You are my wife, don't doubt it!

As Shen Jie and Daiyu reunited, the floor where Xiao Yao was located also lit up with a depressing and tense red alarm light.

The seemingly normal passers-by on the street also revealed their terrifying true forms, swimming around like sharks that smelled blood.

Could this be the consequence of removing the barrier?

Xiao Yao tried to summon Don Quixote, and the armor and sword arrived as promised.

I don’t know how long I waited anxiously, but suddenly there was a huge explosion and fire from the direction of the police station.

It should be Shen Jie and Hairtail, right? If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the two of them.

Xiao Yao quickly drew his sword and rushed over.

A group of fully armed shadow police were surrounding a petite woman. The woman was wearing a blood-red robe and a crown covered with twelve-colored gems and inlaid with a golden cross. In her hand, a colorful rose with red outside and white inside was pressed tightly under her chin.

It was difficult for Xiao Yao to judge how much of the blood on the robe was the original color of the clothes, and how much was her enemy's or... her own blood.

Xiao Yao saw the hairtail hiding behind her and had no time to chat or anything else, so he immediately charged into the battle.

I’ve been waiting for a long time... Xiao Yao thought silently in his heart.

Finally, it's my showtime.

Xiao Yao looked down upon the little fighting ability of Hairtail, and after meeting up with Shen Jie, he ordered him to retreat back to the city.

As a result, this funny hairtail tried several times but failed to recite the scriptures for the return journey correctly. Mufadu, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie had no choice but to retreat while fighting with this burden.

The door on the first floor had been completely blocked and could not be broken down, so Xiao Yao decided to take Shen Jie and the others down the sewer.

Those shadows in the sewers, which were already very aggressive, were now chasing us relentlessly like a pack of hyenas on the grassland. Although they were not a big threat individually, they were in large numbers and kept coming one after another.

Shen Jie didn't know whether it was because of excessive consumption or because she was not adapted to the underground environment, but after entering the sewer, she gave up Queen Mary's Fortress. Under the attack of Yingchao, she was in danger everywhere. She was able to move forward only with the cover of Xiao Yao and Hairtail.

The three of them climbed out of the drainage ditch in a miserable state, and the shadow tide behind them gushed out like a flood that broke through a dam. Xiao Yao saw from afar the big monk Shi Hui who was anxiously waiting outside the door of the building, and hurriedly called for his help.

Shi Hui did not immediately raise his Zen stick and come forward to help as Xiao Yao had imagined. Instead, he stood there in a daze, looking at the direction the three men were running from. The expression on his face was... fear?

It was the first time that Xiao Yao saw the expression of "fear" on Shi Hui's face.

Is there anything scary about the three of us?

Xiao Yao reacted quickly and realized that if the reason for Shi Hui's expression was not the three of them themselves, then it was some "thing" that came with them.

The young man's heart tightened and he subconsciously slowed down his pace, turning back to look in the direction Shi Hui was looking.

He saw a...huge...fly?

Yes, it looks like a fly no matter how you look at it, a fly with Shen Hongsheng’s face.

The giant fly was suspended in the air. Its body was huge and fat, almost as tall as seven or eight adults. Its body was covered with dark black scales, which shone with a creepy luster. When the fly's wings were spread out, they covered the sky like a black curtain, as if swallowing all the light into its own shadow.

Its six well-developed legs are bent like claws, exuding an evil aura. Each leg is thicker than a human arm and covered with tiny barbs, which seem to be able to easily tear apart anything that stands in its way.

The fly's head was hideous, its bright red compound eyes flashing with ferocious light, and it looked extremely ferocious. Its long antennae kept swaying, as if it was sniffing the surrounding air, and when its big mouth opened, it revealed a row of sharp fangs, as if it could devour people at any time.

The entire body of the giant fly exuded an evil and evil aura that made people feel creepy. Whether it was Xiao Yao or Shi Hui, as well as Shen Jie and Hairtail, they all felt this terrifying atmosphere, as if they were facing a demonic existence from the depths of hell.

Xiao Yao "calmly" assumed a fighting stance.

Chapter 255 Father's Love

2023-07-05

The great monk Shi Hui seemed to have finally recovered from his fear.

He transformed into a cloth bag monk, reciting the Diamond Sutra in a loud voice with a serious look in his eyes.

Holding a stick, Budai Monk rushed towards the huge Fly King at an astonishing speed. The stick exuded a solemn aura, like a bolt of lightning striking the Fly King.

The Lord of the Flies did not dodge.

When the stick was about 15 yards away from the fly king, Shi Hui suddenly threw the stick to the ground without any warning, making a loud "bang" sound, then turned around suddenly, hugged his head with both hands, quickly curled up into a ball, and then began to run away in a zigzag shape.

The so-called "Z" shape actually refers to the fact that his escape was irrational and disorganized. Sometimes he went east, sometimes he went west, and he could make an inexplicable turn halfway, as if he was just running around for the sake of running around.

