"You've taken a lot of risks in this battle. Besides, you can't even survive now. Let's split it in half!"
Li Qingshan weighed the Yao Core in his hand. If they were in Jiuzhou, such a few Yao Cores would be nothing to anyone, but now they seemed precious.
"This is not the time to be even. At the same level of cultivation, your strength is far above mine, so let's focus on helping you recover first. This way, both of us will be safe. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so generous. Besides, it's not like I've come up empty-handed. I'm going to try some food. Help me put away the ape meat! "
"You really want to eat it?"
Li Qingshan was surprised. The broken limbs and blood on the snow could make even gluttons lose their appetite, and the White Ape King's corpse on the ground looked very much like a human.
"It might not taste as bad as it looks, but it's still spiritual meat, so it's worth a try. Let's go find the White Ape King's cave before the snow covers our tracks. "
As he spoke, the snowstorm grew stronger. The pieces were like goose feathers, moving up and down with the wind. The world was chaotic.
Li Qingshan didn't waste any time. He conjured a big bag and swept all the ape demons' corpses into it. Then, he carried Gu Yanying and flew into the wind, disappearing into the snow.
All that was left was a vast expanse of white snow, covering the blood and ruins.
Li Qingshan opened his eyes wide and searched hard. The ape demons moved quickly and left very few traces. Plus, they were in the middle of a snowstorm, so it was especially difficult to find them.
The cold was pervasive and deep. Li Qingshan hadn't felt such a chill in a long time, and Gu Yanying's lips were blue from the cold. If this went on, she would fall seriously ill. She had to use the Divine Talisman of Great Creation to create a warm current.
"Try to save energy. Don't be so warm. The Hot Wind Hell still makes me feel warm."
Gu Yanying snuggled up to Li Qingshan, using each other's body heat to keep warm.
Warm?
Li Qingshan shook his head. This was an insult to hell. He felt a burning pain in his soul, as if he had fallen in the middle of a desert, and the water in his body was being smoked dry. Yet, he remained clear-headed. If there was no obsession, even death would be close to freedom.
But what was truly warm was the soft body under her thin shirt.
The wind and snow howled, and the world was in chaos.
It was as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world. Refused to accept fate. Against the whole world. This feeling could not be described with words.
Li Qingshan lowered his head and glanced at her. Her handsome smile was a little stiff from the cold, but she was still smiling. Like the spring breeze in March, his pair of eagle eyes were still firm, but his true feelings were hard to detect.
"Watch where you're going!" Gu Yanying looked back at him.
"The snowstorm is too strong, so the trail has been cut off," Li Qingshan said.
"Let's think of another way. Don't forget our agreement. We're only friends, not lovers."
"I can't forget it. You should stop feeling so good about yourself!" Li Qingshan said disdainfully.
"I'm just reminding you. After all, a man and a woman are living together in the same world. However, I believe that we are not people who are affected by the environment."
"Are you saying that to yourself?"
"Yeah!" Gu Yanying said calmly. Even if they could go through life and death together, she had to keep her heart to herself.
"Understood."
Li Qingshan waved his hand, and the Divine Talisman of Great Creation shone with seven-colored brilliance. A black spirit dog materialized and landed lightly on the snowy ground. Its sharp nose sniffed around, and then it went into the forest.
…
The thousand-foot high mountain cut through the wind and snow, pointing straight to the sky.
There was a flickering light on the top of the mountain, like a star guiding the way, but it was a brightly lit villa.
On the precipice of the South Peak, four words were carved — The World's Sword Sect.
Everyone who came here for the first time would be amazed by the incredible sword skills of the person who carved the words, and the heroic spirit of looking down on the world.
However, there were exceptions today, and there were two of them.
"This white ape sure talks big!" Li Qingshan said.
"In this world, he probably lives up to his name. At the Qi Practitioner level, demons have a clear advantage in terms of physique. Add that to his innate magical powers, and his intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, and I'm afraid it will be hard to find a match for him. "
"Yes, but in a world with such thin Spirit Qi, it's not easy to nurture such a monster."
Li Qingshan rode the wind and landed in front of the villa's gate.
The gate was huge, and there were eighty-one nails on the gate, giving off the aura of an emperor. However, what sat in front of the gate was not a stone lion, but a pair of stone apes. There was a faint power shrouding the whole villa.
He said in surprise, "There's actually a formation, but it's very low-level."
"It's enough to deal with Qi Practitioners. Here, this is a formation plate, but I'm afraid you have to go to the eye of the formation first before you can replace its owner."
Gu Yanying took out the formation plate from the White Ape King's waist, and confirmed that there was no such thing as a hundred treasures pouch in this world. Otherwise, the White Ape King would have it. The difference between this world and the Nine States was not that all beings above Qi Practitioner were removed, but that the entire way of cultivation was backward.
"I'll go call the door, hm? There's no need. "
The vermilion gate suddenly opened, and dozens of shadows swayed inside. Firelight reflected off the snowy ground, dragging the shadows of Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying behind them.
"Who dares trespass into our Ape Deity Villa without permission!"
