He knew too well that he couldn't retreat. In the house behind him, Dean's life was counting down, Sam was on the verge of going dark, and Bobby was using his own way Guarding these two guys. In the previous hundred cycles, he had watched Sam completely fall into darkness after the death of Dean. This time, even if he risked his life, he would never take a step back.
"Want to go in? Unless you step over my body!"
Bai Haorui roared, operating "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art" to the extreme. The True Fire around him surged again, forming a huge ten-meter-high purple wall of fire, completely sealing the entire street. Within the fire wall, the temperature was so high that it could melt steel. As soon as the charging demon touched the fire wall, it It was instantly ignited, and he couldn't even scream, and was burned to ashes. He quickly formed a seal with his left hand, and True Fire mimicked again, turning into dozens of purple flame snakes as thick as a bowl, shuttling back and forth in front of the fire wall, intercepting all the demons who wanted to break through the fire wall. Wherever the fire snake passed, the demonic energy was instantly burned out, and the screams of the demons could not be heard.
His breathing began to become heavy, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the hand holding the peach wood sword began to tremble slightly. Seventy percent of the True Fire in his body had been consumed, and there were more than a dozen wounds on his body. The black evil energy tried to invade his meridians again and again, but he used every time. True Fire forced him out again and again. But he still stood firmly in the middle of the street without taking a step back. His Divine Sense was always parted, locking on the movement in the house, sensing the state of Dean's soul, and making sure that the three of them were still safe, so that he could not fall.
In the house, the corridor on the first floor was quiet. Only the soft laughter of the little girl could be heard from the restaurant, and the soft sound of the knife and fork hitting the plate. Dean raised his hand to signal the two to stop, and pulled out the demon dagger from his waist. Sam held up the loaded shotgun, and Bobby held the holy water bomb. The three of them held their breath and moved slowly against the wall towards the living room.
Just after turning the corner of the corridor, two demons in suits suddenly walked out of the side room. Their dark eyes locked on the three of them instantly, and they let out a low roar. Before they could shout, Dean pounced on them like a cheetah, and the dagger accurately pierced the chest of the demon on the left. It let out a short scream and fell to the ground covered in black smoke. Just as the demon on the right was about to raise his hand, Sam's shotgun rang out, and the bullet filled with Holy Oil and salt hit its chest hard, knocking it away and hitting the wall, instantly losing its breath.
"Clean and neat." Bobby praised in a low voice, quickly stepped forward, and sprinkled salt on the corpses of the two demons to prevent their remaining souls from escaping.
Dean did not speak, but frowned. The wall in front of him suddenly shook, revealing countless pairs of demon eyes. He blinked violently, and the illusion dissipated. He clenched the dagger tightly and gestured to the two of them to go upstairs. There was less than ten minutes left before midnight, and they must find Lilith's body as soon as possible.
The three of them tiptoed up to the second floor. The wooden planks of the stairs made a slight squeaking sound, and each sound was like stepping on a taut string. As soon as they reached the stairwell of the second floor, the conversation from the restaurant was clearly heard. The three of them stopped instantly, hiding in the shadow of the stairwell, and looked towards the restaurant.
They happened to see the little girl gently raise her hand, and Pat's neck snapped and she fell heavily to the ground. Mrs. Fremont's suppressed scream, Mr. Fremont's whole body trembling, and the little girl's innocent yet cruel look, all fell into the eyes of the three of them.
Sam's fists were clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white, and his eyes were full of monstrous anger. Dean's face was pale, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. He could clearly see that the little girl's body was surging with thick liquid. The black demonic energy that could not be released was the pressure of the Hell monarch, which made him almost breathless. Bobby raised his hand to hold the shoulders of the two people, shook his head at them, indicating that they should not be impulsive, and then gestured to retreat.
The three of them slowly backed away and tiptoed to the study room at the end of the corridor. Dean gently pushed open the door. The three of them ducked in and closed the door with their backhands. Sam immediately used a heavy solid wood bookcase to block the back of the door.
Only then did the three of them see clearly that there was a person - Ruby - tied to the chair in the study. Her hands and feet were tied to the chair with hemp ropes, and tape was taped on her mouth. When she saw the three people coming in, she immediately struggled excitedly and made a whining sound.
Dean frowned, stepped forward and tore off the tape on her mouth. The dagger in his hand was still pointed at her throat, and his tone was cold. "Why are you here?"
