Chapter 846: Blood Demon (1/2)

Whoosh!

The stark-white bone arrow whistled through the air when the elder loosed his bow, arriving in front of Lu Yun’s throat almost instantaneously.

So fast! The thought had just arisen in his mind when a bitter almond taste welled up in his throat.

“It’s poisoned!” It suddenly connected that he knew this poison. He’d encountered it before when tasting all of those herbs and it’d almost killed him. It was a deadly poison similar to the Poison Arrow Trees of ancient China, and he’d written down in the Myriad Herbs Classic that it was exceedingly dangerous. [1]

To think that the Dongyi would already be making use of this poison!

Thankfully, his own reflexes were extremely fast. He shifted to the side a split second before the poison arrow sank into his throat and evaded the terrifying attack by the skin of his teeth. But before he could twitch another muscle, the Dongyi elder leapt into the air and grabbed Lu Yun by the throat.

So fast!

Though the elder’s cultivation was less than Shennong’s, he could kill Shennong ten times over without breaking a sweat!

“Lie Shan!” Two beams of green light flared from the elder’s eyes as he glared at Lu Yun, whose eyelids twitched when he saw those eyes.

“You’re not a Dongyi member, you’re, you’re…” Though he struggled, the elder’s strength was too overwhelming. A terrifying power flooded Lu Yun’s body and restrained every fiber of his being.

“That’s right, it’s me!” forced out the Dongyi elder through clenched teeth. “I’ve finally got you, Lie Shan! So you come from the future! Should I snap your neck now while you’re weak and fragile?”

Lu Yun goggled with stupefaction. This elder was the demon god’s master, Luo Houluo!

When the ancient ruin exploded, Lu Yun and the little fox weren’t the only ones affected. If they could travel through spacetime and land in this era, then so could Luo Houluo.

Though Fuxi was the mastermind behind everything, there were many details that he couldn’t control.

The little fox was likewise restrained, but Luo Houluo seemed to bear some reservations and didn’t dare touch her, so she quietly remained in Lu Yun’s embrace.

“It’d be as easy as snapping a finger if you wanted to kill me. Since you haven’t, that means I still hold some value for you,” Lu Yun responded calmly.

“Damned human and your strong will.” Luo Houluo lightly knocked his knuckles on the youth’s head, but didn’t reveal his true form.

When he returned to this era, he’d taken possession of a Dongyi priest. However, as strong as he was, so was the priest’s will. Even though someone else had stolen his body, the priest forced his aggressor to stay and protect the Dongyi humans.

Luo Houluo wasn’t at liberty to go about his business, and if it wasn’t for him recognizing Lu Yun at this time, he’d probably still be on watch here, preventing the river god in the Yellow River from threatening the Dongyi Tribe.

One thing Lu Yun recalled from when he first met the demon god was that Luo Houluo had immediately recognized him and flew into a berserk rage. Could it be that Lu Yun had something to do with the Luo Houluo of this present day and age?

For some reason, the Constellation Willow came to mind.

“Take me to Taiyi’s tomb!” Luo Houluo threw Lu Yun to the ground and stabbed his hand into his chest, digging his heart out from his body. “Take me to Taiyi’s tomb!”
