Mortal Mirror

Seeing this, Li Ergou immediately said happily, "There seems to be something else going on down here."

As he spoke, he directly stomped down with one foot. Under the immense force, a large pit was immediately created in the dried-up pool bottom. Beneath the pit, it was actually empty.

Standing here, he could actually see the outside world.

The rabbit was the first to jump out, and immediately its happy voice was heard, "I'm out, I'm out! So this is what's outside the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Li Ergou and the big red bird hurriedly crawled out of the pit one after another. He saw the blue sky and white clouds, but all he could see ahead were mountains and rivers. He didn't know where this was.

Without thinking much, he turned around and filled the pit. At that moment, the golden snake also crashed the entire cave, causing it to collapse. After a cloud of dust, the golden snake looked into the cave, but it didn't see Li Ergou and the others.

A hint of doubt flashed in its eyes, and then it roared and swam back. Li Ergou seemed to hear the golden snake say, "Countless years, has everything failed? No, I, the golden snake, never fail. Wait, you old undying things, I, the golden snake, am back. The demon race has always had a place for me."

As soon as its voice fell, it suddenly flicked its tail, and a golden beam of light shot into the sky from its mouth. A mountain of unknown thickness was directly pierced through by this strike. Immediately, a golden figure soared into the sky and flew away.

Li Ergou only felt the mountain shake for a while, and then saw a golden figure flying away. He felt terrified in his heart. If the golden snake had attacked him just now, wouldn't he have been dead?

Looking ahead, there were countless mountains and rivers. He didn't know where he had come. He asked the rabbit and the big red bird, but these two guys also looked confused. They really didn't know where this was.

Just as he was wondering, he heard a loud noise from afar. He looked up and saw a giant monster chasing a person on another mountain. With a thought, he looked over and was surprised to see that this person was actually Zhu Zhu.

And that monster was actually a black pig king in the demon king realm.

Although he didn't know why Zhu Zhu was being chased, he didn't hesitate and flew over on his sword. The big red bird immediately spread its wings, grabbed the rabbit, and followed closely behind Li Ergou.

It also shouted, "Boss, wait for me!"

The wild boar king quickly approached Zhu Zhu, constantly roaring. Zhu Zhu, however, was not flustered, and said, "This stinky pig is so fierce. I'll exhaust you to death and then take your demon core."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a red flying sword descending from the sky, instantly smashing into the wild boar. The flying sword was like a hot knife cutting butter. The indestructible wild boar's head was easily pierced.

The flying sword then circled around the giant pig's neck, and the huge pig's head fell off. A generation of pig kings was killed so easily. If others saw this, they would definitely be shocked.

This was the power of Li Ergou's natal flying sword. You must know that he was able to kill the masked man of the Bai family, a Nascent Soul expert, when he was in the early stage of the Golden Core.

Now that he had swallowed Yu Tongtian's elixir and his cultivation had broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core, and he had eaten so many flower demons in the snake cave, his spiritual consciousness had soared.

At this moment, not to mention this first-level demon king, even a second-level demon king would definitely die here at Li Ergou's hands.

Zhu Zhu looked at the red flying sword, her mouth wide open in shock and confusion.

Then, she saw Li Ergou coming on his sword. He looked angry and shouted, "How dare you chase my Zhu Zhu! You deserve to die!"

When Zhu Zhu saw how fierce Li Ergou was, joy appeared in her eyes. "Ergou, why is it you? By the way, this flying sword is so strange. The power it carries doesn't seem to be comparable to a magic weapon flying sword."

Li Ergou chuckled and said, "Of course. This is my natal flying sword, Hearth Fire."

"Natal flying sword? Why have you never told me about it?"

Li Ergou chuckled and said, "This is my secret. How can I tell others casually?"

Zhu Zhu snorted and said, "You stinky guy, I don't know how many secrets you're still hiding from me. Can't even I know your secrets? I'm ignoring you."

"How could that be? Didn't you see that when you were in danger, I even used my housekeeping skills?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Hearth Fire flew back, hovering in front of him.

Zhu Zhu snorted and said, "Forget it. This time, I'll forgive you for your sincerity. Let me see this Hearth Fire. It's a very nice name. So this is a natal flying sword.

Does its name have any meaning?"

"This sword is a fire spirit sword, and it also incorporates the White Lotus Karmic Fire. Thus, with heaven and earth as the furnace and yin and yang as the charcoal, it is like the raging fire in a furnace, refining all things in the world.

Therefore, I named it Hearth Fire, meaning that when this sword is drawn, heaven and earth will be burned."

Zhu Zhu exclaimed, "Ergou, I really can't believe that you would become so powerful one day. I really don't know why Uncle Qian said that about you back then.

If he hadn't come this time, he would have had to see how powerful you are today. Not to mention your ranking on the Void Sky Tablet, this Hearth Fire alone would be enough to shock him."

Li Ergou smiled and said, "Actually, there are some things you don't know. My spiritual root was indeed very broken back then. No one was optimistic about me. Maybe I was lucky enough, and my luck was quite heaven-defying, so I have achieved what I have today."

Zhu Zhu looked at Li Ergou for a long time before saying, "I know. Actually, it's still because you worked hard enough. Back then, you didn't hesitate to use the method of being beaten to achieve cultivation. Do you know how shocked I was when I heard that?

You worked so hard. From the bottom of my heart, I believed that you would one day get your wish and become successful. It's just that Uncle Qian said that your roots were too rotten, and even if you worked hard, you would eventually fail.

Sometimes, I don't know what your future will be like, but I hope that you get better and better.

Do you know that I once fantasized that one day, you would ride on auspicious clouds to marry me? I would be so happy just thinking about that scene.

It's just a pity, it's a pity that I can't help myself. Alas, this is probably the sorrow of us children from big families."

When Li Ergou saw Zhu Zhu suddenly become sad, he also felt uncomfortable. It was the first time he had this feeling for a girl.

He immediately comforted her, "Old Man Man said, 'Don't despise a young man for being poor.' Zhu Zhu, wait for me, believe me, one day I will gain everyone's approval and become a big figure like your father. I will marry you openly and honestly."

A smile appeared on Zhu Zhu's face, and she nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you. You are the unique Ergou. You will definitely succeed one day."

Li Ergou still wanted to say something, but suddenly, a blue beam of light shot into the sky from a distant mountain, and then, Li Ergou felt the ground beneath his feet shaking.

The two looked into the distance, with surprise in their eyes.
