23: Hostage, Wu Yinyao!

A shocking sword light illuminated the night sky, slashing fiercely downwards into the abyss.

“Hmph!”

The Demon Seed's slightly weakened voice resonated, and the red lines spanning thousands of miles solidified from their ethereal state.

While forcing Meng Yun and others into a dream, it was also in a death seclusion.

To avoid alerting its prey, it did not instinctively hunt humans. Instead, it refined countless demonic beasts, attempting to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm with this energy.

Alas, it calculated everything but failed to account for Meng Yun waking up early!

The monstrous red lines transformed into chains, fiercely striking down at Meng Yun!

Meng Yun’s tiny human body, facing the world-piercing crimson chains, was like an ant trying to shake a tree, or a mayfly seeing the vast sky.

“Die!”

The Demon Seed's body squirmed, rising from the depths of the abyss, stretching across the sky, more mysterious than the moon, more dazzling than the sun!

Its eyes opened and closed, and countless death fluctuations spread out, turning thousands of miles into a dead land.

Meng Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and the golden sword light severed all the chains.

But as one was destroyed, thousands more, endless in number, appeared!

This generation's Demon Seed was clearly outrageously strong!

Is this really a normal level?

This is a world-destroying level!

Or is it that as the number of simulation restarts increases, the challenge of this world is also gradually increasing?

This Demon Seed, could it be like him, also reincarnating with memories?

If that were truly the case, then his subsequent simulations would have to control the number of resets as much as possible, striving for a quick clear in one life.

These numerous thoughts seemed like many, but they passed in an instant.

His eyes burned with boundless fighting spirit, and he soared into the sky once more.

Yes, this is more like it!

He was too used to suppressing everything with one move; there was no experience to be had!

Come on, Demon Seed, the grievances of three lifetimes will be settled today!

Let’s fight to our heart’s content, to determine both victory and death!

…

Wu Yinyao and Luo Mian transformed into streaks of light, rapidly flying towards the extreme north. When they were still thousands of miles away, they suddenly felt a shocking surge of energy shooting into the sky!

Looking again, the northern sky was already a blood-red, with endless red chains seemingly imprisoning that entire space.

“Meng Yun!” Wu Yinyao’s pretty face turned pale, and her already extremely fast figure surged again!

“This is going to be difficult…” Luo Mian gritted his teeth, his expression grave. He could keenly sense that the casual fluctuations leaking from there could easily crush him into dust!

They absolutely could not go to that place; they might even become a burden to Meng Yun!

“Wu Yinyao! Stop, you stop right now!”

“You damn—”

Luo Mian transformed into a streak of light, quickly moving to intercept her.

“Squeak, squeak—”

Suddenly, sounds and auras from the ground attracted Wu Yinyao.

From there, she sensed Meng Yun’s aura.

So Wu Yinyao came to the ground, searched around for a bit, and rounded a large rock.

She saw a small white fox anxiously pawing at a sword array barrier, seemingly wanting to get out.

When Wu Yinyao saw it, her beautiful eyes trembled fiercely, and her guess became even more certain.

She had seen this little fox in her dream!

“Little one… are you, Linglong?”

Linglong’s enlightenment was interrupted at a critical moment, unexpectedly affected by the aftermath of the battle, so she had to give up reluctantly.

When it woke up, it found that meng yun gundam was not by its side, and it became extremely anxious.

“Squeak!” Seeing Wu Yinyao, Linglong’s eyes lit up, and it nodded quickly:

This figure and voice, it must be meng yun gundam’s wife!

Wu Yinyao busied herself for a while, finally destroying the half-damaged sword array. She picked up Linglong, gently stroked its fur, and greedily breathed in the residual Meng Yun aura from it.

Linglong: “…”

This woman is so perverted!

It’s still a child! It’s still a little beast!

“Is it Meng Yun? Did he put you here?” Wu Yinyao asked.

Linglong was startled, and shook its head blankly. It was asleep at the time, and it didn't know where Meng Yun went.

