#404 - A bit more companions (two in one)

"Dead again?"

Just like a watermelon falling to the ground.

Frost-covered skull fragments flew in all directions. Thanks to the fact that at the moment Ma Hongjun died, his blood, which had lost the protection of divine power, was completely frozen by the extreme ice, which prevented Huo Yuhao's palm from being dirty.

Under the stunned gazes of the crowd below, the Phoenix God, who had just been so high above and seemed to be able to easily control their life and death, died again without any resistance, leaving only a headless corpse.

But within two seconds, everything, including the skull fragments and Ma Hongjun's body, suddenly burst into flames of the red phoenix.

The broken body was burned up in the flames, turned into useless ashes, and then reshaped in the flames and reborn.

From the beginning to the end, Huo Yuhao had no intention of retracting his hand, even though there was already nothing in his hand, and even though the flame was at a terrifying high temperature that ordinary gods could not resist, he acted as if it was nothing, silently waiting for Ma Hongjun's rebirth.

He looked relaxed and comfortable, as if he was warming himself by a fire on a cold winter night.

Xiao Wu opened her mouth subconsciously, but when she recalled Huo Yuhao's threatening words just now, she shuddered again.

Not to mention stopping him, she now doesn't even have the courage to draw her sword and face the other party.

After finally mustering up the courage, she asked softly, "You, you and Dong'er are in that kind of relationship?"

"Any questions?"

Huo Yuhao looked over again and asked with a half-smile, "Or do you disagree?"

"I"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a long time, as if she didn't know how to answer this question, before she spoke in frustration.

"Now I have no right to say whether I agree or not. As long as Dong'er likes it, I will support her choice."

After saying that, she seemed to be unable to suppress her curiosity and continued to ask.

"How did you two meet?"

"We met at the entrance exam competition."

As if he was talking about a trivial matter, Huo Yuhao explained expressionlessly: "At that time, I scratched her waist and defeated the team she was in."

".?"

Xiao Wu was stunned.

No, are you sure this is a serious game?

Xiao Wu silently complained in her heart. After seeing that Huo Yuhao did not seem to be so difficult to talk to, she became a little bolder. After a moment of silence, she continued to ask in a complicated tone.

"What about Rongrong? Why did you fight with her? Why did you kill her?"

"I kill people at will, without any reason."

"impossible."

Xiao Wu didn't seem to buy this reason: "Your behavior tells me that you are not such a capricious person. At least you let me go."

"oh?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at her coldly, "Based on this alone, can you tell what kind of person I am? Maybe I don't want Dong'er to witness her mother's death in my hands, so I plan to find a suitable opportunity to secretly kill you."

Xiao Wu shook her head and lowered her eyes slightly: "What really makes me sure is the two spirit rings from Da Ming and Er Ming. If I am not mistaken, then it should be related to you, right?"

“.”

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment and did not comment: "Do you want to avenge them?"

"No."

Xiao Wu lowered her eyes slightly, resisting the bitterness in her nose, and spoke softly: "Of the two spirit rings, I only felt resentment from Er Ming's spirit ring, but not from Daming's. I think he should have felt calm before the sacrifice."

Although there were only two spirit rings, they were enough for her to perceive many things.

Daming has always been a calm person. If he were to sacrifice himself first, he would probably make some arrangements for his younger brother Erming. According to this situation, Erming, who always obeys his brother's orders, should also follow suit and sacrifice himself.

Even if Daming really forgot to explain, Erming should be able to react after seeing the soul ring that did not contain any resentment. In any case, he would not have such resentful emotions.

Therefore, there was only one possibility: Er Ming first had a conflict with Huo Yuhao and died at his hands, and then Daming's sacrifice took place.

Under such circumstances, Daming could remain so calm before his death, proving that he did not hate Huo Yuhao at that time.

Thinking back to what Wang Dong'er had said before, that her eldest and second fathers wanted to erase all her memories, she had already guessed a rough idea of ​​what had happened.

Gathering her thoughts, she looked at Huo Yuhao again, sizing him up and down seriously.

"Hehe, what does this have to do with me? I was just trying to persuade you to be more open-minded. After all, you are a trophy. Even if you don't want to, you don't have the right to choose, right?"

"There's a saying, since you can't resist, then change your mindset and enjoy it."

What a mess

Recalling the painful experiences he had endured since his rebirth, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He spoke softly while lamenting the hardships of his fate.

"Niu Tian and Tai Tan are dead, but Ning Rongrong is still alive."

"ah?"

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with surprise: "Where is she?"

"I left her there before I came here."

"Then you can"

"cannot."

As if he had guessed what Xiao Wu wanted to say, Huo Yuhao ruthlessly extinguished her thoughts.

"The reason why I didn't kill Ning Rongrong is because she is useful to me, so there is no need to persuade me to let her go. You know it's impossible."

".Does it have to go this far?"

