Chapter 381: We Didn't Laugh, Indeed!
Upon the long street, incessant cries of demons echoed.
Lu Heng, who, in the end, had not yet reached the innate realm, found it challenging to inflict harm upon these two innate demons by means of conventional magical techniques. He could only rely on the Requiem Seal to gradually erode and annihilate the souls of these malevolent creatures.
However, the piercing and mournful cries of these two demons attracted unexpected individuals.
"Who is wailing there?"
In the instant when the voice of a woman resounded, the long street suddenly fell into silence.
Lu Heng, who was emanating an aura of lifelessness, instinctively halted his movements.
And under the Requiem Seal, the two demonic souls that had been relentlessly battered and smashed by the sweeping waves of deathly light, their bodies covered in cracks, on the verge of shattering at any moment, finally found a moment of respite.
They huddled in the corner, filled with an immense fear as they gazed upon the madman of darkness before them, and the crimson-clad woman who appeared suddenly not far away, unaware of what had occurred.
At the end of the long street, Lian Cangqing, adorned in a crimson garb, appeared less composed than the two demonic beings.
Upon catching sight of the lifeless Lu Heng, her eyebrows furrowed instantly, her countenance filled with astonishment and anger.
"The Heavenly Demon Lord!"
On the long street, the chilly gusts of wind howled incessantly.
With fury in her eyes, Lian Cangqing, locked her gaze upon Lu Heng, gritted her teeth and uttered the words, "You… you haven't died?!"
Upon the long street, echoed the laughter of a woman gone mad.
"Hahaha… Heaven aids me too! Heaven aids me too! If you haven't died by the hands of Lu Heng, it shall be my duty to slay you, you scoundrel! Hahaha…"
Amidst the hysterical laughter of the woman in red, the two demonic beings in the corner grew increasingly terrified in their expressions.
It's done. Another lunatic…
Upon witnessing Lian Cangqing's intense reaction, Lu Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily responded, "You've mistaken me, I am not the Heavenly Demon Lord!"
Lian Cangqing, however, sneered repeatedly and said, "You exude an aura of death, coupled with your persistent deception… You say you are not the Heavenly Demon Lord? Do you take me for a fool?"
"If you claim not to be the Heavenly Demon Lord," Lian Cangqing said, "then I shall give you a chance. Unveil your deception and let me see your true form! If you are not the Heavenly Demon Lord, I will immediately let you go!"
Lian Cangqing's gaze fixedly locked onto Lu Heng, who stood on the long street.
The deeply engraved gaze filled with hatred sent shivers down Lu Heng's spine.
Clearly, it was evident that not only were "the Heavenly Demon Lord" and Lian Cangqing familiar with each other, but they were also true mortal enemies, the kind who wished to devour one another's flesh and drink each other's blood!
Lu Heng felt a cry of bitterness in his heart, experiencing an unbearable headache.
If he were not Lu Heng, removing the illusion would have sufficed. But unfortunately, he was indeed Lu Heng…
The identity hidden beneath the illusion, as well as the true identity beneath the illusion, happen to be the very person that Lian Cangqing intends to kill.
Regardless of which identity Lu Heng assumes, there is no possibility of reconciliation today… How unfortunate it is to have encountered Lian Cangqing, this formidable woman, precisely at this moment of ill fate.
Deep inside, Lu Heng secretly lamented as he ultimately, under the scrutiny of Lian Cangqing and the two wicked demons, dispersed his cold aura, revealing his true countenance.
When Lu Heng, dressed in elegant white attire, appeared on the streets, both wicked demons were left dumbfounded, utterly startled by his presence.
"The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain?!"
In this moment, they finally understood why this "cultivator of the dark path" could utter such righteous and resolute words.
So it turns out this fellow is indeed a person of the righteous path!
The appearance of wickedness is merely an illusion disguised by Him!
At the end of the vast street, when Lian Cangqing caught a glimpse of Lu Heng's true visage, she couldn't help but momentarily freeze in astonishment.
Subsequently, a brilliant smile emerged.
