Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 676: Chapter 446: Dark Evil, Downfall! (Double-length)

”I’ve already said, Marshal Hu, guard your city well tonight; let my Su Family handle everything else!”

The two elder Grandmasters spoke softly but with extreme determination.

Hu Tomb hesitated, but since the Su Family had already overturned the table first, he couldn’t hold back any longer and decided to unleash a vast amount of Master’s Power to force his way through.

Since the Su Family wouldn’t let him go, he insisted on going to see what the Su Family was planning!

On the other side, Hu Donghuo had already spotted the giant bull body, towering over a hundred zhang.

”The Black Soul Nether Bull!” Hu Donghuo recognized the identity of this Bull Demon, confirming it was undoubtedly a Great Demon!

The Black Soul Nether Bull clan was one of the prominent Demon Realm families occupying An Province; it was immensely famous and had produced countless Great Demons, indeed a Great Demon race.

He couldn’t fathom why a Black Soul Nether Bull would suddenly descend outside the main city, nor did he have time to ponder.

Seeing this Bull Demon frantically devouring the lives and flesh of his subordinate soldier generals, he was filled with anger, his entire being boiling with murderous intent.

At this moment, the Bull Demon seemed to sense Hu Donghuo’s approach, stared distantly for a moment, then unexpectedly halted its flesh-devouring frenzy, transforming into a massive billowing black smoke as it fled into the distance.

Clearly, it had no intention of being caught by Hu Donghuo.

After all, there were many noble family ancestors in Cui Bai Main City, all of whom were Martial Tao Grandmasters; if they were alerted, it would be difficult for it to escape even as a Great Demon.

Choosing to flee at this moment showed it had some rationality left.

A few breaths later, Hu Donghuo appeared outside the encampment, looking at the scene below filled with mournful cries and countless casualties, gritting his teeth in anger.

”Great, Great Marshal, do not pursue too hard, this Great Demon appeared too suspiciously, I’m afraid...”

Within the encampment, a general who had narrowly escaped looked at Hu Donghuo, who had driven away the Great Demon, with relief but felt the situation was odd, intending to advise Hu Donghuo to remain calm.

However, before he could finish speaking, Hu Donghuo transformed into a flash of light and chased after it.

He too had his considerations.

If this Great Demon showed up at the borders of Cui Bai, the threat it posed wouldn’t be as severe.

But now, with this Great Demon appearing directly outside the main city, the situation was entirely different.

If he didn’t pursue and stop it, who knows what chaos this Great Demon would wreak.

Because this was a destruction-bearing Great Demon, allowing it free rein could lead to an unmanageable catastrophe!

The Bull Demon’s power was immense and destructive, yet its escape speed was not particularly fast.

After a period of pursuit, Hu Donghuo intercepted it at the borders of Cui Bai Dao.

Without unnecessary words, man and demon engaged in a life-and-death struggle.

”Human brat, with your meager cultivation and Tao practice, you dare chase me? You’re seeking death!” the Bull Demon roared fiercely.

Though Hu Donghuo was extraordinarily talented with considerable potential for future development in Martial Tao, he was recently promoted to Martial Tao Grandmaster; in this confrontation with the Bull Demon, he soon began to fall behind.

Hu Donghuo remained silent; his goal was clear: to hold this Great Demon in place.

No matter whether Hu Tomb or other noble family Grandmasters were in the main city, once alerted, they would come to support.

Given the mobility of Martial Tao Grandmasters, he believed they could arrive quickly.

His assumptions were correct, as a Martial Tao Grandmaster indeed followed shortly afterward, arriving at the scene.

Unfortunately, before Hu Donghuo could let go of his breath, a white-robed elder spoke coldly, ”Old Niu, why stop here when you were supposed to lead them out of Cui Bai Dao?”

Hu Donghuo suddenly felt as if plunged into an icy abyss.

”Moo, Old Niu runs slowly; I’ve done my best. Please, sir, forgive me,” the Bull Demon responded, its crude voice unusually flattering.

It was clear that despite being a Great Demon, the Bull Demon feared this human race white-robed elder.

”You are that wandering Su Family ancestor?!” Hu Donghuo now recognized the other party’s identity.

This person was none other than Su Dong Pill.

If there was a time when the Hu Family faced the most severe oppression after the Great King took power with Su Family’s backing, it was undoubtedly during the tenure of this Su Family ancestor.

Not only was this person powerful, but his methods were also extremely ruthless and venomous; the Hu Family suffered many losses when they were yet to firmly establish themselves in Cui Bai Dao.

If it weren’t for the Emperor Yun’s backing, the Hu Family, along with the young Prince Cui, would likely have been overwhelmed.

Only after Su Dong Pill roamed the Nine Provinces, leaving Cui Bai Dao, did the Hu Family and the imperial family see a chance for revival.

Subsequently, this person did not return for decades, and both Prince Cui and Hu Tomb hoped he had long fallen outside, dead and gone.

Yet today, Hu Donghuo understood that not only did their wish fail to materialize.

His current situation had also become perilous.

Judging by the dialogue, this Bull Demon was clearly sent by this Su Family ancestor!

It’s not hard to guess; the target his opponent intended to deal with could only be him and the Hu Family behind him!

Only now did he somewhat regret his impulsiveness tonight.

...

The next day, as the sun rose, the Cloud Palace was bathed in the golden brilliance of the morning light, radiant and dazzling.

This Imperial Banquet was finally concluded at this moment.

Ministers bowed, princes departed, and everyone dispersed and left.

Descending the steps back to the ground, Prince Xia bid farewell to Prince Cui.

”Old Hu, remember to come to Purple Mist Dao for a few days someday.”

”Certainly.” Prince Cui smiled, about to say more when suddenly feeling something, he took out a Communication Jade Scroll.
