Chapter 85: Visage of a demon god.

“Sit down here, i'll finish up here quickly and then we can take care of your wounds.”

Yao Jun gently helped Guo Luo sit down as he spoke, leaning her back against the entrance of the cave. Guo Luo did not reject, as she barely had the strength to even stand. After Yao Jun helped Guo Luo sit down, he turned to face the 11 people again.

After he turned to face the 11 people, Ba-Shei raised it's body, coiling it's entire body around Yao Jun, resting it's head on his right shoulder. A grayish-azure light flashed out from his chest, manifesting as Sirius on his left side.

“As I have already said, there is no need for any of you to leave here today.”

Yao Jun's voice was so cold that it sent a shiver up the spines of the 11 people. They could tell that the youth in front of them was only at the late stage of the 1st Mortal Earth, weaker than their Senior Brother, but they still felt an inexplicable fear when they faced him.

After he finished his words, a black light flashed on Yao Jun's body and his armor appeared. But his armor looked different from before. The armor had turned almost completely black.

The once purple gauntlets had turned pitch black in color, only a few stripes of purple left as decoration. The once grayish-azure boots had also turned pitch black, only the claws remaining grayish-azure like they used to be. The only part on the back plate that stayed gray was the engraving of wings, while only the amber eyes from the serpent carving on his chest plate remained, everything else had turned pitch black.

“I do not think that murderers like you have any...”

The elegant youth clad in leather armor started speaking out after Yao Jun's armor appeared, his eyes narrowing. But before he managed to finish his sentence, he felt a stabbing pain in his body. His legs lost all strength as he fell down into a kneeling position.

He looked down and turned pale when he saw the cause of the pain. His arms and legs had turned into pincushions. Several finger thick tendrils of darkness had shot out from his own shadow and pierced through his arms and legs, even his abdomen was pierced through.

With a turn of his head, he could see that he was not the only one who suffered this fate, even his Junior Sisters and Brothers had been forced to their knees. He was not only shocked to discover that he had not even felt anything before he was pierced, but also terrified when he noticed his knees sink into the ground. To be more correct, his knees were sinking into the darkness beneath him.

Just as he was focused on his sinking knees, he heard a low thump coming from the front. He felt a terrible unease as he raised his head. He saw Yao Jun slowly walk over, a black sword had somehow appeared in his right hand as he was walking towards them.

But Yao Jun did not walk towards the elegant youth, nor did he walk over to the youth that had hit Guo Luo. He walked over to the other people who had arrived with the elegant youth.

He stopped next to one of the people, a female youth with a pretty face and a fiery hot body. He looked at her with cold eyes as he raised his right arm, resting the black sword against her neck. After keeping the sword there for a short moment, he made a quick chop, separating her head from her body.

The head fell to the ground and sank into the darkness, vanishing from sight. The girls body also sank into the ground after her head vanished, disappearing into the darkness. These people would make for good food for Ba-Shei.

After he beheaded the girl, he slowly walked over to the next person and repeated the process. He continued to do so for the others, slowly walking towards them and resting his sword on their neck, before beheading them. In the end, only the elegant youth and the person who had punched Guo Luo remained.

They did not think that they would be spared, they knew why they were the last to be killed. One had given the order to capture the girl, while the other had hurt her. The only reason they were still alive was because this youth wanted to fill them with fear.

And he completely succeeded. The sound of his feet hitting the ground filled them with fear whenever they heard it. Nobody wanted to die, especially like this, without being able to do a single thing.

The youth wore pitch black armor and held a pitch black sword dripping with blood in his hand. With a demonic serpent coiled around his body and a wolf walking at his side, he looked like the visage of a demon god. The sun had just barely risen, so there was only a faint light that covered the area. It would be the last thing these two people ever saw, but it was also the most hauntingly beautiful scene they would ever see.

After he beheaded the two of them, the black armor and sword disappeared in a flash of black light. Yao Jun returned Ba-Shei and Sirius into the Demon God's Gate and walked over to Guo Luo.

He did not say anything, he only bent forward and picked up Guo Luo into a princess carry. After he picked her up, he walked away from the spot where they had just been, walking until he found a small stream. While he was carrying her, Guo Luo did not say anything either, she simply put her hands around his neck and nuzzled her face against his chest, enjoying the warmth.

Yao Jun gently put down Guo Luo next to the stream and quickly prepared a small campfire. He took out a small pot from his interspatial ring and filled it with water, he then placed it on the fire. Once the water was boiling, he took out several medicinal herbs from his Demon God's Gate and threw them into the pot.

He boiled them until they had completely mixed with the water, turning into a thick paste with a deep green color and a refreshing smell. While he waited for the paste to cool down, he took out a piece of cloth from his interspatial ring and dipped it into the stream.

Once the cloth was soaked with clean water, he gently removed Guo Luo's robe. She wore underwear, so she was not naked, but she still felt rather embarrassed, a charming blush spreading on her face.

“This might hurt, but please bear it.”

He spoke softly, placing his hand on her right shoulder. Guo Luo grit her teeth, and Yao Jun pulled out the remains of the arrow from her shoulder. He threw away the remains and used the wet cloth to gently clean her wound, making sure that there was no dirt or blood left.

After he cleaned the wound on her shoulder, he rinsed the piece of cloth in the stream. Once it was clean again, he used it to gently wash her face, removing all traces of blood and dirt. He worked slowly and carefully, like he was scared of inflicting even the slightest amount of pain.

After cleaning her face, he moved onto the wound on her hip. The wound had already started closing because of the multicolored energy that had surrounded it after she passed out, but there was still blood and dirt around the wound.

Once Yao Jun finished cleaning all her wounds, the medicinal paste had cooled down enough. He grabbed the paste and applied it to any wound he could find, even the small scrapes that the branches had inflicted on her body were covered with medicinal paste.

After he finished applying the paste, he took out some bandages from his interspatial ring and applied them to the wounds, completely covering the medicinal paste. Once her wounds were bandaged, he made her take out a yellow qipao from her interspatial ring and helped her get dressed.

They did not leave after he helped her dress. Yao Jun sat down and allowed Guo Luo to nuzzle close to his body. After they sat there and watched the stream in silence for a few minutes, he gently held onto her chin and placed another kiss on her lips.

“I promise, I will never leave you.”
