But there are not many people in the world who can do this to this extent.

"Where is the cold man?" Li Hong suddenly asked.

"I asked him to protect Yu Feiqiong." Ding Ruoyu saw him pull a knife from the cabinet and hurriedly went out, and followed closely behind, "What are you doing when you go out so late?" ”

Through the light of the snow, Li Hong glanced at her, and said without stopping: "Seeing the cold side, there are still some things...... I want to ask those demons I haven't seen before. ”

"But in this case, you are exposed!" Ding Ruoyu quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"It doesn't matter." Lihong gently held her shoulders and looked at the starless sky after the snow stopped.

It's just that I'm a little sorry for the last entrustment of the floating boat, and the development of events no longer allows him to hide in the shadows and do nothing.

His demeanor at this moment was almost the same as when the floating boat said in the small inn that day that he would definitely return.

Ding Ruoyu was flustered in his heart, and reached out to hug his slightly thin waist, for fear that he would disappear as soon as he let go.

"Okay, okay, they are not my opponents combined, and they won't do anything to me." Lihong patted her on the back and told her to relax and go back to rest, and we would see each other again the next morning.

Looking at the knife he was always holding in his other hand, Ding Ruoyu nodded.

Judging from the traces left on the snow, Yu Feiqiong did not return to the palace, but went to the big mansion she secretly bought.

Li Hong looked at the civilian guards who surrounded the three outer floors of the mansion from a distance, and without thinking too much, he stepped forward and drew a fancy circle with the tip of his knife to envelop the entire mansion, causing everyone to fall into an illusion.

Then he walked in through the main entrance in a bright light.

The four corners of the courtyard were lit with torches, and the officers and soldiers were still patrolling back and forth, but they didn't seem to be able to see it, and they didn't notice the swaggering intruders in at all.

At this time, there was a "squeak", and someone pushed the door and walked out.

A snow-white coat is cold. Yu Feiqiong did not completely let down his guard against him, and did not let his personal guards serve in the same room, but gave him another side room to stay.

At this time, he walked in front of Lihong without squinting, and came to a plum tree in the courtyard and stood quietly, looking at the sky with his hands in his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lihong followed, slashing his finger and writing a rune on his forehead before recalling him back to reality from the illusion.

"This is the Demon Clan's holy relic, the Ice Spirit Stone," Li Hong took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Sui Han, looked around, and said in a low voice, "In exchange, I found and killed the ghost slayer in the past two days." ”

"Kill ......" Sui Han was startled, glared at him and said, "You said it lightly, why don't you do it yourself?" ”

The cold snow light reflected the casual look on Li Hong's face, and he casually folded a red plum and said, "I don't want the Zen Yuan Master behind him to find out my details so quickly." ”

"I fought him, so you're using me like that?" Sui Han grumbled, his voice not small, and the group of guards who walked by him were unaware.

He reached out and nudged one of them, who staggered a little, but still didn't stop. Sui Han laughed, dusted off the snow on his shoulders and said, "Why do you want to get rid of the ghost slayer so quickly?" As you told me, he wasn't necessarily the one who laid down the Nightmare Array. ”

"The news I just found out is that Duan Lianggong is the tenth sacrifice." Li Hong took the plum branch into his arms and said to him lightly, "The tenth person has been sacrificed, and another demon with high mana needs to be voluntarily fused to complete the formation." Last time, I destroyed most of my body with heavenly punishment, and it has been difficult to recover, so it is the best material for fusion. ”

Sui Han pondered, and suddenly said, "I don't know something, why did they let Duan Lianggong, who was the sacrificer, get rid of the dead who escaped?" ”

"In addition to the ten who bear the seal, a hundred young people from fifteen years old and under twenty years old are needed for blood sacrifices." Li Hong sighed, "As long as these teenagers are of the right age and are in good health, anyone can do it." Choosing the dead soldiers of Tianluo Palace, so he made a fuss, it really looks like someone's style. ”

"These ...... You didn't tell Miss Ding? Sui Han held on to the trunk of the tree and took a deep breath to calm down.

He didn't actually need to ask this question, it could be seen from Ding Ruoyu's request for him to protect Yu Feiqiong that she didn't know anything about the facts.

"It's useless to tell her." Li Hong said, "There will be other people stirring up trouble in three days, you have to do it as soon as possible to avoid any trouble." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the formation set up loosened somewhat, and some guards scratched their heads suspiciously, and were about to look this way, hurriedly climbing over the wall.

Sui Han had to swallow all the words that he had time to say in the future.

The winter nights are long, and the snow-covered streets are empty. Li Hong walked forward along the long street, and he had already passed the alley back to Caihualou, but he didn't stop, until he came to the large open space outside the demon stronghold.

He measured the distance, took two steps back, cut through the snow and ice, dug a hole in the ground, and pried out an ordinary-looking wooden box.

