Chapter 263: Chapter 262: Heaven and Earth, No One Can Save You? (First Update, Please Subscribe)
In the valley, there was a woman, her figure graceful, like ice and snow.
Her seemingly cold body emanated a hint of warmth, as if flames were burning, with a graceful figure, gentle eyebrows, a tall stature, and a faint tenderness on her face.
Taking out a mirror, gazing at herself within it, Bai Ling’Er admired herself.
"Is this the woman that little brother holds dear in his heart?"
"In terms of appearance, she is just average, not stunningly beautiful, much less than myself, or even slightly less than Sword Monarch Xi Yue... yet why does she linger in little brother’s thoughts?"
Bai Ling’Er pondered, a little confused.
The Fox Demons, who specialized in charm, naturally relied not just on looks, but on insight into the human heart.
The human heart is unpredictable and changeable; often, humans do not even understand their own hearts, yet Fox Demons can see into the hearts of cultivators.
By now, she had five tails and five major talents: [Charm], [Instant Teleportation], [Death Replacement], [Clone], [Disguise]. However, the true talent of a Fox Demon is only one: [Spirit Insight], which allows them to see into the human heart. Precisely because they can see into hearts, Fox Demons are adept at playing with human emotions.
Many Fox Demons are not happy.
The woman in the mirror could be considered beautiful, but she was merely that.
If one were to grade her on a scale of a hundred, the woman in the mirror would only score eighty-five; Sword Monarch Xi Yue would score ninety; yet Bai Ling’Er herself would score ninety-five.
"This woman’s appearance is not the most beautiful, yet why does she stay in little brother’s mind..."
Bai Ling’Er wondered aloud.
Her form flickered and vanished.
She had two plans: if little brother couldn’t hold out, she would save him.
In terms of combat power, within the Purple Mansion of the Demon Race, she could only rank in the top fifty, not the highest, but when it came to survival skills and escape abilities, she ranked in the top five.
Even if a Golden Core Cultivator made a move, they couldn’t take her life.
...
Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by violent sounds, Lu Xuanji once again killed a Purple Mansion Demon Beast.
He waved and collected the corpse.
Breathing slightly, by now, he had killed thirty-five Purple Mansion Demon Beasts.
Yet the surrounding aura surged as some Purple Mansion Demon Beasts, lacking honor, directly surrounded and attacked. Lu Xuanji directly activated [Vertical Earth Golden Light], instantly transforming into a streak of golden light, already ten miles away.
After a few more flickers, he evaded the encirclement of the Purple Mansion Demon Beasts, then counterattacked, specifically targeting lone demons to kill.
"The Golden Crow Demon Emperor is hunting me, offering a Creation Pill, a Golden Core Pill, and an Infinite Pill... It’s as if I want to sell myself!"
Checking the message on the token, a glimmer of excitement flashed in Lu Xuanji’s eyes.
Touching his brow, there was a sword-shaped mark.
This mark was known as the Life-Blood Seal.
Having this mark meant receiving the protection of Sword Monarch Xi Yue. Those Nascent Soul Demon Emperors would abide by rules and not directly target him, at most sending Purple Mansion Demon Beasts to encircle him.
Or perhaps he was just a minor character, not worth those Nascent Soul Demon Emperors breaking the rules.
Boom boom boom!
And so, Lu Xuanji activated [Vertical Earth Golden Light], constantly moving around, constantly sniping at the Demon Race’s Purple Mansion, never staying in one place, never falling into enemy encirclements.
If he could fight, he would; if he couldn’t, he’d run, never getting caught in the Demon Race’s siege.
A pandemonium, leaving a mess everywhere.
...
After three days and nights of fierce fighting, Lu Xuanji’s form flickered as he headed towards Purple Sun Mountain.
After fighting for so long, his body was somewhat fatigued, and it was time to rest.
The injuries from the battle could be healed with elixirs and Heaven Mending Qi; the depleted True Essence could be replenished with Spiritual Liquid and the like.
However, the continuous battle had taken a toll on his mental will, leaving it somewhat strained.
Swish swish!
When he arrived near Purple Sun Mountain, about a hundred miles away, a towering figure blocked his path, and demonic energy surged to the sky.
This Great Demon, with eyes flickering with excitement, said with a hint of heat: "I, Mu Yehuang, am invincible; kneel, become my human slave, and hand over your treasures, and I may spare your life. In that case, you will have a chance, otherwise, neither heaven nor earth can save you."
"Hahaha! I’ve finally trapped you!"
At this moment, another arrogant voice echoed: "Kneel, human slave! I’ve heard about your deeds, mere opportunism. Your skills are only for posturing among the Human Race. My Demon Race is full of geniuses; I am a strong one from the Cyan Dragon Race, named Ao Guang!"
"Kneel, becoming my slave is your best path. I have seen many human geniuses like you. I advise you to be more low-key, kneel down, and admit your mistakes. Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death!"
A cultivator spoke, wearing black battle armor, a Half-Step Golden Core, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit perfect, clearly a small giant of the Demon Race.
"Ao Guang, do you want to capture Lu Xuanji first? This is the young master’s prey!" A white-dressed woman intervened, her words laced with disdain, "I’m afraid you can’t handle it!"
"Is that so? It is necessary to let these three human slaves know that the Cyan Dragon lineage is different from other demon races, as the Cyan Dragon is a Divine Beast, supremely noble." Ao Guang stepped forward, looking at Lu Xuanji: "Kid, make your move, let me see what arrogant tricks you have..."
Bam!
Just as Ao Guang’s words fell, the aftermath still rippling in the air, at that moment, a white jade palm descended from the sky. Instantly, Ao Guang’s body suffered a fatal blow, his head shattered.
"Mere mixed-blood Cyan Dragon, how useless!"
Lu Xuanji remarked coldly. A moment ago, Ao Guang did not die despite the blow; instead, his body writhed, his head smashed but not dead, full of vitality. Activating the Heaven Mending Cauldron, he suppressed it, obliterating its vitality, extracting its Essence Blood; then he kicked the enemy, stomping on Ao Guang’s corpse.
"Spare me! Spare me!"
The once intimidating and arrogant Ao Guang was now begging for his life, as miserable as he had been boastful before.
"The bloodline within your body is truly formidable, worthy of being the Cyan Dragon bloodline. The way of heaven, reducing excess to support the lacking, and the way of man depletes the lacking to serve the excess. Let you rich second generations make up for my deficiencies!"
Lu Xuanji suppressed Ao Guang, extracting his bloodline, his mind calculating, deducing.
"Ao Guang!"
Other experts were shocked, enraged.
With just one move, he had suppressed a half-step Demon Pill expert, about to kill him completely, and they hadn’t even reacted.
How strong was that?
How humiliating an insult to the heart!
"Kill!"
Mu Yehuang suddenly struck with a palm that transformed into countless giant hands, a towering phantom appearing behind him, turning into an ultimate killing move, attacking fiercely.
