Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 140 Baicheng Frost (9)

Ye Ziqi woke up from the darkness.

This sleep was not peaceful, and it seemed that some noise disturbed people's slumber.

Although he thought it was probably a hallucination, he immediately picked up the sword in his hand, stood up, and looked into the medicine room first.

nobody.

That is to say, it's not time yet...

"General Shuang." Ye Ziqi called out twice, but there was no response.

He walked into the main hall and shouted again: "General Shuang!"

There was still silence.

Only then did Ye Ziqi get anxious, holding the ever-burning lamp, he went from room to room looking for someone.

When he was looking for the main entrance, he was in a hurry, and he was not careful what he bumped into under his feet——

"bass--!"

The piercing sound of metal impact echoed far away in the underground palace.Ye Ziqi hurriedly bowed to check, the candlelight illuminated a fragment of the blade.

"How can there be such a thing?" People who have experienced battles are very sensitive to weapons. Ye Ziqi's heart tightened suddenly, and he asked himself: "There was a battle here not long ago! How long have I been asleep?"

"I don't know, I just woke you up." The old monster said lazily.

Ye Ziqi ran quickly, and the lights illuminated the walls on both sides. There were ravines and scratches on the blue copper walls, which were shocking.

"General Frost!" He shouted loudly, rushing all the way to the gate, at this moment, a faint cry came from his ear:

"Leaf Qi."

Ye Ziqi was overjoyed when he heard the sound, and immediately shone the light on: "General——"

The moment the candlelight was cast, Ye Ziqi was stunned.The gate of the underground palace was severely damaged as if it had been hit by a siege car. Under the gate, there was a pool of blood. There was a person lying in the pool of blood. Was it Baichengshuang or who?
"I'm waiting for you." The pale Baichengshuang said to Ye Ziqi in the dim candlelight.

Ye Ziqi rushed over and quickly asked: "General, what's going on?"

"Originally, I wanted to forcefully break out to have a look." Baicheng Shuang, who had suffered severe blood loss, made a relaxed expression: "However, after destroying the seal to the end, I discovered that this seal is deeply connected with the underground palace. If it is forcibly destroyed, the underground palace will be damaged." It may also collapse together. You are still sleeping in it, so we can’t crush you to death.”

Ye Ziqi heard the words and looked up, the shiny gluttonous runes on the gate of the underground palace before had now dimmed, obviously only one step away from breaking the seal.He just didn't notice this because he was too impatient.

"However, it can be done now." Baichengshuang continued to say with a solemn expression:
"The seal will draw spiritual power from the entire demon world and repair itself. I want to attack it again now. If I open the gate, you should hurry out of this palace and don't be implicated. This underground palace is the entire demon world. If the core of the monster can be completely destroyed, there will be cracks in the demon world, and you can escape from the ground—”

"No!" Ye Ziqi pushed back Baichengshuang who wanted to get up, and shouted: "General, if the enchantment is destroyed, it will backfire! You have suffered such serious injuries just by attacking the enchantment." , if you cause backlash again, you will die!"

Baichengshuang wanted to say that he vomited blood not because of attacking the barrier, but as a side effect of breaking the barrier.But thinking that his body really couldn't bear the backlash from the enchantment, the result was the same as death, so he didn't explain, but smiled lightly and said: "Then, I need you to live on instead of this general and continue to protect the country of Ju."

Ye Ziqi said: "The military order accepted by the subordinate is to protect the general's safety. If the military order cannot be completed, the subordinate should be executed according to the military law, instead of living for the general."

"Heh, you have a sharp tongue. Then you can go back to Hanye City to plead guilty, at least you don't have to suffocate both of you underground."

"General—"

"Ye Ziqi, I'm tired." Bai Chengshuang's tone was melancholy and heavy, which made Ye Ziqi unable to interject for a while: "I probably won't be able to last the next hour."

There was an indescribable sadness flowing from this beautiful woman's face. She slightly stretched out her hand to the young man, as if she wanted to brush his forehead hair and see his face more clearly.

"So, I have to do this. For a long time, I... have been the shell of Han Po. Because of the power gained from the artifact, I was able to choose my own destiny. Now, I can no longer be the master of Han Po gun, and I have no soldiers. , is no longer a general, nor has he become that person's disciple.

