229: Chapter 229

After reverting to his original form, the Flame Demon Ruler's voice became deep and raspy, as if emanating from his abdomen.

"Arrogant Snake-Human, you still want to trap me with ice? Don't you know fire overcomes ice?"

"Prairie-Burning Fire!"

The fire roared past, filling the entire enclosed space, and quickly melted the ice barrier Xiao Bai had laid down.

"Don't be so happy, you old lecherous demon. That little one should really like the flames you've conjured."

"Huo Linger, come out and get to work."

After calling several times with no response, Xiao Bai had no choice but to take out a chicken feather and poke it into the small hole of the lotus platform, stirring it continuously.

"Ugh, so annoying! I can't even get a good sleep."

Huo Linger crawled out of the lotus platform impatiently. Seeing that she was surrounded by flames, she instantly perked up.

"Wow, so much fire energy! Why didn't you call me out sooner?"

Slurp!

She opened her small mouth and continuously increased her devouring, her nose not idle either, frantically sucking in the energy.

Very quickly, she devoured all the flames in this area, looking as if she hadn't had enough.

The Flame Demon Ruler looked astonished: "How can this be? What is the origin of this little thing? She sucked away all my flames in an instant."

Chapter 306: No Accepting Surrender

After melting the ice barrier, there was still a cage formed by diamond chains on the outer perimeter, filling the Flame Demon Ruler's eyes with despair.

"Did you think I only had these tricks? Do you have some misunderstanding about an Emperor Realm Expert?"

Xiao Bai continued to mock: "It's all you guys who corrupted me. You always like to show off before fighting."

"I have to thank you for your suggestion. If I hadn't come to Demon Cloud City, I wouldn't have been able to rescue the Saintess."

"So the despicable and shameless Snake-Human has been hiding in the shadows, tailing us all along."

The Flame Demon Ruler pounded his chest in anger, his mouth constantly spewing flames.

"For tens of thousands of years, I have never looked at the Yao Race with respect. You are just the lowest-level race."

Every time he spewed flames, they would be sucked away by Huo Linger.

The flames that originally covered his lower body also disappeared, exposing his emaciated, spindly legs, which matched his other form quite well.

It looked truly eerie and extremely uncoordinated; no wonder he had used flames to cover his lower body before.

Huo Linger put her hands on her hips: "Hmph, hurry up and conjure more fire! I haven't eaten my fill yet."

The Flame Demon Ruler prepared to slip away, not forgetting to leave behind harsh words for Xiao Bai before leaving.

"Snake-Human, it's not that I'm afraid of you, but that fire spirit is extremely strange and can perfectly suppress my flames."

"We shall fight another day; I won't keep you company anymore."

The Flame Demon Ruler decisively transformed into a mist of blood and retreated rapidly, and the previously melted ice barrier re-solidified.

"What's the rush? Is your wife about to give birth?"

"There's no better time than now. If we wait for another day, you'll definitely invite those Cultivators to beat me up."

Just as he touched the ice wall, the mist of blood rapidly solidified; he couldn't break out at all, and the Flame Demon Ruler transformed back into his stone person original form.

Only in this situation could his defense reach its Peak.

Huo Linger quickly arrived beside the Flame Demon Ruler, holding a small iron rod that had been burned red, and kept patting his stone head.

"Why have you gone silent? Conjure some more."

Don't let Huo Linger's small size fool you; she was quite strong. Under the continuous beating, even his rock-hard head couldn't take it.

"Little Mistress, spare me! The fire energy in my body has all been sucked away by you; it's very difficult to release any now."

The Flame Demon Ruler spat out a few wisps of black smoke from his mouth; he could no longer spew flames.

"Sigh, how boring. Only this little bit of energy? I thought I could have a full meal."

"This baby is going to rest. Goodbye."

Huo Linger sucked the fire energy out of the Flame Demon Ruler's body and returned to the lotus platform to continue sleeping. Now her appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and she liked eating things with higher heat content the most.

"Demonic Lord, do you still want to resist? How about I let the little one come out and spar with you a few more times?"

The Flame Demon Ruler hadn't really fought Xiao Bai much before he was rendered speechless by Huo Linger. His most proud Fire Cultivation Technique had already failed, and his strength was rapidly declining.

In his current state, he had no chance of winning against Xiao Bai. As the saying goes, those who know the times are wise; he decisively chose to surrender.

"Please, Snake Immortal, spare my life. From now on, the Demon Race will swear allegiance to you."

Xiao Bai cursed: "Damn it, 'Snake Immortal' again? Can you change your script? Are Cultivators really that impressive?"

"Snake King, spare my life! I was just speaking without thinking and misspoke."

"If you had known today would come, why act as you did? If you hadn't colluded with Yan Ding, I might have spared you. Prepare to die."

The Flame Demon Ruler couldn't last ten moves in Xiao Bai's hands and ultimately died by self-detonation, unable to bear the humiliation.

The Bull Demon Emperor, tens of miles away, saw the explosion of fire behind him. He had fought the Flame Demon Ruler for tens of thousands of years, and the separation just now was their final farewell.

