Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1568 - 1403: Descent

Fortunately.

There were no NPCs around the walls, so no innocents were harmed. The Fire God didn’t care about the damage to the wall and flew directly into the air. After surveying the scene in the city, he headed towards the gathering of NPCs.

Poor Su Ran was suspended in mid-air, looking like a bungee jumper whose cord had lost its elasticity, an extremely uncomfortable feeling. His brain had already forgotten how to think. In normal circumstances, he would have shaken off the chains long ago instead of continuing this self-torture!

...

In the Fire God city, an old crone hovered in the air, her face stern as she looked down below. Old Man Fan lay on the ground motionless, it was unclear whether he was dead or alive. The rest of the residents hid far away from the crone, their eyes filled with fear.

The fiery seal that had covered the sky above the Fire God city had long since disappeared. It was unclear whether the Shadow Heart Demon hidden in the shadows had escaped or was still lurking within the city; all of this was uncertain.

"Old Man Fan, you won’t die from such minor injuries! Stop playing dead and get up!"

The old crone’s biting voice echoed overhead, "This is the consequence of defying me! To see the Fire God’s token is to see the Fire God himself; anyone who dares to oppose me disrespects the Fire God!"

"Old woman, you really think too highly of yourself. This is the Fire God city, not a place for you to run wild!"

Struggling, Old Man Fan clambered up from the ground, his face bruised and swollen, a pitiful sight indeed. However, Old Man Fan was not yielding; he roared angrily, "Wait until the Fire God is unsealed, let’s see how you will explain this to him!"

"The Fire God? Ha ha, ha ha ha!"

The old crone laughed uproariously, as if she had heard the world’s biggest joke, completely disregarding her image. After a while, she looked down at Old Man Fan as if he were a pitiful creature, "Stop fooling yourself. The divination from a thousand years ago already has the answer; the Fire God has long since passed away and is likely nothing more than a corpse now. If it wasn’t for the Fire God’s token not falling into my hands earlier, the Fire God city would have become my private property long ago, not waiting until now!"

"Nonsense!"

Old Man Fan didn’t believe a word the old crone said. How strong was the Fire God, how could he possibly succumb to a mere confinement array? To him, everything the crone said was bewitching nonsense!

"Ha ha, Old Man Fan, without absolute confidence, how would I have reached this stage? From this moment on, I will accept the will of the Fire God and take control of the Fire God city. Anyone who defies me will be executed without mercy!"

The old crone couldn’t be bothered to waste words with Old Man Fan and directly declared her authority. She then fixed her fierce gaze on Old Man Fan and demanded, "Old Man Fan, I ask you one last time, will you submit or not? If you dare to keep resisting, then I will have no choice but to kill you as a warning to others!"

"Kill me, go ahead! If you dare to kill people in the Fire God city, that’s a capital offense! The Fire God won’t let you off!"

Old Man Fan was stubborn to the core, and he wasn’t intimidated by the old crone’s threats at all. Instead, he laughed loudly, straightened his spine, showing a heroic demeanor.

Despite his age, he could still stand firm when it mattered!

The residents were also inspired by Old Man Fan’s words and rushed to his side, their actions clearly stating their stance. This Fire God city was not a lawless land, not anyone who wished to take over could do so!

"Ridiculous! Do you think you can oppose me just because you have the numbers? The rules of Fire God city do exist, but I am above those rules! Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand!"

The old crone’s eyes revealed a murderous intent, and she roared, "You are truly foolish. Resisting to the end will only lead to a dead end; only allegiance to me is the wisest choice!"

"Old woman, you are truly muddled. With the city in peril, you chose not to confront the Shadow Heart Demon but instead set your sights on Fire God City. What are your true intentions? Cough, cough, cough... Such a venomous woman as you will never meet a good end!"

Old Man Fan was coughing nonstop, apoplectic with rage. If he had the power, he would have rushed up and kicked this malicious woman out, with his furious temper!

However, Old Man Fan was also feeling puzzled. Why had the old crone’s temperament changed so drastically after getting control over the Fire God token as if she were a completely different person? He had no time to think more about it, as he had to stay on guard against the Shadow Heart Demon’s stealth attacks while also stalling for time, awaiting the arrival of the Fire God.

With Su Ran as an unexpected ally, Old Man Fan felt as though he saw hope, which was also the source of his determination to hold on.

"Compared to Fire God City, what’s the Shadow Heart Demon, anyway? I’ll ask you one last time, will you surrender? If you choose to resist, then I’ll have no choice but to slaughter you all. Even if the city falls empty, I don’t care, I’ll live freely and at ease!"

The old crone sneered coldly, seemingly indifferent to the value of these lives, having reached the point where she regarded human lives as mere weeds.

Just then, a gust of strong wind attacked from afar, rushing towards the old woman in the air, who, with her current strength, also struggled to maintain her balance and retreated a few steps in embarrassment.

"Who dares to ambush me, come out!"

The old woman scanned the surroundings intently. The sneak attack had caused her to lose face in front of these NPCs, and her freshly established authority was wasted, which infuriated her!

"What audacity! I want to see who dares to contest me for Fire God City!"

A thunderous voice exploded above Fire God City, and the air currents rolled in with an authoritative power that made the old crone sense that something was wrong.

Following that, a figure entirely clad in red appeared within their field of vision—wait, that’s not right, there was someone dangling from below, floating back and forth in the air without struggling at all, resembling a dried-up corpse, quite a grim scene.

"It’s the Fire God, Fire God has come!"

One sharp-eyed resident, upon catching sight of the newcomer’s appearance, suddenly let out a shrill scream, which reminded everyone present and sparked a wave of jubilant cheering, even more lively than the New Year festivities.

"I knew it! People of luck have their own celestial protection. The Fire God couldn’t possibly be in trouble!"

"Now that Fire God has returned, let’s see what that old woman has left to say!"

"And as for the Shadow Heart Demon, that cancer, it must be completely eradicated! With Fire God around, these are all trifles!"

"Hahaha, lucky I didn’t align with the wrong side, almost fell for that old woman’s trap!"

The NPCs were all excitedly chatting nonstop, incredibly agitated, as if they had seen a superstar, and their blood was boiling.

"Damn it, how is he still alive? How is this possible?"

Meanwhile, the old crone was different; her expression was so dark it could drip water, she stared intently in the direction of the Fire God, gritting her teeth, muttering to herself, "That despicable human, I should have never let him go save the Fire God! With this unexpected turn of events, the divination... is doomed to chaos!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
