Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Brother, what on earth is this?" Qianying asked worriedly.

"I don't know. Let's not separate and be alert to our surroundings." Qian Shang held the sword in one hand and Qian Ying's hand in the other. The two walked slowly forward back to back.

"How about we use the Sky Sentry?" Qianying said worriedly.

"We don't know what potential dangers there are here, so we can't let them take risks." Qian Shang frowned and said seriously.

"I didn't expect the young man to be so kind-hearted, haha..." The laughing voice suddenly began to speak, the sound was clear and pleasant, like a silver bell, like a young child.

Qian Shang and Qian Ying looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. It was incredible that this laughter could actually speak, and it was such a childish voice.

"Who are you? Why are you acting like a ghost here?" Qian Shang asked vigilantly, tightening his grip on the sword.

"It doesn't matter who I am. You are a couple, right? Why do you come here?" the voice suddenly asked again, with a bit of curiosity and teasing in the tone.

Qian Shang and Qian Ying looked at each other again, and their faces flushed. They secretly wondered why he suddenly asked such a question.

"Did you capture those humans?" Qianying asked vigilantly with a frown.

"Why should I capture humans?" the voice suddenly asked, with a tone full of doubt.

"Since you didn't capture any humans, why did you trap the two of us here?" Qian Shang asked in confusion.

"I'm just bored. Who asked you to disturb my peace?"

After saying this, the voice fell silent and the surroundings fell into silence.

Qianshang and Qianying stared at their surroundings closely, trying to find the source of the mysterious sound. However, apart from the biting cold wind, they found nothing.

Suddenly, a black figure suddenly jumped out.

Qian Shang and Qian Ying exchanged glances, and they both swung their swords at the figure. For a moment, the three figures were entangled together, and the sound of swords clashing was very pleasant in the ice cave.

"Stop, stop fighting." After a moment, the voice suddenly roared, and at this moment, Qian Shang and Qian Ying's swords were placed across her neck.

I saw that the other person was a short girl, about eleven or twelve years old.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Why did you deliberately set up a maze to stop us from moving forward?" Qian Shang asked a series of questions.

"You asked so many questions, which one should I answer first?" the little girl asked with a sigh.

"Stop talking nonsense and answer quickly." Qianying shook the sword at her neck.

"No, I said. I am the mountain god here." The little girl had a depressed expression on her face, pouting her lips, and looked like she was about to cry.

"Mountain God?" Qian Shang and Qian Ying asked at the same time, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. They looked at each other and then looked at the little girl.

"I really am a mountain god. My name is Qiao Yin, and I am the new mountain god of Fanli Mountain." Seeing their suspicious looks, Qiao Yin immediately explained anxiously, as if she was afraid that they would not believe her.

"A new mountain god? What about the previous mountain god?" Qianying asked curiously.

"Of course he got promoted! It seemed like he went to the upper realm, but I don't know the details." Qiao Yin answered vaguely.

"If that's the case, then why did you deliberately set up a maze to trap us?" Qianying continued to ask.

"I didn't trap you. I did this to protect myself." Qiao Yin defended herself with a look of grievance on her face, with a hint of sob in her voice.

"Protect yourself?" Qiao Yin's answer surprised the two of them.

"The snow came early this winter, and it was very heavy. Naturally, the snow accumulated much thicker than in previous years. A powerful snow monster came from somewhere, and insisted that I was cute and wanted to eat me." Qiao Yin said pitifully, and deliberately lifted the hair at her ears to tease Qian Shang.

"Little girl. Do you know what you are doing?" Qianying was a little amused by her action.

Qian Shang also looked away awkwardly. He was actually being teased by a half-grown child.

"I know. Don't look down on me because I'm young. I'm over 800 years old." Qiao Yin said in a mature manner.

"More than eight hundred years old? Then why are you like this?" Qianying asked puzzled.

"We, the Thoreau clan, are the ancient wood fairies. It takes three thousand years for us to be considered an adult. I am eight hundred years old now, so naturally I should be like this!" Qiao Yin explained seriously.

"The Thoreau clan? The ancient wood fairy?"

Qianshang and Qianying both found it very novel. They didn't expect that the Thoreau tree could actually become an immortal, and a mountain god at that. However, this mountain god was so weak that he was frightened by a snow demon and imprisoned himself in a circle.

"Yes, I have been trapped here for more than half a month and I dare not go out. Now that you are here, I naturally have to keep you to play with me." Qiao Yin sounded more and more aggrieved, staring at Qianying, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

"Have you ever seen the snow monster? Have you seen it capture any human beings nearby?" Qian Shang asked.

"I have seen the snow demon. She was a beautiful woman with white hair. As for the human race, I haven't seen them. I don't dare to leave here." Qiao Yin recalled.

