Chapter 36: The Nine Sons Compete for the Throne (12)
There was something at home a few weeks ago, and this time I will update it more for you, I hope you like it
The demon king Baizu, is since the chaos, the longest reigning demon king of the demon race, by the demon patriarch respected as the holy lord demon king, known as the holy lord is not only his reign for thousands of years, more importantly, in the thousand years of his rule of the demon race, the tribe for the first time really eliminated the estrangement between the tribes, became a unified race, and he united the human race to resist the beast race, and achieved the real freedom of the demon race, and then he turned against the god king, led the demon race and the human race, in this long thousand years he led the demon race to experience thousands of battles, thousands of troops, fighting for a lifetime, so that the demon race can gain a foothold in the southern wilderness。
In the eyes of this thousand-year-old man, life seems so short and small, life and death are just a matter of the blink of an eye, and after seeing through life and death, he is no longer afraid.
But the torrent of history is always unexpected, and now he is like a withered body, he has no former might, his thin body can no longer bear everyone's expectations, and his trembling voice can't deter anyone. At this moment, facing his son, his wife and those nobles who usually 'bow down to their ears', his heart began to tremble, and he felt the fear of death for the first time, not only because he knew that his limit had come, but also because he saw that it was his relatives and clansmen who had been protecting and caring for him who wanted to take his life, and it was not the blade that killed him, it was their selfish hearts, for their own glory and wealth, husbands, fathers, kings were so fragile and boring.
"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ...... "Listening to the shouts of everyone in the Demon King Palace, the Demon King suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, this laughter ran through the entire Demon King Palace, and it shook everyone present.
Ao Lengshuang, Ao Tian, Tiger Roar, Yan Meng'er, Twilight Xue and everyone present were stunned by the laughter, and everyone's eyes were staring straight at the laughing demon king.
"Father, you ...... What's wrong with you" Yan Meng'er and Twilight Xue beside them couldn't help but feel scared when they watched the demon king laugh wildly, it was the first time they had seen their father laugh so loudly, and this laughter was clearly desolate and sad.
Hearing Yan Meng'er and Twilight's inquiry, the Demon King slowly stopped laughing, and turned his head to look at Yan Meng'er and Twilight beside him, but his face was smiling, "You two go down and call the Demon Queen up, I have a few words to say to her, go quickly, my good boy." ”
"Obey, father" Yan Meng'er and Dusk Xue responded, and the two slowly walked down the high platform of the Demon King Hall holding hands, passing through the Black Demon and the Demon Army, and the two walked straight to the Demon Queen.
The two didn't come forward, they bent down at the demon queen, and gave a salute, "Demon queen, my father invites you to go up, saying that I have something to say to you alone", Ao Lengshuang just squinted at the two of them, and didn't turn his head at all.
Yan Meng'er and Duxue may be regarded as princesses of the demon clan in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Ao Lengshuang and the nobles present, the two of them are just rebels born of the demon king and the human race, and they are nothing at all, and Yan Meng'er and Twilight Xue also know this, so they have always been respectful of Ao Lengshuang, and they all call her 'demon queen'
Yan Meng'er and Twilight Xue didn't react when they saw the demon, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they retreated back and retreated behind the Black Demon and the Demon Army. Ao Lengshuang looked up at the demon king on the high platform, thought for a moment, and then heard Ao Tian behind him whisper: "Queen Mother......!
Ao Lengshuang turned his head, and a pair of cold eyes interrupted Ao Tian's words as fiercely as knives: "He is still the king of the demon clan, or your father, you have to remember, without him, there would be no you, do you really want to kill your father and seize power!" It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that on the high platform, the person who looked like a withered tree, the old man with an angry face, was his father, the person who gave him life and rights, and his face suddenly felt shy, and he retreated timidly.
Ao Lengxue slowly walked to the high platform, from the hall of the Demon King Hall to the throne of the Demon King, there are a total of nine hundred and eighty-one steps, and there are only a few people who can walk on this step on weekdays, she still remembers the last time she walked on this step, or when she married the Demon King, she and the Demon King slowly ascended the throne from both sides, at that time she was in her prime, dressed in splendid clothes, with family heirlooms. 'Nine-colored treasure chain', carefully walked up the steps, ascended the throne of the demon king, and accepted everyone's mountain worship with the demon king, at that moment, she felt that her life had become brilliant from then on.
And now, it is still the long steps paved with this boulder, or the throne of the demon king that is high on the throne, but the demon king is no longer the groom of the year, and he is no longer the bride who loved the demon king back then.
