"That's good to hear!" Li Qingshan laughed aloud.
In the past, he would have been annoyed by Fu Qingjin's posturing and wanted to teach him a good lesson. Now, he saw the absolute confidence of a swordsman. There was also a will in his chest.
This was a good opponent!
"But I want to return the same words to you. You'll definitely lose this battle!"
Fu Qingjin smiled. "In the past, I only treated you as a little daemon with decent luck, but I must admit that the current you really does strike me as a little terrifying. If I have the opportunity, I'll kill you."
"I hope you can escape with your life from my hands."
"Oh? Why?"
"Killing a disciple of the Sword Collection palace with a renowned sword is a very troublesome matter," Li Qingshan said unconcernedly.
"In other words, you're going to hold back?" Fu Qingjin's face sank as his lips curled into a cold sneer.
"That'll depend on your ability. My murderous nature has been triggered, but even I can't control it. If you can escape, you'll be lucky. If you can't, I'll be in trouble."
Li Qingshan stood with his arms crossed as he smiled. He looked down at Fu Qingjin as if Fu Qingjin had already fled in defeat, while he was leisurely considering whether he should cut him down in a single stroke.
Fu Qingjin discovered that he had already lost the upper hand in their verbal confrontation. He said nothing more and drew the Green Ruins sword with a clang, announcing the end of the conversation.
Li Qingshan drew his blood-red blade and swung it casually. The blade aura cut through the storm.
The clouds rose and fell, filling up the hole Li Qingshan had created very soon. The golden pillar of light vanished. The world turned dark once more.
Faint, green light rose up from Fu Qingjin's body, coiling around him and blocking out the storm. His green robes and hair drifted with it.
It was like a bonfire in the endless night, burning brighter and brighter on the cliff.
Li Qingshan's daemon qi rushed into the air. His scarlet hair danced like fire as his blood-red eyes locked onto Fu Qingjin. His killing intent was like the wind.
The blood saber was raised high, but it suddenly paused and said with a smile, "You have a lot of helpers!"
Among the dark clouds. A bright bolt of lightning rapidly twisted and turned. In the blink of an eye, a bolt of lightning pierced through the clouds, but it was much slower than ordinary lightning. Looking closely, Zhou Tong was riding the Thunder Slaughter wooden sword as he tore through the air.
The Divine Firmament Lightning Manipulation Art circulated in his body to the extreme. Zhou Tong was delighted. That was the best way to unleash the power of lightning.
The Thunder Slaughter wooden sword flew into his hand. He raised it high and pointed it at the sky.
"Old Lord Taishang, it is as urgent as the law. God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning, Divine Thunder Exterminates Demons! "
Light shone from the dark clouds. Countless bolts of lightning interwove to form a net of electricity. Then, a huge bolt of lightning struck at Li Qingshan. Heaven and earth turned white.
Fu Qingjin suddenly took out a scarlet talisman from his sleeve. It transformed into a long and narrow golden sword and shot out, forming a pincer attack on Li Qingshan.
In the distant sky, there were specks of light. A large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators were a step slower than Zhou Tong, but they were also rushing over at the fastest speed possible.
Li Qingshan raised his brows slightly. He did not move. Dozens of feet above his head, the golden sword and the lightning clashed.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, what are you doing?" Zhou Tong exclaimed in shock and anger.
"This is our final battle," Fu Qingjin said indifferently.
"Fool, what's the point of fighting one-on-one against fiendish demons? See for yourself! " Zhou Tong pointed at the distant mountain. Black shadows swept past the mountain peak. Underground, waves of daemon qi passed through the underground caverns and rapidly approached.
The final battle between Li Qingshan and Fu Qingjin was not just tied to their survival, honour, or humiliation. It was also tied to the direction of the entire war.
If Li Qingshan died in battle, only Dragonsnail would be left. The night roamers would become leaderless again. If Fu Qingjin died in battle, no one would be able to subdue these sects anymore. The Demon Slayer of the Clear River prefecture would collapse too, and the meeting would be unable to continue.
Even without mentioning these effects, just the strength of the two of them was enough to disrupt the balance of victory and defeat. Neither side dared to be careless. They all used their full strength.
The battle between the two of them had developed into a battle between humans and daemons.
The Daemon Generals, powerful night roamers, and Foundation Establishment cultivators all gathered towards the two of them. It was like countless sparks were about to collide together.
The battle was on the verge of erupting!
Suddenly, swathes of sunlight scattered down from the sky. The sun shrouded by the thick, dark clouds peeked out, radiating with endless light and heat.
Tornadoes tore through the thick cloud layer. Everyone could not help but raise their heads. A figure in clothes whiter than snow stood in the clear blue sky.
"Commander Gu!" Liu Changqing, Wang Pushi, and the others cried out in surprise.
"Gu Yanying!" In Cobweb city, Helicoverpa Rosa was currently watching this through a mirror. Her face turned cold.
Gu Yanying held her jade folding fan and swung it gently. Fierce winds swept up the dark clouds and receded into the distance. A while later, she had opened up a clear sky that spanned a hundred kilometers across. She folded her fan and pointed downwards.
"No one is allowed to interfere with their battle. Whether it's humans or daemons, as long as they set foot in the sunlight, they will be executed without mercy. Zhou Tong, what are you looking at? I'm talking to you! Dragonsnail, do you think I can't see you just because you're hiding underground? "
"Fine, I'll go!" Zhou Tong let out a muffled snort and took off on his sword, directly flying fifty kilometers away under the shadow of the clouds. Just Now, he stopped. He had a bellyful of anger, but he had nowhere to vent it. The other Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately retreated as well. They dared not raise any objections.
