LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 38 — Votes.

With his physical strength as strong as naaga, Fu Yu attacked the eight Devils fearlessly.

Within a few minutes, five of the eight Devils Lijian had created had been easily destroyed.

Lijian was also aware that his still low cultivation level was unable to display the peak strength of the eight-devil Slaughter Formation. Otherwise, then each of the Devils he created with this formation would have a height of no less than ten meters.

However, the self-esteem he had did not allow him to lose. Moreover, Fu Yu had blatantly dared to bully Heilong who was the face of the entire Zhao Clan ever since Demon King Zhao announced Heilong as his successor.

Lijian raised both of her fingers to face the sky and took an oath. “I swear on my source inside the Devil's Birth Lake that I must kill you even if I have to die.”

Instantly, the sky began to rumble and the Devil's Birth Lake also churned as if approving Lijian's vow. For such oaths cannot be broken unless one of them is dead.

The Qi of darkness and the demonic air that was inside Lijian's body suddenly surged uncontrollably after she took the oath. It was as if he was gaining additional strength from the Demon Birth Lake and the Dark Origin Tree.

“Haha ... Fu Yu, it seems that fate also wants your death.”

Lijian again did some hand seal movements that were immediately responded by the remaining three formations.

Under the control of the three formations that had been strengthened, the three Devils began to merge and transform into an eight-meter-high demon figure carrying a pair of swords.

Fu Yu frowned and muttered softly. “Did the oath he just uttered have received a response from the Devil's Birth Lake? Because, there was nothing that could explain the sudden increase in his strength other than the interference from the Demon Birth Lake. Lijian is indeed a pure demon who was born from the Demon Lake.”

Fu Yu was a demon born from a pair of Devils from the Fu Clan so he was not born from the Demon Birth Lake and was not part of a pure demon. Therefore, he did not obtain much benefit even though his current location was quite close to the Demon Birth Lake.

On the other hand, the other change in strength that Lijian currently possessed had left Heilong and Fu Yu confused. Especially Fu Yu who became increasingly threatened with Lijian's appearance like this.

However, Fu Yu had no choice but to continue fighting because the oath Lijian had made him unable to escape. Lijian would chase him anywhere until he killed him.

Fu Yu finally blew up all the Qi present within his body and left back a little bit of his physical strength. However, this effort felt futile in front of the eight-meter high demon. He became a little sorry for not hearing the advice of his clan members back then and preferred to stay here to provoke Heilong and Lijian.

The few powerful blows that Fu Yu unleashed did not reveal any effect to the Devils at all.

“Fu Yu … !! Accept 'that's your death.”

Lijian directly gave the order to the demonic figure standing in front of him at this moment to immediately kill Fu Yu.

However, an extremely violent fluctuation of energy from the Space Dao suddenly appeared in this place and stopped the attack of that demonic figure in midair. Though the distance of the attack with Fu Yu's neck was already very heard only a few inches high.

“Enough! You two are from the same Race even though you are under the auspices of different Clans. Then what good are you two killing each other like this. Wouldn't it be better if you cultivate and benefit as much as possible from the Devil's Birth Lake.”

The voice of a woman who sounded quite soft yet radiated an extremely majestic feel suddenly resounded in this place. However, it was just a voice without a figure.

“Princess!?” Fu Yu seemed to know who the figure of the owner of this voice was. “I'm innocent! Lijian wanted to kill me first so what I am doing right now could be considered self-protecting. Moreover, that useless Ranger also intends to steal my medicinal plants.”

“Shut! Do you think I have no idea what really happened in this place? There's no point in you lying because I've been watching you ever since you left the pavilion for no apparent reason. Now I command you to go back and give all the medicinal herbs that are in this place to the two of them as compensation for the mistakes you have made.”

The voice instantly disappeared along with the disappearance of the energy fluctuation of the power of the Space Dao after the owner of the voice reprimanded Fu Yu nonstop.

The sword slash attack of Lijian's demonic figure also disappeared being swallowed by the power of the Space Dao.

Heilong became curious as to who the female figure behind the voice was. If he could meet her then that woman could definitely help him to train his Space Dao ability.

The hint that Heilong currently had that the owner of the voice was a woman from the Fu Clan and seemed to have quite a high status.

Fu Yu directly left this place without saying a word as he was already too embarrassed to be in this place. After all, there was already nothing else that he had to take care of in this place.

Lijian also immediately disappeared all the formations he had made and immediately sat down from exhaustion. “I finally won. But, I couldn't calm down before I managed to kill that man.”

“You will definitely have many chances to kill that man after you successfully increased the cultivation you have.” Heilong approached Lijian and immediately helped her up.

“You're right, Pengeran.”, Lijian nodded in agreement.

“Do you know who the owner of the voice just now is?” heilong was still curious.

Lijian shook her head. “ I don't know. During my time in the Underworld, I rarely interacted with the members of the Fu Clan because they were all extremely arrogant and unruly.”

Heilong did not doubt Lijian's answer at all. He had also seen for himself that Fu Yu had the same traits as Lijian had described.

A figure of a middle-aged man wearing the special clothes of the Zhao Clan was seen from a distance was flying towards this place. It seemed that the middle-aged man was a member of the Zhao Clan that Demon King Zhao had sent to pick them up.
