Volume 7: The Great War Chapter 8 The Appearance of Demon King Yu Xiao

She raised her head stubbornly and faced him, her golden brown eyes seemed to be spitting fire. Although his hands squeezed her so hard that she could hardly breathe, and his brutal fingertips seemed to crush every bone in her neck, the stubbornness in her bones would not allow her to show any fear towards him.
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!
She struggled to find her voice again: "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. Stop talking!"
The other party seemed to suddenly have a hint of interest in this stubborn woman who he could crush to death with just a few fingers. He released her neck, but Ping Lili was still suspended in the air by an invisible force, facing him.
"Are you the successor chosen by that old guy Xuan Yue?" As if noticing the Biluo sword in Yinglili's hand that had once severely injured him, the Demon Lord Yanyue raised his eyebrows slightly, and his cold fingertips brushed across Yinglili's cheek, lifting the loose hair on her forehead. Not surprisingly, he saw the blooming ice-blue lotus between her eyebrows.
Ying Lili snorted coldly, but was too disdainful to answer the other party's question. She clenched the Biluo Sword in her hand, trying to break through the invisible confinement.
"That old guy has been smart all his life, but he is so confused that he chose such a weak heir! Tsk tsk~" There was a hint of sarcasm in Yan Yue's deep blue demonic eyes, and he shook his head with regret.
However, the only thing that surprised him was that although this human woman was stupid and weak, she had a very strange physique.
The evil energy emanating from his body could not erode her at all. Before, Zhuo Ao's skin had turned iron blue as soon as he came into contact with his evil energy. However, the woman in front of him seemed to be naturally immune to his evil energy and was not hurt at all.
It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of her, blocking his evil energy for her.
Could it be that this woman has the blood of the Nine Yin Mysterious Desolate? !
The dark blue demon eyes of Demon Lord Yan Yue narrowed slightly, and his gaze gradually moved down and fell on Gong Lili's lower abdomen. Suddenly, his brows frowned slightly, as if he suddenly understood something!
His expression immediately turned gloomy, and he stretched out a hand. His fingertips suddenly became as sharp as a knife, as if they were about to cut open Gong Lili's body in the next moment!
At this moment, a ball of purple air suddenly rose in front of him. The evil purple air forced the Demon Lord Yan Yue to subconsciously take a few steps back. The next moment, the figure of Ying Lili, which was originally floating in the air, was snatched away by a ball of purple shadow!
It’s the Purple Cloud Beast!
The sudden appearance of the Purple Cloud Beast Pingping saved Ying Lili's life.
At this time, Ying Lili was lying on the back of the Purple Cloud Beast, feeling the purple air gradually invading her body. Her body, which had been imprisoned and numb, finally began to regain consciousness.
"Pingping? How come you are here?" Ying Lili exclaimed in surprise. After the battle in Kuaiji Mountain, the Purple Cloud Beast disappeared inexplicably. No one knew where it went or what happened. Unexpectedly, it suddenly appeared here today. How could it not be surprising!
Unlike its usual noisy behavior, the Purple Cloud Beast remained unexpectedly silent. After carrying Gong Lili to Long Yu's side, it leaped back to the Demon Lord Yan Yue.
"Yuxiao, you've been reincarnated too?!"
Yuxiao? Are you saying that the Purple Cloud Beast is mediocre?
Is that Pingping’s real name?
Nightmare Moon actually knows it?
Ying Lili stared at the purple mist in surprise, watching it gradually dissipate. Then, a young man in purple silk clothes and flowing silver hair appeared in front of the Demon Lord Yan Yue in an instant. Although he had his back to Ying Lili and the others at this time, just from his back, one could feel a strong demonic aura permeating around him.
This was the first time Yinglili had seen the Purple Cloud Beast in human form, and she felt it was completely different from before. Where had it been all this time? What had happened?
At this time, Long Yu's violent coughing drew Gong Lili's attention back. In fact, the person who was most seriously injured by the attack of Demon Lord Yan Yue just now was Long Yu.
