Legend of the Great Sage

d by black thorns.
Her beautiful, silken dress was stained with blood.
She spread her slender arms, like a butterfly trapped in a spider web, possessing a brutal sense of beauty about her.
Even her blue eyes struggled to focus on the enemy.

The Bone Eating Shaman King’s voice seemed to ring out from an extremely distant location.
It took her all of her efforts to control her tongue and mouth, saying gently, “Don’t worry, he’ll return.”

It was exactly because she believed in this so much that she did not choose to perish with them, instead holding them off for a little longer for his sake, hoping he could overcome the heavenly tribulation safely.
However, as she was facing seven Demon Kings, that also meant she lost the ability to make that choice forever, which would lead to a fate even worse than death.

Apart from the thorns around her, there was a purplish-black existence that resembled a brain above her head, which had a terrifying, distorted face on it.
That was the Meditative Brain King’s demonified form.
He constantly used his powers to influence her mind.
The other Demon Kings had also surrounded her, all poised with various techniques and abilities ready to be unleashed, which would be enough to make her beg for death.

“You fool.
You’ve been deceived.
He tricked you out of the South sea into this mess before tricking you here to die in his place.
What an idiot!”

The Bone Eating Shaman King had failed Qiongqi’s mission, which left feeling rather frightened within his anger, so he was in an especially bad mood.
He did not even spend time trying to forcefully breach or refine the Asura Field.
Given the situation, everyone would choose to flee, so it would be too late even if he opened it up.

The other Demon Kings in the surroundings all took pleasure in his misfortune.
They failed the task even after going so far.
After all, there were no Demon Gods known for possessing a good temper.

“You’re wrong,” Gong Yuan said gently.

“I’m wrong!? Oh, I think I recall it now.
Your younger sister was a fool just like you, having been lured to Fire Melt mountain by the fire devourers and tortured to death by burning.
The two of you sure form a great pair of sisters.
You’re even foolish in the exact same way.
Though, I don’t like to play with fire.
I only like to eat meat.
The taste of merfolk flesh is delicious.
I’ve always taken a liking to it, though I’ve yet to taste the flesh of a Merfolk Queen!”

The Bone Eating Shaman King extended his crimson tongue and licked his lips, smiling viciously.
“You will live for a very, very long time.
I’ll slice off your flesh piece by piece and enjoy it slowly.
How’s that? It’ll be a perfect match for the way your sister died!”

“Heh, then do you know what ended up happening to Fire Melt mountain?”

Gong Yuan was calm.
He was such a horrendous person, but she neither regretted leaving the South sea to face these dangers with him, nor did she resent him for her current situation.

Suddenly, she understood how her younger sister felt back then.
She could not help but smile.
They were both holding onto hope.

“How dare you still…” The Bone Eating Shaman King became furious.

“He will return.
It might not be now and instead be in the future, but he’ll find you one by one and give you payback for today.” Gong Yuan’s eyes suddenly focused, staring coldly at the Bone Eating Shaman King before her.
However, she smiled inside.
He was very vengeful after all!

“I’ll eat your mouth first!” The Bone Eating Shaman King shivered inside and became even more angered.
Suddenly, he opened his huge, gaping mouth, revealing his sharp teeth and biting towards Gong Yuan.

Gong Yuan shut her eyes.
The foul breath filled her face, but the Bone Eating Shaman King’s howl rang out beside her ears!

A blood-red blade rushed out of the Asura Field, plunging into the Bone Eating Shaman King’s head from below.
With a twist, the head was ripped to pieces, and the howl halted.

Li Qingshan climbed out of the Asura Field and said rather tiredly, “This woman’s lips belong to me!”
