"That's right!" Ye Duanhai raised his guard instinctively. The Sea-splitting sword in his hand thrummed slightly as he was slightly surprised, Since when did the Mist province gain an expert like this? He can actually make me feel threatened!
As a great sword cultivator, his heart of the sword was clear, allowing him to make a sharp judgement over the strength of others. Although the Mist province had plenty of great cultivators and great daemons, there were only a handful that could truly threaten him. Even if he was not their opponent, he could advance and retreat with ease.
However, in that moment, he could clearly sense that if he became enemies with this "meteor", he could not even guarantee that.
The meteor fell extremely quickly. Its target was the barren mountain. Ye Duanhai found the light to be rather familiar. He raised an eyebrow. It's him!
The meteor arrived before him, and the wind and fire dispersed loudly. A handsome man with scarlet hair, scarlet eyes, and a pair of horns appeared. He was clad in scarlet demonic armor with an asura armament hanging from his waist. He withdrew his phoenix wings and clasped his hands. "Pavilion master Ye, long time no see!"
"Li Qingshan!" Ye Duanhai could not help but be slightly surprised. He praised, "You haven't wasted the past decade or so!"
"Time waits for no one!" Just when Li Qingshan was about to make small talk, the demon qi he gave off alarmed the Thousand Tendrils King. He called out, "You have a demon heart! You're also a demon! Lend me a hand and kill this sword cultivator. I have endless benefits for you! "
Li Qingshan sniggered, revealing his sharp teeth. He turned around and asked, "Brother meat ball, can you tell me in detail just what these endless benefits are?"
Ye Duanhai grew even more cautious. He silently tightened his grip on the Sea-splitting sword. He also doubted Li Qingshan's intentions for coming here.
"Don't be rude! I'm the Thousand Tendrils King! Kid, the Demon domain can give you whatever benefits you want. Once we take over this world, even making you the lord of a province won't be an issue, "the Thousand Tendrils King tempted him.
"Really?" Li Qingshan behaved like he was interested.
"Really!" The Thousand Tendrils King waved his tendrils like a human waving his arms to increase his persuasiveness. However, he was secretly mocking them in his heart. These people from the Outer Domain are really stupid. They have a demonic heart, but they actually trust others.
Ye Duanhai pulled away from Li Qingshan and reminded him, "Li Qingshan, don't forget who you are!"
"Pavilion Master Ye, don't worry. I just want to see how much I am worth. I heard that in order to rope in the cultivators of the Nine Provinces, the Demon Region would put out a lot of good items."
Li Qingshan waved his hand and abandoned Ye Duanhai. He approached the demon cavern, arriving at the edge of the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous.
"That's right. The Demon Domain has opened its doors wide to convert people into Demons. People like you who possess a Demon Heart are even more fortunate. As the saying goes, the sea of bitterness has no bounds. Repent and you will be saved. Pick up the butcher's knife and immediately become a demon. Don't hesitate and quickly convert to the Demon Domain. I can see that your demonic nature is not weak and you will soon become a Demon King. In the future, you might even surpass me and become a Demon Emperor! "
The Thousand Tendrils King saw how tempted Li Qingshan was, so he spared no effort in persuading him. The demonic senses he gave off vaguely possessed a soul-stirring charm.
"But I don't want to be the lord of a province. Can I ask for something else?" Li Qingshan tilted his head.
"What do you want?"
"Hmm, for example, this ball of flesh!" Li Qingshan pointed his finger straight at the Thousand Tendrils King's original body.
"What did you say!" The Thousand Tendrils King said furiously.
"Heh, I can tell you're reluctant to part with it. Whatever, I'll just take it myself!" Li Qingshan smiled resplendently before suddenly widening his eyes.
The Nightmare Tiger's Demon Eyes!
A scarlet tiger appeared behind him. Its body was as large as a mountain, flickering in and out of existence. Only its eyes were extraordinarily focused, staring at the Thousand Tendrils King. Glancing past from the corner of his eye, the barren mountains fell silent. The demons were all shocked, while the weaker demonfolk felt like they had fallen into a nightmare.
The Thousand Tendrils King trembled as well, becoming slightly distracted. By the time he returned to his senses, Li Qingshan had already vanished from where he was, appearing in the centre of the formation before the demon cavern. He raised his right hand gently, and with a clang, Tiger's Fang left its sheath!
In that moment, an extremely sharp streak of light whistled through the air, cutting through the surging demonic qi in a single stroke.
Ye Duanhai was alarmed. Even among great cultivators, he ranked towards the top in speed with his sword, yet Li Qingshan had actually surpassed him. The power of the strike was even more startling!
"That's only because I've weakened the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous by a lot, but that's already extremely terrifying. He hasn't even undergone the third heavenly tribulation!"
Among daemons, the ones with the fastest speed were obviously those with feathers, and the phoenix was the god of feathers. Li Qingshan had pushed the Phoenix Transformation from the second layer to the fourth layer, which increased his speed tremendously.
Li Qingshan turned around again and produced a circular blade aura, swinging out a second time.
Wherever the blade aura reached, the twelve Demon Commanders could not even demonify in time. They were swallowed up by the blade aura and reduced to smithereens.
After what seemed like a very long time, the twelve stone pillars collapsed. The Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous had fallen!
The demonic clouds in the sky dispersed, and a crescent moon shone down on Li Qingshan. His long, scarlet hair that drifted in the air had yet to touch the ground.
Ye Duanhai finally stopped worrying. Li Qingshan had not come to submit to the demonfolk, but this was the Li Qingshan in his memories. Even when he was weak, he refused to lower his head, let alone now.
The demon qi around the demon cavern was extremely dense. Even great cultivators would feel uncomfortable if they stayed here for a while. Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath, and the demon qi surged in, channeling it into his demon heart. His demonic armour became even more resplendent.
