I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 672. Sumeru - The Red King
hum!
Like a locust swarm passing through, tens of thousands of blood bats darted and moved through the underground rocks, but when they reached within a hundred meters of the safe house, they were as if they had entered a forbidden zone, exploding into blood mist one after another.

"Bang—! Thud—! Thud—."

Blood quickly flowed underground, turning the ground a deep crimson.

Leng Xiu was puzzled. What was going on?

He had just observed the operating mechanism of these spirit particle barriers from above and found their weaknesses.

That's why I stopped wasting time and charged straight down.

As he expected, the nineteen-layer barrier, though seemingly numerous, was not difficult to break through once a solution was found.

But after a short while, he suddenly discovered that the outermost barrier, which he was about to break through, had inexplicably become several times stronger, and the spiritual particle structure within it had also inexplicably changed.

And every few minutes, the already complex spiritual structure would be covered with a dense layer of light spots.

A full hour passed, and the sealed spiritual structures became completely chaotic, like tens of thousands of skeins of yarn haphazardly intertwined, tangled, and knotted together, slapping at his face.

Scalp numbness.

Also because of this,

Under this increasingly bizarre barrier, the blood bats died en masse. Leng Xiu's blood surged, and his already pale face developed eerie red spots, his skin showing signs of decay.

This is the backlash from overusing one's abilities.

Unconvinced, he once again manipulated the Blood Bat Legion to attack the barrier a few more times.

"—" Finally, he let out a muffled groan, and a strand of black blood spilled from the corner of Leng Xiu's pale lips. His eyes, which had been flashing with an eerie red light, were now somewhat numb.

"Damn it! What on earth is this barrier?" Leng Xiu's face turned ugly.

"Blood Demon, what are you doing?"

The Burning City, which had disappeared into the void and closed its eyes to rest, reappeared on the horizon, its majestic eyes indifferent. "There are three hours left until the transaction time. You can decide for yourself."

"."

The vampire man clicked his tongue, licked his fangs against his cheek, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He never expected things to turn out this way. He had found the saintess, but he couldn't have her. It was really frustrating.

"Burning the city is just a favor to Leng Xiu." Just then, a magnificent holy voice descended from the endless sky, ethereal and far-reaching.

Fencheng looked up, seemingly somewhat surprised.

He nodded, and the blizzard and hail within a thousand miles around him instantly turned red and scorching hot, melting into intensely red magma—

Like countless fiery meteors in an apocalyptic scene, they crashed to the earth with a deafening roar.

"Boom!!!"

The earth collapsed, and all matter instantly melted into liquid, forming a bottomless giant volcano, from which boiling magma continuously seeped and devoured deeper and deeper.

The safe house trembled and was quickly enveloped in a crimson sea of ​​lava.

Like a slippery egg, swallowed whole by a terrifying molten lava beast, it is about to rapidly liquefy into water, and all life within it will be annihilated.

But to the surprise of the apostles, the safe house only shook and then remained completely still.

Its outermost nineteen layers of radiant light tightly enveloped the central oval house, leaving it completely undamaged.

On the molten lava-covered face of the burning city, confusion rose in the crimson-gold eyes.

This barrier was clearly set up by someone at the Venerable One Realm, and contained very little spiritual energy, yet it was so powerful? How was that possible? Fen Cheng was astonished. He roughly estimated that even he would need at least half a month to forcefully break through it, even if he used all his strength, and that would be under the condition that he had a sufficient supply of spiritual energy.

Seeing that even Fencheng was helpless, Leng Xiu sighed, but couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that it wasn't that he was too weak, but that this barrier was too strangely strong!

Inside the safe house.

Chana Yuki was also somewhat surprised as she looked at the scene outside.

She had thought it would be a tough battle, but it turned out to be resolved so easily.

It has to be said that Xiao Feng and Mu Qingtong's methods are indeed more bizarre than the other, and every time they meet, they bring her a shock that refreshes her worldview.

Moreover, they were so in sync when constructing the spirit particles.
Could they really be a match made in heaven?
Chana Yuki's gaze was complicated as she silently stared at the tall back of the man in front of her.

In fact, after Xia Feng escaped from Area 51, she had been trying her best to catch up.

But in less than a year, this man's strength had already far surpassed hers, making him someone she could only look up to.

In fact, Chana was quite a genius when it came to spiritual practice, and she was once very confident and proud of it.
But as it turns out, her genius was no different from an ant in front of Xiao Feng!

At that moment, Jiang Qiu'e walked to Cha Naixue's side, gently pressing her delicate hand on her shoulder. Her expression remained unchanged, but she quietly whispered in her heart, "Cha Naixue, don't forget our promise."

Chana Yuki glanced at the stern-faced fox saintess who seemed even more eager than her to become the master and then humiliate Xiao Feng. She smiled faintly, indicating that she was at ease.

"That should solve it, right?" Chana Yuki stepped forward to Xia Feng's side and looked outwards.

Xia Feng's gaze turned serious, and he shook his head: "It seems not yet."

With a wave of his hand, Fencheng caused the oval-shaped safe house to be enveloped in molten lava and float into the air, landing in the giant net woven by blood bats.

The vampire man, hovering beside the giant blood bat net, stood on a large blood banner, his posture arrogant and mocking, "You stupid pigs of Black Moon, just hide in this turtle shell. There will be plenty of time to deal with you after the transaction is over!"

With that, the three apostles carried the oval house, which was covered in lava and blood bats, and sped away into the depths of the storm ahead.

*
Safe house, living room.

Three women and one man sat around a coffee table laden with snacks.

Xia Feng lay down on the soft sofa in the center, closed his eyes to rest, seemingly lost in thought.

"This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause." Jiang Qiu'e sat upright beside Xia Feng's black hair, her legs together, her ethereal eyes lowered as she looked down at Xia Feng's face. "What should we do now?"

The unique scent of honey lingered around Xia Feng's nose. He subconsciously sniffed it, his brows furrowed slightly as he opened his eyes, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the elegant woman in a black dress sitting in the sofa booth opposite him.

He withdrew his gaze and shook his head helplessly: "There's really no good way to deal with being forcibly taken away by these apostles. We can only take it one step at a time."

"By the way, with whom is Leng Xiu making this deal?"

"According to Naraku's calculations, there's a 73% chance it will be a deal with Angie the Holy Priest, and a 21% chance it will be a deal with Moro the Holy Priest."

Cha Nai Xue sat beside the woman in the black dress, frowning as she said, "According to intelligence, Holy Shepherd Anji has defected to the main court with the 'Sumeru King's Decree,' and Burning Heaven has mobilized a large force, sending four apostles here. It's hard not to suspect that Burning Heaven's apostles are actually here to meet him, or perhaps to make a deal with Holy Shepherd Anji."

"The Sumeru King's Token?" Xia Feng secretly sensed the Na Shi space, where the ancient, jet-black token was quietly floating.

Although the specific role of the Sumeru King's Decree in the struggle for the Sumeru Throne is unknown,

However, as far as Xia Feng knew, there were two Sumeru King Tokens in total, representing the identities of the [Black King] and the [Red King], respectively.

What Xia Feng held in his hand was the [Sumeru King's Decree - Black King].

What Angie the Holy Shepherd holds should be the Red King's identity token.
