The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 777

Chapter 777: Chapter 773: True Purpose Chapter 777: Chapter 773: True Purpose “I knew it, the renowned Bull Demon King is a true hero. Don't worry, since your unwillingness to submit is as unshakeable as a rock, we won't force you. You can stand aside, we can even guarantee future peace between us and your Cuiyun Mountain, Jilei Mountain, and Drill Mountain, without interfering with each other.” The Black Skeleton spoke slowly.

“Spare me the nonsense, what are your conditions?” The Bull Demon King asked coldly.

“We only have one condition, and that's to hand over the Heavenly Book in your possession immediately,” the Black Skeleton said.

With these words, the Bull Demon King's expression suddenly darkened.

“How did even the Demon Clan find out about the Heavenly Book possessed by the Bull Demon King?” Shen Luo's heart jumped too.

“You've made all this fuss just to seize this object?” The Bull Demon King didn't deny it, but sneered instead.

“Daoist friend, you are mistaken. Our initial orders were to invite you to join us. Only because you were adamant did we resort to a secondary plan to request the Heavenly Book,” the Black Skeleton said.

“So, as long as I hand over this item, you will release Yu'er and cease your aggression in the Jilei Mountain area?” the Bull Demon King asked, raising an eyebrow.

Seeing his unchanged expression and calm tone, Shen Luo's heart sank.

“Yes, as I promised before, the various factions of the Demon Clan will be at peace with you and your affiliated tribes in the future, and will no longer wage wars against you,” the Black Skeleton nodded.

“This Heavenly Book is a relic of the old Heavenly Court. I find it annoying too, you can have it. But if you cause any trouble henceforth, don't blame me for fighting till the end,” the Bull Demon King sneered.

“That's natural…” the Black Skeleton replied joyfully.

“The Demon Clan is cunning, don't trust them easily,” seeing the unfolding situation, Shen Luo quickly cautioned.

“With Yu'er in their hands, what choice do I have?” The Bull Demon King glanced at him and said.

“Elder Fox King, please advise him,” Shen Luo turned to the Ten Thousand Years Fox King and said.

The latter looked at the woman in the clouds, his face showing difficulty, but he hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Shen Luo sighed silently, knowing that whatever he said now would be useless.

The Bull Demon King's figure was about to ascend on a cloud of green from beneath him.

“Daoist friend, stay where you are and just hand over the Heavenly Book,” the Black Skeleton advised at this time.

The Bull Demon King furrowed his brows but stopped and said, “In that case, let's move together. I hand over the Heavenly Book, you return Yu'er, alright?”

“Very well, it's a deal,” the Black Skeleton agreed almost without any hesitation.

The Bull Demon King's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a golden book sparkled before him.

He only glanced at the book, clearly not liking it. Subsequently, he swiped at it, flinging it away.

The Heavenly Book floated in the void, flying towards the Black Skeleton.

“Elder, I'm sorry, but the Heavenly Book can't fall into the hands of the Demon Clan.” Just then, a figure suddenly darted out, seizing the Heavenly Book and trying to escape.

“Brother Shen.”

A furious shout rang out, and nine immense snowy white fox tails appeared from all around, blocking his escape route.

Before Shen Luo had time to use his escape technique, a huge black hand reached out from the void, grabbed him.

“I'm letting you off this time for your past kindness to us, don't take more than you bargained for,” the Bull Demon King flew up to Shen Luo, pulled the Heavenly Book out of his hand and flung it towards the Black Skeleton.

Upon seeing this, the Black Skeleton raised a hand and pushed the woman reincarnated from Princess Jade Face off the edge of the cloud.

Witnessing this, the Bull Demon King immediately released Shen Luo and soared up to catch her.

However, just as Princess Jade Face approached the Bull Demon King, a brilliant white light suddenly lit up from her Dantian. A force that had been suppressed for a long time was about to break loose.

“Self-destruction of the Dantian…”

Shen Luo's eyes suddenly shrank. This demon had indeed played a trick. The force of Princess Jade Face's self-destruction of the Dantian might not hurt the Bull Demon King much, but her death would definitely be a fatal blow to him.

The Bull Demon King's eyes widened in shock. His figure dramatically accelerated and almost instantly rushed to the woman's side. Placing a palm on her lower abdomen, he slowly infused her with a gentle force, forcibly suppressing her imminent detonation of power.

“You're asking for death…” the Bull Demon King thundered, holding the woman close to him.

However, before he could finish his sentence, something unexpected happened.

The woman in his arms, who had been showing a pitiful, teary face, suddenly displayed a cruel smile. A pitch-black dagger slid from her sleeve and stabbed brutally towards the heart of the Bull Demon King.

“No…” the Ten Thousand Years Fox King yelled, but it was already too late.

The Bull Demon King, with little defense against the woman, spat out a mouthful of blood from his heart, smearing it over the woman's face.

The woman's cruel expression vanished as soon as the hot blood hit her face. She hastily released her grip on the dagger with her eyes filled with panic.

“Father King…” the Red Boy cried out in shock.

“What… what have I done…” the woman looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, screaming fearfully.

“It's okay, it's okay, I owed you this.” The Bull Demon King gently stroked her hair, soothing her in a soft voice.

“Watch out!” At this moment, Shen Luo suddenly bellowed.

Behind the Bull Demon King, a black silhouette emerged abruptly, holding a black spike. In line with the black dagger, it viciously stabbed towards his back.

“Seeking death.”

Without needing to turn around, the Bull Demon King growled. He forcefully flung an arm backward.

A surge of Mana exploded from within his body, wrapping around his arm in a dazzling green light. With this armor of light akin to a green glowing armguard, he swept across in a shining blast, bursting out an eye-catching flash.

With a thunderous “boom”, a violent energy wave spread out in all directions from high up in the air.

The clouds in the void swirled, ripples stirring, and the Black Skeleton was violently flung back thousands of feet into the midst of the demon army by the overwhelming force. This charge shattered hundreds of demon soldiers, scattering their remains all over the place.

The storm that was stirred up in the void tore through the black cloud carrying the demon soldiers, causing the entire demon army to scatter and flee like locusts.

A thousand feet outside the void, the Black Skeleton was standing miserably. One of its arms had been completely shattered, one-third of its ribcage had been broken, and worst of all, there was an almost penetrating crack on its spine. His attempts to heal it with Mana were futile.

“The Great Strength Bull Demon King, truly deserving of his reputation. Fortunately, I still managed to get the Heavenly Book, at least I won't return empty-handed…” The Black Skeleton, with its only remaining withered hand clenching the golden book, said somewhat relieved.

However, when its gaze landed on the book, the two balls of ghost fire in his eyes sockets suddenly shivered violently. Following that, his whole body began to tremble.

The book, previously glowing with golden light, was now a deep dark blue. The mocking golden words “Ghost Tales” on it made him feel utterly humiliated.

And in this book, there was even a shiny fox hair tucked inside!