"In that case, we won't make things difficult for you. Remove the maze and let us out. We are going to catch the snow monster." Qian Shang said.

"Okay, but you have to take me with you. I'm scared." Qiao Yin said as she reached out and pulled the corner of Qian Shang's clothes.

"Junior sister..." Qian Shang looked at Qian Ying inquiringly, meaning that he had no other thoughts and it was this girl who was pestering him.

"If she wants to follow, let her follow." Qianying smiled helplessly. A little girl couldn't do anything bad.

Qiao Yin cast a spell to remove the maze, and the three of them continued to walk deeper into the forest.

Zi Yan is here

Chu Yan followed Zi Yan quietly. He wanted to talk to Zi Yan at first, but she simply ignored him. He was too embarrassed to say anything and could only follow her awkwardly.

Their route was different from that of the other two teams. The other two teams took a roundabout way up the mountain, but they climbed directly up. The snow was piled thickly, making it difficult to walk.

Not far behind them, a figure followed quietly. The person was wearing a moon-white gown and was hidden in the snow, so it was not easy to find at first glance.

"Silly dog, today I will make sure you never come back." As soon as these words came out, it was Sa Yulong who had not appeared for a long time.

Yunji Villa has a rule that new disciples will undergo trials every three years. In order to hone their independence, they are not allowed to be followed by old disciples. Therefore, there was not a single old disciple following them in this trial.

Sa Yulong has been holding a grudge against Zi Yan ever since she was punished to be confined in the Shadowless Cave. Many disciples no longer dare to approach Zi Yan because of her status as the adopted daughter of the high priest, but Sa Yulong has been watching everything about her, both openly and covertly.

Zi Yan practiced very hard in Yunji Mountain Villa and never left the mountain gate. Even if Sa Yulong wanted to take revenge, she couldn't find a chance. The new disciple trial held every three years was a rare opportunity, so she followed him all the way.

Halfway through the journey, a white shadow flashed by like a ghost, so fast that it was impossible to see its appearance clearly.

Zi Yan and Chu Yan drew out their swords at the same time in a cautious manner.

The white shadow appeared again, and Zi Yan used sword techniques to attack directly and quickly.

The white shadow dodged quickly and missed the attack, so Chu Yan raised his sword and went forward to meet it.

Bai Ying dodged the attack again and transformed into a woman with skin as white as snow, delicate and fair, lips like cherries, eyes like stars, and a face like a silver plate who appeared in front of the two.

Zi Yan looked at the other person warily, and Chu Yan was also attracted by that peerless beauty.

The woman stretched out her slender white fingers and gently and charmingly brushed her cheeks, red lips, and neck. Her eyes were blurred and seductive.

"Beauty..." Chu Yan's hand suddenly loosened, the sword fell to the ground, and he walked slowly towards the woman with a dull look in his eyes.

"Come back..." Zi Yan shouted, reached out and pulled the dazed Chu Yan over, and slapped him hard in the face with the backhand.

"Pah..." Chu Yan came back to his senses and looked at Zi Yan in confusion.

"Don't look into her eyes." Zi Yan shouted.

Chu Yan then realized that something was wrong and hurriedly bent down to pick up the sword.

When the woman saw that Zi Yan had ruined the plan, she waved her sleeves and attacked Zi Yan.

Zi Yan hurriedly raised her sword and rushed forward, and instantly fought with the snow monster.

Seeing this, Chu Yan immediately stepped forward to help.

"Don't worry about me, just send out the Sky Whistle quickly." Zi Yan yelled.

"Okay." Chu Yan immediately took out the Tianshao he carried with him and fired it out, then picked up his sword and joined the fight.

"You little stinky girl, I wanted to let you go, but I didn't expect you to seek death. In that case, I will grant your wish today." The Snow Demon pushed his hands forward, and dense icy needles stabbed towards Zi Yan like drizzle, each of them flashing with cold light and extremely sharp.

Zi Yan was startled and quickly dodged. These ice needles were extremely fast, if she was stabbed by them, she would be turned into a hornet's nest in an instant!

"You still dare to hide from me? Let's see where you can hide!" The snow demon shouted angrily, with murderous intent in her eyes. Her fierce voice echoed in the air, deafening.

As the Snow Demon finished his words, more ice needles shot towards Zi Yan as densely as raindrops.

This time, the ice needles no longer just attacked from the front, but came from all directions, forming an impenetrable encirclement.

Zi Yan was shocked, and now she had nowhere to escape. After calming down, she thought of the Fire Control Technique that Helan Ruofeng taught her, and tried to use it to resist the attack of the ice needles.

"With my thoughts, I can draw on the divine fire and make it my shield. Command..." Zi Yan muttered to herself and made hand gestures. As she chanted, a powerful fire force emerged from around her.

