Feng Huo's mind quickly replayed the final scene of the duel with Mammoth.
After seeing him kneeling on the ground, Mammoth decided to give him a fatal blow with his final special move "Taishan Pressure". The so-called "Taishan Pressure" is to jump up and lock the opponent's neck with one arm, and then turn sideways to push his huge body. Press down on your opponent, and while pressing down, use your free arm to lift the locked neck up. Once this move is used, the opponent's neck will break instantly and he will die.
The onlookers nearby have lost interest in this competition, and only a few people are still willing to stay and witness this extremely cruel killing scene. The duel in the demon world is like this. Once you stand in the ring, you have to resign yourself to fate. The winning side can do whatever they want with the loser. Mammoth is relatively good. He kills any challenger who loses to him with one strike and never humiliates or tortures him.
Feng Huo didn't know why, but he, who had never been afraid of life and death, had a strong desire to survive at this moment. He suddenly understood and thought that in a battle, when the opponent's strength is much higher than his own, then he should give up the so-called gorgeous moves. No matter how terrible the moves are, the truth is to save his life first and then attack by surprise.
When the mammoth shouted loudly and jumped up to press towards him, the cyclone of demonic power brought up a huge wave that made Feng Huo almost unable to move. At the critical moment, he curled up his body, waiting for the moment when the mammoth's demonic power relaxed when it tried to strangle his neck, and then dodge.
He saw the opportunity, and when the mammoth was only a few millimeters away from pressing on his back, he concentrated his strength and rushed out from under him, using his proud speed to gain a glimmer of life for himself. Due to the huge size of the mammoth, it was very difficult to get up after landing. Fenghuo knew that his good luck had come and instantly transformed into his original form.
The remaining onlookers didn't understand what he wanted to do. Before they could react, they only saw the lightning-fast shadow flying back and forth in front of the mammoth several times. When he came back to his senses, the mammoth lying on the ground in the middle had lost its sharp tusks. Half of the tusks were bitten in the Fenghuo Mouth, which was still in the shape of a leopard, and the rest were scattered around the field.
"ah… "
The mammoth howled in pain, and lost its original domineering power and could no longer continue fighting.
But Feng Huo only remembered that after everyone recognized his victory, he fell down and lost consciousness.
The door of memories was slowly closed, and Fenghuo now fell into the same disadvantage as back then. The fire hyena, which had an obvious advantage, and countless replica phantoms belonging to him were condescending, surrounding him layer by layer, ready to attack in groups at any time and take his life. In the cyclone of demonic power from the fire hyena, the demonic power of Fenghuo is like a candle in the wind, swaying and almost extinguished by it.
The fire hyena finally lost its patience and controlled countless phantoms of its own to kill the wind and fire together. At that moment, Fenghuo's world had turned gray-white, and no sound could be heard in his ears. He transformed into the leopard's body like a conditioned reflex.
The leopard tore open a hole in the fire mane's demonic cyclone with its sharp teeth, and got out through the gap. Then it turned around and concentrated all its strength to attack the countless fire hyenas one by one with lightning speed. Regardless of which ones were the fire hyenas and which ones were his phantoms, there was only one voice in its mind, which was to kill them all. tear.
"Blazing Wind Blade!"
The move that helped him win at the last minute during the battle with the mammoth hundreds of years ago finally has a name for it today! And this time, this move also allowed him to make a shocking comeback and seal the victory.
All the phantoms created by the undead fire mane died in the flames left by the wind and fire demon power, leaving only the dying body. He never dreamed that the true strength of the wind and fire would be so powerful.
He was lying on the ground, pleading to the Ring of Beiming: "Where are you? Why don't you come out? Help me! I don't want to disappear yet..."
But the Ring of Beiming was obviously disappointed with him and no longer responded to his calls. Because it has chosen its next master, a monster more powerful than the fire hyena appears in front of it, that is, the wind and fire. As the power continued to dissipate, Fire Mane's undead body gradually became unable to take shape. He began to appear and disappear, and the Ring of Beiming also fell from his translucent body. Fenghuo returned to his human form, stepped forward, and picked up the ring.
The fire mane stretched out his hand to him and begged: "Please, don't take it away! I don't want to disappear like this! Those golds belong to me, they are my gold..."
Listening to his feeble voice, Feng Huo felt a pity in his heart. The once unparalleled king among the leopard demon clan had now fallen into such a miserable state.
He looked at him, shook his head and said, "Brother, don't be obsessed with regrets! Let go of everything in the past, and let me give you a ride!"
"Haha, you must think you are stronger than me, right?! Let me tell you, even you can't resist its temptation. It will capture your heart. This is my curse on you."
The sound of the fire mane still echoed in the air, but his body had disappeared. Feng Huo didn't quite understand what his last words meant. He just looked down at the Ring of Beiming in his palm.
The ring made of tungsten gold shone with rose-colored light, and there were colorful streams of light surrounding it. Although it was just a small ring without any decoration, it was still in a space with not enough light, so it was difficult to hide it. beauty of. That kind of beauty did have the power to enchant people. He couldn't help but pick it up from his hand and put it on the little finger of his left hand.
"You are already the true king and the most powerful warrior among the leopard demons. Now let me help you become the king of the demon world!"
