Chapter 2366: Unexpected Developments
Salamay didn’t wait for the reaction of the ‘Lord of Slaughter’. Right after saying that, she rushed at the women.
Yun Yuqing, who was the closest to her, hadn’t expected her to immediately attack when she was still explaining things just a second before. Meanwhile, Suolun Shi had been looking at the sculpture of the demon deity devoutly, so she hadn’t been able to react in time either.
However, Jiang Luofu had been focused and on guard the entire time. When she saw the attack, eight pencil-shaped flying swords immediately flew at Salamay.
Salamay swung her fan gently, and the flying swords’ trajectory changed. Then, she ran straight at Ji Xiaoxi, who was off to the side.
Jiang Luofu was horrified. With Ji Xiaoxi’s cultivation, how could she be that woman’s match? She quickly chased after Salamay.
“Be careful!” Pei Mianman warned. However, she was still too late.
Salamay had a grin, as if her schemes had succeeded. She thrust out suddenly and immediately struck Jiang Luofu’s major chest acupoint. Jiang Luofu’s entire body went numb. She couldn't even stand steadily and continuously took three steps backward.
Salamay wanted to continue her offensive,b ut a black rose flower blossomed in front of her. She had no choice but to turn around and defend herself, and couldn't help but shiver inside.
This woman’s chest is so ridiculously massive, and her cultivation is actually the highest too!
When she saw her sisters attacked one after the other, Pei Mianman was shocked and angry. She didn’t hold back at all and immediately exchanged several blows. The situation quickly became more and more dangerous.Salamay was shocked. She had never expected this woman, whom she thought of as a sacrifice, to be so strong. Even though her cultivation was restricted by this world, Pei Mianman’s strength was still greatly outside of her expectations.
The black flames around Pei Mianman burned ferociously. She was about to attack at full strength when her body suddenly trembled. Then, she turned around with disbelief. It turned out that the ‘Lord of Slaughter’ had sealed her acupoint.
Salamay was furious and was about to end Pei Mianman’s life when the ‘Lord of Slaughter’ stopped her, saying, “Leave her alive; we still have use for her.”
Salamay remembered the matter of the blood sacrifice. She stared at Pei Mianman and harrumphed. “I’ll let you live for a bit longer.”
She saw that Donaire had already been restrained too, and couldn't help but say in praise, “Father’s skills are unmatched, as expected.”
After all, Donaire’s strength wasn’t low. She didn’t even see how her father had sealed him, and he'd even helped her restrain this big-chested woman so easily too. She had been worried that after being imprisoned for thousands of years, her father would be much weaker. Now, she felt completely relieved.
Mojard and Ollie had watched the scene unfold in shock. When they heard that, they quickly said in agreement, “The lord’s unrivaled power is our greatest blessing!”
Just then, the ‘Lord of Slaughter’ looked at the True Demon elders and asked coldly, “What? Do you all want to fight?”
The elders shivered and quickly replied with apologetic smiles, bowing respectfully, “Is the lord joking? We came to pay our respects to the lord!”
The other side had just attacked Donaire, and they'd been about to help Donaire, since he was the future of the True Demon race. But how could they have anticipated that he would be so incompetent as to become restrained immediately? Their charge thus left them in an awkward position. They were also shocked by the Lord of Slaughter’s power. The situation was far beyond their control, leaving them completely convinced of the hopelessness of their position.
“Hmph, I didn’t think you would dare," the 'Lord of Slaughter' remarked.
Salamay harrumphed proudly and suggested to the ‘Lord of Slaughter’ with a smile, “Dad, how about we start the blood sacrifice now?”
“Blood sacrifice? What blood sacrifice?” ‘Zu An’ sounded really angry and flustered, shouting in protest.
The ‘Lord of Slaughter’ gave ‘Zu An’ a look. The one who was acting now had to be Dark Jing Teng. Her older sister was definitely not the type to be so invested in acting. He quickly said, “Fine.”
Meanwhile, he said to Pei Mianman, “Don’t worry, I just need to see the blood sacrifice formation she's using first.”
