Chapter 835 - 762: Ling Yihang Is Swallowed

Chapter 835: Chapter 762: Ling Yihang Is Swallowed

Tu Xiao’an took one last faint look at the dying Ling Yihang. Without a shred of pity, he raised his hand.

Ling Yihang’s entire body levitated into the air. Powerless to struggle, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Don’t worry. I am a snake. I’ll swallow you in one bite, so you won’t feel any pain," Tu Xiao’an said with a faint smile.

Immediately after, Tu Xiao’an’s upper body transformed directly into a massive snake head. Spiritual and fierce, it lunged to swallow the suspended Ling Yihang.

But right at that moment, an overwhelming, earth-shattering power surged toward his back.

He thought, "Hmm?" Tu Xiao’an didn’t turn around. A wave of Qi erupted around him, instantly dissipating the incoming impact.

Suddenly, Du Jun appeared in front of Ling Yihang, standing face-to-face with Tu Xiao’an.

"Snake Emperor, you cannot swallow him."

Du Jun didn’t dare call the other party a Snake Demon now. That would be highly disrespectful, and he was keenly aware of his current predicament. Ling Yihang deserved to die, but he was still the top boss of S City and an officially certified Rank Three Perfect War God. How could such a figure be swallowed by a demon? Where would humanity’s official dignity be?

"You want to protect him?" Tu Xiao’an shifted back to his normal appearance. With a cold glance, the surrounding temperature immediately dropped. He stared coldly at Du Jun and added, "If I remember correctly, he was trying to kill you just moments ago. I was the one who saved you."

Du Jun couldn’t help but shudder under Tu Xiao’an’s gaze. This Snake Emperor’s aura was simply too overpowering. He gulped.

"A nation has its laws, and a family has its rules. This is human territory, and Ling Yihang is a human War God. Even if he is guilty, he should be handed over to the authorities for judgment, not swallowed by you."

Hand him over to the authorities? Tu Xiao’an laughed. Did that mean he had gone through all this trouble for nothing, without reaping any benefits?

A Rank Three Perfect War God was a rare delicacy. Whether it was Ling Yihang’s War God Golden Core or his Power of Light, both were irresistible to Tu Xiao’an.

"Is this how you speak to your savior? Get out of the way. I’ve been polite enough to you already. Otherwise, I wouldn’t spare your Third stage Peak Golden Core, either." As Tu Xiao’an spoke, greed flashed in his eyes.

"This is B City. It’s human territory, not your Yaoling Mountain Range. I ask the Snake Emperor to conduct himself with dignity."

Conduct himself with dignity, my ass! Tu Xiao’an rolled his eyes and reached a hand toward Du Jun. The already heavily injured Du Jun was forcefully dragged forward, and that hand clamped firmly around his throat.

"If you want to live, stay put and behave. Sparing your life is already this Snake Emperor’s greatest display of sincerity to you human authorities."

With that, Tu Xiao’an flicked his wrist, tossing Du Jun aside like a piece of trash. A dignified Third stage Peak War God was treated like a lowly minion in front of Tu Xiao’an.

Du Jun rolled several times across the ground before spitting out a mouthful of blood. His injuries had worsened. He glared at Tu Xiao’an with wide, bell-like eyes, suddenly furious but not daring to speak out. He had tried his best, but he couldn’t stop it.

"Brother Dou, I, Ling Yihang, have let you down." The suspended Ling Yihang’s eyelids drooped as he spoke weakly. A dying man’s words were always spoken in earnest. He had wanted to kill Du Jun, yet Du Jun was still trying to protect him. This gesture moved him slightly, although it was completely useless. "I didn’t expect the Snake Emperor of the Yaoling Mountain Range to be so strong. For me, Ling Yihang, to die at your hands... it isn’t an unjust fate."

It wasn’t unjust, but Ling Yihang still felt rather suffocated by it, because he hated demons more than anything in his life. He had slaughtered countless demons, yet in the end, he couldn’t escape the fate of dying at the hands of a demon.

Tu Xiao’an remained cold and indifferent. Without another word, he opened his mouth at Ling Yihang. The massive snake head materialized once more. With its gaping, blood-red maw, it cleanly and decisively swallowed Ling Yihang in a single gulp.

