Chapter 382: Heart-eating Devil

“No one wants to die. Of course, I want to live.”

Demon of Fire answered unhesitatingly.

“Give me the 1,000-year-old snow lotus, and I will save you.”

Ding Ning said indifferently.

“This……”

Demon of Fire’s complexion changed constantly, and he felt it hard to make a decision. Although he could barely endure it now, he could not hold on for too long. Besides that, Woebegone Monk’s strange technique still prevented him from moving. It seemed that he would not be able to move before the corpse was burned to ashes.

Humans usually died in pursuit of wealth, but if he died, what was the use of the wonderful herb?

After measuring the situation, Demon of Fire easily made his decision, but what he only worried about was that Ding Ning would not keep his word. “How can I believe that you will save me after getting the 1,000-year-old snow lotus?”

“Take this, inject your True Qi, then you can start it, and you will not fear fire!”

Ding Ning threw out a Fire-suppressing Charm made of a small piece of red coral.

When Demon of Fire started the charm, the fire retreated as he had been told. Immediately, he was relieved, threw the wooden box to Ding Ning, and asked with a little strange expression, “You are a warlock?”

“What do you mean?”

Ding Ning took the wooden box and asked with somewhat confusion.

“Only some warlocks can make charms.”

Demon of Fire told Ding Ning the basic knowledge.

Ding Ning was startled, but he said calmly, “I’m not a warlock, and I learned it by chance.”

Finding that Ding Ning did not admit it, Demon of Fire knew that Ding Ning did not want to speak more about it, so he did not press, but he thought that Ding Ning must be a warlock. After all, he saw him take out the red coral to make the charm with his own eyes.

Silently, he decided that he would stay far away from Ding Ning in the future. Not only his scary fighting power but also his warlock’s profession terrified him a great deal.

Thinking of the plot of Long Eyebrow and Woebegone Monk, he became angry. “Can you break the matrix? Thief Long Eyebrow plotted against me, and I will never spare him.”

“I can’t break the matrix, but I can probably leave the matrix. Follow me.”

Ding Ning stowed away the wooden box. When he saw that Woebegone Monk had been burned to ashes, he turned around and walked to the outside.

Demon of Fire followed him unhesitatingly. In such a situation, he did not think about the Treasure or the snow lotus anymore and only wanted to get revenge on Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist.

“Hey, this is the life gate of the matrix. If we go through it, we are out of the matrix.”

After walking along the twisting path for a long time, Ding Ning pointed at the front and said indifferently.

“Aren’t you going out?”

Demon of Fire asked suspiciously.

“Not for now.”

Ding Ning said lightly. Before Demon of Fire spoke anything, he turned around and took a stride, disappearing into the roaring fire.

Demon of Fire was in a dilemma and thought about Ding Ning’s intention silently, “Does, does he want to deal with me and Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist when we have hurt each other?

“Right, it must be so.” Even if it was like this, he had no other choices. The Fire-suppressing Charm’s function had begun to weaken at the moment, and he did not dare to continue to stay in the great matrix at all. Ding Ning had set the duration of the charm, which was only enough for him to get out of the matrix.

“F*ck, everyone is so cunning. Do you guys really think I am an idiot?” Demon of Fire swore angrily in his mind. After making his mind to get out of the matrix, he left immediately and would not fight Long Eyebrow with his life to make profits for Ding Ning.

Unfortunately, Ding Ning had already foreseen that even if Demon of Fire did not go and fight Long Eyebrow with his life, the latter would not let him off.

So, when he strode out of the Eight Wild Flame Matrix, Long Eyebrow attacked him, so he could not leave although he wanted.

“Long Eyebrow, I f*ck your ancestors.”

Demon of Fire had been so angry. Now he was also nearly hurt by Long Eyebrow. With a shout, he began to fight Long Eyebrow.

“How did you come out? Where is Woebegone Monk?”

The horsetail whisk in Long Eyebrow’s hand mercilessly swept at Demon of Fire, and he also shouted a question.