“It must be.” Looking at Linglong’s confused appearance, Wu Yinyao answered her own question: “He went to fight the Demon Seed.”

Linglong was startled.

Good heavens, it exclaimed good heavens!

How can a humanoid Gundam not have a pilot!

Luo Mian arrived belatedly at this moment. As soon as he landed, before he could say anything, he saw Linglong being held in Wu Yinyao’s arms, and they soared into the sky again.

Both the person and the beast had firm gazes and soaring fighting spirit!

Luo Mian: “…”

What could he do? He could only follow, to help if he could!

…

“Dharma Banishment!”

Meng Yun raised his wooden sword high, and the golden sword light pierced through the stars, then slashed down at the Demon Seed.

Countless red chains coiled around it. Some entwined like vines, while others wrapped around its body layer by layer, forming an impenetrable red sphere.

It was a hundred miles in diameter, suffocating.

Meng Yun saw this without joy or sorrow, and once again increased his power, going all out.

Boom!

The sword light surged again, bursting all the attacking chains, and then slashed towards the hundred-mile sphere.

Clang!

The sound of clashing metal caused the earth to quake, shaking heaven and earth.

But he also successfully broke through the Demon Seed's defenses. The layers of chains peeled away, revealing its true form.

Gazing at the tightly closed eyes, Meng Yun had a bad premonition, and immediately released sword qi, slashing out again.

Thud.

The demonic eye suddenly opened, and a torrent of red energy, like world-ending blood flames, enveloped Meng Yun.

In haste, Meng Yun’s sword light shattered, and his whole body was struck by the torrent, sent plummeting from the sky to the ground, embedding deep into the earth.

Like a meteorite falling to earth.

The land for several miles around cracked inch by inch, and dust filled the air.

“Heh heh, so fragile…”

The Demon Seed laughed gleefully: “One more strike, and I’ll take your life. This heaven and earth, all mine…”

But it clearly did not know the law of no damage with smoke.

Just as it was about to open its eyes again and release the energy torrent, a soft cough slowly came from the bottom of the crater.

“Cough cough…”

“You’ve only gained a slight upper hand, what are you so proud of…” Meng Yun swayed, sneering.

Although he said so, his swaying figure, propped up by his long sword, still betrayed him.

At this moment, Meng Yun’s condition was definitely not good.

The Demon Subduing Swordplay itself consumed a great deal, and continuous attack output had already depleted his inner reserves.

And being ambushed by the Demon Seed's new move, his strength had now dropped by more than half.

But, trash talk must be done!

“Oh? You can still stand up?” A hint of surprise appeared in the Demon Seed’s eyes.

One must know, it had sacrificed billions of demonic beasts and secluded itself for ten years to step into the Earth Immortal Realm.

This unremarkable handsome young man, what did he rely on!

Just a ten-year dream, and he woke up directly as a half-step Earth Immortal!

Why? Why him!

The Demon Seed grew more and more alarmed the more it thought about it, and more and more fearful the more it looked.

Having fought Meng Yun until now, its own strength was also less than half. Unable to see through Meng Yun’s true strength, it was already somewhat flustered!

No, absolutely no holding back, this child must be killed here!

With this thought, its alarm turned into ruthless decisiveness!

A sensation came from the red lines around its body, and the Demon Seed's heart suddenly filled with joy.

Ecstasy!!

Wu Yinyao, it’s Wu Yinyao!

It was simply too easy to obtain!

Meng Yun, Meng Yun, this time, let’s see if you won’t obediently surrender and offer your neck for the slaughter!!

Invisible red lines silently coiled outwards for thousands of miles.

Meanwhile, Meng Yun also raised his sword again, soaring into the sky.

He once again unleashed the Demon Subduing Swordplay in his hand. Just as he was about to strike, an unexpected change occurred.

“Hahahaha, Meng Yun, why don’t you look at who this is?”

Red lines stretched out from the void, and the figure tied at the end made Meng Yun’s eyelids twitch wildly, his heart shocked!

It was Wu Yinyao, and the fox Linglong!