The box was sealed with runes and was not locked. A golden ray slashed through, breaking the seal, and a small gourd was contained inside.

"You're here." Behind him, a deep and mellow male voice sounded, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

Li Hong didn't answer, resealed the box, and turned around with a knife.

The other party smiled lightly, did not dodge, did not block, the knife was deflected, and the sound of the wind passed by, and even the wide hat on his head was not cut off.

"Still so impatient." The man criticized softly, raised his right hand, and with a "dang" sound, the knife that looked heavy in Lihong's hand fell in the air.

The hand holding the knife hung uncontrollably, with multiple fractures from below the elbow. Li Hong squinted at the other party and sneered, "You are really alive." ”

The broken arm was wrapped in black purple demonic energy, and after a while, he moved his wrist, and the injury had already healed.

"Instant recovery, what a perfect piece!" The man high-fived and exclaimed, stepped forward and picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground.

The cold wind blew his wide robe, revealing a corner of his robe. He took two steps back from Hong's wooden box, and said uncertainly: "You have become a priest of the Snow Country?" ”

"When the child grows up, he refuses to call him daddy...... Anyway, you are also created by me after thousands of years of hard work, which is equivalent to my own son. The man sighed and tried to hand him back the knife, but saw that he took two steps back vigilantly.

"It's just a tool, don't get involved with family affection." Li Hong turned his head away from him in disgust, and said coldly, "The only one who can make me willing to recognize my father is Yangkong, and you are not qualified." ”

The man burst out laughing, leaning back and laughing from his heart. Finally stopped laughing, he coughed a few more times, and after a while, he smoothed out and said, "Is there any difference between me and Yangkong?" ”

Lihong stared at him as if he were looking at a stranger. He stood silent for a moment, then turned around and left, ignoring the fact that the knife was still in the other party's hand.

"See you next time, you and I are opponents." He walked neatly and neatly, without a trace of old feelings.

The person behind him laughed and raised his voice, "You don't have to wait until next time, you can give it a try tonight." ”

Before the words fell, Li Hong dodged sideways, and the knife he brought flew past where he was just now, and landed two feet away.

"You should understand that the existence of Yangkong is just because I did it on a whim."

Turning around again, the man didn't know how to move, and instantly narrowed the distance between the two to within one step, and his slender fingers gently put on the other's throat.

Li Hong stared at his Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, motionless, and suddenly there was a slight electric light on his body.

The man sensed that something was wrong and quickly withdrew his palm.

"Who would have thought that the First Monarch of the Demon Realm, who has lived for tens of millions of years, is actually from the Celestial Clan......" Li Hong smiled sarcastically, stretched out his hand, and conjured a pitch-black short staff in his palm.

"Gods, demons, and spirits were originally of the same origin tens of thousands of years ago, and after countless battles, they were gradually divided into four races. The Heavenly Clan is not superior, and the Demon Clan is not heinous, I taught you these truths thousands of years ago. The man was calm and relaxed, unarmed, but calm.

"You're right, but why do you want to appear again and stir up trouble in the Three Realms?" Li Hong clenched his staff, and there was a flash of lightning in the sky, and his black eyes turned bloodthirsty scarlet in an instant.

The man sneered, and said as if he had heard a joke: "What kind of position do you stand on to ask this sentence?" ”

The roar of thunder and lightning suddenly disappeared, and the cold wind stirred the snow on the ground, slapping on the two of them, turning into even finer powder.

The fire in Lihong's eyes went out, and he suddenly remembered that night when it was also snowy thousands of years ago.

In the vast ice field, a man in a Taoist uniform dragged a dying young man, threw it in front of him, and refined it into a ghost pill on the spot.

"He is the last boy left by the ghost clan, and if he fuses this ghost pill, their clan will be completely wiped out."

Lihong, who looked to be less than ten years old, crawled over from the pile of corpses stained red with snow, snatched the ghost pill in his hand, and raised his face to look at the starless, moonless, pitch-black sky.

"Demon Slayer Clan, Demon Slayer Clan...... You see, there will be fewer and fewer people with mana, and the Three Realms will soon be as you wish. ”

"Shijun, if only you and I are left in the end, will you accompany me to perdition?" Li Hong held the ghost pill and laughed sadly.

The Taoist priest squatted down, lovingly stroked his soft black hair, and sighed: "Don't be stupid, I can't die, and you can't die either." That's probably the punishment that the days give us......"

A thousand years ago, he wanted to pull everyone into the water.

A thousand years later, he had become so thoroughly that he couldn't even understand who he once was.

If it were in the sky, it would have done everything in its power to prevent this from happening...... He was very glad that at this moment, the person in front of him had already erased the existence of the sky from himself, and he had also cut off that bond with his own hands.

Starlight jumped on Lihong's staff again, dragging the falling thunder, tearing the dozens of ghosts hidden in the snow into countless pieces.