"Lilith." Ruby gasped, with eyes full of panic and urgency, "She sent people to arrest me and is waiting here for you to fall into your trap. Why did you come? There are only three minutes left before midnight!"
"Don't do this." Dean sneered and passed the dagger forward again, "What kind of drama is this between you and her?"
"I'm not acting!" Ruby's voice was high-pitched, and his eyes were full of eagerness, "Dean, listen, Lilith is much stronger than we imagined. Her power is not something we can compete with, unless--"
"Unless what?" Sam took a step forward and asked with a frown.
"Unless you use your power, Sam." Ruby looked at Sam with an extremely determined tone, "The demonic power in your body is the only thing that can hurt her. Give me the dagger and I will help you guide the power. We can kill her now!"
"Shut up." Dean interrupted her sharply, his eyes full of vigilance, "We will never believe your nonsense again."
At this moment, the antique pendulum clock on the wall suddenly made a soft "click" sound, and the pendulum began to swing. There was only the last minute left before midnight.
Dean's body tensed instantly, his face turned as pale as paper, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. The pressure of the expiration of the contract came like a tide, Hell's Yin Qi rushed in crazily along his limbs and bones, and his eyes continued to The picture of Hell flashed across, endless darkness, cold iron chains, and Hellhound's drooling ferocious fangs. He leaned against the wall, holding his hand firmly on his chest, breathing heavily, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his face.
"Dean?" Sam immediately rushed to his side and held his arm, his eyes full of worry and despair, tears welling up in his eyes, "Dean, look at me, it's okay, we will handle it, I won't let anything happen to you."
"I can feel it coming." Dean's voice was shaking, and his eyes were full of extreme fear, "Hellhound... it's right outside the door."
"Give me the dagger, Sam!" Ruby struggled wildly on the chair, his voice full of urgency, "I am the only one who can help you now! It will be too late!"
Bobby was standing guard at the door, the shotgun in his hand facing the door, his finger on the trigger, and his whole body tense. He looked back at Dean, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said to Sam, "Boy, no matter what you want to do, hurry up! We have no time!"
Boom--
The pendulum clock on the wall rang the first bell at midnight.
Every sound of the bell is like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard. The ticking of the pendulum, the increasingly clear sound of claws scratching the floor from outside the door, and the low and threatening roar of Hellhound, are intertwined to form a suffocating countdown to death.
Dean was leaning against the wall, his body shaking violently. He could clearly feel that his soul was being pulled by an invisible force, trying to pull him out of his body and into the endless darkness. He raised his hand and patted Sam's shoulder gently, his eyes gentle and sad, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had finally let go of all the burdens.
"Sammy, listen." His voice was very soft but extremely clear, "Keep fighting. Take good care of my car. Remember what dad taught you, and remember what I taught you."
"No, Dean, don't say that." Sam's tears finally fell and he held his hand tightly, "We will get it done, we will definitely get it done."
Boom--Boom--Boom--
The bells fell one after another. When Bai Haorui in the middle of the street heard the bells, his heart suddenly shrank. He could clearly feel that Dean's soul was being destroyed by Hell's. The power pulled wildly, and the breath in True Fire Barrier became weaker and weaker. His eyes instantly turned red, and he swung the mahogany sword in his hand faster. Each sword carried a desperate determination to advance without retreating, and forced back another wave of oncoming demons.
"Hurry...Dean, Sam, hurry up..."
He gritted his teeth, and the taste of blood was in his mouth. Eighty percent of the True Fire in his body had been consumed, and his meridians had begun to feel tearing pain. But he did not dare to stop. Once he stopped, these demons would rush into the house like a tide, and those three people would not even have a chance to survive.
He raised his left hand, and Five Emperor Coins flew out in response, bringing the last True Fire to death, killing the two demons who wanted to break through the wall of fire. But at this moment, three high-level demons pounced on him at the same time, with three sharp claws grabbing at his chest, shoulders and thighs at the same time. The bone-deep wounds instantly opened, and black demonic energy poured into his body crazily.
Bai Haorui let out a suppressed roar of pain, held the sword in both hands, and spun on the spot. With the violent True Fire, the peach wood sword forcibly cut off the heads of three demons. He staggered back two steps and leaned on the lamppost behind him. A mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the ground in front of him red.
