The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber was truly frightened. Ever since he became a fatty, he had never suffered so much. He could not fight back at all!
His opponent was clearly the White Hawk commander, but in the series of battles Just Now, he had clearly been using daemon qi even though he had been suppressing and hiding it, and he was not a regular human-daemon hybrid. The purity of his daemon qi was on par with Daemon Kings!
His gaze landed on the pair of curved horns, and his eyes suddenly filled with great surprise. North Moon!
One of the Ten Daemon Kings, the Dragon King Of The Sea, had pursued a daemon for several tens of thousands of kilometers, all the way into the Mist province before finally killing him!
Although the south was very far away, news of something as great as this had spread far and wide among the upper echelon of the cultivation community. The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber had heard about it too, and the daemon that had been pursued seemed to be called North Moon!
"Fatty, you've heard of that name before?" Li Qingshan immediately noticed.
"No … I don't know what it means!" Said the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber. He refused to admit it no matter what. There was clearly a great secret here. If this Li Qingshan saw it, he would definitely be silenced!
"If you say another word of nonsense, I'll punch you to death!" Li Qingshan said.
"Yes, yes, yes. I think I've heard it somewhere before …" The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber prostrated himself on the ground.
"Forget it. You said you want to serve me as your master. You can't just say it like that …"
"I'm willing to swear an oath that I'll serve the White Hawk commander, Li Qingshan, as my master from today onwards. I'll be absolutely loyal, and I'll be willing to risk my life for you. If I break my oath, my guts will be torn apart, and I'll die a horrible death. I'll suffer the pain of samsara for all eternity!" The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber raised his hand and said seriously.
"Do you take me for a child? I'll count to ten. Think of a way for me to accept it, or die!" Li Qingshan stomped down on his huge head. Only someone sick in the head would believe a demonic cultivator's oath!
"There should be a Blood Oath Scroll in Savage mountain," said Little Ann.
The Blood Oath Scroll was an extremely famous artifact of the southern border. Although it didn't have any combat power and could only be used to write oaths, its binding power was extremely strong. Once an oath was broken, the Blood Oath Scroll would cause a backlash, and one's soul would scatter. It was almost a powerful curse, and it was also the foundation upon which the Lair of Demons was established. It maintained the most basic trust between cave masters.
Little Ann had read through the records of the Hawkwolf Guard before choosing Savage mountain as his first target. A large part of the reason why he wanted to obtain the Blood Oath Scroll was because of this Blood Oath Scroll. If nothing went wrong, this item would play a rather important role during his trip to the Mist province.
"I can't do that! If the oath on the Blood Oath Scroll is forcefully erased, I will also die from the backlash!"
The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber was alarmed. Originally, he planned on fooling around before finding an opportunity to escape. As long as he was alive, there was hope. However, if he swore an oath on the Blood Oath Scroll, then it would truly be troublesome.
"You swore a blood oath to fight against foreign enemies together. Now that you've betrayed us and defected to the enemy, you didn't die from the backlash," Little Ann said.
The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber was left speechless. He definitely did not truly want to serve Li Qingshan as his master, nor had he committed any actual acts of betrayal. He was only stalling. Of course, that was not breaking the blood oath. This created a paradox. If he truly pledged his loyalty to Li Qingshan, he would be breaking the blood oath, and only death awaited him. If he only pledged his loyalty verbally, then his loyalty would be meaningless, and there would be no guarantee.
"Since that's the case, I won't let you struggle. I'll give you a quick death!" Li Qingshan exerted force with his feet.
"No, there's another way. I can help you break the formation. The first cave master, Yu Wufeng, is currently in seclusion on the mountain. His strength far surpasses mine. If he doesn't come out, you won't be able to do anything to him."
"So there's another one on the mountain. He should have heard such a big commotion! Why haven't you come out yet? Are you shivering in your dwelling? "Li Qingshan asked.
"Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber, are you really bold enough to help them get through the formation? Aren't you afraid of the backlash from the blood oath? "
An icy-cold voice drifted over with the wind. Li Qingshan looked back and saw a thin, white-haired man standing on the top of the mountain with a sword on his back. His sleeves and clothes were in tatters, fluttering in the wind.
"Yu Wufeng, you're watching us get killed without lending a hand. Aren't you afraid of the backlash from the blood oath?" the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber roared furiously.
"You want to restrain me, Yu Wufeng, with a mere blood oath? Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber, you can just die obediently for the sake of my Lair of Demons! As for you, Li Qingshan, or should I say North Moon, if you're willing to obey my orders obediently, then so be it. Otherwise, I'll announce this identity of yours. If the Dragon King Of The Sea learns that his enemy is still alive, he'll definitely be very unhappy! "Yu Wufeng said.
"Commander Li, I'll get through the formation for you right now and help you kill that bastard Yu Wufeng!"
The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber let out a furious roar and suddenly stood up. He swung his plump hands at Savage mountain, and the formations began to operate, shining brightly. However, under the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber's control, they showed signs of dispersing.
At this moment, a bloody handprint suddenly pressed against the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber's chest. Blood sprayed wildly from his mouth and he was blown away. Every single pore on his body oozed with blood, and he became drenched in blood in the blink of an eye.
