Volume 7: The Great War Chapter 16: Demon-Suppressing Monument and Worry-Free Wall
Just as Zeze was covered by the green light, Zhuo Ao and others suddenly felt that the light in front of them became brighter. A jade-like light gradually appeared on Zeze's body, which was originally covered by the green light. The light gathered in Zeze's arms, wrapping Mo Ruoruo tightly in it, and Zeze's face and even his whole body began to become as hard and cold as jade.
Long before, Zeze and Yuxiao had reached a consensus that they would rather risk their lives than let Mo Ruoruo fall into the hands of others. At this time, Yuxiao had not yet dealt with the demons. Zeze was alone facing four peerless masters with a baby in his arms. He was obviously at a disadvantage. So, he gritted his teeth and was determined to go all out. He planned to reveal his true identity and make a desperate attempt, hoping to buy a glimmer of life for Mo Ruoruo.
"Don't mess around, little brat!" At this time, the woman in green seemed to see through Zeze's intention. She raised her hand and shot out another green light, which instantly turned into thousands of green threads, binding Zeze tightly and stopping his crazy behavior.
At this moment, purple mist suddenly rose behind them, and Zhuo Ao and O Yu were forced to take a few steps back by a strong evil wind. In a flash, Yu Xiao, covered in blood, appeared behind Ze Ze.
His thick clothes had been dyed bright red, and his face was covered in blood. He looked quite ferocious, and it was hard to tell whether it was the enemy's or his own.
No, that is the enemy's blood, the Demon King's blood, not this color.
Fighting against many enemies alone, he was able to escape unscathed. The Demon King is worthy of being the Demon King. It seems that he has regained his peak form.
At this moment, Zhuo Ao's face showed a hint of approval: "Good boy, you have taken care of the four great Shuras and the twelve demon envoys?"
Like Zeze, Yuxiao did not dare to trust anyone easily, so he did not answer, but just patted Zeze's shoulder lightly, signaling Zeze to continue to step back, as if he wanted to shoulder all the responsibilities again.
Unexpectedly, Zeze looked back at him worriedly and handed Noila Mo in her arms to him: “I’ll do it this time.”
There was an unprecedented solemnity on Zeze's face, which was completely inconsistent with his childish face. It seemed that he had returned to the calm and composed little adult he was when he just left Kuaiji Mountain.
Although Zeze and Yuxiao spend most of their time playing and fighting together, no one actually knows that these two seemingly young guys have already formed an extraordinary friendship. Zeze can tell at a glance that Yuxiao is already at the end of his strength.
You must be joking. How can one be safe and sound when fighting against more than a dozen demon generals alone?
Although Zeze himself admitted that his strength was somewhat inferior to Yuxiao's, he could not just be a spectator at this moment. This was his dignity as a man.
At this moment, a clear little girl's voice suddenly came from Yuxiao's arms: "Demon Suppression Monument, Ruoruo wants to go to the Demon Suppression Monument~"
The source of the voice came from Mo Ruoruo who was in the cradle in Yuxiao's arms. At this moment, Mo Ruoruo opened her golden brown eyes inherited from her mother, but her thin lips were tightly pursed. Could it be that she was speaking just now?
Not only Yu Xiao and Ze Ze were stunned, but even Zhuo Ao and others beside them also showed surprise.
At this moment, the clear child's voice was heard again, repeating the words just now: "Ruoruo wants to go to the Demon-Suppressing Monument."
Yu Xiao, who was closest to Mo Ruoruo at this time, was almost 100% sure that the voice just now was Mo Ruoruo's. However, she never opened her mouth from beginning to end. Where did this voice come from?
Wait, could it be that he was using divine consciousness?!
Impossible! Such a young baby already has spiritual consciousness?
Zhuo Ao and the others had never seen a baby that could speak shortly after birth, so they looked at each other in bewilderment. Bai Hu and Bai E both stretched their necks, as if they wanted to see what this unusual little girl looked like.
Fortunately, Zhuo Ao is also a master who has seen the world, and thinking of the identity of this little girl, she is the descendant of his mentor and Han Yan, so it is understandable that she has some extraordinary talents.
Moreover, from what she just said, it seemed like she already knew something.
Zhuo Ao was too lazy to act like a grandmaster at this moment. He put his hands behind his back and took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to see what Mo Ruoruo, the baby in Yu Xiao's arms, looked like.
Yu Xiao subconsciously took two steps back, but then he heard Noila Mo's babyish voice coming from his arms: "Zhuo Ao... the guardian of the Demon-Suppressing Monument, will not harm Noila Mo."
As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of surprise first flashed across Zhuo Ao's face, and then a look of relief that he had never felt before appeared on his face.
This girl is not simple. She actually knows his true identity which is unknown to the public.
