Chapter 27 Twilight Mountain Town 20
Upon seeing the wedding attire, Wen Li's first thought was Zhao Jingchan. Why would a demon appear here, especially dressed in wedding clothes?
Could he be the Amo that Jing Chan mentioned? How could a nun be entangled with a wolf demon, let alone the wolf king?
Huo Zhao suddenly looked up at them, or more precisely, at Shen Yingsi.
Wen Li landed beside Wen Mingzhu and the others with Shen Yingsi.
"Be careful, this wolf demon is probably the legendary Huo Zhao," Zhao Sicheng said as he stepped forward.
Xie Xiao stood silently in front of Shen Yingsi, adopting a defensive posture.
"What if he eats us? What if he eats everyone in this village?" Wen Mingzhu asked in fear, hiding behind Shen Yingsi.
There wasn't a single person in the entire Zhao Family Village; all that could be seen were wolf demons.
Wen Li asked, "May I ask where the villagers of Zhao Family Village are?"
"They just took a nap, and when they wake up they won't remember anything."
As soon as Huo Zhao finished speaking, the wolf pack behind him roared and stared fiercely at Wen Li and the others.
The roar was filled with grief and resentment, as if they were about to charge at the enemy and tear their flesh apart.
"You audacious wolf demon, how dare you hide in the mountains and forests, wreaking havoc on the human world! Today we will seek justice for the remnants of your souls."
As Zhao Sicheng spoke, he pulled Wen Mingzhu from behind Shen Yingsi to behind him, his tall frame completely shielding her from view. Wen Mingzhu looked up at his back with a somewhat confused expression.
Huo Zhao seemed not to have heard the provocation. He first used his magic to change out of his wedding attire. Wearing black armor, he appeared even more fierce and unstoppable.
He carefully stroked the wedding dress in his hand, but the dress disappeared from his grasp the next second, and when he looked up again, his fierce expression was revealed.
"Today, it is not you who are demanding justice from me, but I, Huo Zhao, who am going to seek justice for the more than twenty wolf demons who died at your hands."
The wolves behind him all howled to the sky, their movements synchronized, their cries piercing the clouds.
Huo Zhao's wolf fangs were revealed, his eyes turned red, and his originally tied-up hair fell loose and became long, curly hair, from which pointed, upright wolf ears emerged.
In an instant, a large amount of demonic energy emanated from his body.
He flew straight toward Wen Li and the others, wielding a large sword.
"Protect His Highness!"
Xie Xiao shouted and rushed forward, but after the weapons clashed twice in the air, Xie Xiao was knocked back two steps.
Seeing this, Wen Mingzhu, Zhao Sicheng, and Wen Li rushed forward, and the four of them fought against one, constantly entangled in the air.
Shen Yingsi, however, remained aloof, watching coldly.
Wen Li and the others surrounded Huo Zhao from all sides, constantly advancing and casting spells. Gradually, Huo Zhao became somewhat overwhelmed.
Then, the wolf demons behind him formed circles, one inside the other, with a faint blue light emanating from around them.
"Watch out for the wolves behind us," Xie Xiao shouted to the others.
Wen Li turned her head and saw that the wolf pack was positioned strangely but did not attack them. Just as she was relieved, she noticed that Huo Zhao was flashing an abnormal light.
Suddenly, Huo Zhao's demonic power surged, and he slashed at Zhao Sicheng with his broadsword, knocking him unconscious. He then used his demonic magic to knock Wen Mingzhu and Xie Xiao down, both of them spitting out blood and falling unconscious. He then thrust his sword directly at Wen Li's face.
Seeing this, Wen Li held her sword in front of her and used her spiritual power to form a defense in the air.
However, Huo Zhao's demonic power was too strong, and his defenses shattered before the blade even touched her. Seeing that the blade was about to slash at her, Wen Li subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.
The expected pain did not come. When she opened her eyes, she saw a young man dressed in white. His high ponytail seemed to poke her eyes, making her eyes slightly red.
"Wen Li, step back."
