Chapter 872 - 872 Self-Destruct

872 Self-Destruct

He Zong gritted his teeth. It had not been easy for him to get to where he was today. As long as he killed Lin Huanhuan and destroyed the entire 10,000 Beast Temple, he could blame everything on the demons later.

If they knew that Lin Huanhuan had colluded with a demon, the reputation of the temple would definitely plummet.

At that time, as long as he appeared to bribe the people and led the beasts to protect the beast continent and chase out those demons, the reputation of the royal family would definitely rise to the peak.

From then on, the beast continent would be ruled by the royal family. The royal power would be the supreme power in this land!

At the thought of this, He Zong’s heart burned with passion, and all the blood in his body started to boil!

He could not lose!

He could not let Lin Huanhuan leave this place alive!

The lion roared at the sky, and the golden light on his body soared!

His soul beast attribute was light.

The golden light quickly spread, piercing one’s eyes.

Huanhuan closed her eyes involuntarily, not daring to look directly at the golden light.

When the Soul-Devouring Vines touched the golden light, they emitted a sizzling sound as if they had encountered sulfuric acid and were constantly corroded.

Little Brat suddenly shouted, “Stop him! He’s going to self-destruct his beast soul!”

That was right, He Zong was going to self-destruct his beast soul!

It didn’t matter if he died. After all, he still had several sons.

Before he decided to destroy the temple, He Zong had already informed his four sons. If he died, He Guang would immediately inherit the throne and lead the royal family to continue the great cause of revitalizing the royal power!

As an expert who had already entered the demigod realm, if he self-destructed, the entire divine mountain would probably be destroyed by him.

Huanhuan ignored the danger of her eyes being blinded and opened her eyes. She found the direction of the door. She roared at the outside of the temple with all her might, “Chen Yuan, quickly bring Eggy down the mountain! It’s dangerous here!”

When the golden light soared, Chen Yuan and Zao Nian, who were outside the temple, had already sensed danger.

Chen Yuan wanted to save Huanhuan, but he was pulled back by Zao Nian.

“With your strength, you can’t save anyone. Don’t make unnecessary sacrifices.”

“But…”

Zao Nian interrupted him. “Think of our clansmen still waiting for us at the foot of the mountain. You can’t leave them alone.”

Hearing this, Chen Yuan could only remain silent.

“Let’s go.” Zao Nian carried Eggy on his back. “If we go down the mountain now, at least we can save this child’s life.”

There was nothing Chen Yuan could do. He could only carry the unconscious Jian Yi and follow behind Zao Nian. He quickly ran down the mountain.

Not long after they left, they heard a loud bang!

The entire temple was blasted into ruins!

The golden light almost lit up half the sky. All the beasts in the city noticed this scene and could not help but look up in the direction of the divine mountain. They immediately started to talk about it.

At this moment, Huanhuan was squatting on the ground with her hands on her head. Her heart was filled with despair.

She was dead meat this time!

However, after the explosion, she did not feel the expected pain.

She couldn’t help but look up, only to find her surroundings pitch-black.

She reached out to touch the space before her and ended up touching the thorny Soul-Devouring Vines. Her fingertips were accidentally scratched, and it hurt so much that she shrank back.

A Soul-Devouring Vine wrapped itself around her finger and brushed away the blood that seeped out.

Huanhuan tried to ask, “Xing Chen, did you save me?”

“Mhm.”

Huanhuan relaxed. “Thank you.”

It was too dark to see anything. She took out the flint and lit the torch.

With the help of the fire, she realized that she was surrounded by countless vines.

It was unknown how many layers of vines were wrapped around her. They were tightly bound around her, and no light could enter.

She was very safe here.

“Huanhuan…

Hearing Xing Chen calling her again, Huanhuan replied, “Yes?”

Then there was silence.

Huanhuan panicked and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why did you call me?”

After a while, Xing Chen called her again.

“Huanhuan…

She became more and more anxious. “What happened to you?”

“Huanhuan…

“Huanhuan…

“Huanhuan…

He didn’t say anything. He just called her name over and over again.

The vines in front of Huanhuan loosened bit by bit, and light seeped in from the outside.

The light made her eyes uncomfortable, so she turned her head involuntarily. When her eyes gradually adapted to the light, she looked out.

The outside was in ruins.

Not to mention the 10,000 Beast Temple, even the divine mountain was split in half.

He Zong had already dissipated, completely turning into ashes.

The surrounding vines fell to the ground.

There were a lot fewer of them, and they were of different lengths. The surface of the vines was covered in wounds, and they looked like they were on the verge of death.

Obviously, these injuries were caused by He Zong’s self-destruction when Xing Chen was protecting Huanhuan.

The power of a demigod’s self-destruction was too strong.

Even Xing Chen couldn’t resist it.

Huanhuan put away the torch, bit her finger, squeezed out some blood, and smeared it on the vines.

“Don’t be afraid. With my blood, you’ll recover quickly.”

However, it was useless.

Her blood was smeared onto the surface of the Soul-Devouring Vines. However, not only did the vines not heal, but they also burned the surface of the vines like flames.

Little Brat reminded her, “Your blood is a life-saving medicine to normal people, but to demons, it’s a fatal poison. You can’t save him.”

“How can this be?” Huanhuan was in disbelief.

She looked at the Soul-Devouring Vines that were gradually withering in front of her, and her eyes involuntarily turned red. “Xing Chen, pull yourself together. Don’t die!”

Xing Chen’s voice sounded very weak. “I really can’t take it anymore.”

Huanhuan ignored the danger of being scratched by the thorns and reached out to pick up the Soul-Devouring Vines. She said in a trembling voice, “You have to hold on. I’ll bring you down the mountain to find the witch doctor now. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll go find Yin Ji. He knows everything. He definitely knows how to save you!”

“If anyone sees you taking me down the mountain, they’ll think you’re colluding with the demons. They’ll kill you.”

“I’m not afraid!”

Xing Chen said, “But I don’t want them to kill you. You’re mine. Even if you die, you can only die in my hands.”

With difficulty, he lifted a vine and wrapped it around Huanhuan’s neck.

“I’m dying. Can you die with me? I want to be with you forever…”

Huanhuan ignored the vine on her neck and used all her strength to run down the mountain with the Soul-Devouring Vines.

But the Soul-Devouring Vines were too heavy.

She hadn’t taken more than two steps before she fell to the ground, bruising her elbows and knees.

Xing Chen increased his strength bit by bit.

The Soul-Devouring Vines wrapped around her neck tighter and tighter. She could not breathe and was almost suffocating.

She did not struggle. She raised her hand with difficulty and touched the Soul-Devouring Vines. “Xing Chen…”

He had saved her life, so it was only right for her to return the favor.

As for Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, Xue Liang, and the children, they could only wait to meet her again in their next lives.
