The Path of the Sage

Chapter 288: See you again, the evil king

Views:

Lang Li on the bone fragment stared at Fang Yun blankly, too scared to speak.

"What's wrong? Didn't you ask me to save you? Why don't you dare to speak? Speak now, because if you speak, you can still survive. If you don't speak, you will die forever." Fang Yun said.

"Alas... This matter has nothing to do with me. You have also seen those demons at the door. One of them is a very cunning fox demon. He judged that you are extraordinary from the fact that you led those scholars into the seventh corridor. You are even not inferior to the Kong Family Dragon. The demons will never tolerate such a big disaster. Back then, for a Kong Family Dragon, the Demon King was seriously injured and a Demon Saint had to recuperate for a hundred years. Now there is a chance to kill you early, and we must not miss it. It's really not that I want to kill you, it's the problem of that fox demon."

Fang Yun remembered that the fox demon had indeed left early, but he didn't expect that it was for him to report to the Demon Saint.

"Will the Demon Saint really kill me?" Fang Yun asked.

The Wolf Barbarian Saint hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally, it wouldn't happen, but after the fifth movement of Wenqu, the demon clan has re-listed some key figures on the hunting list, and all the bounties have doubled. For example, Li Wenying's bounty has been quadrupled, which shows how much the demon saints value this matter. In fact, it's not scary that you, a genius, have come to the seventh corridor. What's scary is that more than a dozen geniuses have come to the seventh corridor together. This means that if nothing unexpected happens, these more than ten people will become great scholars after a few decades of hard work! Especially Yan Yukong and Kong Delun, and you. If the three of you are successful in the future, you will definitely become Wenzong, and there is a great possibility that you will even become a semi-saint! In other words, everyone's chance of becoming a saint has increased by 10%!"

"A 10% chance of becoming a saint? That's not small. Even Yan Yukong only had a 50% chance of becoming a saint before." Fang Yun said.

"I never thought you could pass the fourth corridor, but you not only passed it, but also reached the seventh corridor in groups! Even including the followers, there are only about twenty of us from the demon and barbarian tribes who have come here, and your number is almost the same! If your generation grows up smoothly, it will become a nightmare for us demon and barbarian tribes!"

Fang Yun said: "What you said seems to make sense. I was only focused on moving forward in the Comet Corridor. I didn't have time to consider the impact in the future. Yes, this time the Comet Corridor will indeed bring them a complete transformation, but for me, it is not enough! Therefore, I want to sit on the Star Throne."

The Wolf Barbarian Saint stared at Fang Yun and said slowly, "It is said that the Demon King is the leader of our race's revival, but he used various means such as exploitation, assassination, and alienation to reach the Star Throne. He got the Star King title by stepping on the corpses of the Demon and Barbarian races. You are different. You used your arms to lift your people to the Seventh Corridor. You sublimate the power of an entire generation of the human race. You are more like the leader of revival than the Demon King. If the Demon Saint didn't know what happened in the Comet Corridor, it would be fine if he didn't kill you. If he knew and still kept you, then all of my demons would have died of stupidity long ago!"

"Alas... I just wanted to seize the Star King, but I attracted the Demon Saint. Do you have any way to let me escape?" Fang Yun was never blindly arrogant. Since he knew that the Demon Saint was coming, he could not stay in the Comet Corridor. Even if the Demon Saint did not dare to come in, he could only wait for death.

The Wolf Barbarian Saint said, "You can't escape. This news will spread to the demon world in a very short time. The demon saints will definitely go to the Saint Tree to discuss it. They will come here in an hour at most, or even faster. The Demon Ancestor Gate is part of the demon world. So as long as the demon saints join forces, they can send a demon saint here, but this place is not connected to the Holy Yuan Continent. Even a semi-saint of the human race can only enter through the Holy Ruins and the bronze giant gate. Now that the bronze giant gate is closed, it is impossible for a semi-saint to come in. A sub-saint can come, but it will take several hours. Unfortunately, there is no sub-saint in the human race."

"So, I will definitely die?"

The Wolf Saint remained silent.

"Then why did you let me save you?"

Lang Li said: "As long as you carry me with you, when the Demon Saint kills you, I can communicate with the Demon Saint and ask it to take me back after killing you. I have said everything I can, and I hope you can save my life."

"Oh, I see." Fang Yun continued to run towards the direction of the Star Throne. His steps never stopped. His eyes kept changing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing Fang Yun didn't speak for a long time, Lang Li said anxiously: "I have said everything I should say, why are you still staying in the Seventh Corridor? Why don't you leave the Comet Corridor quickly and look for an opportunity? I am telling the truth. If I wanted to harm you, I would not have said that the Demon Saint was coming soon, but would have tricked you out of the Comet Corridor first, and then delayed time to wait for the Demon Saint to come in person!"

"The reason why you don't say that is because you know you can't fool me!" Fang Yun said.

Lang Li had no choice but to shut his mouth, realizing that he was no match for Fang Yun in any aspect.

Fang Yun stopped talking and continued to run forward, even using the Sprint War Poem several times in succession, running like the wind.

"Aren't you going to escape? Why are you heading towards the Star Throne? Would you rather die at the hands of these demon generals than at the hands of the Demon Saint?"

Fang Yun didn't answer.

Lang Li said: "In fact, I have a way to absolutely keep you safe. It can allow you to leave the Holy Ruins safely, and no one will dare to cause trouble to you in the future. I wonder if you want to listen to it!"

