279: Goodbye, Dimensional Bull

"Oh?"

The Lion Demon struggled to open its eyes. "Try fighting that Blue Star person; let me see your current strength."

Hearing this, the bull demon turned its head to look at Xiao Weiqing.

"It's you!"

"Damn it!"

The bull demon was enraged upon seeing Xiao Weiqing, its eyes glaring like copper bells.

"You know him?"

The Lion Demon Demigod asked playfully.

Xiao Weiqing was startled and full of confusion; he didn't remember ever seeing this big guy.

"Lord Demigod, I told you that my clansmen were all killed by the Human Race. He is one of them. Back then, he knocked me off a cliff. I barely survived, living ignobly until by a stroke of luck, I arrived here."

"I have Cultivated hard, and everything I've done is for revenge. Truly, even the gods are helping me, letting me encounter my enemy here."

"It's not the gods helping you, it's me!"

The Lion Demon's tone suddenly turned cold.

"I'm sorry, Lord Demigod."

The bull demon quickly lowered its head and admitted its mistake; it had forgotten that this lord harbored deep hatred toward the gods.

Beside them, Xiao Weiqing was dumbfounded.

No way.

"Is this... that Bull of the Plane?"

Did you freaking take hormones? How could you grow this big in just one year?

When it rains, it pours. To think he'd run into him here?

Not only did this guy not die, but he even obtained a Demigod's Legacy?

Damn it!

In the plot that follows, is he going to be treated as a villain and just get offed?

At that moment.

The Lion Demon spoke again, "Gu Yu, remember our deal. Otherwise, not only will you fail to get your revenge, but you will also die here—and it will be a fate worse than death."

"I know, Lord Demigod. I will certainly follow your orders," Gu Yu said, bowing his head.

"Mhm. Go, fight this Blue Star person."

"Blue Star person, what is your name?"

Facing the Lion Demon's question, Xiao Weiqing lowered his head and said, "Junior Qin Weixiao."

"Qin Weixiao, fight Gu Yu, but you must not take his life. Otherwise, you die!"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Facing this demand, Xiao Weiqing actually breathed a slight sigh of relief; this meant he was still useful for the time being.

"Junior understands. It's to guide him."

"No, not guide. As long as you don't endanger his life, the rest is up to you."

After saying this, the Lion Demon closed its eyes.

Regarding this.

Gu Yu was very displeased. He didn't believe Xiao Weiqing was his match. He had now cultivated his Great Demon True Body and stepped into the Great Demon Realm.

He was no longer the person he once was. He wanted revenge, he wanted to wipe away his past humiliation, and he wanted to slaughter this Blue Star person.

Thinking of this.

Gu Yu did not hesitate. He lunged forward, turning into an afterimage, and threw a punch at Xiao Weiqing, his eyes filled with hatred.

Boom!

Xiao Weiqing struck second but arrived first, landing a palm on Gu Yu's chest.

The massive body flew backward, crashed into a stone pillar, and slowly slumped to the ground.

A full half-minute passed.

Gu Yu spat out a mouthful of blood. He was dazed; what had just happened?

It shouldn't be like this.

Right, I underestimated the enemy.

"Moo~~"

A sonorous sound echoed through the hall.

Gu Yu revealed his Great Demon True Body. A two-zhang-tall Wild Bull appeared. Its hind hooves stomped the ground, and its massive horns charged toward Xiao Weiqing as if to gore a hole through him.

Facing the wall-like Wild Bull.

Xiao Weiqing leaped lightly, Protective Aura condensing on his hand, and threw a punch down at the bull's head.

Thud!

The massive Wild Bull demon suddenly stiffened, its pupils dilated, and it toppled rigidly to its side with a loud crash.

Rumble~~

"Senior, he has fainted."

"Mhm, continue tomorrow."

The Lion Demon didn't open its eyes, replying casually.

Xiao Weiqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, contemplating his next move.

