Like the last, one of the flames ends up hitting another man’s chest and causing him to shoot downwards in a loud splattering smack. As it so happens, the second also landed right next to the first to make them a pair.
“We’ve been deceived by Miss Ruo Xi!” One of the older High Divine finally realizes this and yelled his opinion out with anger shaking through his body.
“She is clearly not asking us to come deal with the Demon Realm, she sent us here to die! When did we ever offend her? How can she treat us like this?”
Not only did they suffer tremendously after fighting the demon king for so long, they didn’t even get to touch the guy after Di Cang left, and now there’s a bird as well?
There’s no way they would believe Yun Ruo Xi didn’t know about the strength of the Demon Realm, but she still tricked them into coming. With everything considered, there’s only one answer: she wants them to die!
“Fight? How are we supposed to fight? Most of my people are already dead, if I continue then I won’t survive either!” Another middle-aged man also cries out in rage.
Immediately, they all exchanged a look between themselves and a single word blew up in their hearts.
“Run!”
The second they vented their desire, each and every single one of these High Divines were making a dash for the other way.
Likewise, the subordinates that made up the remaining army had also dropped their weapons and turned tail. What point was there to staying if their masters and mistresses were already fleeing?
In an instant, the peace was restored to the gates of this city, leaving only a field of corpses to prove there’s been a vicious battle taking place….
Despite the crumbling order of the enemy forces, Suzaku didn’t give chase here tonight, only staring down at the members of the Demon Realm before her reddish body of flame slowly dematerialized following the bristling wind.
……
Deep in the valley.
A purplish figure makes a huge sonic boom as he speared through the air and lands directly onto the spot where Bai Yan was before she got devoured by the earth. There’s a deep frown on the man’s face as a gloom shrouded over his body.
“Sire….”
Behind Di Cang were the two demons in charge of protecting Bai Yan. They likely felt the threatening intent seeping out of their king so their bodies were extremely nervous and shaky.
“Didn’t I order you two to protect my wife? Is this how you carry out my commands?”
“Sire, it’s your son the prince, something has happened to him…. W-We couldn’t stop the queen.”
Turning around, Di Cang’s menacing glare locks onto the two kneeling fools: “Then why didn’t you come inform me?”
Kissing the ground with their heads now, the guards didn’t dare to lie: “W-We didn’t dare come disturb you while you were fighting those from the Celestial Realm…. We were going to wait until you’re finish then report it.”
Bang!
Raising a blast of wind with whatever maneuver he did, Di Cang’s hit directly sends the speaking guard flying out until he hits a tree several meters away, causing him to splutter blood out of his mouth from the injury.
“Do you know why I want to conquer the Celestial Realm? It’s because my wife wants it, your queen wants it, that’s why I’m going to bring it to her. If without her, what use do I have for this Celestial Realm? And forget about this place, even the Demon Realm pales to compare with her importance! Something as important as my wife’s disappearance and you’re still daring to keep it a secret from me?!”
Anger swelled from within the demon king’s heart, causing his cold harsh voice to inch towards the will to kill.
“If anything happens to my wife…. Know this, I won’t let any of you off!”
