Chapter 343: My Name Is Candle Dragon
Lian Cangqing's stunning and abrupt scream shattered the almost suffocating silence on the battlefield.
The demons and wizards suddenly regained their senses, but at this moment, both sides of good and evil stopped their hands tacitly and silently looked at the shocking and inexplicable Lian Cangqing in the void.
And Lu Heng, who was being questioned by Lian Cangqing.
Jiu Mie, shining in golden light, clasped his hands together and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, that's it. Friend Lu Heng is the one who rescued you from the cage that was like a sea of suffering."
"He traveled three thousand li with one sword, and his sword aura covered fifteen cities. Where his sword fell was the place where the girl was sealed."
"When the sword aura fell, it broke the seal of the evil cauldron, and that's what allowed the girl to see the daylight."
Lu Heng's face changed drastically when he heard Jiu Mie's words, and he hurriedly said, "You can't say such things lightly, my friend! You can't just say whatever you want!"
If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter that Jiu Mie said that. After all, a normal person would know that it was Lu Heng who saved her and would surely repay the favor.
But the woman in front of him is like a lunatic…
Under the astonished gaze of onlookers, Lian Cangqing, dressed in vibrant silk and a blood-stained dress, snorted coldly and said,
"I knew it was you!"
Looking at Lu Heng again, Lian Cangqing said, "Thank you very much for saving me. There is something I must tell you."
"During the first millennium I was trapped underground, I told myself that if someone could rescue me, I would kill for them, regardless of the strength of the target."
"During the second millennium, I vowed that if someone could rescue me, I would fulfill one of their wishes and satisfy one of their requests."
"During the tenth millennium, I swore that if someone could rescue me, I would devote myself to them, even until death."
"And by the twentieth millennium, and even in the long and distant time that followed, so distant that even I forgot how long I had been underground, I told myself every day and every night."
"If someone rescues me from underground, I will tear them to pieces!"
Amid Jiu Mie's stunned gaze, Lian Cangqing, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, revealed a brilliant and ferocious smile to Lu Heng.
"Congratulations, Lu Heng. From this day on, Lian Cangqing will be with you in life and in death!"
In the mountains and forests, both the righteous and evil sides were dumbfounded when they heard these words.
Lu Heng covered his face with an expression of unbearable pain and said, "My friend, you have really screwed me over this time…"
After speaking, facing Lian Cangqing's bright smile, Lu Heng sighed and said, "You can kill me, but you'll have to step over the body of my friend first. Your martial arts skills are indeed impressive, but you cannot even break through my friend's indestructible golden body, so you are not qualified to kill me."
"First, break through my friend's indestructible golden body, then we'll talk about other things."
With just one sentence, Lu Heng left Jiu Mie stunned and speechless, "Hey, hey! Friend Lu Heng, you…"
Lian Cangqing snorted coldly and looked again at Jiu Mie, who was shining in a golden light, saying, "Before killing you, I naturally have to destroy this old monk first."
"However, considering that you have no time today, I'll spare your lives. But come back another day and I'll kill you… Hey! Old monk, what's your name?" asked Lian Cangqing.
Jiu Mie looked bitter and clasped his hands together, sighing heavily. "I am the God of Zhong Mountain, Zhu Jiuyou," he said. "If the young lady wants to pursue this matter, just come to Zhong Mountain and I, Zhu Jiuyou, will accompany you at any time." (Zhu Jiuyou: the Candle Dragon's name)
As Jiu Mie said this, the expressions of both sides, the righteous and the evil, became extremely subtle.
Lian Cangqing nodded and said, "Good! Jiu Mie, the one at the peak of immortality and the most arrogant in the world? I'll remember that."
After speaking, Lian Cangqing, dressed in bloody clothes, didn't even look at the reactions of Lu Heng and Jiu Mie. She directly vanished into the sky with her nimble light.
But it was true that she had no intention of intervening in the matter of Lu Heng and others eradicating demons today.
Watching Lian Cangqing leave, Lu Heng coughed and said, "My life and property will rely on you from today on. As long as you are alive, this woman won't come after me… Well, my friend, you must take care of yourself."
Jiu Mie's expression became more and more sorrowful.
"Alas… fate plays tricks on us, fate plays tricks on us, how could she know my name…"
Jiu Mie murmured, then looked down at the many demons in the mountains and said, "Let's take out the demons here first… Several weaklings escaped during the previous attempt to kill the Lord of All Demons couple."
"We can't let the remaining ones back into the mountains."
Jiu Mie's words made Lu Heng nod. "I completely agree with my friend's opinion. Let's take out the demons here first, then we'll see."
As he spoke, Lu Heng looked in the direction of the distance.
But he wasn't looking towards Hanyu Mountain because he had already somewhat grasped the situation within the mountain through the miniature version of the Heavenly Thunder Prison on Huo Feng's wrist.
However, what Lu Heng was looking at was the direction in which a demon was escaping.
Earlier when the Lord of All Demons and his wife were surrounded and killed, several of the demons led by Madame Green Bamboo took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net.
Madame Green Bamboo, who had met Lu Heng several times but had never fought him, seemed timid but was actually also in the innate realm. Her cultivation was not inferior to that of Xiao Juechen among the Four Elders.
Placed outside, she could also be considered a big demon of the demonic path.
However, it seems that most of her cultivation was focused on the spells for self-preservation and fleeing.
During the battle between the wizards and demons inside the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net, the pressure Madame Green Bamboo brought to the wizards was the weakest among the Four Elders and the three demon generals.
However, when the flaw of the Demon Binding Net was exposed, she was the only demon among all present who managed to break free from the net using magic and flee with several other demon generals.
However, even though Madame Green Bamboo managed to escape, the wizards had no intention of letting her go.
Gongshu Jie directly chased after her alone.
With Gongshu Jie's strength, Madame Green Bamboo would probably find it difficult to escape unscathed…
At this thought, Lu Heng's emotions became somewhat complex.
This green snake is intricately entangled with him in a web of karma.
Not to mention that Lu Heng's past was harmed by Madame Green Bamboo, even the little fox that he admires was raised by Madame Green Bamboo herself…
Despite the numerous karmic ties between the two, Madame Green Bamboo is nothing but an insignificant minor character to the present-day Lu Heng.
Whether she dies under Gongshu Jie's hands or escapes from him, it seems unimportant to Lu Heng.
Just like this group of demons from the Green Hell Cave in front of him.
They were the first group of demonic cultivators that Lu Heng encountered after arriving in this world, and the dark cloud that had been hanging over his head for a long time.
But today's Green Hell Cave has already been defeated and completely ruined.
In Lu Heng's heart, the three words "Green Hell Cave" no longer hold any weight.
For the present Lu Heng, it is more important to deal with the abducted Sun Yan than to take care of the remaining aftermath, sweep away the remnants of the demonic cultivators.
Just tying up loose ends, one should also participate personally.
Consider it a farewell to the previous self.
Lu Heng smiled and looked into the distance once again.
Just wait a little longer, Sun Yan. Your master will come to save you soon.
