Gongyuan opened her eyes and gazed at his tall, scarred figure. For some reason, her heart ached, feeling both relieved and wronged. She was almost tempted to cry.
Li Qingshan turned around and grinned at her. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"You're too slow!" Gongyuan grumbled.
Suddenly, the Bone Eating Shaman King's headless body leapt backwards rapidly. As if he had been expecting this, Li Qingshan casually pressed his palm against his chest without even looking back, making his way towards Gongyuan.
The Bone Eating Shaman King retreated and roared out resentfully, "Li Qingshan, you- this- no!"
Black cracks spread out like a spiderweb, reaching the surrounding space. His body was like the cracked earth. The demon heart hidden deep in his body shattered under the tremors. He died completely!
Boom!
The power the Bone Eating Shaman King had accumulated over a millennia after devouring countless lives immediately swept through the entire demon cavern. The Demon Kings all paled in shock, retreating and defending.
"Watermirror's Image!"
A smooth mirror appeared behind Li Qingshan. As soon as the terrifying power from the demon heart's explosion came into contact with the mirror, it was reflected back, colliding with the incoming power afterwards and forming a perfect defence.
When the mirror shattered, only the fierce wind ruffled his scarlet hair, but the Demon Kings' encirclement was cut off. Only two Demon Kings remained before him. His eyes narrowed, and his mind was as still as water. Everything was going according to plan.
From the beginning till the end, he did not give off any aura or murderousness. If he closed his eyes, he would basically forget about his existence. Even though he seemed extremely feeble and exhausted, it only left the Demon Kings even more shocked. Even someone like him could kill the Bone Eating Shaman King casually. Was he purposefully acting weak?
In fact, Li Qingshan's condition was even worse than what the Demon Kings had imagined. He had just gone through a life and death struggle with the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, so he didn't have any time to recuperate and recover. He didn't even have the time to familiarize himself with his new divine art before he had to fight seven Demon Kings. It was extremely dangerous. If he didn't take the initiative and break their encirclement, he would be in danger of dying.
But fortunately, the Heavenly Tribulation wasn't for nothing. The power of the saber and palm wasn't all that powerful. After becoming a Daemon King, his power had increased substantially, and he could completely control the power of the Ox Demon Transformation and the Tiger Demon Transformation.
In the past, he was just a strong and healthy child who often swung his saber and slashed randomly. Although the appearance of flesh and blood flying everywhere was terrifying, who knew how many times it would take to slash an enemy. Now that he had finally grown up, even if he was very weak, a single dagger was enough to kill him!
Coupled with the fact that he could suddenly injure someone, which was why he could kill the Bone Eating Shaman King so easily. However, after blocking the explosion of the demon heart, he had become even weaker right now, and this was a demon cavern. It was far away from the ground, surrounded by space, so the Strength of the Earth could not be used. However, all he did was maintain his composure, holding on purely through his willpower.
"Stop right there. Do you want her to die?" The Meditative Brain King unleashed a terrifying aura, threatening Li Qingshan. His consciousness turned into invisible hands, ripping at souls and shaking people's minds.
A smear of pain appeared in Gongyuan's eyes. She gritted her teeth. "Don't … worry about me … kill … them!"
Li Qingshan frowned and glanced at the Meditative Brain King angrily, but he did not stop.
Gongyuan suddenly felt her mind ease up. The Meditative Brain King's control had suddenly vanished, and she raised her head in confusion. Every single fold of the Meditative Brain King that resembled a brain trembled.
The Meditative Brain King originally wanted to use fear to stun Li Qingshan's mind and use Gongyuan to threaten him. However, he sensed even greater and deeper fear from Li Qingshan's Eye of the Tiger Demon. A clash of willpower like this had always been the most dangerous, so he immediately suffered an intense backlash!
"Meditative Brain King, what are you doing?" A sharp, ear-piercing voice rang out from the black thorns around Gongyuan. "Li Qingshan, do you still recognise me? I'll kill her first, and then you'll be next! "
Thousands of black thorns surged over like the tide, filling Li Qingshan's vision.
"It's King Blackthorn!"
As he sighed emotionally, he unfurled his glorious wings. The wind danced and the flames blazed. He swung his blade without the slightest hesitation and rushed into the forest of thorns, arriving before Gongyuan and embracing her firmly. This was already the last of his strength.
In the next moment, the thorns wrapped around him firmly, piercing his skin and sucking away his flesh and blood to suppress his daemon qi!
"If that's the case, why did you come back?" Gongyuan blinked her eyes. How could she not sense his current feebleness? Just walking over to her had already put him in life-threatening danger.
"I've said it before. If you want to kill you, you'll have to step over my dead body first!" Li Qingshan smiled.
"Don't misunderstand. I don't mean anything by that!" Gongyuan suddenly raised her head and kissed him on the lips.
The black thorns turned into a huge, black cocoon, and the four Demon Kings who had been forced back by the demon heart explosion surrounded them again.
"Don't be frightened by him. He seems to have only undergone the third heavenly tribulation recently. Even if he has some tricks up his sleeve, he's just a spent force. He can't put up any resistance now that he's landed in my Black Thorn forest!"
King Blackthorn let out a complacent laugh. Actually, he had been frightened by Li Qingshan's stance earlier too. Only after probing him a little did he discover that was all. It was all thanks to that idiot, the Bone Eating King. Now that he had rendered a great service, he would definitely receive Evil God Qiongqi's favour.
The Demon Kings looked at one another. They never expected this to be the final outcome. The Bone Eating Shaman King had gone to great lengths, only to lose his life. Instead, this King Blackthorn benefited from it.
The Meditative Brain King recovered from the backlash and said frantically, "Blackthorn, q- kill them!"
"Meditative Brain King, what I, King Blackthorn, do is not something you can tell me. Evil God Qiongqi might want to live!" King Blackthorn said. Not only did he not want to, but he was also afraid.
Without the Meditative Brain King's control, Gongyuan was completely capable of choosing to commit suicide calmly. Even if the Meditative Brain King took action, he could only control one of them at most. He was not stupid enough to force them to die with him. Instead, he planned on leaving them with a sliver of hope, taking them back to the Demon domain and offering them to Evil God Qiongqi.
The Meditative Brain King reverted to his original form. His face was sunken, and he dove into the Demon domain without even looking back, as if he was running away from something.
In the cocoon of thorns, Li Qingshan widened his eyes at first before smiling. He lowered his head and kissed her deeply. Their blood flowed and mingled, but they were completely unaware of it. It was like they had forgotten everything around them, even when they were in dire straits and on the brink of death.
Their minds were connected like never before. Apart from her tongue that was as soft as water, what Li Qingshan tasted greedily was an icy-cold sphere that revolved in their mouths, releasing strands of the cold and profound power of Ruin's End.
That's right, it was the Heart of the Abyss. She had swallowed it and hidden it away.
With this as a foundation, she connected with the distant Ruin's End. The Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression and All Water to Ruin's End began circulating at full strength at the same time, supporting and benefiting one another.
