Chapter 85 - Death of the Second Elder

Kong Rui pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, Chao Bai looked at the Second Elder, who was dripping with blood. “I need your blood to kill him.”

Kong Rui was stunned and looked at Chao Bai in confusion.

Seeing that Kong Rui was only looking at him in confusion but didn’t suspect anything, Chao Bai smiled slightly. “We can only stop the secret technique of the demons with the blood of the Demon Clan.”

Kong Rui didn’t hesitate and immediately asked Chao Bai, “What should I do?”

Chao Bai reached out and grabbed Kong Rui’s hand, his fingers sliding down Kong Rui’s palm.

His flesh ruptured and blood instantly gushed out.

Kong Rui blinked and looked at the wound on her hand. Although it was deep, she didn’t feel any pain.

As Chao Bai’s finger moved, Kong Rui’s blood seemed to be sucked out and condensed into a ball in midair.

Then, Chao Bai’s finger moved slightly, and the ball of blood shot in the direction where Chao Bai’s finger was pointing.

Kong Rui watched as the blood fell between the Second Elder’s eyebrows. It was as if a ball of fire had fallen and started burning from the center of the Second Elder’s eyebrows.

The Second Elder didn’t seem to realize that his body had begun to burn. He raised his bloody hand in confusion and touched the burning spot.

Even though Kong Rui had lived in the Demon Abyss for a few years, she had never seen such a strange situation.

After a while, the ball of fire that was originally emitting red and yellow flames instantly ignited the demonic energy around the Second Elder.

Terrifying cries sounded from the demonic energy, one after another, as if there were countless vengeful spirits hidden in it.

Kong Rui stared intently at the Second Elder, whose entire body was burning.

At this moment, the Second Elder’s entire body had already tensed up because of the intense flames. Crackling sounds came from his throat, as if he was struggling to ask for help before death.

As the flames burned, the blood energy behind the Second Elder kept surging, as if something was about to break through the memorial wall behind him.

The Second Elder fell to the ground and twitched. His turbid eyes instantly looked more lucid.

Kong Rui took a step forward and stood in front of the Second Elder.

The Second Elder seemed to have finally regained his senses. He blinked and reached out to Kong Rui. “You are… Ling’er?”

“Ling’er, save me… save me…” As the Second Elder spoke, the last bit of his strength was exhausted by the burning demonic energy.

His charred arm was raised high, and the palm was spread out in Kong Rui’s direction, as if it was begging for something.

Kong Rui looked at the Second Elder, who was already charred black, and clenched her wounds that had yet to recover. “Go down and atone for those people you killed!”

After Chao Bai glanced at the Second Elder, he turned to look at Kong Rui’s hand.

He pulled Kong Rui’s hand up.

Kong Rui struggled, but seeing that Chao Bai only wanted to check her wound, she said, “It’s just a small wound. It’ll heal in a while.”

Chao Bai had just taken out a healing pill when he saw that Kong Rui’s wound was actually much smaller than before. He looked at the wound in surprise with a frown before looking up at Kong Rui. “What’s going on?”

Kong Rui shrugged. She didn’t intend to explain too much to Chao Bai.

“What should we do with him?” Kong Rui pointed at the charred person in front of her with her chin.

No one would notice the wound on her hand after it healed, but how should they deal with the Second Elder’s corpse?

Chao Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly. Then, he pointed two fingers in the direction of the Second Elder’s corpse.

Kong Rui looked at the white light that suddenly appeared around the Second Elder’s corpse.

In the next moment, the white circle emitted a dazzling light.

Kong Rui covered her eyes. When the light faded, the Second Elder’s corpse was already gone.

“Where did it go?” Kong Rui frowned and looked at the bloodstains on the ground.

“It’s just a small array formation. I sent him to the wilderness to nourish the land!” Chao Bai shrugged indifferently.

Although Kong Rui was a little critical of Chao Bai’s act of throwing trash around, she could only reluctantly accept it.

Her gaze was attracted by the blood mark on the ground. Following the direction of the blood mark, her gaze landed on the crack that the Second Elder had walked out of. She saw that there were still waves of blood light flickering in the memorial wall.

Kong Rui and Chao Bai exchanged looks. Then, the two of them walked towards the memorial wall together in silence.
