228: Chapter 228 One against four? Two against three!

When Chu Sheng stepped onto the sixth floor, his first reaction was that Greed was truly wealthy.

This floor was larger than all the levels below combined, and the dome was so high that its ceiling could not be seen.

The floor, walls, and pillars were densely packed with treasures.

Heaven Rank Materials were piled in the corners like cabbages.

Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques were embedded in the walls like bricks.

Seventh-tier Medicinal Pills were scattered on the ground like candy beans.

However, the Restriction on this floor was no longer complete.

Many treasures had lost their spirituality, their surfaces covered in a dusty layer, resembling decaying bones.

An invisible, uncomfortable aura permeated the air.

It was not Devilish Qi, but something more primitive and violent.

The devouring power left behind by Gluttony was eroding the Restriction of this floor, and it was also eroding the treasures.

When Greed forged the tower, he certainly hadn't expected that after his death, Gluttony would gnaw through the top three floors.

Even the Restriction of the middle three floors had been affected.

Chu Sheng did not pay much attention to these treasures; his gaze fell into the distance.

There, Devilish Qi was colliding, multicolored, exploding in the darkness like fireworks.

He restrained his aura and crept along the wall.

Yu Rumeng was locked in a fierce battle.

Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, her face cold and beautiful, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Her body was surrounded by Blue Flames; that was the Blue Flame of the Blue Flame Demon King, its temperature so high that even the air was scorched and distorted.

Floating in front of her were the hundred-eye lasers of the Hundred Eyes Demon King, each laser beam carrying penetrating lethality.

The ground had been shot through with countless charred holes by the lasers.

Under her feet, she stepped on the Evil Qi of the Earth Fiend Demon King, the black mist like a swamp, trying to drag her down.

Three against one.

Yu Rumeng was at a disadvantage.

Her rumeng token had not yet been refined, and the Magic Treasure in her hand was merely a Low Grade Heaven Rank longsword.

She was barely holding on against the Evil Qi of the Earth Fiend Demon King.

Her cultivation was at the Mid-stage Palace Building, significantly lower than the Earth Fiend Demon King's cultivation.

The Earth Fiend Demon King was at the Peak Palace Building, and it was said he was the most likely Devil King to next achieve a Breakthrough to the Spirit Nurturing Realm.

But the Hundred Eyes Demon King and the Blue Flame Demon King were not weak either, one at the Late Stage Palace Building and the other at the Mid-stage Palace Building.

Three against one, she had reached her limit by holding on until now.

Yet she did not beg for mercy, did not break down, and was even smiling.

That smile was cold, like the winter wind.

"A single Legacy, the three of you, how will you split it?"

Yu Rumeng's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the vast sixth floor, carrying a trace of mockery.

"Earth Fiend, if you take the Legacy, will the two of them be willing?"

"Hundred Eyes, if you take the Legacy, can Earth Fiend let you go?"

"Blue Flame, you haven't even broken through the Mid-stage Palace Building; if you take the Legacy, can you walk out of this tower alive?"

The Hundred Eyes Demon King paused for a moment.

The Blue Flame Demon King also hesitated for an instant.

The Earth Fiend Demon King sneered: "Sowing discord? Save it."

"How we split it is none of your concern."

The Hundred Eyes Demon King collected himself and chuckled: "We accept Brother Earth Fiend taking the Legacy."

"The primal yin of the succubus is of great use to cultivation; it belongs to me."

"Her territory and Magic Treasure belong to Blue Flame."

"We already discussed this; you don't need to waste your breath."

Yu Rumeng's smile stiffened.

She gritted her teeth, the Devilish Qi within her body beginning to surge, as if she were about to self-detonate.

The Earth Fiend Demon King raised his hand, his Evil Qi transforming into a large black hand that pressed down toward the top of Yu Rumeng's head.

"Self-detonate? In front of me, you think you can just self-detonate whenever you want?"

The moment the large Evil Qi hand pressed down, Yu Rumeng felt the Devilish Qi inside her being suppressed.

It was like being choked by an invisible hand.

Her face was pale, her lips trembling, but she did not close her eyes.

