My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1016: The Army Approaches the Borders

"Heavenly fire?"

The scorching aura made Yuan Hong stagger forward, and he almost spat blood.

Pfft, but he discovered he spat nothing.

Yuan Hong instantly flew into a rage, his sharp claws coming for my neck, "Playing tricks on me?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The speed was as fast as lightning. I stood on the Golden Lotus, only managing to barely dodge.

A large gash was cut into my shoulder as I had just taken out the fire charm.

The fire charm was torn into pieces by the powerful Demon Qi.

At the moment, I couldn’t release heavenly fire strong enough to counter Yuan Hong, whose speed was comparable to Yu Longting’s current stage.

His next claw was aimed directly at my heart, with no way for me to dodge.

The cold air attack from Shenshen was strong but couldn’t hit Yuan Hong, instead striking several innocent Old Apes.

Yu Rongling was the most inexperienced, dazzled by the chaos, unable to intervene.

He didn’t even have the qualification to pick up experience.

Before I could react, Huang Wude opened his arms, heroically shielding me, "Don’t hurt Wan’er."

Yuan Hong’s claws tore down Huang Wude’s face, ripping off half of his skin, opening wide holes in his chest and abdomen.

"You... you..." I reflexively caught Huang Wude’s falling body, "Yuan Hong was right, there’s something wrong with your head. Do we know each other well? Why... did you do this."

"I don’t know... where feelings arise, love is deep..." Huang Wude’s mouth gushed with blood, his organs almost spilling out of his abdomen, yet he continued to jest, "I just like you, I... can’t control it... if you weren’t so beautiful, so fierce... maybe it’d be better..."

The intense smell of blood excited Yuan Hong immensely; he roared, "None of you will escape today, I will consume you all."

At the same time, hisses of snakes echoed from the mountain below in the late night.

"Release the Lady of the Snake Lord, our Second Master, and our Ginseng Spirit! Or my Snake Tribe army will flatten this pathetic place." Chang Hao’s voice was transmitted up by Art, expressing disappointment, "We once bonded as brothers, yet you dared extend your hand towards our Snake Sect."

"Chang Hao has come, my lord. If he attacks the mountain, we’re all doomed." The White Apes, hearing the Snake Tribe army was at the foot of the mountain with Chang Hao in command, were thrown into a panic.

However, I knew Yuan Hong wouldn’t let us go; he had recently indulged greatly.

His body was severely depleted; without consuming humans or absorbing power from the demon clans, he wouldn’t last more than a stick of incense before dying of old age.

Even with a massive army at the gates, Yuan Hong couldn’t relent.

Unless he intends to end his life...

I dipped my fingers in Huang Wude’s blood, drawing wind and fire overlapping talismans in my palm.

Ready to fight Yuan Hong to the death the moment he acted.

Yuan Hong pursed his lips, surprisingly saying, "All of you can leave; I also agree for you to take all the food in the warehouse."

As he said this, his fierce gaze was already searching among the White Apes.

I knew clearly, like a bright mirror, that Yuan Hong intended to resort to cannibalism.

As a Tomb Guardian, he had his responsibilities and couldn’t let himself die easily.

But what did that have to do with us?

"Alright, thank you, Senior Yuan Hong. The kidnapped infants should be in these boxes in the warehouse. I’ll have the snake swarm come up to help carry them away," I said to Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong was at his wit’s end, indifferent to everything, "Whatever, you, you, you! You three come with me."

"No, no... no... I won’t go."

"I don’t want to die..."

...

The three Old White Apes, each at least a millennium old, foresaw their fate, fearfully turning to flee for their lives.

Yuan Hong, expressionless, effortlessly picked up four, taking two in each hand.

One was particularly unfortunate, caught solely because it was closer, quickly grabbed away.

Inside the warehouse, there was no signal on my phone. I temporarily placed the heavily injured Huang Wude on the ground, handing him over to Yu Rongling to care for.

Walking out of the warehouse, I planned to send a message to Chang Hao.

As I raised my eyes, under the moonlight, a woman with skin so fair it glowed appeared, her cool and elegant figure gracefully approaching, "Are you hurt? Why is there so much blood on you? Did Yuan Hong do this?"
