Chapter 178 Dad!
The inner city of Wei.
The open space in front of the prison has turned into ruins.
The Phantom Star Demon stood floating in the air, holding two deep purple light balls in his palms.
Zhao Zimo and Zi Xiaoya half-knelt among the rubble, blood splattered all over the ground.
Zi Xiaoya wiped the blood off her face and grinned, "Zhao Datou, can you still hold on?"
"Small injury, nothing to worry about."
Zhao Zimo's arms were covered with scars, and the strength of his right hand holding the axe was also reduced, but even so, he still had a tough mouth.
The Phantom Star Demon let out a shrill laugh, "Why, that's all you can do? It seems like you so-called upright cultivators are nothing more than this!"
After saying that, it rubbed its hands together, and the two purple balls instantly merged, turning into a surging purple light, like a giant python choosing its prey, and pounced towards the two of them.
Seeing this, Zhao Zimo gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up, and swung the axe horizontally. The runes on the axe blade flickered, trying to block the fatal blow.
Zi Xiaoya also quickly stood up, grabbed the gravel on the ground, and shot out several cold rays in an attempt to disrupt the Phantom Star Demon's attack.
However, the purple light was too overbearing and easily broke through the obstruction of the cold light and hit the axe hard.
Zhao Zimo felt an overwhelming force coming at him, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to his knees again. His knuckles were cracked, and blood gushed out, staining the axe handle red.
"puff!--"
Zi Xiaoya rushed forward and supported Zhao Zimo, "Big Head Zhao!"
Zhao Zimo reached out to stop Zi Xiaoya and said in a deep voice, "I...I'm fine."
"fart!"
Zi Xiaoya's face showed impatience, and she angrily blamed him, "It's already this late, why are you still trying to be so stubborn?"
"Do you think you're handsome?"
"I bother!"
Zhao Zimo smiled bitterly, turned his head and looked in the direction of the outer city, his messy hair flying in the wind.
"Because there are things that must be done, I have to keep going." Zhao Zimo changed his hand and gripped the axe again. "As long as we delay for a while, the chances of them leaving Wei will increase."
After hearing his words, the Phantom Star Demon burst out laughing, "How naive! Could it be that I'm the only demon cultivator in the entire Wei Dynasty?"
Zi Xiaoya retorted, "As long as I can hold back a Jindan demon cultivator like you, even if it means sacrificing my own life, it's worth it!"
The Phantom Star Demon couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Perhaps you have forgotten who is actually in control of the Great Wei Kingdom—"
Zhao Zimo's face turned dark in an instant.
broken.
It’s Ji Xian!
Damn it, how could I have forgotten this! ?
Seeing Zhao Zimo's reaction, the Phantom Star Demon felt extremely happy. "You only understand now? It's too late!"
After saying that, he opened his arms, and countless purple demonic energy filled his body, transforming into countless stars.
Each fist-sized star contains immeasurable power.
Zhao Zimo gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaoya, you run first, I'll cover your retreat."
"Why?" Zi Xiaoya said indignantly, "How powerful do you think you are? Even if there were two more Jindan-stage demon cultivators, you wouldn't be able to defeat them!"
"I know," Zhao Zimo said loudly, "We're going to die anyway, but at least we can fight a little harder. What if there's still a chance of survival?"
The Phantom Star Demon looked at the scene in front of him arrogantly, "Stop struggling! No matter who runs first, you can't escape my Purple Fire Meteor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Phantom Star Demon waved his hand, and the stars seemed to suddenly start their motors and flew towards the two of them at an extremely fast speed.
"Xiao Ya, run!" Zhao Zimo roared, dragging his broken body and raising the giant axe to meet the meteors.
"No!——" Zi Xiaoya cried in pain.
Zhao Zimo was seen waving a huge axe, the axe blade was sharp, and every swing brought up a strong wind.
When the Axe Ninja collided with the stars, sparks flew and a deafening roar was heard.
But the stars kept coming, and the wounds on his body kept oozing blood, staining his clothes red, and his steps became more and more unsteady.
"Be prepared to face death!" The Phantom Star Demon shouted loudly, and several rays of magic light burst out from his dantian. "Purple Fire Meteor—explode for me!"
boom!
Countless meteors exploded in the sky, and Zhao Zimo was thrown out like a kite with a broken string.
He spat out large mouthfuls of blood, which splattered in the air, leaving a bloody red scene.
Seeing this, Zi Xiaoya rushed towards the direction where Zhao Zimo was flying, desperately wanting to catch him before he landed.
"Big Head Zhao!"
Zi Xiaoya shouted, her voice becoming hoarse with anxiety.
When Zhao Zimo was about to fall to the ground, Zi Xiaoya used all her spiritual power to cushion the impact, and the two of them fell heavily to the ground, raising a large amount of dust.
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhao Zimo was barely breathing, his skin was covered with charred wounds, blood was oozing out, staining Zi Xiaoya's clothes red.
"Zhao Datou, you are not allowed to die!" Zi Xiaoya said fiercely.
"Don't worry about me... Let's go..." Zhao Zimo said with difficulty, "Go protect Yuguan... Help me take good care of him..."
Zi Xiaoya's eyes were completely red. "Your lover, go by yourself! You have to stay alive until you ensure his safety!"
Zhao Zimo forced his eyes open weakly, and saw the Phantom Star Demon slowly walking towards them.
"What a wonderful friendship, sharing weal and woe! Even I feel a little moved," the Phantom Star Demon sneered. "If that's the case, then I'll kill you all—"
"On the road to the underworld, it's not lonely at all!"
After saying that, the Phantom Star Demon stretched out his palm and was about to slap the two men on the head.
Zi Xiaoya stood in front of Zhao Zimo, looking at the Phantom Star Demon angrily, "You son of a bitch, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
The Phantom Star Demon had an evil smile on his face, "Don't worry, just a gentle push will make sure your souls fly away—"
However, just as the Phantom Star Demon was about to take action, a powerful voice came from the sky.
"Monster, how dare you lay a hand on this emperor's daughter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden spear fell from the sky and pierced straight into the Phantom Star Demon.
"not good!"
The Phantom Star Demon's face changed instantly and he immediately retreated a hundred meters.
call out! ——
The golden spear, with tremendous force, pierced into the place where the Phantom Star Demon had just stood.
The ground was instantly covered in dirt and rocks, and the powerful impact caused ripples in the surrounding space.
"High-level Golden Core?!" Phantom Star Demon said in disbelief.
Zi Xiaoya opened her eyes wide, her heart filled with shock, and for a moment she forgot what to say.
Zhao Zimo struggled to get up from the ground, put his hand on Zi Xiaoya's shoulder, and looked up at the sky in astonishment.
The clouds slowly dispersed, and a majestic and huge Qilin came walking on the clouds. Its pair of big copper bell eyes seemed to contain the sun, moon and stars, and it was staring at the Phantom Star Demon with wide eyes.
And on the back of the Qilin, there was a man with an angry face sitting upright.
Zi Xiaoya came back to her senses, tears welling up in her eyes, and she blurted out -
"father!"
