Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1172 - 1111: The Blood Demon Reveals Himself
The battlefield where the Flame Cult Leader and Barbarian Saint clashed was the largest mushroom cloud in the Holy City.
It was hit by a magic cannon, sending a massive amount of dust into the sky, making the air murky, resembling the chaos of creation.
The news of Huang Yi destroying the magic cannon quickly spread here.
"There’s a traitor in our Half-Beast Holy Land, attacking our magic cannon! We must stop him quickly!" A high-ranking Half-Beastman flew in mid-air, coughing in the smoke while anxiously looking into the distance.
"Deal with this guy first!" the Barbarian Saint waved a big hand, unleashing a beam of light towards the Flame Cult Leader.
The Flame Cult Leader, hair unkempt and covered in blood, roared amidst the dusty sky, like a beast gone mad.
The shells previously aimed here all automatically tracked him, exploding near him, even on him, causing him serious injuries despite his Five Steps to Heaven strength.
"Ugh!" At this time, he was hit by the beam from the Barbarian Saint, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell towards the ground with a pale face.
His majestic body crashed into the ruins of the city below, creating a large crater.
He staggered up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the madness in his eyes reaching an extreme, and the flames on his body suddenly surged, becoming increasingly scarlet.
"I’ll let you taste the power of our Flame Cult’s Sacred Artifact!" the Flame Cult Leader roared as he took off his burning religious robe.
Each flame-shaped insignia on the robe swiftly detached, soared into the air, circling around him at high speed.
Eventually, those symbols exploded, transforming into a sky full of flames, forming the shape of a teleportation gate.
The Flame Sect Master stood before the teleportation gate, facing it as if confronting a distant world, loudly summoned: "Believers of the Flame Cult! I burn the holy robe, only to traverse endless distances and bring the flames here! Flame Plane Teleportation Gate—Open!"
As his voice fell, figures burning in flames suddenly appeared from the flame teleportation gate!
Those figures bore the same religious aura as the Flame Cult Leader, all donned in burning cult robes, teleported from afar, surging towards here like a tide.
The aura of these figures was overwhelming, all at least of the Heavenly Realm Stage, with four or five even at the Ascension Stage, engulfed in blazing fire.
Led by these Ascension strongholds, billions of flame cult believers spilled forth like a breached sea of fire from the teleportation gate, surging toward all corners of the Holy City, turning everything in their path to ashes.
"Damn! It’s a cross-world teleportation gate!" High Priest Li Ge’s face turned pale, staring intently at the flame teleportation gate.
"This sacred artifact is so powerful! It can even instantly establish a cross-world teleportation gate!"
"It’s over! We can’t possibly withstand so many Ascension Stage strongholds!"
One by one, high-ranking Half-Beastmen stood dumbfounded in mid-air, watching the endless figures teleporting from the flame gate, spreading out towards the Half-Beast Holy Land.
The Barbarian Saint’s face was ashen, glaring at the flame teleportation gate. Although his strength was similar to that of the Flame Cult Leader, his subordinates’ strength couldn’t compare, with only two Ascension strongholds in the Half-Beast Holy Land, whereas four or five Ascension strongholds had already teleported from the flame gate in just a short time, with more unknown to come.
His mouth was tightly pursed, eyes darting, seemingly hesitant.
Finally, his gaze firmed, and his tightly-clenched lips finally parted: "Li Ge, go to the Demon King teleportation gate in the Holy Mountain’s cellar and summon the Blood Demon for help!"
"What?! If the Blood Demon is exposed, our Half-Beastmen clan is finished! We’ll immediately be labeled as a Corrupted Race!" A high-ranking Half-Beastman turned his head in shock, staring at the Barbarian Saint.
"If he doesn’t come, our Half-Beastmen clan is finished right now!" the Barbarian Saint coldly replied.
"There are no outsiders in this Holy City, even if the Blood Demon appears, it won’t be exposed!"
"Now only the Blood Demon’s intervention can save our Half-Beast Holy Land!"
Most high-ranking Half-Beastmen voiced their agreement with the Barbarian Saint’s proposal.
"Then I’ll go and bring the Blood Demon over now!" High Priest Li Ge hastily threw down these words and, supporting the crystal staff, stride hurriedly towards the Holy Mountain.
...
As Huang Yi took action, the sound of cannons in the Holy City became sparser, eventually all magic cannons were mutually destroyed, along with leveling those city areas where the cannons were located.
The entire Holy City lay in ruins, countless people fled screaming towards the city outskirts, leaving few within the city.
After destroying the final magic cannon, Huang Yi finally halted, ascending to the sky once more, gazing towards the direction where the Flame Cult Leader and Barbarian Saint battled.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar old woman hurrying towards the Holy Mountain.
That old woman was High Priest Li Ge of the Half-Beast Holy Land.
"The Flame Cult Leader is rampaging, yet High Priest Li Ge has withdrawn from the battlefield, heading to the Holy Land, what exactly is she going to do?" Huang Yi wondered inwardly.
He shimmered, rapidly transforming into the appearance of the Ghost Crown Prince, also hastening towards the Holy Mountain.
Not long after High Priest Li Ge entered the Holy Mountain, Huang Yi arrived at the sole entrance at the foot of the Holy Mountain. The guard here was even stricter than usual, with fully armed Half-Beastman guards, swords drawn, arrows on the string, eyes keenly watching all around, constantly on guard.
Seeing Huang Yi’s arrival, a guard immediately stepped forward, solemnly saying: "Ghost Crown Prince, High Priest Li Ge specifically instructed us not to allow anyone else into the Holy Mountain."
"Even I can’t go in?" Huang Yi’s face fell as he asked in a deep voice.
The guard nodded, in an official business tone: "Yes! I’m very sorry!"
Huang Yi had no choice, glanced towards the Holy Mountain, and slowly turned away.
Far away, Huang Yi hid in a secluded corner, watching the Holy Mountain’s exit, patiently waiting.
The commotion of the distant battle grew, with more areas in the Holy City turning into a sea of fire, indicating that the Barbarian Saint and others had failed to stop the Flame Cult Leader. High Priest Li Ge’s purpose in ascending the Holy Mountain was certainly extraordinary.
After a while, finally two people emerged hurriedly from the Holy Mountain’s entrance.
One of them was High Priest Li Ge, the other was a young Half-Beastman, unfamiliar in appearance yet familiar in aura, empty-handed, exuding an air of authority.
"Blood Demon?" Huang Yi guessed immediately. Although the appearance was unfamiliar, and there was no signature blood-red cloak evident, the feel was very much like the Blood Demon, likely a deliberate disguise.
The Half-Beast Holy Land finally summoned this hidden significant figure out of the shadows!
