Chapter 697: The King of the Clan

Bei Zeyi's face was gloomy, the demonic power around him surged, and he held up huge fireballs in each hand, dragging out layers of fire waves in mid-air, and blasted towards the mountain leopard king on the second floor.

The demonic power beam in the Mountain Leopard King's hand also flickered endlessly, knocking all the incoming fireballs away, colliding with Bei Zeyi's new round of attacks, flowing in all directions in the bell tower, like a large out-of-control cannonball.

The flames were raging, the smoke was thick in the air, and cracks as thick as an arm appeared on the walls and floor. Many onlookers couldn't dodge, and they were also affected, and they were blown into a ball of powder on the spot. 【8 people left】

Wan Xuan had already pushed away the sword and did not return, hurriedly avoided to the side, took the healing elixir of the demon clan, and after a brief breathing, she watched the battle in front of her with full attention, of course, her gaze never left Bei Zeyi's body.

To win...... You are my hero. Certain...... You have to live!

"Endless Hell!" A cloud of demonic power rose in Kitazawa Yi's body, turning into a large red lotus in full bloom. The Red Lotus continues to expand, encompassing the entire bell tower. The flames that rose up, like a monstrous wave, pressed down on the head of the mountain leopard king.

The Mountain Leopard King sneered, and formed a seal in his hand. The broken earth and masonry scattered in the hall all flew upside down one after another, and under the traction of the chaotic air flow behind him, they piled up and merged with each other, and soon formed an earthy yellow ball, like a star moving in the universe. Wave after wave of strong energy swirled around the side, and a fierce swallowing force also suddenly erupted on the surface of the sphere.

"Qiankun World!"

Under this suction, the superimposed flames gradually decomposed, absorbed by the earthy yellow spheres, and the area of the sea of fire also suddenly decreased at an astonishing speed. Under the elimination of one and the other, the two demonic forces that collided violently in this space also showed a distinct change.

Guan Xuan watched anxiously from the side, the current situation is obvious, Bei Zeyi is not the opponent of the Mountain Leopard King. This is the gap in basic demon power, and it is also the gap in combat experience. And this gap will inevitably continue to widen as the battle progresses. When the time comes...... He's in danger!

"What's going on?" a faint voice suddenly sounded beside her. Zhong Yanyan finally solved the Shenhuo Hall offering, "long overdue". I didn't want to turn around, but I saw that Guan Xuan was not only not dead, but a fierce battle was breaking out in the hall, and this unexpected change made him, the person who planned step by step, also a little confused.

Suppressing his thoughts and observing attentively for a long time, Zhong Yanyan also accurately saw the direction of the battle, and couldn't help but say to himself: "If two tigers fight, there will be an injury, which is great!"

Hearing this, Guan Xuan undoubtedly verified the worst conclusion in her heart, and she was so anxious that she rushed out on the spot: "No, I'm going to help him!"

Zhong Yanyan grabbed her and said in a deep voice: "Don't mess around! Now that the mysterious assassin is dead, when the Fire Phoenix King and the Mountain Leopard King are both defeated, or even die together, our family will be the only one." When the time comes, the treasure must belong to our demon clan. ”

Guan Xuan still cares about any treasures, and her mind is full of the saying that "both sides are lost, and they will end up together" rotated repeatedly. As for Zhong Yanyan later, in order to dispel her suspicions, she even played tricks with several demon emperors on the other end, and sold good words in every possible way, but she went in and out of her left ear and out of her right ear, and she didn't listen to a word.

"Nirvana Fire!" Bei Zeyi's eyes were bloodshot, and the seal changed again, and a fire phoenix phantom appeared behind him. The flames around him steamed rapidly, and in the end, all that was left was a heart wrapped in flames, turning into a streamer of light and rising upside down.

The Mountain Leopard King unhurriedly raised his hand and pointed: "The Mountain God is angry!" A dark blue beam of light came straight through like a lightning bolt, cutting a path accurately in the flames, and the remaining momentum was still inexhaustible.

Kitazawa's expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly turned into a fire shield in front of him. The shield that was burning with the demonic power of the Yuan God did remove most of its strength, but as the flame in the middle weakened slightly, it was immediately grabbed by the blue electric light and swept through, piercing through Kitazawa's shoulder, bringing out a large amount of blood splashing. And his figure also fell forward after him.