After Wen Lifeng landed, Shen Yingsi pushed his spear forward to create distance between them.
"The Fate-Exchange Formation? Aren't you afraid that all those wolf demons will exhaust their cultivation?" Shen Yingsi's eyes were contemptuous, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Lord of the Green Lamp, you should be worried about yourself."
A huge cloud of black mist rushed towards Shen Yingsi from the sky. He brandished his spear to block it, almost dropping it in his hand.
Before they could recover, Huo Zhao swung his broadsword again, one move after another, each powerful and deadly.
He clearly had the upper hand, yet it was filled with a tragic grandeur.
"Why must you be so ruthless and kill us all!"
"Why can't this world tolerate my wolf demon clan!"
"Since we can be born with spiritual energy, cultivate and transform into human form, we are qualified to live under the sunlight!"
Huo Zhaoyue grew increasingly furious, and Shen Yingsi was clearly outmatched. In his previous life, he had finally become the strongest being in the world, but now, Shen Yingsi looked down on his current cultivation level.
"Wen Li, quickly go and destroy his formation!"
"A magic circle!" Wen Li looked at the wolf pack, threw the ghost talisman at them, and then cast a spell to try and destroy the magic circle. Unfortunately, the blue light emanating from the wolf demons rendered her attacks ineffective.
In the air, Shen Yingsi was still fighting Huo Zhao, but he was already injured, while Huo Zhao was growing stronger. If this continued, Shen Yingsi wouldn't be able to hold out much longer. Wen Liduan launched an attack in an attempt to disrupt the formation.
The black energy gathering around Huo Zhao's knife grew larger and larger. With a forceful swing, the black mass on the knife flew towards Shen Yingsi.
After being knocked down, Shen Yingsi coughed up a mouthful of blood. Seeing Huo Zhao about to attack Wen Li, he quickly flew up and blocked him, coughing up a large amount of blood again.
Huo Zhao had already shifted her target, wanting to kill Wen Li first, but Shen Yingsi stood in her way time and time again.
"Wen Li, hurry!"
What to do! Wen Li grew increasingly anxious as she watched Shen Yingsi being repeatedly knocked down.
"Don't worry, host. He is the protagonist and the chosen one of this world. He will not lose, nor will he die."
Even though she said that, Wen Li was still very anxious. She couldn't break through this barrier at all!
As Shen Yingsi was knocked down once again and quickly stepped forward to block Huo Zhao's attack on Wen Li, an anxious old man's voice reached Wen Li's ears.
"Oh dear, how can you be so stupid! Our lord has been beaten to a pulp, and you still haven't broken this monster's formation!"
Wen Li looked around and shouted into the air, "Who's there? Come out!"
"Oh my god! I'm down here! Look down!"
Wen Li looked down and saw a short old man who barely reached her waist. The old man had a beard covering half his face, wore tattered clothes, and was leaning on a cane. If it weren't for the spiritual energy surrounding him, Wen Li would have really thought he was some kind of junk collector.
"What an idiot! He's driving me crazy! Why don't you attack underground? The only place in this formation that's undefended is underground. Once the ground collapses, the wolf demon will be thrown into chaos!"
After saying that, the old man jumped hard to the ground and went down.
Having received the inspiration, Wen Li immediately cast a spell on the ground, causing the earth to crack open instantly. The cracks quickly spread to the land where the wolf pack was located, and suddenly the ground exploded, throwing the wolf demons into chaos.
The formation was interrupted, and Huo Zhao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Wen Li attacked Huo Zhao from behind with spiritual power, and seeing this opportunity, Shen Yingsi quickly pierced his abdomen with his spear.
Huo Zhao fell straight down from the sky.
The wolves below rushed forward, eager to defend their king.
"Back off!"
Huo Zhao, clutching his wound, roared at the wolf demons behind him. He looked up at Shen Yingsi and said with some pleasure, "I...I have won. This time, I have won."
Seeing the other person's puzzled expression, Huo Zhao suddenly felt bored. He hadn't become a god yet, nor did he have the memories of those hundreds of years ago, so what was there to win or lose?
