Chapter 177 Kidnapping the City Lord's Son
Upon seeing this, Gao Huohuo immediately feigned extreme fear and an inability to escape.
He shifted his body to the side, pretending to be hit by the force of the punch, and a trickle of blood instantly spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the ground.
After falling to the ground, Gao Huohuo struggled to get up by supporting himself with his hands.
Her hair was disheveled and scattered across her face, but her eyes revealed a sense of resentment.
She shakily raised the sword in her hand, the tip pointing at the demonic cultivator.
Her voice was weak yet carried a hint of stubbornness: "He is actually... so powerful!"
"Sixth Senior Sister, you must leave quickly! I... I really can't hold him off for much longer!"
The demonic cultivators in the stands, seeing this scene, thought the outcome was already decided.
They all stood up excitedly, clapping and cheering.
"Well done! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
"Quickly, kill that female cultivator in front of you! It's her! She just made a fool of us demons and caused us to lose face!"
The entire stands were instantly enveloped in a frenzy and cruel emotion.
The shouts and maniacal laughter of the demonic cultivators mingled together, creating a deafening roar.
The five Nascent Soul demon cultivators on the field witnessed the Demon Cultivator Prince about to kill Gao Huohuo and felt that victory was in sight.
With the day of regaining their freedom fast approaching, everyone was filled with fighting spirit, and their eyes shone with fervent enthusiasm.
While they were frantically attacking Zhong Hanshang and the others, they were also fantasizing about the wonderful life they would have after regaining their freedom.
However, no one expected that a sudden change would occur.
The arrogant and domineering young master of the demonic cultivator, who had been vowing to tear Gao Huohuo to pieces, was subdued by Gao Huohuo in the blink of an eye.
Gao Huohuo moved like lightning, before the Demon Cultivator Young Master could react.
He had already circled behind him, his sharp longsword firmly resting against his neck.
At the same time, a puppet talisman was suddenly stuck to the back of the demonic cultivator.
In an instant, the demonic cultivator felt a strange power surge into his body, and he instantly lost control of his body.
The demonic cultivator, who was suddenly captured, turned ashen-faced with fright.
His legs trembled incessantly, and he could barely stand.
His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something.
But it felt like something was blocking his throat, and he could only make some indistinct sobs, his face full of terror and despair.
Just then, Zhong Hanshang, Chu Lingchuan, Mu Hanxing, and the others successfully dealt with the remaining five Nascent Soul demonic cultivators.
They flashed and quickly returned to Gao Huohuo's side.
The group stood back to back, watching their surroundings warily.
The demonic cultivators in the stands then realized as if they had been tricked by these human cultivators from the very beginning.
Their eyes widened in disbelief, a mixture of anger and regret swirling in their hearts.
The arena manager was filled with remorse, constantly blaming himself:
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have fought to the death to stop the city lord's son from dying!
He knew all too well that the hatred between humans and demons was irreconcilable. Now that the city lord's son had fallen into the hands of these humans, what chance did he have of surviving?
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
It turned out to be a demonic cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, whose body exuded a powerful and terrifying aura.
The Void Refining Demon Cultivator stared coldly at Gao Huohuo and the others, and said in a deep voice:
"Release my young master, and we can talk this over."
Gao Huohuo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and he said:
"How could I let such a good hostage go so easily?"
The Void Refining Demon Cultivator frowned, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Tell me, what do you want? We will satisfy you as long as it is within the power of our city's main force."
Gao Huohuo shook her head slightly and said calmly:
"Not for now, we just need your esteemed son to give us a ride."
However, if they discover you've followed us, or resort to any other means, your young master will never see us again.
The Void Refining Demon Cultivator remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, before waving his hand helplessly.
He said to the surrounding demonic cultivators, "Let them go!"
Now that a Void Refinement Realm expert had spoken, how could the other demonic cultivators dare to obstruct them?
Gao Huohuo and his six companions escorted the city lord's son out of the town without any hindrance.
Gao Huohuo thought to himself:
It turns out that this Void Refining Demon Cultivator had been hiding in the shadows all along to protect this son of a high-ranking official.
Why didn't you say so earlier! If she had known from the beginning, she would have found a way to bring this demonic cultivator down from his throne long ago.
There's no need to waste so much energy dealing with those lackeys.
The six arrived outside the town, immediately summoned their flying swords, and took to the air.
Throughout the journey, Gao Huohuo kept his longsword pressed tightly against the back of the city lord's son to prevent him from making any unusual moves.
The Void Refinement Demon Cultivator followed at a distance, but dared not make any rash moves.
After flying for a while, Gao Huohuo secretly checked the effectiveness of the puppet talisman to make sure it could last for a while longer.
So she decisively pushed the city lord's son off the flying sword.
The moment the city lord's son fell, the six quickly took out the speed-up talismans they had prepared beforehand and attached them to the flying sword.
In an instant, the flying sword shone brightly and flew into the distance like a bolt of lightning, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that his young master had been put down, the Refining Void Demon Cultivator hurriedly stepped forward to catch him.
He asked with concern, "Young master, are you injured?"
The city lord's son was still shaken, and his face remained extremely pale.
He said, trembling, "Let's go back quickly, I want to go back."
The Void Refining Demon Cultivator assumed the city lord's son wanted him to pursue Gao Huohuo and the others, so he patted his chest and said:
"Young master, rest assured, I will bring those people back to you right away and avenge you!"
The city lord's son suddenly roared:
"I said I'm going back, so take me back now!"
Seeing this, the Void Refining Demon Cultivator dared not say anything more.
Thinking he was still quite frightened by what had just happened, they could only take him and fly towards the demon's territory.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to reach the demon territory...
The city lord's son, who had been listless and seemingly lost his soul, suddenly "came back to life" as if injected with a powerful medicine.
His eyes were wide open, burning with rage, and the veins on his neck bulged as he suddenly turned around.
He roared angrily at the Void Refinement cultivator beside him:
"Chase them! I will tear those foolish humans to pieces to vent my hatred!"
The sound was sharp and fierce, as if it could shatter the air itself.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator at the Void Refinement stage was taken aback, his face filled with astonishment and confusion.
Just now, the young master was urgently requesting a quick return and explicitly forbidding him from pursuing the human race.
How could your attitude have changed so drastically in the blink of an eye?
But now, those human cultivators have long since vanished without a trace.
However, seeing the young master's face contorted with rage, how could the cultivators at the Void Refinement stage dare to disobey?
Left with no other choice, he could only suppress his frustration and resentment, and hurriedly return to the place where the incident had occurred with the city lord's son.
When they arrived, they found the empty field completely silent, with not a single human in sight.
All around them was the howling wind, as if mercilessly mocking their futile efforts.
The city lord's son stood there, furious, cursing incessantly.
Meanwhile, the cultivator at the Void Refinement stage sighed inwardly, filled with helplessness.
