Chapter 171: I'm Lu Heng, Here to Look for My Friend
Above the lava mountain range, a pale light flew swiftly. The pitch-black billowing clouds followed behind with crackling lightning flashes, quickly covering the entire sky.
Clearly it was in broad daylight, however where the clouds had gone, darkness shrouded the land, and a chill wind whistled. The wrath of Heaven's punishment surged, trembling the hearts of everyone.
It is a despairing scene as if the end of the world had arrived.
In the lava lake, Wudou was not frightened by this exaggerated scene. It was not an evil demon, and it would not be panicked in the face of heavenly thunder.
But as the beast god of fire, the dark blue ancient sword tempered by thunder and fire made its eyes round and shocked beyond belief.
Can this sword be allowed by Heaven and Earth?
If the sword were to be drawn from its scabbard now, with murderous intent and energy locked inside, it would be even more terrifying...
Wudou swallowed his saliva unable to imagine such a scene.
Therefore, when it looked towards Evil Sword Valley, its heart was filled with shock and fear.
Erba God Man, these sixteen little monsters are even older than him. Although their cultivation is inferior, they are absolutely well-experienced.
The strange words occasionally heard from their mouths could even make Wudou, a god-beast who has lived for countless years feel surprised.
Wudou believed that these sixteen little monsters could have lived so many years without dying, and there must have been something that kept them alive.
But facing this darkblue ancient sword...
After a moment of hesitation, Wudou eventually left the Lava Lake and headed in the direction of the Evil Sword Valley.
Those sixteen monsters could be considered its old friends of many years, so at this time of danger, it should still go back and check the situation.
If the situation is not right, perhaps he can help them out.
Wudou had these thoughts in his heart, but he hung far behind the cloud, not daring to get too close.
Once the situation deteriorates, he is prepared to run.
At the same time, eight evil auras descended upon the valley between the mountains, gathering among the eight little girls who remained here under the dark miasma of the Evil Sword Valley.
After landing, the leader rushed to ask, "Second sister, where is the Demon Woman?"
The girl who he called "Second Sister" coldly looked at him without speaking.
By the side, the Third Brother was also anxiously asking, "Right, Second Sister, what about the Demon Woman? After she sent out the message, you guys didn't kill her, did you?"
After the Third Brother opened his mouth, the remaining few boys also started to chatter.
"Oh really? You guys didn't kill her, did you?"
"That Demon Woman is our hostage, it would be a real shame to kill her. Keeping her in our hands can be used as leverage against the White Wolf later on, right?"
"Come on, grab her quickly, and bring her to threaten the white wolf. In case we can't beat him, this serves as a backup plan..."
Several little boys blabbered on, yet the eight little girls in the valley merely looked at them coldly and said nothing.
Gradually, the voices of the eight little boys became weaker.
In the end, they all huddled behind the leader, some of them scared.
"Second Sister, why are you looking at us with that kind of look?"
"Wuuu... I'm so scared... Second Sister, don't be angry, okay?..."
"Cough. Second Sister, as the elder brother, I must be honest with you. We are not worried about that Demon Woman, we just wanted to use her as a hostage. Don't think too much about it."
After the leader spoke, the girl coldly laughed and said, "It's a coincidence that we thought of the same thing. We wanted to use the Demon Woman as a hostage, so we left her half-dead instead of killing her. But now, judging by your character, perhaps it would've been better if we had just killed the Demon Woman directly."
With a wave of her hand, the dark clouds draped over the top of the valley dispersed, revealing the scenery within.
In the full of pits and hollows mountain valley, there was a bright and pure round moon suspended in the air.
And the full moon cast a clean white light pillar that protected Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi in its center.
Lian Caiyi looked rather distressed now, although barely able to sustain the protection of Luna Pith Mirror, she had already been wounded and was no longer able to resist.
The Second Sister said coldly, "Before I kill her, shall I let you go down and play with this Demon Woman?"
The big brother of the boys waved his hands hastily and spoke righteously, "What are you talking about, Second Sister? We hate this Demon Woman to the bone! We just want to bite her flesh!"
"That's right, let us eat it!"
After the big brother spoke, the remaining seven little boys quickly joined in.
Upon seeing this scene, the girls all gave a cold laugh. Second Sister was about to speak, but suddenly sensed something.
All sixteen people in the Evil Sword Valley looked up in the distance.
They saw a bolt of bright white lightning flying quickly toward this place from the distant sky.
After the lightning, dark and violent storm clouds surged behind it, closely following the lightning. Wherever it went, the sky was completely blackened and the earth was pitch black.
Looking far away, the pale lightning seeping in seemed to pull a dark curtain rumblingly.
Raging gusts of wind howl through the mountains and forests.
The chilling power of awe and punishment terrified countless birds, causing them to shriek and flee in all directions.
The terror in the sky of birds flying away brought a solemn look to the faces of the sixteen little children.
"He arrived so quickly..."
The big brother's expression became serious, "This old fellow, as expected, has the power to control lightning!"
The spectacles had seen previously at sea by mirage, were only conjectures made by them that the White Wolf might have divine powers to incite the thunderbolts.
But now, having witnessed with his own eyes the fearsome sight of the dark clouds surging, Erba God Man has finally come to a full realization of this matter.
A little boy swallowed and was afraid.
"This... This old monster can't only summon thunder, but he can also control the heavenly disaster!"
He fearfully looked at the older siblings around him, "This power, it is even more powerful than we expected!"
In the fierce gust of wind, the big brother was silent for a moment, before he gave a cold snort.
"What are you afraid of? We are existences who have served the Emperor! Haven't we seen any big scenes before? We've survived the great disaster, so why should we be afraid of this little wolf?"
"Today, my siblings and I will work together to show this arrogant white wolf what it means to be a true ancient hero!"
The big brother roared, "Form up!"
In an instant, sixteen human figures in the valley were all intertwined, stretching out their hands to grasp the hands of people around them.
When Lu Heng arrived with the sweeping clouds, what he saw were sixteen children holding hands and forming a line, flying up into the sky.
If someone who didn't know saw this scene, they might think it was just a group of children going on an outing together.
Lu Heng was surprised for a moment, stopping in midair.
Keeping a distance neither too near nor too far, he looked at the sixteen children in a row in the sky ahead and bowed to indicate his presence.
"My name is Lu Heng and I am here to look for my friend. Please lend me a helping hand, Erba God Man."
Behind Lu Heng, the dark blue ancient sword on Xiao Ai's back was humming softly, as if it couldn't restrain its desire to unsheath itself.