The evil voice from the ring sounded again. Feng Huo tried hard to keep his will clear. After putting on the ring, his soul was like a prey that fell into a trap. The Ring of Beiming was the hunter who set the trap. Controlling him completely is as easy as catching a turtle in a urn.
Fenghuo began to have various hallucinations, and the entire main hall first became like a kaleidoscope, and then simply fell into darkness. When the light came again, the scene had changed. He took a closer look and saw that it was in the Yuheng Hall of the Chenji Palace. He was being served by a demon servant, wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with gold and silver threads. The thick material and exquisite burrs , is a style that he would never try on ordinary days. He looked at himself in the mirror and seemed to be younger and more handsome than before. Then he thought about the saying that people rely on their clothes. Could it be that the same is true for monsters
"My king, the two elders and princes are already waiting in the main hall. The celebration is about to begin!" A demon servant walked in and said respectfully.
"Celebration? What kind of celebration?" Feng Huo couldn't react at the moment.
"New Year's celebration, have you forgotten?" the demon servant asked with a surprised expression on his face.
"Oh..." Feng Huo nodded in response.
Recall that it has been three years since he became the Lord of the Demon Realm. In the Demon King election meeting three years ago, the elders and princes rejected the proposal for Demon King Fox to succeed to the throne, and instead elected him to become the new leader of the demon world. Over the years, Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiaoleng have chosen to return to the human world to live in Ouyang's ancient house, and because Qingyun has not committed any crimes, the royal city is also very peaceful. He spent all day doing nothing in Chenji Palace, wasting time, becoming more and more lazy, and even his memory deteriorated.
He followed the demon servants towards the main hall of Tianquan. The two elders Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng and many princes had gathered here, and they all saluted him when they saw his arrival. He is the first person in the leopard demon clan to become the master of the demon world. He has become a legend in the entire demon world. No one dares to look back on the unbearable fate of Huo Huo, the master of Nanzhe City, who listened to Qingyun and finally destroyed Nanzhe City. of the past.
He raised his glass and walked past everyone, accepting praises and blessings from all sides, and his whole person became elated. He had never been so carefree and happy as at this moment in his life, as if everything in the world was under his control, and everyone surrendered at his feet. He raised his head and drank the wine from the glass, his face showing unprecedented pride and satisfaction.
Something in his hand clinked with the wine glass, and he saw it was the Ring of Beiming. The rose-colored ring looked so harmonious on his hand. When did this ring get to him? He couldn't remember clearly. He only remembered that it should have belonged to Huo Hye. In the past, Huo Hye was too superstitious about the power of this ring and carried it day and night. Now he has the same state of mind, as if he took it off. You will lose everything you have in front of you.
But the more carefully he looked at it, the emptier he felt in his heart. It was like a bottomless pit, bringing up countless desires in his heart and making him forget what his original purpose was. He always felt that there was something very important. Things were missed by him, and his whole heart became no longer so peaceful and happy.
"After you brought the Ring of Beiming back to Chenji Palace, the demon world began to have good luck. I really saw you right, Fenghuo!" Lion King Cheng came over and toasted to him.
"Bring it back to Chenji Palace? Where did I bring it back?" Feng Huo asked.
"Nan Zhejiang, after cleaning up the remaining mourning ghosts there, you found the body of Huo Huan in Cangjin Pavilion and took off the Ring of Beiming from his hand!" Lion King Cheng looked at him with some doubts. answer.
After being reminded like this, he seemed to remember that he did get the ring from the hand of the fire hyena at that time, but it was not easy to get it. In order to get it, he paid a huge price. And the reason why he went to southern Zhejiang to look for this ring should be to destroy some of Qingyun's conspiracy. He tried hard to recall the clues about that conspiracy in his mind.
Suddenly the words "alchemy" appeared in his mind. It was the spell that Huo Xiang, the Lord of Nanzhe City, was most obsessed with, and it was also the key to Qingyun being able to deceive him. The thing he wanted to destroy in Nanzhe at that time happened to be related to alchemy. Qingyun wanted to rely on the Ring of Beiming to complete the Qi Lie Formation, and he was sent to destroy this ring.
He finally understood the meaning of Huo Hye's last words. Everything in front of him was an illusion caused by the Ring of Beiming. Like Huo Hye, he was also confused by this ring. But when he was about to take it off his finger, the ring began to speak again.
"Isn't this what you want? If you are willing to protect me, I will definitely help you make all of this a reality!"
"Haha, I didn't expect that I was also confused by you. I originally laughed at Huo Hye for being so smart, but I was confused for a while, but now it seems that there is no difference between me and him."
Feng Huo thought that fortunately he had not reacted too late. He took off the Ring of Beiming from his hand and placed it on the ground. Then he summoned the wind ax and prepared to smash it.
Beimingzhijie began to plead again: "Leave me here, you were obviously very happy just now!"
Feng Huo no longer wanted to be fooled by him, so he swung the ax and hit it. Unexpectedly, after the sparks flew, a gap appeared on the ax, but the ring was still intact.
He had no choice but to put the ring in his pocket, planning to discuss how to destroy it with Ouyang Hongye and the others when he returned to the royal city.