“Woebegone Monk is waiting for you underground.”

Demon of Fire gave a hideous smile and attacked Long Eyebrow with a fierce and scorching Flame Palm.

“You killed Woebegone Monk, and I will kill you.”

Long Eyebrow and Woebegone Monk had been friends since their childhood. After becoming the Warriors, they traveled as partners around the complicated human world for decades and had become extremely good friends.

If there was a friend whom he could trust, that was only Woebegone Monk. Now hearing the grievous news, Long Eyebrow felt so sad. With bloodshot eyes, he fearlessly launched fierce attacks at Demon of Fire.

“Haha, funny, didn’t you want to kill me when you plotted against me at that time?”

Demon of Fire was furious but smiled and fearlessly attacked Long Eyebrow with his burning palms.

“Boom!” Waves of air billowed. Long Eyebrow had always been devoted to the matrix research, and his fighting power was a little inferior to Demon of Fire’s. Besides that, he also needed to sustain the operation of the matrix, so he became much weaker than Demon of Fire. Under the attack, he was forced to retreat one step after another and was in danger many times.

“Fire Burning the Sky!”

In an advantageous situation, Demon of Fire launched his powerful killing move in a haughty manner.

A hot wave of fire surged. Its terrifying high temperature ignited the horsetail whisk of Long Eyebrow, and then the rest of its power continued to move to Long Eyebrow.

Long Eyebrow rolled disgracefully on the ground, narrowly avoiding the attack. With an angry roar, he moved forward and launched himself at Demon of Fire.

“Does he want to die?” Demon of Fire was a little confused and thought, but he suddenly had a strong sense of danger and took steps back silently in an instant.

With a “whoosh”, Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist’s loose hair rubbed narrowly across his throat like a horsetail whisk, with a fierce wind that made his throat slightly painful.

Demon of Fire looked at Long Eyebrow with fear and never expected that the old Taoist’s move was so insidious and weird, for he could use his long hair as a weapon to launch a surprise attack. If he had not perceived the danger out of instinct and taken steps back in time, he was afraid his throat would have been cut.

Once he had fear, Demon of Fire became more restraint when he fought. At every moment, he kept alert and did not dare to allow his rival to go near him. Gradually, Long Eyebrow became not disadvantageous in fighting. Their fight came to a standoff.

“Take life and soul with thousands of hairs!”

Seeing that Demon of Fire kept a distance from him, Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist shook his head, and all his white hairs suddenly left his scalp and turned into numerous hair-thin arrows, whizzing at Demon of Fire.

This attack was so much beyond Demon of Flame’s expectation. Without precautions, he could not avoid it and had to summon up his courage to protect the important parts of his body with his palms and charge at Long Eyebrow. Even if he got hurt, he should kill him with his palms.

Long Eyebrow gave a strange smile and muttered, but he did not avoid his attack and only stood there silently.

Demon of Fire felt quite anxious, but he had launched the attack and could not hold it back, had no room to retreat, and could only hope that this desperate palm could work.

Numerous white hairs entered his body like steel needles. Although he had protected the important parts of his body, he could not help roaring painfully as these hairs entered him, and his move also paused because of it.

Instantly, he was shocked and found that his strength was flowing out along these white hairs and ceaselessly into Long Eyebrow’s body.

The strong sense of weakness made him lose the follow-up strength, and his moves became slower and slower. When the palm with all his might reached Long Eyebrow, it was already soft and powerless.

Long Eyebrow laughed wildly. “Go to hell!”

His white palm suddenly turned as dark as ink and fiercely went into Demon of Fire’s chest like an eagle’s claw. When he took his hand out, his hand had a heart, which was still beating.

Demon of Fire covered the blood hole in his chest and incredulously looked at Long Eyebrow with 9 points on his bald head, which were made by using a burning incense stick. Like a bloodthirsty devil, he put the heart into his mouth and began to chew with an enchanted expression, as if that was the most delicious food in the world.

