The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Xiao Zhu put Ruqing, who had already woken up, down from his back. Ruqing looked around with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Child, child, my baby..." She repeated crazy words.

Hearing this, Xia Shi hurriedly took out the doll she always held in her arms from her storage bracelet and handed it to Ruqing. Ruqing hesitated for a moment, but she did not reach out to take it. Instead, she roughly pushed the doll away, her expression full of anger: "No, this is not my child!"

Xia Shi was stunned. This puppet that had accompanied Ruqing for more than ten years had always been regarded as a child by her, but today she did not recognize it. But before Xia Shi could figure it out, Ruqing suddenly flew into the air. She flew out from the gap between Teng Snake's bodies, and then flew towards the shore of Swan Lake without stopping. She seemed to have a strong purpose!

The direction that Ruqing was flying was exactly the gap between the Sky-Splitting Beast and the Golden-Winged Eagle King. Seeing Ruqing flying over, the two beast kings immediately launched an attack. The Golden-Winged Eagle King spread its wings and stretched out its huge claws to grab Ruqing, while the Sky-Splitting Beast also waved its strong arms and pounced over.

"Boom!" The attacks of the two beast kings collided with each other, and the powerful force shook the lake water and caused huge waves to roll around. However, this attack did not hit Ruqing. Ruqing burst out at an extremely fast speed at this moment and passed through before their attacks arrived.

Ruqing ignored their attacks and kept repeating the words: "Child, my child..."

Xiao Zhu held Xia Shi and flew up. He wanted to chase Ruqing, but Ruqing was too fast and left him far behind in a split second. But Xiao Zhu noticed that as she quickly approached the shore, her target gradually became clearer, and Xiao Zhu showed an expression of disbelief.

Her target is Furukawa!

Since the battle broke out, Guchuan took Lin Xuemiao and quietly retreated to the back end of the front line. Given Guchuan's character, he had no intention of participating in the battle. Besides, even if he participated in the battle, it would not be of any help at this level.

But who would have thought that Ruqing would suddenly make him the focus of the whole audience!

The words that Ruqing kept repeating changed. She said, "Chuan'er, Chuan'er, my child, you are finally back..."

Xiao Zhu suddenly realized that Guchuan and Ruqing had many similarities, the most recognizable of which was their golden hair. Although Guchuan had dark skin, which was a huge contrast to Ruqing, it was because he had been exposed to the wind and sun during his long wandering. There was also a very coincidental point that Guchuan should be around 18 years old, and Ruqing's child was lost 17 years ago. A mother would never mistake her own children, even if more than ten years had passed.

So, Furukawa is really Ruqing's child?

But in this case, the mystery becomes even more difficult to solve. What did Ruqing go through that caused her to lose even her own child? And what did Guchuan go through in the past ten years that gave him such broad knowledge and such a cold heart?

Also, what about Furukawa's father?

But no one was willing to explain these mysteries. The next moment, Ruqing arrived beside Guchuan. She took Guchuan and instantly fled towards the distant demon-slaying formation. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The only person left there was Lin Xuemiao, who looked surprised and stood there in confusion.

"Splash!" A loud sound of water was heard, and it was the Teng Snake rising into the sky. Everyone then realized that it had a pair of wings on its long body. It flapped its wings and chased in the direction where Ruqing disappeared.

The change in this instant was so sudden that the three beast kings were stunned, but the Butterfly Fairy was the first to react. She said one word coldly: "Chase!" Then she flapped her wings and flew out.

The Sky-Splitting Beast and the Golden-Winged Eagle King each displayed their magical powers, and they all drilled out from the cracks in the Demon-Slaying Formation and chased in the direction of Ruqing.

With the departure of the three beast kings, the tens of thousands of monsters that had gathered were leaderless. They began to become chaotic and frantically killed the humans around them, causing huge casualties to Novan College in a short period of time.

Bai Ruchen, the great elder, immediately stepped forward and made arrangements in an orderly manner: "Liu Bingsheng, Yu Han, you lead all the teachers in the academy and do your best to drive back the monsters that have entered the Demon Slaying Formation. Xin Jiunian, Elder Wu, please lead the demon hunters from the auxiliary department to rescue the injured teachers and students, and organize the students to retreat as soon as possible. President Wan, I'll have to trouble you to cooperate with me to repair the Demon Slaying Formation."

"It's all up to the elders' orders!" Wan Yixing answered affirmatively, and everyone agreed one by one.

However, the teachers and students of Novan College only add up to a few hundred people. Excluding the previous casualties, there are only dozens of people who are capable of fighting at this moment. Faced with the thousands of monsters that have invaded the Demon-Slaying Formation, they are willing but unable to do anything.

At this moment, the sound of drums suddenly came from afar, and someone shouted loudly: "The heroic spirit of the demon hunter will never die!"

This shout was like a stone that caused a thousand waves. Countless people in the distance responded to the shout in unison, like a tsunami.

"The demon hunter's heroic spirit is immortal!"

"The demon hunter's heroic spirit is immortal—"

Hearing this, Wan Yixing smiled. He knew that Situ Hongyi must have obtained the support of her father, the previous president Situ Xin, and the Demon Hunter Association finally went all out!

His eyes were a little moist, and he silently said in his heart: "It turns out that we have always been on the same front!"

"Under the orders of the Demon Hunter Association's president Wan Yixing, the Demon Hunter Association will fully assist the Novan Academy to kill the monsters and eradicate all evil!" Hong Yi issued a loud battle order.