Ao Lengshuang raised his head, his eyes revealed a cold gaze, but his face was numb.
Ao Lengshuang walked in front of the demon king, the demon king looked up at her, signaled her to lean down, it seems that the demon king at this moment has no strength to stand up again, Ao Lengshuang leaned down and approached the demon king: "Nian is a husband and wife after all, as long as you are willing to announce in public to give up the position of the demon king, I can guarantee that you can still enjoy peace in this demon king palace and accept the worship of the demon clan!"
Ao Lengshuang looked at the pale demon king, after all, he was the husband she had been with for hundreds of years, and she still couldn't do it after all, and her cold face actually showed a trace of sympathy.
"Hehe, Shuang'er, you are no longer the little girl you were back then, look at you now, not only calm and resolute, but also know that grace and power are combined, if your heart is like me for the future of the demon clan, maybe I can enjoy peace a long time ago! It's a pity that ......"
A cold smile appeared on the demon king's face, and Ao Lengshuang's face was stunned for a moment, and then a smile also appeared: "It's a pity that ...... what?"
"It's a pity, you are a woman's family after all, after all, you are limited to the frame of bloodline and family, you only pretend to be your own children in your eyes, and look at others like dross, these women's views will only make our demon clan fall in the end!" The smile on the demon king's face disappeared, replaced by seriousness and rebuke.
Ao Lengshuang's face also became ugly, and it wasn't until the Demon King finished speaking that a cold smile appeared on her face again. "Maybe all this is my woman's opinion, but unfortunately, you can't change anything now, you will be praised by future generations as a hero of the demon clan, as for the future of the demon clan, I think about it today, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about it anymore!"
"Shuang'er, stop it, restrain yourself from the precipice, it's still too late, as long as you let them ...... now" Before the demon king finished speaking, a cold smile sounded in the demon king's palace. It seems that the Demon King's advice is just a joke for her now.
"Demon King, you are really old and confused! You still haven't seen the situation clearly, you look at the three major families and all the nobles in the Demon King Palace, all of them support my son Aotian to succeed to the throne, and then look at the overlord army and the iron-blooded army standing behind him, they are all bargaining chips for Aotian but you replace him, you look at yourself again, in the eyes of my woman, you are just an old man who is about to die, and you are no longer the demon king who is full of words, today is the day when the demon clan changes the dynasty, and it is the beginning of our Ao family leading the demon clan to dominate the world! From beginning to end, Ao Lengshuang was a mocker.
"Hehe, you...... Don't think things are so simple," the Demon King stared straight at the laughing Ao Lengshuang.
"If you have anything else to say, say it, don't waste time, everyone is still waiting to welcome Aotian to the throne!" Ao Lengshuang straightened up and deliberately raised his voice, His Royal Highness's Aotian raised the sword at his waist, the sword was unsheathed, and the Decepticon Army and the Iron Blood Army behind him continued to rush into the Demon King Palace, and the nobles in the palace also took advantage of the situation to retreat.
Heisha immediately let go of the tiger roar, and while commanding the demon army to step forward, he retreated to Yan Meng'er and Dusk Xue's side, blocking in front of the two, and rushed to see the overlord army and the iron-blooded army in the hall fully armed, as soon as he entered the main hall, he set up a formation, facing the demon army sword, glaring angrily, the hall was filled with a thick murderous aura, and a bloody battle was about to begin.
Standing on the high platform, Ao Lengshuang shouted to the people of His Highness: "Stop me!" This stabilized the two sides of the confrontation. She turned her head and looked at the demon king on the throne: "Demon king, take a closer look at this hall, you should give an edict!"
"Hehe, yes, it's time to do it" The demon king's red eyes suddenly turned red, he slowly raised his head to look at Ao Lengshuang, when Ao Lengshuang saw that the demon king's pale face was still dull and dull eyes just now, suddenly flashed red light, and her heart suddenly panicked, she knew that the blood in these eyes meant 'death'.
"Aotian, don't do it yet!" Ao Lengshuang suddenly shouted loudly, she faintly felt that the withered demon king in front of her seemed to have some killing moves left!
However, before His Royal Highness Aotian could react, he saw that on the high platform, the demon king suddenly got up from the throne, and the demon king and the demon king were very close, and the demon king rushed to the front of the demon queen with an arrow step, and grabbed the demon queen's neck with his right hand.
And what surprised Ao Lengshuang even more was that the demon king who was still like a withered body just now seemed to be recovering little by little, and Ao Lengshuang could even clearly see the red blood flowing faster in the demon king's dry arms, and the demon king's blood-colored eyes became more bright red, and gradually his body became no longer so thin, and his shriveled skin began to swell.
