Chuo Long was on his last breath, as he muttered to himself, "Why?"
Many questions lingered in his mind. He had expected failure, but not death. Their strengths were clearly on par, and he might even be stronger. But why did Li Qingshan's cultivation suddenly increase? Why did he show mercy in that last strike?
Li Qingshan chuckled, and his laughter tore at his injuries, causing them to erupt into a bloody mist. Every wound was bleeding profusely. His body swayed and he fell backward on his back. Caught by Little Ann, he looked even more pitiful than Chuo Long.
This was his answer.
After breaking through to the 6th level of the Tiger Demon, not only had his cultivation increased, all his abilities had also increased. However, the Tiger Demon was not a living being, and there was no 'Spontaneous Nirvana'. Raising one's cultivation was not like leveling up in a game. With a swoosh, he was back to full health.
"Fury of the Tiger Demon" had always been about blood for blood, life for life. Injuring 10,000 enemies, injuring 8,000 oneself.
This was the result of him suppressing his injuries, and raising his combat strength at all costs. Behind that aura of a Wind God, was a broken body on the verge of collapse.
Especially that last move, "Myriad Flowers". His organs had been ruptured, and his blood vessels had been shattered. He had relied on his tiger bones to hold on, and they were covered in cracks.
In a battle of life and death, how could he show mercy? That last strike should not have had any repercussions, and should have exploded within Chuo Long's body, tearing him apart.
In the end, he could not hold on any longer, and could only do so.
"You!" Chuo Long immediately understood, and a strong sense of regret gnawed at his bones, "If I had not escaped..."
Li Qingshan lay weakly in Little Ann's embrace, his tiger stripes receding, and his scarlet eyes turning black. He laughed, "There is no 'if', you would have escaped!"
"Why?" Chuo Long stood there without moving, as though he was holding on to his last bit of pride.
"Because your anger and hatred are fake."
Li Qingshan's voice was hoarse. His life was slipping away, and if he could not return to his normal state, and activate "Spontaneous Nirvana". He would still die.
Little Ann bit the tip of his finger, and the blood condensed into a red bean. It contained the purest life energy. When it entered his mouth, his complexion immediately improved.
"What did you say?" Chuo Long glared at him with a ferocious expression.
"Time passes, all that I give to you will perish. Do you understand this feeling? "
The tiger stripes on Li Qingshan's body faded away, and he finally returned to his human form. In a split second, his tiger bones shattered. His blood began to burn, turning into scarlet flames.
Under the boundless starry sky, on the boundless plains, a ball of wildfire burned.
Chuo Long's expression kept changing in the firelight. He said in a low voice, "Time is mournful, everything that touches you will die … Time is mournful, everything that touches you will die …"
With a cry, Li Qingshan was reborn in the flames. Still feeling weak, he tried to clench his hands. He thought to himself, "Is it because we're at the border area? Even Nirvana would be suppressed. If it reaches the Nine Heavens, the impact will be even greater. Even if we have a few lives, it might not be enough! "
Chuo Long quickly understood the meaning of this sentence. He said coldly, "Those are the words of an ordinary man!"
Li Qingshan smiled. "When an ordinary man is angry, blood will splash five steps away. You, the high and mighty Emperor of Great Xia, have probably long forgotten what it means to risk your life. "
"Why should I risk my life? I don't need to!"
Chuo Long closed his eyes and recalled the past, when he swept through the world with an eagle and a wolf, and finally unified the nine provinces.
He relied on the techniques from the mortal realm, his powerful cultivation, and the corresponding knowledge and strategies. He was always in an invincible position, and he never needed to risk his life against anyone. Everything was under control.
"So, your anger and hatred are all fake. To you. The most important thing is always to protect yourself. "
When the Emperor was angry, blood would flow for thousands of miles, and it would be the blood of others.
Chuo Long was in an invincible position, and so was Li Qingshan. He just personally cut off the path of retreat, choosing to sink the cauldron to decide life and death.
In this battle, Chuo Long did not lose in strength, nor in strategy, but in determination.
Of course, it was normal for Chuo Long to be like this. For ordinary cultivators, the most important thing was to protect themselves. Not to mention a Human Emperor like him, who had reached the peak of the mortal realm, already had an extremely long life, and enjoyed all the prosperity of the mortal realm.
The son of a rich family would not sit under a roof, let alone fight with his life on the line.
"I see … this is … the end of me, Chuo Long … Hehe … Hahaha … Cough, cough …"
Chuo Long laughed bitterly, and his body shook violently. He seemed to be somewhat relieved, but also seemed to be unwilling.
Little Ann stood with his sword. If he wanted to self-destruct his demon heart, he would kill him with a sword.
However, he did not do so. He laughed like a madman, mixed with the shrill laughter of a woman. At the border of the mortal realm and the demon realm, he finally completely sank into the demon realm and fell into madness.
Little Ann did not attack, and he tilted his head. "It's you?"
The laughter gradually subsided, and it turned into a woman's voice. The crystal on Chuo Long's forehead sank into his head, and he turned into a woman's face, which was 70% to 80% similar to Qian Rongzhi, but with a bit more coldness.
His body shook continuously, and he twisted violently, turning into the figure of a woman. Billowing demonic aura surged over, and his badly mutilated skin recovered. He was as pale as paper, and as enchanting as a snake. She, the Child of Destiny of the demon realm, seemed to be getting more and more favored.
"Yes, it's me."
Li Qingshan frowned. "You swallowed Chuo Long?"
It was completely conceivable that she was parasitic in Chuo Long's body, like a malignant tumor, constantly mutating and multiplying, and finally swallowing Chuo Long's collapsed will.
Qian Rongzhi smiled. "Chuo Long has long ceased to exist. He was just an obsession, but he refused to admit it. Or rather, I am Chuo Long. "
This was not possession. As a Child of Destiny favored by heaven's will, under the chaotic and evil will of the demon realm, their divine souls had already fused long ago. Their memories and thoughts were interlinked, and it was more like two split personalities fighting with each other.
If Chuo Long won, he could eliminate the personality named "Qian Rongzhi", and pretend that he had succeeded in possession, or even that nothing had happened. However, it was impossible for him to win. Although the laws of heaven and earth were invisible, they were everywhere. The so-called "Qian Rongzhi" was already the representative of the demon realm's will, and no thoughts of betrayal could be allowed.
"Chuo Long" understood this, and that was why he desperately escaped from the demon realm, but he just happened to run into Li Qingshan at this time. Since he could not escape his fate, it was probably the work of heaven's will.
Li Qingshan unsheathed his Dying Flower Blade and sneered. "In that case, it would be best for me to kill you."
He loathed Qian Rongzhi even more than Chuo Long, and he even had the thought of killing her as soon as possible. If she was the one leading the battle Just Now, then it was very likely that they would die together, and he would have to think of a way to retreat instead of fighting a madman with his life on the line.
There was a saying: The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the unreasonable, the unreasonable fear the reckless, and the reckless fear the shameless. This woman did not care about her life, and was truly difficult to deal with.
However, Qian Rongzhi said, "The Black Sun Demon Heart is in your hands?"
