Chapter 748 – The Head of Lou Hou (Part 2)
You’ll rue the day you did this!
the enraged Scarlet Emperor scathingly remarked.
As long as he managed to escape, Scarlet Emperor would divulge the Navagraha tribe’s secrets to the Eastern Immortal Tribe, even if the cost was his being sealed for life. The price would be worth it as long as the entire Navagraha tribe was exterminated throughout Heaven Realm.
Nonetheless, if Navagraha Queen had ordered the Navagraha tribe to kill just Yue Yang and Zhi Zun, that might have been possible for them to accomplish. But, where did the Navagraha tribe get the confidence to think that they could kill all of their companions as well?
Now, wasn’t the Navagraha tribe trying to use him and Ancient Demon King as sacrificial lambs in their bid to return to power? Scarlet Emperor wasn’t going to allow this to happen. Ancient Demon King, that guy wouldn’t stand for this sort of thing either. Neither of them was the kind of person that would allow themselves to be manipulated in this way. That kind of shame was something neither could endure.
The Guardian Divine Shield [Silver], a 4 Star – Divine Equipment, appeared in front of Scarlet Emperor. The bizarre looking silver disc, embedded with ancient runes, was able to block Navagraha King’s attack.
Ancient Demon King rushed towards Navagraha Queen, but he hadn’t anticipated that two golden rays of light would fly out from within her eyes. One ray pierced through Ancient Demon King’s arm, the other ray penetrated Zi Guang’s chest leaving behind a huge hole.
No!
Ancient Demon King’s heart was broken. If he still had his original body, if he hadn’t abandoned the human body of the 3rd son of the Yue Clan during his fight against Yue Yang, he wouldn’t be in this kind of trouble. Now, was he so weak that he couldn’t even properly defend himself from one of Navagraha Queen’s attacks?
Meanwhile, the seriously wounded Zi Guang smiled at Ancient Demon King, just like Ye Xiao had a few moments before he had chosen to die in an effort to delay Navagraha Queen. As blood trickled down from one corner of his mouth, he shouted,
Your Majesty, go!
Scram, damn it!
Then, Zi Guang lunged towards Navagraha Queen with the sole purpose of sacrificing himself to allow Ancient Demon King enough time to get away, just like Ye Xiao had done.
Even if his efforts wouldn’t make much of a difference, even if he failed to harm Navagraha Queen, he felt that it was better to stop her for a second than to do nothing at all. He knew he was doomed to die, so he could only hope that his decision would allow his majesty, Ancient Demon King, to survive.
Ancient Demon King growled bitterly, he understood the feelings inside Zi Guang’s heart. He glanced at Zi Guang once more before he left him, transporting to where Yue Su stood. Ancient Demon King immediately moved in front of him, using his own body to block what would have been a fatal blow. Next, Ancient Demon King protected Yue Su using his ancient war beast, Skeletal Bone Trap, then threw them tens of thousands of meters away.
Earlier, when Ancient Demon King had wanted to save Bei, he found out that Bei had already been killed by a single blow from Navagraha Queen’s guardian beast, Wu. Now, as he turned and looked at Zi Guang, he saw that Navagraha Queen had already crushed his head before he could blow himself up. Even his spirit had been ruthlessly destroyed.
Scarlet Emperor, I help you escape from here!
Ancient Demon King saw that Scarlet Emperor had been forced to retreat, one step after another, under the onslaught of Navagraha King’s attacks. Gritting his teeth, he wasn’t going to run away. He had decided to help Scarlet Emperor who could use the Guardian Divine Shield to protect himself. He was certain that this sentient piece of divine equipment would turn the tide of the battle against the Navagraha tribe.
Don’t be foolish. I don’t need your support. Go take care of Zhi Zun. Give her the time she needs to return and pay them back with interest.
Scarlet Emperor didn’t appreciate Ancient Demon King’s offer of help. He believed that the best way forward was for Zhi Zun to recover as soon as possible, so she could launch a counterattack on Navagraha Queen. There were still two of Zhi Zun’s [Black Bullets] that remained intact inside Navagraha Queen’s head.
Scarlet Emperor surmised that Navagraha Queen would recover soon, but she wouldn’t be able to remove Zhi Zun’s [Black Bullets] , no matter how powerful she was. The [Black Bullets] were being temporarily suppressed by Navagraha Queen’s power. The longer this suppression lasted, the longer they stayed in her head, the more devastating the damage would be. As long as Zhi Zun was allowed to recover she would be able to detonate those [Black Bullets], inflicting heavy damage on Navagraha Queen. It was even possible that the dual explosions would kill her.
Damn fate!
