I saw a pure white donkey in the distance, slowly coming towards Liying Sanctuary.
The donkey was about the same size as an ordinary donkey. It was pure white without a single hair. There was a bronze bell tied around its neck, which made a tinkling sound as its body swayed.
And on the back of the donkey, there was a human-like creature sitting. It was not clear what race it was, but it was only a man in green clothes.
The man was sitting sideways on the back of the donkey, with his legs crossed, one hand on his chest, and the other hand holding a string of rosary beads, and his fingers were gently moving them one by one.
If you look carefully at the rosary beads in his hand, you will find that they are not real beads, but small skulls as crystal clear as jade.
After countless years of refinement and immersion in the warmth of the palms, those little skulls have been polished to a crystal-clear jade, as if they were wrapped with a layer of porcelain.
However, in the eye sockets of each small skull, you can see a touch of evil red light. Looking slightly at that red light will make people's minds tremble, as if they are about to leave the body and fly towards the skull's eye sockets.
While the man was moving the little skull, he was muttering something in his mouth, but his eyes were closed. His peaceful look made it easy for people to think that he was out in the sun on an outing.
The donkey swayed towards the gate of Liying Sanctuary, staring at Han Sen and the others above the city gate with a pair of big sneaky eyes.
But it raised its head arrogantly and looked at Han Sen and the others from the corner of its eyes. It seemed to say that except for the guy on its back, I am the best in the world.
"Damn it, finally someone is alive. I will take people to kill them right away." The sheep stared at the man and the donkey hatefully and brayed.
"If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't bring anyone else with you." Gu Qingcheng said coldly, but his eyes were not looking at the sheep, but staring at the man on the donkey.
The sheep shrank in fear, realizing that the man was probably not someone to be trifled with.
Han Sen was also looking at the man sitting on the back of the white donkey, and recognized at a glance that the man must be the ancient demon that Gu Qingcheng said.
Although Han Sen has never seen the Ancient Demon himself, he has seen a shadow left by the Ancient Demon in the Ancient Demon Sanctuary in the Ghost Realm. There is almost no difference in body shape between the shadow and the Ancient Demon. The only difference is the temperament. That’s all.
The shadow looked like a god or a Buddha, but the ancient demon himself looked like an ordinary person. Except for the string of skull beads in his hand, he looked like a devout believer.
If they hadn't known that the one in the third shelter was a shadow, I'm afraid anyone would have thought that that one was the true form of the famous ancient demon.
Seeing that the white donkey was less than 200 meters away from the gate of the sanctuary, Gu Qingcheng's expression turned cold. The Chunjun ancient sword broke out of its sheath and struck at the ancient demon with a sword light that seemed to cut apart the heaven and earth.
As if the white donkey hadn't seen the overbearing sword light, it still walked slowly towards the gate of the shelter at its original speed and rhythm.
It wasn't until the sword light was about to hit the Ancient Demon's head that he raised the palm standing on his chest slightly, holding his four fingers slightly, and only his thumb came out and pressed on Gu Qingcheng's sword light.
The moment the flesh-and-blood thumb came into contact with the sword light, the sword light slid down the thumb's pad, like spring water, and flowed into the four finger holes in his half-grip.
In an instant, all the sword light was sucked in, and the ancient demon opened his palm, leaving only a piece of ashes inside.
At this time, the ancient demon opened his eyes, put his lips in front of his palm and blew gently, and the ashes turned into dust and scattered out, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The white donkey also stopped at this time. The ancient demon looked at Han Sen who was standing on the city gate tower, and said with a smile: "I am the ancient demon of Wujing Mountain. May I ask if you are the Heavenly Sword Han Sen?"
"I am Han Sen. I wonder what the Ancient Demon Emperor wants when he comes to me? Does he want to take my life just like the powerful men from all races?" Han Sen said looking at the Ancient Demon.
Han Sen didn't dare to look down upon the Ancient Demon in the slightest. A person who could design to kill the God, although he failed in the end, such a person should not be underestimated.
Just by looking at the people under him, you can tell that this guy is probably not easy to mess with. The Emperor of Heaven, Oni Yaksha, Xiangyin, Dragon Emperor, and Asura are almost none of them.
As the master of these powerful men, even though Asura rebelled and devoured the gods in the end, he was still able to escape unscathed and was eventually promoted to demigod. It must be said that this man is a legend in his own right.
The ancient demon was still smiling: "I don't want to be your enemy, but I am entrusted by a friend and hope to ask for a favor from you."
"It depends on who you are entrusted by and what kind of favor you are asking for." Han Sen said lightly. In fact, he already had the answer in his mind.
"The Lord of the God's Domain is my best friend. His youngest daughter, the Goddess, is young and ignorant, and I accidentally offended you. I hope you can be lenient and let her live. I am very grateful." The ancient demon bowed his head slightly and said in salute.
"What if I don't want to be lenient?" Han Sen looked at the ancient demon and said.
The ancient demon still lowered his head and did not raise it. He just sighed: "One life is exchanged for 3,456 lives. Your Excellency is equivalent to saving 3,456 lives. This is a great achievement of great Yin De. Like Your Excellency, Such wise people must know how to choose."
Hearing the ancient demon say these words, Han Sen's eyes suddenly showed a hint of killing intent.
Three thousand four hundred and fifty-six, this is exactly the total number of all the creatures in the sanctuary now, no more and no less.
"Did you kill the iron-backed wolf and the bone demon?" Han Sen stared at the ancient demon and asked coldly.
"In order to give you a favor, I have to do something difficult for those beings." The ancient demon said with compassion on his face.
"You killed my people to give me a favor?" Han Sen looked at the ancient demon and sneered.
The ancient demon explained calmly: "If I don't kill them, how do you know that I can kill those 3,456 lives? Now that you know that I can kill them, but I didn't kill them, isn't this 3,400 lives?" Fifty-six favors? In exchange for the life of the goddess, it should be enough."
All the people in the shelter were furious. Han Sen also sneered and said: "You did a good job in settling the score, but it's a pity that you still failed to settle the score."
"I wonder which account I've missed?" Ancient Demon asked as if he didn't understand.
"Don't worry about your own life." Han Sen moved and was in front of the ancient demon in an instant, slashing his head with the splitting knife in his hand.
