The attack that Xia Qiu inflicted on the eight-foot-tall Ape Red Demon was like scratching an itch for him. He didn't even bother to summon a weapon, and only used the arm left outside to deal with it easily.
Although this monster's body is tall and moveable, it is very flexible, and even though he is just an illusory shadow now, it is still extremely hard. If he is not careful, the plum blade in Xia Qiu's hand will be caught by him with his bare hands.
Whenever the knife in his hand is controlled by him, it is like being attracted by a magnet. Just trying to pull it out requires a lot of effort. The Ape Red Demon sometimes shakes from side to side after holding the plum blade, disrupting Xia Qiu's balance, and then Then he took the opportunity to sneak attack her with his huge feet.
When the plum blade was once again caught by the ape-red demon, Xia Qiu held his breath and concentrated on steadying his feet. At the same time, he grasped the handle of the knife with both hands and pulled the knife out of his hand. He swung the knife down.
This knife brought up a whirlpool of demonic power and left a gap in his arm. He took two steps back, let out a weird scream, and finally showed two of his arms from behind.
Xia Qiu felt that the direction of the surrounding air flow was changing. It seemed that the Ape Red Demon wanted to take action now. But to her surprise, he did not rush to attack her. Instead, he laughed inexplicably and said: "Haha, I didn't expect that as a human being, you are really capable! Then let me play with you. Play!"
Then he jumped back, spitting out countless tubes from his open mouth that were the same as those he spit out when he tried to damage the hinges before, and stretched them into the air. Those squirming tubes looked disgusting, and at the end of them appeared one after another child-shaped black shadows. Those black shadows were his former donors. When they were selected and all the energy and vitality of their bodies were sucked away by the Ape Red Demon, their souls fell into the devil's path with him and became his slaves.
With a forceful flick, he detached the small shadows from the tube and lined them up densely in front of Xia Qiu.
"What are these?" Xia Qiu asked even though he had roughly guessed what these black shadows were.
"They were my former supporters, and now they are my most loyal subjects of the Red Ape Demon."
After the Ape Red Demon finished speaking, he waved his hand, and those small black shadows began to attack Xia Qiu together. She did not want to fight with the ghosts of these children, because they had already suffered such a tragic fate during their lives. Instead of finding peace after death, they fell into an even deeper and bottomless sea of suffering.
She tried to use the provoking method to let the Aru Red Demon call them back, so she shouted to him: "As a once great hero of the Demon Spirit Tribe, do you have to rely on a group of children to fight me now?!"
But the Ape Red Demon didn't take her advice at all, and retorted: "You are still a little green if you want to be my opponent. You have to defeat them first!"
As she spoke, the undead children attacked her at the same time. Their two arms were waving back and forth like two sickles, bringing up bursts of shrill wind, which forced her to dodge left and right. Even so, she was still delayed. Refusing to fight back, he had no choice but to let them leave scars one after another on his body.
At this moment, a weak figure suddenly rushed out and stood in front of her, shouting: "I don't allow you to hurt Sister Xia Qiu!"
When Xia Qiu saw that it was Heye, she couldn't help but be surprised that he also had the ability to escape from the soul, and he also wanted to rely on his own strength to protect her. Seeing the situation, the undead children turned around and prepared to attack him, but he did not flinch and opened his arms to protect his sister Xia Qiu.
She knew that she could no longer hesitate for a moment, and she had no choice but to be ruthless for the sake of hinges. She dodged over at a very fast speed and swung her knife several times to repel the undead closest to Heye, and then said to Heye behind her: "Heye, hide and stay away from that person!"
Before she finished speaking, the pipe in the mouth of the Ape Red Demon twisted like a snake and stabbed in this direction. She blocked it with her knife, grabbed the hinged hand and flew in the opposite direction, but the ghosts of the children followed. Come forward. On the one hand, she had to fend off these undead souls, and on the other hand, she had to protect the hinges from sneak attacks by the Ape Red Demon. She was in a hurry and suffered more and more wounds on her body.
The more moments like this come, the more she begins to miss her companions. This feeling of fighting alone and being attacked from both sides is despairing. In the past, every time she thought she had reached a desperate situation, they would always appear. Beside her, it was like rays of light brought her out of the haze and rekindled her hope.
"It's all because of me that Sister Xia Qiu got hurt!" Heye blamed himself more and more as he looked at everything that happened in front of him, and started to become depressed.
"Hingye, come with me! As long as you are willing to leave, I will never let them hurt that human girl again!" The Ape Red Demon took this opportunity to seduce him.