His vision began to blur, the meridians in his body were torn in many places, and the Gang Condensation Pill in his Dantian became dim, and he had to use all his strength to even stand. But his Divine Sense was still locked on the movement in the house. He could hear the breathing of Dean getting weaker and weaker, and the roar of Hellhound getting closer and closer.
The moment the twelfth bell rings, midnight officially arrives.
Dean's face instantly turned pale to the extreme, his whole body twitched violently, and a mouthful of blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. Outside the door, Hellhound's roar instantly became extremely clear, as if it was right next to his ears. His sharp claws scratched the door panel frantically, making a harsh squeaking sound. The heavy solid wood door was constantly shaking as if it would be smashed into pieces in the next second.
"It's coming." Dean's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of extreme fear, like a drowning person unable to grasp any life-saving straw, "Hellhound is coming."
The three of them immediately retreated to the corner of the room, back to back, forming a defensive formation. Dean held the devil's dagger, Sam held the shotgun, and Bobby held the holy water bullet in his hand. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final battle.
The shaking of the door panel became more and more violent, sawdust kept falling, and Hellhound's roar made the windows buzz. At this moment, Ruby, who had been ignored by them, suddenly spoke.
Her voice was very soft, but like a key, it opened the door of Hell, with a strange calmness. "Give me the dagger, Sam."
Dean looked at her suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the hairs all over his body stood up instantly. In his eyes that could penetrate the curtain of life and death, Ruby's human skin instantly became transparent, and what surged underneath was the familiar black demonic aura with the pressure of the Hell monarch, which was exactly the same as the aura of the little girl in the restaurant.
He reacted instantly and shouted loudly, his voice full of disbelief and horror. "No. You are not Ruby."
"Ruby", who was tied to the chair, slowly raised her head. Her eyes instantly turned completely white without any pupils, and a strange and cruel smile appeared on her face, which was very much like the innocent and vicious little girl in the restaurant. The pressure of the monarch Hell instantly burst out from her body, and the temperature in the entire study instantly dropped to freezing point. The pendulum clock on the wall stopped instantly, and even the air seemed to be frozen.
She raised her hand slightly, and an invisible and irresistible force exploded instantly. Sam was pinned to the wall, unable to move his limbs, and the shotgun in his hand fell to the ground with a clang; Dean was pinned to the table. His limbs were locked tightly, and the demon dagger in his hand fell to the ground, unable to struggle at all. Bobby, who was guarding the door, was also hit hard against the wall by this force, a mouthful of blood spurted out, two ribs were instantly broken, and the shotgun in his hand flew out.
"If you guess it right, there will be a reward." Lilith's voice came from Ruby's mouth, with the innocence and softness of a child, but full of the cruelty and coldness of the Hell monarch.
"What are you going to do?" Sam was pressed against the wall and struggled wildly. The veins on his forehead popped out and his eyes were red as if they were bleeding. He roared angrily at Lilith.
"I sent Ruby to a far away place." Lilith smiled and did not answer Sam, speaking in an understatement, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, "Ruby is too much of a hindrance. He always wants to teach you how to use power, but he has never taught you what awe is."
She slowly walked up to Sam, reached out and touched his face gently. Her movements were as gentle as a lover's, but her eyes were full of cold curiosity and fear. She leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips, as if she was looking at a perfect work of art, with a hint of obsession in her tone. "You know what? I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I'm really curious about how much surprise Yellow-Eyed Demon has hidden in you."
"Let him go!" Dean was pressed on the table, struggling wildly, roaring like a beast in his throat, and the veins on his forehead popped out, "Come at me if you have anything! The contract is mine! My life is also mine!"
Lilith looked back at him, the gentleness on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by unabashed disgust and coldness. She snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain, as if she was looking at a dirty insect. "I will not respond to the call of a dog food."
She raised her hand, dazzling white energy appeared on her fingertips, and she was about to smash it towards Dean's chest, completely crushing his soul so that he would not even have a chance to be reincarnated.
On the street, Bai Haorui heard Dean's heart-rending roar, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes were about to burst.
Something happened!
He no longer had any reservations, and bet all his Daoist heart, soul, and even the origin of his life on this blow. He let out a low roar, and the Nezha golden light between his eyebrows suddenly lit up, and the final golden Pure Yang True Fire ignited all over his body., that is the ultimate explosion in the Muscle and Bone Forging Realm world of "Three Altars Body-Refining True Fire Art". It was his overdraft of life and the power that was enough to hurt the Hell monarch.