It happened so quickly that even Li Qingshan failed to react in time. The Blood Oath Scroll had come into effect!
However, the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber actually sat up again with a flip. He wiped away the blood on his face and continued to get through the formation, except he had become much thinner again. He seemed almost like a regular fatty now.
"You've actually also …" Yu Wufeng paled in fright.
"Yu Wufeng, do you think I can't do what you can? If you want me dead, then let's see who dies first!" The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber smiled viciously with his bloody mouth.
"Oi, your blood oath doesn't seem to be of much use!" Li Qingshan scratched his head.
As it turned out, while the Blood Oath Scroll possessed a very powerful binding force, the Blood Oath Scroll in Savage mountain was ownerless. None of the cave masters could be at ease with letting someone else refine this arcane treasure, so they sealed it in the centre of the mountain. If a new cave master joined them, they would need the agreement of at least half of the cave masters, and only then could they work together to open the restriction.
The Blood Oath Scroll was not a symbol of fairness and justice in essence. Instead, it was specially refined by ancient demonic cultivators, a tool to control enemies. Although it was placed in the depths of Savage mountain, which was dense with spiritual qi, it still maintained a powerful binding force. However, with Yu Wufeng's cultivation, he could slowly eliminate the curse of the Blood Oath Scroll as long as he put in a lot of effort. The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber's cultivation was a little weaker, but he could still weaken the curse to a level where he could endure it.
If it had been refined and wielded by someone else, they would never have been given this opportunity. As soon as they showed this inclination, they would be punished immediately. The power that an ownerless arcane treasure could unleash was limited at the end of the day.
The light from the formations dimmed very quickly. As the second cave master of the Lair of Demons, the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber knew these formations like the back of his hand, and he possessed the authority to control them. Getting through the formations was basically as easy as opening the door to his own house with a key.
Yu Wufeng, who originally thought he was undefeatable, darkened. He desperately maintained the operation of the formations. The formations flickered with light and dimmed at other times. The two powers were locked in a stalemate.
With a flap of his wings, Li Qingshan turned into a streak of fire and rushed into the depths of the valley. The formations seemed to want to stop him, but they shattered the moment they came into contact with the fire on him, collapsing and dispersing.
Even though Yu Wufeng could barely hold the door, an unlocked door could be kicked open by Li Qingshan with a single kick. He threw a punch at Yu Wufeng on the top of the mountain.
"You're called Yu Wufeng, right?"
"That's right!"
Yu Wufeng said proudly. The sword on his back left its sheath with a clang.
At that moment, the surroundings were filled with white light. Sword qi filled it, omnipresent.
The Fogbow Pierces the Sun!
"An arcane treasure!"
Li Qingshan's eyes narrowed. He really is the first cave master of the Lair of Demons after all. So he's actually a sword cultivator, and his cultivation is already extremely close to the third heavenly tribulation. His path of the sword is even greater than mine, and he even has an arcane treasure sword like that. If I fight him alone, it really won't be easy to make him stay!
He formed a seal with his hand and guided it smoothly. The figure of a dragon soared out, passing through the white light and colliding with the streak of white light.
In a split second, the two swords clashed countless times. The dragon figure was forced back, and the streak of white light dimmed slightly too.
The iron fist tore through the air, filling Yu Wufeng's eyes. The heavy aura it contained felt like a mountain had smashed down.
Yu Wufeng was stern. Just now, he was watching silently from the sidelines. He was already amazed inside, but only when he personally clashed with him did he realize how ridiculously powerful he was. His swordsmanship was impressive, but it was only impressive before him. His fist was the truly terrifying weapon of slaughter. It made people feel like they could not face it head-on.
No, I can't continue fighting, or my life really will be in danger today!
Boom!
Rubble flew and dust filled the air. A hole appeared on the top of the mountain.
A streak of white light rushed out of the dust. Yu Wufeng had become one with his sword before fleeing into the distance with lightning speed. He had actually chosen to flee without the slightest hesitation.
"Commander Li, you mustn't let him escape, or we'll be in endless trouble in the future!"
The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber clenched his fists firmly and called out loudly. His face was filled with delight. He quickly glanced at Little Ann's back from the corner of his eye. He was clearly not as excited as he was on the outside. His main objective was still to use Yu Wufeng as bait to draw away the two of them, and then use the opportunity to flee.
"Don't run," Little Ann said without even looking back. His voice was as calm as water. It was neither a threat, nor an order. It did not even seem like he was talking to the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber. He was simply narrating something.
"I've already sworn an oath. I'll never go back on it!"
The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber's fat jiggled, immediately dismissing the thought of using the opportunity to flee. He had never seen such great beauty in his life, but what it evoked in his heart was not lust, but an indescribable fear.
The white streak of light that Yu Wufeng had transformed into had flown less than five kilometers away when he was forced to stop.
Huge skulls rose up in the surroundings, cackling strangely as if they had been waiting for a very long time. They flew around and assembled into the Skeleton Demon Formation, trapping Yu Wufeng in there.
"Since when?" Yu Wufeng looked back in shock, meeting a pair of calm, unwavering eyes in the valley.
Flames blazed furiously as iron fists filled the surroundings. This time, Yu Wufeng was unable to dodge!
