Chapter 379: 313: Two Unlucky Fools, Choosing the Path to Death

Outside Baihua County, atop an unnamed hill covered with green grass.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew past.

The surrounding grass, like ripples, drooped and spread outward.

Solban, covered in wounds and dripping with blood, appeared on this hilltop. He first looked around to identify the direction, saw that he was not mistaken, and Baihua County was just in front of him. He then breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of joy appearing on his face.

From the moment he left that city of Demon Descendants until now, he had been entangled in battle for over ten days.

Two Demon Descendants, like wild dogs, relentlessly pursued Solban.

And aside from fighting, these two Demon Descendants spouted insane babble.

They spoke of inferior races, no strong people among humans, and other derogatory terms.

Solban usually had a good temper, but after being chased and insulted for over ten days, even a clay figurine would develop a temper, let alone Solban, a master of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Fine, fine, you think there are no strong ones among my human kin? Today, I will broaden your horizons and show you what a true tough person is. I hope that when the time comes, you two unlucky ones will not regret it and weep outright.

Solban thought bitterly to himself.

Thinking of that scenario, his body, nearly exhausted, somehow mustered an extra bit of strength from somewhere.

He deliberately waited a bit longer here, after noticing the Demon Descendants Aguduo and Snow were getting close.

Only then did Solban take a deep breath.

Squeezed out the last bit of strength from his body, and using an Escape Skill, he darted towards the direction of Baihua County.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Not long after, two figures stopped on this unnamed hill.

It was Aguduo and Snow, sent under the name of the great elder of the Demon Descendants, to hunt down Solban.

Snow, noticing the blood on the ground, smiled, "We need to move quickly, this guy won’t last much longer."

"But up ahead..."

Compared to the impulsive Snow, Aguduo was clearly much more cautious.

"All along our way here, there has been chaos everywhere, demons reviving, even the great cities lying in desolate ruin," Aguduo analyzed, "Yet the city ahead of us is booming, teeming with people; there must certainly be some remarkable experts presiding over it."

"At the end of the day, this is still a remote wilderness; even if there are strong beings, how strong can they be?" Snow still appeared unconvinced.

The two Demon Descendants had just returned to their homeland.

They hadn’t yet had time to properly gather information or deepen their understanding of the current situation.

They were hastily sent here by the great elder, clearly not quite aware of what had been happening in this region recently.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Aguduo frowned, feeling a weight in his chest.

Meanwhile.

Solban saw the two Demon Descendants actually stop behind him.

He was instantly anxious.

If you two stop here,

I’m screwed—it’s like walking into a trap. This won’t do.

With how things had progressed, Solban was desperate. He was on the brink of success with his feigned weakness plan—he couldn’t let it fail!

During their previous confrontations,

He had unwittingly been inflicted with soul poison, which he had been suppressing with his strength.

Now, Solban let the strength dissipate from his body, allowing the soul poison to erupt. His face instantly darkened, and large patches of rot appeared on his skin. ???????

Spurt!

Solban spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Staggering, he almost fell to the ground, as even walking seemed a difficult task for him.

"The soul poison I planted has taken effect; this guy really can’t hold on," Snow’s eyes brightened, and she was immediately elated.

"What are you hesitating for!"

Snow bit her lip, stamped her foot in frustration, her heart-shaped tail swaying, "If you don’t want to go, then I’ll just go and cut off his head myself."

"However, when we return to report to the great elder and Auris the Hunting Master, I will recount exactly what happened here. I hope you can come up with a good excuse by then," Snow said with a seductive smile, seemingly delighting in seeing her companion at a disadvantage.

"Fine!" With that said, Aguduo had no choice.

The ominous premonition was getting stronger; the sky was clearly very clear and sunny, yet Aguduo inexplicably felt as though a large patch of leaden clouds covered the sky, threatening a storm at any moment.

He shook his head, dismissing this bizarre thought from his mind.

"Let’s make this quick!" Aguduo said, "Behead him and then leave immediately. Do not linger or complicate matters further, understood?"

"No problem!" Snow licked her lips with her pink tongue, her face showing an eager excitement.

Aguduo sighed, knowing that Snow had not really taken his words to heart.

Troublesome woman!

He thought, feeling an inexplicable surge of dislike.

"Yah!" Just then, Snow’s expression suddenly stiffened, and then she covered her mouth and softly gasped.

"No way, what are you up to now?" Aguduo’s eyes widened, filled with confusion.

Snow’s eyes were watery, and her pale cheeks were still flushed, "Why did you suddenly touch someone’s tail just now?"