"Boy, now you know the gap between you and me, right?" the Mountain Leopard King made a gesture and laughed proudly, "Only a little phoenix with beautiful feathers, it is enough to stay in your grass nest and take pity on yourself." When this king leaves here, he will reluctantly accept your Huohuang clan on your behalf. But this will be where they will be—" He stroked his stomach slowly, showing his arrogance.

Under the provocation of the Mountain Leopard King, Kitazawa Yi slowly raised his head, his eyes burning with crazy hatred. But just when everyone thought that he was about to burst into a rage, a cold smile gradually pulled up on that handsome face stained with blood.

"Huh...... Hehe......" Bei Zeyi struggled to stand up, and when he spoke again, his voice was empty, but every word, crying blood, was inexplicably chilling from the bottom of his heart.

"Perhaps, I am indeed not a hero, and I am not a qualified demon king, and my contribution to the clan is far less than that of my father's life. But...... If you want to destroy my whole people, even if I only have my last breath left, I will definitely drag you to hell......"

"So for the sake of the thousands of generations of my Fire Phoenix Clan...... Bei Zeyi finally stood up again, and in his suddenly raised eyes, there was also a flash of madness, "You just give me to die here! Mountain Leopard King!!"

The sound resounded through the corridors and throughout the bell tower. Immediately afterward, a devouring force that was far more powerful than the Mountain Leopard King's "Qiankun Great World" exploded at the limit of the hall like a huge wave. In all directions, a large number of fiery red particles mixed with the rolling demonic qi surged rapidly, it was the evil qi of heaven and earth, the endless evil qi that no one dared to easily absorb unless they gave up their lives!

"This is the ......" On the corridor at the other end, Ye Shuo's gaze suddenly froze. Not so much amazed by the evil spirit itself, but ...... This method of absorption, he was very familiar with, and that kind of devouring power...... That is to say, on Kitazawa Yi's body, is there also an artifact fragment that is the same as himself?

Under the infusion of this massive amount of evil qi, Bei Zeyi's body shape also underwent abnormal changes. Layers of fire waves alternately rose and fell in his body like clouds, and an unusually large fire phoenix phantom manifested from his heart, enveloping his entire person. Faintly, it seemed to be real, and his wide open arms were also being covered with layers of feathers. It seems that he is gradually overlapping with this phantom.

In the surging waves of fire, in front of Kitazawa's eyes, all the scenes were hazy. In his ears, there seemed to be the familiar admonition again, which belonged to his father's voice—

"Yi'er, you must cultivate well, and in the future, you will be an excellent demon king!"

The waves of fire are rolling, and the gorgeous five-colored tail feathers are spread out behind the back, the luster is flowing, and the energy is churning, like the flame of the pure world. The place where it spreads is boundless, and it has the courage to swallow the vastness of the four seas and sweep the heavens and the earth.

……

In Bei Zeyi's memory, it was still the study of the Huohuang clan, and the desk was always full of folds. His father would sit on his lap with him, and in between the recitals, he would teach him how to write and explain to him that it was the responsibility of the king.

"Yi'er, the king of a clan, has to sacrifice everything for his people, sacrifice everything, and sometimes, even his own life. ”

The young Kitazawa Yi held a brush that was too big for him in his small hand, dragging crooked strokes on the white paper. Whenever his father's expression became serious, he would always turn his head like this, open a pair of clear big eyes, and say in a childish voice:

"These Yi'er don't understand. Yi'er just wants to be with his father all the time, and his father must always be with Yi'er. ”

At that time, he really didn't want to hear what his father had to say. It's just that he simply thinks that his father is the king of the strongest clan, and even if the sky falls, he can bear it. And after the next dynasty, the father only needs to play with him. Under the protection of his father, he just wants to be that spoiled child forever and be the carefree little prince of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Every time he changed his coquettishness, his father always smiled helplessly, and finally let him roll into his arms. At that time, he was very happy, thinking that this was his father's compromise on himself. But perhaps, my father is worried about his "not growing up" again and again.

……

The waves of fire were surging, and the strange feathers stood up at the back of his head, and his arms had completely turned into wings of fire. The layers of feathers stretch in the wind, the edges and corners are sharp, gorgeous and sharp.

……

Yes, he was always a child. Until that day......

"Crown Prince, the Fire Phoenix King has just died on the front line, and this is the only one he has left. ”

When the old grandmother, who had been in charge of taking care of him, held a gold-lacquered tray in front of him and brought back the news of his father's death in battle, Kitazawa Yi only felt that his sky collapsed in an instant.

