Bang!
The blood-red heart stopped beating, and the black poison spread like a shadow. The heart was corroded into a pitch-black color in the blink of an eye.
"Hehehehe!" Li Qingshan's laughter did not stop, and his expression did not change at all. Even the movements of his hands were still gentle. "Someone once sold my whereabouts to the Demon Slayer Fu Qingjin. You were the one who did it, right?"
"So what if I am?" Ye Mingzhu turned into a shadow and blended into the darkness. Her voice echoed in the hall. "Not only is the heart not a vital point, it can't even injure him severely? If I had known this would happen, I would have attacked the brain directly! "
"In the past, I didn't take you to heart. After experiencing this incident, I realized that I really shouldn't have left any latent dangers in the Asura Arena!"
Li Qingshan sat up, his long hair falling down to cover his face. He put his hands on his knees and shook his head hard, as if lamenting his negligence in the past.
"Unfortunately, it's too late for you to understand. If I had waited for you to fully recover your strength, how would I dare to attack you?"
"What I don't understand is, if you don't make a move, how can I justify killing you?"
"Hehe, North Moon, I had thought that you were a big shot, but it turns out that you are so timid. You gave me the chance to kill you for such a ridiculous reason. I will come and go as I please. What can you do to me?"
Ye Mingzhu felt a chill in her heart, but she immediately dismissed it. He did not understand how powerful she was right now. As long as she was not trapped in a spatial domain like the Asura Field, she could hide all of her aura and pass through any obstacles. Be it steel or formations, she could ignore them all.
This was the way night roamers fought. The way of survival was the way of an assassin. Defeating the strong with the weak was nothing but a walk in the park. No matter how strong the enemy's defense was, he would be able to kill them with a single strike. Even if he failed, he would be able to escape far away.
"To you, Liusu's idea might be a laughable reason, but to me, it's not. As for who I am, that's not for you to judge. You've been spouting nonsense here. Why aren't you making a move? Are you afraid? Then I'll let you have three moves first! "
"Three moves? Was it still because of Liusu? What a good son-in-law! "
"No, it's because you're Just Serving Me Well Now, Mother-in-law!"
The corners of Li Qingshan's mouth raised into a smile. A black sword pierced through the space between his brows. A shadow appeared behind Li Qingshan. Ignoring the tough cowhide and tenacious tiger bones, he pierced through its skull with a single strike.
"The second move." Li Qingshan didn't move, ignoring the shadow behind him.
Ye Mingzhu was shocked. Where was his vital point? If an attack that one thought was fatal was useless in a fight, it could very well affect the outcome of the battle! Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan sneered coldly. Since you dare to act so arrogantly, don't blame me for being ruthless!
"Hundred Ghosts Night Tour!"
One by one, human figures walked out of the darkness like thin shadows. Some had swollen bodies, some had long limbs, and they were constantly twisting and changing like ghosts, approaching Li Qingshan on the lotus platform.
Li Qingshan continued to sit there without budging, as steady as a mountain. The ghosts lunged over, and their heads suddenly split open, turning into huge mouths with criss-crossed teeth that bit down on Li Qingshan and tore at him viciously.
Ye Mingzhu's heart sank. Did he not have any vital points on his body?
"The third move. With your strength, even if I let you have another hundred moves, what can you do?"
Li Qingshan said indifferently. Waves of demonic qi gushed out of his body, sweeping away all the ghosts. His body expanded until it was more than three meters tall. He had completely demonized!
A sinister scarlet armor covered every inch of his skin, leaving only a pair of eyes that were similar in color to his demonic heart, a mix of red and blue, staring at the boundless darkness.
The Traitorous Demon Sword appeared in front of his knees. Its single eye turned, demonic light swirling around it.
Ye Mingzhu's eyes widened. "He's hiding his strength. What a powerful aura! This isn't demonic qi!" She suddenly realized that although she had known him for a long time and had even had a fling with him, she did not understand him at all. It would not be easy to kill him!
Without hesitation, she immediately sneaked out of the hall. If she couldn't kill him, then she wouldn't kill him. In any case, the Dragon King Of The Sea would kill him for her!
"You still want to leave?" Li Qingshan stroked the Traitorous Demon Sword, feeling the new strength flowing through his body, but he still did not attack!
Ye Mingzhu had already passed through the wall and arrived outside the hall. Just as she thought that she would be able to soar freely in the skies, she suddenly slammed into a black wall and was bounced back.
"What is this?"
At some unknown time, a towering black pagoda had appeared atop a lone peak, enveloping the entire hall.
Ye Mingzhu dove down and slammed into the black floor that was also made of the same material. She bumped around in the pagoda like a headless fly, but she was unable to escape.
"It's the demonic intent in your heart, and it's also the demonic intent in my heart! The cultivation method you night roamers practise is called the Night Demon scripture. What a coincidence! "
Swish! Countless pitch-black Chains of Demon Suppression seemed to extend out of thin air, criss-crossing with one another.
Ye Mingzhu turned into a shadow, thinking that she had hidden very well. In the blink of an eye, countless Chains of Demon Suppression came shuttling back and forth, aiming at her position. She was shocked and flew away, but the Chains of Demon Suppression were like maggots in tarsal bones, chasing after her.
