Chapter 206 - A Tall Order (1/2)
The other Demon steps forward with a sneer as he says ”You missed your chance, Hundun. Move out of our way and mind your own business.” Hundun chuckles but it's low and threatening as he says ”You were always an idiot Emo but I think this one takes the top. She's my contractor so I'm not going anywhere.”
Jiang loses his temper as he says ”Move out of our way and I'll let you live.” Hundun chuckles again as he says ”You seem to forget that you're dead. What could you possibly do to me, huh? And Emo, where did you get that summons?”
I step over to Hundun's side as I watch their interactions but more than anything, I'm surprised he came for me. Emo sneers at Hundun and says ”You're not the only one who has connections, Hundun.” Suddenly, Hundun shoves me hard, sending me flying to the side as a huge blast of energy hits the very spot we were just standing in.
Holy shit! Hundun and Emo tangle with each other midair as more powerful blasts ripple off them in large waves. Just how powerful were they!? I quickly get up and look around the barren, blackened land but nothing but large black boulders and sharp rocks can be seen, that and blue flames?
What the hell? Wait... was I in hell or something!? I try to call my power again but my ankle burns with a wicked sting. I go to pull my dress up to look but I'm suddenly hit from behind. I hit the ground and nearly have the air knocked out of me.
I lift my elbow and twist back, instantly hitting Jiang on the side of his face. He grunts in pain and falls off me. I quickly turn around and try to stand up but he grabs the same ankle that burns and squeezes.
That same intense pain hits me as I cry out and kick him in the face with my other foot. He cries out and falls back while holding his face. I quickly crawl backward and stand up with a limp. That ankle was killing me! I Watch Jiang clutch his face in pain and roll back and forth on his back with a shaky smile.
Serves him right! I turn back to look at Hundun and Emo, only to see Hundun ridding the other Demon like a surfboard as he hits him over and over again. The other Demon grabs Hundun's arm and snaps it in a weird angle, making me flinch in pain.
Hundun, on the other hand, only seems inconvenienced as he switches to beating the Demon with his other arm. I quickly dodge to the left when I feel Jiang swing at me from behind. A sharp black rock bȧrėly misses my face as he tries to swing at me again.
For someone who's dead... he VERY solid! He lifts the sharp rock over his head with both hands and charges at me with a crazy look in his eyes. I do the only thing I can think of and punch him in the throat as I try to dodge.
The sharp rock cuts into my shoulder a little but I ignore the pain as I quickly bring my knee up to his face. He was currently choking so he didn't see it coming until it was too late. He flies back and lands on his back again but this time he's bleeding.
I breathe hard as I look down at the retard and say ”Huh... you can even bleed when you're dead. If I'm not mistaken, you're more alive than you should be but I'm done playing with you.” I reach down and pull the odd bell from my waist and shake it.
Jiang looks up to me with watery eyes and then frowns in confusion at the bell hanging from my hand. I look at the bell with the same confused look and go to ring it again when I hear a deep voice behind me say ”I heard it the first time, woman.”
I turn around and look at the man... er Demon King? King of death? I don't really know but when I see the man's face, I'm surprised by how much he looks like Hundun. The man walks over and looks me over with a slight nod before looking down at Jiang.