"Stop looking. The Demonic Lord is dead. We will immediately charge into the Demon Capital and kill the invaders. From now on, the Demon Race will be completely under our control."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The Bull Demon army charged towards the Demon Capital like a mountain-shaking tsunami, clashing with the Dragon Clan army.

In the territory of the Demon Capital, neither the Dragon Clan nor the Ghost Race could gain any advantage.

"Old Ghost, I feel like I can't exert my strength; I can't even use eighty percent of my power."

Gui Jianchou looked worried: "You're lucky. I can't even use seventy percent."

"Report to the Dragon Emperor, our main rear force has encountered an attack by a group of wild bulls, which has scattered our formation. They are already coming towards us."

Ao Wuming was shocked: "How many are there?"

"Not less than one hundred thousand."

Gui Jianchou flew into the high sky to overlook the Bull Demon army, his brows furrowed with worry.

"Not good, the Bull Demon army has arrived. Their combat power is stronger than most of the Demon Race, and their leader, the Bull Demon Emperor, possesses Emperor Realm Cultivation, not below the Flame Demon Ruler."

"The Bull Demon Clan is born with a berserk attribute. Once activated, they possess a super-strong Tyrant Body, and their ramming can be immune to various controls."

A large number of the Dragon Clan were sent flying by the savage bull horns, completely unable to stop the charge of the Bull Demon army.

Meanwhile, the resisting Demon Race in the city saw the reinforcements from outside the city arrive and launched a crazy counterattack, killing the coalition forces in the city.

Feng Yun was besieged by two Demon Race Protectors and was forced to retreat step by step. She could not exert eighty percent of her power here, and even an eighth-level Devil King dared to clamor in front of her.

"Queen, I will help you. Brother Bai is not here, so I must ensure your safety."

Gui Jianchou quickly flew to Feng Yun's side and held off the other Protector. He was struggling to fight an eighth-level Devil King now, and it would be good enough just to escape unscathed.

"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!"

Countless ghost shadows flew over, causing this area to instantly darken.

Gui Jianchou covered the injured Feng Yun and retreated rapidly.

"Your Majesty, let's retreat first! After entering the Demon Capital, everyone's Cultivation has dropped rapidly. I can't even use seventy percent of my power."

"These seventh-level Devil Kings and eighth-level Devil Kings dare to clamor in front of us. If we continue to fight, we won't gain any advantage."

"Moreover, there are millions of the Demon Race. Once the Flame Demon Ruler returns, none of us will be able to leave."

Ao Wuming led his men in a rout to this side.

"Yes, let's retreat quickly! Our Cultivation has decreased, and we can't beat them at all."

"The Bull Demon army has already charged towards our rear, and the formation has long been scattered."

Three Elders of the Demon Race led their elite forces to surround Feng Yun and the others.

"The graceful Snake-Human Queen, don't be in such a hurry to go back after coming all this way to be a guest in the Demon Race territory. The Demonic Lord will be very happy when he returns."

"The Demonic Lord dreams of having a night of passion with Your Majesty. He often ordered us to sneak into the Snake-People Territory to catch you."

"You hid in the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan territory, and we were never able to succeed."

Poisonous smoke rose up behind Feng Yun, and a large number of Demon Race soldiers were poisoned to death on the spot.

Several fox demons shouted excitedly: "This... is the Little Fairy Doctor!"

The Little Fairy Doctor arrived forcefully, her whole body emitting poisonous gas.

"Take these Medicinal Pills. They can ensure your Cultivation is not affected for an hour. There are only three; act quickly to win the battle."

"The Saintess has been saved. Once Xiao Bai finishes off the Flame Demon Ruler, he will come to support us immediately."

Chapter 307: Too Difficult for the Bull

After recovering her full strength, Feng Yun felt full of power. She swung the Vermilion Bird Divine Sword and beheaded the two Protectors who had injured her on the spot.

Ao Wuming was in high spirits and restored his Peak combat power.

"Wonderful! As expected of the Little Fairy Doctor, to actually have such a magical Medicinal Pill."

"My name is Ao Wuming, the new Dragon Emperor. After destroying these damned Demon Race, I must invite you for a few drinks."

Just as he wanted to reach out to shake hands to express his gratitude, he was discouraged by a death stare from the Little Fairy Doctor.

Gui Jianchou joked: "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor is truly elegant; he becomes humorous whenever he sees a beautiful woman."

"She is not only the Little Fairy Doctor of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan, but also the Heavenly Poison Woman. Aren't you afraid of being poisoned by shaking hands with her?"

"Old Ghost, you really... I was just simply expressing my gratitude, not as despicable and lewd as you say."

"The competition officially begins. The bet made before entering the city remains valid."

Ao Wuming, having recovered his strength, fought more bravely as the battle went on. The Little Fairy Doctor also handed the last three remaining Medicinal Pills to the three strongest members of the coalition.

Others were having a harder time. Many had Cultivation clearly higher than the Demon Race, but they were suppressed by the Domain inherent to the Demon Capital and were passive and beaten everywhere.