Xiao Yao could tell at a glance that Shi Hui was not frightened by the momentum of the giant fly chasing him, but it was simply that the fly king had some kind of "aura of fear" or something like that.

However, Shi Hui, who had the highest level and the strongest combat power in the team, was completely powerless against the Fly King. This made Xiao Yao realize the severity of this battle.

The King of Flies quickly caught up with him and, from behind, stepped on the monk.

The monk Budai was covered by the legs of the giant fly and was almost suffocated by the pressure.

Xiao Yao observed the battlefield and saw Shen Jie and Daiyu both holding their heads and running in a zigzag pattern. Seeing that there was no hope for them, he had no time to think and had to charge forward with swords drawn from behind.

Although his reason told him that he was probably no match for the King of Flies and that he would fall into an out-of-control state of forced fear if he got close to the King of Flies, he could not just watch Shi Hui get into danger.

He can't.

Then, Xiao Yao's sword tip had already pierced the Fly King's back, but the opponent's back shell was too hard and the sword tip slipped away.

Xiao Yao was not very panicked. He realized that he seemed not to be susceptible to "fear".

The young man immediately retracted his sword and responded quickly. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and focused on the battle in front of him.

The daily leveling was not in vain, and the bond between him and his companions seemed to have deepened further, which made Xiao Yao much more adept in fighting than before.

Xiao Yao used his agility and speed to quickly get around the side of the Fly King and found an opportunity to attack.

The young man gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and performed a unique sword technique.

The sword flashed, and Xiao Yao's swordsmanship was as agile as flowing water. He aimed at the key parts of the Fly King and suddenly launched a fierce attack. The sword tip cut through the air and stabbed towards the Fly King's wings.

The sword blade collided with the Fly King's wings, making a sharp tearing sound. The force brought by the sword blade was enough to tear the Fly King's metal-hard wings apart - blood splattered everywhere, and the Fly King let out a painful buzzing sound.

YES! Xiao Yao was secretly delighted.

Although the Fly King was badly injured, it was still full of violent fighting spirit. It roared and swung its huge legs violently, trying to kick Xiao Yao away. However, Xiao Yao dodged flexibly and quickly, leaving the Fly King no chance.

Pus began to flow all over the fly king's body, and from head to toe, every pore was dripping with blood and filth. Xiao Yao continued to demonstrate his swordsmanship skills, constantly attacking, looking for the fly king's weakness.

With his keen insight, the boy realized that the Lord of the Flies' eyes were another of its weaknesses.

Xiao Yao seized the opportunity and quickly approached the Fly King, and the tip of his sword went straight for the Fly King's eyes like lightning.

"No!" Xiao Yao heard Shen Jie's sharp cry: "Xiao Yao, don't kill it!"

Xiao Yao was startled, then realized that this was the shadow of Shen Jie's father after all. If he killed him on the spot, wouldn't it be...

A shrill buzzing sound was heard, and the Fly King immediately seized Xiao Yao's hesitation and launched a fierce counterattack.

At some point, its torn wings grew back together.

Xiao Yao launched another fierce and continuous attack, the sword blade slashing at the vital parts of the Fly King's body like a gust of wind. His swordsmanship was skillful and accurate, but unfortunately he was afraid to use his weapon, and he just circled around the Fly King's body, trying to force him back.

Finally, the boy began to lose strength, and the Fly King finally found Xiao Yao's weakness.

It pounced at Xiao Yao ferociously, its sharp claws flashing with murderous light, and it was about to pierce the boy's chest.

Xiao Yao wanted to use his shield to block the fatal attack, but he had no time to react. At this critical moment, a hard ice barrier suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yao, blocking the Fly King's claws.

At the same time, Yu Bo suddenly appeared on the battlefield, holding a shotgun, ready to shoot the Fly King.

He took steady and accurate aim at the Lord of the Flies' head and pulled the trigger.

Two bullets flew out of the double-barreled shotgun and headed straight for the Fly King's head. Although it did not cause any substantial damage to it, the appearance of the bullets still slowed down the Fly King's offensive and gave Xiao Yao some breathing space.

Just as Xiao Yao was about to say something to Yu Bo, Yu Bo threw the shotgun in his hand to the ground, then held his head and joined the team that was running in a zigzag pattern.

Damn it, where is your immortal faith! Cheer up! Xiao Yao roared in his heart.

Then, he saw Yu Luying.

He said he saw Yu Luying, but in fact he saw a... well, how should I put it? A woman who looked haggard and inconspicuous in appearance and clothing.

She has long, smooth brown hair tied into a simple braid. Her eyes are clear and bright, revealing a kind and gentle light. She holds a huge broom in her hand and sits in a pumpkin carriage.

The skin of this "Cinderella" is white and delicate, and despite being overworked, there is no trace of it. Her face is dignified and beautiful, with a hint of reservedness and shyness, showing her inner innocence and gentleness.

However, her clothes were in stark contrast to her beauty. She was forced to wear shabby gray clothes, which were covered with dust and stains. Despite this, she still maintained a dignified demeanor and elegant manners, and did not let her appearance affect her inner brilliance.