No matter how fast she was, dodging the pursuit of so many chains in such a narrow space was rather taxing. Suddenly, a huge net woven from chains fell towards her.
She dared not test whether the net could touch her body or not. The shadow twisted and became extremely thin, passing through the opening of the net. However, she felt her waist tighten, and the net tightened as well. She paused, and countless Chains of Demon Suppression wrapped around her. No matter how she struggled, she was unable to break free.
From beginning to end, Li Qingshan remained seated on the lotus pedestal the entire time. The chains before him intertwined like a ball, with a black shadow bumping around inside.
"Why don't you show your true form?" Li Qingshan waved his hand and dispersed the Demon Suppression Tower.
"Spare me, master! Mingzhu will never do it again!"
Ye Mingzhu revealed herself and begged for mercy in a panic. Only now did she understand that everything was within his plan. The so-called opportunity to kill him and escape had never existed in the very beginning!
Li Qingshan stood up and shook his body.
Crack!
A crack appeared on the scarlet armor, quickly spreading into a sea of cracks. The originally sinister and shiny armor suddenly became like a rock that had been dried up, covered in cracks and scattering.
Like an eggshell shattering, a brand new appearance was revealed. His figure was much smaller, only slightly taller than an ordinary person. He still seemed to be wearing armor, but there was an additional dark blue color. His slender and smooth body flowed like the clouds and flowing water. Even his face was covered by a curved visor, making it impossible to see his brows. However, there were ripples of water, like surging waves or rising and falling tides. His joints were covered in swirling patterns, giving him a magnificent sense of beauty.
After completely melting the Deep Ocean Pearl, the Demon Suppression Statuary finally transformed from an empty shell into substance, revealing the true form of a Demon Commander unique to Li Qingshan!
"I originally thought that you would be able to make me move a bit. How disappointing!"
The visor opened, revealing a face that was very unfamiliar to Ye Mingzhu. It was very similar to Li Qingshan's original appearance, except that it was not as angular as before, appearing softer. However, there were beast markings on both sides of his cheeks, and as he spoke, he revealed sharp fangs.
"Master, I beg you to spare my life for Liusu's sake. I will serve you well! Otherwise, I will detonate the Night Demon Core and you will get nothing! "
"If I say that as long as you hand over the Night Demon Core, I will spare your life, what will you choose?"
Ye Mingzhu fell into a dilemma. If she handed over the Night Demon Core, she would lose her final bargaining chip, but if she did not hand it over, she would die without a doubt. She thought again and again. "As long as you swear …"
Before she had finished speaking, there was a flash of sword light. Ye Mingzhu's head, still wearing a stunned expression, rolled to the ground.
"If you only wanted to escape and not take the opportunity to assassinate me, I might have spared your life! Even at this point, you still want to threaten me? You're really seeking death! "
Li Qingshan put away the Traitorous Demon Sword and held a black pearl in his hand. There seemed to be dark shadows lingering within it, forming an ever-changing devil's face. It was the Night Demon Core. He then put Ye Mingzhu's corpse into his Hundred Treasures Pouch and returned to his child's appearance. Then, he waved his hand to summon Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo, saying, "Ye Mingzhu tried to assassinate me and has been killed by me!"
"What!" Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo both revealed expressions of shock.
"She said that she had something important to discuss with me, and that it had to be outside the Asura Field. After we met, seeing that my strength had not recovered, she had ill intentions!"
Ye Liubo said hatefully, "I could tell that there was something wrong with her expression during the day. So she was testing Master's strength!"
"Mother!"
Ye Liusu murmured and became sorrowful. She did not doubt his explanation at all. If he did not want her to know, all he had to do was say that Ye Mingzhu had escaped. There was no need for him to tell her at all, and doing something like that suited Ye Mingzhu's personality.
Deep regret filled his heart. It's all my fault. I've said too much to her! If he had not told Ye Mingzhu that he was currently in a weakened state, she would never have done anything given how cautious she was. And clearly, this information was not true either.
"I personally believe I have a clear conscience towards the night roamers, yet this is how I've been repaid in the end. It's truly disappointing. Once the time is ripe, I'll move the night roamers away!"
"Master wants to abandon us?" Ye Liusu cried out involuntarily. Ye Liubo's expression changed drastically too. Had he grown suspicious of all night roamers because of what happened to Ye Mingzhu?
"Not you, but everyone else. The only people I care about among the night roamers are the two of you. The fates of the others have nothing to do with me. I can't be bothered with oppressing them and using them for fun like Helicoverpa Rosa either. Why don't we all go our separate ways?"
Ye Liubo stopped worrying. Ye Liusu knelt down. "Please take back your name, Master!"
The greatest difference between her and Ye Mingzhu was their ideals. Ye Mingzhu only needed to consider her own benefits and losses. When it mattered, she could even cast her daughter to the back of her mind, completely unconcerned about the effects of her escape.
On the other hand, Ye Liusu considered the development of the entire night roamers. Originally, everything was going very smoothly. All she had to do was wait for the day he became a Daemon King, and the night roamers that followed him would obviously be able to stand in the world.
