Chapter 212 - I Only Want to Drink Blood!
"You?!" The Ape Saint, in his wildest dreams, never imagined Moon Fairy would turn around and attempt to counterattack. In a battle among demons, it was a bloodthirsty and brutal affair, a fist to flesh brawl that was nothing short of a high-level animal fight, where every move was lethal!
On the deserted streets of the Heavenly Realm, a three-tailed fox and a flame ape clashed in mid-air!
BOOM! Their collision sparked dazzling fireworks! Blood splattered, and both fox and ape were sent flying!
The Ape Saint was a Golden Eyed Flame Ape. Famed for his formidable physical strength, he now bore crimson wounds torn across his body!
And across from him, the Three-Tailed Demon Fox had a bloody hole on the side of its face, a souvenir from the Ape Saint's powerful strike. But what was terrifying was how quickly this wound swelled, absorbing the blood and healing back to normal. This was the Seed of Creation ability of Bloody Wail—Blood Sacrifice Life Origin.
"With the fleshly talents from six Seeds of Creation, plus my Late Demon Saint Realm cultivation with the Will of Divine Desolation, I'm only two steps behind the Ape Saint. I'm not that much weaker than him!"
This single encounter let Yun Xiao deeply feel the strength of his body double. Indeed, one person could suppress two thousand demons of the Demon Continent alone!
"You're that strong?" The Ape Saint's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Moon Fairy in a daze. "With such supreme talents, why would you serve the human race? Before long, you could rule as a Demon Emperor in the Demon Continent, or even become the king of both the Divine and Demon Continents!"
Such might was beyond the Ape Saint's imagination.
In just a few days, Moon Fairy had gone from the Demon Meridian Realm to one of the top ten combatants of the Demon Continent. With such talent, didn't he surpass ten Divine Dawns? The Ape Saint almost lost his will to fight. Even after what happened with Lady Hua Lian, he was utterly awed by this talent.
"Who told you I serve the humans?" Moon Fairy got up, his fox face twisted fiercely as he glared at the Ape Saint. "It's just the Eclipse Demon Emperor, jealous of my talents, who framed me! He's afraid I'll take his title as the King of Beasts!"
Moon Fairy took a deep breath and sneered. "Ape Saint, I lost in the War of Immortals, but I'll win back my honor with my own strength. The Eclipse Demon Emperor killed my master, and I'll avenge her with my own strength and extinguish him! This Divine Continent, I'll conquer on my own!"
"You haven't betrayed us?" The Ape Saint, hearing this, had a mix of emotions in his eyes.
"Betrayal? Have you lost your mind? With talents like mine, why on earth would I serve those worthless humans? Worthy of Divine Dawn? Please!" Moon Fairy sneered coldly. "The Eclipse Demon Emperor pinned the loss of the War of Immortals on me just to secure his throne. A ruler with such a narrow vision is a curse upon us beast demons. A dog remains a dog. His sister died, and what can he do besides barking? A total waste! Ape Saint, if you had any brains, you'd know where to stand in the future, right?"
"..." The Ape Saint fell silent, utterly baffled. It was true. With such extraordinary talents, why would Moon Fairy betray them? It made no sense! As he pondered this mystery, Moon Fairy surviving two battles against Yun Xiao really did seem like mere coincidence.
After all, Moon Fairy's outrage at one of his ancestors being turned into a Sword Ring and his fondness for Tian Lu seemed... well, normal. And at the end of the grand melee, it was clear to any sharp eye that Yun Xiao truly wanted to finish him off!
"Let's talk, Moon Fairy. I suggest we go to the Demon Emperors and have an open discussion. I believe the Forbidden Fate Demon Emperor will give you justice," the Ape Saint said earnestly.
"Discuss what? I want that dog dead! Can he execute that dog for me?" Moon Fairy scoffed.
"This..."
"If he can't execute the dog, I'll do it myself. There's nothing to discuss! I just hope, after I kill that dog, you'll lead our beast demons to support me," Moon Fairy said coldly, staring at him.
The Ape Saint glanced back, then nodded at Moon Fairy. "Alright!"
"Why didn't he chase me when I appeared at the Ancestral Temple again? What was he doing?" Moon Fairy asked, his voice icy.
"This..." The Ape Saint's face was a mask of complicated emotions.
"I just overheard your conversation with that red-haired baboon. What other plans does the Demon Continent have? I need to know!" Moon Fairy demanded, pressing the Ape Saint.
The Ape Saint's gaze burned fiercely as he looked at the Moon Fairy. "You won't tell the humans?"
BOOM! Moon Fairy slapped him across the face. With a loud crash, the Golden Eyed Flame Ape smashed through dozens of houses, creating a ravine!
Moon Fairy stepped on his face, growling, "What do you take me for? These two defeats are a stain on my life! Yun Xiao, Divine Dawn, I'll kill them myself! Your words show you still underestimate me, Ape Saint."
The Ape Saint's face twisted, yet he dared not move. He knew well he couldn't kill the Moon Fairy! Unable to kill him, and fearing his growing strength, he didn't dare offend him.
"How could I dare underestimate you? Your talent is clear as day..." the Ape Saint said, his voice filled with frustration.
