I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2161 Blood Demon King
The Dark Queen's body trembled violently, and her fingers clenched unconsciously under her black robe. An expression of disbelief appeared on her beautiful face: "My father?"

The Blood Demon King nodded with difficulty. The blood-colored armor on his body had long been broken, revealing the dense scars underneath. Those scars were not new, but marks left by the seal many years ago, each of which was deep enough to see the bone.

"Yes, your father." The Blood Demon King's voice was low and decadent. He slowly raised his hand, and a blood-colored jade pendant appeared in his palm. "He gave me this and said that as long as I stayed behind to cover the retreat, he would allow us to be together openly."

The Dark Queen stared at the jade pendant, her pupils suddenly shrinking. It was a token of love that she had carved with her own hands and gave to the Blood Demon King, and their names were engraved on it.

"Impossible," her voice trembled slightly, "Father clearly told me that you ran away alone because you were afraid of death."

The Blood Demon King smiled bitterly, and that smile contained the bitterness of nearly ten thousand years: "If I was afraid of death, how could I be sealed for ten thousand years?" He looked up at the Dark Demon King, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "Have you been well these years?"

The Dark Queen did not answer, her eyes became complicated. Thousands of years of resentment and the sudden revelation of the truth collided violently in her heart, making her unsure of how to face this man whom she once loved and hated deeply.

After a long silence, the Blood Demon King finally asked the question that concerned him the most: "Can you tell me how the child died?"

The Dark Queen's body stiffened for a moment, and a trace of deep pain flashed in her eyes: "She was killed by the Skyfire God King."

"That old man leading a group of evil spirits?" The Blood Demon King frowned, with murderous intent suddenly appearing in his eyes.

"No, the old God King has been missing for many years." The Dark Queen shook her head, her voice as cold as ice, "Now it is the new Skyfire God King Liu Jun."

"Liu Jun?" The Blood Demon King repeated the name in a low voice, as if he wanted to engrave it into his bones, "Why did he kill our children?"

The Dark Queen took a deep breath, her black robe fluttering in the wind. "Because I brought the Dark Army to the God Realm to find you, I was attacked by the people in the God Realm. He thought that your child and I were a hidden danger, so he used a lot of explosives to blow up the nest and our child."

When the Blood Demon King heard this, a huge blood light suddenly burst out from his body, and the whole space trembled. Two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes: "My son, what is his name?"

"Blood Shadow." The Dark Queen replied softly, with deep sorrow in her voice, "I named him Blood Shadow, hoping that he can grow up safely like a shadow."

The Blood Demon King howled to the sky, his howl filled with endless sorrow and anger. All creatures within a hundred miles were trembling in fear at the howl, and even the sky was stained with a layer of blood.

"Liu Jun." The Blood Demon King gnashed his teeth and said the name, "I want him to pay with blood!"

The Dark Queen looked at the violent Blood King with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Your strength has greatly decreased now. You can't even break this seal. How can you pay with blood?"

Hearing this, the Blood Demon King suddenly calmed down. He looked up at the Dark Demon King and said, "I have a way to remove the seal, but I need your help."

The Dark Queen was silent. Her resentment towards the Blood King was not something that could be immediately resolved by a misunderstanding, but the pain of losing her son was equally unforgettable.

"I can help you, but I don't know how," the Dark Lord said after a long time.

"Do you still remember the bead we found in the Netherworld Blood Sea of ​​the Ancient Demon Realm?" asked the Blood Demon King.

"Blood Demon Pearl?" exclaimed the Dark Queen, "But it has been taken by my father."

"Your father only got the shell." The Blood Demon King sneered, "The real Blood Demon Divine Pearl has been split into two halves by me. One half has been in your body, and the other half is in my body."

The Dark Queen looked at the Blood King in shock: "In me? How is that possible? There is nothing in my body at all."

A trace of tenderness flashed in the Blood Demon King's eyes: "When your father forced me to stay behind to cover the retreat, I had a bad feeling, so when we were together for the last time, I merged half of the Blood Demon Divine Pearl into your body. I didn't expect that this separation would last nearly ten thousand years.
The Dark Queen's expression became complicated. She slowly approached the Blood King and said, "Let me see."

The Blood Demon King did not refuse. He untied his tattered breastplate, revealing the position of his heart - there was half a blood-colored bead mark there, emitting a faint light.

The Dark Queen reached out and touched the mark, and a familiar temperature came from her fingertips. In an instant, the memories of a thousand years ago came flooding back like a tide - they met by the sea of ​​blood, fell in love in the shadows, and that love was opposed by both races but still persisted.
A faint light also appeared on her lower abdomen, echoing the half bead mark.

"Why?" The Dark Queen's voice trembled slightly, "Why didn't you tell me the truth earlier?"

The Blood Demon King smiled bitterly: "During the nearly ten thousand years that I was sealed, I tried to contact you countless times, but the seal here cuts off everything." He paused, "When I was finally able to control the blood mist outside, I found that there was no trace of the ancient demons around."

The coldness in the Dark Queen's eyes gradually melted, her slender fingers trembled slightly, and finally slowly touched the pale cheek of the Blood King. Instead, it was replaced by deep sorrow, which flowed over her delicate face like a tide and condensed into a crystal teardrop at the corner of her eye.

"I love you," she said in a voice as soft as a sigh, and then she gently hugged the Blood Demon King. That hug seemed to have used up all her strength.

At this moment, something strange happened. A dazzling blood light suddenly burst out from the Blood Demon King's chest, and the half bead flew out of his body, suspended in the air and slowly rotating. The surface of the bead was covered with fine cracks, and there seemed to be blood flowing inside.

