Chapter 45 So far, this time, the important people survived. ...
(Forty-five)
Looking at the face that looked exactly like Shen Changyi, Helan Jin pulled up a cruel smile on his lips. A mere wooden figure in the Nascent Soul stage dared to stop him.
His sword strikes were aimed straight at Xiao Huang's vital points, but he dodged by slightly leaning to the side. His sword strikes fell like a thunderstorm without mercy. Their movements were so fast that they could not be seen with the naked eye, and one could only hear the terrifying sound of the swords colliding.
Ever since Xiao Huang was damaged by the demon cultivators last time, Shen Changyi repaired him and also taught him a protective barrier that could be used to protect Li Shanglu in times of crisis, so that he could focus on getting rid of the demon cultivators.
Li Shanglu's mind was blank, and she couldn't think about anything. With trembling hands, she checked Elder Teng's injuries, pulled out a dagger, cut her sleeves into strips, and blocked the bloody hole on Elder Teng's chest with them.
Don't die.
Don't die.
She took out all the pills she had on her, frantically searched through the messy medicine bottles, and finally found medicine that could stop the bleeding.
That was the hemostatic powder that the sect leader had originally given her to prevent heavy bleeding during childbirth. It was very effective, so Li Shanglu learned how to refine a few pills herself for backup.
She stuffed the pill into Elder Teng's mouth, but he couldn't help but spit out blood. Li Shanglu tried to calm himself down and whispered, "Take the medicine! Quick, Elder, take the medicine."
Elder Teng struggled to open his eyes, looked at her, and saw Helan Jin from behind her.
He shook his head and pushed Li Shanglu with all his strength.
"Walk……"
Hearing his words, Li Shanglu's breathing became slightly choked. She suddenly leaned over and carried Elder Teng on her back.
She never wanted anyone else to die.
Just as Li Shanglu was about to take Elder Teng back to the sect, Helan Jin's nonchalant voice came from behind him.
"Shanglu, where are you going?"
She paused slightly, and soon continued walking towards the sect.
Helan Jin's eyes were extremely cold. He raised his hand and blocked Xiao Huang's sword. The sword cut his palm and drew blood, but he seemed unaware of it.
"Now that you're here, why don't you come out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several thick, ink-like magic mists rose up from all around, surrounding Li Shanglu.
Six demon cultivators.
Li Shanglu's face was pale. She had no magic power and could not see the cultivation level of those demon cultivators, but a voice deep in her bones told her that these demon cultivators must have countless lives on their hands and were extremely dangerous.
"The Lord summoned us here just to capture a little girl like this. That's a bit too cautious."
"Yes, we are demon generals after all... Your Majesty is really wasting our talents. I thought we would meet some interesting opponents."
Helan Jin handed Xiao Huang to the demon general, ignored the complaints of those idiots, and walked straight towards Li Shanglu.
His fingers were stained with blood. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her. He smiled and said, "Want to go back?"
Li Shanglu carried Elder Teng on his back, without even looking at him, and walked stubbornly towards the direction of Mingzhou Sect.
But the next moment, she was unable to move.
I tried hard to lift my boots, but I couldn't.
Helan Jin walked slowly to her side and said with a smile, "You are so smart, but you still don't understand the current situation?"
Li Shanglu's eyes gradually turned red. She finally turned her gaze to Helan Jin and uttered a few words with great difficulty, "Please."
Tears began to fall, looking so pitiful.
Helan Jin reached out to catch her tears, his eyes darkening, "Come with me, I'll let him live, how about that?"
He always liked to make exchanges with Li Shanglu.
Only this time, he mercifully made an exchange that brought him no benefit at all.
Hearing this, Li Shanglu turned around. Mingzhu Mountain was clearly within reach, yet it seemed out of reach.
Xiao Huang was still fighting with those demon generals, but those demon generals were several times stronger than the previous demon cultivators. It had no way of defeating them. His body was covered with sword marks. He was brutally tortured by the group of demon cultivators and finally fell to the ground, broken into pieces and unrecognizable.
"My Lord, the spirit soul has been obtained."
Li Shanglu looked at Xiao Huang on the ground numbly.
Even after its soul was taken away, the barrier used to protect her still emitted a faint glow.
Helan Jin responded calmly, then turned to look at Li Shanglu, "Have you thought it through?"
She was silent for a moment, then nodded and handed the seriously injured Elder Teng to him.
Helan Jin casually assigned a demon cultivator to escort Elder Teng back to the sect safely, then extended his hand to Li Shanglu, "Let's go, Shanglu."
She lowered her eyes and slowly walked towards Helan Jin.
The moment he approached the other party, Li Shanglu instantly took out a dagger and stabbed him.
But this time, Helan Jin actually penetrated the barrier and grabbed her wrist. His hand was covered with an ancient spell, and Shen Changyi's barrier had no reaction to him.
"Again." He reluctantly increased his strength, causing Li Shanglu to release the poisoned dagger in pain. "Didn't I teach you not to use the same move twice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shanglu suddenly pulled out the silver Taoist hairpin from his head and stabbed it towards his neck.
Helan Jin's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned his body almost instinctively. The hairpin scratched the side of his face, leaving a conspicuous blood mark.
So cruel.
He laughed out loud, "It's a shame you don't become a demon cultivator."
Li Shanglu grabbed the hairpin and stabbed at him again and again, but Helan Jin dodged them all easily.
