I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 85: Fighting! Desperate Situation! Overturning the Table!
The sun is setting.

"Taipei, I tried, it doesn't work."

Jiahu said in a low voice:

"In the dungeon, they are not allowed to bring people directly as they did in the past. I asked about it because the Golden Bell of [Bu Zhou] is imprisoned there."

The old man pursed his lips and asked:
"If my disciple has bad luck, how long can he survive in the dungeon?"

Jiahu thought for a moment and said:
"According to custom, after nightfall, the jailer will usually eat a few people, but there are many humans imprisoned in the dungeon, so the probability of choosing your apprentice is very small."

"What if?"

The old man repeated:

"What if?"

Jiahu was silent for a moment:
"Taibai, think it over. If we do this, once our true identity is seen through, you and I may have no choice but to escape early, or even..."

A worried look appeared on his face:

"We may not be able to leave this city."

The old man frowned in thought.

Jiahu took a sip of wine and said:
"I have just escaped from the seal, and my realm has not recovered at all. Now I am only a fake immortal in the second level of the heavenly realm. You are better than me, an earthly immortal, but you are too old."

He sighed repeatedly:
"You have already started to experience the Five Decays, right? How much strength can you exert? And the Lord of the Demon City is in the Heaven Realm just like you and me, but is he an ordinary Heavenly Demon, a fake immortal, or an Earthly Immortal? It's unknown!"

The old man paced back and forth, frowning, knowing that Jia Hu was right, that his life span would be short and his strength would be greatly reduced.
If the Lord of the Demon City is also an Earthly Immortal at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, I am afraid that I may not be his opponent unless I have a "last burst of energy".

What if there are demon fairies in the third level of the fairyland?

After a long while, he stood still and stared at the sunset in the sky:
"It's getting evening."

Jiahu stepped forward:
"Taibai, have you made a decision?"

"Ah."

A long sword appeared in his hand. He flicked the blade and listened to the humming sound:
"I'm going to rob that dungeon."

Jiahu nodded slightly as if he had expected this:

"When?"

"The moon is above the treetops."

The old man said calmly:
"You don't have to help me. Just wait at the edge of the inner city. If anything unexpected happens, take my remaining four disciples away."

"can."

Jiahu handed over a jar of tiger bone wine.

………………

"If we were imprisoned in the dungeon, we would have escaped by now."

Luo Shuangyu finally sent a message to Zhou Mu:
"Now, wait until night falls, wait until the monster that wants to eat us comes, wait for a glimmer of hope."

Zhou Mu frowned, without transmitting any message, but nodded imperceptibly.

To the north, there was smoke rising from the center of the mansion, and a faint smell of meat wafted from the air. Time was passing by little by little.

The sun had completely set, leaving only a trace of dusk, and the moon was already rising.

'Tick, tick'

The dark clouds gradually thickened and it began to rain. Drops of rain hit Zhou Mu's face and the courtyard, but they did not dispel the thick smell of blood.

On the contrary, the rain made the bloody mud even more wetter and stickier, and even squeezed out the blood under the skin, flesh and felt, making the fishy smell even stronger.

'Squeak~'

The courtyard door was pushed open, and the four real monsters bowed. More than a dozen blood-eating creatures in the courtyard, including Zhou Mu and Luo Shuangyu, also looked sideways in horror.

I heard the voice of the person before I saw him.

"Looking for friends"

Accompanied by a rattle, a tender child's voice sang a nursery rhyme from ancient times. The sound of the rattle and the nursery rhyme gradually approached.

The four true demons punched the armor on their chests and made muffled sounds:

"Owner!"

Zhou Mu looked and saw a child who looked about two or three years old, with a light red mole between his eyebrows, two pigtails, and he was shaking a rattle and jumping around.

"ah!"

The child stood in the rain, his two little feet sinking into the bloody mud. He counted:
"One, two, three."

"Fourteen!"

“So many friends!”

The child laughed happily and walked into the yard with one step deep and one step shallow. With every step, he kicked up rain water, skin, hair and flesh paste.

Luo Shuangyu was tense and seemed to have become a chatterbox. She couldn't help but send a message:
"Fortunately, it is also a real monster, but I am not sure whether it is the first or second level of the Qi Road. Hold on, don't show any abnormality, and wait for the opportunity."

Zhou Mu did not answer, but just stared at everything silently.

Sunset, moon rise, dark clouds, light rain.

Rattles, nursery rhymes, felt made of skin, flesh and hair, mud made of blood and bones.

His heart began to beat wildly unconsciously, and his pores dilated. This strange and terrifying feeling made his hair stand on end.

"Spare your life!"

There was a boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. The four true demons did not care about it.
And the child just started shaking the rattle again.

"Find a good friend"

The sound of the rattle was so rapid and sudden that it seemed to seduce the souls of more than ten people present, turning their hands and feet cold. The young man who had been running away in fear also froze.
When his feet stopped, he fell face down in the blood, mud and hair. His mouth and nose were blocked, and blood and fishy smell rushed into his nasal cavity.

