Chapter 211 Mixed-Blood Descendants
Yang Xining looked around. There was nowhere to hide in the narrow crevice. The barrier trapped her tightly.
Satan's voice rang out in her mind, with an unprecedented seriousness: [Focus, little princess, we can't just sit here and wait for death.]
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and focused all her attention on her palms.
The power of shadow surged within his body, as if struggling against the restraints of the outside world.
Suddenly, an unprecedented power erupted from her body, and cracks appeared in the barrier under the impact of the powerful shadow energy.
"What?!" Negal's face changed. He obviously didn't expect that a human being would have such potential.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, Yang Xining used all her strength and slashed the crack in the barrier with a shadow blade. The crack instantly expanded and turned into a gap large enough for her to pass through.
She rushed out without hesitation, running wildly along the winding cracks in the rock wall.
The narrow passage limited the number of pursuers, but she could hear Negal's angry roars getting closer.
[Turn left!] Satan guided, [There is an underground water vein ahead!]
Sure enough, an underground cave appeared at the end of the crevice, with a pool of dark water in the center.
Yang Xining jumped in without hesitation, and the cold lake water instantly swallowed her.
Underwater visibility is extremely low, with only some luminous water plants providing weak light sources.
She swam desperately, her lungs burning from lack of oxygen.
Suddenly, a gigantic aquatic monster emerged from the darkness—it looked like a crocodile but had eight legs, and its gaping mouth was filled with sharp teeth.
[Don't move!] Satan urgently took over control of her body.
The monster swam closer, but did not attack. Instead, it sniffed her with its cold nose, and then... gave way.
[It recognizes the demon bloodline in you.] Satan explained, [Keep swimming, there is an exit ahead.]
When Yang Xining finally surfaced, he found himself in a half-submerged cave.
She climbed exhausted onto the shore and found it filled with ancient chests and weapons.
"This is..."
[Ancient battlefield ruins.] Satan said, [It is safe for now.]
Yang Xining slumped on the ground, examining his changes—his devil horns had faded, but his nails were still permanently black.
Worse still, she could sense Satan's presence becoming more...solid than ever.
"You're getting deeper inside me, aren't you?" she demanded.
Satan did not deny: "Every time I use my power, our connection grows stronger. It is inevitable."
Faint searching sounds were heard outside the cave, but it seemed that the pursuers could not find this hidden entrance for a while.
With the help of the light from the fluorescent mushrooms in the cave, Yang Xining discovered some ancient murals engraved on the wall - depicting a war between two similar-looking demon kings.
"This is...?"
[The struggle for the throne over three hundred years ago.] Satan confirmed, "It is written here that the Great Demon King Mephisto was originally the child of a human and a demon, but his half-brother usurped the position of Great Demon King that was rightfully his. Over three hundred years ago, Mephisto rebelled, determined to reclaim his throne. In a fierce battle, armed with a demon-slaying sword, he faced the siege of the twelve Great Demon Gods and the 34 Pillar Divisions, numbering nearly four hundred high-ranking demons, yet still emerged victorious."
Yang Xining was fascinated by what he heard, and suddenly realized something: "Wait...you said Mephisto was originally a hybrid of human and demon?"
She stood up suddenly and looked closely at the mottled murals.
In the dim light of the fluorescent mushrooms, she clearly saw that the horns on the forehead of the young demon king in the picture were obviously shorter than those of an orthodox demon, which was a characteristic of a half-blood.
Satan laughed deep in her mind: "Finally found out? Mephisto, like you, is an unrecognized half-blood descendant."
Yang Xining's fingers gently stroked the lonely figure on the mural - the young Mephisto stood on a sea of corpses and blood, with the heads of the twelve demon gods under his feet.
[He spent three hundred years proving that blood isn't everything.] Satan's voice held a strange resonance, [And now... history has given you the same opportunity.]
Suddenly, there was a loud noise of rock collapse outside the cave, and the whole cave shook.
Yang Xining turned around alertly and saw unnatural ripples on the water.
[They found the entrance.] Satan calmly judged, [Negal used tracking magic.]
Yang Xining quickly glanced around and found a narrow passage at the end of the mural that was almost completely covered by vines: "There!"
Just as she rushed towards the passage, a gray shadow suddenly emerged from the water!
Negal stood in front of her, soaking wet, his gray hair stuck to his pale face, and his red eyes burned with flames of anger.
"Tired from running, little one?" He shook his hair gracefully, sending water droplets flying. "I know every secret passage in Shadow Castle like the back of my hand."
Yang Xining subconsciously stepped back, his back hitting the cold stone wall.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of footsteps outside the cave.
The next second, Negal's demon guards surrounded her.
The sexy grey-haired demon gracefully toyed with a black crystal ring, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"The demon world is not a place for human tourism."
Yang Xining's fingertips trembled slightly, and the power of Satan in his body was almost gone due to continuous battles.
"Little princess, now is not the time to fight hard." Satan whispered in her mind.
"I surrender." Yang Xining suddenly spoke, his voice deliberately trembling, "but I have a deal to discuss with you."
Negar raised an eyebrow, his gray hair fluttering in the bloody wind of the demon world. He suddenly waved his hand, and a thick magic chain bound Yang Xining tightly. He looked down at him and said, "A prisoner is qualified to negotiate a deal?"
Yang Xining bit his cracked lips lightly: "The human woman that Sailie asked you to find is me!"
Negar raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"
Yang Xining said straight to the point: "I can help you kill Sai Lie, the thorn in your side!"
Negal's fingertips suddenly stopped on the black crystal ring, and his gray hair froze for a moment in the bloody wind of the demon world.
"Interesting." His voice suddenly dropped to a freezing point, and a hint of dangerous interest flashed in his red eyes. "Do you know what you're talking about? The crime of regicide is punishable by a thousand years of burning heart."
Yang Xining licked her cracked lips, tasting blood. She deliberately made the magic chain clink with a crisp sound. "Sele is merely the adopted son of your demon king, and I—" She raised her chin, revealing the faint dark lines on her neck. "I have the blood of your great demon king, Mephisto, flowing in my veins."
