#403 - A good impression of mother-in-law (two in one)

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time."

Trying her best to resist the overwhelming pressure, Qiu'er raised her head, stared at the five scarlet halos behind Ma Hongjun that symbolized the second-level gods, and asked in a cold voice.

"As for you, even if you can be resurrected, you can't avoid the pain of death. The feeling of your body turning into dust must not be very pleasant, right?"

As if these words brought back some bad memories, Ma Hongjun's movements froze for a moment and his expression quickly turned gloomy.

"You ignorant creatures from the lower realms, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! You only killed me once because you were lucky enough to take advantage of me. Do you really think that you four can kill me a second time!?"

In an instant, invisible pressure came from all directions, squeezing the bodies of several people madly.

The huge gap in cultivation was reflected at this moment. Niu Tian Titan, who was just a priest at the beginning, could easily crush the Extreme Douluo. Now that Ma Hongjun's aura of a second-level god was revealed, the four of them were suppressed and unable to move. They had no power to resist at all.

"I have to admit that your strength is indeed impressive, but now that I have broken the seal, you will no longer have any chance."

With his eyes burning with rage, Ma Hongjun looked down at the four people with a cold expression, making no effort to hide his murderous intent.

"Thanks to you, the originally ample time has become tight. I didn't want to use these methods at first, but in order to find the murderer before those guys go to the underworld, this is the only option."

As he raised his hand and pointed, the endless red ocean above his head suddenly erupted with rolling heat waves and began to press down towards the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Now, tell me everything about Qiankun Wenqing Valley, otherwise not only you, but the entire Shrek City will be buried with you!"

"!?"

Zhang Lexuan's pupils suddenly shrank as she looked at the gradually descending sea of ​​fire. She seemed to be angered by the other party's behavior and asked in disbelief.

"As the original Shrek Seven Devils, you actually threatened the lives of people in Shrek City. Do you know what you are doing?!"

"On the contrary!"

Ma Hongjun held his head high, staring into Zhang Lexuan's eyes, responding to her questions.

Qiu'er pursed her lips tightly. Even though she was usually serious except when facing Huo Yuhao, she almost laughed out loud after listening to Ma Hongjun's passionate speech.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a brother to Tang San. If that old fellow Xuan Zi were still alive, he would probably have a lot of topics to talk about with this guy, right?

Seeing that the height of the sea of ​​fire was getting lower and lower, Zhang Lexuan still did not intend to tell Ma Hongjun about the situation in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, and his expression gradually became cold.

"It seems that you are determined to seek death!"

His eyes swept over the panicked figures in the building below one by one. When he thought of these guys who had also attacked the statues of the Seven Monsters, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"I've already given you a chance. Remember, this is the path you chose. It's your choice. Let the students of this academy and the residents of this city be buried with you!"

As if he was shouldering an unspeakable righteousness, his expression was majestic and angry, and his tone was like thunder exploding in everyone's ears.

“Today, I will clean up the mess on behalf of the late Dean Flanders and wipe out all of you who have long forgotten the glory of Shrek and only bring shame to this name. Let the world know what the real Shrek is!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the wings behind him shook violently, and the whole person burst out with an elusive speed, rushing towards Wang Dong'er.

Others might be killed, but as Tang San’s daughter, Xiao Qi, he would naturally knock her out and bring her back to the God Realm.

He might not even have intended to knock her out if he hadn't been worried that the girl would resist too violently while awake, causing her to suffer more serious injuries in the process.

Seeing this scene, Qiu'er's expression froze. She was about to call Huo Yuhao, but she found that a beautiful figure holding a huge blood-red sword suddenly blocked Wang Dong'er.

It was as if it appeared out of thin air, without any trace.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling scarlet energy burst out, accompanied by a strong breath of killing. The pressure that originally enveloped the four people was instantly shattered, and the air wave that followed blew them backwards.

Is that Xiao Wu?

While flying backwards, Qiu'er saw the figure that suddenly appeared and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Why does Xiao Wu appear here?

Why should we help them again?

For no reason, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Wang Dong'er, but saw the same shock on that face as her own.

It wasn't just the four of them who had the same expression, there was also Ma Hongjun across from them.

Looking at the familiar figure who blocked his attack with the Shura Demon Sword, he was stunned for a moment, and then he retracted his move belatedly.

"Xiao Wu? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see my younger daughter."

Seeing that Ma Hongjun had taken the initiative to stop the attack, Xiao Wu had no intention of continuing to fight.

