Chapter 237 Black Maple Protects Its Master
The little demon that wasn't struck saw its companion get burned and, in shock, turned and ran away.

"stop!"

The one-eyed leopard and the blue rabbit blocked their way, barking menacingly at them, "Whoever runs, I'll kill them! Go, keep charging!"

They just didn't believe it; surely there couldn't be lightning every time, could there?

The one-eyed leopard turned its head and glanced north, where a group of lesser demons had also gathered, drawn by the commotion. The number was about the same as the one Lan Tu had brought back from the west. If they were called over to join the attack...
It turned its head and winked at Lan Tu, telling it to stay here and guard the place while it went to bring over some lesser demons.

Lan Tu nodded slightly, signaling it to hurry up.

We have no choice but to go. The palace is a sacred place, and normally no demons dare to come here. Even now that the palace has been bombed and the roof has collapsed, they only dare to watch from afar, and not a single one has come forward.

Boom. Rumble.
A muffled rumble of thunder echoed again from the dark clouds, seemingly gathering strength for the next strike.

The group of lesser demons trembled in fear, and not one of them took a step forward.

"Hurry up, don't force me to do it."

Lan Tu, enraged, kicked the nearest blue-furred deer demon, cursing, "Didn't I warn you last time to shave off the blue fur on your head? You dare to keep it? Are you looking for death?"

The blue-haired deer demon was completely bewildered. After being kicked, it lost its balance and fell to the ground. It wanted to ask, "Who did you tell last time about shaving your blue hair?"

After all, all the Blue Deer in the clan have heads that look like this, and even its father has about the same amount of blue hair on his head.

But it dared not ask.

Not only did he not ask, but after being kicked down, he simply lay there motionless, pretending to be crippled and unable to get up.

Lan Tu's eyes were practically blazing with fury. She bent down, grabbed the deer demon, and threw it towards Xiao Qi.

puff!
The thunder didn't strike, but a seven-colored black blade shot out from the swirling petals and leaves, cleaving the blue-furred deer in two at the waist.

The trembling little demons were startled, and even Lan Tu stared wide-eyed in surprise at the black sword with its colorful hilt that was suspended in mid-air.

Top-grade magical weapon!

Although the hilt is strange, it cannot conceal the radiance emanating from the blade and the undeniable fact that this is a sentient sword.

This brat really does carry magical artifacts, and probably quite a few at that.

Overjoyed, Lan Tu wanted to rush forward and snatch it, but then she remembered that all her previous attacks had been ineffective. She didn't know if it was related to the precious sword or the obstruction from the other magical artifacts on her. If she rashly went forward again, wouldn't she lose face in front of these lesser demons if things went the same way?
Then, with a quick glance, Lan Tu said to the little demons, "See that knife? It's that brat's magic weapon. She has many more of these magic weapons on her. Go, whoever catches her and snatches the magic weapon is hers. Not only does she have magic weapons, but she also has elixirs. Whoever gets those is theirs too."

Pill?

The little demons' eyes lit up. Compared to magic weapons, pills were much more useful to them, as they could heal injuries and improve their cultivation. So they didn't really want magic weapons, but they really wanted pills.

After all, alchemy is something only cultivators can do; demons wouldn't know how to do it.

The desire for the elixir temporarily suppressed their fear, and the lesser demons became restless again, planning a second attack on the human race who were undergoing their tribulation.

Black Maple was on high alert, ready to unleash a massacre.

Boom. Rumble.
The clouds in the sky grew thicker, and the thunder was louder than before, but Lan Tu's voice was even more alluring, "The second lightning bolt will only strike after it has accumulated to a certain point. Hurry up and snatch that human's storage ring and storage bag before the lightning strikes! Quickly, quickly, quickly!"

The rapid clattering made the lesser demons lose their bearings. For some reason, their eyes turned red, and their previous fear vanished. They bared their fangs and charged forward with ferocious ferocity. *Pfft pfft pfft pfft*
Black Maple slashed down one demon at a time, its speed like a streak of light. Were it not for the seven-colored gem on the hilt, it would be impossible to spot. Slaying these low-level demons was like cutting vegetables for it; it was just a pity it couldn't put the sword away.

Perhaps it had been spending too much time with Xiao Qi, and seeing so many demon corpses piled up on the ground, it felt heartbroken, as if it had lost a fortune.

Such a waste!

After killing the last demon, Black Maple smugly spun around in mid-air and held his sword upright in front of Lan Tu.

I remember that kid Meng Ziyang once said that giving the middle finger means contempt, and he is now showing contempt for Lan Tu.

"You call yourself a great demon comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator? Bah! If you've got the guts, come to the area of ​​the tribulation lightning!"

Come on, come on, come on!
Strangely enough, Lan Tu seemed to understand the knife's provocation, and in a moment of anger, she lost her mind and stepped into the minefield.

Boom! Crack!

Just as Lan Tu stepped one foot into the minefield, with the other foot still outside, the second bolt of lightning, which had been gathering in the sky for a while, struck down with tremendous force, much more powerful than the first bolt, and struck Lan Tu squarely on the head.

"Hehehehe."

When he saw that Lan Tu's entire head had turned black and the tuft of blue hair on its head was gone, Hei Feng laughed like a complete idiot, his blade trembling wildly.

As luck would have it, the One-Eyed Leopard arrived with a group of lesser demons and witnessed the scene of Lan Tu being struck down.

The one-eyed leopard wanted to laugh, but it held back. It reached out its paw and grabbed the blue rabbit back, looking at its split forehead, and asked, "What were you doing in there?"

Lan Tu exhaled black smoke from her mouth, shook her buzzing head, gritted her teeth, looked at the knife, and remained silent.

The one-eyed leopard didn't insist on an answer. Following its gaze, it looked at Black Maple, its one eye lighting up with a flash of greed.

Sensing something, Black Maple stopped laughing, shivered, and leaned back closer to Xiao Qi.

It has a contractual relationship with Xiao Qi, and as long as she is alive, no one can take it away.

The reason why the contract with Lu Xiaowu was terminated was because he perished back then, taking a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Wuji Sect with him and causing him to self-destruct, which greatly reduced the pressure on Yu Qingge and allowed her to successfully severely injure the Wuji Sect Master.

But at the same time, his body disappeared, and even his soul was shattered into pieces.

If Su Changhe hadn't foreseen this and had Yu Qingge carry a soul-summoning lamp to gather his scattered soul, he wouldn't have been able to be resurrected.

Anyway, as long as Xiao Qi is alive, it can't be taken away by anyone else.

Therefore, as long as it protects her, they will both be safe.

"It's that human. She has pills on her, lots and lots of pills. Hurry and snatch them. Whoever gets them keeps them. If you can kill her, I will reward you handsomely."

Although the corpses scattered all over the ground terrified the demons, the elixirs and the generous rewards still gave them courage.

"There's a saying among humans: 'Fortune favors the bold.' There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want good things, you have to fight for them yourself. Hurry up and go before the other demons come over. All the benefits will be yours."

After a few words of encouragement from the one-eyed leopard, the lesser demons, already itching for the pills, no longer hesitated and dashed into the minefield to pounce.