The middle-aged man in the lead shouted. His face was fiery red, and his voice was as loud as a bell. The short beard under his chin was very finely trimmed, adding a touch of elegance to his appearance. He was the world-famous "Marquis of the Blazing Flame Sword," Hou Hongtao, a Grandmaster of the Sword at the Ninth Tier of the Innate Level.
He was bewildered by the two people in front of him, not knowing how they had passed through the many hidden checkpoints on the mountain road to get here in this snowstorm. An expert like him would naturally not take the mountain road, and would directly ride his sword up. However, these two obviously looked like ordinary people, and they were carrying such a large cloth bag on their backs. Moreover, the cloth bag reeked of blood.
They had come with ill intentions!
Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying looked at each other. They did not expect there to be so many humans in the White Ape King's lair, but it was exactly what they wanted. With more people, they would be able to quickly understand the world around them.
"Do you still want to speak?" Li Qingshan asked Gu Yanying.
"You do it!"
"Alright!"
After their encounter with the White Ape King, it was clear that the gentle approach was not very suitable, so they might as well show their strength!
With a wave of Li Qingshan's hand, the cloth bag disappeared, and the severed limbs scattered on the ground. The most intact part was the White Ape King's corpse.
"Ah! That … that is … "
The crowd was in an uproar, and they all retreated.
"Your Highness!?"
Hou Hongtao was the only one who did not move. He stared at the White Ape King's corpse as if he was possessed, and muttered, "No, this is impossible!"
The world-famous White Ape King had led his subordinates out of the villa for less than a day, and yet it had ended up in such a tragic state.
The image of the demon star streaking across the sky brought a phrase to everyone's mind: the demon star descends, bringing disaster to the world.
"Hey, this old ape is still a King! From today onwards, this place is under our control, and you are all my subordinates. "
Li Qingshan announced in a loud voice as he stepped forward. The crowd retreated again, their faces filled with fear.
"I will guard the Ape Deity Villa on behalf of the White Ape King. If you dare take another step forward, don't blame me for being rude." Hou Hongtao's heart was thumping wildly as he stood firmly in place, his hand gripping the Blazing Sword at his waist. He had already calmed down, and a most logical conjecture came to him. "Do you think you can scare us with a mere illusion?"
"Yes, it must be an illusion. Your Highness is wise!"
"It's another trick of the demonic path!"
The swordsmen all came to their senses and drew their swords.
"You say this is an illusion?"
Li Qingshan had a strange expression on his face. Were the bastards of this world really that unmoved by force or persuasion? Did they really want him to go on a killing spree?
"I didn't expect the Phantom Dancer to have a successor, but to come up with such a laughable illusion. Doesn't he know that even if that old witch came personally, she wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on the Ape King's head?"
Hou Hongtao was more and more convinced of his judgment. He glanced at the ape corpses on the ground with contempt. It would have been fine if they had been poisoned. Although the chances of that happening were pitifully small, it was still easier to accept. However, it was impossible for them to have been torn to shreds with such a heavy hand.
Moreover, the biggest loophole was not this, but the beauty of the woman. Compared to her, the beauties collected from all over the world in the White Ape King's palace were like ordinary cosmetics. How could there be such a stunning beauty in this world? The only explanation was an illusion. At this thought, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Fake, everything is fake. Kill these two demonic remnants!" Someone shouted proudly.
"I'm so tired. I really can't communicate with them anymore." Li Qingshan let out a long sigh.
"If you don't believe me, you can come and check." Gu Yanying shrugged helplessly.
"Don't go, Your Highness. Who knows what's going on?"
"Yeah, let's kill them first!"
"Forget it. Let's go in first."
Li Qingshan pulled Gu Yanying and rushed through the door. He clenched and opened his right hand, ready to slay the dragon.
The forest of swords seemed to repeat the scene Just Now. Without Hou Hongtao's order, no one dared to make the first move.
Hou Hongtao stared coldly at the approaching Li Qingshan. The hand holding the sword ignited with a flame. I don't care what kind of demon or ghost you are, I'll cut you down with my sword.
However, a trace of uneasiness gradually welled up in his heart. Compared to the woman's stunning beauty, the man's appearance was nothing special. His body could only be considered tall, and he seemed to have practiced some external hard body skills. From beginning to end, there was nothing frightening about him. However, in the flickering flame, he exuded an indescribable demonic aura.
"I advise you not to try. I'm in a bad state right now, so I can't hold back."
Li Qingshan said sincerely and walked past Hou Hongtao.
With a clanging sound, the flame suddenly appeared.
More than half of the Raging Fire Sword was unsheathed. To everyone's surprise, Hou Hongtao, who was "like a raging fire, arrogant than a noble", did not make a move in the end. His face was flushed red.
Only a few people noticed that the moment he passed by, Li Qingshan put his fingers together like a sword and made a gesture. After a moment of contemplation, his face also changed.
Hou Hongtao ordered, "You two go and check carefully. The illusion is not completely flawless, and it can't be maintained forever."
The two braced themselves and went forward to check back and forth for a while. They said in a daze, "Your Highness, it doesn't seem … like it's not an illusion!"
