323 Role Reversal
“Haha, Blood-Robed old ghost, not bad.”
Emperor Qian laughed loudly. Terrifying killing power gathered on the Spear in his hand, causing the sun and moon to change color. The power of heaven and earth boiled and the Void distorted continuously.
“Sky Demon Saint, so what if you escaped? Today will be your death day.”
Amidst his laughter, Emperor Qian’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He was prepared to personally get rid of this demon. At that time, he would definitely leave his legacy in history.
Heaven and earth shook. The morale of the Great Qian army soared as they prepared to kill the demon.
No one from Sky Demon Cult could laugh anymore, as their expressions froze.
Who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly? They had not been in the limelight for long, but they had already been almost defeated.
“Demon Saint, the situation is not good. We have to leave!”
Demon Venerable Yu Hua said in a deep voice. The Sky Demon Saint had just escaped and was not in a good state. He did not plan to stay long to begin with, and now that he had suffered a huge loss, he could not stay any longer.
“Blood-Robed old ghost, right? I’ll remember you!”
The Sky Demon Saint covered his wound and glared at Song Shi with hatred. “I will definitely annihilate your entire clan, eat your flesh, and eat your soul!”
“Aiya, I’m so scared.”
Song Shi patted his chest and said slyly, “You should use your other hand to cover the bloody hole on your right so that it’s symmetrical.”
The Sky Demon Saint’s hair instantly stood on end. He had never suffered such humiliation before. If not for the fact that his condition was really too terrible, he really wanted to immediately crush this despicable human.
Boom!
In the sky, a blood-colored Spear had finished condensing and was charging at him with a rumbling sound.
The Sky Demon Saint’s expression changed slightly. Just now, he had been able to break through the joint attack. Now, facing this even more powerful attack, he was already powerless.
“Let’s go.”
He tore through the Void and left without caring about anyone.
Demon Venerable Yu Hua followed closely behind. As for the others, they could only rely on their own abilities.
Boom!
The blood-colored Spear was huge. When it struck the spot where the two of them were, it shattered the space. The ground was like paper. After being stabbed, soil spread in all directions like a tsunami.
Song Shi retreated ten thousand feet with a single step to avoid the aftershock. He frowned as he looked at the attack.
“It’s stronger than the black dragon they condensed just now. I guess they still has some trump cards.”
The chaotic storm continued to spread. In the distance, some buildings that were originally shattered were directly reduced to dust. The Illuminate swept out, and a radius of ten thousand feet was razed to the ground!
From the sky, one could see that the city wall beside the Heavenly Prison had already disappeared, and a considerable portion of the Imperial City had been destroyed.
In the center of the energy storm, more cracks appeared in the cracked space after being hit. However, in the depths of the pitch-black Void, there were no longer two demons.
He did not give chase. Not to mention the Sky Demon Cult’s powerhouses, he had just used Ragnarok to escape. If he chased after him, he would not be able to kill the Sky Demon Saint and would instead be trapped.
After the surrounding one hundred thousand soldiers released their power in this round of attacks, many people collapsed and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Clearly, it was difficult for them to launch a third attack in a short period of time.
“Let’s go!”
“It’s over. We have to wait for the Demon Saint to recover.”
The people of Sky Demon Cult were flustered and used all sorts of methods to escape, scattering like birds and beasts.
They were all in charge of their own escape and did not have any rules to follow. It looked rather chaotic.
In fact, most of the people from the Demonic Sect were cold-hearted. They would not help each other to escape. Instead, they would compete to see who could escape faster.
Those who were slow would naturally be at a disadvantage. No one would pity them even if they died.
Fortunately, the army of cultivators from Great Qian did not have much strength to chase after the Sky Demon Cult cultivators. It was difficult to effectively stop these people from leaving.
Swoosh!
A beam of light passed through and Emperor Qian landed in the center of the storm. His expression was not good.
