Chapter 145 The Demon Lord is a Treasure Trove
"Speak of the devil, and he appears—"
Chu Yang felt somewhat helpless. Spoiling plot points like this was indeed a sin against heaven, and what was even more embarrassing was being caught by the person involved.
Demon Lord Chonglou looks very angry.
"We're all on the same side, can we sit down and talk?"
Before Chu Yang could finish speaking, Xu Changqing had already attacked in anger.
How could he, as the chief disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect, tolerate the culprit who destroyed the Demon Locking Tower?
Sword energy shot straight into the sky!
"Hmph! Even Qingwei wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of me, and you, a mere Taoist priest, dare to make a move?"
Chonglou's eyes flashed with a cold light, and red demonic light gathered in his palm. He then slammed his palm horizontally, unleashing a chilling aura that pressed down fiercely on Xu Changqing.
The crimson demonic light forcefully broke through the sword energy, engulfing Xu Changqing along with it.
Upon seeing this, Chu Yang flashed and appeared out of thin air beside Xu Changqing, placing a hand on his shoulder before disappearing again.
Chonglou said with considerable surprise, "You do have some skill. Then take another move from me!"
Chu Yang cupped his hands and sneered, "The Demon Lord who roams the Six Realms is actually a shameless bully who uses his power to oppress the weak. Meeting him today is truly disappointing."
Chonglou's face darkened, filled with murderous intent. "What did you say?"
Looking at the familiar "red-haired monster," Jing Tian felt little fear and said bluntly, "What Master Chu said isn't wrong. You've cultivated for countless years and are a renowned figure throughout the Six Realms. Bullying a few mortals here, isn't that bullying the weak?"
"I really don't know how I ever enjoyed dealing with someone like you before —"
Jing Tian's unintentional remark struck a nerve with Chong Lou. He valued this assessment of his "lifelong enemy" highly, and upon hearing it, Chong Lou was like a volcano about to erupt.
The dark clouds over Leizhou are piling up.
Tang Xuejian grabbed the dazed Jing Tian and said urgently, "Are you crazy! How dare you provoke him? Be careful he gets angry and kills us all. He looks so petty—"
Lin Yueru quickly covered Tang Xuejian's mouth, saying with a tearful expression, "Your mouth is even more unlucky, you'd better keep it shut!"
The veins on Chonglou's temples bulged, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
"Sharp-tongued! You did learn something good from all those ordinary people back then!"
He took a deep breath, first giving the trembling Tang Xuejian a cold glance, before saying to Chu Yang, "You are a mortal, and I am the Demon Lord. It is indeed unfair for me to suppress you with my cultivation. You shall draw the line; we must fight today!"
Chu Yang gave Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian a thumbs up, and the two of them grinned foolishly, their faces showing a smug expression, just like elementary school students being praised by their teacher.
"Senior is magnanimous, truly worthy of the title of Demon Lord."
"Stop talking nonsense! Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. If you lose, you won't have the chance to spout this nonsense here."
Chu Yang stepped forward, shook his sleeves, and smiled, "In the Six Realms, who doesn't know that the Demon Lord is exceptionally brave and skilled? This junior is not talented, but I would like to have a contest of strength with you, senior."
Everyone was shocked and looked at Chu Yang as if he were a madman.
A mortal trying to outmuscle the Demon Lord?
This is something that only someone who has lost their mind could say.
Lin Yueru tugged at Li Xiaoyao's sleeve, swallowed hard, and whispered, "What's wrong with Master Chu?"
Could it be that the pressure is too much and she's gone crazy?
Li Xiaoyao irritably shook off his hand, "What nonsense are you spouting? Even if you're crazy, Brother Chu wouldn't be!"
Lin Yueru said anxiously, "Who in their right mind would think of that?"
Li Xiaoyao said firmly, "I believe in Brother Chu. Ever since he saved us on Immortal Spirit Island, I've felt that there's nothing in this world that he can't do."
Lin Yueru pursed her lips, her emotions gradually calming down.
Chonglou remained indifferent and bluntly stated, "I'll assume you've lost your mind and give you another chance to say it."
Chu Yang smiled without saying a word, his eyes filled with provocation.
"If you lose, I won't kill you, but I'll break every bone in your body."
"What if I win?"
"I'll grant you one wish!"
"It's a deal!"
Demon Lord Chonglou descended from the sky, standing in the middle of the Yun Mansion's courtyard, his gaze fixed on Chu Yang as he asked, "How shall we compete?"
Chu Yang, bracing himself against the Demon Lord's powerful aura, walked up to him and then drew a circle at their feet with his sword.
"Whoever breaks out of the circle first loses."
"good!"
"Senior, whoever uses their magic first loses."
"You talk too much nonsense!"
Chonglou had been waiting for this moment. His fists slammed down on Chu Yang like thunderbolts.
The moment the fist landed on Chu Yang's chest, a startling muffled thunderclap rang in everyone's ears.
It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, making even the air feel oppressive.
Chu Yang took a step back, then stood up straight, his expression unchanged.