Fang Yun's gaze swept across Lang Li's portrait, with a hint of contempt and sarcasm in his eyes.

The Wolf Saint shut up.

After a while, Lang Li sighed and said, "If you become a rebellious scholar, you can live; if you don't become a rebellious scholar, you will die! This is a very simple choice. Why do you despise me? I just want to survive."

"I study, not to become a rebellious scholar!"

Fang Yun's words were sonorous and powerful, and his literary courage was ringing. The poisonous blades dozens of feet around him flew in all directions, and there was peace around Fang Yun.

Lang Li suddenly screamed.

Fang Yun looked down and saw that the portrait of Lang Li on the bone fragment quickly faded, and finally only a thin layer remained.

Fang Yun said: "I didn't mean it, but you were so unlucky that you almost died."

"You... stop making sarcastic remarks! Since you almost killed me with just one word, you must be the one who made the Holy Voice appear with just one word in the sixth corridor, right? No one else can do that except you!"

Fang Yun didn't say anything and continued running.

After a long while, Lang Li said, "I understand. Do you want to kill a few more demons and savages as burial companions before you are killed by the Demon Saint?"

"I want to sit on the Star Throne and wait for the Demon Saint to come." Fang Yun said.

Lang Li looked at Fang Yun and sighed softly.

"Even if you die, you will leave a glorious life. I really admire you. How wonderful it would be if you were the Holy Son of my demon race. The Demon King? He is just a senior whom you have surpassed. What a pity. What a pity. If you don't rebel, you will die."

Fang Yun said: "Don't worry, I will send you off before the Demon Saint arrives."

"You..." Lang Li was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Not long after, Lang Li suddenly laughed and said, "It's worth it to die with the first genius of the human race in thousands of years. Perhaps I can leave my name in the history books of the apes or humans. You should also be honored that a mere scholar was killed by a half-saint in person. It has never happened before!"

"Honored? No, I am not lower than he, and he is not higher than me."

"Huh, you seem to be quite boastful now. What would you dare to do when you see the Demon Saint?" Lang Li asked.

"I will use all my life to write war poems, and sacrifice my life for the sake of justice. I will die calmly."

Lang Li looked at Fang Yun in surprise and found that his expression was extremely calm. He was not panicked at all by the coming of the Demon Saint, and he did not even have the generosity to die. It seemed that he would treat the person who came equally, whether it was a Demon Saint or a Demon Soldier.

"Why aren't you a demon..."

Along the way, Lang Li repeated the same sentence over and over again.

Fang Yun ran all the way and saw traces left by the monsters from time to time.

The wind and snow are getting heavier.

The number of poisonous blades and snow gradually increased, and the speed of their rotation became faster and faster.

An ordinary Wendan Level 2 realm was not enough to last that long, but Fang Yun's Wen Palace had many stars that shone on Wendan, continuously restoring Wendan's power and keeping Fang Yun from being harmed by the poisonous snow blade.

The strange poison on the edge of the poisonous snow blade could originally corrode any power. As it accumulated bit by bit, it was enough to easily destroy a second-level literary talent. However, the power of the Mist Butterfly's divine consciousness combined with the power of the literary talent could easily dispel all the poison.

Wudie has been sleeping.

Along the way, Fang Yun remained as calm as usual.

I don't know how long I ran, but suddenly I heard a slight vibration in the front, followed by a strange dog barking sound.

"Woooooo..."

It was clearly the barking of a dog, but it sounded like the roar of a lion or tiger.

"The Star Throne is ahead! That should be the cry of the frosthounds. I really hope they are all killed by the frosthounds."

"The Frosthounds won't kill them all."

"Why?" Lang Li asked.

"Because someone can command the Frosthounds."

"Ah!" Lang Li screamed.

Then Lang Li hurriedly said: "How do you know? Is there really someone who can command the Frost Dogs? I understand! I understand! It's the Fierce Lord, right? No wonder he is so confident, no wonder he dares to join forces with our demon clan! No wonder he has completely changed since he left the Holy Ruins last time, even I know his cruel reputation! Since he can command the Frost Dogs, it has been settled, the Star King belongs to the Fierce Lord. Fang Yun, let's run away."

"I can understand what the Frosthounds are saying. They just arrived. I have time."

"Ah? Frost dogs are very rare in the demon world, and they are from the ancient demon lineage. How could you understand what Frost Dogs say? No, demon barbarians can't learn that kind of language. Only those who have been passed down from ancient demons can do it. I didn't expect that at this time, you could still surprise me."

"It's better for a dying wolf demon to keep its mouth shut." Fang Yun said.

"Of course I have to say more now, because I won't be able to say it later." Lang Li sighed.

Fang Yun took a big step forward and saw a demonic figure in front of him, as well as a huge monster as tall as two stories standing in front of him.

The monster looked like a dog, with a snow-white body. The dog hair on its body was not ordinary hair, but ice spikes. Each ice spike exuded a chilling coldness, and all the poisonous snow blades that fell on it would be bounced away.

It actually used its body purely to resist the poisonous snow blades.

I saw a very ordinary wolf demon holding a jade token in its mouth, slowly walking towards the frost dog, with tension in its eyes.

The frosthound was startled, took a closer look, then whimpered softly and knelt on one knee.

“Hahahaha…” the wolf demon put down the jade token and laughed out loud.

The arrogant and smug laughter of the evil king spread all around. (To be continued...)
