The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 783 Insufficient to contend with the Demon God
The entrance to the cave was blocked by a huge rock.

"Open it," Zhu Xiong Ying commanded.

Black Wind Monster quickly channeled his energy to push the rock aside.

Inside the cave, it was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Zhu Xiong Ying took out a luminous pearl from his bosom and illuminated the cave.

The cave was filled with gold and silver jewelry, a dazzling array that was hard to look away from.

Looking at the sea of ​​gold and silver before him, Zhu Xiong Ying couldn't help but feel excited.

"Hahaha..." Zhu Xiong Ying laughed loudly, "I am indeed the chosen one of Heaven, destined to rule the world!"

Looking at Zhu Xiong Ying's excited expression, Liu Ru Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried. She had a feeling that things weren't so simple.

"Your Majesty, let's leave here immediately," Liu Ruyan said. "It's too dangerous here."

Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Just then, a strange noise came from deep within the cave.

"What's that sound?" Liu Ruyan asked vigilantly.

Zhu Xiong Ying frowned slightly; he sensed a dangerous aura.

"Watch out!" Zhu Xiong Ying pulled Liu Ru Yan behind him and drew his sword at the same time.

A huge figure emerged from the depths of the cave.

It was a monster three zhang tall, covered in black hair.

The monster's eyes gleamed red, making it look extremely ferocious.

"What is this thing?" Liu Ruyan asked in horror.

"I don't know either," Zhu Xiong Ying said gravely, "but I'm certain it's dangerous."

The monster let out a deafening roar and pounced on Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying dared not be careless and quickly drew his sword to meet the attack.

A fierce battle unfolded between the human and the monster inside the cave.

Although Zhu Xiong Ying was highly skilled in martial arts, the monster's strength and speed far exceeded those of ordinary people, and he was unable to defeat it for a time.

Liu Ruyan watched in horror, unsure of what to do.

Just then, the monster suddenly opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying was unable to dodge in time and was bitten on the arm by the monster.

"Ah!" Zhu Xiong Ying let out a scream.

Fresh blood flowed down the monster's fangs.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan became extremely anxious.

She rushed forward immediately, trying to save Zhu Xiong Ying.

"Don't come any closer!" Zhu Xiong Ying shouted.

But it is already late.

The monster grabbed Liu Ruyan and threw her into the depths of the cave.

"Ruyan!" Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes were bloodshot.

He never expected that he would implicate Liu Ruyan.

He was filled with regret and self-blame.

He vowed to kill this monster and avenge Liu Ruyan!
Zhu Xiong Ying roared, and his aura suddenly surged. The sword in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light, as if it had transformed into a golden dragon.

"Beast! Die!"

Golden light, like a raging dragon, roared and devoured the darkness of the cave. Zhu Xiong Ying's sword, at this moment, seemed to possess a life of its own, humming and trembling, radiating a chilling pressure. His eyes were bloodshot, he looked like a madman, and a raging fire burned fiercely in his chest, incinerating all fear and pain.

"I want you dead!"

Zhu Xiong Ying roared, his figure flashing like lightning, transforming into a golden bolt of lightning as he charged straight at the black behemoth. His sword flashed, swift as a storm, each strike containing earth-shattering power, slashing fiercely at the monster's body.

The monster, with its thick hide and tough flesh, had previously managed to hold its own against Zhu Xiong Ying, but now, facing the enraged emperor, it seemed somewhat powerless. Golden sword light pierced its fur, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds, and black blood gushed out, staining the cave floor red.

The monster roared in agony, yet its ferocity remained undiminished, wielding its enormous claws in an attempt to tear Zhu Xiong Ying to shreds. However, Zhu Xiong Ying at this moment was like a god descended to earth, his swordsmanship sharp and his movements graceful, completely suppressing the monster.

"Roar!" The monster roared again, spewing out a foul-smelling black poisonous mist in an attempt to block Zhu Xiong Ying's attack.

Zhu Xiong Ying sneered, showing no fear whatsoever. Holding his breath, he dodged the poisonous fog and continued his fierce attack.

The two, one human and one strange creature, fought back and forth in the narrow cave, their battle so fierce that the sky darkened and sand and stones flew everywhere.

Just as Zhu Xiong Ying was gaining the upper hand and was about to kill the monster, a sudden change occurred!
From deep within the cave, a strange flute melody suddenly drifted out. The melody was melodious, yet it carried a chilling and sinister atmosphere.

Upon hearing the flute, the monster seemed to receive some kind of command, stopped its attack, and turned to run deeper into the cave.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Xiong Ying was startled and realized that things were probably not so simple. He quickly gave chase.

The cave was winding and twisting. Zhu Xiong Ying chased after it for a long time and finally arrived at a spacious underground cave.

In the center of the cave, there is an altar, on which sits a huge coffin.

A mysterious figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a black conical hat is standing in front of the altar, playing a bone flute.

"Who are you?" Zhu Xiong Ying shouted sternly.

The man in black did not answer, but continued playing the bone flute.

The flute music grew more urgent and shrill, as if it were trying to suck in one's soul.

Zhu Xiong Ying felt a splitting headache, and everything in front of her became blurry.

He forced himself to endure the discomfort and asked again, "Who exactly are you?"

The man in black finally stopped playing and slowly turned around.

Beneath the straw hat, a pale and sinister face was revealed.

"You...you are..." Zhu Xiong Ying exclaimed in surprise. He recognized the man in black as the enemy he had been searching for all along—the leader of the White Lotus Sect!

"Hahaha..." The leader of the White Lotus Sect laughed loudly, "Didn't expect that, did you? We meet again!"

"Why did you kidnap Ruyan?" Zhu Xiong Ying roared.

"Liu Ruyan? She's nothing more than a pawn in my plan," the White Lotus Sect leader sneered. "I will use her blood to awaken the sleeping demon god!"

"Don't even think about it!" Zhu Xiong Ying roared and charged at the White Lotus Sect leader again.

The leader of the White Lotus Sect remained calm and composed, and blew the bone flute again.

The black behemoth that had previously escaped rushed out from the depths of the cave again and stood in front of the White Lotus Sect leader.

"It seems you still don't understand your situation," the White Lotus Sect leader sneered. "Do you think you alone can stop me?"

"I am the Son of Heaven, how could I be afraid of you!" Zhu Xiong Ying was not afraid at all and swung his sword at the black giant.

However, this time, the black giant was several times stronger and faster than before, and Zhu Xiong Ying was unable to defeat it.

"It's useless. Your power is simply insufficient to contend with a demon god," the White Lotus Sect leader sneered. "Just obediently accept your death!"

Just then, a delicate shout suddenly came from deep within the cave: "Stop!"