Ying Lili quickly supported his shaky body: "Long Yu, how are you? I'm sorry, everything..." The words of apology were stopped by Long Yu's fingers on his lips. He shook his head at her and forced a smile, as if telling her not to blame herself.
Guilt flooded in Ping Lili's heart. If it weren't for her, if it weren't for her last moment of kindness, perhaps things wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Yan Yue, how are you?" The Purple Cloud Beast, which had transformed into a silver-haired young man, spoke in a cold voice. The icy voice seemed to have no trace of heat, just like the knocking of jade.
"Yuxiao, what are you doing here? Are you trying to ruin my good deeds?!" The Demon Lord Yanyue narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Let her go." The young man called Yu Xiao didn't say any unnecessary words and went straight to the point in a cold tone.
"What a joke! Do you think you are still the Demon King Yuxiao who was as powerful as me back then?!" Yan Yue was just slightly stunned, then began to mock the other party rudely.
Ying Lili was shocked again, Demon King Yu Xiao?
Although she had imagined the unusual origins of Ziyun Beast Pingping countless times, she had never imagined that he had such an identity.
At this time, Long Yu and Zhuo Ao had gradually gathered beside her, as if they had instantly forgotten each other's injuries. However, their faces were more solemn than ever before. They looked at the Purple Cloud Beast, no, at the Demon King Yu Xiao, with an expression as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, the Demon King Yu Xiao stood in front of the Demon Lord Yan Yue like a statue, his purple silk robe rustling in the wind, and his whole body exuded an aura that was even colder and more dangerous than that of the Demon Lord Yan Yue.
It was as if a snow leopard was quietly watching its enemy.
"Are you sure you want to fight me to the death again for a human woman ?" The Demon Lord Yan Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, as if testing the bottom line of the Demon King Yu Xiao.
Although he did not take those human masters seriously, he did not want to fight with the Demon King Yu Xiao.
That was an opponent that made him feel very uncomfortable. The magic of demons belonged to the same clan but had different origins. Moreover, he and Yu Xiao were both immortal and neither could kill the other. If they started fighting, it would be a pure waste of time and would only benefit the onlookers.
"I'll say it again, I want to take her away. If you want to stop me, let's have a few moves first." The tone of the Demon King Yu Xiao did not sound like a tone of negotiation at all. These so-called demons really have worse tempers than each other.
"When did you, Yu Xiao, become Xuan Yue's lackey?" Yan Yue pondered for a while, and suddenly snorted coldly.
"What's a mere Xuan Yue? To me, she is the only special one." Demon King Yu Xiao seemed to have heard the slightly relaxed tone of Demon Lord Yan Yue, and turned around on his own. At this time, Ying Lili noticed that after Demon King Yu Xiao turned into a human form, he turned out to be such a handsome young man with delicate eyebrows and eyes. It was a pity that his face was too pale, and even his lips were pale. He looked translucent, and there was not a trace of blood vessels. He was like a glass doll, cold and crystal clear.
She had naturally heard what he had just said to Demon Lord Yanyue. The protectiveness in his words touched her deeply. Her throat tightened, and she tentatively forced a smile at him: "Pingping?"
Although he had a more handsome name than the nickname she gave him, for some reason, she liked to call him by her own nickname. This made her feel more intimate, as if in her heart was still the purple cloud beast Pingping who was as playful as Zeze and had an unrestrained love for sweets.
Demon King Yu Xiao was stunned by the gentle call. He stared at her blankly, and then the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Sister Lili, let's go."
Before she finished her words, purple mist appeared in front of her again. Ying Lili only felt an extremely domineering demonic aura surrounding her. Her body suddenly became lighter, and followed by the purple mist, her whole body gradually floated up. She seemed to hear Long Yu calling her name anxiously. She reached out to touch him, but there was nothing.
Her consciousness seemed to gradually fall into a deep sleep uncontrollably...