Although Heye was still confused by his words, his feet began to move closer to him involuntarily, until Xia Qiu grabbed him.
"Listen to me, Heye! You must stay and stay with your parents! You will change history and save many people's lives!" Xia Qiu said to him.
Her voice was like a clear spring that washed away the turbidity in Heye's heart. He gradually woke up and stopped, ran to the side, picked up a wooden stick, stood next to her and said, "Sister Xia Qiu, don't worry, I will protect you." My own!"
Xia Qiu smiled happily and looked at the sensible Heye. She knew more and more clearly that even if she was alone now, she must be strong because she was Heye's hope. If she gave up, then he would become The donors of the Ape Red Demon ended up with the same fate as the undead children. If she retreats, the Demon Spirit Tribe will face the crisis of extinction that cannot be reversed.
She silently called out in her heart: "Plum Blade, Plum Blade."
"Yes, my master!" Mei Ren's familiar voice reached her mind through the screams of the undead.
"I'm afraid it's time for you to show up again!" Xia Qiu first swung his knife back and forth to knock off the undead that were rushing towards him, and then turned to say to her.
"clear!"
After Mei Ren responded, her human form emerged from the knife. The woman in red with the white mask. Seeing her figure at this time made Xia Qiu feel an indescribable sense of intimacy, and it seemed that she suddenly had a sense of intimacy. A strong spiritual pillar.
"Master, let me deal with the undead of these children, you can just protect Hinaye!" Mei Ren said to Xia Qiu as he flicked his two red sleeves, revealing his arm with a plum blossom tattoo.
"Well, thank you!" Xia Qiu nodded gratefully.
"This knife...could it be given to you by Demon King Fox Li?" Ape Red Demon asked.
He had only heard that Li had a strange sword inhabited by a soul, which was forged by a ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom tree demon. Just seeing the power released by the all-black plum blade in the hands of this human girl made him feel that it was very unique. Different, I didn’t expect that she would be related to the Demon King Fox.
"Exactly!" Xia Qiu responded. With the help of Mei Ren, she seemed to be suddenly released, and her whole person became relaxed and confident.
"Everyone knows that I, the Ape Red Demon, always like to challenge strong people from all walks of life. It seems that I am really lucky today. I actually sent you to me. If I guessed correctly, you should be the Demon King Fox. The person who made the human blood pact. I have only heard that his person was a male, but I didn't expect that he was a girl. No, Li's person should have been dead for a long time, so you are..." The monkey red demon said to himself.
Xia Qiu didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so she took advantage of his distraction and seized the opportunity to attack him. He couldn't dodge and was struck by her knife on the left shoulder. Just as she was about to wave her hand to grab it, she kicked off her feet, pulled out the knife and dodged it with a backflip, and then used the rebound of the force when landing to backhand a horizontal roundhouse slash. The monkey red demon had no choice but to hide backwards. He sneered, but he didn't expect that he would be at a disadvantage in an instant.
This was his first time fighting against humans, and he couldn't help but sigh that the blood alliance would allow weak humans to have the ability to compete with big monsters like himself. While he was still alive, he began to rely on the Heaven-Eating Technique to continuously improve his abilities. At the beginning, he was able to control himself and only obtained appropriate energy from his donors without affecting their health. It will not endanger their lives. Who knew that after a long time, he would become obsessed with this sky-eating technique, just like a drug addict who begins to lose control of himself. He tried many ways to stop, but to no avail. He had no choice but to choose to destroy his own body to save his kindred from being destroyed.
I thought that his soul sealed in the bronze statue together with the fragrant soil would be foolproof, but the trapped soul still could not forget the pleasure of sucking the life force of a child. This unstoppable desire continued to torture him until his undead spirit was released from the bronze statue by Qingyun. At this time, his sanity had long since disappeared, and all that remained was the desire to continue practicing the Heaven-Eating Technique to gain strength. Sad.
He could no longer remember how many children of the demon spirit clan he had killed, but he had never found the most ideal provider, and Heyin happened to be a child with strong vitality that was rare in a century.
The reason why Heyin is able to live to such a large age is precisely because of the intentional actions of the Ape Red Demon. Just like waiting for a seed to grow into a big tree, he is also patiently waiting for his ideal donor to grow up. It needs to be bigger to provide him with more vitality, and now that he has finally waited for this moment to come, how can he allow a human being to interfere with it.
Angry flames burned in his chest. He clenched his two fists and struck the ground hard, driving up his demon power cyclone. Xia Qiu only felt a strong wind pushing him back, unable to stop him. This was what she had been doing all along. What I hope to see is the true power of the Ape Red Demon.
