Chapter 626: Star Demon Tower (III)
"I don't want to know!" Long Haochen suddenly shouted, moving his sword rhythmically. His left feet tapped the ground, and rushed forward like an immense white dragon, sweeping the Sword of Creation and Life at the Star Demon God.
After falling to this trap and hearing the explanation of the Star Demon God Vassago, he understood that they would hardly escape safely on this day. But even if there was only a slight opportunity, he had to make the Star Demon God share the same fate.
At the same time that Long Haochen burst forward, all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope broke out at the same time with their most powerful attack, focusing everything on the Star Demon God Vassago.
Facing their sudden offense, Vassago didn't show the slightest reaction, just shaking his head with a smile on his face, "Youngsters, don't you understand?"
As he spoke, an indescribable feeling of terrible might spread out from all directions, making them feel totally empty of strength, an earth shaking oppressive might.
All the offensive abilities and spiritual energy were crushed instantly, and that instant, Long Haochen was suppressed instantly in midair. In a sonorous clash, the Sword of Creation and Life in his hand pulsed violently in an incandescent radiance which rolled up backwards, trying to protect his body. But alongside his sword, he also was violently smashed to the ground.
Two figures silently appeared on the Star Demon Vassago's two sides.
The person on the right, measuring about two meters, was clad in a purplish golden traditional robe. His long hair draped with a headband and his thin eyebrows gave off a very feminine feeling. His pair of purple eyes was faintly dispersing dark golden light, and in the midst of his forehead, a quarter of moon shaped design was visible. That was the Star Demon God Agares.
The person on the right, slowly retracting his right hand, didn't have such imposing looks. Roughly measuring 1.9 meters, his waterfall-looking black hair floated on his back and formed a black wheel's shape. On his gorgeous black traditional robe were faintly glinting purple symbols. His skin looked close to pale, and his blue eyes seemed reminiscent of the cosmos' starlight.
His looks were not as good as the Moon Demon God Agares, and his air of mystery was below the Star Demon God Vassago. But just by floating there, he gave off a feeling of ultimate supremacy, making both Agares and Vassago only look like minor characters in contrast.
Right, that's the ruler of the present age, chief of the Defying Devil Dragons and number one demon god, Demon God Emperor Fengxiu.
The instant he appeared, Vassago naturally straightened his posture, and placed himself alongside Agares' behind Fengxiu.
The numbers one, two, and three top demon gods were gathered in front of all the members of Bright Glimmer of Hope.
"That's him… His aura! He actually came personally! It's over, Haochen's group is done for! Hahahaha, wasn't that what I wanted to see? But was that really what I wanted to see? "
Tears were dropping without control on the grey haired person's face, whose body shook violently, but without any longer, disappeared instantly in the air in a flash of light.
All Long Haochen and every single one of his comrades had totally grim faces. The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu actually showed up here; the instant of his appearance, Long Haochen came to understand that everything Vassago had just said was truth, and not an attempt to stall for time.
Before Vassago meticulously described the process of his Great Prophecy, Long Haochen had the eventual hope that it was only Vassago who had detected their arrival, and intentionally kept guard in front of his demon god pillar, and that this barrier was originally from the Star Demon Pagoda.
But he came to realize that his last hope was just an illusion. This was truly the land of burial the Demon God Emperor had arranged for them.
Turning back, Long Haochen stooped toward his comrades, his eyes filled with countless emotions.
"Boss, I have no regrets. The day I became a Demon Hunter, I was resolved for that day." Sima Xian laughed heartily, vigorously waving the Gigantic Ball of Light in his hand.
"Boss, we couldn't be born at the same time, but we will die together. This lifetime was worth it." Han Yu howled with deep red eyes.
Lin Xin laughed gently, "Boss, in our next life, can we become brothers and keep teaming up together? I need you to keep leading us, even if it has to go like that time I made you give that promise so shamelessly."
Wang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, "Boss, from the time the Soul Sharing Chains have linked us for the first time, we have been one. This operation was a shared decision of all of us. Even in death, we have already killed an uncountable number of demons.
"This ends just a few days early."
Zhang Fangfang on the side held Wang Yuanyuan's slim and flexible waist, "Yuanyuan, I only want to hold you now. Dying by your side is my honor. In the other world, would you be willing to marry me?"
