Clatter, clatter.
While Wang Lu and Qiong Hua were talking, the sound of gravel rolling came from the entrance of the cave, and a tall, heavily armored woman slowly walked in.
Through the glimmer of light from the entrance of the cave, one could vaguely see the clothes of the person. The texture of the armor showed her identity as the master of the Grey Mountain, Lan.
However, when the woman approached, one could see that her skin was red, her long hair was like blood, her full lips had two sharp teeth protruding out, and behind her was a long tail that was slowly swaying.
No matter how one looked at her, she was not that persistent and slow human girl. She was clearly the natural disaster that once wreaked havoc in the Nine Regions — the demon race.
According to the rumor, the demon race was tyrannical in nature and regarded the creatures of the Nine Regions as their irreconcilable enemy. During the great war of immortals and demons, the people of the Nine Regions were plunged into misery and suffering. Nearly half of the cultivators who participated in the war were killed, and a large number of sects that had just recovered from the Age of Chaos were wiped out. After that, for thousands of years, although the demon race as a whole was silent, there were still some fish that slipped through the net and crossed the boundary of space to come to the Nine Regions, causing various crises.
If there was any common enemy in the Nine Regions for thousands of years, it was none other than the demon race. Even the predecessor of the Wanxian League was established to fight against the demon race. For the cultivators of the Wanxian League, no matter how big the hatred between them was, if they saw the demon race, they must join forces to fight against them. This was the iron rule.
However, when Lan approached, Wang Lu just looked back and smiled at her, without showing any hostility.
Seeing this, Qiong Hua finally could not help but change her countenance. "Wang Lu, you …"
Wang Lu said with a sarcastic smile, "As you said, Senior Sister, this is just an immortal dream land. Even if I marry a wife and have children here, so what? You can swing your sword and break the world, but I can't hook up with a girl? "
"This is not something that can be taken as a joke." Qiong Hua sternly said.
"I'm not joking with you, so I'll have to trouble you to bear with it. Teacher Wang's small classroom is about to start!"
Boom!
As soon as his voice fell, Wang Lu's heavy fist also landed on Qiong Hua's face.
The physical pain was not that intense. Although he didn't know how Wang Lu got rid of the Big Heart Demon Oath and went all out, it seemed like the disadvantage of his Non-Phase Method not being good at offense had not changed. With his newly advanced King Pill, he could only cause some superficial wounds even with his magical power overflowing … However, the real damage was this unscrupulous humiliation.
When cultivators fought, most of the time, they would stop at a certain point. There were a few people who had enmity with each other, and if they attacked with more force, they would make their opponent pay a price before stopping. Only when there was absolutely no way to live under the same sky as them would they attack to take someone's life. But what Wang Lu was doing now was worse than killing someone.
A scholar prefers death to humiliation. This was not just empty words. For the chief disciple of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League, every action was no longer his own business. Everything was related to the glory of the sect. In the fight with Wang Lu, Qiong Hua could be defeated because she paid a heavy price to use the Kill Immortal Sword. Although she was defeated, it was still a glorious defeat, while Wang Lu had an unfair advantage.
However, this face slapping humiliation could no longer be washed away by the previous reason. Qiong Hua had been cultivating for so many years, but she had never been humiliated like this!
If she wanted to wash away this humiliation, she could only...
"Senior Sister Qiong Hua, I advise you not to do stupid things. I can't give you the opportunity to die together with me."
When Qiong Hua made the decision in her heart and her Jade Mansion slightly trembled, Wang Lu suddenly stopped and leaned to the side, letting Lan come forward.
Seeing this Demon Race girl, Qiong Hua couldn't help but frown, because this heavily armored girl, no matter how she looked at it, felt strange. There was a strong sense of incongruity, as if … as if this body was a completely different person.
"Oh, you're quite sharp." Lan faintly said. Her expression was as cold as ice, and this coldness immediately made Qiong Hua recognize her identity.
"Faceless?"
Wang Lu said, "Yes, my gold medal assistant, Faceless. As long as he is here, don't even think about skipping class."
With that, another heavy punch landed on Qiong Hua's face. Her jade-white cheeks slightly swelled, and a bruise overflowed.
At the same time, Faceless, who was attached to Lan's body, stretched out her tail, and stabbed Qiong Hua's forehead.
All of a sudden, a feeling of numbness spread all over her body and spread from her body to her Jade Mansion and primordial spirit … Qiong Hua felt that the King Pill in her Jade Mansion stagnated, unexpectedly not listening to her command. Her primordial spirit was also blinded by the devil qi, becoming turbid and unclear. In such a state, even if she wanted to die together with him, she couldn't … The burden of the Kill Immortal Sword on her was a bit heavier than expected. Unexpectedly, she couldn't even resist a trivial poison!
"This is not a trivial poison." Faceless seemed to have anticipated Qiong Hua's thoughts and lightly explained, "The physical structure of this race is very powerful. The tip of their tail can produce an astonishing poisonous substance. Not to mention that you're not in a good state right now, even if you're at your peak, if you're unguarded and stung, you can only lie on the ground and be at the mercy of others."
Qiong Hua's heart was anxious and shocked. As the lead disciple of Shengjing Sect, she traveled all year round to gain experiential learning, so how could she not guard against poison? Her body was planted with Qiongyu Branch, which could purify all kinds of poison. In addition, she also cultivated several body protection methods, so no matter how powerful the poison was, it was impossible for it to penetrate into her body without being noticed, unless …
She reluctantly operated her primordial spirit to look inside her body, and sure enough, she saw that the Qiongyu Branch had been broken … That's right, those punches just now were not only to humiliate her, but also to target the Qiongyu Branch!? The poison in his fists was used to attract the Qiongyu Branch, and then he used the Nameless Sword to counterattack!?
