
Trapped in the fiery prison, Gu Ruo experienced terror for the first time in his life.
This fire...
What kind of fire is this?
What kind of demon race could possess such terrifying abilities?
"Wait! My lord! May I ask which demon race you belong to? I was captivated by your demeanor the day I saw you, and I only wish to follow you and serve you!"
The emperor said in a sinister tone, "So you were indeed captivated by my beauty, that you even painted me as a woman."
"It seems you are the real one. The other two are useless to keep, so burn them."
As soon as the imperial edict finished speaking, the other two Gu Ruozhong who hadn't spoken yet exclaimed in surprise, "My lord, I am the real one!"
"Could you please listen to me?"
"You have extraordinary talent, why are you being driven by that female cultivator?"
"If you spare my life today, I will help you ascend to the supreme position in the demon realm! From now on, I will obey your every command!"
"You are living a carefree life in the Demon Realm. Isn't that better than hanging out with this group of people?"
"Once I help you obtain the Demon Realm, the Demon Clan will be willing to assist your family in dominating the Demon Realm, and then unifying the Human Realm. From then on, all three realms will be yours."
Emperor Yao, far away in the realm of gods: ?
