Chapter 256 The Demon King Appears!
The cage on the high platform slowly descended, making Su Tongyao and Xiaobai anxious. Ye Ru looked at the two high platforms and took a deep breath.
Right now, he was all alone here and couldn't spare any attention. The gap between the two platforms made it impossible for him to go back and forth. If he saved Su Tongyao, Xiaobai would definitely die, and vice versa.
Moreover, this also involved a divisive tactic. No matter which one was saved, it would inevitably create a rift between the other, and the person involved would also be unable to escape the torment of their conscience.
One is her beloved, and the other is her best friend who once saved her life.
"How to do how to do……"
"But there's not much time left..."
Ye Ru forced himself to calm down, while the ghost scholar also sneered. This method was truly too vicious.
"That's it... As long as we find the mechanism and break it, the platform will stop, or..."
Suddenly, Ye Ru had a flash of inspiration. He looked at the connection of the chains, then pushed off with his foot and slammed it hard towards Su Tongyao.
"Ha ha……"
The Ghost Scholar watched Ye Ru rush towards Su Tongyao, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. As Ye Ru reached Su Tongyao's side, he glanced at Xiao Bai, a bright light flashing between his brows. He then wrote with a flourish:
"The moon of Qin shines on the pass of Han, the soldiers on the long march have not returned. If only the Flying General of Longcheng were here, the barbarian horses would not dare to cross the Yin Mountains."
As the four lines of poetry fell, Li Guang's phantom suddenly appeared, and he suddenly shot out an arrow. The powerful arrow, carrying the sound of wind breaking, shot fiercely towards the cage where Xiao Bai was.
boom!
The arrow struck the cage, its powerful force causing it to explode and blast a large hole.
"Little White, run out quickly!"
Xiao Bai seemed to be still in a daze when Ye Ru shouted, which brought him back to his senses. He then leaped up and transformed into a white shadow, rushing away fiercely.
"Go outside and find Scholar Su. Leave this to me!"
"be careful!"
Knowing he was just a burden, Xiaobai quickly ran away.
"Damn it, I never expected you to be so cunning!"
The man in black robes seemed to be enraged as well. He let out a fierce shout, tapped his foot, and unleashed his inner energy, blasting it fiercely towards Ye Ru.
Originally, he did this to tarnish Ye Ru's reputation, but now, the other party's methods have completely ruined it, which he simply cannot tolerate.
"Humph!"
Ye Rutian's sword flashed out, opening the cage with a single strike and carrying Su Tongyao out. Finally, he summoned Li Guang to shoot another arrow.
"never mind."
With his figure flying out, Ye Ru held Su Tongyao in his arms, comforted her softly, and then landed on the ground.
The arrow collided violently with the man in black robes, instantly erupting into a cloud of smoke.
"Let's see where you can run to today!"
After a puff of smoke cleared, a rather disheveled figure appeared. It was none other than the black-robed man from before. He stared at Ye Ru with a terribly gloomy expression. He never expected that he would actually be tricked by this young man in front of him today!
"You secretly used tricks, did you really think I was powerless to deal with you? Today, this will be your burial ground!"
Ye Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, and used his Three Absolutes Literary Heart Brush to write a swift poem, which finally turned into a series of afterimages and blasted towards the black-robed man.
"You devilish scholars, kill him!"
With a wave of his hand, the man in black robes conjured up four scholars who appeared from the shadows. As soon as they appeared, they attacked Ye Ru.
"Humph."
Ye Ru looked around, snorted coldly, and the next moment, he put away the Three Perfections Writing Brush, took out the Taihe Qin, and quickly began to pluck the strings. Powerful melodies transformed into a sound field, rapidly spreading outwards. Countless warriors descended from the sky, bombarding the four scholars and ghostly students.
As Ye Ru played the instrument, a giant cauldron filled with flames appeared between his brows.
"Golden inscription?"
The man in black robes also changed his expression, took a deep breath, took out a paintbrush, and began to paint on the paper.
His painting gestures were like phantoms, and in no time, a lifelike emerald dragon appeared.
"Today I'll show you my finishing touch technique!"
The man in black robes glanced at Ye Ru and sneered, then drew a heavy stroke on the dragon's eye.
As the former finished painting, a deep dragon roar resounded, followed by a giant dragon bursting out of the painting and flying into the sky, circling overhead, its eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Burning Cauldron, suppress him!"
Ye Ru pointed his palm, and the cauldron filled with flames immediately clashed with the giant dragon.
boom!
The two forces erupted, instantly turning the high platform into dust, and countless flames swept across, burning the palace to the ground.
"This place is not safe to stay for long; we don't know if there are still hidden ambush troops."
Smoke billowed and sparks flew. Ye Ru looked around, then picked up Su Tongyao and rushed outside.
As he rushed out of the inner hall of the demon palace, several beams of light from his talent attacked him fiercely, forcing him to hurriedly take Su Tongyao with him to dodge.
Then he suddenly flapped his wings and flew into the sky with Su Tongyao in his arms. The place was already a mess, with many cracks as thick as arms and spreading outwards like spider webs.
Meanwhile, Scholar Su and that old man Bian were still fighting there.
"Grand Scholar, Elder Sir, Lord Zhan, I have rescued the person, let's go!"
At this moment, Ye Ru shouted loudly, and the scholars, including Su Dashi, nodded and slapped one of them back. However, the ghost scholars here seemed to have gone berserk and began to attack recklessly.
"Damn Ye Ru! You think you can run away? No way!"
The man in black robes coldly stared at these people, then suddenly a jade pendant appeared in his hand, which he crushed with a sharp squeeze.
"This is……"
As Grand Scholar Su looked at the jade pendant, his expression changed drastically.
Based on his experience, he knew that this jade pendant was unique to the demon race and could be sensed by the demon race!
The jade pendant shattered, and a monstrous demonic aura instantly spread outwards. Immediately afterward, a throne suddenly appeared, and finally, a demon king clad in armor, exuding an aura of destruction with every move, slowly emerged from the throne.
"Welcome, King of Wheels!"
Upon seeing this, the man in black robes immediately bowed, showing great respect.
"The Demon King..."
Scholar Su looked at the demon king, seemingly lost in thought, but then his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and he exclaimed:
"Are you the Wheel Demon King?"
"what?"
Zhan Lunhui was equally shocked. He knew what the word "Demon King" meant; it was an existence comparable to a half-saint!
"blockade!"
The Demon King of Reincarnation stepped forward, a sinister smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, space seemed to freeze as if by glass. At the same time, a voice filled with killing intent slowly echoed out:
"I never expected a Grand Scholar to arrive. Today, none of you are leaving!"
