No one had expected that Li Zhaohui would suddenly strike to kill Nangong Jingyun.
“Ah…”
Nangong Jingyun’s primordial spirit was pierced by the pitch-black long spear. She let out a shrill scream and roared hysterically at Li Zhaohui, “Why?”
Li Zhaohui smiled and said, “Did you think I was really a fool?”
“From the very beginning, you were deceiving me. You had no intention of eloping with me far away. Your goal was to use me to deal with that kid, obtain the treasure, and then take the opportunity to kill me.”
“Nangong Jingyun, oh Nangong Jingyun, you underestimated me too much.”
“Among the elders of the Taichu Holy Land, my cultivation is not the highest, my talent is not the strongest, yet I became the Grand Elder. Do you think it was by chance? It was because of this!”
Li Zhaohui pointed at his own head and smiled as he spoke, “I admit, you were indeed very beautiful when you were young, and even now you have considerable charm, but that does not mean I have any interest in you.”
“Think about it. With my status, position, and cultivation, what kind of beautiful woman could I not obtain?”
“Even if I wanted a beautiful woman, I would choose a young one, stunningly gorgeous, with a pure soul and body. Why would I covet an old wanton like you?”
Hearing these words, Nangong Jingyun was so enraged that her eyes bulged with blood. She wished she could tear Li Zhaohui limb from limb.
“Li Zhaohui, you bastard!”
Unexpectedly, Li Zhaohui was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, “Nangong Jingyun, actually, the one who wants to kill you is not me, but the Heavenly Venerable.”
“Before coming here, the Heavenly Venerable secretly instructed me that if you harboured disloyal intentions, I should show no mercy.”
“Do not hate me. If you must hate someone, hate the Heavenly Venerable.”
Li Zhaohui thought to himself, “Heavenly Venerable, you can carry this blame for me.”
Nangong Jingyun roared in fury, “Wuji Heavenly Venerable, may you die a horrible death, hahaha…”
Suddenly, Nangong Jingyun began laughing maniacally like a madwoman, laughing until tears streamed down her face.
Li Zhaohui frowned slightly and said, “Nangong Jingyun, do you have any last words?”
Nangong Jingyun stopped laughing and said, “To think that I, Nangong Jingyun, have dominated my entire life, toying with countless men in the palm of my hand, yet in the end, I fall at the hands of a man. Hehe…”
A desolate smile appeared on Nangong Jingyun’s face as she continued, “Li Zhaohui, this is my fate. I accept it.”
“Since we were once allies, I will remind you to beware of the Heavenly Venerable.”
“The Heavenly Venerable is ruthless and heartless. In the future, when you deal with him…”
“Why would I deal with him in the future?” Li Zhaohui interrupted Nangong Jingyun and said, “After you die, I will seize the treasures from that kid.”
“As for the Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, although she is a fox, her beauty is unparalleled and quite moves my heart.”
“As long as the Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom submits to me, what harm is there in betraying the human race?”
Nangong Jingyun suddenly understood and said, “I see. You have taken a fancy to that wicked beast, which is why you are willing to abandon me.”
“You are wrong. I am not abandoning you. I despise you!” Li Zhaohui said with disgust, “Who in the cultivation world does not know of your promiscuous reputation? You are nothing but a slut who has been with any man.”
To kill and then twist the knife in the heart.
Nangong Jingyun was so infuriated that she vomited blood incessantly.
“Enough. I have wasted enough words on you. It is time for you to depart.” Li Zhaohui prepared to withdraw the pitch-black long spear.
“Wait.” Nangong Jingyun said venomously, “Li Zhaohui, that wicked beast is at the Saint realm. After you kill me, you alone will not be her match. You are doomed.”
Li Zhaohui replied, “You need not concern yourself with what comes next. Just go peacefully.”
With that, Li Zhaohui pulled out the pitch-black long spear. With a “boom”, Nangong Jingyun’s primordial spirit exploded into a bloody mist.
Immediately afterwards, thunder rumbled from the ninth heaven, winds rose and clouds surged, and a torrential blood rain poured down.
This was the phenomenon of a Saint’s fall.
Li Zhaohui ignored the anomaly. Holding the pitch-black long spear, he stood in the void, looked at the little white fox, and said with a chuckle, “Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, I have helped you eliminate a powerful enemy. Should you not thank me?”
“You only need to agree to two conditions.”
“First, I can spare Ye Changsheng’s life, but he must hand over the treasures he obtained from the Mountain of Immortality.”
“Second, you become my pet slave, never betraying me for all eternity.”
“What do you say?”
A pet slave meant a combination of pet and slave. Once bound, the master could do anything to the pet slave, who would have no dignity whatsoever.
The little white fox’s eyes filled with killing intent. Before she could speak, Ye Qiu spoke first.
Ye Qiu pointed at Li Zhaohui and shouted, “Old fellow, stop daydreaming.”
“Even if I risk my life, I will not let the little white fox become your pet slave.”
“Give up that idea!”
Li Zhaohui’s face darkened, “You insignificant ant. If you dare speak another word, I will make sure you are reduced to ashes.”
“Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, how have you considered my two conditions?”
The little white fox said coldly, “Ye Changsheng is right. Stop dreaming.”
“I am the Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom. How could I become your pet slave?”
“Do you believe I will kill you right now?”
“Kill me?” Li Zhaohui smiled faintly, “Do you have the strength?”
Boom!
A powerful aura erupted from the little white fox. Her six tails danced wildly like divine dragons, collapsing the void. Her cold and beautiful face was filled with boundless majesty, like an empress reigning supreme.
“Enough. Stop putting on this bluff.”
Li Zhaohui showed no fear and smiled as he said, “That idiot Nangong Jingyun did not notice anything wrong with your body, but I saw it long ago.”
“Moreover, after your battle with Nangong Jingyun, you have consumed even more strength.”
“Although you appear strong now, your aura is extremely chaotic. You are no match for me at all.”
“Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, the wise know when to submit. I hope you make the most sensible choice.”
The little white fox said coldly, “My choice is to kill you.”
“You do not know what is good for you! In that case, I will beat you until you submit.” Li Zhaohui lost his patience and suddenly hurled the pitch-black long spear in his hand.
Boom!
The pitch-black long spear emitted strands of saintly light, incomparably sharp. Carrying immense momentum, it instantly reached the little white fox.
One of the little white fox’s tails shot out, attempting to block the pitch-black long spear.
However, the pitch-black long spear was unbelievably fast. It pierced her chest in an instant, passing through and emerging from her back, splashing a spray of enchanting blood.
The little white fox retreated dozens of steps in the void but still could not steady herself. She fell headfirst towards the ground.
“Little fox!”
Ye Qiu cried out in alarm. Using his movement technique that covered a hundred li in one step, he rushed forward and caught the little white fox in his arms.
Before Ye Qiu could ask about her injuries, the little white fox’s voice sounded in his ear.
“Ye Changsheng, quickly give me the Demon Refining Pot.”