Du Jun closed his eyes, unable to bear watching. It was suffocating and humiliating. No matter how heinous Ling Yihang’s crimes were, he shouldn’t have been swallowed by a demon like this. Where was the majesty of the human authorities?

However, right here, right now, this snake was the one calling the shots. No one could stop him. As the top boss of B City, Du Jun had absolutely no say in front of this snake.

After swallowing him in one bite, Tu Xiao’an’s eyes brightened. His entire body began to emit a radiant glow as brutal energy surged wildly within him. His stomach felt full. Incredibly full.

Immediately after, Tu Xiao’an sat down cross-legged on the spot. Not only did he need to completely absorb Ling Yihang’s Rank Three Perfect War God Golden Core, but he also intended to strip away his Elemental Light Power.

This was definitely a massive harvest. Especially the Elemental Light Power. As long as he seized it, then Tu Xiao’an, this snake, would possess the Seven Great Elements Power. With both light and darkness gathered in one body, whenever he wanted the sky to brighten, it would brighten; whenever he wanted it to darken, the sun and moon would lose their luster. What a domineering prospect that was!

In addition, Tu Xiao’an also possessed Water and Fire Dual Control, Thunderstruck capabilities, Golden Element Body Protection, and Thousand Mile Ice Freeze.

With Ling Yihang swallowed, the enveloping Invincible Domain instantly dissipated. Everyone reappeared in the Demon Management Bureau of B City.

Seeing that the Invincible Domain was gone, and noticing the snake sitting cross-legged as if having forgotten about it, the Ghost Demon immediately shifted from solid to ethereal, transforming into a ghostly shadow. Run. If it didn’t run now, when would it?

"Ghost Demon, don’t run!" Du Jun spotted it and let out a loud shout.

"CACKLE! Your injuries are even worse than mine! Do you want me to possess you?" the Ghost Demon said in a sinister tone, giving Du Jun a cold look.

Du Jun was startled. It was true—being tossed by that snake just now had added insult to his injuries. He instantly froze. A Ghost Demon’s possession was nothing to joke about.

Before leaving, the Ghost Demon shot a vicious glare at the cross-legged snake. It would remember today’s grudge.

Du Jun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The Ghost Demon couldn’t be allowed to escape. Otherwise, the deaths of so many city bosses today would have been in vain.

"Snake Emperor, get up quickly! The Ghost Demon is getting away!"

This snake had started meditating right after swallowing Ling Yihang, turning a deaf ear to everything around him. Du Jun knew the other party was currently absorbing Ling Yihang’s power, but couldn’t he kill the Ghost Demon first and absorb the power later?

"I am leaving. We will meet again next time." Seeing that the snake didn’t react at all to Du Jun’s roar, the Ghost Demon completely relaxed. Immediately after, the Ghost Demon’s shadow began to sink into the ground.

Suddenly, the ground beneath it exploded, blasting the Ghost Demon back out.

"Who goes there? Who dares stop me from leaving?!" The Ghost Demon bristled with anger, only to see a demonic-looking man gazing at it faintly.

Du Jun was greatly shocked to see this demonic-looking man. He had seen him before; back when he hadn’t been injured yet, this person had fought against him. His strength was unfathomable, and now, he had appeared again.

"Ghost Demon, my master hasn’t given you permission to leave." Artifact Spirit Xiaoyang chuckled softly. "My master still has questions for you. You’d better wait for him somewhere else."

With a wave of his hand, the Ghost Demon vanished on the spot, completely unable to put up the slightest resistance. As for where it vanished to, no one knew. It was simple, effortless, and casual.

Du Jun was instantly dumbfounded, feeling as if he had been struck over the head with a club. He gulped and asked, "Where did you put the Ghost Demon?"

"I put it inside my body," Artifact Spirit Xiaoyang said, looking at Du Jun. "Do you want to go in there too?"

"Body?" Du Jun stared at the demonic-looking man. Surprisingly, he couldn’t sense the other party’s aura at all. He seemed neither human nor demon. He wondered what kind of existence this truly was.