"Fatty, that's enough."

"That's it? What do you mean? Are we just going to let Rongrong's matter go?"

Ma Hongjun frowned, and rarely gave Xiao Wu a good look: "You should have seen the reactions of these people just now. Even if Rongrong's death was not caused by them, they must have a special relationship with the murderer. I will find the person soon, and you come here now to ask me to stop here?"

"The God Realm Committee has already assigned the God of Emotions to go to the lower realm to investigate this matter. The truth will be revealed sooner or later. On the contrary, you have violated the rules by going to the lower realm to track down the murderer privately. Moreover, you have just exposed your cultivation and tried to kill living beings. If I hadn't stopped you, the God of Destruction and his men would not have let you go."

"So what? Do you think we didn't think about these things before we came to the mortal world? We have already promised Xiao Ao that we will find the murderer and avenge Rongrong even if we have to spend the rest of our lives in prison!"

Ma Hongjun sneered: "The Shrek Seven Devils are one body. Now that the sixth sister has been killed, we don't want to do it ourselves, but run to expect a strange god to help us investigate the murderer!? Even if we really track down the murderer, do you think the God of Destruction will do justice for us!?"

Xiao Wu opened her mouth, but didn't know how to refute. After a long silence, she spoke again.

".I believe that they are not the only ones who know about Rongrong's affairs. We can ask other people. There is no need to take things to this extent."

"Yeah, ask someone else, but how long will that take?"

As if he had heard a joke, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but sneer and asked back: "Do you think that the God of Destruction will give us time to find other people now that both of us have exposed our cultivation?"

“.”

Xiao Wu was silent, and seeing her like this, Ma Hongjun struck while the iron was hot and his tone became increasingly strong.

"Xiao Wu, you and Rongrong have the best relationship among the Seven Monsters. Now that we have finally found clues to the murderer, I don't ask you to join me in the fight. Now get out of the way, and I can pretend that you never said anything just now!"

Although he was still met with silence, Ma Hongjun seemed to have guessed that she was hesitating. He just remained silent and waited for Xiao Wu to make the final decision.

a long time.

Xiao Wu took a deep breath and shook her head seriously: "I'm very sorry about Rongrong. I will talk to Oscar about this matter in person, but now, I can't let you hurt my daughter."

Seeing that the other party was so disrespectful to him, Ma Hongjun's face became visibly gloomy.

"daughter?"

He first took a deep look at Wang Dong'er in the distance, then looked back at Xiao Wu meaningfully, with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Given Xiao Qi's current state, does she still recognize you as her mother?"

"And you should have seen that I had no intention of hurting Xiao Qi just now. I just wanted to capture her before taking action, and then bring her back to the God Realm to let Third Brother deal with it. Obviously, there is no conflict between us, so why are you trying to stop me?"

Ma Hongjun did not give up persuading him, and made a final effort: "How about you take Xiao Qi away now and leave the rest to me?"

Xiao Wu was silent for a moment, and subconsciously glanced towards where Wang Dong'er was.

The sudden action made Wang Donger's heart alarmed. Just when she thought the other party would capture her, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face.

"But her eyes told me that she didn't want to."

After giving Wang Dong'er a soothing smile, Xiao Wu looked back at Ma Hongjun, who had a look of surprise on his face, and spoke softly.

"I allowed my child's memory to be sealed, and she knew nothing about her true situation in the underworld. As a mother, I have failed enough in my duty during her growth. So next, I want to make up for it and do what a mother should do, even if it means fulfilling a trivial wish of hers before I leave."

"Is this reason enough?"

".It seems there is no room for negotiation."

Ma Hongjun looked at her calmly, his aura rising steadily: "Although you are the Shura God, you can only exert the strength of a second-level god. You are not my opponent at all."

"Yeah?"

Xiao Wu chuckled and raised the blood-red giant sword in her hand again: "Who will win and who will lose, we have to try to find out."

Just as the words fell, before the two of them could explode, a slightly curious voice suddenly entered their ears, bringing a chill as if they were falling into an icy cave.

"Um, is it just you two? Where's the others?"

"!?"

Who is speaking!?

Coincidentally, after hearing the strange voice so close to them, their pupils suddenly shrank, and they subconsciously looked at the white-haired figure that suddenly appeared next to the Golden Dragon Girl, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

How did he get here?

Why didn't they sense even the slightest fluctuation of breath?

"……Who are you?"

