Chapter 975: Chapter 975 - 441: Landlord Arc – Becoming a Butterfly
First comes the roar.
An incessant roar!
A terrifying roar, almost drowning out the sound of the rain!
Then comes the wind.
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
The intense wind pressure bends the willow trees by the river to the ground.
Amid the thunderous rumble, the rolling river water crashes against the stone walls on both sides.
Splash!
As the towering waves splash up, above, with a swoosh, flies a large plaque with "Hundred Herbs Hall" written on it.
Following the direction from which the plaque flew, pushing forward a few hundred meters, there, is the source of the beastly roar, the source of these layers of invisible sound waves!
"Unbelievable... hahahahahaha! Incredible!!!"
The fierce wind blows away the surrounding building debris, swaying the Hidden Demon’s manic laughter and ferocious expression.
"Found a treasure! Found a treasure!!! It turns out, in Tianyuan Town, there is a second Pure Blood Demon!!!"
The Hidden Demon gazed with extreme excitement at the monster in front, laughing maniacally as if possessed, while holding a large ice sculpture in his palm.
Trapped inside the ice sculpture is the Green Demon.
At this moment, he is staring blankly at the monster ahead.
The monster issuing a beastly roar.
"Blood Demon... demon?"
He knows the existence ahead is the Blood Demon, yet feels... it seems no longer a Blood Demon.
Ahead, the humanoid monster covered entirely in black bark is roaring towards the sky.
Its eyes have disappeared, leaving only hollow sockets, its mouth expanded to occupy almost half its face, and that exaggerated roar, with it as the center, is spreading out layers of sound waves!
Layers of invisible sound waves spread outwards, not only flinging away all surrounding ruins but also making it extremely difficult for the two women, clinging stubbornly to the bent trees, to maintain their grip.
"Is that Diao Deyi? Is that Diao Deyi! Is that still Diao Deyi!!"
Diao Ruru cried out tearfully.
"Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up!!!" Ding Hui, clinging tightly to the tree roots on the ground, revealed her true nature to Diao Ruru for the first time.
Previously, that gentle and virtuous appearance was all a facade; now, letting go with one hand and driving her nails into her head, making herself bleed as she suppresses her excitement, is her true self!
I must save Diao Deyi! I must save Diao Deyi... No! No! I must claim him! I must claim him! So beautiful! His current form is so beautiful!!!
"Doctor Ding! Save him! Save Diao Deyi!"
Diao Ruru suddenly let go, and as the wind pressure lifted her, she threw her arms tightly around Ding Hui’s waist.
"Please! Doctor Ding! Save Diao Deyi!!"
Yes! To save Diao Deyi now, we must first save Diao Deyi!
But... how to save?
Diao Deyi is right here in front of us!
He’s not dead!
After being ambushed by that thing, he’s not dead.
He’s still alive and well right here in front of us!
How do we even save him?
As Ding Hui struggled to suppress her brain’s mad thoughts...
The wind.
Suddenly stopped.
The ongoing roar also ceased.
"Diao, Diao Deyi?!"
Diao Ruru thudded to the ground, crawling up with hands and feet, wanting to rush forward to save him, but was grabbed fiercely by Ding Hui!
"Doctor Ding?!"
"Shh!"
Ding Hui pointed ahead.
There, where the just-roaring Diao Deyi stopped and looked down at the figure in front with outreached hands and a smile.
"How should I address you? Pure Blood Wood Demon, come with me. Tianyuan Town is too small; let me take you..."
Slice.
The Hidden Demon’s hand was severed.
The hand, along with part of the forearm, was sliced off by something, falling to the ground.
But the Hidden Demon’s smile didn’t change.
"Oh dear, it seems my new partner is a bit ill-tempered."
The response was a roar.
"Roar!!!!"
The exaggerated sound wave appeared again, as the air pressure spread around, Ding Hui and Diao Ruru instinctively clung to the bent tree roots again.
And ahead, the Hidden Demon was sprayed with spittle from the roar.
But the Hidden Demon laughed.
Maniacal laughter!
"Hahahaha! Very lively! Very lively indeed!!!!"
The Green Demon only saw its vision blur.
Bam!!!
A punch.
Just a punch.
The monster, which had just been roaring at the Hidden Demon, was hurled hundreds of meters away, smashing through several houses, leaving a trench in its path.
But due to the fight here, the surrounding humans had long since fled, leaving no human noise behind.
Shadows spread from the severed hand location, solidifying into form.
Letting the Green Demon’s ice sculpture fall to the ground, the Hidden Demon swooshed and disappeared from the spot.
"Blood Demon!!!"
The Green Demon shouted, the ice sculpture vibrating madly, spreading cracks ka-cha ka-cha.
"Diao Deyi!!!"
The two shouted in unison, scrambling up from the ground, running toward that side.
But hadn’t taken two steps...
Thump thump thump thump thump thump!!
The sound of fierce fighting transmitted from there, growing closer, accompanied by continuous tremors on the ground.
"There it is!"
Ding Hui shouted, their pupils transforming into the texture of ice crystals.
The next instant, she barely caught sight of a scene.
It was Diao Deyi, covered in bloody holes, filling the gaps and returning to full form almost in the blink of an eye! Then the Great Demon’s glowing finger tapped him on the forehead.
Bang!!!
His head exploded.
The headless body fell, splashing mud and water everywhere.
"Diao Deyi!!!"
Diao Ruru’s screaming was drowned out by the thunder’s rumble.
