640: Chapter 51 The Morally Inept Chonglou

After Meng Li, Jing Tian, and Xu Changqing entered the Jile World, they passed through without any obstacles thanks to the Ghost Soldiers on duty clearing the way, reaching the Fire Ghost King's palace directly.

It was completely unlike the original plot where Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian had to gamble to bribe the guards and act to earn the tears of the deceased.

As the three reached the palace entrance, they heard Zi Xuan inside saying, "As long as I, Zi Xuan, have a single breath left, I will protect Xu Changqing with my life."

Hearing this, Xu Changqing, Jing Tian, and Meng Li were all stunned.

After a moment, Xu Changqing asked in confusion, "Why is this Miss Zi Xuan protecting me so fiercely?"

Because she is your old flame who has loved you for two lifetimes!

Jing Tian replied in his heart, but said aloud, "I don't know either."

Meng Li said, "Let's go in and see."

While speaking, the three followed several Ghost Soldiers into the palace and saw Zi Xuan lying on the ground with a pale face, Chonglou with a haughty but complex expression, the Fire Ghost King dressed flamboyantly watching the show from a corner, and Xi Feng acting as a transparent person with his head down and his heart at ease.

At the same time, these people also saw Meng Li's group. All were surprised, their expressions varying.

Zi Xuan looked at Xu Changqing with a complex expression, hesitating to speak.

Chonglou's gaze shifted between Meng Li and Jing Tian, looking somewhat excited.

The Fire Ghost King's eyes swept back and forth between Meng Li, Jing Tian, and Xu Changqing, finally settling on Meng Li with eyes shining.

Xi Feng was only briefly surprised before continuing to act as a transparent person.

Just as the leading Ghost Soldier was about to report, the Fire Ghost King waved a hand and said, "I have seen the people. There is nothing more for you here, dismiss yourselves."

"Yes."

Sensing the tense atmosphere, the Ghost Soldiers quickly responded and left.

As soon as they left, Chonglou stared at Meng Li and Jing Tian, saying, "Meng Li, Feipeng, you've come at the right time."

"Have a good fight with me. Let me see how much you've improved."

Meng Li frowned and said, "Didn't we agree last time to wait one day according to the Demon Realm's time? It's far from the agreed deadline. What, you, the dignified Demon Realm Supreme, are going back on your word?"

Saying that, he pushed Xu Changqing toward Zi Xuan while sending a telepathic message: "Chonglou is here for me and Jing Tian; we won't have our hands free."

"Check her condition and then look after her."

Xu Changqing was slightly surprised. After a moment of thought, he found it reasonable and followed the instruction, squatting down to check on Zi Xuan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he squatted, Zi Xuan naturally leaned into his arms and whispered, "You shouldn't have come."

Despite her words, her tone was filled with joy.

Xu Changqing: "???"

Before he could ask, Zi Xuan closed her eyes and fainted.

The atmosphere was tense, and Xu Changqing couldn't call out. He could only silently apologize for the offense, then pick up Zi Xuan and move to the side to check her condition.

Chonglou noticed this and frowned briefly, but quickly turned his attention back to Meng Li and Jing Tian. With a slight curl of his lips, he responded to Meng Li, "The agreement last time was for me to find you, but now you have found me."

"The situation is different, so naturally, it doesn't count as breaking the promise."

Jing Tian was stunned.

Meng Li's mouth twitched.

What a "situation is different, doesn't count as breaking the promise." After staying in the human world for a few days, you've learned the art of sophistry!

As soon as Chonglou finished speaking, he raised his hand and struck out with dark red lightning toward Meng Li and Jing Tian.

Jing Tian was startled and hurriedly dodged backward.

Meng Li raised his hand. The ground in front of him shattered, and soil and rubble sprayed upward, forming a reverse waterfall that reflected the dark red lightning back with an upward surge.

An enhanced version of Gen Character - Earth Waterfall — Earth Waterfall Counter-Armor!

Chonglou's eyes lit up. He waved his hand to cancel out the reflected lightning with another strike and said happily, "Very good. To have such significant progress in such a short time, you haven't been idle. Again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet suddenly rose up.