Wang Lu's targeting was too strong. The existence of the Qiongyu Branch was Qiong Hua's life-saving card. Even in Shengjing Sect, only a few people knew about it, so what about him … That's right, previously, she and Faceless One had a fierce battle. Perhaps it was at that time that she exposed a lot of her cards.
However, after these thoughts crossed her mind, Qiong Hua suddenly realized a more serious problem: Red face, heavy armor, poisonous tail, this … this image, she had vaguely seen it somewhere before!
Thinking to this, Qiong Hua couldn't even care about the shame and anger in her heart. She wanted to speak, but the poison spread, making her mouth and tongue numb. She wanted to use her primordial spirit to transmit her voice, but she found out that Wang Lu had used his Non-Phase Sword Qi to set up a defense outside his body, isolating all external forces from invading.
… But at this time, he was still so cautious!
Just as Qiong Hua gradually became anxious, Wang Lu suddenly opened his mouth.
"Senior Sister Qiong Hua, based on my understanding of you, you're actually not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. Whether it's in public, you need to consider the sect's prestige, or in private, as far as I know, you're a fairly generous lead disciple. However, in this world, you killed hundreds of millions of creatures without batting an eyelid, just because this is an immortal dream land?"
Wang Lu said with a faint smile. "That shouldn't be the case, right? Look, apart from you, every single one of the five chief disciples has invested their true feelings into this world. Because even if everything here is a dream, everything you do and every single action you take is something that really happened. You've killed hundreds of millions of creatures with your sword, aren't you afraid of being haunted by heart demons? "
Qiong Hua sneered in her heart, but the next moment, Wang Lu suddenly approached her and slowly said.
"Of course you're not afraid. Fairy Qiong Hua has always done things in an open and aboveboard manner. Even though this sword has committed a monstrous sin, your heart is magnanimous, and any heart demons can't entangle you … Because, what you've killed are the creatures of the demon world, the irreconcilable enemies of human beings. The more you kill, the more clear your mind is."
Qiong Hua closed her eyes and didn't speak. There were some things that she really disdained to explain.
Wang Lu said, "Moreover, you don't want to leave this matter to others. You discovered the truth by chance the moment you entered this ring, but you didn't even tell your junior brothers and sisters by your side, and you didn't even contact the other four chief disciples. You only planned to bear everything by yourself, because you believed that only you could bear this heavy burden. You're the lead disciple of Shengjing Sect, and Shengjing Sect is the leader of the Wanxian League. Right now, you're the fully deserving number one person among your peers. Even if it's me, under fair conditions, my odds of winning are only thirty to forty percent. And after a few decades, you will become one of the youngest Supremes in Nine Regions. At the same time, you're more likely to take over the position of Supreme He Tu and become the leader of this world. In addition to supreme glory, this also means that it's difficult to shirk responsibility. Shengjing Sect is often accused of being overbearing, but in the great war of immortals and demons, Shengjing Sect has contributed the most … This is the way of the king, right? "
Upon hearing this, Qiong Hua's heart gradually calmed down, but at the same time, she was even more puzzled.
She didn't expect other people to understand these things. After all, everyone's position was different, so their horizons were different. But Wang Lu … Since he could understand all of this, why would he...
Thinking to this, suddenly, a gust of wind blew in front of her, and Wang Lu's heavy punch once again fell.
This punch was exceptionally painful.
"Senior Sister Qiong Hua, the affirmation in your eyes just now has strengthened my determination to wake you up." Wang Lu said, "If you're the kind of person who only cares about benefits and abandons all benevolence, righteousness, and morality, I would be too lazy to care about you. But now …"
Bam! Another punch. Qiong Hua felt that her eyes were somewhat unable to open, but … Even if she could open them, she really couldn't see through Wang Lu's next step.
"Perhaps your understanding of the so-called way of the king is not wrong … Even the most generous king will become cruel to the enemy. But your sword strike that broke the world with ease reminds me of another kind of person. "
Wang Lu said, "They tie a large number of explosive talismans on their bodies, and fearlessly rush into the enemy's crowd to detonate them, causing heavy casualties. They face death calmly, and at the same time, they don't care who died under the explosive talismans. Newlywed wife? A toddler learning to speak? Old people past their prime? It doesn't matter. They are the enemy, they deserve to die. In order to kill them, I can pay any price … See, what's the difference between that and what you did? "
Qiong Hua just sneered. Her mind was firm, how could it be shaken by words?
Wang Lu also said, "Moreover, Senior Sister Qiong Hua, have you ever thought about what this immortal dream land wants us to do? The one who built the entire group of immortal tombs is Dixian of Nine Regions, but the background of this ring is set in the demon world. Moreover, everyone around them seems to be flesh and blood. Zhan Ziye, that idiot, even fell in love with the forest fairy … or the demon forest demon. It can be seen that letting us deepen the contact and exchange with these demons is the deliberate intention of the designer. But, what's the meaning of this design? "
"I don't know what you're thinking, Senior Sister, but the way I see it, the designer clearly wants to tell us that even if they're absolutely irreconcilable enemies, they're still living beings of flesh and blood, and we share the same feelings …"
When Wang Lu said this, he suddenly felt that Qiong Hua under his feet fiercely trembled. Her tongue was paralyzed by poison, and her angry voice intermittently sounded, "So, you can even ignore the distinction between immortal and demon and call them brothers?"
"Brothers?" Wang Lu smiled and shook his head, and then punched Qiong Hua in the face, making her completely shut up.
"Do they deserve it?"
