Chapter 1930 “h.e.l.l Domain (4)”
“You two stay in the Demon Realm and watch over everyone. I alone am enough to head into the h.e.l.l Domain.”
If the danger posed by the place was so great that even Di Cang couldn’t handle, then there’s no point in bringing others along. They wouldn’t be able to help, which mean unnecessary casualties.
So, this time she was going to go alone.
“But…”
“No, it’s an order!”
Bai Yan’s voice was loud and authoritative. Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she turns to Suzaku: “Take me to the entrance of that h.e.l.l Domain now. Afterward, return and watch over everyone. I believe with the four of you and the demon elders, no one will be able to threaten you guys to the point it’s unmanageable.”
Suzaku’s body trembled, her face gradually growing solemn and pained: “Yes Mistress, I will definitely protect the little ones in your absence.”
“Also…” the phoenix lady pauses like she’s sobbing, “Mistress must bring back the king, and return to us safely.”
Bai Yan didn’t say much more since her heart was a total mess after the connection with her husband was gone.
……
h.e.l.l Domain.
As the name suggests, a cold blast of wind hit the demon queen in the face the moment she stepped through the portal.
It’s bone chilling to the point even her current strength was barely enough to keep her from freezing over.
“I wonder where Di Cang is….”
Bai Yan lowered her eyes, staring down at the white expanse of the world around. Then an idea hit her like spark, “Suzaku said the only way to make it through is by walking. If Di Cang is still waiting for me, I will find him no matter the difficulty of the road up ahead!”
Szzzz!
One step, that’s all that was needed to feel something sharp sc.r.a.ping against her sole. It’s at a spiritual level, therefore no shoe could deny this pain.
Then came the rain as if on cue. These droplets of water approached her in piercing fas.h.i.+on. It’s almost enough to break through her defenses and ripple holes into her flesh.
Bai Yan naturally fell into shock by the magnitude of danger this pa.s.sage possessed. The ground sc.r.a.ped her feet, the temperature cold enough to freeze, and the rain were bullets that wanted to poke holes into her. Without delay, she promptly drew her G.o.dslayer and began repelling anything she could.
Sadly, there’s no chance she would be able to stop all of the droplets with a mere sword. Before long, her whole figure had become a bloodied mess. Not lethal, but the surface layer of the skin had become roughed up hard.
As the complexion grew worse due to the excessive blood loss, Bai Yan’s movement grew slower and slower with each pa.s.sing minute. Then it dawned on her. Trying to protect herself like this was pointless. The droplets would cut her skin, yes, but it’s not enough to break through her actual flesh and bone if she continued to put up resistance with her energy. Therefore, after a second of deliberation, the demon queen withdrew her G.o.dslayer and trekked forward.
No armor, no weapon, simply herself, Bai Yan felt so tired and hurt during this arduous journey. She doesn’t know how long she’s been walking, nor the time of day. One thing’s for sure though, if not for the alchemic healing elixirs in her possession, there would be no way she could’ve done this and died from the pain alone.
It explains why Suzaku and Di Cang would be hesitant to tell her about this h.e.l.l Domain. It’s not somewhere a human should come, ever!