Chen Ying'er laughed mockingly, "Brother Fangfang, you are actually choosing to propose in here. What an original approach! If I knew earlier, I would have brought Wenzhao a bit earlier. "Ayy, what a shame! Boss, how about making me a mistress in the otherworld. You're far better than that guy Yang Wenzhao."
Only Cai'er remained silent, looking foolishly at Long Haochen. Her eyes were rippling lightly, and her body was lightly shaking.
Long Haochen stepped forward and softly held Cai'er, sweeping his gaze past the whole group.
"Making apologies would have no meaning now. As your captain, what I can do last is to be the first one to die. No one is allowed to fight over this, it's an order. Fighting alongside you all was the greatest honor of my life!"
After saying this, Long Haochen let go of Cai'er and drew a last step back, putting force into his right fist, he thumped on his chest behind the Golden Foundation Armor which made a deafening noise. Even the solid Golden Foundation Armor of epic tier had a small dent form.
Amidst loud sounds, all members from Bright Glimmer of Hope made a salute of response to Long Haochen.
Abruptly turning back, he faced the three demon gods in the air. Taking a deep breath, he felt completely serene. His eyes flickered coldly, nodding to the Demon God Emperor, "Thank you."
These thanks were addressed for the time for his comrades and him to bid farewell, because during their talks, the three greatest demon gods were only watching calmly, showing no intention of moving.
"This isn't our first time meeting, right?" Fengxiu looked at Long Haochen with traces of sadness in his eyes.
Long Haochen was faintly startled, "You know about me?" He understood that there was no escape today, but his posture became even straighter. He was a knight, and no matter the time, a knight's spirit can never die out.
The Demon God Emperor replied calmly, "The first time I have met you was in the Exorcist Mountain Pass. At that time, I had gotten from Allocer and the other two that Austin Griffin had very possibly appeared and I left to investigate personally. At that time, I came to sense your existence in the Exorcist Mountain Pass."
Long Haochen was astonished, "At that time Your Majesty became aware of me among such a crowd?" At that time he was still very weak, and his constitution as Scion of Light was still very far from awakening as a god's chosen one. With so many powerhouses there, how could the Demon God Emperor take notice of him.
Fengxiu showed a tranquill smile, "That's because you are different from others. Unfortunately at that time, Austin Griffin concealed his aura in you, which is why I couldn't discover him. Otherwise you wouldn't need to die: he'd be the only one to die."
Long Haochen showed a stubborn stance, "Killing him is no different from killing me."
Fengxiu looked at Long Haochen, "So similar! I like your character; compared to you, Ah'Bao is so much more stubborn while lacking charisma. What a shame, such a shame! …" Reaching this point, his sad look deepened.
"The second time meeting you should have been in the Moon Demon Palace. You youngsters, what a thing! You actually made such a mess in Agares' Moon Demon Palace, I was almost about to make a move back then. But for the sake of catching you all in this inescapable trap, we just looked on helplessly at your release of a forbidden spell devastating the Moon Demon Palace. You can stand proud on this fact alone."
Long Haochen showed a calm look. He did not understand why the Demon God Emperor did not move at all until now, and was telling him all that. Was that the phenomenon of the cat rejoicing after catching the mouse?
As if he did not perceive the indignation in Long Haochen's eyes, the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu continued, "At that time, you were on Yue Ye's side, so actually, even without Vassago's Great Prophecy, I knew about your close relationship with her. But, be at ease, I already gave Agares the promise to not take it out on her. After all, she's the most intelligent talent in the whole Moon Demon Clan, she just took the wrong road. For her to get attracted by you is nothing I find unexpected."
The fury in Long Haochen's eyes disappeared. He understood clearly that with the Demon God Emperor's status, he would surely keep any promise he makes. Since he said he wouldn't punish Yue Ye, she was naturally going to be safe. This made him feel quite a bit better, after all Yue Ye was also a victim, he himself being the very cause.
"After that time, I came to hear more information regarding you many more times. Our third encounter should be in the Illusory Palace, where I tore space to rescue Ah'Bao's group. Actually, I was astonished at that time. Ah'Bao's strength was not so great at that time, but he should not have been someone you could resist against."