"Some people...some people," Yu Luying's voice was chilling, "are not worthy of being fathers!"

Xiao Yao's physical strength was exhausted. He watched Yu Luying tightly grasp the broom in her hand, sit on the pumpkin carriage, and engage in a fierce battle with the Lord of the Flies.

It seems...she is also immune to the adverse effects of the Fly King's fear aura, Xiao Yao thought.

The magic energy of the icy system gathered in Yu Luying's palms, and she quickly waved the broom, releasing icy winds. The ice cones whistled out and accurately shot at the body of the Fly King, but the Fly King dodged flexibly and avoided the fatal attack.

The fly king made a low and vicious buzzing sound, and it instantly pounced on Yu Luying, its claws flashing with sharp light. Xiao Yao immediately threw the shield in his hand, blocking the girl's chest with a shield wall.

The Fly King's sharp claws slammed violently on the shield, making a series of harsh collisions.

Yu Luying suddenly raised her right foot and stabbed the slender and sharp heel of her crystal shoe into the body of the Fly King.

The Fly King let out a painful buzzing sound and was knocked back several meters. At the same time, Yu Luying concentrated her magical energy again, and the icy wind condensed into a huge ice ball in her hands.

She swung her broom, sending the ball flying toward the Lord of the Flies in an instant of frigid energy.

Xiao Yao had also reorganized his posture at this time. He stretched out his left hand to retract the shield, thrust out his sword, and joined the battle again.

However, for some unknown reason, the fly king became more and more courageous as the fight went on. It suddenly turned red, thicker, and bigger. Even if Xiao Yao and Yu Luying joined hands, they were unable to gain the upper hand.

Gradually, the two people began to passively defend themselves, surrounded by danger, chaos and embarrassment.

"Everyone get on the pumpkin carriage, let's retreat!" Yu Luying shouted.

However, Shi Hui, Yu Bo, Shen Jie, Daiyu and others were still running around aimlessly, as if they didn't hear what Yu Luying was saying at all.

The Fly King avoided the bombardment of the ice ball, flew nimbly, and continued to attack Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao also got on the pumpkin carriage so that he didn't have to worry about his footwork and could only focus on the sword in his hand.

The sword flashed, and Xiao Yao used his deft swordsmanship skills to attack continuously, trying to find the weakness of the Fly King. He sometimes dodged, sometimes counterattacked, trying to force his opponent back.

"You can retreat first, don't worry about me." Shen Jie was still running uncontrollably, but she seemed to have regained her sanity. Seeing this situation, she had completely lost her will to fight.

"Don't be silly, how could I leave you behind?"

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying quickly discussed and prepared to drive over to knock out all those people who were running around uncontrollably, and drag them onto the pumpkin carriage to take them away.

Just now.

A red light appeared on the top of the tower, which was vaguely visible due to being obscured by the clouds.

The red light slowly gathered and formed a beam of light, like a searchlight, illuminating the pumpkin carriage where Xiao Yao and Yu Luying were.

Then, he swam away slowly. Under the illumination of the light, the surging tide of shadows in the distance was shocking.

After wandering for a while, the light suddenly seemed to lose patience, swung to the side abruptly, and then quickly gathered into a slender red laser, instantly turning the shadow just below it into a wisp of smoke, and then burning a red mark on the ground.

Then, the red laser began to move slowly.

"Stop it." Shen Hongsheng's voice came from the high tower.

The Lord of the Flies slowly decomposed into a surging tide of shadows - it turned out that from the very beginning, it was formed by the convergence of countless shadows.

"Dad? Is that dad? That's dad?" Shen Jie muttered to herself as she stared at the red light that had gathered back on the top of the tower.

As the shadows outside the red line were eliminated, the sea of ​​shadows blocked by the red line under the tower also quietly receded. Except for the red line on the ground, it seemed as if nothing had happened here.

"saved!"

The people who were running around finally stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and surrounded Xiao Yao and Shen Jie as they walked towards the exit.

Yu Luying also put away her newly acquired spiritual fortress "Cinderella".

Xiong Ji finally arrived at this time and was ridiculed a little.

Xiao Yao expressed his gratitude to everyone, but at the same time he noticed that Shen Jie's smile seemed a little forced.

Of course, Shen Jie wasn't the only one whose smile seemed forced.

For example, Shi Hui and Yu Bo, these two people were still upset about their "combat performance" just now.

This is only natural, Xiao Yao thought - if even faith cannot resist fear, then this is indeed frustrating.

"If," Shen Jie finally asked, "if Dad's shadow is on that tall tower, then who are the bees with Dad's face fighting us?"

"Bee? You are a nearsighted person without glasses..." Xiao Yao complained. After thinking about it, he still didn't feel comfortable mentioning the word "fly".

However, even if he doesn't mention it, someone else will.

"That's Belzebub, the 'Lord of the Flies,'" Yu Bo explained.

"'Lord of the Flies' Belzebub?" Xiao Yao repeated.
