This is bad. That beast ambushed me at the very last moment. Before losing consciousness, Xiao Yan murmured these last bitter words in his heart.
Silence filled the air. All of Hell Road seemed to freeze at that moment.
Then the enormous dragon wreathed in purplish-brown flames abruptly wheeled around and plunged into the lava lake with a splash.
At that moment, the King of Slaughter had changed. Blood-red light still radiated from his entire body, but his eyes were unusually clear. His deep gaze rested on the searing lava below, a trace of complicated emotion showing in his eyes.
"Who am I? Where is this? What exactly happened just now?" Profound sorrow flashed through the King of Slaughter's eyes. His sleeves had been completely torn apart, exposing his bare arms, which were faintly covered in fine, bloody cuts. His face was pale.
He seemed to have lost his memory because of the Great Explosion.
The mighty aura that the King of Slaughter had initially recovered in an instant had now weakened considerably. Clearly, although he had weathered that earth-shattering collision, the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus had still inflicted some minor injuries on him.
"Who am I? Who exactly am I? Where is this?" Suddenly, the King of Slaughter threw his head back and laughed. His expression was agonized, two trails of bloody tears running from the corners of his eyes. His frenzied energy made everything around him tremble.
"A promise?"
"The sea to the west?"
"Why is my heart guiding me there?"
At that thought, the King of Slaughter abruptly rose into the air. A streak of bloody light spilled from the demonic sword in his hand. With a light swing, he cut an opening above Hell Road, then turned into a blood-red meteor and vanished from Hell Road.