She stared fixedly at the Earth Fiend Demon King, as if she wanted to carve his face into her bones.

Then she saw Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng walked out of the shadows; his pace was not fast, but it was steady.

He wore a dusty black robe, with a pitch-black longsword hanging at his waist.

His face was mostly obscured by the brim of his hat.

Yu Rumeng did not know him, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

For some reason, she felt that this person's profile looked very punchable.

And it was like the kind of annoying person who insists on getting involved even when they could have just minded their own business.

The Earth Fiend Demon King also saw Chu Sheng.

He withdrew the large Evil Qi hand, stepped back half a step, and his gaze swept over Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng did not hide his presence; he couldn't hide it from an old-timer Demon King like the Earth Fiend Demon King anyway.

Mid-stage Palace Building, a lower Realm than his, but Chu Sheng's sword looked extraordinary.

The main thing was that they were all injured, having consumed too much Devilish Qi in the battle against Yu Rumeng.

If another intact Dao Palace Demon King were to arrive at this moment, even if only at the Mid-stage Palace Building, appearing suddenly in such a situation would be enough to affect the outcome of the battle.

His expression darkened, and his tone was polite but retained its authority.

"This brother looks unfamiliar, a newly promoted Demon King?"

"I am Earth Fiend from the Wanmo Hall, and these two are Hundred Eyes and Blue Flame."

"We are dealing with a thief; this is none of your business."

"If you do not wish to get involved, please feel free to leave."

"Once this matter is concluded, I will personally host a banquet to entertain you."

Yu Rumeng looked at Chu Sheng and gritted her teeth.

She did not know this person, but she had no choice.

She spoke, her voice hoarse: "Help me. I can give you everything."

Chu Sheng glanced at her but did not speak.

The Earth Fiend Demon King's expression turned even uglier.

He stepped forward, blocking Yu Rumeng from view, and said to Chu Sheng.

"Brother, don't listen to her."

"This woman is cunning and full of sweet talk; she cannot be trusted."

"I am a Demon King of the Wanmo Hall; the Hall Master already knows of this matter and is sending people to arrive soon."

"If you are willing to help me capture this woman, I can make the decision to grant you a large fief, and with the protection of the Wanmo Hall, no one in the Northern Region will dare to provoke you from now on."

Chu Sheng was silent for a few breaths, then smiled: "Sounds good. Deal."

The Earth Fiend Demon King was overjoyed, the gloom on his face swept away.

The Hundred Eyes Demon King and the Blue Flame Demon King also breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing their vigilance.

The Hundred Eyes Demon King even turned around to continue using his lasers to block Yu Rumeng's retreat.

Yu Rumeng's heart sank to the bottom.

Three against one... no, now it was four against one.

She closed her eyes, the Devilish Qi in her body beginning to reverse.

A desperate fight.

Taking one down wouldn't be a loss; taking two down would be a huge profit.

A black Sword Qi flashed past her.

It was not aimed at her, but at the Hundred Eyes Demon King.

The Sword Qi was as fast as lightning; the Hundred Eyes Demon King didn't even have time to react before the Sword Qi struck his head.

The Hundred Eyes Demon King's head was covered in densely packed eyes, which were also his means of attack.

His body instinctively dodged, but he didn't fully evade it.

A small portion of his head was sliced off, along with a dozen of his eyes.

Black blood sprayed from the wound, and the Hundred Eyes Demon King let out a shrill scream, clutching his head and rolling on the ground.

The Earth Fiend Demon King's expression changed drastically; he turned abruptly, and the large Evil Qi hand slapped toward Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng dodged to the side and struck back with his sword, the Sword Qi slicing the large Evil Qi hand in two.

"What are you still standing there for? Help!" Chu Sheng shouted to Yu Rumeng.

Yu Rumeng opened her eyes, stunned for a moment.

Then she smiled, her smile blooming like a flower, like a shattered rose.

Hahahaha, her life was not meant to end here!

She did not know this person, but she suddenly felt a familiar sense of intimacy from him; he didn't seem so punchable anymore.
