Chapter 251: Close Suppression! “Venerable Lord, isn’t this considered taking advantage of a crisis?”

"Splash!"

Ye Hongzhuang's fair and slender legs stepped into the churning black Demon Essence Pool without a moment's hesitation.

The mercury-like, viscous demonic liquid instantly swallowed her knees and thighs, rising all the way to her waist.

The Extreme Yin Demonic Fiend, which was potent enough to instantly corrode an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator into a puddle of blood, parted obediently to the sides the instant it touched her skin, like a docile sheep. It failed to corrode even a fraction of the thin black gauze dress on her body.

This was the absolute suppression power of a Soul Transformation Stage Female Demon Lord!

But Gu Lan had completely lost his sanity by this moment.

The massive resentment left behind by past demon gods and predecessors within the Demon Essence Pool surged into his Sea of Consciousness all at once, accompanied by a massive amount of Devilish Qi.

His mind now held only the primal instinct of slaughter, destruction, and tearing apart every living thing before him.

"Roar—!!"

Seeing someone enter the water, Gu Lan's eyes turned crimson, and a beastly roar unlike that of a human issued from his throat.

He abruptly stood up from the bottom of the pool, kicking up a massive spray of black water.

At this moment, the skin all over Gu Lan's body displayed a terrifying purplish-red color, and his veins bulged like twisted earthworms.

Two strange flames—one cyan and one red—lost control, shooting directly out from his pores and burning wildly within the black demonic liquid, emitting a harsh "sizzling" sound.

"Kill!"

Completely disregarding who had entered, Gu Lan violently kicked off the bottom of the pool with both legs, his entire body shooting forward like a cannonball fired from a chamber, enveloping violent strange flames and Devilish Qi as he lunged straight toward Ye Hongzhuang!

There were no Moves, no sword techniques.

It was simply the most barbarous, most violent physical tackle!

He spread his hands, his ten fingers curling into claws, and even opened his mouth to reveal teeth reddened by congestion, looking like a genuine vicious wolf about to tear Ye Hongzhuang to pieces.

"Like a mad dog."

Standing in waist-deep pool water, Ye Hongzhuang watched Gu Lan lunge toward her without even frowning.

She neither dodged nor summoned any Magic Treasure.

"Bang!"

Gu Lan slammed heavily against Ye Hongzhuang's body.

The enormous impact whipped up a towering black wave several zhang high on the water's surface.

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, this collision would surely have shattered their sternum.

But Ye Hongzhuang's body was like rooted ten-thousand-year black iron; not only did she not budge an inch, but the moment Gu Lan crashed into her, she proactively reached out with both hands, left and right, grasping Gu Lan's shoulders with extreme precision and immense hardness!

"Quiet down for this lord!"

Ye Hongzhuang shouted coldly, her hands suddenly exerting force.

The terrifying power of the Soul Transformation Stage instantly erupted, and she forcefully pinned the berserk Gu Lan in place.

But Gu Lan's strength was shockingly immense. Coupled with the blessings of his Pure Yang Body and the strange flames, he began to struggle frantically.

"Roar!"

Gu Lan's hands tightly gripped Ye Hongzhuang's arms, the scorching high temperature attempting to burn through her protective Devilish Qi.

At the same time, his head lunged fiercely forward, biting viciously toward Ye Hongzhuang's fair neck!

His mind was now entirely filled with devouring; that instinct derived from the demon god's resentment made him extremely eager to bite and tear at this woman before him who radiated massive energy.

"Insolent!"

A cold glint flashed through the depths of Ye Hongzhuang's eyes.

Reacting extremely quickly, she jerked her head to the side, dodging this fatal bite.

Even so, Gu Lan's teeth grazed past her collarbone, leaving a clear bloody scratch on her flawless skin.

A sharp pain washed over her, but instead of retreating, Ye Hongzhuang felt a sliver of innate ferocity stirred within her bones.

"Since you don't even know pain, this lord will use the most direct method to wake you up!"