Huo Yuhao sneered: "You can ask Tang San about this and hear how he answers you."

Xiao Wu fell silent again, and Huo Yuhao had no intention of paying any more attention to her. He turned his head and looked at the fire in front of him.

As time passed, Ma Hongjun's broken body finally became complete, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, recovering from the raging fire that burned everything.

But before he could open his eyes, Huo Yuhao's palm was already on his neck.

"Ask again, where are all those people who went down with you?"

The indifferent questioning voice came together with the sharp pain in the neck, and along with it, the lingering feeling of the moment when the head was crushed just now.

The nightmare-like experience came like a tide, making Ma Hongjun's face turn pale uncontrollably, but he did not give in. Instead, his eyes were filled with hatred, and he stared at Huo Yuhao like a poisonous snake that chooses its prey.

"You want me to reveal the whereabouts of my companions? Dream on! Even if I die, Boss Dai and Oscar will avenge me! Your ending will be a thousand times more miserable than mine!"

However, Huo Yuhao did not show any sign of being angry. Instead, he showed a kind and understanding smile.

"It's okay. The last thing I lack right now is patience. Anyway, we still have a lot of time to discuss the feeling of death together before we capture your gods and bring them here."

Although he said this, he was not in a hurry to kill Ma Hongjun again. Instead, he activated the Ice Emperor's torso bone.

Along with the intoxicating green light, a beam of light emitting a terrifying chill shot out from his chest, instantly defeating the flames on Ma Hongjun's body and hitting his body that had just been condensed.

The wrath of the Ice Emperor.

Under Huo Yuhao's precise control, the cold air only froze his entire body, leaving only the nerves and head that could feel the pain.

It looked as if the hand pinching his neck helped him block the spread of the cold.

Before Ma Hongjun could react, Huo Yuhao's other free hand curled into a claw and grabbed his arm that had been frozen into ice at lightning speed.

Then, with the power in his palm surged, his arm broke into pieces like fragile porcelain, and finally turned into powder with a bang.

"ah!!!"

Ma Hongjun howled miserably, but Huo Yuhao acted as if he didn't hear it and used the same method to blow his other arm into pieces.

After doing all this, he looked into Ma Hongjun's eyes, which had been filled with bloodshot at some point, and asked softly.

"Ask me again, will you tell me or not?"

The unbearable pain caused veins to bulge on Ma Hongjun's neck. He gritted his teeth and his words were mixed with blood that seeped out from the seams.

"I'm talking about your mother."

"That's not the answer I wanted to hear."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and kicked Ma Hongjun on the thigh.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Bang!

With a muffled sound, his legs exploded and he disappeared into nothingness amidst screams.

Looking at the other party's extremely distorted face, Huo Yuhao asked again.

"And now?"

Ma Hongjun's whole body was convulsing violently and he could no longer speak because of the severe pain.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not intend to wait for him to adapt before speaking, but directly blew up his head again, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal, and was ready to wait for the next nirvana to continue.

"That's enough, can't you just let him go?"

Xiao Wu, who was standing by, was stunned by this terrifying scene. Thinking back to her previous comments about Huo Yuhao, she just wanted to slap herself in the face.

How can he be called a good man? He is probably a bloodthirsty devil that crawled out from hell.

If my daughter stays with this kind of guy, will she also become a murderous demon?

"I also want to let him go and give him a quick death, but as you can see, this guy seems to like being treated like this and he's unwilling to let go no matter what."

Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly: "How about you help me persuade him after he is resurrected?"

“.”

Xiao Wu was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment. Huo Yuhao was not idle either. He was unable to get the information he wanted from Ma Hongjun, so he could only rely on his own inferences based on the existing situation.

Firstly, judging from what Ma Hongjun said just now, "Boss Dai and Oscar will definitely avenge him", these three should have come to the lower world together.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, considering that she and Dai Mubai possessed the spirit fusion skill Netherworld White Tiger, their combat power was comparable to that of a first-level god. If the purpose of the Seven Devils descending to the mortal world this time was to deal with themselves, it would be neither reasonable nor logical for them to leave behind this important combat force.

In other words, except Tang San, whose soul was damaged, and Ning Rongrong, who had signed a master-servant contract, the remaining seven monsters had all come to the lower world. Among them, Xiao Wu was the most special. She went to the lower world alone, and it seemed that she did not come to investigate herself, but simply wanted to see how Dong'er was doing.

But there is still a question that bothers Huo Yuhao, that is, are there really only the Seven Monsters in the lower world?

Or is it that there are gods like Tang Hao who are also closely related to Tang San and have come down to the mortal world with him?

Secondly, judging from the fact that Ma Hongjun came to Shrek alone to inquire about the news about Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Dai Mubai and Oscar should be in a state of acting separately.

Following the same logic, others should also do the same as Ma Hongjun and seek out the major forces they are familiar with to obtain more accurate information.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao already had a rough answer in his mind.