"Good that you understand." Moon Fairy stomped on him hard, pressing him into the earth, and said coldly, "Listen well, I have a short fuse! You've annoyed me now. If you try to play both sides between me and the Eclipse Demon Emperor, remember, when I rule the Demon Continent, your Monkey Clan will be the first I destroy! Believe it or not?"
"..." The Ape Saint's vision darkened at these words. He knew he was in deep trouble!
Struggling, the Ape Saint looked into the distance and saw several Demon Saints approaching. And from the Ancestral Temple, a dark shadow was swirling towards them . Clearly, the Eclipse Demon Emperor was on his way!
"The rise and fall of your clan rests on your words," Moon Fairy sneered.
"Yes!" The Ape Saint clenched his teeth. "The Forbidden Fate Demon Emperor has made allies in the Endless Netherworld. They're already here! All very powerful!"
"What rank?" Moon Fairy asked coldly.
"Emperor level!"
"How many?"
"Three have arrived so far! But I don't know if there'll be others," the Ape Saint replied.
"What is this Endless Netherworld?" Moon Fairy had never heard of it!
"It's a world gate that opened recently in the Demon Continent. It's terrifying inside! Forbidden Fate grew stronger and made these allies..."
"So many changes these years!" As Moon Fairy spoke, a ball of fire approached rapidly. It was the top ranked Demon Saint, Burning Saint – a resentment demon!
"You've done well. Welcome to the fold!" Moon Fairy gave the Ape Saint a cold glance, then suddenly transformed into a wisp of white mist and disappeared.
The Ape Saint was drenched in cold sweat, heaving a sigh of relief. "Even if Moon Fairy truly is an ally of the human race, all I've revealed is about the friends from the Endless Netherworld. I didn't mention their assassination plans, so it shouldn't affect the Demon Continent's operations..."
Struggling to his feet, the Ape Saint watched Moon Fairy's retreating figure. "Such a twisted soul, but then again, what sane demon would ever serve the humans?"
Upon further contemplation, the Eclipse Demon Emperor's campaign of eliminating potential dissidents seemed increasingly plausible. After all, the charges against Moon Fairy were solely fabricated by him!
Lady Hua Lian was executed, the Fox Clan judged without anyone knowing the details or having any evidence.
"Is Moon Fairy really that terrifying?" When the Burning Saint arrived and saw the Ape Saint's battered state, his face twisted in horror.
"Terrifying indeed," the Ape Saint said, almost tongue-tied.
"Such a meteoric rise in power, and they call him a traitor of the Demon Continent? He's a future top Demon Emperor..." the Burning Saint said, wide-eyed in disbelief.
"People can eat anything, but words must not be spoken carelessly, Brother," the Ape Saint cautioned with a deep frown. "This title of traitor was pinned on him by the Eclipse Demon Emperor himself, and the entire Fox Clan was decimated. It's no small matter."
"..." Blazing Saint paused, stunned.
"Damn it, they're pushing away a once-in-a-generation genius! The Demon Continent is already lacking in such talents, how can they do this? No, I must speak with the Forbidden Fate Demon Emperor. Even if Moon Fairy is a bit off, we need to win him back!" Burning Saint declared earnestly.
"Oh!" The Ape Saint nodded, his mouth twitching, then with a face full of sorrow and anger, he went to meet the Eclipse Demon Emperor.
ι══????????══ι?
The Spirit Treasure Palace was unusually quiet. Following the end of the War of Immortals in the Heavenly Realm, it was the day for redeeming bet winnings, but the excitement typical of such occasions was missing.
The reason? Yun Xiao's unexpected victory as humanity's top Immortal meant few had bet correctly.
The Spirit Treasure Palace had made a fortune, swallowing the bets of those who guessed wrong. And with the unsettling atmosphere in the Heavenly Realm and rumors of the Demon Continent's mobilization, few dared to venture out.
In this lull, three shadowy figures emerged from a dark corner of a distant street. Two were shrouded in black robes, blending with the darkness, their features indiscernible. The third, however, was a woman, towering in height.
Taller than Chen Jin and Stray Dog, known for their robust stature, she might even surpass Yun Xiao by more than a head. Clad in a tight, short black and red leather dress, her pale and impossibly long legs were a striking sight. Her figure was fiery and perfect, exuding an exotic allure.
Her face bore a slightly prominent nose and thin red lips, with dark red, cold eyes. Her black hair, like a waterfall, cascaded perfectly down her back, adding to her mysterious aura. The most notable feature was the two small horns at her temples, each marked with nine blood grooves, lending a playful yet seductive air to her exotic beauty.
She was the epitome of temptation, like a thorny red rose, radiating beauty and danger—a legendary flawless body with perfect proportions. Young, fiery, and vibrant, it was clear the two figures behind her were either attendants or protectors.
Upon arriving, their gaze immediately fell on the Spirit Treasure Palace. The woman's red eyes flickered as she inquired, "Is this the place?"
"Yes, War Princess," an elderly man replied, handing her a list respectfully. "Our first target, Zhao Xuanjian, is here."
"Who needs this worthless list?" With a flick of her slender finger, the paper turned to ash. She slightly opened her mouth, revealing a long, pink tongue, which she ran over her lips, chuckling lightly. "I seek only the young and delectable blood."
Her tongue alone, just the part outside her mouth, was four inches long...