Ye Hongzhuang suddenly released her grip on Gu Lan's shoulders, leaned her upper body forward, and crashed directly into Gu Lan's embrace.

Their bodies pressed together seamlessly within the black demonic liquid!

Gu Lan's whole body was scalding hot, like a piece of red-hot charcoal; whereas Ye Hongzhuang's body was bone-chillingly cold, radiating the Extreme Yin Devilish Qi of the Soul Transformation Stage.

The ultimate high temperature and the ultimate bitter cold violently collided underwater!

"Hiss—!"

The strange flames on the surface of Gu Lan's body frictioned violently with Ye Hongzhuang's Devilish Qi, generating massive clouds of white steam that completely enveloped the two of them.

Ye Hongzhuang's arms tightly wrapped around Gu Lan's back, locking his entire body within her embrace so he had no space to break free.

At the same time, she lifted one slender thigh, propped it directly against the back of Gu Lan's knee bend, and pressed down forcefully.

"Kneel for this lord!"

Before the absolute power of the Soul Transformation Stage, Gu Lan's meager berserk strength fell far short.

With a "thud,"

Gu Lan was forcibly pressed down until both knees hit the bottom of the pool. The pool water instantly swallowed his chin, leaving only his mouth and nose above the water surface to pant heavily.

Ye Hongzhuang also squatted down halfway, still holding him tightly.

"Roar! Kill! Kill!"

Gu Lan's hands hammered frantically against Ye Hongzhuang's back underwater. The strange flames scorched her black gauze dress, leaving several red burn marks even on her back.

But the more he struggled, the tighter Ye Hongzhuang held him.

"If I cannot suppress your Heart Demon, this lord shall personally act as your filter!"

Ye Hongzhuang's gaze turned fierce.

She knew that Gu Lan's consciousness was currently being blown apart by the resentment within the Demon Essence Pool.

If these redundant resentments could not be extracted, his Purple Extreme Golden Core would become a ruined core, and his entire person would be completely crippled.

Without any hesitation,

Ye Hongzhuang suddenly lowered her head, her peerlessly cold and gorgeous face moving directly close to Gu Lan's twisted and frenzied visage.

She slightly parted her red lips and bit down on Gu Lan's lips!

"Mmm—!"

Gu Lan let out a muffled grunt, his eyes wide open.

This was by no means any gentle kiss!

Ye Hongzhuang's actions were extremely crude, even carrying a sense of ruthless plunder.

Her teeth directly broke the skin of Gu Lan's lips, and a strong, bloody taste instantly permeated between their intertwined lips and teeth.

Immediately following this, a terrifying suction force erupted from Ye Hongzhuang's mouth!

She actually forcibly extracted the rampaging demon god resentments within Gu Lan's body through this most direct, most primitive method of skin-to-skin contact!

"Rumble—!"

Gu Lan felt as though a massive hole had been poked through his body.

Those black resentments that were running wild and causing him agonizing pain within his Meridians and Sea of Consciousness seemed to have found an outlet, turning into streams of black Qi that surged madly down his throat and into Ye Hongzhuang's mouth!

Ye Hongzhuang's brows furrowed tightly, and her complexion instantly turned somewhat pale.

Forcibly devouring such ancient demon god resentment was an extremely dangerous act, even for a Soul Transformation Stage mighty figure.

If she were slightly careless, these resentments would backlash against her consciousness.

But she did not let go.

Not only was she sucking, but she was also feeding back the purest Origin Devilish Qi refined through the Soul Transformation Stage within her own body to Gu Lan through their lips and teeth.

One extraction, one delivery.

This energy exchange, bordering on Dual Cultivation, was taking place at the bottom of the Demon Essence Pool in an extremely barbarous manner.

The situation inside Gu Lan's body was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

As those chaotic resentments were forcibly drawn away by Ye Hongzhuang, his Sea of Consciousness, which had been on the verge of exploding, finally gained a sliver of breathing room.

Meanwhile, the pristine Devilish Qi fed back by Ye Hongzhuang was like timely rain, instantly extinguishing the evil fires rampaging through his Meridians.

