The Demon Lord sighed lightly, and then the demonic energy that had been exhausted quickly surged. For a moment, even Zhao Xiaoqing could not match it.

Zhao Xiaoqing said in shock, "You actually chose to burn your soul, are you crazy?"
"Haha, I'm going to die today anyway, so let me give you a surprise. You forced me to do this."

Zhao Xiaoqing retreated quickly upon seeing this. Although he had absorbed the Demon Lord's original demonic energy and his strength had greatly increased, the Demon Lord was also a powerful saint after all, and his desperate attack was definitely not something he could withstand.

The only thing he could do now was to avoid the attack. He made a gesture with his hands and several black flags appeared in his hands. As the flags flew into the air, the surrounding space was directly sealed.

Zhao Xiaoqing stood outside the formation and watched everything inside quietly. Although he could increase his strength by burning his essence, this was also a way of playing with fire and getting burned. Zhao Xiaoqing concluded that with the Demon Lord's current strength, he could only last five minutes at most.

And within these five minutes, the Demon Lord cannot break through his formation. These black flags are the Holy Soul Flags, the most precious treasure in the Demon Realm. Even a strong saint cannot break them in a short period of time.

At this time, in addition to Demon Lord Huan Ji, Zhou Chen and the other two, there were also several Dharma protectors who did not have time to retreat.

The Demon Lord killed them instantly without distinguishing between friend and foe. Fortunately, he regained consciousness when he came in front of Huan Ji. Huan Ji waited for a long time with her eyes closed but the Demon Lord did not attack her. She opened her eyes and found that the Demon Lord was looking at her with red eyes.

Seeing this, Huan Ji rushed over and hugged him and sobbed. The Demon Lord raised his hand and patted his forehead.

"I'm useless. As the Demon Lord, I couldn't even protect my own daughter in the end." Then he turned to look at Zhou Chen who was lying on the ground.

Originally thinking that the Demon Lord would kill him, Zhou Chen tried his best to crawl backwards, but he was too weak and all his efforts were in vain.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Demon Lord actually injected his own original energy directly into Zhou Chen's body, helping him recover from his injuries instantly.

Suddenly, a violent aura burst out from Zhou Chen's body, directly knocking the Demon Lord away. Seeing this, Huan Ji hurried forward and supported the Demon Lord.

Zhou Chen, who had recovered from his injuries, turned his head with a puzzled look at the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord did not look at him, but used his last bit of strength to hand a token to Huan Ji, "I can't do it anymore. Although that bitch Zhao Xiaoqing absorbed my original demonic energy just now, her strength should have broken through the holy realm, but the open fire poison in my body also entered her body. This is my token that can help you leave here. Take that guy away from here quickly, and don't let him fall into Zhao Xiaoqing's hands."

After saying that, the remaining original energy in his body merged into Huan Ji's body, helping him recover from his injuries.

Zhao Xiaoqing, who was standing outside the formation, also heard their conversation. He then felt it carefully and found that there was indeed a burning flame in his dantian, but it was too weak so he did not notice it before.

"You old thief is so despicable," he said as he was about to open the barrier and attack him.

The next moment, Huan Ji came to Zhou Chen. Although she was extremely angry, she did not choose to take action now.

Huan Ji directly used the token of the Demon Lord to open a space crack, and teleported away from here before Zhao Xiaoqing came in.

Watching Zhou Chen and the other two leave, Zhao Xiaoqing roared in anger. Seeing this, his subordinates wanted to step forward to comfort them, but they were slapped to death by Zhao Xiaoqing. Then he ordered, "Pass the order, find Zhou Chen no matter what the cost."

The subordinates did not dare to say anything more and just bowed their hands to accept the order and left. After they left, Zhao Xiaoqing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

On the other side, at the border of Yunmeng Country, a space crack opened, and Zhou Chen and Huan Ji walked out from it. As soon as Zhou Chen came out, he suddenly attacked. Huan Ji had been on guard against this guy, and she noticed it the moment he attacked.

After all, there was a huge gap between the two of them, and Zhou Chen still lost a move, but Huan Ji did not choose to kill him. Seeing that the killing weapon against his throat had not been stabbed out, Zhou Chen asked, "Why don't you do it?"
Huan Ji's tears fell from her eyes again. I will pay you back what I owe you sooner or later. After saying this, she turned around and left.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen chased after him directly, and Yue stabbed him directly in the back. A chill came over him, and Huan Ji turned around directly, but he did not dodge.

Zhou Chen's heart tightened when he saw his appearance, but he finally did not stab him.

“Why can’t I do it?”
Zhou Chen put away the sword and said, "I'll let you live two more days."

Time flies and it is already ten months later. During this time, Zhou Chen has been staying with Huan Ji. Although Zhou Chen hates Huan Ji to the extreme, this body belongs to Leng Yiyao after all. Zhou Chen can't bring himself to kill her every time. Huan Ji sneers in response, as if she has him beat. Huan Ji even says arrogantly, "If one day you make up your mind, just tell me and I will never fight back."

During this period, the entire demon clan came out in full force, searching for the two of them everywhere on the continent. The two of them were not idle either. During this period, Zhou Chen had been helping Huan Ji find the black air.

However, the black gas was too scarce and the two did not find any information about it. However, they did go to the Night Demon Kingdom. In the snowy area of ​​the Night Demon Kingdom, Zhou Chen collected a set of second-grade demon patterns and his strength increased greatly. Although he was still second-grade, his strength at this time had definitely surpassed the peak of the first grade.

At this time, he was already invincible below the Saint realm.

头部:虎纹+11（二品传说功力+400+155，实力提升60%+70%复制武技大须弥指+11）

左臂:蛇纹+11（二品传说功力+400+155，实力提升60%+70%复制武技冰霜裂空+11）

Right arm: Eagle pattern +11 (Second-level legendary power +400+155 Copy martial arts Frost Crack +11)

胸部:蛇纹+11（二品传说功力+400+155，实力提升60%+70%复制武技冰霜裂空+11）

左腿:熊纹+11（二品传说功力+400+155，实力提升60%+70%复制武技冰霜裂空+11）

右腿:虎纹+11（二品传说功力+400+144，实力提升60%+70%复制武技冰霜裂空+11）

The second-grade legendary items include two magical powers of Snow Region, three magical powers of Frost Storm, four magical powers of Mysterious Ice Armor, five magical powers of Sky-Splitting Slash, and six magical powers of Nothingness.

In order to complete this set of demon patterns, the two of them had to kill almost all the strong men in the entire Snow Region. This was also thanks to the help of Huan Ji. If it weren't for his first-class strength, Zhou Chen would not dare to attack so many masters in such a short time.

After spending some time together, for some reason Zhou Chen's hatred for him seemed to have lessened a lot. Thinking of this, Zhou Chen slapped himself hard. Seeing this, Huan Ji, who was standing by, looked at him strangely, and then involuntarily kept a distance from him.

This cannot be blamed on Zhou Chen. After all, this body belongs to Leng Yiyao, and Huan Ji's words and deeds are exactly the same as Leng Yiyao before. If someone hadn't told him the truth, Zhou Chen really wouldn't have been able to see his flaws.

One day, the two were resting in the forest, when suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky. Before they could react, the surrounding scene changed, and in a blink of an eye they had arrived in the demon world.

Zhou Chen looked around vigilantly, feeling the surrounding atmosphere, Zhou Chen asked puzzledly, "What's going on? Why did we suddenly come to the Demon Realm?"
Huan Ji frowned and said, "It should be the Holy Soul Flag." Only the Holy Soul Flag, the treasure of the Demon Realm, has this ability.