Chonglou was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, then looked at Chu Yang with interest. "Your physique is quite good. No wonder you're confident enough to contend with me. You—are not human?"
"Senior Demon Lord, you jest. I am a man of absolute integrity." Chu Yang raised his fist and said politely, "Now it's my turn to throw a punch. Please be mindful, Senior."
Chonglou arrogantly put his hands behind his back, completely ignoring Chu Yang's reminder.
"I warned you—"
Chu Yang shook his head helplessly, then a madness flashed in his eyes. He pushed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique to its limit, and the power of a hundred dragons and a hundred elephants gathered in his fists.
A punch was thrown, tearing space apart!
Chonglou's expression suddenly changed.
next moment.
"you----"
Before he could finish speaking, Chonglou felt a sharp pain in his chest. The surrounding scenery was playing in reverse, and he heard gusts of cold wind howling and the sound of walls cracking.
When Chonglou came to his senses, he was already standing outside Leizhou City. A large hole in the thick city wall in front of him, shaped like a human figure, had been torn open.
I was knocked away by a mere mortal?
Chonglou looked down at his hands, sinking into deep self-doubt.
Meanwhile, in the Yun family compound, Xu Changqing and the others stared at Chu Yang in disbelief.
They couldn't even see how Chonglou flew out.
With a blink of an eye, Chonglou disappeared.
"You won? You won just like that?"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Tang Xuejian jumped up excitedly.
Only then did the others belatedly smile.
Xu Changqing anxiously stepped forward to check on Chu Yang's body, repeatedly asking, "Junior brother, are you alright?"
"Two grown men shouldn't be touching each other like that; it looks weird." Chu Yang slapped Xu Changqing away and said helplessly, "If I had something to do, would I be standing here talking to you?"
Xu Changqing looked even more confused, "Why were you completely unharmed after taking a punch from the Demon Lord?"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes.
The fart left me completely unharmed, but it almost blew my internal organs out. If I didn't have a strong recovery ability, I would have been dead long ago.
We also have to thank the top-ranked fan for his "effortless transformation".
It’s really useful!
Chonglou is back.
He came back fuming!
Everyone was on high alert, fearing that this Demon Lord, who had roamed the six realms, might turn on them and refuse to acknowledge their presence.
With a face as cold as frost, Chonglou walked right up to Chu Yang, the two of them less than a foot apart, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
He was played!
He, the mighty Demon Lord, was actually tricked by a mere mortal!
Chonglou said coldly, "You're very good. I can grant you one wish, but the next time we meet, I will definitely kill you!"
Chu Yang smiled faintly and said, "Senior Demon Lord seems quite unconvinced?"
Chonglou's face contorted with rage, veins bulging. "You cheated! How dare you say that?"
Chu Yang frowned and asked, "Where did you see me cheating, senior?"
Chonglou replied matter-of-factly, "How could you, a mere mortal, possibly be stronger than me? That's common sense!"
"Common sense? Hahaha." Chu Yang laughed loudly, "A dignified Demon Lord actually believes in the word 'common sense'? It's truly unbelievable. Aren't you demons the most unorthodox beings in the Six Realms?"
Chonglou suddenly relaxed his clenched fists, and a smile appeared on his face. "You are indeed an interesting human. Apart from Feipeng, no one has made me this embarrassed in a long time."
"Oh? Senior isn't planning to break my bones?"
"I'll challenge you to another match next time, just like today. You decide the competition, and if you lose, I'll still break your bones!"
That's it, the target has shifted.
Chu Yang gave Jing Tian a resentful look, thinking that he was the trump card that would guarantee victory, but it turned out that he had the clown card.
"Tell me your wish, and I will do everything in my power to make it come true!"
Chonglou was a man of his word; since Chu Yang had won him fair and square, he naturally wanted to help him fulfill his wish.
For some reason, Chonglou always felt that the human Taoist priest opposite him kept lingering on him.
What does he really want?!
Chu Yang was also conflicted about this issue, wondering what it would be best to ask Chonglou to do.
Help him take down Baiyue or Xiejianxian?
Help them collect the Five Elemental Pearls?
Choosing either one seems like a good option.
But Chu Yang was a little reluctant, feeling it was such a waste.
First of all, with the Demon-Eating Gu and the Golden Silkworm Gu around, he grows very quickly and won't need long to deal with Baiyue and the Evil Sword Immortal on his own.
It's only a matter of time.
Secondly, Xu Changqing might not be willing to ask Chonglou to help collect the Five Elemental Pearls. In his eyes, Demon Lord Chonglou was the culprit behind all the disasters.
It would be better to kill him than to make him accept Chonglou's "charity".
Moreover, collecting the Five Elemental Pearls isn't too difficult. Chu Yang has already tried two incorrect options, so all he needs to do next is follow the steps to find them.
After much thought, Chu Yang decided that it would be better to obtain some bloodline factors from Chonglou. If he could create the "Demon Lord" bloodline, he would make a fortune.
