One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 541: Chapter 447 King of Demon Descendants, Six-sided Wolf Snake

Under the moonlight, in the dark hall.

The eunuch Zhao Weidong’s corpse exploded, scattering chunks of crimson flesh across the smooth floor.

Ji Xuance’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Algres with a disdainful smile on his face, saying, “Just a Demon Descendant, nothing but a gasping rat in the gutter, daring to come before me and talk about cooperation, truly a delusional dream.”

Ji Xuance’s voice echoed in the hall.

Previously, when the Mythical Battlefield collapsed, Algres was also among those who besieged Emperor Wu’s Destruction Power.

The two had met at that time, and this meeting was not unfamiliar to Ji Xuance.

Although his current state was dire.

But after inheriting the throne, protected by Dragon Qi, plus the various arrangements left by Emperor Wu, he could gain substantial support within the Dynasty.

Ordinary Destruction Power.

Even without the protection of the Imperial Army, Ji Xuance was unafraid.

However fierce this display was, Algres saw something else in it.

After pondering for a moment, he instantly understood that Ji Xuance did not truly want to refuse. If he really didn’t want to cooperate, the moment Algres appeared, they would probably have started fighting.

But now…

Ji Xuance was just posturing.

He was merely considering how to gain more benefits from him during the negotiations.

Realizing this, Algres’s eyes showed a trace of contempt when looking at Ji Xuance.

Such an expression quickly crossed Algres’s face, like a fleeting shadow, so fleeting that even Ji Xuance didn’t notice anything unusual. Algres looked at him calmly, then smiled faintly, “Of course you may refuse my invitation, but in doing so, it may not be long before I meet the first Empress of the Zhou Dynasty in a thousand years.”

The air flowed through the long corridor.

Making a hissing sound on the coiling dragon pillars.

The moonlight was frosty cold, and at the moment Algres’s words fell, the entire room seemed to be sealed by millennium ice.

Ji Xuance’s face, which was feigning authority, cracked like a mask filled with splits, crumbling beyond maintenance and replaced by an angry and ferocious visage.

“Do you really think I can’t kill you?”

Bang!

Ji Xuance’s voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, the armrest next to the Dragon Chair exploded under his grip.

You really can’t kill me… Algres thought more scornfully, having previously escaped with his life from both Emperor Wu and Su Heng, not to mention other skills, he was very experienced in staying alive.

Algres’s mouth twitched slightly, his voice gentle, “I am merely stating a fact.”

Like a tightly drawn bowstring slowly loosening.

Ji Xuance’s heavy breathing spread throughout the Taihe Palace; after a moment of silence, his face darkened as he asked, “Let’s hear it then, what can you offer me if we cooperate, and what do you disgusting vermin want from me?”

Algres’s mouth curled into a slight smile, aware that the fish had bitten the hook.

“Don’t worry, this is a long-term cooperation, we are not insatiable people, what we want from you is merely a place to settle and concealment.”

“As for the exchange…”

Algres said, “Your injuries, not only can we heal them, but we can also help you step into the Realm Lord Realm.”

“A place to settle, concealment.” Despite being injured and agitated, Ji Xuance still maintained basic judgment when discussing serious matters.

What had happened in Dragon Abyss, Ji Xuance had also received detailed intelligence.

He suddenly realized and retorted, “I’ve heard that when the horn sounds, it will be the day of the Demon Descendant Kings’ counterattack. It seems this rumor is not false, but the way you’ve returned is different from what I anticipated.”

Ji Xuance chuckled twice, saying, “Like sneaky thieves.”

“So cautious and prudent, who are you intending to deal with, those legendary Descenders?”

“Not just the Descenders, but also the Northern Border Demon Dragon.” Seeing Ji Xuance’s slightly startled expression, Algres calmly said, “I have clashed with him before, at that time his strength was already comparable to Emperor Wu. And now, I heard that Princess has ventured deep into the Eternal Heaven with him, apparently gaining a lot—not surprisingly, perhaps his military power now surpasses your father’s.”

“Such a strong adversary, we must not take him lightly, better to adopt some more secure methods.”

Ji Xuance’s gaze darkened.

He had planned to use the cover of the Mythical Battlefield and refine the Blood Pill with millions of commoners in the Jiang Er area.

But that plan had been thwarted by Su Heng, who at that time seemed like a minor character. Yet in a blink of an eye, the opponent had become this powerful.

Born into nobility and revered status, striving to step into the Realm Lord Realm, yet struggling to this current state.

While Su Heng, a mere commoner, was…

Hiss!