As if realizing that Huo Yuhao was very powerful, Ma Hongjun no longer acted condescending as he did when facing Di Tian and the other three. Instead, his tone sounded a little serious.

"Tsk, this really makes me sad."

As if he had heard a joke, Huo Yuhao raised the corner of his mouth in a mocking arc and asked curiously.

"Didn't you come to the lower world just to seek revenge on me? Didn't Tang San tell you my identity?"

After he finished speaking, a look of realization suddenly flashed across his eyes: "But think about it, it makes sense. In order to prevent the God of Destruction from contacting me, that guy will definitely not tell anyone about my situation..."

As soon as these words came out, Ma Hongjun's expression suddenly became fiercer: "Are you the murderer who killed Rongrong!?"

“That’s right.”

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "It's a pity that there is still no reward."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As he spoke, he looked up at the sea of ​​fire in the sky and released his Ice Emperor Martial Spirit.

Blue gold, red, red, blue gold, blue gold, blue gold, blue gold.

Amidst everyone’s astonished gazes, seven soul rings that even gods found incredible slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Immediately afterwards, the sixth soul ring suddenly lit up, and along with it, the torso bone on Huo Yuhao’s chest also lit up with a emerald green light.

Snow dances in the extreme ice area.

Snowflakes condensed out of thin air in the scorching air. The biting cold spread out, rolling up the heat wave that covered down from the sky, rising straight up, easily dissolving the doomsday-like horror scene and making it disappear into thin air.

After doing all this, Huo Yuhao turned his eyes, whose vertical pupils were changing from azure blue to silver-white, and looked at Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu again, asking in a gentle tone.

"Are you two ready to die?"

However, before Ma Hongjun could speak, Qiu'er beside him could not help but remind him: "We have already killed him once, and Xiao Wu is not an enemy."

"……ah?"

Huo Yuhao choked, and the might he exuded weakened a little. In order to avoid embarrassment, he had to wink at Qiu'er.

'What happened? Tell me quickly.'

Soon, he learned the whole story from Qiu'er through the mental link, and then he couldn't help but look at Xiao Wu with a complicated expression.

"Forget it, this one won't make a difference..."

Shaking his head, he looked at Ma Hongjun again, whose face had turned livid. He spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, it looks like you have to go on your journey alone."

"But if I'm not mistaken, you didn't come here alone, did you? After all, you're too weak to cause trouble to me... Who else is with you? Oscar? Dai Mubai? Zhu Zhuqing?"

After calmly analyzing the situation, Huo Yuhao read out the names one by one as if they were his own treasures, and made the suggestion with a chuckle.

"How about this? Tell me their location and I'll let you live. I'll try to get you two on the road together and make sure you leave as quickly as possible. How do you think?"

It was as if he didn't care at all about his strength as a second-level god, and decided his fate so calmly.

Qiu'er, who was standing by, was stunned by what she heard.

Thinking back to her previous harmless provocation and comparing it to Huo Yuhao at this moment, she felt like a dwarf compared to a giant.

"Just because you defeated a remnant of Third Brother's soul and killed a powerless auxiliary deity, you are already so complacent and inflated to this extent?"

As if stimulated by Huo Yuhao's words "You are too weak alone", Ma Hongjun's expression was ferocious, and his tone was filled with indescribable rage: "You think you have the ability to kill me? Then you can come and try!"

"OK."

Huo Yuhao nodded, and the next moment he traveled through space to appear in front of Ma Hongjun. As his first soul ring lit up, he raised his hand and grabbed towards his face.

"!"

Ma Hongjun was shocked to see that the opponent was much faster than himself. Fortunately, he also had rich combat experience and reacted immediately.

Suddenly, a loud phoenix cry erupted from his throat, and a stream of scorching phoenix fire spewed out of his mouth, shooting straight towards the oncoming palm.

Just when Ma Hongjun thought that the opponent would retract his hand and choose to temporarily avoid the attack, Huo Yuhao unexpectedly did not make any unnecessary movements, but instead faced his attack head-on.

There was more to the surprises. The next scene almost made Ma Hongjun drop his jaw.

The moment the line of fire came into contact with Huo Yuhao's palm, a cloud of thick steam burst out, and then... nothing happened.

There was no terrifying sound, nor a deafening explosion. Apart from a slightly piercing hissing sound, his Phoenix Fire Line was unable to even block Huo Yuhao's movements.

How is this possible!?

