501 Wang Lu~ Holy Sh*t 1 (1/2)

Before entering the shrine, Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu had envisioned numerous possibilities. Of which, of course, they were discovered by the devil and had the possibility of a hard, face to face, clash.

But they never thought that they would be immediately discovered as soon as they opened the cave door, and didn't think that they would be greeted with a gentle voice. Moreover, the voice vaguely sounded… like a woman's voice?

Under this shock, the two however quickly responded. Wang Lu took the lead by saying, ”Good morning, we are human cultivators from the Spirit Sword Mountain in Blue River Region. We heard that there is a senior who was someone of virtue and prestige and with unlimited power. So with full of sincerity and caution, we reverently came here to pay our respect.”

”Oh, interesting little guy.”

In the cave, that gentle voice rang out once again.

”Answer two questions, little guys.”

Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang couldn't help but frown. The devil in the cave seemed to speak slowly, but each word contained devil power. And when it entered the ear, it caused the heart and guts to turn cold. Were they just ordinary Jindan, just by listening to the voice, perhaps they would suffer a mental breakdown and thus get trampled on.

However... this could be regarded as fortune in misfortune as that devil didn't directly come down hard on them. Although the situation was not optimistic, since they could talk, there was still room for mediation. And in terms of speaking, whether it was Wang Lu or Ouyang Shang, both were quite skilled.

”Please by all means,” Ouyang Shang responded with enthusiasm. At the same time, he stepped forward and blocked Wang Lu behind him.

Wang Lu was somewhat unable to understand this action. In terms of overall strength, Ouyang Shang and him were basically about the same. But in terms of defensive power, he was stronger than Ouyang Shang by more than a notch, so it was not Ouyang Shang's turn to act as a meat shield in front of him… However, this was clearly not the time to argue.

”The first question. If you came here to pay respect, without any other purpose, then why did you want to paint a ridiculous tattoo on your body? Tsk, that disgusting smell of blood can wake people up from their sleep.”

Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang simultaneously exclaimed 'oh sh*t' in their mind. One of the reasons why they boldly came here was that they were under the blessing of the magic mark, which allowed them to have seventy to eighty percent confidence that they could conceal themselves from the devil. But now, it seemed that it simply backfired on them, like they were digging their own grave… Did that old demon play a big joke on them?

That didn't make sense. They believed the magic mark of the great elder because there was no benefit for the demon race for falsifying it. Even if this move ended up killing Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu, would the awakened devil reward them? What was the point in making both sides lose?

However, now was obviously not the time to worry about the great elder.

Under this huge pressure, Ouyang Shang still calmly replied, ”Because we don't want to disturb your dream. And listening to the local people, this magic mark can hide us from you, so we asked them to draw this magic mark on us… But unfortunately, we seem to have been deceived by them.”

”They didn't lie to you. Those funny worms really thought that they could deceive my senses. Then, it seems that every few days, they would pick one to have the tattoo drawn and try to slip out the demarcation circle. I was bored to sleep so I accompanied them to play. But as a result, they take it more and more seriously, which let me have good times these years.”

…

At this time, Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu couldn't even exclaim sh*t.

They have really overestimated the skills of this group of demons. The magic mark that they regarded as their only hope was actually just a joke from the beginning. Moreover, they have struggled for two thousand years for this joke!

Thinking of the myriad martyrs engraved on the wall of the shrine above them, thinking that each time the tribe drew the magic mark they had to sacrifice a life, and thinking of the people's hope that was condensed for many generations… it really rendered them speechless.

The weak are prey to the strong—this was the natural order of things in this world. For the weak, courage, wisdom, perseverance… These good virtues could only be used to self-indulge and self-entertain, for the strong could turn everything into a naught with a snap of the finger.

However, now was not the time to feel sorry for those demons. Because the invisible devil had opened its mouth again.

”In any case, little guys, answer my second question. Now that you have disturbed me… How should I torture you as a pastime after being awakened?”

As soon as that voice stopped talking, a strong gust of wind came from inside of the cave. In a flash, regardless of Ouyang Shang's body protection sword qi or Wang Lu's Non-Phase Sword Defense, both were shattered. Ouyang Shang immediately reached into his bosom to prepare his life-saving props, and at the same time, Wang Lu sank his primordial spirit into his Jade Mansion to prepare for a life and death fight.

But in the end, they were both one step slower, because both their body and primordial spirit were completely frozen by that cold wind.

That invisible devil merely sent out a gust of cold air from afar, and the two top ranking Daoist Masters of Jindan Stage completely lost their ability to resist. If that cold wind blew for a while, the two would no doubt be blown away, and their souls would fly away and scatter. However, the other party seemed to be in no hurry to kill them, because the cold wind was only in passing. But, as the wind subsided, the two men lost all their strength and slumped to the ground.

Even if they were in a desperate situation, their fighting spirit did not disappear. Ouyang Shang immediately opened his mouth to say, ”You can tell us a story.”

”Tell a story?”

The devil in the cave somewhat curiously said, ”Why do I want to tell you a story?”

”Because we are really interested in listening.”