Now, even if it is death, I have no nostalgia. At least, I have to choose the way to end it myself.However, young people like you should continue to live on the land of Ju Country. Even if Hanye City is breached in the future, if there are people, there is still hope of restoring the country. "

Ye Ziqi stared closely at Baichengshuang's gentle, calm, and determined face. This person who was handsome, trusted by everyone, and enough to be regarded as a role model in life by him always had a cold and resolute attitude, as if he would not be affected by anything. Touching my heart, it seems that I have never been loved by anyone, and it is always frozen like this winter in the Northland. In the end, I will really sleep in the ice and snow underground forever——

"No!!" Ye Ziqi suddenly grabbed Bai Chengshuang's wrist and roared loudly at Bai Chengshuang, which made Bai Chengshuang's whole body tremble in surprise, while Ye Ziqi's eyes widened in anger, staring straight at Bai Chengshuang The eyes seemed to use the will in his eyes to defeat her determination:

"It's not time to give up now! Because there is no one to miss, why don't you want to live anymore? Is this the only kind of royal family that our peasants work hard to worship!" Ye Ziqi pulled Baichengshuang's hand, Regardless of the defense between men and women, he clasped her hand on his heart, with a ferocious expression like a wild animal, and roared sharply:
"You said it right, you want me to be your soldier? I promise you! I promise you now! No matter whether you will be the head of the three guards or not, I swear that Ye Ziqi will be a soldier of Baichengshuang from now on. This This heart will only beat for you from now on, and I will swear to the death and be loyal to you. So, stop saying that no one needs you to live, please don’t say that you are tired, please fight for me, please live for me, and I will definitely -"

The boy's face was hot with tears.

"—will protect you."

After shouting all this, Ye Ziqi stood up, put down Bai Chengshuang's hand, and didn't bother her shocked gaze, turned around and walked towards the depths of the demon palace.

With his head held high, he stomped through the wreckage of weapons and the corridors crisscrossed with ravines, like a fighting rooster.

"Old demon head, you have no way to get out at all, right?"

"I should have told you several times in the past few days. It's not that I don't have the spell to break the seal of the underground palace, but you still can't cast it with your body. Therefore, you should first rely on the grain pills in this underground palace, While practicing bigu technique, while cultivating mana, after ten years or so, I will always let you get out alive."

"But can't save General Shuang?"

"People with weak strength should not be greedy."

"Heh, you're right, it's really hard to hear. Old monster, actually—" Ye Ziqi's tone became serious: "I always wanted to thank you."

"what--???"

"Is there any need to make such a fuss? Since I met you in that library, until today, you have helped me so much, and I don't know what to do.

But in the monster book, there are so many stories about monsters and people. None of the monsters is really good to people. On the contrary, there are many examples of defrauding humans to trust them, and finally betraying humans to achieve their own goals.

My purposeful attitude towards you has always been to remind myself at all times that there is a difference between human beings and monsters, and they are enemies of each other, so don't accidentally forget this boundary. "

The old demon no longer spoke.

Ye Ziqi has already walked into the main hall, the huge cauldron carrying the century-old history of the gluttonous demon kingdom, and the green will-o'-the-wisps from the nether world are reflected in his tear-stained eyes, but they can't disturb his will in the slightest.

"Why aren't you talking?" Ye Ziqi asked with a smile.

"You bastard, what on earth do you want to do?" The old demon's tone was terribly gloomy.

"Talk a few intimate words, why are you still nervous?"

"You brat is thin-skinned. You can't say such shameful words even if you are killed. Unless, you think that if you don't say it, the person who should listen to it will die soon!"

"Heh, sharing your body for so long, it's rare for you to open your heart and say a few words to you, and you still think so, you really don't understand good people."

As Ye Ziqi said, he had already walked under the giant tripod, and suddenly he stood up, kicked onto the Taotie pattern road of the giant tripod, took a strong step, and then stretched out his hand to climb up, and grabbed the edge of the tripod's mouth. With another effort, he propped up his whole body and climbed up, just in time to reach the place where the old Jufu ape demon threw the tripod before.

While standing on the edge of the tripod mouth, Ye Ziqi's eyes turned cold: "Then, I'll just say it straight."

When the voice fell, Ye Ziqi drew his sword and drew the sword across his neck. He stood up to the blazing fire and said in a strict voice:

"Old demon head, I will negotiate with you!"