Ancient Demon King uttered a bitter cry of impotence. Now the enemy he had always desired to kill had become the very thing he had to protect. Why did it turn out to be like this? This situation was absurd. Fate had played a ruthless joke on him!
Tens of thousands of meters away, Yue Su was still being protected by White Bone Cage. They were just about to enter Ancient Demon King’s grimoire when Navagraha Queen’s silk ribbon caught up with him. It wrapped itself around his waist, like a snake. He thought that, in the next second, Navagraha Queen would stand before him and kill him, just like she was stepping on an ant.
Yue Su roared, drew out his sword and cut off the lower half of his body at the waist. When Navagraha Queen saw that the lower half of his body had been severed, she shook her end of the silk ribbon. The ribbon, which was still wrapped around Yue Su’s lower body, conveyed a devastating shock wave from her to him. The shock wave destroyed Yue Su’s lower body, then continued onwards to crush a mountain behind him into fly ash[.
Yue Su hasn’t died yet. In the future, Ancient Demon King will send people to guard him. He wants to see his people live, and he wants to see our people die.
Navagraha Queen’s complexion changed slightly, Yue Su had escaped from her clutches, and that caused her to feel ill.
What a loathsome old hag!
After the Qilin girl witnessed Navagraha Queen’s frenzied slaughter, Bing Yin’s face turned red with fury. She had never seen such a brazen hussy. If she hadn’t gone to heal Yue Yang and Zhi Zun, she would have done something to stop her. However, both of them were in danger of dying, so she needed to stay beside them to treat their wounds—and to protect them.
[Dragon Power-God’s Fist]
The Hornless Dragon lady, Jiang Li had slept in chaos before as she was still in the process of merging all the powers she had recently received. Nevertheless, when she became aware that Yue Yang was in danger, she couldn’t stop herself from rushing out to help. She had not yet fully integrated the divine powers of the Dragon God Sovereign, so she couldn’t fully control them yet.
After Jiang Li released [Dragon Power-God’s Fist], everyone in White River Valley felt the invisible pressure as if there was a huge hand in the air which had the power of life and death. As this was happening, Zu and Wu were about to attack the Qilin girl, who was currently healing Yue Yang and Zhi Zun, but their movement slowed down due to the pressure. Ika and Duo Duo, who hadn’t been affected by Dragon Will, took the chance and fought them back.
Rumble!
On the other hand, Xiao Wen Li transformed into the Golden Serpent Demon. She stretched out her six hands and knocked into the golden statue above Navagraha Queen’s head, which covered nearly all the sky.
In the remote valley, that Loli, who had just defeated Mountain Ridge Giant, seemed to sense the danger, then she returned desperately across several mountains.
The golden statue of Navagraha Queen confronts the Golden Snake demon incarnated by Xiao Wen Li. The dual-purpose Navagraha Queen, whose human body is faster than lightning, rushes to the bloody altar.
The golden statue of Navagraha Queen confronted the Golden Golden Serpent Demon. While Navagraha Queen kept another eye on the blood-red altar, so she rushed towards the blood-red altar at a speed faster than lightning.
Her target was clear, Yue Yang.
No matter how many Guardian Spirit Beasts Yue Yang had and no matter how powerful his Guardian Spirit Beasts were, he himself was a weak point. As long as Yue Yang was killed, then all his Guardian Spirit Beasts would die together. Even if she had to pay a high price, Navagraha Queen wanted to kill Yue Yang first. If Yue Yang died, Zhi Zun would lose her strong assistant, then she would also be doomed to failure.
Kill!
Yue Yang knew that this was the critical time for Zhi Zun to recover. If Zhi Zun had been influenced by the outside force, then it was extremely difficult for him to kill Navagraha Queen and Navagraha King alone.
He jumped up and faced Navagraha Queen.
[Eternal Wheel] Domain of Power and World-Exterminating Wheel came out at one go. In an instant, Navagraha Queen stopped [Eternal Wheel] Domain of Power and slowed it down as slow as a turtle crawling.
However, when Yue Yang was about to release the World-Exterminating Wheel off, an extremely dangerous feeling stroke him. There was not enough time to remind Zhi Zun, so he reached out and held Zhi Zun and Bing Yin in his arms escaped. Behind Navagraha Queen slowly emerged a head.
That head was very different from the ordinary people’s, with three eyes and black flame as its beard.
Even though none of them knew how long he had died, it opened mouth as soon as it appeared and wanted to swallow the sky.
The Head of Luo Hou!
Ancient Demon King was greatly shocked, no wonder that she feared nothing with such a terrible ancient treasure at her back.
[1.] Coal fly ash (CFA), a solid residue produced in the coal-fired power plants, has been the largest quantity of industrial solid waste in China. Now its annual output is estimated to be around 600 million tons. This has caused severe economic and environmental problems.
