Chapter 127: Death, Transformation into Fiendish Ghost!_1
A few days ago.
The red dragon centipede found Zhuge Hongtu and started to communicate with him in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
“Zhuge Hongtu, Fifth Prince Li Mingtai is in my hands.”
“Ming Tai? Why is he here? What are you trying to do?”
“Haha! You’ve been in the Demon Suppression Bureau for decades. Can’t you figure this out? Without you, how can Lee Myung Tai live? He could only risk his life to save his good uncle.”
” What exactly do you want!!!”
In some aspects, Zhuge Hongtu was not smart enough.
However, he could tell that the red dragon centipede seemed to have some ulterior motive.
Otherwise, she would not have told him all this.
“Deal. I want to make a deal with you!”
“What deal?”
Zhuge Hongtu asked coldly.
He had been a demon slayer for twenty to thirty years. He had killed unknown demons and ghosts, but he had never made a deal with a demon.
In Zhuge Hongtu’s eyes, demons were like cows, sheep, pigs, and dogs, destined to be slaughtered. How could they be worthy of negotiating with him?
But at this moment, Li Mingtai was in the other party’s hands.
He was the only person Zhuge Hongtu cared about in this world!
Whether it was because of their relationship or to fulfill Li Mingtai’s mother’s request before her death.
Zhuge Hongtu couldn’t just watch Li Mingtai die in front of him!
“It’s very simple. I will release you and Li Mingtai and help him ascend to the throne!”
“With our help, why would he worry about not being able to achieve great things?”
“And what I need is only the position of the state preceptor.”
The Scarlet Dragon Centipede’s strange voice was filled with temptation.
However, Zhuge Hongtu would not trust a demon so easily.
He asked,
“You want to steal Da Qian’s luck and transform into a dragon? What great ambition!”
“But how can I trust a yaomo?”
The red dragon centipede let out a strange laugh as if it had expected Zhuge Hongtu to ask this question.
In the darkness, a fist-sized ball flew into Zhuge Hongtu’s arms and was caught by him subconsciously.
“This is my demon core. It’s in your hands now.”
” What?!”
Zhuge Hongtu was stunned as he held the huge Monster Core.
He did not expect that the Crimson Dragon Centipede would hand over its demon core to him so easily.
One had to know that even though destroying the Demonic Pill couldn’t kill the Red Dragon Centipede.
However, it would definitely cause its cultivation to be greatly damaged and it would be heavily injured!
At first, Zhuge Hongtu even suspected that it was a fake Monster Core.
However, after testing it again and again, he was 100% sure that it was indeed the demon core of the red dragon centipede!
How dare this monster?
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll destroy your demon core?”
Zhuge Hongtu’s mind was in a mess. He didn’t know what this demon was thinking.
Hearing this, the red dragon centipede let out a strange laugh.
Zhuge Hongtu’s reactions seemed to be within his expectations.
The giant demon with a deep mind said coldly,
” Of course I’m scared!”
“But as long as you dare to do this, I’ll risk everything to die with you!”
“I don’t dare to say anything else, but that Li Mingtai is definitely dead.”
“Do you want to bet with me?”
“Hahaha! Hahaha!”
Zhuge Hongtu’s face turned ugly when he heard the strange laughter of the red dragon centipede.
He was clearly holding the other party’s demon core, but he felt that he was being suppressed in every way. He felt like he was being controlled.
“Why? Was it worth it to take the risk?”
“As long as I crush this demon core without caring about Li Mingtai’s life, you will most likely be killed by Brother Yun and me!”
“You… Aren’t you afraid?”
Zhuge Hongtu gritted his teeth and asked.
However, the red dragon centipede understood.
The meaning behind his words was obvious.
Zhuge Hongtu would never do that!
“Why? Naturally, it’s to transform into a dragon!”
“Of course I’m scared! He had been muddle-headed for hundreds of years and cultivated bitterly for hundreds of years before he had today. How can I not be afraid?”
“But as long as I can transform into a dragon, it’s worth it no matter how big the risk is!”
” Dragonize! Dragonize! Dragonize!”
“Me! Yes! Transform! Dragon!”
The Scarlet Dragon Centipede’s voice roared in Zhuge Hongtu’s mind.
At this moment, Zhuge Hongtu suddenly felt a trace of fear.
It made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his entire body was cold!
When he was fighting the red dragon centipede, he was not afraid.
He had been trapped in the demon’s stomach for a whole year, but he was still not afraid.
Not even a trace.
However, after sensing the crazy obsession of the giant demon, he suddenly realized that he had no idea what was going on.
Zhuge Hongtu was scared!
In order to transform into a dragon, this monster could disregard anything and everything!
If he didn’t agree to its deal, who knew what would happen?
Li Mingtai’s fate…Where would it go?
..
Seeing that Zhuge Hongtu did not speak, the centipede’s voice became calm again and continued,
“Now, you already have something on me.”