Chonglou was startled at first, then immediately thought of the Kun Character - Earth River Cart Meng Li had used last time, and quickly spread his wings to fly back.

He didn't want to take another combo and fall into a situation where he could only be beaten; it was too disgusting!

However, after retreating a distance, Chonglou found that the situation was different from what he expected.

After the Earth River Cart rose up, it didn't immediately pursue him but instead transformed on the spot into a several-zhang-tall earth-and-stone giant, swinging its fist at him.

An enhanced version of Kun Character - Earth River Cart — Earth River Vajra!

Chonglou was a bit dazed.

Jing Tian, Xu Changqing, the Fire Ghost King, and Xi Feng were also stunned.

However, Chonglou's reaction was not slow at all. He swung the yanbo bloodblade, unleashing a blade light that slashed through the Earth River Vajra's fist and completely through its body, shattering it with unstoppable force.

But just as he destroyed the Earth River Vajra, he was met head-on by the Demon Sword slashing directly at him.

In desperation, Chonglou could only hurriedly retract his momentum and cross the yanbo bloodblade to block, yet he was still forced back to the corner before he could barely stop.

Just as he stabilized himself and prepared to build momentum for a counterattack, a figure suddenly shot out from Meng Li's body.

Before Chonglou could react, the figure punched him in the chest.

The punch shook the entire palace, making it sway and tilt.

Youthful Body of One Qi into Three Bodies!

An enhanced version of Gen Character - Kunlun — Fist Shaking Kunlun!

The Fire Ghost King was so shocked that her face paled.

Jing Tian was so scared that he quickly grabbed a nearby stone pillar to steady himself.

Xu Changqing subconsciously protected Zi Xuan in his arms.

Zi Xuan was startled awake. Seeing Xu Changqing's action, her lips curled up, and she snuggled closer into his arms.

Xi Feng leaned against the stone wall behind him.

After a while, the shaking of the palace slowly stopped.

Then, Xi Feng hurriedly looked at Chonglou and was horrified to find that Chonglou was deeply embedded in the stone wall, with the Demon Sword stuck in him.

This was because Meng Li had taken the opportunity to add a sword strike, though it didn't go too deep.

Because Chonglou had reacted and caught the sword.

Soon, Chonglou exerted force, shaking the Demon Sword out of his body, and then turned into a streak of light, detaching himself from the stone wall.

Meng Li caught the Demon Sword and announced to Chonglou, "You lost."

Chonglou said indignantly, "You borrowed the power of the earth, fought with numbers, and launched a sneak attack in the middle. This is not a fair victory."

Meng Li curled his lips and said, "Borrowing the power of the earth is the result of my successful cultivation."

"As for fighting with numbers, the Incarnation technique still counts as my own skill."

"As for the sneak attack, it's just that there can never be too much deception in war."

"Exactly, exactly," Jing Tian echoed repeatedly, then added, "Red-Haired Demon, a loss is a loss; it's no big deal. Not admitting it after losing ruins your character."

Chonglou snorted coldly, "I am a demon, not a human. Where would I get human character?"

Jing Tian: "..."

That made so much sense that he was actually speechless.

Then, Chonglou said to Meng Li, "This time counts as your win, but the venue was too small, and my strength was restricted. It wasn't a satisfying fight."

"When you reach the Demon Realm, I will fight you with all my strength for a satisfying battle."

Then, he looked at Jing Tian again, "And you, Feipeng. Meng Li's strength has improved significantly, and I acknowledge it. Next time, I want to see how much of your strength has recovered and continue our unfinished battle."

Jing Tian's expression froze, and he wanted to say something.

But Chonglou didn't give him the chance. Leaving behind "I will wait for you in the Demon Realm," he turned into a streak of light and left.

Seeing this, Xi Feng hurriedly followed.

Jing Tian was about to complain when he saw the Fire Ghost King walking over with a swaying posture, her eyes staring straight at Meng Li.

"What a handsome young master. I wonder if you are married?"

As soon as the Fire Ghost King finished speaking, she found a red-clothed figure appearing in front of Meng Li.

"Get lost!"