Almost at the same time, the same light shone in the heart of the Dark Queen. She groaned, and the half bead in her body also broke free and flew out. The two half beads met in the air, making a crisp resonance sound, spinning around, and then fitting together tightly. Blood light flowed at the joint, and in a blink of an eye it became a complete blood-colored bead, with ancient magic patterns emerging on the surface. The whole palace suddenly shook violently, and the blood mist around it rolled wildly, making a sharp whistling sound, as if thousands of resentful spirits were cheering. The magic-locking chains on the twelve obsidian pillars in the palace moved without wind, and collided with a creepy sound.

The Blood Demon King's pale lips slightly opened, and the intact bead instantly turned into a blood rainbow and sank into his mouth. In an instant, blood began to appear under his gray skin, and his dry hair moved without wind.

"Crack—" The black iron chains that locked the Blood Demon King began to vibrate violently, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the surface. This strange palace that had been silent for a thousand years made a strange sound that made people's teeth ache. The sealed demon reliefs on the walls began to wriggle, and the stone eyeballs began to move strangely.

The Dark Queen stumbled back two steps, her black cloak fluttering in the bloody wind. She looked at the Blood Demon King whose power was rising rapidly, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Boom!" With a loud noise that shook the earth, the entire dome of the palace exploded. Countless blood-red light beams pierced the night sky like sharp swords, dyeing the entire sky into a weird scarlet. Broken glazed tiles poured down like a rainstorm, reflecting a strange light in the blood-red light beams.

Liu Jun and the others on the cliff were shocked by the sudden change and stumbled back. The strong wind, carrying the smell of blood, blew in their faces, making everyone's robes rustle.

"Well, let me ask, is it time to run away now?" Liu Jun grabbed the rock beside him tightly, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

Although he didn't know what was happening below, the suffocating feeling of oppression said it all - the guy below was definitely not a good guy, and there was a high probability that he was a big boss who could kill all of them with one slap.

"As the Heavenly Fire God King, can't you be a little braver?" Qing Yun snorted coldly, and her right hand was already on the hilt of the sword. Under the moonlight, the veins on her forehead were faintly visible, and it was obvious that she was not as calm as she appeared.

"I'm not brave at all. I'm afraid of death." Liu Jun curled his lips, but his eyes were fixed on the depths of the blood mist. "Besides, committing suicide and being brave are two different things. I suggest that we--"

Before he finished speaking, a red fireball with a diameter of three meters suddenly tore through the clouds and fell straight down with a long tail of flame. Wherever the fireball passed, the air was burned and distorted. It accurately smashed into the swirling blood mist, stirring up circles of scarlet ripples.

She said, “Fuck!” Liu Jun was shocked and almost slipped off the edge of the cliff. “What the hell is going on? Justice from heaven?”

Qing Yun's expression suddenly became serious: "No... there seems to be something in this fireball"

A deafening roar came from the bottom of the cliff, and the entire cliff began to shake violently. A huge silhouette gradually emerged from the blood mist, and two lantern-like scarlet eyes were looming in the mist.

Liu Jun swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and he slowly backed away. The soles of his boots crushed a few dead leaves, making a crackling sound. "Um... Is it too late for me to run away now?"

His intuition told him that a horrific battle was about to break out here, and a scum like him, who was at the early stage of Half-Step God King Realm, would easily die if he was just a hair's breadth away.

Qing Yun's long hair moved without wind, and strands of demonic energy were entangled with her fingertips. She sneered at the words, and her pupils shrank slightly: "It's too late."

"Bao'er, Yanli, you guys retreat first!" Liu Jun suddenly raised his voice and put his right hand on the Dark Sword at his waist, "I'll stay here with this Green Demon warrior to cover your retreat!"

He spoke with such righteousness, but he glanced in the direction of the cliff out of the corner of his eye and was ready to run away at any time.

Obviously, after Yan Li and Xu Baoer leave safely, he will run away as soon as possible. As for Qing Yun, well, he doesn't need to worry too much. After all, he is a powerful late-stage Half-Step God King.

A trace of surprise flashed across Qing Yun's face, and her delicate face almost couldn't hold back. She opened her red lips slightly, thinking that this boy was even more shameless than Xuan Tie from the ancient demon world.

Yan Li suddenly pressed Liu Jun's shoulders. The dancing flames at her fingertips illuminated her solemn expression. "Don't be nervous. Feel it carefully." She pointed to the surging red mist below the cliff. "The breath of that big fireball."

"Smell?" Liu Jun closed his eyes and suddenly smelled a familiar smell. This smell reminded him of the time many years ago when he got into trouble and was punished by his dog brother. He was shocked.

When he opened his eyes again, the firelight that was getting closer and closer was reflected in his pupils: "Oh my god! Is it my dog ​​brother who is here?"

The red fog under the cliff suddenly churned violently, like boiling plasma. Another huge fireball broke through the fog, evaporating the fog into twisted white smoke wherever it passed. The fireball bounced on the rock wall a few times, and each collision splashed sparks all over the sky, and finally landed steadily in front of everyone.

The flames dissipated, revealing a giant beast with a pitch-black body and four claws burning with green flames. It shook its head, sparks fell to the ground, its eyes as big as copper bells locked onto Liu Jun, and suddenly spoke in human language: "Boy, give me some snacks, I haven't had snacks for a long time."

Liu Jun's eyes were hot and he almost rushed over to hug the evildoer's neck.

The snacks that Dog Brother likes are not the potato chips and spicy strips that Liu Jun and his friends eat. What he is used to are the pet dog snacks that Liu Jun bought a long time ago.

Although Dog Brother will not admit that he is a dog, it does not stop him from liking to eat these things.

Qing Yun unconsciously took a half step back, digging his nails deep into his palm. The aura of this evil fighter was clearly close to the realm of God King.

There is not even one ferocious beast of this level in the entire ancient demon world. It is very terrifying.
