Chapter 742: Chapter 741: Just Because of You
Liu Zheng merely offered a faint smile, "Coming from you?"
Ao Xing let out a cold laugh, "Yes, coming from me, what about it?"
Liu Zheng replied dismissively, "You, a mere demon god, dare to come and kill us! Do you really think you are invincible in this world?"
Ao Xing snorted, "The person I’ve come to kill today, no one can stop, not even you."
Liu Zheng burst into laughter, "You’re right, I, Liu Zheng, am doomed today, but what a pity, I still have many brothers who will die with me."
With that, Liu Zheng gestured with his hand, and instantly more than a dozen people sprang out from behind him, surrounding Ao Xing completely.
Liu Zheng said with a smile, "Ao Xing, today I, Liu Zheng, will personally kill you to avenge my brothers and wash away our grievances."
Ao Xing scoffed, "Liu Zheng, you think you can kill me like this? You’re wrong, you’ll just die a more miserable death."
After that, Ao Xing’s body suddenly burst into a surge of black light!
"Boom~"
The entire valley turned pitch black in an instant, and everything disappeared from sight, leaving only Liu Zheng and Ao Xing!
"What’s going on?" Ao Xing exclaimed in surprise, looking at the surrounding darkness.
Liu Zheng was also panic-stricken, "What, what’s happening here..."
Just then, a beam of light suddenly shone above their heads, and a man wearing a black robe and a cloak appeared above them.
Liu Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Demon King, what are you doing here..."
Ao Xing was also overjoyed, "Lord Demon King, quick, save me..."
The man gave them both a cursory glance before speaking indifferently, "Liu Zheng, is this the man you want to kill?"
Liu Zheng was momentarily stunned, "Lord Demon King, this..."
Ao Xing hurriedly nodded, "Yes, I was just about to kill him, and to my surprise, Lord Demon King, you’ve arrived just in time, thank you so much."
"Oh? Is that so?" The man’s voice was full of mockery, "Very well, let’s see what the two of you are truly capable of."
With that, the man gestured with his hand and a massive vortex appeared before Liu Zheng and Ao Xing.
The vortex spun, generating a powerful suction force, swallowing Liu Zheng and Ao Xing whole.
Once the vortex had subsided, Liu Zheng and Ao Xing were nowhere to be seen!
"What, what’s going on?!" The Demon King exclaimed in shock, "I...I can’t catch them!"
The Demon King’s face was filled with astonishment and disbelief, "Impossible, impossible, they’re just freshly ascended demon gods!"
Liu Zheng, in a panic, knelt down on the ground, "Please spare me, Lord Demon King, I beg you."
"Spare you?" The Demon King said coldly, "Liu Zheng, do you realize what crime you’ve committed?"
Liu Zheng was taken aback, "Lord Demon King, what crime have I committed?"
The Demon King said dispassionately, "You’ve killed celestials of the Heavenly Court and even abducted a fairy. Your crimes are so grave they are beyond redemption!"
"What?!" Liu Zheng was frightened, "Lord Demon King, you must be lying, right? How could I possibly have killed a fairy?"
The Demon King said calmly, "True or false, you know it in your heart! If you don’t want to be punished, you’d better report this matter to the Immortal Realm immediately. If you dare to act on your own again, don’t blame me for not being merciful!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng shivered, bowing continuously, "Thank you for your mercy, Lord Demon King!"
"Hmph!" The Demon King turned and left.
Liu Zheng, watching the darkness gradually fade, showed a look of terror on his face.
"How, how is this possible..."
...
"Where is this?"
A soft yet slightly panicked voice came through.
"This should be the Immortal Realm." Another voice followed.
"What? The Immortal Realm?!"
A startled cry rang out.
"What, what’s going on here? How did we get to the Immortal Realm? Why are we in the Immortal Realm?!"
"I don’t remember how I got here..."
...
The two continued to discuss.
