Chapter 172: Reunion with Chu Hanwei
Red thunder accompanied by heavy rain
Zhang Ping's gaze gradually fell on the Demon Lord.
"So, you are from the former Zhao state?"
He didn't know much about the sealed ancient demon, only that it was sealed by a powerful being from outside a long time ago, but he had no idea how long exactly. Now that the Demon Lord could conjure these strange phenomena, it was highly likely that the demon came from the era of the Old Zhao Dynasty.
If that's really the case, then that would be terrifying!
An ancient monster from who knows how many years ago, so ancient that the world has changed!
It's estimated that even a million years wouldn't be enough!
To everyone's surprise, the Demon Lord shook his head upon hearing Zhang Ping's words.
He continued, "The former ruler of Zhao sought to collect treasures from across the land in an attempt to break through to the Spirit Heaven realm, but the result was unsatisfactory."
"No one expected that the ancient breakthrough method they found was an evil technique."
Evil magic? Zhang Ping raised an eyebrow, already having an answer in his mind.
The Demon Lord continued, "Driven by evil magic, the former ruler of Zhao committed massacres, ultimately provoking a rebellion by the royal family and leading to the downfall of the world!"
"In the midst of chaos, the Wei clan rose to power, seized control of the land, and established the Great Wei!"
Is this the origin of the former territory of Wei and Zhao?
Zhang Ping suddenly realized.
"However, although the old Zhao dynasty was destroyed, its ruler escaped and did not die. A thousand years later, through the cultivation of evil magic, he transformed into an invincible demon and swept across the Great Wei."
The Demon Lord seemed to be telling a long-ago story, his voice unhurried and deliberate.
"The demon was very powerful. In order to suppress the demon, all the warriors of the Great Wei Dynasty came out and finally killed the demon in the endless abyss. They also cut off his head and sealed it separately using a special formation."
"Even after countless years, with the rise and fall of dynasties, the legend of the demon's seal never ceased. During this time, the powerful figures of the Myriad Spirits Domain, fearing that the seal might malfunction, joined forces to set up a Heaven and Earth Seal, isolating the entire former territory of Wei and Zhao."
"It is called the Land of Sealed Demons!"
clap clap,
Zhang Ping suddenly clapped his hands, his expression inscrutable.
"A fascinating story, so you're not the villain?"
The guesses in his mind were repeatedly overturned. If what the Demon Lord said was true, then the Demon Lord's strength should be earth-shattering. If that's the case, then if the Demon Lord is the surviving former ruler of Zhao, his strength is definitely not just as simple as the Body Refinement Realm.
However, since the other party knows these things, they must be connected with the former ruler of Zhao.
Judging from the attitude of the Demon Extermination Bureau, they seem to be quite certain that the Demon Lord is Wang Ping, which means that they also know everything about Wang Ping.
That's interesting...
Time passed slowly, and as the battle between the two ceased, the world seemed to calm down as well.
The torrential rain gradually stopped, and the morning sun pierced through the dark clouds in the east, illuminating the sky where the two were.
At this moment, the Demon Lord's injuries had been completely healed, and even his tattered robes were repaired amidst the surging gray mist.
Zhang Ping glanced at it a couple more times, then picked up his longsword again.
Seeing this, the Demon Lord raised his hand and said, "I've said so much, you already understand very well."
"You can't kill me. The day the seal is broken will be the day I return with the characteristics of chaos. At that time, the entire former territory of Wei and Zhao will be mine. Even conquering the Great Domain of Ten Thousand Spirits will be nothing to me."
"You are incredibly talented, the most talented person I have ever seen. If I could, I wouldn't want to kill you."
"Come, join me! Follow me to conquer endless territories!"
"You crave beauty, then the most beautiful women of every tribe will be at your disposal; you have the tastes of the traitor Cao Cao, then all the women of the world will be at your disposal!"
The Demon Lord's desire to recruit Zhang Ping has never faded, and now he has extended an olive branch once again.
After hearing his words, Zhang Ping couldn't help but feel a little strange: He wanted to kill me as soon as we met, and then he tried to recruit me when he couldn't beat me. How could there be such a good thing?
His face darkened with anger, and he shouted:
"You audacious demon lord! To slander me, die!"
Since the Demon Lord couldn't say what he wanted to hear, there was no need to waste any more time.
"The Prison Break!"
A gray mist enveloped his entire body, and the black and white in Zhang Ping's eyes receded at full speed, leaving only endless gray!
The sounds of wind and rain ceased, leaving only the slowly slashing light of a blade.
The Demon Lord's calm expression finally changed; the next moment, he turned his back to the flashing blades.
moment!
The blade flashed and struck the Demon Lord's back!
One slash pierced through his entire upper body!
It was split in two from the crotch down to the neck.
Endless gray mist emanated from the torn area, and the Demon Lord hovered in the gray mist, his body not continuing to heal.
Behind him, space shattered, revealing a vast expanse of heaven and earth, sealing away the space.
"I told you, you can't kill me, and we'll meet again."
A head, with half of the body hanging on each side, sends chills down your spine.
The Demon Lord felt no pain and spoke to Zhang Ping calmly.
Without saying a word, Zhang Ping swung his sword again!
However, just as this strike was about to reach the Demon Lord, it was swallowed up by the black hole behind the Demon Lord and completely disappeared!
"This is troublesome!"
Zhang Ping's heart sank as he watched helplessly as the other person was sucked into the black hole and disappeared before his eyes.
Watching the black hole disappear rapidly, he hesitated for a long time but still did not chase after it.
Inside should be the endless abyss that seals the former ruler of Zhao. If you rashly enter such a place, who knows what might be inside?
With the Demon Lord gone, the sky cleared completely.
Everything seemed to have returned to that peaceful world.
However, the earth below, covered with traces, testifies to the fierce battle that had just taken place here.
A gust of wind howled past, making Zhang Ping's clothes flutter loudly.
His figure slowly landed on a relatively intact large rock.
But he was constantly pondering in his heart.
Judging from the battle just now, my current strength should be slightly greater than the Demon Lord's.
However, there are limitations; if the other party wants to leave, there's no way to stop them.
In addition, given the opponent's bizarre regenerative abilities and the ability to summon sealed spaces at any time, killing it would be virtually impossible.
"Trouble..." Zhang Ping said those two words for the second time.
He was considering whether or not to leave.
And if the plan to hunt down the Demon Lord continues, what methods will be needed to achieve the goal?
The mountain breeze swept across the valley.
"It's just ahead!"
Streaks of light streaked across the sky.
The person in the lead was Dao Yuanzi, with Chu Hanwei on his left and right, and Xu Rulin shrouded in a black robe on his right.
Chu Hanwei felt the lingering powerful energy in the air, and her grip on the Frost Sword tightened involuntarily.
The Demon Lord has become stronger again.
"There are people there."
A hundred miles away, a scarlet limb with an eyeball suddenly emerged from beneath Xu Rulin's black robe, where his head had been.
Its eyeballs were as big as a fist, and it glanced in the direction the plane was flying.
He spoke slowly, his voice somewhat hoarse.
The others listened without saying anything, but unconsciously quickened their pace a little.
Soon, the group of one hundred people arrived at their destination.
The wind in the valley had not yet died down, and all eyes were fixed on the figure atop the boulder.
Zhang Ping had been waiting for a long time. His gaze lingered on Chu Hanwei and the leading man in black robes for a moment, then he smiled:
"Gentlemen, it's been a long time."