Although he didn't know the situation of other people, Dai Mubai, as the ancestor of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, would definitely choose to go to the Xing Luo Empire and use the power of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion or even the Xing Luo Royal Family to investigate the matter.

I just wonder if this guy’s mouth will be as hard as Ma Hongjun’s.

However, Dai Mubai did not have the ability of Nirvana, so he could not torture him like he did to Ma Hongjun. After all, if he accidentally killed him, this guy would have no chance of resurrection.

Thinking this in his mind, as he watched Ma Hongjun’s rebirth come to an end, Huo Yuhao reached out and grabbed Fate’s neck again.

This time he didn't even ask, but directly activated his second soul ring, condensing a snow lotus in his palm.

Unlike other skills that have been promoted to divine skills, the soul ring that the Snow Lotus and the Abyss Dragon gave to Huo Yuhao is still at the level of one hundred thousand years.

Of course, this is only temporary.

Just like how Brother Tianmeng in his previous life helped him upgrade all of Lingmou's spirit rings to a hundred thousand years in the later period, Bingdi and others who have already achieved the status of priests can also help him upgrade these two spirit rings to divine rings.

However, doing so might cause the Extreme Ice Soul Core in his body to become too powerful, thus breaking the already fragile balance between the two soul cores. Huo Yuhao therefore chose to give up temporarily, preparing to wait until the Sea Princess and others became priests in the future before trying again.

But now, the hundred thousand year quality of this snow lotus soul ring has become its advantage.

Just like when Tang San used Guanyin Tears against him, although it could cause damage, it was not fatal, because it was not a divine skill. As long as he did not activate his martial soul, this thing would not be a threat to the life of the god. But at the same time, with the blessing of his cultivation, the power of the snow lotus was enough to break through Dai Mubai's defense and cause great damage and pain to the opponent.

It can be said to be the best torture.

"Since you are so loyal, you shouldn't mind trying the effect on Dai Mubai's behalf, right?"

Seeing Ma Hongjun being so stubborn as to not reveal any information about his companions even though there was a flash of fear in his eyes, Huo Yuhao curled his lips into a harmless smile.

As the snow lotus in his hand changed from azure blue to a pale white filled with a breath of death, he suddenly stretched out his hand, using the sharp petals of the snow lotus after its transformation to break through the flesh and easily send the deadly thing into Ma Hongjun's body.

After doing all this, he spoke softly: "During the time you were in Nirvana, I have guessed where your good brother Dai Mubai is. Next, I will go to find him. In order to prevent him from waiting too long, let's talk while walking."

Ma Hongjun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he was about to curse out loud, but the snow lotus in his body suddenly exploded at this moment. The extremely sharp petals shot out in all directions, cutting his flesh and internal organs inch by inch like a slow slicing, bringing him unimaginable pain.

Listening to the tragic howling, Huo Yuhao's eyes fell on the four people below and he nodded slightly.

"It seems there are other opponents waiting for me to deal with. I will take this guy away first. Notify me if there is any situation."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Xiao Wu in front of him. Although the smile on his face was still as harmless as ever, the voice that sounded in Xiao Wu's ears was extremely cold and full of threats.

"Thank you for coming to visit Dong'er. I'll let you go this time. Please cherish this hard-earned opportunity. I hope we won't be enemies next time we meet."

"Otherwise, I will be in trouble."

“.”

Xiao Wu remained silent, watching Huo Yuhao step into the space crack that suddenly appeared in front of him and disappear.

After a long time, she finally realized what was happening and looked at Wang Dong'er below, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

"Since I have exposed the aura of the Shura God, I should go back and be punished."

"If I have the chance, I will come to see you again."

".Can't you just not go back?"

Perhaps she was touched by what Xiao Wu said to Ma Hongjun before, or maybe it was because the other party was willing to stand in front of her when she was in danger, even if it meant exposing his aura, Wang Dong'er's tone was obviously less distant.

"Since we will be punished if we go back, why not stay at Shrek Academy?"

Noticing the change in Wang Dong'er's attitude, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She was excited that the relationship between mother and daughter had finally eased, and she couldn't help but chuckle and joke.

"Why, do you want your little boyfriend to protect mommy like he protects you?"

Wang Dong'er's cheeks turned red, as if she was irritated by the word "boyfriend", but before she could respond, Xiao Wu shook her head.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, there are some things that I have to go back to investigate."

"I was a little worried about you at first, but now that I see him by your side, I can feel a little more at ease."

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Come to think of it, you've improved much faster than I did back then. Next time we meet, maybe it'll be your turn to protect me."

As soon as the words fell, a golden beam of light that seemed to come from another world slowly descended from the sky and enveloped Xiao Wu.

Before her own form completely disappeared, Xiao Wu stared at Wang Dong'er with a smile, as if she wanted to imprint her grown-up appearance in her heart.

"Well, goodbye, my dear girl."
