Chapter 1126 – Demons

　　They had the appearance of the legendary demons.

　　However, the weird thing was that all of these rapidly speeding demons had more or less wounds or gaps on their bodies, some had their necks chopped in half, some only had a hollow hole left at their hearts, and some had most of their bodies charred as if they had been scorched by holy light.

　　Their eyes were tightly closed, and countless red worms wriggled in the sarcoma at the center of their brows, like a bizarre eye that was staring straight at Lin Qiye’s trio.

　　”It’s a demon?” Jiang Er’s face was unsightly.

　　An Qingyu’s eyes flickered with a gray aura and his brows were furrowed as if he was pondering something.

　　He was about to open his mouth to say something when several huge black shadows were outlined one after another in the surrounding clouds, the sound of meaty wings vibrating in the air buzzed, and one of the thick crimson tails broke through the air, whistling as it crashed onto the somersault clouds, shattering them hard.

　　Losing the support under their feet, the three of them immediately plummeted towards the hell below.

　　The demons flapping their fleshy wings in the sky did not have the slightest intention of letting them go in this way, and swooped down at them one after another at an astonishing speed.

　　”Qingyu!” Lin Qiye in midair shouted.

　　An Qingyu’s eyes stared, his hands clapped hard in front of his chest, and a large amount of purple mist surged out wildly from between his sleeves, instantly covering the three of them, and involving the many demons swooping down from the sky along with them.

　　Crashing headlong into the purple mist, the demons lost the trio’s target within their field of vision, and the red insect eye at the center of their brow rotated frantically, trying to find Lin Qiye and the others’ figures within the endless purple intent.

　　Within the high-purity spiritual pollution, the trio held their breath as they free-fell, and Lin Qiye lifted his fingertips as a brilliant magical radiance bloomed in the fog.

　　A massive Inferno Vein Earth Dragon flapped its wings and swept out from the magic formation, crimson flames flowing across the surface of its body, conspicuous to the extreme under the dim sky.

　　Roar-!

　　The Inferno Vein Earth Dragon that flew out from the purple mist roared, instantly attracting the attention of all the demons, and a streak of black lightning sped out, chasing the Inferno Vein Earth Dragon into the distance.

　　At the same time, above the barren earth directly below the sky melee, a void crack opened up.

　　Lin Qiye held the [Zhenbai] in his hand and quickly walked out of it with An Qingyu, and Jiang’er, who was attached to An Qingyu, also floated in mid-air, looking up at the black pressurized demons that were chasing into the distance, and a sense of gratitude for the aftermath of the robbery rose in his heart.

　　Everything that had just happened was too fast, from the first demon striking out to wipe them out to the dozens of demons joining hands to chase them down, only six or seven seconds had passed.

　　If it wasn’t for An Qingyu releasing the purple mist to confuse them when they were falling, and Lin Qiye summoning Rouyan to lure the demons away, then secretly taking them into the void to leave, even if they managed to fall back to the ground, those demons would still be right behind them to kill them?In this barren land with no cover, they could only become the living targets of many demons, and would be rounded up and exterminated to death.

　　Jiang Er carefully recalled the scene just now and looked at Lin Qiye and An Qingyu with an odd expression.

　　”What’s wrong?” An Qingyu couldn’t help but ask when she saw her strange expression.

　　”How did you two do it?” Jiang Er couldn’t help but speak, “You obviously didn’t have any communication, so in such a short period of time, how were you able to know what the other was thinking, and still cooperate so perfectly?”

　　Hearing Jiang Er’s question, Lin Qiye and An Qingyu glanced at each other and laughed helplessly at the same time.

　　”It’s just tacit understanding, and it’s the only way to escape if you want to in that situation.” Lin Qiye gave a simple explanation before quickly speaking, “That group of demons is too strong, Rouyan won’t be able to drag it out for long, they’ll soon find their way back, let’s hurry and get out of here.”

　　According to the current form, flying was definitely not an option, there were so many demons hidden in such a small area of the Cloud of Ashes, who knew how many more the trio would run into if they flew further?

　　The trio swiftly crossed this barren area and sped along the direction Lin Qiye had initially pointed, relying on their own speed.

　　”Didn’t they say that almost all of the demons in hell have been killed off? How come there are still so many?”

　　Jiang’er asked in disbelief as she stretched her hands and wore a white dress, floating like a ghost above Lin Qiye and An Qingyu.

　　”It’s indeed a bit strange.” Lin Qiye flew while pondering, “According to what Elder Blazing Angel said, demons above the God realm have been almost completely killed off, but there are still some weak demons that survived …… But judging from what happened just now, it’s no longer as simple as surviving, so many demons are hiding in the cumulus clouds, how did they How did they survive back then?”

　　An Qingyu was silent for a moment, “Perhaps, they didn’t survive.”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s eyebrows rose slightly.

　　”What do you mean?”

　　”I just tried to parse through their bodies and didn’t find any life fluctuations in their bodies.” An Qingyu slowly spoke, “Their hearts aren’t beating, their blood isn’t flowing, and from all vital signs, they don’t look like they’re alive.”

　　”Are you saying that they are corpses?”

　　”That should be the case.”

　　”Then how did they attack us?” Jiang Er’s eyes were filled with doubt, “The way they attacked frantically just now, they didn’t look like corpses at all.”

　　As the words fell, without waiting for Lin Qiye and the two to answer, Jiang Er looked like she thought of something, looked down at her own body floating in the air, and smiled helplessly, “It seems like I’m not qualified to talk about them …… Almost forgot that I’m also a corpse.”

　　”You are different from them.” An Qingyu shook her head and laughed.

　　”Maybe it has something to do with that eye on their brow.” Lin Qiye recalled for a moment, “Do you guys remember that the eyes of those demons were closed, but the eye made up of worms in the center of their brows was open.”

　　”Those eyes control their corpses …… There is this possibility.”

　　An Qingyu nodded in agreement.

　　As they spoke, the three of them had already completely moved away from that barren land and arrived at the foot of several towering peaks, and several promising mountain gaps that only allowed one or two people to walk side by side appeared in front of their eyes.

　　Lin Qiye glanced back, only to see countless black shadows flapping their fleshy wings, circling under the clouds in the distance as if they were searching for a few of them.

　　”Is it this direction?” Anqing Yu asked as she stood in front of the gap.

　　”Uh-huh.” Lin Qiye turned his head, “Every road here extends in the same direction, so it should be whichever way you go.”

　　”There aren’t any of those demons in there, right?”

　　”Not within the range of my senses.” Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and added, “However, there seem to be quite a few grievous souls that have fallen into hell wandering around in the valley.”