"You, you don’t need to speak, I’ll ask you, what place is this?" the woman asked.
The man smiled, "This is the Immortal Realm, we’ve now arrived at the Immortal Realm."
The woman frowned, "Are you, are you telling the truth?"
The man said, "Of course, I might deceive others, but I wouldn’t dare to hide anything from Lady Immortal. Lady Immortal, look around us, every blade of grass and tree here is from the Immortal Realm. Tell me, now that we are in the Immortal Realm, are we not safe?"
The woman nodded, "Mhm, the Immortal Realm is indeed much safer than the Divine Realm."
The man said, "Then, Lady Immortal, where should we go next?"
The woman sighed and shook her head, "I also don’t know where to go. Right now, I can only wait in the Immortal Realm, hoping that they can find us."
The man nodded, "Lady Immortal, rest assured, now that we have reached the Immortal Realm, we will naturally think of ways to protect you, and not let any harm come to you."
The woman nodded in relief.
The man continued, "Lady Immortal, I noticed earlier that there seem to be fewer beasts in the Immortal Realm compared to the Divine Realm. Do you have any plans?"
The woman fell silent for a moment, "I don’t know where to go."
The man said, "Lady Immortal, look, the environment here is so elegant. Why don’t we stay here to recover from our injuries?"
The woman said, "Alright."
The man’s face lit up with surprise, "Lady Immortal, you, you agree with my suggestion?"
The woman nodded, "Mhm, I agree with your suggestion. As long as we can stay alive, any place will do."
"That’s great, Lady Immortal," the man exclaimed with joy.
The woman let out a soft sigh, "Sigh, it’s just a pity for those innocent mortals, whether they like it or not, this incident has ultimately happened, we can only say, this is fate."
The man said, "What Lady Immortal said is true. I also didn’t expect that we would meet in the mortal world and become immortal companions."
The woman replied indifferently, "Actually, there was never much fate between you and me. If it weren’t for being forced into a corner, we would never have been together."
The man’s expression turned downcast, "Lady Immortal is right, it’s all the Demon King’s fault."
The woman shook her head, "He is the Demon King, naturally wielding control over destiny. We could never escape his grasp entirely."
The man spoke angrily, "Lady Immortal, don’t worry, once we return to the mortal plane, we will report this matter to the Immortal Emperor and ask the Immortal Emperor to punish the Demon King, to seek justice for those innocent mortals."
The woman shook her head, "It’s not as simple as that, we can’t prove it was the Demon King’s doing. Moreover, the Demon King’s cultivation has reached the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal. Us two, how could we possibly be his opponents?"
The man furrowed his brow, "Then, what should we do?"
The woman sighed, "I don’t know what to do either..."
The man pondered for a moment, "Lady Immortal, I think, what we need to do now is to hide ourselves well and then, wait for the right opportunity to act."
The woman nodded, "Mhm, that’s all we can do."
...
"Boom boom boom!"
A loud bang rang out from afar.
"Boom!"
A massive body landed on the ground, creating a thunderous noise.
Subsequently, another figure stepped in slowly.
"Whose stinking dog is this?!"
"Hahaha, hahahaha..."
The man burst into laughter.
...
"Hmm, where is this?"
"Eh, why is there such a fragrant smell here?"
"No, I must find a place to bathe quickly. I wonder whose dog has run over here, barking all over the place. It’s really annoying."
"Ow! That hurt like hell!"
"Whose fierce dog is this, it bit me!"
...
...
A group of people flew down from the sky one after another, cursing as they looked toward the figure that had fallen to the ground.
When they clearly saw the appearance of this unlucky fellow, everyone couldn’t help but laugh, "Hahahaha..."
"Hahaha, this guy, he sure is bizarre-looking!"
"Not bad, not bad, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone so ugly."
"I guess he must be from the immortal clan, huh? How did such trash gain the qualifications to enter the Immortal Realm? Hahaha, this is killing me."
...