Within his Dantian,

that Purple Extreme Golden Core, which had been covered in cracks and could collapse at any moment, finally stopped trembling after receiving the nourishment of this pristine Devilish Qi.

It began to rotate once more at an extremely stable and deep frequency.

With every single rotation, a fraction of the Impurities on the surface of the Golden Core was peeled away.

One.

Two.

Three…

Dark purple demonic patterns began to clearly emerge and solidify on the surface of the Golden Core.

The external demonic liquid no longer surged passively and wildly into his body; instead, following Gu Lan's breathing, it was methodically inhaled, refined, and transformed into the purest power.

Time trickled away bit by bit.

In this silent underground space, only the sound of water and the heavy breathing of the two intertwined.

Not knowing how much time had passed,

the turbid, frenzied blood-red in the depths of Gu Lan's eyes finally retreated slowly like a tide.

His vision gradually regained focus.

The instant his consciousness returned, the first things Gu Lan felt were bursts of sharp pain coming from his lips, along with a strong, bloody taste.

Then, he felt that his hands were tightly gripping someone's waist.

It was very slender, very soft, yet bone-chillingly cold.

Moreover, this person's face was pressed right against his, and their lips were tightly glued together.

Gu Lan's brain gave a "buzz," crashing on the spot.

Holy crap!

What is going on?!

He widened his eyes abruptly, his vision finally focusing clearly on that face close at hand.

Cold and gorgeous, peerlessly beautiful; her slender phoenix eyes were tightly closed, her brows slightly furrowed, and black water droplets still hung on her long eyelashes.

Ye Hongzhuang!!!

Gu Lan was so scared that his heart almost leaped out of his throat.

Only then did he realize that he was currently kneeling completely naked in the Demon Essence Pool, while the high-and-mighty Female Demon Lord was hanging on his body with her clothes half-stripped, forcibly kissing him in an extremely uninhibited posture!

What was even more fatal was that, because of his frenzied struggle when he lost his sanity earlier, his hands were currently locked tightly around Ye Hongzhuang's lower back, and one hand had even slipped to a place it shouldn't have, tightly grasping a startlingly full mass.

"I… what the f—…"

Gu Lan's scalp went numb, and every hair on his body stood on end.

Subconsciously, he wanted to let go of his hands and push her away.

But the moment he was about to Move,

Ye Hongzhuang suddenly opened her eyes.

Those phoenix eyes, deep as a cold pool, locked directly onto Gu Lan's terrified eyes from a distance of less than half an inch.

The air completely froze at this moment.

The two of them maintained this extremely ambiguous, extremely fatal negative-distance posture, staring at each other with wide eyes in the black pool water.

Ye Hongzhuang stopped the action of extracting Devilish Qi, slowly loosening her teeth that were biting Gu Lan's lips, and pulled back slightly by half an inch.

Ye Hongzhuang did not speak.

Her gaze slowly shifted downward, landing on Gu Lan's left hand, which was still tightly pinching her buttocks.

"Awake?"

Ye Hongzhuang's voice was frighteningly hoarse, exuding a dangerous aura that chilled one to the bone.

Gu Lan shuddered all over, hurriedly withdrawing that courting-death hand as if receiving an electric shock.

"Ven… Venerable Lord…"

Gu Lan stammered, even his voice trembling, while his brain raced frantically to come up with various excuses.

"Your subordinate just now… suffered Qi Deviation! Yes! Completely without consciousness!"

"Your subordinate knows nothing! Really!"

"Nothing?"

Ye Hongzhuang sneered, extending the hand that had been cradling the back of Gu Lan's head all this time and grabbing him firmly by the chin.

On her slender fingers, there were still a few remaining red burn marks left by the strange flames.

"When you were running around biting people like a mad dog just now, weren't you quite spirited?"

"When touching this lord, wasn't your strength quite large?"

Ye Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes, pressing in dangerously.

"What? Now that you're sober, you want to pull up your pants and refuse to acknowledge the debt?"