He condensed all the True Fire into a three-meter-long purple flame giant blade, simulating a trace of the charm of Nezha Fire-Tipped Spear. The tip of the spear was sharp, with the power of burning the world and destroying the earth, and with all the obsession and protective heart he had accumulated in hundreds of cycles, he slashed hard at the remaining demon group.
After a deafening loud noise, the entire street was razed to the ground by True Fire, and the road surface was burned black and cracked. The remaining dozens of demons were all burned to fly ash, with not even a trace of magic energy left. Five Elements Demon-Locking Formation instantly collapsed, and the five Five Emperor Coins lost their True Fire support and fell on the charred ground, becoming dim.
Bai Haorui staggered, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing the ground in front of him red. All the meridians in his body had been torn, Gang Condensation Pill in his Dantian were full of cracks, the wounds all over his body were bleeding crazily, and his vision had begun to turn black. But he did not stop at all, holding his bleeding chest, holding the mahogany sword, and rushed into the house.
Just when Lilith's energy was about to hit Dean, the study door was kicked open.
Bai Haorui, covered in blood, rushed in. There was a bone-deep wound on his back, and the clothes on his chest were stained red with blood. His face was as pale as paper, and he could hardly stand still. But when he saw Dean being pressed on the table, and seeing the deadly energy on Lilith's fingertips, he was filled with fear. Even though the True Fire in his body was almost exhausted, he still forcibly condensed a purple flame shield and slammed it at Hellhound who rushed in from the door. The beast that was about to pounce on Dean staggered, giving Dean some breathing time.
"Lilith! Your opponent is me!"
Bai Haorui roared, throwing out the five remaining magic locking talismans with his backhand, and with the last trace of Pure Yang True Fire in his body, he pressed hard against Lilith.
Lilith didn't expect that hundreds of demons outside were actually solved by him alone. A flash of shock flashed in his eyes, and then he snorted coldly, and an invisible force exploded, shattering the five magic locking talismans. At the same time, she used part of her power and slammed into Bai Haorui.
Bai Haorui was already exhausted, and was hit hard against the wall by this force. Another mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the clothes on his chest red. The mahogany sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and Bones all over his body hurt as if it was broken.
But he still didn't fall.
He supported the wall and stood up slowly. The Nezha golden light between his eyebrows suddenly lit up again. He poured all his last soul power into the remaining True Fire, and his whole body burned. He fired up the last golden flame. He wanted to use his last strength to interrupt Lilith's power and give Dean and Sam a chance to break free.
"Dean! Sam! Break free!"
Bai Haorui roared, condensing the last True Fire into a spear shape, and stabbing Lilith's chest with indomitable determination.
Lilith's expression finally changed. She could feel that the pure Yang power contained in this gun was the natural nemesis of evil things like her, enough to hurt her soul. She had no time to fully defend herself, so she could only hastily erect a thick Hell demonic energy barrier.
"Pfft" sound.
The True Fire spear instantly pierced the barrier and plunged into Lilith's chest. The violent Pure Yang True Fire instantly poured into her body, burning her body and soul along her meridians. Even if she was the Hell monarch, she could not withstand this Pure Yang True Fire, who was born for evil.
Lilith let out an extremely shrill scream, and her face instantly turned pale. The possessed Ruby's body began to suffer extensive burns. Her power instantly began to become disordered, and the invisible power that locked Dean, Sam, and Bobby also dissipated instantly.
But Bai Haorui also completely exhausted all his strength. The moment the True Fire spear dissipated, his vision went dark, and he could no longer hold on. His body fell softly to the ground, completely losing his fighting power. He could only watch everything in front of him, his fingertips trembling slightly, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
The moment the power dissipated, Hellhound let out a crazy roar again and rushed forward. The sharp fangs bit Dean's legs and dragged him off the table. The sharp teeth pierced Dean's flesh was bitten to pieces by his Bones, and blood spurted out instantly, splattering all over the cold floor, dyeing Dean's coat and Sam's sight red.
"Ah--!"
Dean looked at Hellhound jumping on him and screamed, his voice full of pain.
"No! Dean! Stop! Stop it! Damn it!"
Sam broke free from the restraints, looked at the scene in front of him, and let out a desperate roar, his voice broke, and tears fell crazily. He rushed over like crazy, trying to pull Hellhound away, but it was too late.
