Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 767 - 777: The Hero Appears
From afar, Chu Feng could already hear the sounds of intense fighting erupting from within the cave.
Interspersed with it were the unique roars of demon beasts.
"Junior Sister Han, I’m afraid we’re going to meet our end here this time!" A young man’s voice rang out. "I didn’t expect these demons to be so cunning, with a Demon King disguised as a Demon General, hiding in their midst."
"Never admit defeat until the last moment! Evil shall not prevail over good. If we hold on a little longer, perhaps we can wait for support from the sect!" Han Xiaoying’s sweet and pleasant voice sounded.
The moment Chu Feng heard her voice, his hanging heart was somewhat relieved.
Now that he was here, he would never let anything happen to her.
"The sect has recently dispatched a large number of experts to the frontline, engaging in fierce combat with masters from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom. We were already short on hands, and it’s impossible to send more now. Besides, masters below the level of Sword God would just be coming here to die, and there aren’t that many above Sword God level."
The young man was very pessimistic.
He had no hope for reinforcements.
"Moreover, the distress signals we sent out were all intercepted by these demons. Elder Wu and the others have no idea what has happened here. How can they come to save us?"
This time, Han Xiaoying was silent.
"I must survive and get out, for my husband is waiting for me outside!" Her tone was exceptionally firm.
"Junior Sister Han, I’m not trying to dampen your spirits, but we really can’t get out this time. Before we die, there’s something I’ve always wanted to say but never dared to. If I don’t say it now, I’m afraid I’ll never have the chance."
Chu Feng’s mind was stirred upon hearing this. What did this young man want to tell Han Xiaoying before his death?
"Brother Rao, let’s focus on fighting our way out first! There are still eight of us left. If we gather together and form a Sword Array, we should have a great chance of breaking through the Demon King’s blockade! As long as we escape, we can find others to kill this Demon King!"
Han Xiaoying seemed to know what the youth intended to say and deliberately changed the subject.
"No, I want to say it now."
"I want to tell you that from the first day I saw you, I was enchanted by you. Your beauty, your kindness, your every frown and smile, all bewitched me. If there’s a next life, I must marry you..." Brother Rao, at the very brink of death, actually crazily expressed his love for Han Xiaoying.
Chu Feng was furious in his heart.
Han Xiaoying was already his wife, and it was known to all. This Brother Rao still harbored improper thoughts about her and had the audacity to express them openly.
It was utterly shameless to the extreme.
"Brother Rao, you and I are never going to happen! I deeply love my husband, and there’s absolutely no room for another man in my heart. So, you should just give up on this idea!"
Han Xiaoying’s voice turned cold, clearly showing her disgust toward Brother Rao’s confession.
She must have known long ago about Brother Rao’s inappropriate thoughts towards her.
As long as he didn’t act out of line, she chose not to expose him. They needed to stay unified to face the demon beasts.
Now that he openly confessed, this made Han Xiaoying very angry.
She also intended to decisively cut off Brother Rao’s fantasies.
"Those who are willing to break out with me, get ready immediately!" Han Xiaoying’s cultivation practice was the formidable Seven Killings Sword Skill, supplemented by her Seven-star Sword Veins. She also possessed a Top-Grade divine weapon.
She reached into her bosom, with utmost seriousness, and pulled out a Talismanic Elixir.
It was the Sixth Grade Talisman Pill that Chu Feng had given her.
"Kill!"
With a delicate shout, she fiercely threw the Sixth Grade Flame Burst Pill in her hand.
Boom!
The Demon Fog created by the demon beasts was instantly torn apart, opening a large hole.
A Demon General’s power is comparable to the Sword God Level, and the Demon King’s power is terribly extreme, tantamount to a Supreme Sword God.
"Gaga gaga... think you can escape? No way! This Demon King will kill each and every one of you, sucking dry your essence blood! Sword Essence!" The voice of the Demon King echoed throughout the entire offshoot cave.
The echoes rolled and added to the demon’s might.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chu Feng heard intense fighting noises coming from within. Han Xiaoying and the others must be fighting desperately against the demons, exerting all their effort to break out.
Soon, they felt utterly hopeless.
Because this Demon King was simply too powerful, they had no chance to break out at all.
"Could it be... I’m really going to perish here? My husband won’t see me return; he will surely be heartbroken, he will be in anguish," Han Xiaoying’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but shed tears, as the handsome figure of Chu Feng emerged in her mind.
He was always so confident, always had endless cards up his sleeve, fearless in the face of strong enemies.
He could always turn the tables in desperate situations.
If my husband were here now, perhaps we could have escaped together.
With a heart full of sorrow, Han Xiaoying realized that she might never get another chance to see her husband in this life.
Boom!
Just at that moment, a heaven-shaking explosion sounded, a dazzling white light completely incinerated the Demon Fog. The once arrogant demons were instantly killed by the sudden explosive wave, including three Demon Generals.
"Damn demons, you’re blind to attack my wife!"
"So what if it’s the Demon King? Even if the Demon God were here today, I would still slaughter without error!"
As the ink-like Demon Fog burned away, a handsome and tall figure of a young man appeared. Like a savior descending from the heavens, he was surrounded by a brilliant halo, admired by all living beings.
"Detestable human boy, you actually hurt this Demon King, I must devour you!" the Demon King bellowed in a frenzy.
Chu Feng had just used a Grade Eight Flame Burst Pill, which not only killed several of the Demon King’s subordinates but even injured the Demon King as well.
He had just escaped from the passage, his strength already compromised and yet to recover.
Now that he was wounded by the explosion, his strength diminished once more.
One has to know that within the Seven Star Cave, there are many masters stationed by the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. The Demon King’s drastically reduced strength also made his situation extremely perilous.
He could even possibly perish.
A Demon King, even on the Divine Demon Continent, is not a nameless individual.
But a ruler of his own domain, possessing his own territory and subordinates.
"Eat me? Alright, come here and try!" Chu Feng said with a cold sneer, actually hoping for the Demon King to attempt it.
Then he would burn it to death with his Abnormal Fire.
"Master, it would be too much of a waste to kill this Demon King outright. Your Demon Body is also demonic in nature, by devouring it, you might gain some of its memories and your cultivation could skyrocket," proposed the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King.
Chu Feng’s mind was stirred when he heard this; last time he had learned the Shadow Escape Technique from the memories of an Ancient Demon.
That was an extremely formidable magic.
Chu Feng’s Demon Body was currently roughly equivalent to a Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God in terms of cultivation, and he knew very few magic techniques.
He only knew the Earth Escape Technique.
"Husband!"
The moment Han Xiaoying saw Chu Feng appear, she could hardly believe her eyes. When she confirmed it was indeed Chu Feng who came to the rescue, she couldn’t help but cry with joy.
Like a small bird cuddling up to him, she turned into a graceful figure and threw herself into Chu Feng’s embrace.
Holding him tight, she kept crying.