He stared at the spatial rift. “He ran away, dammit!”
“He can easily tear open space and leave. You want to kill him with your stupid attack?”
Song Shi pursed his lips. If his Divine Teleportation Footwork is considered to be only borrowing the power of space, then what Sky Demon Saint was doing would be to directly use the power of space. Unless he had similar means, there was no way he could catch up.
At the very least, the powerful but inflexible attack just now was useless. It only destroyed more buildings.
He glanced at the broken ground and said, “You should be in charge of washing the ground.”
Emperor Qian looked at Song Shi coldly. “Why are you here?”
He did not have the time to understand the situation and did not know that Song Shi was related to the Demon Saint’s escape.
“You captured my maid. If I don’t come over, wouldn’t I be letting down your arrangements?”
Song Shi sneered. He really did not feel much guilt for releasing the Sky Demon Saint this time. If not for the schemes of the people from Great Qian, this would not have happened.
At the very least, he would not feel guilty towards the Qian royal family. At most, they would feel embarrassed that they implicated the innocent.
Emperor Qian frowned and stared at Song Shi fearfully.
When he thought about how this person was unscathed from Demon Venerable Yu Hua’s attack and could even sneak attack the Sky Demon Saint, he could no longer be as domineering as before.
This person’s strength was probably not weaker than his and he had never been able to kill him. If he had a choice, he did not want to be enemies with him.
Just as he was about to change his words, a Spirit Guard flew over and reported, “Your Majesty, he was the one who helped Sky Demon Cult save Demon Saint.”
“What!”
Emperor Qian’s expression was ugly. “So you’re the culprit?”
“It wasn’t me. If I had saved him, would I have fought him? Injured him badly? Almost gave you a chance to finish him off?”
Song Shi directly denied it. He did not want to take the blame, so it was better to get rid of it.
“Nonsense. In the Heavenly Prison, you said that you would help Thousand Faces infiltrate the last level of the Heavenly Prison.”
The Spirit Guard retorted.
“I didn’t say that I’m only here to save my maid. Your internal management isn’t strict enough and you’re blaming me for letting Sky Demon Cult infiltrate?”
Song Shi sneered, refusing to admit it at all. He questioned the others, “Let me ask you, if I really helped the Sky Demon Saint escape, would I have nearly killed him?”
The surrounding people nodded and shook their heads. They were originally prepared to be angry that this Blood-Robed old ghost was actually an accomplice of the Sky Demon Cult, but now, they felt that it didn’t seem like it.
After all, they had indeed seen the Sky Demon Saint almost fight to the death with their own eyes.
Especially the person that Song Shi had saved from the Sky Demon Saint’s mouth, he was speaking up for him.
“Senior Blood Robes couldn’t have saved the demon then want to kill him. Isn’t that stupid?”
“In this matter, the Blood-Robed old ghost is definitely a good person.”
“That’s right. If it wasn’t for him, many of us would have been eaten by that Demon Saint.”
The Spirit Guard was infuriated when he heard that. How did this fellow reverse his role so fast?
“Enough, this is a misunderstanding. He’s here to save the maidservant and just happened to bump into Sky Demon Cult rescuing that Demon Saint.”
Princess Wu Xi walked over. “Not only that, he even helped us. If not for him severely injuring the Sky Demon Saint, that demon would most likely still be behaving atrociously here.”
“Princess, you?” The Spirit Guard’s expression changed. He did not expect Princess Wuxi to speak up for him.
Emperor Qian waved his hand and looked deeply at Song Shi. “You guys can leave first. This matter will end here. Since you have made a move at such a critical moment, Great Qian has announced that we will no longer be enemies with you.”
Song Shi looked satisfied and praised, “As expected of the ruler of a country. You’re still quite bold. Wuxi, you’re even better.”
Song Shi could fight the Qian, but he didn’t want to be a traitor to the entire human race. So he had to distort the truth and he definitely had the right to do so.
