Qian Rongzhi coiled around Li Qingshan's wrist, hissing and flicking its forked tongue. Its timing was impeccable. Even the most ferocious tiger would be exhausted.
He had gone through a desperate battle where corpses piled up in the decaying city, and the grotesque legends of the ancient times.
During the final battle, Li Qingshan was naturally brave and fearless, disregarding life and death. Now that he had broken out of the encirclement and escaped the desperate situation, he felt a different kind of feeling.
When Qian Rongzhi represented the Infernal domain and extended another invitation, he did not reject it. Instead, he looked up. The bright moon had already set, and the demonic sky was deep and lofty. It was hard to imagine that there was such a warm and beautiful paradise on the other side of the sky. He had no choice but to team up with demons.
He had just escaped from the demonic city, and in the blink of an eye, he had entered a mysterious and dangerous maze.
And at the end of the maze, waiting for him would be a true demon god.
After fighting with the Taotie, he had a deeper understanding of the demon god's strength. Even with the Xuan-Yuan Sword and the Mountain Shifting Token, it would be difficult for him to win.
If he lost this time, he would not submit to Qiongqi. He could only die in battle.
He was not too afraid of death, but … was that the end?
Or … was he really not afraid of death?
Without fear, there was no need for bravery. Without pain, there was no need for perseverance. Without worries, there was no need for resolution.
Who in the world was willing to be brave, persevere, and resolute? Or rather, those who were resolute and resolute were all unfortunate fellows.
They did not hesitate to slaughter the common people and bear heinous sins. They did not fear mountains of blades or seas of fire, and killed all sorts of powerful enemies. Was it all for death?
"Yes, at this point, there is no other choice. I can only swallow this Blacksun Demon Heart. I need more power! As long as he swallowed this "Blacksun Demon Heart", everything would be solved. Why should he refuse? After all, this is the only way I can survive and help Brother Niu. "
Li Qingshan's expression fluctuated, and his eyes flickered.
Qian Rongzhi smiled as she watched.
Li Qingshan took out the "Demon Heart of Blacksun". Suddenly, his eyes flashed. He unsheathed his sword and slashed down heavily!
The "Devil Heart of the Black Sun" was cut in half by the "Xuanyuan Sword". With a clang, it shattered into pieces and scattered all over the sky, shining like stars.
In an instant, the Demonic Sky shook, and the weather changed. Qian Rongzhi's smile also disappeared.
The wind howled in the canyon, as if angrily questioning his actions.
Li Qingshan sheathed his sword. His eyes shone brightly like the stars in the sky. He laughed heartily. "Thank you for reminding me."
"Why?"
"I've been keeping this thing because I'm still hoping that I can get lucky. I'm prepared to take it out to turn the tide when I'm in a difficult situation."
"That's what a normal person thinks!"
"Yes, but unfortunately, I am Li Qingshan."
Back then, he was still young and full of youthful vigor. He did not fear death and dared to charge into the Black Wind stronghold alone. Now that he had tasted the good wine, slept with the beauties, and fought against the strong enemies, he didn't dare to face death with emotion?
If he was so cowardly from the beginning, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan would not have given him this sword, and the Demonic Sky would not have chosen him. Even Brother Bull was just an old bull with a broken horn that he sold. He would not be the "Li Qingshan" of today.
Along the way, he had done some good deeds of chivalry, but at the same time, he had killed many people and committed heinous crimes. Even until today, he was still unwilling to put down the butcher's knife. He was determined to follow his heart and walk towards the Nine Heavens.
Those who kill will always be killed. There was no need to feel resentment or escape. If it was time to die, then die!
The "Nine Heavens" was not far away, but in his heart. It was that cowherd boy who was unwilling to be mediocre. He was determined to follow his heart and live a happy life.
Li Qingshan glanced at Qian Rongzhi. "It's fine if it's others, but how can you not understand this logic?"
Behind her crazy appearance was a cruel and cunning heart. But in the depths, it was an even more hysterical madness. She wanted to set the world on fire. It wasn't just to pursue greater power and a longer lifespan.