With Xu Changqing and the others present, Chu Yang couldn't directly ask Chonglou for the essence blood, so he could only give him meaningful glances.
"Are your eyes bothered?"
"Ahem—I mean, let's talk privately."
"You Shushan sect don't pride yourselves on being the righteous path, so why do you have things to say behind people's backs?"
"This senior hasn't had a conversation with anyone in thousands of years!"
How did you know?
"I've never seen anyone kill a conversation in just three sentences before. I'm impressed."
Chonglou: "————"
Tang Xuejian and Lin Yueru couldn't help but turn around and chuckle quietly.
Jing Tian wanted to laugh too, but Chong Lou kept glancing in his direction, so he didn't dare.
Xu Changqing whispered in Chu Yang's ear, "Junior brother, what exactly are you trying to do? Why can't you say it in front of everyone? Even if I'm begging you, please don't go down the wrong path."
Chu Yang shoved Xu Changqing away. He was afraid of Xu Changqing's eccentric behavior, which was why he wanted to have a private chat with the Demon Lord. He didn't expect the other party to be just as clueless.
Left with no other choice, he could only change his words and say, "I hope the Demon Lord can step in and help us when we are truly in danger."
Anyway, if I can beat the opponent once, I can win a second time. Chonglou himself set the rules, so why don't I take advantage of him and fleece him to death?
Chu Yang thought to himself.
"You're quite a smart person."
Chonglou gave Chu Yang a deep look and nodded in agreement, understanding the unspoken meaning in his words.
If they try to handle a danger they can manage themselves, Chu Yang won't take responsibility.
This young Taoist priest seems quite cunning, but he's full of bad intentions.
In any case, at least he had a life-saving charm in his hand, which made Chu Yang feel much more relaxed.
After all, who knows what kind of accidents might happen if we go to the ghost realm or the god realm?
Besides the Demon Lord Chonglou, there are many other extraordinary figures in the Six Realms. This is not just the world of Sword and Fairy 1 and Sword and Fairy 3.
When Xu Changqing heard Chu Yang make a wish to Chonglou, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Chu Yang would beg Chonglou to help him forcibly improve his power, and even fall into the demonic path for it.
"We must resolve the matter of the Five Elemental Pearls as soon as possible; we absolutely cannot allow our junior brother to go astray in his efforts to save the world!"
After much painful reflection, Xu Changqing's eyes became unusually resolute.
"Then so be it. But let me remind you, the day I make my move will be the day the second round of the competition begins. You'd better watch yourself."
Chonglou turned and left. As he passed Jingtian, a look of disappointment appeared on his face. "The little Taoist is right. You are not him after all."
Jing Tian smiled and said nonchalantly, "Of course I'm not some General Fei Peng. I'm just me, Jing Tian's Jing, Jing Tian's Tian."
Chonglou laughed heartily, "Now you do look somewhat like him!"
Jing Tian's smile vanished abruptly, replaced by a furious rage.
This person really doesn't know how to talk!
However, the angrier he got, the happier Chonglou became, feeling that he had gotten some revenge for the defeat he had suffered at the hands of Chu Yang.
A black hole suddenly appeared in the void. Chonglou walked into it laughing, and then the black hole closed, and he disappeared completely.
Chonglou's teleportation spell seems to be much more powerful than Flying Thunder God and Phantom Shift. It can freely traverse the six realms and is a true form of teleportation.
"The Demon Lord is a treasure trove from head to toe!"
Chu Yang thought to himself.
Tang Xuejian wiped the cold sweat from her brow and let out a long sigh of relief. "Finally gone. That guy scared me half to death. What kind of Demon Lord Chonglou is he? He's nothing special!"
Jing Tian was startled and quickly covered Tang Xuejian's mouth. "Grandma, please don't speak! If we call him back later, do you really think he can't hear us?"
Tang Xuejian's face turned pale upon hearing this. The more arrogant she had been just moments before, the more frightened she became now.
Lin Yueru shook her head helplessly, "You're much more arrogant than I was when I first entered the martial arts world. My father is still the leader of the martial arts alliance, and I don't dare to talk to you like that, for fear that I'll be beaten to death sooner or later."
Tang Xuejian was on the verge of tears.
Li Xiaoyao added, "Miss Tang, you should take everyone's advice to heart. When you're out and about, trouble often comes from what you say."
Actually, everyone meant well in advising her, but Tang Xuejian was, after all, a young girl, and she was easily embarrassed. Being lectured by so many people at once was a bit too much for her to bear.
She ran out of the Yun Mansion gate crying and disappeared into the street.
"Miss Tang!" Jing Tian called out anxiously, and without even taking the Demon Sword with him, he ran after her.
Strangely, the Demon Sword did not fly out on its own this time to follow Jing Tian away, but instead remained quietly in the courtyard.
Chu Yang laughed, "Jealous already? If you keep hiding in your sword, your brother will run off with another woman!"
The demonic sword suddenly trembled, and after a while, a blue figure flew out from inside and hurriedly flew outside.
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru stared wide-eyed.
"How can there be ghosts in broad daylight?!"