A strong sense of injustice surged in Ji Xuance’s heart.

“Heaven and earth, ruler and subject, all things in the world, everyone is born to play their own role, if someone attempts to disrupt this order, chaos will ensue.” Ji Xuance spoke lowly, “I agree to your terms.”

A trace of disdain flickered through Algres’s heart, but he still nodded slightly, “So now, we are allies.”

“But…”

Ji Xuance changed his tone, “The things you promised me, how will they be handled.”

Seemingly anticipating this, Algres’s smile remained unchanged, speaking unhurriedly, “Sir, the following matters will be handed over to you.”

Ji Xuance keenly noticed.

When Algres said this, his face wore an expression of respect.

He couldn’t help feeling surprised. Could there be a third Demon Descendant present during their conversation?

And since Algres was already a Destruction Level powerhouse, what kind of being would “Mister” refer to? In the next breath, Ji Xuance got his answer.

“Hmm.”

With a light hum, footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

Ripples stirred in the void, and soon, a towering Demon Descendant stepped out from the shadows.

He stood tall and poised, dressed in a dark green armor with a thick fur cape draped over his shoulders. He had light golden hair and a pallid face, as if shrouded in eternal shadow, never having seen the sun. His eyes were green, his cheeks elongated, exuding an innate nobility.

The man held a sword in his left hand, right hand resting on his chest.

He nodded slightly to Ji Xuance, and then started speaking with a calm, deep voice, “It’s our first meeting, human Emperor. My name is Ryan, the last Emperor of the Demon Dynasty.”

…

…

…

The sky was dark, the forest ablaze.

The entire battlefield was engulfed under a blood-red sky, with thick smoke rising like columns.

Flames greedily licked every inch of the ground, the corpses of dead humans sizzling under the fire’s embrace, emitting a strange scorched aroma.

Bang!

With the collapse of a gigantic tree.

A massive shadow darted out from the swirling dust.

Rachel lowered her center of gravity, gripping her sword tightly, maintaining her breathing rhythm. As the creature almost touched her face, she ignored the oncoming wind and stench, letting out a low roar, power surged from her feet, thrusting upwards.

Plop!

Leveraging her own strength and the momentum of the creature’s charge.

Though the sword had dulled from continuous intense battles, it still pierced through the creature’s body.

Hot blood instantly splattered on Rachel’s cheeks and shoulders, seeping further into her chest through the gaps in her armor at her neck.

The creature’s blood was as corrosive as sulfuric acid.

Rachel heard the hissing sound as her skin burned and corroded.

Ignoring the blood stains on her body, she clenched her teeth and exerted more force, and with another roar, she twisted the sword in her hands.

Roar!

Amidst the painful screams of the creature.

A bloody head landed on the ground, blood gushing like a fountain from the severed neck.

Rachel rolled along the ground to evade the spurting blood. Her chest heaved, breaths heavy, her face devoid of the excitement of defeating a formidable foe, instead, despair slowly surfaced.

In the crackling sounds.

The burning ancient trees grew more intense, resembling ferocious demons, only their black silhouettes visible.

The fierce firelight dispelled the darkness, and as the distance between them grew, Rachel could finally see the full appearance of the monster. The blood-soaked creature, having emerged from a nightmare, had a body like a giant wolf but with six snake heads on its neck, hissing and flicking their tongues.

One of the heads had been chopped off by Rachel, now lying on the ground.

While the remaining five heads, mocking, seemed to be contemplating how to devour the young man before them.

Swoosh!

The Wolf Snake moved gracefully across the ground.

Then its speed surged, leaving behind a blur.

With a speed almost surpassing Rachel’s reaction limits, it fiercely lunged forward.

Crack!

In her haste.

Rachel only managed to lift her sword by instinct, blocking upward.

Their sizes were not on the same level, and coupled with the sudden burst of extreme speed from the former.

Rachel only felt a sharp pain in her wrist like a lightning strike, followed by her sword flying out of her grasp. Her chest deeply indented as well, with a crisp sound, ribs broke, and her body flew backwards from the immense impact, slamming hard into a tree behind her.

First pressed against it, a crisp sound echoed.

Then a swath of branches and dried leaves fell along with Rachel’s body, like a broken rag doll, to the ground.

In the fluctuating firelight.

The Wolf Snake walked forward step by step, its jaws gaping open, fiercely tearing the air with a bite.

Plop!

Birds transformed by magic flapped their wings and departed from the sky.

With fire-lit leaves falling down, a large hand grabbed onto the Wolf Snake’s body. Amidst extremely fearful screams, the forest gradually quieted down.