If she died, the world would explode, and she would probably die immediately. She simply did not benefit herself and only focused on harming others.
Compared to her, that kind of selfish evil was brimming with idyllic scenery.
"It's a pity that the Demonic Sky chose you and not me!" Qian Rongzhi sighed.
"Because you are not Li Qingshan." Li Qingshan sheathed his sword and was in high spirits.
"Try to avoid Jiu Ying. I'm afraid you are not a match for her."
"Cut the crap. I don't care if they are Jiu Ying or Jiu Ying. I'll kill them all if they come!"
As Li Qingshan berated her, he used the "Spirit Turtle Transformation". His bloodline completely transformed into a spirit turtle, and a silent and profound power of Ruin's End spread out, filling his organs, limbs, and bones. He no longer leaked any aura. Even his body gradually became indistinct, becoming colorless and transparent like clear water.
He raised his right hand and looked at it before nodding in satisfaction. It was enough to fool the eyes of the Evil God. Only the little snake on his wrist was particularly bright and distinct. He snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
"Alright … You're impressive …"
Qian Rongzhi was speechless. She felt that he was even more shameless than her sometimes. Was this where the difference lay?
Thinking that, she also became transparent like water, merging perfectly with the surroundings.
"I probably won't be discovered like this. Hmph, it's not like I'm an idiot. I'll risk my life with whoever I see."
Li Qingshan nodded in satisfaction and strode to the end of the valley. He glanced at the distant demonic sky one last time before silently merging into the crack of flesh and blood.
During this process, his body rippled and changed like flowing water. He did not come into contact with the squirming flesh and blood in the surroundings to avoid giving away any traces of himself.
At the same time, the Great Freedom soul opened the eye on its forehead and observed the changes in the laws.
Even without Qian Rongzhi's reminder, he knew that he might not necessarily be able to defeat Jiu Ying.
This was not him underestimating himself. As his cultivation grew higher and higher, he constantly approached the realm of "refining his spirit to return to the void". Instead, he understood his limitations even more.
The way gods fought was completely different from cultivators. Techniques, arcane treasures, and formations were secondary. What mattered was their grasp over laws. In reality, techniques, arcane treasures, and formations were just an extension of laws.
Whoever could control laws was a god.
With the Xuan-Yuan sword, Li Qingshan entered the state of "being one with the world". He killed the White Dolphin Evil God like he was killing a pig. However, once the Taotie Demon God descended, even if it was just a clone, he was immediately forced into a desperate situation.
The most fundamental difference was not in strength, but in the level of "authority".
All cave abodes would have protective formations set up. As long as one stayed within the formation, they would be able to fight against stronger cultivators. However, if the control over the formation was taken away, they would be trapped. That was how he took down the dragon in the Xuanming Cave Abode.
The amazing thing about the Xuan-Yuan sword was that it could greatly increase his "authority".
According to his current observation, this Blood Maze should be an existence between "world" and "cave abode."
Jiu Ying must have the highest level of "authority" to be able to fight against the twelve demon gods. Otherwise, he would not be able to maintain it.
Even with the Xuan-Yuan sword in hand, it would be difficult for him to beat her in this aspect. He might even be suppressed by her. If it was purely a battle of strength, she probably would not even need to come out personally. The nine children of the evil gods would be enough to make him suffer.
After all, if he did not enter the magical state of "being one with the world", the White Dolphin Evil God would not be so easy to kill. What if the nine White Dolphin Evil Gods joined forces? Coupled with the unfathomable ancient Evil God Jiu Ying, the situation would be even worse.
This fissure was deeper and longer than he had imagined. He could not see the bottom even after traveling for hundreds of miles. However, the laws gradually changed, confirming some of Li Qingshan's thoughts. Therefore, he became even more cautious.
After traveling for a while, Just Now, he saw a round door that was tightly shut.
Deep within the flesh beside the door, crisscrossing purplish-red blood vessels outlined a few crooked but ancient words — Xuan-Pin Door.
