Chapter 2420 - 2425: You Are a Pitiful Man

Chapter 2420: Chapter 2425: You Are a Pitiful Man

After that, the red dot within the frost cold burst out endlessly.

Along with it, a wave of heat spread forth.

King Lan’s pupils narrowed slightly.

Because his Frost Cold Power, combined with his own Demon Essence,

was something almost no one in the world could break through.

At most five people could handle it, but among those five,

there was absolutely no Xia Liu!

His foundation was only enough to push his Cultivation up to Demon Lord eighth rank.

Breaking through was impossible!

The scene that shocked King Lan even more was still to come.

He saw the frost cold condensed from his Demon Essence actually being melted by a surge of flame!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The roaring of Flame rampaged through the Void.

At the same time, the frost-covered heavens and earth were gradually dissolved, restoring their former appearance!

"Damn! How can he possibly burn away my Demon Essence!"

King Lan was utterly terrified.

The Cold Frost Demon Origin was his trump card.

In the past, whenever he unleashed it, any expert who was struck by this Divine Skill

would without exception sink into exhaustion and weakness.

Until they fell within it, becoming frozen corpses.

Even a Demon Infant could not escape.

Today was the first time he’d seen someone capable of burning his Demon Essence!

Not long after, that handsome figure once again appeared in King Lan’s line of sight.

"Old man, your Frost Cold Power is indeed interesting, but what’s coming next is even more interesting! Do you have the chance to withstand it?"

Xia Liu asked coldly.

"You!"

Startled to find formless flames assaulting him, King Lan had no time to think and Instantaneously Moved his body ten miles away.

Chi chi!

A shocking sound spread out; the place where King Lan had just been standing twisted directly, blackened cracks showing everywhere.

Too close!

King Lan began gulping air.

Because his Cold Frost Demon Origin inside his body had been surging; if that formless Flame had struck him,

the situation within his body would have become unimaginably tragic.

He might even have self-detonated without Xia Liu needing to lift a hand.

He’d been careless!

"You managed to escape once."

Seeing King Lan hide away his Cold Frost Demon Origin, Xia Liu gave a helpless bitter smile.

The reaction speed of a Demon Lord ninth rank expert really was beyond his expectations.

Using fire to counter cold—next time, he might not get such an opportunity.

"Hmph! You’ve succeeded in provoking my anger!"

"Your anger isn’t worth half a cent!"

Not giving King Lan any chance to strike back, Xia Liu pinched a Seal Technique, and the Floating Demon Tower appeared in his palm.

"Go!"

As Xia Liu sacrificed the Floating Demon Tower,

the Demon Tower swelled several times over, becoming an eternal tower that suppressed the heavens and earth!

Directly beneath the center of the tower, King Lan’s gaze turned icy.

Because he sensed an ancient Demon Might pouring endlessly down from the Demon Tower above his head!

This Demon Might imposed a colossal pressure on him.

It even bound him in place!

Bound!

For a Demon Lord ninth rank expert, this was such a shameful state!

Yet King Lan was indeed slightly bound.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, King Lan wanted to use an instantaneous body technique to dodge the power of the Floating Demon Tower.

But the Cold Frost poison attacking his heart flared; before his Divine Skills could condense, a sweet taste rose in his throat.

Pu!

A mouthful of Demon Blood sprayed from King Lan’s mouth.

The blood contained an immense amount of Demon Essence.

It also further damaged his Demon Body.

In an instant, his spirit and Energy fell to rock bottom.

Xia Liu even felt a certain confidence that in this state, King Lan would be unable to withstand his Sword Mastery!

A dignified Demon Lord ninth rank expert had actually fallen to such a state.

Unbelievable.

Yet he had no choice but to admit this reality.

In the end, Xia Liu did not activate the Floating Demon Tower’s power.

Seeing the Demon Tower above being put away by Xia Liu, King Lan stared at Xia Liu with a bewildered face.

"Why don’t you kill me?"

"You’re a pitiful man, and you’re also Lan Lianxue’s father. I don’t want to kill you."

Xia Liu spoke frankly.

"Hmph! I, a dignified Demon Lord ninth rank expert, am a pitiful man? What a joke!"

"Yes, a dignified Demon Lord ninth rank expert, yet you’ve ended up like this—if you aren’t pitiful, who is?"

Xia Liu shook his head with a helpless smile. "I don’t need to take your life. In at most three months, your Inner Origin will fall into disorder and tear itself apart."

King Lan’s Inner Breath had already been crippled.

Whatever the cause, Xia Liu didn’t care to find out.

After battling him and further severely injuring his Cold Frost Demon Origin, King Lan had already lost his greatest chance.

Originally, he could have extended his life for many years.

Now, even living another year was wishful thinking.

"Demon Lord ninth rank expert! And you brat dare look down on me!"

King Lan wanted to circulate Energy to blast Xia Liu to death.

But just as he raised his Demon Essence, another mouthful of blood sprayed out.

The situation inside his body grew even worse.

Helpless, he could only adjust his Inner Origin, ensuring he wouldn’t Succumb to Evil and have his Inner Origin collapse.

"Forget your current state—even at your Peak, killing me would still be impossible!"

Xia Liu released his Dual Nascent Souls, then Sealed the Daoist Infant.

This was his greatest trump card; until it was absolutely necessary, he could not let others know.

King Lan was already half dead.

Since he hadn’t pried into Xia Liu’s secret, Xia Liu would just let him extinguish on his own.

That way, he wouldn’t feel too guilty.

Personally blasting apart Lan Lianxue’s father’s life was something Xia Liu truly couldn’t bring himself to do.

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

Watching Xia Liu leave with disdain, King Lan wished he could smash the heavens and earth.

But he was powerless, incapable!

"Is the Azure Blue Palace, the Lan Family, and the Western Region to be simply handed over like this?"

"Am I to just stand by and watch the people of the Western Region become someone else’s slaves..."

King Lan burned with hatred!

If his Demon Body had not been destroyed and he’d remained at Peak state, there would not be such a huge mess now!

"Damn Yao Yue!"

Thinking of the one who had led him into his current predicament, King Lan’s hatred was boundless.

But he could feel that if he couldn’t resolve the problems within his body within a month,

he would indeed die on the spot just as Xia Liu had said!

...

After leaving the mountaintop, Xia Liu returned to the Azure Blue Palace.

Right now he was still the Azure Blue Palace’s son-in-law in everyone’s eyes.

Wherever he went, he received everyone’s respect.

After all, he was also a Demon Lord expert!

"Captain, what did my father say to you? You were gone so long?"

Fearing her father might do something against Xia Liu, Lan Lianxue hurriedly asked.

"Don’t worry, your father just didn’t trust me and ran a few tests."

"Ah? Then what did Captain say?"

"No problem. I’ve passed the trial for now. We’ll just wait for a chance in the future to consummate our marriage..."

...

"Haha, just kidding. I’ve temporarily helped you break free from the marriage bond. In the future, once your Cultivation is accomplished, you can decide anything for yourself."

Seeing Lan Lianxue’s blush, Xia Liu immediately explained.

"Oh, oh, I understand. I’ll definitely remember Captain’s words!"

To be honest, there was an instant when Lan Lianxue truly pictured the scene of marrying Xia Liu.

But Xia Liu explained too quickly, shattering her little dream.

"Xia Liu, actually I wanted to say, three days from now is your life-and-death duel with Heaven-Slaying. What are you planning?"

Yi Fei had been silent this whole time because she’d been worried about this matter...