The boy wanted to struggle, but his body was frozen like ice and he couldn't move at all, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

'Dong-dong-dong! Boom, boom, boom! '

The child walked to the center of the courtyard, shaking the rattle loudly. Even Zhou Mu felt his blood flow slow down. The others were even worse. Most of them were completely frozen and couldn't even move their eyeballs!
"Shake the soul into the meat and mix it well, it will taste better."

The young child talked happily to himself, sitting down in the bloody mud, with the splashing blood splashing all over his body.

'Dong-dong-dong! Boom, boom, boom! '

The rattle continued to shake and the rain gradually got heavier.

There were about ten people present. Luo Shuangyu was struggling to hold on, her soul swaying. The rest of the people's three souls and seven spirits had been shaken away by the rattle, leaving them with only two souls and five spirits, stupid and dazed.

As for Zhou Mu.

He just felt that his blood flow slowed down a bit.

That's it.

"I'm hungry."

The child yawned, put the rattle in his arms, stood up innocently, with an innocent smile on his face:
"I'm going to start!"

The words fell.

'Tear! '

Under Zhou Mu's horrified gaze, the child's skin was torn apart, and branches emerged from it.
His feet turned into tree roots, digging deep into the mud, his body turned into a tree trunk, his hair turned into a tree crown, and his hands turned into dozens of snow-white branches, dancing and swaying wildly! !
Luo Shuangyu bit her lips tightly, her heart was dead, and she said without any hope:
"Zhou Mu, are you still conscious?"

"Zhou Mu? Zhou Mu?"

half an hour.

Zhou Mu listened to the voice transmission in his ear, his eyes fixed on the more than ten-meter-tall demon tree transformed by the child, his nose trembling slightly, and he transmitted the voice:
"I'm very good."

Luo Shuangyu was obviously stunned, then he took a deep breath and nervously transmitted his voice:

"Don't act rashly. Wait, wait."

Zhou Mu pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

"So hungry."

The demon tree made a childish voice, and on the trunk under the crown, it opened its eyes and tore open its mouth. Two branches shot out, picked up the two soul-deprived teenagers, slowly stuffed them into its mouth, and chewed them gently.

The demon tree chewed very slowly, as if absorbing the essence of the blood food and trying to learn their "roots bones".
As it ate, it would spit out hair and broken bones, and some blood mud would flow down the trunk. When it encountered a hard-to-chew tendon, it would spit it out with a "pooh" sound, and it would fly and hang on the treetop. Zhou Mu understood how the horrible scene in this yard came about.

How many people did this young tree demon swallow? ?
He couldn't imagine it.

"delicious!"

The tree demon swallowed the two blood foods, and the texture on the trunk rippled slightly, and two textures that looked like human faces appeared.

The texture of that person's face was still distorted, as if a damaged soul was wailing.

Zhou Mu's heart sank. He counted carefully, but there were so many human facial patterns on the tree trunk that he couldn't even count them all.

"Wait for the right time, wait for the right time!"

"You and I only have one chance!"

Luo Shuangyu was still transmitting messages to him, her voice trembling slightly. Rather than comforting Zhou Mu, it was more like she was comforting herself and hinting to herself to hold on, hold on, and wait!

Zhou Mu nodded silently, tensed his body, and stared at the tree demon.

'puff! '

Two more lost souls were rolled up and chewed to pieces.

Then the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth.
Twelve more human face textures appeared on the tree trunk, and only Zhou Mu and Luo Shuangyu were left in the yard.

"There are two left."

The tree demon smiled innocently and said to himself:

"These two good friends have the most resilient souls. Even a rattle can't shake them apart. You need to savor them carefully."

Branches crawled out from the bloody mud, climbed up Zhou Mu's ankles, and stretched upwards.

He felt the coldness of the branches and the slippery feeling of the remaining flesh and blood on them. He suppressed the roaring blood essence in his body and allowed the branches to entangle and lift him up.

"hold on."

Luo Shuangyu transmitted the message:

"The moment it swallows you and me."

"That was when it and the four real monsters were at their most relaxed."

"We only have one chance!"

The slippery branches wrapped around the two men, lifting them high up. Zhou Mu gathered all his strength, and they were like rag dolls, unable to resist.

Just let the branch drag him closer and closer to the bloody mouth.
The rain was getting heavier.
The raindrops hit his face, and the huge mouth of the tree demon was clearly visible. He could even see the blood on the wooden teeth.
The fishy smell rushed into my nose and made me dizzy.

"The last bite of midnight snack," the tree demon said in a childish voice, tilted its trunk back, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a long "ah" sound.

‘Boom! ’

Suddenly, the sound of swords could be heard in the distance.

Then there is light.

It is dazzling and piercing, it is the light that illuminates the entire dark rainy night sky and pierces the thick dark clouds.

The tree demon suddenly stopped moving, and its branches curled up slightly as if in fear.