"You...... You ......" Ao Lengshuang felt that the power in her body was passing rapidly, and she was becoming weaker and weaker, she was stunned by the scene in front of her, she didn't expect the demon king to have such an ability.
"Shuang'er, do you know why I live longer than all of you!Ha, ha, ha" The demon king grabbed the demon queen's neck and slowly lifted her in front of him, looking at the weakness and horror on Ao Lengshuang's face, the demon king's face showed a cold smile, and he whispered in the demon queen's ear: "When I was practicing demon arts, I suddenly found that as long as I absorbed the blood of other demon clans, I could enrich my own strength and prolong my life! This is the secret of my ability to rule the demon clan!"
"Why are you lying to us, you can obviously ......" Ao Lengshuang listened to the words of the demon king, his face was full of horror and confusion, and he became weaker and weaker.
"All this is just part of my plan, I want more than just a demon clan, don't worry, I won't let you go on the road alone" The demon king's face once again showed a cold smile, but Ao Lengshuang had already passed out.
"Aotian, you rebel, don't let them all step down for me! Your mother is in my hands, if you dare to act rashly, I will kill her now! Get out of the Demon King's Palace" As he spoke, the Demon King walked to the edge of the platform and held Ao Lengshuang in the air.
"Queen Mother!" Aotian never expected that the demon king, who was still on the verge of death just now, would suddenly fight back. All of this was completely unexpected, and he didn't think much about it at all, "Everyone stand back!" Aotian shouted to the soldiers beside him.
"Heisha, leave from the apse with Yan Meng'er and Dusk Xue, hurry!" The demon king saw that Aotian had led people back, and hurriedly asked Heisha to leave with his two daughters.
"Father, what about you...... What should you do?" Yan Meng'er and Twilight looked at the demon king on the high platform, worried about the safety of this demon king, "Don't worry about me, you follow the black demon to find the god king, he will protect you, go quickly! I have my own way!" The demon king looked at the two daughters, and a smile flashed on his face.
"Let's go, princess, let's go!" Hei Sha suddenly put his arms around Yan Meng'er and Twilight's waists, dragging the two of them towards the apse. Leave the demon army and Aotian to confront each other.
"Aotian, if they leave, the matter here will be known to outsiders, and when the time comes, none of us can afford to kill our father and seize power" I don't know when, the elder black ape walked to Aotian's side, he saw that Heisha was about to leave with the two princesses, and hurriedly persuaded Aotian to do it: "The eldest husband must be ruthless in doing things, and his relatives can also be killed, the matter has come to this, and he can't succeed here."
"You...... But...... Queen mother...... She!" Aotian put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and looked at Aocoldfrost on the high platform with a difficult face.
"Do you think you can still save your queen mother? If you continue like this, we can only die together!Die together!Die together!" The black ape shouted in a low voice to Aotian, which suddenly made Aotian feel terrified, and he couldn't help but draw his sword.
"Come on, the demon king's old illness has relapsed, he has lost his mind, after killing the demon, everyone will quickly take down the demon king!" Aotian shouted to the soldiers behind him, but his eyes stared straight at the arrogant frost who was pinched by the demon king on the high platform.
"Yes!" As soon as Aotian's words fell, the overlord army and the iron-blooded army behind him immediately killed the sky, Aotian rushed towards the demon army with his soldiers, and the demon king's palace suddenly flew flesh and blood, although the demon army was the elite of the demon clan, but after all, the number was too small, a demon sergeant on the demon king's hall had to fight against at least five overlord army or iron-blooded army at the same time, and he couldn't parry it at all, and soon with a few screams, these demon armies were cut into several sections, and there were several enemies lying around, flowers flowed on the main hall, and the overlord army and the iron-blooded army rushed to the high platform where the demon king was located with blood and corpses。
And at this moment, the demon king turned around and pressed the red gem on the throne, the throne suddenly moved, and there was a hidden passage behind the throne, the demon king dragged the demon queen into the passage, at this time, the arrogant cold frost had no breath, and the demon king was recovering a little bit, the two walked straight along the passage, pushed open the door of the exit, and it happened to be the corridor in front of the council hall.
And at this moment, there is only one guard at the door of the council hall, "Are you ready?" the demon king looked at the guard standing at the door.
"It's all ready" The guard bowed his head respectfully, not daring to look directly at the Demon King.
"Very good!" said the Demon King, handing the dying Ao Lengshuang in his hand into the hands of the guards......