"Oh… isn't this the Wolf God Lu from Hanyu Mountain? What gust of wind brought you here? Don't tell me, the Heavenly Demon Lord that I encountered before in the Green Hell Cave was also your disguise."
In an instant, Lian Cangqing deduced the karma, while Lu Heng forced a series of bitter smiles, yet also attempted to take advantage of the opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding.
"It is indeed I who disguised myself," said Lu Heng, "Everything was a misunderstanding, the Heavenly Demon Lord was a scheme devised from the very beginning to deceive the Lord of All Demons."
"Therefore, it is also untrue that I took Miss Lian away first, or killed the Heavenly Demon Lord… well, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Miss Lian should be able to let me off, shouldn't she?"
Lu Heng had a sincere expression on his face.
However, Lian Cangqing burst into repeated cold laughter and said, "Let you off? What a joke! I publicly declared my intention to kill you in front of everyone, and now you're telling me that it was all a ruse to deceive me, and I should just let it slide? Wouldn't that make me a laughingstock!"
Lian Cangqing, with a piercing gaze, said, "Since I have declared my intention to kill you, I will certainly do so! I will not renege on my words!"
"As for the so-called misunderstanding… ha… you possess the cultivation method of the Heavenly Demon Lord's 'Demon Sutra'. Do you dare to tell me that you have no connection with it? Do you think I am a fool?"
"Tell me! Where did you obtain the 'Demon Sutra'? Has the Heavenly Demon Lord already been annihilated by your hand?"
The questioning from Lian Cangqing left Lu Heng feeling helpless.
He said, "The Heavenly Demon Lord has not been annihilated by me, but rather sealed within a divine demon burial ground, alongside numerous ancient demons. It was purely by accident that I obtained the 'Demon Sutra' when I mistakenly entered that burial ground. I truly have no connection with the Heavenly Demon Lord."
Lu Heng spoke the truth, but little did he expect that Lian Cangqing, upon hearing his words, would suddenly burst into a contemptuous laughter.
She said, "The Divine Demon Tomb is the Emperor's burial ground for countless beings, and it is an absolute dead place. It wouldn't be surprising if the Heavenly Demon Lord were buried within it. However, for you to enter that tomb and still come out alive? Do you take me for a fool to be deceived?"
Lian Cangqing's voice was filled with anger, "Tell me! How did you acquire the 'Demon Sutra'? Where exactly is that scoundrel, the Heavenly Demon Lord? If you don't provide a clear explanation today, I assure you, you will beg for death but it will be denied to you!"
Amidst the chilly gusts of wind, Lian Cangqing approached Lu Heng directly.
It was evidently an eruption of her anger that had reached its limit, no longer able to be restrained.
Upon witnessing this situation, Lu Heng felt a deep sense of helplessness, realizing that words alone could no longer bring calmness to this woman who resembled a madwoman.
He took a step back, saying, "Xiao Ai, the Heavenly Thunder Sword."
With a casual remark, Lian Cangqing, who was originally furious, instantly retreated several meters, maintaining a safe distance while assuming a defensive stance.
"Very well! Today, I shall have the pleasure of experiencing your… Lu Heng!!!"
The woman's hysterical roar of fury reverberated throughout half of the city.
As Lian Cangqing stepped back, creating distance and assuming a defensive posture, Lu Heng, who had assumed a sword stance, swiftly and without looking back, fled with Xiao Ai.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them vanished at the end of the street, their whereabouts unknown.
This scene drove Lian Cangqing into a furious frenzy.
However, within this peculiar city, she found herself unable to easily pursue the scent like she could in the real world.
This time, losing the trail meant truly losing it.
Lian Cangqing, who had lost her target of hatred, clenched her fist slightly and remained silent for a while. Then, she slowly turned her head towards the two demonic spirits huddled in the corner.
She said in a cold voice, "Do you find it amusing?"
In the corner, the two demonic spirits huddled and trembled, instantly freezing in place.
They weren't laughing at all!
However, the woman in the crimson attire had already begun to approach them slowly.
At that moment, the two demonic spirits were enveloped by an immense and desperate shadow…
