War God Long Ao

"Hehehe, hehehe…."

A wave of sinister laughter washed over them, making Long Ao and Long Potian's hair stand on end.

"Who are you? If you have the guts, then show yourself, you coward."

"You want to see me? Fine. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll come out and meet you."

Just then, a Human Shadow slowly emerged from the Black Abyss. It was dressed entirely in black and radiated waves of Yin Sha Qi.

When the two saw the black-clad figure's true face, they roared in terror almost simultaneously. The man in black was none other than Huo Teng, whom they had just killed.

That's right. It was Huo Teng.

Swallowing hard, Long Potian fought back the terror in his heart and asked, "Just who are you?"

"Hehehe, times have changed. It doesn't matter that you don't know me, but from now on, you must remember: my name is Evil. Hehehe, hehehe…."

Another sinister laugh. 'Evil?'

Staring intently at the black-clad man who had suddenly appeared, Long Ao and Long Potian were absolutely certain that this person was not Huo Teng. He had merely used some kind of Secret Technique to possess Huo Teng's corpse.

Long Ao and Long Potian remained on high alert. They could sense the black-clad man's terrifying power and were thus extremely wary of him.

"Kid, you're not bad."

"Whether I'm good or not is none of your business."

"Hehehe, what an interesting kid. Seeing as you're to my liking, I'll spare your life. But you'll have to hand over two things."

Long Ao remained silent. 'Who the hell knows what he wants? Is he going to ask me to kill myself? Am I supposed to agree to that?'

"Kid, you will give me that Nine Nether Earth Tiger you just summoned."

"Get lost. I'm not giving you my Little Guy." Long Ao refused before Evil could even finish his sentence. 'What a joke. He actually wants my Little Guy.'

"Hehehe." Showing no anger at all, Evil continued, "Besides the Nine Nether Earth Tiger, you must also hand over the Dragon Seal."

'The Dragon Seal?'

Hearing the demand for the Dragon Seal, Long Ao's expression remained impassive, but his heart was reeling with shock. Absolutely no one knew that he possessed the Dragon Seal—not even his closest family: his parents, Yuyin, his grandfather, and Ao Xue.

'So how did this man in black find out?'

"Are you very curious how I knew you possessed the Dragon Seal?"

Long Ao didn't speak, because he really was curious how the man in black knew.

"Hehehe. Kid, cut the crap. Hand over the Dragon Seal and the Nine Nether Earth Tiger, and I'll let you leave. Otherwise, I'll make your souls suffer the greatest agony in this world. Hehehe."

Long Ao and Long Potian's expressions turned grim. After all, the Evil Demon before them was far too powerful. Even if they joined forces, they would be no match for him.

"Don't even think about trying to escape. I can tell you plainly: with your level of strength, I could catch you and drag you back in minutes. Do you believe me?"

They did.

Long Ao and Long Potian had no doubt, but neither intended to compromise—especially not Long Ao. He would never hand over the Little Guy or the Dragon Seal.

"Hehehe, hehehe…."

The Evil Demon didn't say anything more, only letting out waves of cold, sinister laughter that made one's hair stand on end, as if they were in Hell itself.

"There's no problem giving you the Little Guy and the Dragon Seal."

"Brother Long," Long Potian exclaimed in shock when he heard Long Ao actually agree to hand over the Little Guy and the Dragon Seal. He was about to say something, but Long Ao stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Evil Demon, it's no problem to hand them over. I just want to ask about your identity. Let's both show a little sincerity, what do you say?"

"Hehehe." 'Sincerity?' Upon hearing Long Ao's words, the Evil Demon suddenly sneered as if he had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Contempt written all over his face, the Evil Demon snorted coldly. "Kid, on what grounds?"

"Mutual destruction."

Those two simple words made Long Ao's intentions clear. At this, the Evil Demon's expression instantly darkened. Although his power far surpassed the two of them, if his opponent chose mutual destruction and destroyed the Nine Nether Earth Tiger and the Dragon Seal, wouldn't all his efforts have been for naught?

His face grim to the extreme, the Evil Demon neither refused nor agreed. He muttered to himself, "I can no longer remember who I was. I only remember that I am an incarnation of an Evil Demon. In the great war back then, I lost to my enemies and Fallen here. I never expected this place would allow a soul to persist without scattering."

The Evil Demon didn't continue, nor did he reveal his identity.

Perhaps lost in painful memories, the Evil Demon became completely engrossed in his own consciousness. When he was about to speak again, he realized something was wrong. He looked up and found that the two people in front of him had long since vanished.

Without a trace of anger, the Evil Demon chuckled coldly and said, "As if I'd believe you could escape from the palm of my hand."

The moment he finished speaking, the Evil Demon's figure vanished without a trace.

The two of them had entered a dark passage and didn't dare hesitate for a moment. They sped up, sprinting for the outside. In no time, they had left the dark passage and emerged into a valley.

Letting out a long sigh of relief, Long Potian said, his heart still pounding with fear, "What a powerful aura. Brother Long, if I'm not mistaken, that person must be a Peak of Void Strong Person. His soul is just damaged. Even occupying Huo Teng's body, it won't be easy for him to recover his peak strength."

Nodding, Long Ao knew full well what the Peak of Void represented. Within the Eight Realms of Void, the Peak was a World Emperor Martial Artist. Even if the Evil Demon's original body was destroyed and his soul was damaged, he was not someone the two of them could contend with.

"Brother Long, what should we do now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Evil Demon won't let this go. We're in big trouble."

"Hehe, you are indeed in big trouble. Kid, hand over the Nine Nether Earth Tiger and the Dragon Seal. Otherwise, I will follow you forever and kill everyone around you. Hehe."

Seeing the Evil Demon suddenly appear before them, the hearts of Long Ao and Long Potian skipped a beat. They immediately turned and fled. However, the Evil Demon didn't give chase, merely standing in place with a cold smile. He was completely confident.

After leaving the valley, Long Ao and Long Potian had no desire to remain in the Red Heaven Realm, let alone continue participating in the so-called Kyushu tournament. The Evil Demon's power was simply too immense. If they stayed in the Red Heaven Realm, they would only end up under his control.

Long Ao and Long Potian still held onto a sliver of hope. After all, the Evil Demon was Sealed within the Red Heaven Realm. If the two of them left and the Evil Demon couldn't follow, then all would be well with the world.

For this very reason, Long Ao and Long Potian shot straight toward the exit. In no time at all, they had arrived before the Red Heaven Realm's Stone Gate.
