Chapter 89 [Jiaozhu] Duel between Chen Lian and Lingzhu

Chen Lian had difficulty breathing, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked pitiful, so Mo Linyu let go of his hand.

He picked up the white jade stone on the shelf behind him and put it in. Shen Lian immediately felt a chill, and then Mo Linyu rode on him.

…………

Chen Lian lay powerlessly on the ground. He looked at A Jiang on the other side of the mirror, watching silently, watching him being bullied, listening to Mo Linyu scolding him for being shameless, saying no with his mouth but being honest with his body, and not looking like a decent cultivator at all. He scolded him for being a bitch, scolding him for being so handsome but being born to be raped by others, born to be used as a furnace, and to open his legs to serve others.

Ajiang remained indifferent from beginning to end, and he was still hoping that Ajiang could save him. They had been affectionate before, and Ajiang would certainly not watch others insult him like this. But now Ajiang is still looking at his helpless appearance on the other side of the mirror, looking at it indifferently, as if he was really a shared furnace that everyone can ride on.

Perhaps A Jiang and Mo Linyu had already colluded with each other and wanted to train him into a furnace to improve their own cultivation.

Chen Lian was lying on the ground with only a piece of cloth covering his body. He put the clothes on himself and looked at himself in the mirror.

Just when his feelings were at their peak, Mo Linyu had him face this mirror. He had begged Ajahn to save him, but instead received a harsher punishment. Ajahn simply glanced at him and vanished. The mirror still held lingering Yang energy. He watched the person in the mirror, watching Ajahn slowly emerge.

Shen Lian grabbed the sides of the mirror and asked, "Why?"

"You don't deserve all the good things in this world. You were born unworthy. That's why your life will be switched. You'll become a bastard, wandering around, and you won't die a good death in the end."

The anger in Chen Lian's heart rose little by little with A Jiang's words, and then the golden light between his eyebrows slowly appeared, and little by little turned into dust and dissipated in the air.

Then, A Jiang in the mirror smiled contemptuously, turned into a ball of black smoke, and merged into the center of Shen Lian's eyebrows.

Chen Lian suddenly felt a splitting headache, especially between his eyebrows, as if a bug had drilled into it. He covered his head, the pain was unbearable. When he woke up, he was back on the reef. His eyes no longer needed to use magic breath to turn red.

He stood up and felt that his strength was completely different from before, as if a powerful energy was flowing in his body, making him feel both excited and scared.

Shen Lian tried to concentrate, and he found he could sense tiny changes in his surroundings, even the sound of waves crashing against the rocks in the distance. He stretched out his hand, palm facing upward, and a crimson flame danced in his palm. This flame was the same color as his eyes, filled with a dangerous aura.

This is the power he has always dreamed of, the power that can help him defeat Yan Ru, the power that can help him become the overlord of the Three Realms.

It was completely dark all around, with no light visible. In this vast ocean, only the fire in his hand illuminated the things around him.

He put out the fire, closed his eyes, and left with a "whoosh".

At the same time, in the real world, A Jiang was suffering from the thunder from the sky, and he was silently chanting in his heart.

Seventy-seven...

Seventy-eight...

Seventy-nine...

He only needs two more steps to ascend to heaven, cultivate immortal bones, and purify the mermaid pearl.

He wanted to use the immortal bone to save Chen Lian. Without the immortal bone, he would soon die and could no longer protect his people, so he kept a backup plan - using the purified spirit pearl to guard the West Sea.

But he himself had lost his immortal bones and the mermaid pearl, so he was about to die. However, before he died, he tied the marriage contract that bound him and Shen Lian to the mermaid pearl, so that even if he died, Shen Lian would not be implicated, and Shen Lian could live for a long time.

Let him do this one last thing for Shen Lian.

eighty……

One more thing left...

Ah Jiang was covered in blood, and every part of his body was covered in blood, but he was wearing a black robe, so to others, the bleeding was just caused by the rain.

Just one more move, and he could save Chen Lian. His heart suddenly became clear, as if the first eighty moves hadn't hurt at all. One more move, another, another...

Unfortunately, he couldn't wait for the last thunder.

His heart suddenly felt empty, and a large amount of blood flowed into his mouth and spurted out. He looked down and found that the sword that pierced his chest was Shen Lian's Wan Gu Sword.

This sword pierced his heart. Fortunately, he didn't leave the mermaid pearl here. He...

He was speechless, his mind was blank, and the thunder stopped without a sound. Instead, all the major immortal sects who were looking at him frowned.

According to Yan Ru, all the major sects knew that Lingzhu had a way to fight against Shen Lian. That was after A Jiang ascended to become an immortal and took the immortal bones to create a physical body.

The major immortal sects did not really believe Yan Ru. After all, they all knew that A Jiang beside Chen Lian was a demon. Not to mention that they would never be able to become immortals until they died, how could a demon with turbid demonic energy like a demon become immortal?

However, they also did not want Chen Lian to take the position of Demon Lord. Chen Lian had a great reputation in the world of cultivation, and they all knew it well. If Chen Lian went crazy one day and demanded not only demon slaves but also human slaves, how could they defeat him?

Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Lian's cultivation had not yet reached a leap, they encircled and suppressed him as soon as possible. So they conspired with Yan Ru to attack the demon world. They saw A Jiang triggering thunder from the sky, intending to become an immortal after going through the tribulation. Only then did they believe Yan Ru's words.

But now——

"What should we do?" Everyone was in a panic. "Where is the goddess?"

They looked around and found that the goddess was fighting with a huge python. They were so scared that they didn't care about A Jiang. They hurried forward to help. After all, it didn't matter if A Jiang was gone, but without the goddess, they would have no bargaining chip to fight against Shen Lian.

They stopped staring at A Jiang, and Shen Lian appeared. The love in his eyes when he looked at A Jiang was gone, and he became cruel and vicious. He wanted A Jiang to die, so he did not show mercy in this sword strike.

"A Lian..." A Jiang looked at Chen Lian's figure and stretched out his hand to Chen Lian. Because his mouth was full of blood, his pronunciation was not very clear.

Chen Lian walked up to A Jiang and looked at him with injuries all over his body without a trace of sympathy. He laughed in anger, grasped the hilt of the sword, turned the Wan Gu Sword counterclockwise and then turned it back.

Ah Jiang was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound. He already had injuries from the thunder, and with this added to his injuries, his vision became a little blurry, but he still held on.

"Ah Lian..."

Chen Lian curled the corners of his mouth and pulled out the Wan Gu Sword. In an instant, blood foam splashed onto his face, but he didn't care and didn't wipe it off. He just let A Jiang's blood leave marks on his face. This seemed to give him a sense of pleasure in revenge.

"Don't call me that, it's disgusting!"

"What's wrong with you..." Ah Jiang resisted the urge to fall asleep. He stepped forward and grabbed Chen Lian's shoulders. "Why did you become like this..."

Although Chen Lian had been possessed by the devil a long time ago, the feeling he gave to A Jiang this time was different from before. In the past, even if the devil's aura was overbearing, Chen Lian's expression would not change.

Lingzhu told him that Shenlian had Lingzhu's heart-protecting meridian in her body, so Shenlian would not be possessed by the devil. Lingzhu said that he and the goddess would rescue Shenlian, but why did Shenlian become even more possessed by the devil?

"So what if it turned out like this?" Chen Lian shook off A Jiang's hand. "Isn't it because of you that I became like this?!" Chen Lian roared, "You betrayed me. You wanted to turn me into a furnace for others to enjoy. On what basis?!"

A Jiang couldn't understand how he could turn Chen Lian into a furnace. He loved Chen Lian so much that he held her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of her melting. He wished he could worship Chen Lian and serve her day and night.

"No... I don't... I love you..."

"What merit or ability do I have to deserve your love?" Chen Lian sneered. He would no longer believe anyone who said they loved him. From now on, he would only trust himself. As for A Jiang, she was a demon who deserved death. She had lived by his side for so long, and it was time for her to die.

A Jiang shook his head. He stepped forward again, but was knocked several meters away by the sword energy swung by Shen Lian.

"It's time for you to die!" Chen Lian put his hands together in the air, with the Ten Thousand Bone Sword in front of his palms. He pushed the Ten Thousand Bone Sword out with force, completely piercing A Jiang's heart.

Before Ajahn had time to think, his life had already dissipated into the three realms.

Chen Lian watched A Jiang's body disappearing bit by bit. He didn't feel any pleasure in his heart. Instead, his heart ached slightly. He endured the pain and turned his back.

The strong don't need feelings. Besides, Ajahn Du had already treated him like that and betrayed their feelings. Why should he be heartbroken?

"Shen Lian——"

Chen Lian turned around and saw A Jiang's blood-soaked body hanging in the air, with golden light in his eyes. He raised two fingers and placed them in front of his chest, with golden light also shining on his fingertips. There were golden spiritual energy fluctuations around him.

Chen Lian knew it wasn't A Jiang, because A Jiang was already dead. He felt lost, and for some reason, he desperately wanted A Jiang to come back to him, to tell him he was wrong, that he wouldn't do it again, and that he would love himself well. But it was done, and he had killed A Jiang, reduced to ashes, unable to even be reincarnated. They wouldn't continue their past relationship, and he would no longer have any weaknesses, no one could easily plot against him or take advantage of him.

"Don't be confused by your mind—" The voice echoed hundreds of miles away.

Lingzhu knew what was happening in the outside world, so it followed the fluctuations of Shenlian and Wangu Sword and entered Ajiang's body.

Ajiang was dead and his body had dissipated. He could not maintain Ajiang's physical form and had to fight quickly.

"Are you Lingzhu?" Chen Lian was very disdainful of Lingzhu. How could a thing from the Demon Abyss be qualified to teach him a lesson?

"Your mind has been controlled by an alien. This is not your original intention. If you keep making mistakes like this, no one can save you—"

"I don't need anyone to save me! If it weren't for you, how could I have encountered this? You all deserve to die!!"

Lingzhu shook her head helplessly, stretched out her hand, and emitted golden threads to tie up Shen Lian.

"No—" Lingzhu said.