From the current situation, that bull was favored by the Demigod. They had some kind of deal; the Demigod was nurturing him, and he himself was being kept as a whetstone for that bull.

Additionally.

From the brief conversation, he could gather several pieces of information. This Demigod seemed to hate the gods intensely.

Also, he must have been imprisoned here for over a hundred years, because this Lion Clan Demigod had never heard of Blue Star civilization.

After thinking it over.

He still hadn't found any information that could help him escape his predicament.

Looking at the cold walls around him, Xiao Weiqing felt a bit of despair. There were no exits; the only path to the outside was that freezing pool.

Putting aside whether he could escape right under the Demigod's nose, even in the outside world, there were still two Great Demon Kings waiting for him. Several days had passed by now; they had likely called for reinforcements and surrounded the area.

Was he really going to be used as a whetstone and eventually be killed by that bull demon?

...The outside world.

Above the mountain range.

Two Lion Demons with powerful auras appeared.

Behind them followed the Crane Demon and a Pig Demon. At this moment, the two demons were trembling with fear, not daring to breathe loudly.

One of the Lion Demons looked at the mountain range below and asked coldly, "Do you know your crimes?"

The Pig Demon Great Demon King quickly explained, "Demigod Yutian, this matter is not..."

"Demigod Yutian, we admit our guilt, but we were also acting on orders. We truly didn't expect this human to be so cunning. Right now, we should first drag him out, otherwise, disturbing the one in the Forbidden Ground would truly be a great sin," the Crane Demon interjected in time. In front of a Demigod, making excuses was pointless.

Demigod Yutian ignored the two Great Demon Kings and instead said to the Lion Demon beside him, "Yantian, what do you think?"

The two Great Demon Kings remained with their heads bowed, waiting for Demigod Yantian's words.

"Litian would rather give his Legacy to the Wild Bull Clan than leave it to the Lion Clan. It seems he is truly determined not to bow his head."

Demigod Yutian said, "I've watched Litian grow up since he was a child. I know his temperament all too well. If he were the type to bow his head, it wouldn't have come to this."

Yantian shook his head. "We are about to invade the Blue Star world. It's better to settle domestic matters first. Otherwise, if it happens again, Litian won't be so easy to suppress. He obtained the Legacy of a human True God; when he reached Demigod, his strength was more than a level above ours. Hengtian also perished because of that."

Demigod Yutian fell silent, recalling that battle. It took the three of them barely defeating Demigod Litian, and in the end, Demigod Hengtian died of heavy injuries.

Originally, their Lion Clan was the undisputed number one race in the Demon Realm, but they hadn't expected to suddenly lose two Demigods.

The two Great Demon Kings were shocked to hear the conversation between the two Demigods.

They had heard of Demigod Litian, but that was a long time ago, back when they were only in the Great Demon Realm.

The Lion Clan itself was the leader of the Yao Race and had three Demigods. Other races generally only had one, and many smaller races had none at all.

Two hundred years ago.

The powerful Lion Clan suddenly had another Demigod rise up. He was incredibly strong and at one point defeated the three veteran Demigods. It was said he was to succeed as the new Clan Chief and become the leader of the Yao Race.

This person was Demigod Litian.

However.

For some reason, just before the succession, Litian suddenly disappeared. Along with him, another Demigod of the Lion Clan also vanished.

It appeared now that it was actually internal strife within the Lion Clan, but why?

"Yantian, bring those three little fellows from the clan here. If Litian gives the Legacy to that little bull demon, so be it. I'm just afraid Litian might give the Legacy to that human—that would be troublesome."

Demigod Yantian said, "Surely not. No matter what, Litian is a member of the Lion Clan and belongs to the Yao Race."

Demigod Yutian shook his head. "You don't understand. Despite being of our Lion God lineage, Litian didn't have a trace of the Lion God Bloodline in his body. He suffered endless humiliation as a child."

"I think that is also the reason for his extreme style of conduct. Two hundred years have passed, and he still refuses to yield. No one can guarantee he won't do something crazy."
