章 8: The Devil God

Hearing Xiu Wu's question, Zhu Lin frowned slightly and asked, "You… don't know who I am?"

Listening to her question, Xiu Wu sneered and asked back: "Do I need to know who you are?"

Zhu Lin thought something was wrong, lowered her sword, and used her divine sense to probe Xiu Wu's dantian. When her divine sense penetrated into his body, Xiu Wu felt a warm touch in his Dantian, and he felt a little strange. Not liking this feeling, he tried to expel this strange energy from his body.

Bang!

The moment his consciousness collided with Zhu Lin's divine sense, both of them were pushed away by the energy explosion and took a few steps back. The two looked up at the same time, and saw the same surprised expression in each other's eyes. No need to ask, Xiu Wu knew that the strange energy just now came from Zhu Lin.

Feeling that she violated him, Xiu Wu gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you do to me just now?"

It was only when Zhu Lin heard his deep and magnetic voice that she came back to her senses. She looked at him, narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why are you here? You shouldn't be here."

Hearing her asking the same question twice, Xiu Wu frowned slightly, and said, "Miss, I thought you had recognized the wrong person. I have never seen you before, and where I should be has nothing to do with you."

After speaking, he motioned his teammates to start removing the solar panels on the roof, while keeping his eyes on Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin saw that he had no intention of attacking her, so she sheathed her sword. Tu Tu, who was hiding behind those big pipes, saw that there was no usual confrontation between its master and the Devil God, so it decided to come out.

Tu Tu, who came out of its hiding place, kept staring at the Devil God. No one knows what that madman will do, so it's better to stay vigilant around him. Seeing those humans serving the Devil God, Zhu Lin slowly moved away from them.

When Tu Tu jumped onto her shoulder, Zhu Lin whispered: "Let's withdraw now. With my current conditions, it is impossible to fight against him. When I checked his Dantian just now, I discovered the devil core in his body. I don't know why there is a trace of divine energy in his Dantian, but I can be sure that he is the same Devil God that we knew. As far as I know, only he has such a devil core."

Hearing what she said, Tu Tu looked at their surroundings and said, "The Devil God is guarding the door, and there is no other way out except to jump down. Master, do you still have the wind talisman?"

She frowned slightly and said, "I only made one last night."

"Then what should we do?" Tu Tu asked worriedly.

Zhu Lin didn't answer Tu Tu's question, but bit her index finger and wrote a spell of ancient god language on her palm with her own blood. Xiu Wu smelled the smell of blood in the air, turned to look at Zhu Lin, and saw her biting her own finger.

Not understanding why she would do this, he frowned slightly and walked towards her.

Zhu Lin noticed his movement and looked up, only to see him approaching her with a slight frown. Her frown deepened, and her fingers quickened. Two seconds later, the spell was complete. With her left palm slammed onto the ground, the talisman in her palm lit up and transferred into the ground, where a bright dark green formation appeared on the ground.

While injecting her divine energy into the formation, Zhu Lin kept an eye on Xiu Wu's movements. Because the formation suddenly lit up, Xiu Wu stopped and shielded his eyes with his hand.

A few seconds later, whe the formation was complete, Zhu Lin said, "Come forth, Shang Yang!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a big bird flew out of the formation, making a shrill cry. A big six-winged, one-legged bird flew out of the formation, looking menacing. The bird's beak is so sharp, and when it spreads its wings, it covers the entire roof.

"Kii~!"

With her sword in her hand, Zhu Lin jumped towards the Shang Yang bird, and shouted: "Tu Tu!"

The rabbit quickly grabbed the hem of her sleeve, and they flew away on the giant Shang Yang bird. After the gust of wind disappeared and the dust settled, Xiu Wu stared blankly at the giant bird that flew towards the horizon. His teammates also looked at the giant bird that was getting smaller in the distance in silence.

One of them scratched his head and asked in a daze: "Brother Xiu… Did that beauty just summon a giant bird from the ground?"

Hearing his question, Xiu Wu was speechless for a moment, then nodded. "... Mhm."

After leaving the rooftop, the Shang Yang flew for a long time before slowly landing on the periphery of a forest. As soon as the Shang Yang landed, it disappeared because of the lack of divine energy, then Zhu Lin fell on her knees and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Master!"

Tu Tu was very anxious, and asked, "Master, are you alright?"

Zhu Lin wiped off the blood from her lips, and said hoarsely: "I'm fine. It's just that my meridians that just healed are severed again."

Tu Tu quickly searched in its spirit palace, took out several bottles of divine spring water, and said, "Master, drink it quickly."

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "Let's keep it for now. I lost my spirit palace, and there is no way to get the divine spring water in the future, unless I manage to form my god core and rebuild my spirit palace again."

"But, your injuries–"

Zhu Lin patted the anxious rabbit's head lightly, and said, "Don't worry. I just need to rest for a while."