Even if he was a true first-level god, there was no way he could take this attack unscathed! ?

Huo Yuhao is certainly not yet a first-level god. Even if he merged with four priests at once, he is still some distance away from becoming a second-level god.

The reason why he could do it so easily was entirely due to his Ice Emperor's Tortoise, which had been promoted to a divine skill, and the ultimate ice that was so powerful that it could not be any stronger.

Since becoming the Phoenix God, Ma Hongjun's flame quality has indeed improved significantly, but no matter how much it improves, it can never compare to Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor Martial Soul, which is a fusion of the Ice Dragon King and several top ice-attribute soul beasts.

Not to mention this life, even the ultimate ice and snow created by Huo Yuhao in his previous life by combining the power of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor could not be compared to Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame.

After all, this guy didn’t get the recognition of the God of Fire when he became a god, so he had to settle for the next best thing and become the God of Phoenix. But Huo Yuhao was different. The reason why he didn’t become the God of Ice was because among the elemental gods, there was only the God of Water, who had the same origin as him, and that was not so suitable for him.

If not for this, he could actually serve as both gods like Tang San, or even go a step further and achieve true coexistence of two gods.

After the Ice Emperor's Tortoise was promoted to a divine skill, the improvement was equally exaggerated. Not only did the increase in strength and defense far exceed before, but even after activating the skill, his palms were also accompanied by a terrifying low temperature close to absolute zero.

It is no exaggeration to say that Huo Yuhao now does not need any other skills. He can freeze most opponents and objects with just the touch of his palms.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun had no time to respond, he pinched the other person's face and his palm suddenly burst out with great force.

Just like he did to Ning Rongrong, he pinched Ma Hongjun's facial bones until they creaked and asked curiously.

"We are both second-level gods. I can kill Ning Rongrong, so why do you think I can't kill you?"

Ma Hongjun didn't say a word. He struggled wildly and wailed in pain.

He wanted to pry open Huo Yuhao's palm, but the huge difference in strength meant that no matter how hard he tried, he could not stop the other party's palm from gradually tightening.

Click——

A crisp sound echoed from his head, and Ma Hongjun knew that it was the sound of his bones breaking.

In the pain, he heard Huo Yuhao's cruel words again.

"I know that you can achieve Nirvana more than once, and I also know that as long as I kill your soul, I can end your possibility of Nirvana."

"But I won't do that."

He stared at Ma Hongjun, whose face was twisted in pain, and spoke coldly.

"Just as Qiu'er said, even if you can be resurrected, the pain of death is inevitable. I really want to know how many times you can endure the pain of death in this reincarnation."

It is not known whether it is because of the Phoenix God's position or because the divine body is originally a special energy body, but Ma Hongjun, who had attained nirvana, did not lose his physical body like Ye Xishui. Instead, he only consumed a part of his strength and condensed his body completely.

But whatever the reason, it doesn't matter at this moment.

Recalling the flash of murderous intent in Huo Yuhao's eyes after he learned what happened from her, Qiu'er knew that this fat man who could spit fire was probably in trouble.

Ever since the last incident in the City of Original Sin, Huo Yuhao had developed an almost obsessive pursuit of their safety. Although it seemed that it had been changed back by Gu Yuena, she was as sharp-eyed as she could naturally see that these were just appearances.

And Ma Hongjun took the initiative to put himself in danger at this critical juncture, so the result is predictable.

However, Xiao Wu obviously had no idea what kind of person Huo Yuhao was. Seeing that he caught Ma Hongjun in just a few moves, she was shocked and subconsciously raised the Shura Demon Sword in her hand.

"Sir, now that things have come to this, if things continue like this, it will only turn into a situation that neither side wants to see. Why don't we both take a step back and let him go? I promise that Ma Hongjun won't bother you again. How do you think?"

Huo Yuhao paused, turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, smiled and uttered cold words.

"I refuse."

“.”

Xiao Wu's expression froze for a moment, and when she was about to continue speaking, she was rudely interrupted.

"I'm sorry, I let you go because you treated Dong'er well. Please don't continue to erode my good impression of you, okay?"

"——Mother-in-law."

"?"

What did he call me?

After hearing the last word, Xiao Wu's expression froze for a moment. After a long while, she belatedly glanced at Wang Dong'er, who had also heard Huo Yuhao's words and whose cheeks were flushed.

Snap——

In the sudden silence, Ma Hongjun's head finally couldn't withstand Huo Yuhao's terrifying power and exploded.