Dragonsnail said nothing at all. She led the Daemon Generals and dove deeper underground.
The night roamers had received Li Qingshan's orders in the first place, so there was no need for them to come. However, they could not defy the Spider Queen's orders. Now that they saw Gu Yanying's powers, they became even more afraid of forcefully opposing her. They all retreated far away.
She's Gu Yanying. If I had this kind of power, would I still have to worry about revitalizing the night roamers? Ye Liusu stared at the white figure on the horizon.
Gu Yanying stood in the clear sky battlefield she had personally opened up. She lowered her head and said to Li Qingshan and Fu Qingjin, "You can continue. Right now, it's generals against commanders." She smiled. "Don't worry. I'm just an arbiter. No matter who kills who, I won't interfere."
"Then thank you for your help, commander Gu." Fu Qingjin clasped his hands.
"North Moon, is there anything else you want to say?"
Gu Yanying looked at Li Qingshan again as if she would be taken aback every time she saw him. She had never seen someone grow so quickly. Everyone had their own guesses about the deaths of the blood demon and rock demon, but she understood that it had something to do with him.
Aside from that, she also felt a sense of closeness, as if she was looking at her past self.
Just how much struggle have you gone through during the three years of secluded cultivation? Have you ever made a choice between human and daemon? Though, there's no choice at the end of the day, nor is there a need to choose. We can only stand on our own side. Neither side will accept us. That's true freedom.
While Gu Yanying was looking at Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan was also looking back at her. This was the woman of his dreams who he had fallen in love with at first sight. Her charm was still as beautiful as ever, and her brilliance hadn't diminished in the slightest. The longing in the past had turned into understanding at this moment. He understood why she could be as elegant as the wind, and this made her even more alluring.
What else do you want to say?
Li Qingshan's heart stirred. He raised his arm and pointed at her, smiling. "I fell in love with you at first sight!"
His voice resounded through the sky. The thunder in the distance also became weaker. For a moment, the world was silent.
All the cultivators were stunned. When they regained their senses, they all had different expressions and started discussing.
"Is he crazy? He's a daemon!" "But Commander Gu also seems to be …" "A toad lusting after swan meat. A mere Daemon General angered Commander Gu, so she killed him right now."
"Moon Devil … He's much bolder than me." Hwa Seung-zan muttered. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't help but admire him. Only a demon could be so straightforward!
Fu Qingjin finally revealed a shocked expression. The battle was imminent, but he had turned to the judge to confess his love. Furthermore, the person he was confessing to was the famous daughter of the Eagle Deity. North Moon, I've underestimated your arrogance.
"Master!" Ye Liubo pouted unhappily. That woman's breasts aren't even as big as mine, and her butt isn't big enough either. One look and you can tell that she's not a good mother!
Helicoverpa Rosa revealed a gloomy expression. Her subordinate Daemon General had gone to confess to her archenemy. This made her even more dissatisfied with Li Qingshan.
Of course, not many people could guess where he had fallen in love at first sight.
"That's all?" Gu Yanying's eyes widened like an eagle's.
"That's all!"
Li Qingshan smiled brightly. He was no longer the young ranger of the past, nor was he an infatuated person like Hwa Seung-zan. He only said what he wanted to say and did what he wanted to do. As for what Gu Yanying would think and do, it wasn't that important. As long as he was happy, who cared what the outcome would be?
"First, you have to stay alive! Even if you say so, I won't be biased. "
Gu Yanying also smiled. She shook her head slightly, her fine black hair fluttering in the wind. If all men could be so straightforward, then it wouldn't be troublesome to be liked by others.
As they spoke, Gu Yanying flew straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared from sight.
As Li Qingshan looked up, his surroundings suddenly changed. Collapsed palace walls, broken towers, and what stood under his feet was no longer the void. Instead, he was standing on cracked marble bricks that were covered in moss.
Everywhere gave off an aura of desolation and decay. It was difficult to distinguish what was real and what was fake. His connection with the spiritual qi of the world was suddenly severed, and he fell into the Green Ruins Illusion once again.
"Just how many times do you want to use the same move on me?" Li Qingshan turned around and looked at Fu Qingjin nearby.
"As long as it's useful, I don't care how many times." Fu Qingjin walked over slowly with his sword.
Liu Changqing sighed as he watched on from afar. "The Green Ruins sword is far too powerful. As long as you have the Green Ruins sword, you'll be in an advantageous position no matter who you face. You'll be undefeatable."
Even a powerful Daemon General like Strong Stone could only use his malevolent aura to dig a hole and flee before the Green Ruins Illusion. It was impossible for him to defeat Fu Qingjin in there.
However, Li Qingshan had not come today to flee!
Li Qingshan laughed aloud. He took a step forward and threw a punch at the empty space.
In that moment, countless cracks spread out, covering the entire Green Ruins Illusion like a spider web. The broken walls were like the scenery on a canvas, all of them falling apart and turning into powder.
Fu Qingjin's expression changed. He raised his sword to block, but the force of the tremors was startlingly powerful. He was sent flying through the air filled with fragments.
The Green Ruins Illusion was destroyed in a single punch. (To be continued …)