Bobby struggled to get up, held up the shotgun, and shot wildly at Hellhound, but the bullets could not hurt the ferocious beast from Hell. He could only watch it dragging Dean's broken body, turned and rushed out of the study, and disappeared into the darkness outside the door.
On the floor, there was only a large dazzling blood stain and Dean torn pieces of clothing.
Lilith was severely injured by Bai Haorui, her breath was disordered, but she still did not forget her ultimate goal. She turned around and looked at Sam, who was paralyzed on the ground and exuding overwhelming hatred, with a malicious smile on her face. She raised her hand and released a dazzling white energy, with a devastating pressure, and blasted towards Sam.
The entire study was completely enveloped in white light, and everyone was forced to close their eyes by this force.
But when the dazzling white light dissipated, the whole study was in a mess, the furniture was shattered to pieces, and the walls were covered with cracks, but Sam stood unscathed.
He slowly put down his hands, his eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of black ice. There was no warmth in them, only overwhelming murderous intent. His eyes were filled with dark demonic power, and his whole aura had changed. It was a suffocating sense of oppression, and even Hell Lord Lilith felt fear.
Lilith stood opposite, the smug smile on his face completely disappeared, replaced by unbelievable horror. She looked at Sam, who was unharmed, as if she had seen something incredible, and stepped back again and again, her voice trembling. "Impossible... This is impossible... How can you have such power?"
Sam slowly bent down and picked up the demon dagger that fell on the ground. He walked towards Lilith step by step, his steps were steady, each step seemed to step on Lilith's heart, and the killing intent in his eyes almost solidified.
"No... impossible..." Lilith looked at Sam who was getting closer and closer. He no longer had the calmness of the Hell monarch. He let out a terrified scream, turned into a black smoke, and instantly escaped from Ruby's body, disappeared into the room, and never dared to show his face again.
Ruby's body fell softly to the ground, making no sound.
Sam rushed to the door, looked at the empty corridor, looked at the bloodstains left by Dean on the floor, and stretched all the way into the darkness. The dagger in his hand clenched loudly, and his knuckles turned white. He finally stopped, turned around, knelt on the ground, looked at the large glaring bloodstains on the floor, and finally collapsed completely.
He buried his face in his hands and let out a cry that was so suppressed that he couldn't hear it. His shoulders shook violently and his whole body curled up together. His world completely collapsed the moment Dean was dragged into darkness. Only overwhelming hatred and extreme hatred for his own incompetence remained.
Bobby limped over and looked at Sam who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. This old hunter who had been hard Bones all his life had red eyes and wiped his face fiercely. He squatted down, stretched out his hand, and hugged Sam tightly, as if he was hugging his last relative.
Bai Haorui collapsed on the ground, forcing himself to hold on to a trace of consciousness. He looked at Sam who collapsed and cried bitterly. He looked at the blood on the ground, and his eyes were filled with self-blame and helplessness. He still failed. He tried everything, but only severely injured Lilith and stopped hundreds of demons. But in the end, he still failed to protect Dean, and still could not change this damn fate.
His Daoist heart was shaken violently for the first time. It was still too weak. It would be great if he could be stronger, if he could break through to a higher realm, if he could kill Lilith.
He circulated the only weak True Fire left in his body, slowly flowing into Sam's body, soothing the restless demonic power in his body that was about to explode completely. In his heart, he made a vow word by word: Sam, don't be afraid. Dean, wait for me. I will definitely break through to a higher realm, I will definitely break into Hell, and I will definitely save Dean. This time, I will never break my promise again.
Endless darkness.
There is no sky, no earth, no light, and no sound. There are only cold iron chains, sharp spikes, and the whispers of demons everywhere, as well as the never-ending screams coming from all directions.
Dean was chained to a wall full of spikes. The spikes dug deeply into his body, and blood flowed down the spikes, but would never solidify. His body was torn apart, covered in blood, and black demonic energy kept pouring into the wound, madly torturing his soul and bringing never-ending pain.
Surrounded by Hell's never-ending torture and wailing, coldness, despair, and darkness, like a tide, surrounded him from all directions, trying to swallow him completely.
He raised his head, moved his chapped lips, exhausted all his strength, and shouted out the name engraved in his soul heartbreakingly. The voice penetrated the endless darkness, carrying the ultimate pain, despair and longing, echoing in every corner of Hell.
"Sam!!!"