“It turns out that you, you are the Heart-eating Devil…”

Demon of Fire was suddenly enlightened, but he fell down on his back with a “thunk”, and his eyes gradually faded to a dead gray, filled with unwillingness and resentment.

30 years ago in the Ancient Martial World, an old monk, who guarded the Sutra Pavilion in the top Buddhist temple Tongtian Temple, was unwilling to die and learned the demonic magic of eating hearts to elongate his lifespan from nowhere and made all the eminent monks in the temple pass out with drugs.

All the 786 eminent monks in the temple died because their hearts were taken. Overnight, Tongtian Temple was destroyed, and its miserable condition made everyone furious. All the great powers in the Ancient Martial World issued killing orders to pursue him.

Unexpectedly, the old monk did not have advanced cultivation, but since he had always been living in the Sutra Pavilion, he had read numerous books and learned the perfect art of transfiguration. After transfiguring himself, he hid in the group of pursuers and escaped again after he easily killed more than 30 people, who died also because their hearts were taken. In the complicated human world, he was called Heart-eating Devil.

After that, the old monk disappeared for more than 30 years, and no one had ever found him. The orders to kill him became a joke.

Unexpectedly, he became Senior Long-Eyebrow Taoist, partnered with Woebegone Monk, and won fame in the complicated human world. Although he had bad behavior, he had not shown insanity, so no one had ever thought that he was the Heart-eating Devil.

At the end of his life, Demon of Fire saw through his identity, but unfortunately, he could not tell the news to anyone.

“Woebegone Monk, it’s all my fault. If I have insisted that you should not enter the matrix, you would not have died. Now I have avenged you, so you can feel at ease.”

Long Eyebrow wept towards the great matrix, and his tears and the blood at the corners of his mouth blended, making him look as fierce as a ghost.

In those past years, the entire Ancient Martial World was eager to kill him. Although he had the magical art of transfiguration, he was almost caught several times.

When he came to a dead-end and nearly died, his childhood friend Woebegone Monk saved him at the risk of losing his prestige. Since then, they had changed their names and had been traveling around the complicated human world.

Although he knew that Woebegone Monk saved him because he was also at the end of his life and wanted to learn the way to elongate his lifespan by eating hearts, he still thanked him and had never thought about hurting him.

After all, he was the monster and devil that the entire world did not want, but eating human hearts was to elongate his lifespan, and it was not his hobby, so he also felt afraid and lonely and needed someone he trusted to be his company.

Woebegone Monk was not only his childhood friend, but he also served as the best cover for his identity. Above all, the two of them elongated their lives by eating human hearts, pitied each other, shared the same fate, and did not need to worry that one would betray the other.

So, the death of Woebegone Monk made him thump his breast and stamp his feet and become desperate, but whether he was sad because of their friendship or that he would lack a like-minded “eater friend”, it was hard to tell.

“Killing lives to take the treasure, trapping your allies, and eating human hearts, you are full of evil, you are insane, and you are not as good as an animal. I won’t feel guilty at all to kill a devil like you!”

Just as Long Eyebrow put on his white hair and wiped his tears away, ready to open the great matrix to take the Treasure, Ding Ning’s voice full of hatred came.

“You’re not dead? How is that possible?”

Seeing Ding Ning take a leisurely walk out of the great matrix without injury, Long Eyebrow opened his eyes wide out of shock.

“It is only a matrix, and it can’t hurt me!”

Ding Ning did not cover his roaring killing intention. Just as he spoke these words, he attacked Long Eyebrow with his fist at a ghostly speed. To such an insane Heart-eating Devil, he showed no mercy.

Long Eyebrow’s expression changed dramatically. Although Ding Ning’s Soul was dispirited and his fighting power was not in its golden time, his physical strength was still at its peak level. Thus, this punch had a terrifying explosive sound, so Long Eyebrow did not dare to belittle his enemy at all.

Besides that, he already had a fierce fight with Demon of Fire just now, and half of his True Qi had been spent. Although Demon of Fire’s heart could supply energy to him, he needed some time to digest it.