As soon as the decree was issued, a raging fire instantly ignited around Zi Yan, forming a solid wall of fire. This wall of fire tightly surrounded Zi Yan and blocked the path of the ice needle.

The moment those ice needles flying at high speed touched the fire wall, they made a hissing sound, melted into water droplets and dripped down.

When the Snow Demon saw this scene, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of astonishment. She could never have imagined that this ordinary-looking yellow-haired girl could actually perform the Fire Control Technique.

"I didn't expect that a little girl like you could actually know the Fire Control Technique?" The Snow Demon's tone was full of surprise and disbelief.

"I didn't expect that you, a snow demon, actually knew the immortal sect's fire-controlling technique?" Zi Yan raised the corner of her mouth and responded sarcastically.

"But don't think you can escape death this way." The snow demon said and attacked again.

Ice needles attacked from all directions again. No, this time they were not ice needles, but ice cones as thick as wrists.

"Chu Yan, help me defend together." Zi Yan shouted.

Although she has good aptitude, she has only three years of cultivation. No matter how powerful her Fire Controlling Technique is, it is still supported by spiritual power. She obviously cannot withstand this wave of attacks alone. If Chu Yan is with her, she may be able to hold on for a little longer.

"Okay." Chu Yan immediately approached Zi Yan and leaned his back against her.

"Recite along with me." Zi Yan yelled.

"Use my thoughts to draw on the divine fire and form my shield. Command..."

Zi Yan and Chu Yan used the Fire Control Technique at the same time, and the fire wall was built again. It was indeed slightly stronger than the previous time.

The icicles pierced the fire wall and melted slowly. As the ones in front melted, the ones behind kept coming online.

Zi Yan and Chu Yan resisted with all their might and did not dare to relax even for a moment.

"Hahaha, let's see how long you can last." The snow demon laughed wildly.

"Miss Zi Yan, with our cultivation level, we can only hold out for half an hour at most before our spiritual energy is exhausted. By then, you and I will definitely die." Chu Yan said loudly.

"I know that if I surrender now, I won't die. The Snow Demon still won't let us go. Our only way now is to hold on and wait for them to rescue us." Zi Yan shouted.

How could she not know the danger at the moment? But now, except to fight hard, there was no other way to break the deadlock. She could only hope that the other two teams would see their signal and come to rescue in time.

Sa Yulong, who was hiding in the distance, saw this scene and was secretly happy. The opportunity had finally come! She changed her appearance, moved her feet carefully, and slowly approached the blind spot of Zi Yan and Chu Yan.

Her eyes flashed with a cunning light, and a powerful spiritual energy gradually gathered in her hands, transforming it into countless sharp swords that attacked Zi Yan.

Although Zi Yan had good hearing, she was concentrating on using the Fire Control Technique at the moment and had no time to deal with this sudden attack.

She secretly groaned in her heart, is it really the end this time?

At this critical moment, Helan Ruofeng and Yu Xiaobai arrived just in time like ghosts. Their figures were as fast as lightning, and they were beside Zi Yan in the blink of an eye.

"Preach, go..." With a low command, the Preaching Sword flew out at an astonishing speed, like a flash of lightning across the sky, accurately blocking all of Sa Yulong's attacks.

"Which shameless villain dares to hide in the corner and attack? Come out if you dare, I'll fight you." Yu Xiaobai shouted towards the distance.

"You talk too much nonsense. Why don't you come over and help?" Zi Yan and Chu Yan were already at the end of their strength. When they saw them, they shouted anxiously.

"I'll deal with the snow monster and make sure no one attacks us by surprise." Helan Ruofeng said to Yu Xiaobai.

"Okay." Yu Xiaobai responded, then summoned Mei Yu, held him in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

"Two more people coming to die?" The snow demon waved his arms and used his ultimate move. The surrounding wind and snow seemed to have life and instantly transformed into huge human figures, holding long swords in their hands and slashing at them madly.

The snowman opened his mouth and spit out a ball of white cold air, freezing the air around him into ice.

Helan Ruofeng held the preaching sword, narrowly dodged the snowman's attack, and swung the sword at the snow monster at an astonishing speed.

When the Snow Demon saw this, his face changed and he quickly dodged to the side.

At the same time, the sharp ice cones that were originally besieging Zi Yan and Chu Yan also lost the support of the snow demon's power and fell to the ground one after another.

Zi Yan and Chu Yan finally got rid of their restraints and collapsed to the ground with their hands weak.

At this moment, Sa Yulong took the opportunity to launch a second sneak attack. With a cunning light in her eyes, she took out the rain pear blossoms that were soaked in evil spirits and shot them at Zi Yan.

"Be careful!" Before Zi Yan could react to what was happening, Yu Xiaobai had already waved the Mei Yu in his hand and quickly blocked the attack for her.
