Pei Hongdu's appearance reversed the situation almost instantly. Mo Wang, who had a power comparable to that of Nascent Soul, was obviously no match for him, and he snatched the long sword away in just a few moves.
The sharp blade, which condensed the wronged souls of countless desolate believers, penetrated deeply into Mo Huan's chest. He spurted out a large mouthful of blood, but his faintly red eyes stared at Pei Hongdu.
"Yes, that's it! Pei Hongdu, you are the one who bears the mark of the Emperor Demon! As long as you can swallow the Demon Lord, then you will completely possess the power of the Ancestral Demon! I can help you - uhhhhh!" The long sword in Pei Hongdu's hand penetrated deeply again, and he stabbed Mo Wang's chest without any emotion. Then he stood up slowly, raised his hand to summon a powerful demonic energy, and held up the people who were falling rapidly.
After Gu Qingling landed, the demonic aura around her body had not yet dissipated. She heard the bell on her waist making a crazy sound. She looked around, but she did not see Pei Hongdu again.
I couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Could it be that he ran away again?
Lu Qingling bit her lip, clenched her hands into fists hanging by her side, and her wet red eyes contained a thin layer of mist.
At this time, Pei Hongdu suddenly appeared and took a step forward in her direction. The frost-like indifference around him slowly disappeared. He stared closely at the little girl in front of him, his eyes evasive, and he called out as if he was feeling guilty: "Ling
Son..."
Lu Qingling rushed forward, clenched her fists and hit him hard, her voice trembling slightly with anger, she looked thick and fierce, as if she had been wronged and was only one step away from crying.
"Don't call me! You can obviously find me, but you just don't come, right? In your heart, I'm not your friend at all? Pei Hongdu, I hate you the most!"
She shouted these words with all her strength, her fair little face turned red from holding back, and tears hung in the corners of her eyes, making it impossible to fall.
Not far away, Mo Wang, who was nailed to the ground with a long knife, was slightly stunned, with a wicked smile on his lips: "So you - um!"
Pei Hongdu hooked his fingers, and countless pieces of gravel were wrapped in the demonic energy and stuffed into Mo Huan's mouth. He looked angry and struggled desperately to no avail, so he could only stare here.
"Don't hate me. It's not that I didn't come, I just... wasn't ready to see you." He lowered his fine and long eyelashes, tentatively stretched out his hand towards Gu Qingling, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes extremely gently. "You are my only friend. When we were at Lushu Gate, I pretended not to know you because I didn't want to injure you."
Lu Qingling's cheeks puffed up and she stared at him with wet eyes: "So we are still friends?"
"Yeah."
She breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and grabbed Pei Hongdu's hand tightly. Sensing some resistance on his part, she threw it away and stood angrily aside, turning her face away from him.
Pei Hongdu's whole body stiffened for a moment. He stared down at his dirty palms and wiped them hard on the hem of his clothes. Then he tentatively stretched out his hand towards her again, and held Lu Qingling's little finger with hesitation and caution. He shook it slightly: "I, my hands are too dirty."
Only then was Gu Qingling satisfied. She turned around and clenched his fingers without hesitation, "My hands are not clean either! We are each other."
Gu Tan and Jiang Yanzhou walked out of the demonic aura with pale faces. They saw that the entire Nine Layers Demonic Palace had been almost destroyed, and even the palace under their feet was gradually falling apart.
Jiang Yanzhou said in a deep voice: "The situation is not quite right... Where is the sky splitting?!"
Gu Tan's brows and eyes were full of worry: "Don't you understand? This guy lied to us. It came for the spirit gathering formation from the beginning, but it couldn't get close with its power, so it lied to us.
Kill us!"
Jiang Yanzhou: "But it is already Ling'er's natal magic weapon. If it has evil intentions, how could Ling'er not discover it? Wait! Where did Ling'er go!"
The two searched for a while, and finally saw Gu Qingling and the Sky-Splitting Sword on another ruins.
Beside her, Gu Mingzhu was holding her arm, looking around with some fear. Pei Hongdu, dressed in black clothes, with his long hair combed into a ponytail, glanced coldly in their direction.
……
"So, you didn't betray us? Quehun was your previous name. Now you have successfully recovered most of your strength and are about to send us out?"
The Sky-Splitting Sword shook, and the black flowing jade flower shimmered: "Yes, yes! I was so anxious at that time, I was absorbing spiritual power and couldn't speak, and that bastard kid slandered me like this!"
Seeing that he was furious, Gu Qingling hurriedly comforted him: "Then send us out quickly! I've really had enough of this place!"
Split Sky nodded and turned into a black lightning that rushed into the air. Then the tip of its sword pointed upward, and countless turbid air gathered like a tide, forming a huge vortex in the sky.
Jiang Yanzhou and Gu Tan rushed over anxiously. After Gu Qingling explained the situation to them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up at the sky covered by more than half of the whirlpool, the little beans felt a sense of shock in their hearts. With just half of its strength restored, is Split Sky already so powerful? If it were in its prime, wouldn't it be able to move mountains and seas and be omnipotent?
Gu Qingling bit her lip tightly because she suddenly realized that even such a powerful Split Sky would eventually be seriously injured by the Ancestral Demon, let alone thousands of monks.
If the Ancestral Demon awakens again, it will be a devastating blow to the three realms. And Pei Hongdu beside her... Gu Qingling secretly gritted her teeth and decided to find a way to resolve the curse on him after they left.
.
Gu Tan also discovered Pei Hongdu's existence. She hesitated for a moment and finally didn't ask anything. Because it was not the time yet, she could only wait until she went out.
As the whirlpool grew larger and larger, the dark sky seemed to be torn open by something, and dazzling white light poured down, illuminating everyone under the crack.
Countless monsters also became restless at this moment. Their eyes were blood red, staring at the only road leading to the human world. They rushed up desperately, but they were all forced down by the sword energy that split the sky. p>
Split Sky roared crazily at Lu Qingling: "Now!"
With the appearance of the crack in the human world, several people have recovered some spiritual power. Jiang Yanzhou threw the Wind Riding Orb, lifted everyone up out of thin air, and ran towards the direction of the crack.
Pan Fengying took Mo Wang away while no one was paying attention. Gu Qingling stood on tiptoe and looked down, but no matter what, they couldn't see any sign of them.
They were getting closer and closer to the crack. At this moment, the Nine Layers Demonic Palace trembled violently, the ground arched and cracked, and the vast sea of demonic energy spurted out, almost covering the entire ground, and it was still rising, and soon it was submerged.
to their original positions!
Gu Qingling said in a trembling voice: "What is that?"
Pei Hongdu lowered his eyes, "The seal of gathering spirits has been lifted, and the Demon Lord is about to wake up."
