Chapter 220 Reversed Heavenly Gang, Terrifying Demons
In the midst of the storm, Su Heng took steps forward, his body's black and red hue terrifying, like armor, his muscles were rapidly retracted into his body. Accompanied by a rustling sound, he once again activated the ability of Bodhisattva's Cut Hair. Numerous black, fine threads intertwined, forming a simple long robe on Su Heng.
"Brother Su Heng," Qin Shunying's gaze trembled slightly, her face filled with an incredulous glow.
"How come you are here?" Qin Shunying asked in astonishment.
"I have the same question for you," replied Su Heng, his expression gentle, but he also felt quite surprised to encounter an old friend here.
"That's a long story..." Qin Shunying descended from the sky, offering a smile. She was about to start explaining when a wave of intense weakness and pain spread throughout her body from her belly. Qin Shunying turned pale, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
Su Heng extended his hand and, using gravity, steadied her so that Qin Shunying could barely stand up.
"Your condition doesn't look too good," Su Heng said, looking down at Qin Shunying's abdomen. The armor there was torn, and black blood was seeping out. This blood carried a scent of rot and decay, as the demonic contamination was spreading uncontrollably inside Qin Shunying's body.
"Indeed, it's not good," Qin Shunying shook her head and forced a smile, then cupped her fists towards Su Heng, "If I hadn't run into you here, I might have already perished."
"Of course, if it hadn't been for my appearance, you would definitely be dead," Su Heng replied with a slight smile and without mincing his words.
"Uh..." Qin Shunying's smile stiffened on her face.
"As for your injury..." Su Heng stroked his chin, "Considering you once taught me the Bright Sun Divine Skill, I might just be able to help you."
"Brother Su, don't take this lightly."
Qin Shunying's expression changed slightly as she quickly warned, "The demonic contamination is extremely troublesome; once it has afflicted someone, removing it becomes difficult."
With the powerful vitality of the Heavenly Deceit Realm, Qin Shunying's injuries were not severe.
The main issue was the demonic aura's contamination, which needed a continuous expenditure of energy to suppress; this was the fundamental reason for her weakness.
In this painful struggle, Qin Shunying had come to deeply understand how troublesome this ancient and fierce power was, a little contamination and then...
Whoosh!
Before Qin Shunying could react, Su Heng had already extended his hand and pointed forward.
The energy from the Bright Sun Divine Skill, condensed like a babbling brook at his fingertip, burst into light, resembling a pure, blazing sun rising. The surrounding space distorted, and the temperature rose rapidly, yet the light emitted a pulling force.
Qin Shunying's eyes widened, her face showing a shocked expression.
Su Heng had acquired the Bright Sun Divine Skill right in front of her merely half a month ago. Yet, the aura emanating from his body was thick and hot, as though he had been practicing this divine skill for over a century. Although there was still a slight gap in quality, the sheer quantity was immense and awe-inspiring.
A stream of black blood flowed out from Qin Shunying's wound.
It formed into a sphere, lingering at Su Heng's fingertip. He reached out and pinched it, and with a sizzle, the blood evaporated into a thick smoke, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Done!" Su Heng clapped his hands, his face bearing a gentle smile.
"What!?" Qin Shunying looked down incredulously, as if what had just occurred was all a dream.
Once she regained her composure, the long-troubling demonic contamination had completely vanished from her body. A feeling of immense relief surged within her, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, like a bird spreading its wings to leave the cage. And with the suppression from the demonic contamination gone, the terrible wound on Qin Shunying's abdomen also healed rapidly.
Her strength climbed continuously, quickly returning to a state near her peak.
Su Heng did not feel obviously bloated; his condition was very good.
Qin Shunying watched as the two lords, who almost drove her to oblivion, turned into bones and were quickly buried under the shifting sands.
A sigh of emotion passed through her heart, but she quickly recovered. Seeing that Su Heng had eaten his fill, she nodded slightly, picked up the phoenix spear that had fallen to the ground, flicked it with a flourish, shouldered it, and leaped forward, rushing back towards the white-golden palace they came from.
Su Heng did not hesitate and followed closely behind.
One small and one large silhouette soon disappeared in this lifeless desert garden.
...
"Whew!"
The fierce wind howled, kicking up dust.
Not long after the two had departed, in the haze of windblown sand, two figures abruptly appeared.
The figure in front wore black feathers and black clothes, not particularly burly, but exuding a naturally formidable aura. His eyes were also particularly unique, interwoven with clearly distinct layers of black, dark gold, and blood red, alluring one into an abyss, impossible to stare at directly.
This person was the youngest of the three kings of the Demon Country, the Golden Falcon King.
Sensing the residues of battle in the garden, the Golden Falcon King's brows furrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous aura.
Boom!
A thunderclap exploded in the void.
A dark golden aura turned tangible, bursting out and spreading from the body of the Golden Falcon King.
In an instant, it covered the entire desert, the wind ceased, and all things appeared as if frozen in amber. All the sand seemed to fall from the sky like mist, suspended halfway up in the air. The Golden Falcon King raised his hand and lightly brushed it aside.
The heavy gravel on the ground rolled back and forth, exposing some broken bones and fresh blood.
Behind the Golden Falcon King was a tall, burly man-like giant wolf with sleek, pitch-black fur. Many falcon feathers grew on both sides of his shoulders, his teeth were sharp, and his eyes were blood-red, glowing fiercely.
This was the Sky Wolf Great Lord.
In terms of appearance, the Sky Wolf Great Lord bore some resemblance to the Wolf King Star Lord who had previously died by Su Heng's hand.
But the former's aura was incomparably stronger and more divine. If one must compare, one might say the Sky Wolf Great Lord was like a legendary wolf king, commanding and indomitable across the prairies. In contrast, the Wolf King Star Lord was more like a stray dog in the streets, wagging its tail for pity.
"These two are..." the Sky Wolf Great Lord growled dangerously.
He leaped forward, crouching on the ground, carefully examining the two skeletons and quickly identifying them, "White Crane Star Lord! Purple Owl Lord! Both perished here? Where is their flesh? Devoured alive, what on earth happened!?"
Demons always stood at the very top of the food chain.
Yet in this Secret Store, something unknown had happened, and two Great Lords had been eaten clean.
Since the birth of the Demon Country, such an event had never occurred before.
The Sky Wolf Great Lord was first shocked, widening his eyes. Then he felt horrified; fur standing on end, a chill ran up his spine to his forehead. His teeth bared, his body emitted a black malevolent aura.