The Lord of Slaughter’s plan was something only the father and daughter knew. The real Lord of Slaughter had already died, so the only one who knew it now was Salamay.
When she heard that, Salamay’s smile grew even bigger. She quickly gave Ollie instructions to arrange the blood sacrifice formation.
Ollie drew a six-pointed star on the ground with all sorts of other complicated runes surrounding it.
Salamay arranged the women on different corners of the star. Her brows furrowed and she said, “It’s a pity that we lost a saintess.”
Thus, she ordered a subordinate to grab the most outstanding Demon race woman among the guides to make up for that. She remembered that there were a few among the guides that were decent. Even though they were no saintess, they were acceptable. Thus, the subordinate quickly left.
‘Zu An’ couldn't help but exclaim angrily, “Salamay, what kind of nonsense is this? Didn’t we already agree to become allies?!”
Salamay didn’t pay him any attention, and walked up to the women instead. She looked at their beautiful faces and clicked her tongue. The last one she stopped at was Pei Mianman. She propped up the latter's chin with a hand and said, “You truly are all absurdly beautiful. No wonder Donaire liked you so much, leaving me with no choice but to kill a genius like him.”
“What is the meaning of this, Salamay?!” ‘Zu An’ was still doing her best to keep up the act. Dark Jing Teng almost screamed out loud about how fun this was.
But it’d be even better if this woman dragged a knife across those other women's faces a few times.
Wait, don’t do that. That Zu kid will definitely get mad. We can forget about the knife, just let them suffer a bit.
“You have nothing to blame but the fact that you're a romantic. You even killed the Monster Lord’s Manager Pi for these women's sake,” Salamay said with some pity. She'd always seen Donaire as a genius, but she had no choice but to get rid of him.
“I wasn’t the one who killed General Pi!” ‘Zu An’ explained.
“Whether you killed him or not makes no difference.” Salamay shook her head. “I know you care a lot about these women. Now that I'm using them for a blood sacrifice, I know you'll definitely never forgive me. Even if you show allegiance on the outside, you'll definitely plot revenge down the line. In the past, my father was betrayed precisely because he kept someone with rapacious designs at his side.”
The ‘Lord of Slaughter’ had a strange expression. He knew the one she was talking about was most likely the Monster Lord.
Wasn’t the Lord of Slaughter sealed by the people of the Cultivation World? Why did she call the Monster Lord a traitor?
“A blood sacrifice?” ‘Zu An’ frowned. “What do you mean?”
“We're going to use their bloodline power to activate this treasure, to unlock the spacetime fragment that father concealed here.” Salamay had an impassioned expression. Whenever she thought of it, her father’s plan always made her extremely excited.
The women's expressions all changed when they heard that. Ji Xiaoxi was so scared that her little face turned deathly pale. Even the usually collected Jiang Luofu was a bit flustered. Even though she didn’t fear death, no one wanted to die in such a strange way. She reflexively looked toward ‘Zu An’, feeling a bit confused.
What is wrong with Ah Zu recently?
Even though this man was sometimes mischievous, he was still reliable overall. And yet this time, he'd been ambushed and caught completely unprepared.
Sigh, forget it. The fact that we're able to die together is something to be grateful for.
Salamay had the smile of a victor as she picked up the cinnabar brush to paint strange patterns between the women's brows. Zu An carefully examined the appearance of these patterns. Gradually, he began to realize some things.
Just then, something strange happened. When Salamay was passing by Ollie, he suddenly attacked her. Salamay was fully content with her achievements, so how could she react in time? She immediately had her throat grabbed and was unable to move at all.
“You dare?!” Mojard, who had been silently admiring her figure the entire time, rushed over to save her. He grabbed at Ollie’s head, his fingers resembling claws. However, who would have expected Ollie to just casually retaliate with a palm strike?
When the two hands met, Mojard felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was blown back ferociously and slammed heavily into a pillar to the side, slumping to the ground. He reflexively tried to crawl up, but he coughed out a mouthful of blood as soon as he got up. He was powerless to rise again.
The others were horrified when they saw that. After all, Mojard had always been Salamay’s most powerful subordinate. Why had he immediately been injured to this extent?