The invincible father, the pillar of the whole clan, is now ......

In the tray, there was a bloodstained bracelet. Kitazawa Yi recognized it, and because he liked it, his father often held this bracelet to tease him. And now, he can no longer shelter himself and the entire Huohuang Clan, can no longer let his father teach him to read, and can no longer hear him call himself "Yi'er"?

Kitazawa looked at the bracelet for a long time, and tears suddenly welled up. In a burst of heart-wrenching despair, he felt that he had also died at this moment.

When his whole body trembled repeatedly, and he was about to break down and cry, the old lady still said in the usual tone: "Prince, now is not the time to be sad, please change your clothes immediately and prepare to ascend the throne." ”

On both sides, kneeling were full of maids holding crowned dragon robes, as well as ministers who rushed to hear the news. None of them can understand their own sorrow, the sorrow of the Son of Man, and they keep saying that they are urging themselves to ascend the throne......

"The Huohuang clan can't be without a leader for a day, the first king has passed away, and the crown prince should immediately succeed to the throne to settle the hearts of the people——"

Kitazawa Yi let himself burst into tears. He could feel that his hands were already spasming to varying degrees.

No one thinks about their emotions, no one puts themselves in their shoes, they even ...... I don't even want to keep the time to cry to myself......

"I don't want to ascend the throne, I don't care so much, I just want my father to come back!" Under everyone's gaze, Kitazawa Yi cried out loudly, "Let's go, you all go!" Walking briskly between the maids, frantically knocking over all the trays they were holding, and the crown and dragon robe belt rolled to the ground. Then, despite the dissuasion of the ministers, he rushed into his room and locked the door.

"Prince, what the first king wants to see most is that the whole clan is stable, and now all the demon clans, as well as the human and demon clans, are all eyeing each other outside! If you insist on refusing to succeed to the throne, and in the future my Huohuang clan will be swallowed up, do you want the first king's hard work to be in vain, how can you let him be safe under the nine springs! Prince!" the old woman's hoarse exhortation still came in.

Kitazawa curled up in the corner and covered his ears vigorously. No matter what they say outside the door, they won't go out. He doesn't want to ascend the throne, he doesn't want to grow up, is there no way to realize such a simple wish? If his father was still here, he wouldn't have watched himself be wronged......

The exhortation lasted for half an hour. Just when Kitazawa Yi thought that they had given up, the old grandmother's voice came in again. This time it was particularly hoarse, and it was a chill of extreme disappointment.

"That's it, the old slave won't persuade you anymore. If you want to blame it, blame the first king for not having eyesight, and choosing such a dangerous head, the prince who can only cry and cry! In the future, whether the Fire Phoenix Clan is prosperous or humiliated, it will all be our lives...... I'll put all these clothes at the door for you, and there are still three hours left for the enthronement ceremony, so you can decide for yourself. ”

Inside and outside the door, there was silence for a while.

Looking at the still closed door, the old lady sighed and turned to leave. But just as the ministers also sighed and got up, there was a sudden "squeak" sound from the door panel behind them.

Kitazawa's emaciated figure stood in front of the door like that, tears on his face had not dried, but when he raised his gaze, he already had a kind of perseverance that really belonged to the superior.

"Give me a change of clothes. ”

Kitazawa Yi that year, based on the age of a human being, was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. When a human teenager of the same age was still in the academy, living a life protected by his teachers and loved by his parents, he had already put on an overly heavy dragon robe, wore a crown that made his head hurt, stepped through the long red carpet, and stepped onto the highest throne step by step.

At the enthronement ceremony, he looked down at the people who bowed to him, and tried to put on the most majestic expression of his own. In the future, he must always face the world with this expression, which is not only the crown of the king, but also the shackles of life.

At that time, he learned that only by becoming stronger can he not be bullied, and only by becoming stronger can he protect his clansmen. The time he used to spend playing and being lazy was all devoted to cultivation by him. He learned to speak with strength, learned to eradicate all potential enemies, and learned to seal his heart. He wants to go to the top, so that the world will no longer dare to underestimate the Fire Phoenix clan!

With a wave of his robe, a wave of demonic power swept out, and all the wooden stakes that assisted the practice in the distance exploded. The young Bei Ze Yi retracted his head, there was coldness and perseverance in his eyes, and the resolute eyes faintly coincided with the noble and gorgeous fire phoenix in front of him.

"Although, I will never be as good as my father, but if it is my turn to sacrifice for the whole clan today, then, I will not run away-"