Although Noila Mo said this, Yu Xiao and Ze Ze still couldn't rest assured. Yu Xiao lowered his head and asked Noila Mo softly, "Ruoruo, what's going on with the Demon-Suppressing Stele?"
"The Heavenly Stone in her hand can only be refined under the Demon Sealing Monument." At this time, Zhuo Ao directly answered Yu Xiao's question on behalf of Mo Ruoruo.
Hearing this, Yu Xiao subconsciously lowered his head to look at Mo Ruoruo, only to see that Mo Ruoruo's wrinkled little face suddenly relaxed, her golden brown eyes sparkled, and her tightly pursed little lips curved slightly, as if agreeing with what Zhuo Ao said.
Yu Xiao pondered for a moment, looked at Ze Ze, and decided to trust Zhuo Ao for once.
However, he did not dare to let down his guard at all, and hugged Noila Mo tightly, his aura seemed to be ready to strike at any time: “In this case, you lead the way.”
Zhuo Ao had already walked forward. He leaned down slightly, as if he wanted to take a closer look at the baby in Yu Xiao's arms. Unexpectedly, Mo Ruoruo, who was originally wrapped in a bright yellow silk cloth, actually poked her little head out of the cloth and looked at him with curiosity. The little face that was very similar to Mo Yi, or Han Yan, made Zhuo Ao's heart soften suddenly. At this moment, the little face suddenly smiled at him, and then, a clearer child's voice came: "Hug~"
At this moment, not only Yu Xiao was dumbfounded, but even Zhuo Ao, the great master who once dominated the Xu Ming world, was dumbfounded. What did she just say?
Hug? Want him to hug?
Yu Xiao looked at Noila Mo in his arms in disbelief, but felt that the little body was twisting restlessly, as if it really wanted Zhuo Ao to hug her.
While Yu Xiao was hesitating, he saw Zhuo Ao stretched out his hand, and then he felt his hand lighten, and Mo Ruoruo had moved into Zhuo Ao's arms. At that moment, he felt a burst of golden light burning towards him, and Zhuo Ao and Mo Ruoruo disappeared in the golden light curtain almost at the same time!
Yu Xiao thought it was a trick and subconsciously wanted to take action, but was stopped by O Yu: "I'm afraid the two of them went to the Demon-Suppressing Stele first, so we should hurry up and follow them!"
Then, he raised his hand and another green light curtain appeared, covering everyone. In the blink of an eye, the scenery before their eyes changed drastically.
A green-black wall with strange diamond patterns suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Looking around , it was pitch black and eerie, as if they were in a dark dungeon. There seemed to be some green flames floating in the air.
Zhuo Ao was standing in front of the wall holding Xiao Ruoruo. At this time, Zhuo Ao slowly stretched out the hand that had been eroded by magic power before, and tentatively poked the dark blue wall. With one poke, the hand sank into the wall. However, he only stretched out halfway when he was bounced back by some invisible force. He actually took several steps back before he could stabilize his body.
Yu Xiao and Ze Ze were watching from the side and became furious, because Zhuo Ao was holding Mo Ruoruo in one hand. Yu Xiao and Ze Ze didn't dare to breathe, for fear that Zhuo Ao would accidentally hurt Mo Ruoruo.
What was even more bizarre at this moment was that the wall that Zhuo Ao had just reached into suddenly returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
"Behind this wall is the Demon-Suppressing Stele, where the Demon Lord Yanyue was once sealed. After the Demon Lord Yanyue lifted the seal, he tried to destroy the Stele, but he was unable to do so. So he used his own magic power to construct this 'Worry-Free Wall'." Zhuo Ao sighed as he spoke. "We tried every possible way to destroy this wall, but we couldn't. I even deliberately allowed myself to be eroded by his magic power, but it still didn't work."
It turned out that Zhuo Ao's erosion by Demon Lord Yan Yue's magic power that day was premeditated. This sacrifice was quite large. Yu Xiao frowned slightly: "Then what exactly did you want to do by bringing Ruoruo here? You can't even destroy this wall. Are you counting on this little girl Ruoruo?"
"Yes, maybe she can. This girl is his daughter after all. Maybe she has the same Supreme Transformation Physique as him." Zhuo Ao looked down at Noila Mo in his arms, who was looking at him with eyes wide open. He couldn't hide the worry on his face: "But..."
"But what?" Yu Xiao stepped forward quickly, already extremely anxious. If he hadn't been afraid of hurting Mo Ruoruo due to his recklessness, he would have started snatching the things away long ago.
"She's still so young, I'm afraid she can't withstand the impact of that force..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Xiao's teeth began to chatter, and he wished he could go up and beat up this grandmaster immediately. Damn it, you wanted to use her even though you knew there was danger!
At this time, Noila Mo’s childish voice sounded again: “Ruoruo, can…”