With the support of the Demon Hunter Association, humans finally began to gain the upper hand, step by step forcing the monsters that had broken into the Demon-Slaying Formation back outside the formation, leaving corpses all over the ground.

The witch also showed her strength. It turned out that she was an auxiliary demon hunter who was good at both poison and medicine. She rescued the injured demon hunters while poisoning the monsters that rushed to her side. She performed with ease.

But not everyone is so lucky.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi arrived at the island in the middle of the lake before the melee broke out. As the melee broke out, the two were immediately in the center of the battlefield. The number of monsters here was far greater than that of humans, and there were many high-level monsters. Humans were almost being slaughtered unilaterally.

Xiao Zhu knew clearly that they could not stay here for long, so he immediately carried Xia Shi and rushed to the outskirts of the battlefield.

Contrary to expectations, Xiao Zhu had just flown a few dozen meters away when he felt a burning breath coming towards him. Xiao Zhu looked up and saw a big red firebird in the sky swooping down towards them.

"Flamingo!" Xiao Zhu uttered a few words through his teeth, his expression becoming tense. Flamingo is a fourth-level monster. Although it is not comparable to the previous beast king, it is also extremely difficult for monster hunters below the level of soul hunters because of its flying ability and its natural fire spells.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Zhu could still fight with his strength and the magic weapons on him, but in the current situation, once he was dragged down by the flamingo, he would probably be besieged by countless monsters immediately. Once trapped in such a situation, Xiao Zhu would not be able to escape even if he had a hundred magical powers.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhu immediately attacked with all his strength. He held the ice and fire polar balls in his left hand and the Greedy Wolf Sword in his right hand, and attacked the flamingo from the left and right.

But who knew that the flamingo was not afraid of Xiao Zhu's ice and fire, and actually rushed into the white ice and fire. When it flew out, it was unharmed. At this time, the flamingo sprayed a huge fireball towards Xiao Zhu.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhu was shocked and his face changed suddenly! This was the first time that the Ice and Fire Polar Ball had no effect. This was completely beyond Xiao Zhu's expectations and put him in fatal danger.

In a panic, Xiao Zhu was forced to set up an ice wall in front of him, but the temperature of the fireball was much hotter than ordinary flames. A huge hole was instantly melted in Xiao Zhu's ice wall, and the fireball broke through the ice wall and flew towards Xiao Zhu.

Seeing that the fireball was approaching, Xiao Zhu raised the Basalt Shield without hesitation. Fortunately, the Basalt Shield did not let him down and took the attack. However, Xiao Zhu could also feel that the surface of the Basalt Shield was hot from the fireball.

Something worse happened. The moment Xiao Zhu was entangled by the flamingo, the surrounding monsters gathered around. Xiao Zhu was surrounded by seven or eight monsters, and among them, there were three level four monsters!

At this time, Bai Ruchen and Wan Yixing were busy repairing the formation, while Yu Han, Liu Bingsheng and other powerful teachers were busy working together with the masters of the Demon Hunter Association to force back the Warcraft army, and had no time to pay attention to Xiao Zhu.

What should I do? Xiao Zhu looked at Xia Shi in his arms, his mind racing with thoughts of how to survive.

The monsters surrounding Xiao Zhu did not give Xiao Zhu time to think. They launched the attack at the same time. Xiao Zhu saw a flash of lightning on the left, a beam of fire on the right, and several huge minions from top to bottom.

Is this the end of our lives?

A trace of despair flashed through Xiao Zhu's mind, and he hugged Xia Shi tightly.

But the next moment the attack did not fall on Xiao Zhu. A bunch of vines flew up from the ground, entangled Xiao Zhu's body, and pulled him and Xia Shi towards the ground, avoiding the attack of the group of monsters.

Standing below Xiao Zhu was an old man in tattered clothes. He grabbed the vines wrapped around Xiao Zhu's waist with one hand and dragged Xiao Zhu to his side. The monsters surrounding Xiao Zhu saw Xiao Zhu running away and immediately started to chase him. However, the vines in the old man's hands suddenly grew dozens of branches, which grew wildly. The next moment, the branches and leaves turned into sharp metal swords, which stabbed at the pursuing monsters. The pursuing monsters had no resistance under these metal swords and were pierced through the body in an instant, including the three level four monsters.

The old man laughed, and seemed very satisfied with the effect of the other party's attack. He dragged Xiao Zhu and the other man and flew towards the shore of Swan Lake.

The three of them flew out for only a moment before another group of monsters rushed up, but the old man's speed increased instead of decreasing. When he was about to rush into the group of monsters, he suddenly opened his mouth and a white flame spurted out of his mouth. Xiao Zhu was very familiar with this flame. It was the ice flame released by the ice and fire bipolar ball, but the old man did not rely on any magic weapon, but spurted it directly from his mouth. Xiao Zhu could even clearly feel that this ice flame was several times stronger than the one released by Xiao Zhu's ice and fire bipolar ball. The group of monsters in front of him were all frozen into ice sculptures after only slightly touching the ice flame.

The old man stepped on an ice sculpture in the air, and his body accelerated again. The next moment, the three of them had broken through the encirclement and reached the shore of Swan Lake.

"Kid, it's really embarrassing that you use your spiritual bloodline like this!" The old man untied the vines and put Xiao Zhu down, laughing teasingly.

Xiao Zhu looked at the slovenly old man and felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Xiao Zhu thought about it and said in surprise, "Ah! It's you!"