In a trance, Zhou Mu subconsciously looked up and saw the thick dark clouds rolling away to both sides. When the cloud layer split in two, the bright full moon was already above the treetops.

"Who are you?"

There was a loud roar from the palace, rolling like thunder, and then a "sun" rose from the palace, swinging to the center of the sky, emitting bright light!

Look carefully,

It was an old man wearing a three-pearl crown and a majestic black robe. Brilliant light was gushing out of his pores, making him look like a glorious sun.

"grandfather!"

The tree demon laughed, and the sharp childish voice rose loudly. The city lord who was as big as the sun in the sky walked towards the distance and collided with the vast sword light. The clanging sound shook the whole city!
In the city, demons and humans alike were all gazing at the sword lights and brilliant rays in the sky, listening to the loud and clanging noises, and were all dazed.

"Chance!"

Luo Shuangyu screamed and took out a long sword from somewhere. His aura was surging and the silver bottle broke suddenly. In an instant he entered the Qi realm!

The long sword cut off the branches that bound her, and the tree demon cried out in pain. The four real demons suddenly came to their senses, their eyes bloodshot, and flew up in anger!

"Zhou Mu!" Luo Shuangyu roared: "Take the sword and stab its eyes!"

A second sword appeared in her hand and she threw it towards Zhou Mu, and she slashed with her sword horizontally, forcing the four real monsters to retreat.

But the tree demon had never fought, but now it was still screaming, its branches dancing wildly, breaking the ground and tearing the roof tiles!

"This is the best chance!" Hope shone in Luo Shuangyu's eyes. The sword was tempered with a deadly poison that could kill monsters!

It may not be able to kill the tree demon, but it will be enough to delay it for a moment!
however.

'Bang! '

The sword fell to the ground.

Zhou Mu, who was entangled by the branches, was tossed up and down by the tree demon's swinging sword and couldn't catch it at all.

The light in Luo Shuangyu's eyes went out.

The next moment.

'Long! '

With a loud roar, the tree demon tightly entangled Zhou Mu's branches and was blown up!
'Roar! ! ’

An eighteen-meter-tall giant appeared in the courtyard, roaring wildly, and stomped hard, tearing the ground apart and shattering the entire South Courtyard!
"Zhou Mu?"

Luo Shuangyu and the four real demons were all stunned, and the killing intent they were about to strike stopped at the same time.

Zhou Mu, now completely liberated, felt the surging and roaring power in his body. He stared at the tree demon that was as tall as himself with his eyes as big as copper bells.

He opened his arms, hugged the tree demon, pulled it up suddenly, and clamped it with both hands!
Twenty-four million pounds of force exploded, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and the blood and mud flew everywhere in the strong wind. Under the terrifying force, the thin film of vitality on the tree monster's body was torn apart like a thin gauze.

'Crack! ! '

The tree demon wailed, cracks exploded on its trunk, it screamed, and its branches danced. One by one, they drove into Zhou Mu's body, took root in him, and grew wildly!
"retreat!!"

Luo Shuangyu came to his senses, swung his sword vigorously, and pinned back a real demon that was caught off guard, and waved at Zhou Mu:

"Let go of it and jump into the well! Quick!"

As she spoke, she leaped up and flew towards the dry well like a female eagle cutting through the sky!
Zhou Mu's body was filled with branches, and the branches that had penetrated him grew wildly, with young buds piercing out of his skin.

Enduring the severe pain,
He became ruthless and no longer held back, nor did he consider the loss. The solar energy in his body flowed around and touched the branches that covered his body. A blazing true fire rose up and rushed along the branches, setting the entire tree monster on fire!

“It hurts! It hurts!!”

The tree demon let out an unprecedentedly tragic cry, and every branch that pierced Zhou Mu's body was burned.
The latter landed on the ground, turned into normal size, and leaped towards the wellhead. The next moment, he was about to jump into it together with Luo Shuangyu!
"My son!"

Angry shouts were heard in the mansion.

A huge amount of energy suddenly pressed down.

'Pah! '

Zhou Mu and Luo Shuangyu jumped into the air and threw themselves into the dry well, but were slammed to the ground by the powerful energy like two mosquitoes and flies.

A middle-aged man walked over, and the vitality of heaven and earth within a thousand meters was violently surging, tearing everything apart. Broken bricks, jade tiles, torn red pillars and high walls, etc., all surrounded him.

This made him look like a god or devil.

"Still... a step too slow." Luo Shuangyu coughed up blood and sighed, his face ashen.

"not necessarily."

Zhou Mu whispered, and a scroll of paper appeared in his hand. The blood essence in his body burned and he burst out with unprecedented strength. He resisted the aura of the big demon and forcibly spread out the scroll!
It is a golden edict.

A decree worth one thousand small merits.

Luo Shuangyu was unable to move and could only glance at it from the corner of her eyes.

With great difficulty, she saw the mere six words written on the golden paper.

"The Emperor's command."

"Thunder."