"When did I ever touch your tail!" Aguduo spread all four of his arms wide, speaking righteously. It was ridiculous, this woman was so troublesome that he would avoid her every day if he could, so how could he possibly flirt? He dreaded to think he’d never have a moment’s peace again.

"You clearly did just now!" Snow said somewhat angrily, but with the flush on her face, it seemed more like she was acting coquettishly.

She indeed felt her tail being held in a broad, warm hand.

That strange sensation...

It traveled along her tail to her tailbone, causing half her body to tingle.

Thinking back now, it was truly unforgettable.

A look of infatuation appeared on Snow’s face, as her two full thighs under the black leather rubbed together slightly.

However...

Upon seeing the stern expression on Aguduo’s face.

And recalling his past behavior, it seemed unlikely that he would do such a thing.

When she recovered from the tingling sensation, Snow’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widened, sensing trouble.

"If it wasn’t you, then who could it have been..."

Whoosh!

Both exchanged a look, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

They leapt forward together and then turned sharply to look behind them.

There, on the previously empty grassland, stood a burly human man in a black robe, his hair disheveled over his shoulders. His broad palm was slightly open, rough textures covering his palm and fingers.

Snow only needed to look down for a moment.

And she immediately realized that it was those rough, large hands that had caused that strange sensation on her tail.

Snow subconsciously revisited that moment, while only shock remained in Aguduo’s heart.

God damn, when had this man appeared behind the two of them?

If he had struck just now.

Then they would have already been...

"Gulp!" Aguduo swallowed, feigning calmness, "Who might you be, sir?"

"Shouldn’t I be the one asking that?" Su Heng stroked his chin, his eyes lingering on the two with interest, "What is your origin, and why are you sneaking around at my doorstep? What exactly are you planning?"

"My sister and I are wanderers, traveling the world upholding justice." Aguduo bowed with a gesture and smiled, "Since we have disturbed your cultivation, we will take our leave without further delay, and maybe meet again someday if fate allows."

To be able to appear quietly behind them without being noticed...

In Aguduo’s eyes...

This man was incredibly profound, an insurmountable peak.

Stay tuned to

He had absolutely no thoughts of confrontation, and as for the task assigned by the Great Elder, he pushed it aside for now. After all, if they lost their lives, there would be no hope of completing the task.

Aguduo reached out to grab Snow’s arm and they prepared to move away, but Snow’s glistening eyes lingered on Su Heng’s hands for a moment, reluctant to part. They took a few steps forward, but then a voice called out from behind, "Stop!"

"Guests are always welcome." Su Heng said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, "Since you’re here, why not come to my place for a visit?"

"Oh, that won’t be necessary, brother!" Aguduo’s smile froze, "We, siblings, are used to wandering the lands."

Su Heng had heard about the Demon Descendant from Huang Long and Meng Huan.

As for seeing them face-to-face, not counting statues, it was his first time.

So he found them peculiar, unable to confirm their origins at once.

But that did not matter; with the spiritual essence gained from days of dedicated cultivation growing deeper, even without specifically sensing it, the malice emanating from the two was as clear as billowing black smoke to Su Heng, too obvious to be concealed.

Considering this, it might as well come to a head.

"In Baihua County, no one can refuse an invitation from me." Su Heng flicked his long sleeve and smirked coldly, "Disrespecting me on my turf, I see you two are looking for a death wish."

"No need to go then, just stay here!"

Whoosh!

Before the words had faded.

Su Heng’s strength surged, and a large hand reached forward.

Without movement, it would have been fine, but once he moved, the Dragon Marrow activated, and his palm transformed into a massive dark dragon claw. The overwhelming Dragon Power rolled out like tidal waves, engulfing everything.

"Dragon Marrow? How is that possible!" Aguduo’s face showed utter disbelief.

In a life-or-death crisis, combined with the hatred for his clan’s annihilation.

Blood vessels burst densely in his eyes, and in a surge of rage, forgetting his fear, the muscles on his four arms bulged, covered in flames.

Like four powerful cannons, he pushed his bloodline power to the limit, launching an explosive attack at Su Heng.

He was certain he had elevated his energy to the peak of his life, but it was still useless.

Facing such a gigantic chasm of difference...

The tiny increment of a few centimeters was hardly noticeable.

The outcome was predictable; Aguduo’s pride in his royal bloodline was worthless in front of Su Heng.

The giant palm distorted the air and with cumulated force, struck down. It shattered everything effortlessly, as Aguduo’s four arms burst simultaneously, splattering flesh and blood, exposing white, stark bones.