There was not a single part of Li Qingshan that feared demon qi. The ox demon and tiger demon were demons in the first place, so the phoenix demon and spirit turtle were even less afraid of measly demon qi. The Demon Suppression Statuary directly used demon qi as a resource. To regular cultivators, this was the greatest disturbance and obstruction, but it was instead a form of assistance to him.
Li Qingshan lowered his head and took a look. Tiger's Fang had devoured the essence blood of the twelve Demon Commanders, filling up with blood-red light once more. With a flip of his wrist, the blade rose up into the air. A streak of light rushed into the sky, directly towards the Thousand Tendrils King in the air!
"You're also a daemon demon, so why do you become a lackey of humans and oppose us demons?" The Thousand Tendrils King suddenly discovered that he had completely underestimated Li Qingshan's strength. He did not need to undergo the third heavenly tribulation. He was already a Demon King right now, and he had to sacrifice over a dozen more tentacles to block the streak of light.
"Bastard, don't put me on the same level as you!"
Tiger's Fang in Li Qingshan's hand conveniently recovered its blood-red light. It became even more bloodthirsty and thirsty. It was not as precious as the Sea-splitting sword. It did not care whether it was the corrupted blood of demonfolk or not. As long as it was blood, it was fine. It was not picky at all.
"What a blade!" Li Qingshan praised. Although he had used Tiger's Fang plenty of times in the past, it would usually only be three strikes. After three strikes, it would no longer be of much use, and he would even have to expend his own blood. Only now did it truly unleash its wonders. Enemies with huge bodies and powerful regenerative abilities were basically the best targets for him to test his blade on.
Shrill whistles rang out by his ears. The tentacles danced about madly, lashing towards Li Qingshan like long whips.
Li Qingshan laughed aloud. He stood still and did not move at all.
A hundred streaks of blade aura shot out like a hundred flowers. When the tentacles fell in, they seemed to enter a meat grinder, being ground to pieces. Demon blood poured down, sucked clean in the air.
Every streak of blade aura sucked the demon blood as it cut through the tentacles, allowing him to instantly recover. He swung his blade even faster than usual, actually seeming like he had swung out a hundred times at the same time. Moreover, every single strike was even more powerful than Ye Duanhai's sword Qi. As a result, the Thousand Tendrils King was unable to approach him even though he had many tentacles.
"Haha, I really should use the blade!"
Li Qingshan's blade style still had traces of the path of the sword in the beginning, but they gradually vanished completely. He unleashed them as he wished, moving freely and freely.
As Ye Duanhai recovered his strength, he sighed in amazement inside. This kid already seemed extremely powerful normally, but he was even more impressive in battle. Suddenly, he thought of something and warned, "Be careful!"
The Thousand Tendrils King, who had been hovering in the air without moving the entire time, suddenly smashed towards Li Qingshan's head with a speed that did not match his colossal body. A huge eye opened up on the ball of flesh. It was completely blood-red, interweaving into strange demonic patterns. It stared at Li Qingshan and radiated with powerful demonic intent.
Li Qingshan paused, and a thousand tentacles swarmed down, drowning him out. In that instant, rocks flew everywhere, and the barren mountain shook violently!
I've been too careless! How can a Demon King be so easy to deal with? Ye Duanhai had suffered from this move before, so he was constantly on guard. He dared not use his full strength. He drew his sword and was about to lend a hand when a metallic hum suddenly rang out from the entangling tentacles. "Nice ball!"
Li Qingshan's figure expanded, turning into a towering daemon. He broke free from the tentacles and unfurled his pitch-black, iron-like arms, grabbing the falling ball of flesh firmly and hefting it on his shoulders.
Boom! Li Qingshan's feet sank in. The barren mountain seemed to turn into a small slope, immediately collapsing. Li Qingshan's waist bent down, and the sound of metal twisting rang out from his bones.
However, he possessed the Strength of the Earth. His strength came from the ground and was endless. He held off the Thousand Tendrils King firmly.
After the Thousand Tendrils King's tentacles were severed, they would always regrow very quickly, wrapping around Li Qingshan layer by layer to kill him. The sharp barbs pierced through his skin, injecting the venom of the Demon domain.
Ye Duanhai glanced around and suddenly discovered a beautiful woman in simple clothes had appeared above the Thousand Tendrils King at a certain time. Even he had almost failed to sense her. She was not just concealing her presence. Instead, she had no presence at all, like a piece of withered wood.
Pale-white flames burned in the depths of Little Ann's clear eyes. She held a shiny, white bone sword in her hand.
"That sword!" With his sharp understanding of the path of the sword, Ye Duanhai immediately sensed that the sword in Little Ann's hand was different. It did not give off a particularly sharp aura, but it made him feel a sense of fear for some reason. He could not allow that sword to harm him!
Little Ann swung the sword casually without any presence at all, as if she was writing or painting. Not only had she studied the buddhist dharma with the Divine Nun of the South Sea over a decade ago, but she had also completely comprehended and fused the path of the sword from the Cursive Sword Calligraphy, which even left a great sword cultivator like Ye Duanhai in amazement.
The Buddha Slaying sword stabbed into the Thousand Tendrils King's body. Compared to his colossal body, it was only equivalent to a thin needle, and the wound was no different from the eye of a needle.
"Argh!" The Thousand Tendrils King let out a miserable cry. With his regenerative abilities, even if Ye Duanhai and Li Qingshan slashed him, they would not be able to harm him, much less behave like this.
However, after receiving a gentle strike from Little Ann, he was like a punctured balloon, rapidly withering away. Demon blood and demon qi sprayed out from the tiny "eye of a needle".
