CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 71: MASTER, I’M SO TIRED, I WANT A HUG~

The bloodstorm swept across the battlefield, and Vorn’s pupils violently contracted.

The scent of death enveloped his entire body once again!

"Blood Escape!"

Without hesitation, he activated his survival skill, his figure instantly turning into a blood mist.

But this time...

How could they let him run away again?!

"Ruoxue!"

Shen Ruoxue instantly understood.

As space rippled, their figures had already blocked the path of the blood mist.

Vorn’s Blood Escape was forced to halt, and his reformed figure stumbled in mid-air.

He looked desperately at the yet-to-disperse spatial ripples and finally realized...

Today, there’s no way to escape!

This human has pushed him to the brink!

Vera slowly raised her hand, and destructive energy gathered at her fingertips once more.

Witnessing this scene, Vorn steeled his heart.

Suddenly.

His knees collapsed onto the ground, the hard surface shattered with web-like cracks.

"Please! My Lord, spare me!"

Once, he was a brave and fearless warrior of the Demon Race, but as time passed...

Seventy years later, resurrected once more, now he...

Fears death!

As long as he could survive, he was willing to give up everything.

However.

Gu Xing looked down indifferently at the kneeling demon, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

What he had his sights set on was the reward for slaying him!

Surrender?

Not allowed!

"Vera!"

"Natural Lament! Azure Sky Thunderfall!"

The world suddenly changed colors!

Under six thousand points of Spiritual Power fully unleashed, the entire Secret Realm began to tremble fiercely.

The cloud layer was torn apart by the violent Thunder Element, and a Thunder Dragon formed purely of thunder emerged from the vortex, each scale flashing with a destructive blue light.

Seeing this, Vorn’s body trembled continuously with fear.

Divine Retribution!

The term suddenly echoed in his mind.

Though he was at the Demon God Level, the power Vera displayed at this moment had exceeded his comprehension!

Yet after fear comes madness!

He is a Demon God!

How could he die here?!

He still wants to return to the Demon Race and enjoy the reverence of the Low Tier demons!

He still has a beautiful future!

"Demon God Body·Absolute Defense!"

Dark Demonic Qi continuously flowed toward him.

In front of his body, a giant Bone Shield gradually formed, with countless wailing spirits floating on its surface.

However.

"Boom!!!"

The moment the Thunder Dragon dove down, the Bone Shield, which claimed to be Absolute Defense, shattered like paper.

The last thing Vorn saw was the all-consuming light of thunder...

The Thunder Dragon, its momentum unabated, crashed heavily to the ground, transforming into countless thunder snakes rampaging wildly.

Wherever they went, the demons were reduced to ashes.

This area, under the baptism of lightning, briefly transformed into a pure white thundering prison!

Wang Teng cowered behind a Rock Wall, his pupils contracting in terror.

Gu Xing, this madman

He stared intensely at the figure in the distance illuminated by the light of thunder, his knuckles turning white from gripping too tightly.

Not only did he kill a Demon God, but he’s also planning to cleanse the entire Secret Realm of demons?!

So how can my Guardian Beast level up?!

Jealousy and anger surged in his chest, yet he dared not make a sound.

Silver thunder spread like a tide, consuming all demons in its path.

No, I must retreat first!

Swearing angrily through gritted teeth, he decided to exit the Secret Realm.

However.

"Swish!"

A green vine wrapped around his ankle like a venomous snake and instantly tightened!

Wang Teng froze, the chill rushing from his back straight to his head.

It’s that Guardian Beast!

He abruptly turned around, meeting Vera’s icy gaze from afar.

She noticed me long ago?!

Fear washed over his reason like a tide, he struggled madly, but the vine only tightened further.

Silver thunder had reached his feet, the blinding electric light reflecting his twisted visage.

"No——!!"

As the lightning engulfed him, Wang Teng’s eyes were filled only with endless regret and despair.

Had I known...I shouldn’t have provoked this monster...

In the next moment, his figure was completely annihilated by the light of thunder, not even leaving ashes.

Afterward, the thunder light dissipated, the world returned to silence.

Gu Xing’s gaze fell on where Vorn vanished.

A dark Divine Pattern hovered in mid-air, emanating a mysterious ripple.

With a light gesture, the Divine Pattern fell into his palm like a swimming fish.

This thing... can increase Contract eligibility?

His finger rubbed the rough pattern as Gu Xing frowned slightly.

Suddenly, a faint tremor came from his palm.

The black Divine Pattern seemed to sense something and slowly began to writhe, climbing up along his fingertips like a living creature.

"Hmm?"

Just as Gu Xing wanted to react, the Divine Pattern suddenly accelerated, transforming into a dark stream, and instantly merged into his brow!

"Swish——"

His brow cooled slightly, as if a drop of icy water seeped into his mind.

Gu Xing’s vision went dark, his consciousness was instantly pulled into the Beast Taming Space.

In the darkness, the Divine Pattern swam like a fish, finally hovering above the Spring of Life, rotating slowly.

An intricate piece of information flowed into his mind:

[Demon God Pattern: Allows contracting an additional Guardian Beast]

In the Beast Taming Space, Liu Li circled around the newly appeared black Divine Pattern curiously.

She reached out with her slender finger, cautiously poking the pattern.

Cool...not dangerous...

Having confirmed, she transmitted information to Gu Xing through the Spiritual Link:

"Master, it seems that besides letting you contract an additional Guardian Beast, there are no other functions..."

Midway through her sentence, Liu Li suddenly froze.

Her amber eyes blinked, her small face gradually falling.

Contract an additional Guardian Beast?

Doesn’t that mean...

Her status would decrease again?

Meanwhile, Gu Xing’s consciousness returned to reality.

With the Contract eligibility acquired, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he didn’t notice Vera’s eyes covertly watching him from behind, her elf ears twitching uneasily.

After confirming that the master hadn’t noticed the previous small incident, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she helped the master eliminate a hidden threat, but...

A Guardian Beast acting against humans is ultimately unreasonable.

After calming down, Vera suddenly jumped into Gu Xing’s arms, rubbing against his chest like a spoiled cat:

"Master, so tired, want to cuddle~"

Gu Xing: "..."

....

Outside the Secret Realm.

Long Zhenguo stood motionlessly at the exit like a statue.

He stood with hands behind his back, a faint flow of Domain Power swirling between his fingers.

As soon as Shen Ruoxue and Gu Xing appeared, the Secret Realm would instantly be obliterated by him.

Time passed by slowly, and the crowd started to become restless.

"Could it be...they died inside?"

"He was so arrogant, serves him right if he’s dead, thinking he could face Demon God Level demons alone!"

"But it’s one thing if he sent himself to death, he even took Shen Ruoxue along!"

Before the words finished, Long Zhenguo’s gaze swept like lightning.

The intangible pressure fell suddenly, causing several students to kneel instantly, cold sweat soaking their backs.

"Discussing your classmates is wrong and punishable!"

"I’m sorry, Principal Long!"

Their faces pale, they bowed heavily to the ground.

After they were punished, Long Zhenguo focused his gaze back on the Secret Realm.

Suddenly, the Secret Realm began to tremble intensely.

Long Zhenguo frowned slightly.

What’s going on?

For the Secret Realm to tremble, it indicates that someone inside has unleashed at least an Extraordinary Level battle.

Though confident in Gu Xing, this is indeed the first confrontation between humans and Demon Gods...

No one can say for certain if Gu Xing will be victorious.

However.

As he worried, space rippled, and two figures appeared!

...