“And I need something to use against you.”
“This way, we can establish a preliminary trust between the two sides, and the transaction can continue.”
Zhuge Hongtu was silent for a moment before he asked,”
“What do you need to use against me?”
“Keke! What would happen if the world knew that you killed your best friend? This should be a useful leverage.”
“You!”
Hearing this, Zhuge Hongtu’s eyes widened in shock and fear.
“You’re right. I need you to kill Yun Qingkong!”
“Between Li Mingtai and Yun Qingkong, only one can survive!”
“Give me your answer in fifteen minutes, or I’ll kill Li Mingtai and we’ll all die together. Hahaha!”
There was silence.
Dead silence!
Zhuge Hongtu gritted his teeth, unable to utter a single word.
Time passed bit by bit. His heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and he could barely beat!
At the last second before the 15 minutes ended, Zhuge Hongtu finally spoke.
His throat seemed to be stuck, and the sound he made was extremely difficult.
“I… I want Ming Tai to live.”
“Hahahaha! Hahahaha!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Scarlet Dragon Centipede’s maniacal laughter rang in Zhuge Hongtu’s mind.
“Good, very good! Next, you just have to do as I say. Our deal is done.”
“Wait a moment, you just…”
※※※※※※
Zhuge Hongtu still felt suffocated when he recalled the conversation he had with the red dragon centipede a day ago.
His heart felt like it was being crushed by a huge rock, making him unable to breathe!
On the other side, Su Mu who had witnessed the entire process was stunned.
He had thought that after they killed their way out, Yun Qingkong and Zhuge Hongtu could join forces to fight the centipede demon again.
Who knew that Zhuge Hongtu would personally push Yun Qingkong into the abyss!
Why did he do that?
What exactly happened?
Su Mu combined all the information and began to think wildly.
..
“Uncle Tu!”
As soon as he escaped, a young man was thrown in front of Zhuge Hongtu.
When he saw Zhuge Hongtu, he couldn’t help but cry out in fear.
This person was Li Mingtai.
The Demon Slayers around him had all been killed by the Scarlet Dragon Centipede!
“It’s okay, it’s okay. With me here, no one can hurt you!”
Zhuge Hongtu consoled Su Mu, then turned to look at him, his eyes full of killing intent.
The red dragon centipede had already shown its sincerity.
The deal between the two sides began to take effect.
And Su Mu became the extra person.
..
Su Mu looked at Zhuge Hongtu and Li Mingtai, then at the giant centipede lying on the ground not far away. He understood everything.
He let out a long sigh and said,”
“Can we really believe the words of a demon?”
“You… He didn’t look like someone who would betray his brothers and friends!”
Hearing this, Zhuge Hongtu’s face flashed with pain.
He touched the demon core that he had hidden on his body and said in a deep voice,
“You have to believe it even if you don’t. I… I have no choice.”
“You can go in peace. I will take good care of your wife and children.”
“If one day Ming Tai ascends to the throne, they will enjoy endless glory and wealth!”
Zhuge Hongtu drew his sword.
As the only witness, Su Mu must die!
Su Mu himself knew this very well.
Seeing this, he sighed helplessly and sat on the ground.
In front of Zhuge Hongtu and the red dragon centipede, he had no chance of escaping.
Other than waiting for death, there was no other way.
Zhuge Hongtu didn’t waste any time and swung his sword from a dozen meters away.
In the next instant, a bloody line appeared on Su Mu’s neck.
Blood splattered as his head rolled down.
He was dead!
..
Things should have ended here.
However, Su Mu had just died, and the weather suddenly changed!
When they charged out, the appearance of the Three Suns Burning Heavens had a certain suppressive effect on the Scarlet Dragon Centipede.
But after Su Mu died, the situation changed again!
The three suns quickly overlapped and returned to their normal appearance.
Then, dark clouds gathered and a black line appeared on the sun, and it was rapidly expanding!
” Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun?!”
Zhuge Hongtu was in disbelief. He couldn’t believe his eyes.
Be it the Three Suns Burning the Heavens or the Heavenly Dog Eating the Sun, they were both extremely rare astronomical phenomena.
Appearing alone was nothing.
However, he had never heard of these two phenomena appearing one after the other!
Not even once!
This was because the Three Suns Burning Heavens ‘Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun was a completely opposite phenomenon.
One was Great Yang, and the other was Great Yin.
Why did they appear one after the other?
However, such an unreasonable thing was happening right in front of their eyes!
If Su Mu was still alive, he would have given them a whole sentence-do you understand the value of [Many Children, Many Blessings] plus ten God’s Children?
However, he was already dead and could not say anything.
But to Su Mu.
Death often meant that everything had just begun!
The Heavenly Dog devoured the sun, and the Great Yin Qi surged.
A person who died unjustly was about to descend into the world in a terrifying manner!