He grabbed her wrist and pinched her face with his other hand. Helan Jin said calmly, "Okay, that's enough."
"My Lord, Shen Changyi will be back soon." A demon cultivator said.
Helan Jin responded casually, pulling Li Shanglu into his arms. "Have you ever been to the Demon Palace? Let me show you around."
His tone was still so familiar, as if they could still go shopping, have fun and play together.
Despair was overwhelming. Li Shanglu had never felt so helpless. In front of these evil cultivators, she could easily pinch and crush them like weeds.
No matter how angry you are, it's useless and can't change anything. You can only watch these demons do whatever they want.
Why do demon cultivators exist in this world? When will these demons be wiped out?
"If you want revenge, why don't you just kill me?" She finally spoke, her voice hoarse.
Helan Jin leaned over to look at her and whispered, "What are you thinking about? Are you wondering if I really like you?"
Li Shanglu stared at him solemnly, "Isn't it?"
Hearing this, Helan Jin chuckled softly, then quickly realized that she was just trying to stall for time while waiting for someone. He simply stopped talking about this topic and turned to the demon generals, whispering, "Let's go."
Maybe there was a little in the past, but that was only because he had taken over the body of a mortal. Now he has returned to the body of a demon cultivator, and the seven emotions and six desires that only mortals have are nothing but a burden to him.
Now Helan Jin just wanted to take her back and use her as a bargaining chip to restrain Shen Changyi, that's all.
"My Lord!"
Suddenly, a demon cultivator shouted in fear.
Helan Jin frowned slightly and followed his gaze.
A long sword came through the air and pierced Helan Jin's heart accurately. The huge impact nailed him to the ground. Li Shanglu in his arms was caught off guard and was thrown away and fell to the ground.
Blood spurted out of his mouth, and Helan Jin barely propped himself up and met a pair of eyes filled with fierce anger.
His expression changed drastically, and the hatred and fear that penetrated deep into his bones surged up. He could even feel his soul trembling.
"What are you still standing there for? Stop him!" Helan Jin roared angrily. He didn't expect this man to come back so soon.
Those demon generals who had signed a blood pact of life and death with him had no choice but to stand in front of Helan Jin.
The long sword seemed to have self-awareness and flew away from Helan Jin's heart, taking out a piece of flesh and blood. Li Shanglu looked at it in shock, his eyes following the long sword.
The sword fell into his palm, and a familiar figure in snow-white clothes shook off the thick blood on the sword and walked slowly towards him.
The sky and the earth were suddenly covered by thunderclouds, and heavy rain poured down without warning, washing away the pool of blood on the ground.
Li Shanglu's breathing became increasingly rapid. She raised her head and watched the other person walk to her and reach out to help her up.
Elder Teng was seriously injured and in critical condition. Xiao Huang was torn to pieces by the group of demon cultivators, and she was almost taken by Helan Jin to the Demon Palace full of demon cultivators.
Li Shanglu had a lot of things she wanted to say, but when she looked at his face, her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't utter a single word.
"Phytolacca."
"Hold the child."
Hearing this, Li Shanglu took the small persimmon and small orange from his arms with trembling hands. Their warm little bodies slowly calmed her panicked heart.
Those demon cultivators surrounded him. Li Shanglufang wanted to remind him that those people were very powerful, but the next moment, she saw the cold sword filled with murderous intent chop off the demon cultivator's head.
One, two... In just a moment, all the demon generals fell to the ground and their bodies were separated.
This is the only true immortal who has come down to earth here.
The desperate roars and pleas for mercy from the demon cultivators frightened the child in her arms and made him cry. She quickly covered the cubs' ears.
Not long after, the sword pierced Helan Jin's heart again.
Helan Jin was completely unable to move. The pain made his eyes bloodshot. The sword that was wrapped in the purest and most positive spiritual energy made it impossible for him to recover from his injuries.
He raised his head and saw Shen Changyi looking down at him with an indifferent expression.
"really."
really?
Helan Jin didn't know what he was talking about. He just wanted to get his soul out of this body as soon as possible so that he could find another container to take over.
He couldn't die. As long as he could escape, he would definitely be able to...
Just as the soul was about to leave the body, Shen Changyi swung his sword without hesitation, turning his body and the soul into ashes.
The world returned to dead silence, but the rainstorm continued to fall tirelessly. From then on, there was no more Helan Jin.
Shen Changyi silently sheathed his sword.
Sure enough, it was the remnant soul of the Demon Lord who had escaped from his hands that year.
Indeed, he shouldn't have let Shang Lu remarry anyone.
If the men in this world are not worthy of him, then no one is worthy of Shang Lu.
*
It was three days later when Elder Teng woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Changyi and Li Shanglu sitting in front of his couch, surrounded by a circle of Danfeng disciples.
Seeing him wake up, his disciples covered their faces and cried loudly.
Li Shanglu stared at him straight, pursed his lips, and his eyes were red.
"Silly girl," Elder Teng reached out and touched her head, "Where is my sausage?"
"I almost lost my life, why should I care about that damn sausage!" Li Shanglu burst into tears and threw the bundle of sausages at the head of his bed in anger.
Elder Teng raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and choked up, "Luckily I found it. This sausage was made by my sister-in-law herself. You can't buy it outside... It's not in vain that I accepted you as my silly disciple."
The scene of Li Shanglu stubbornly carrying him towards the sect gate emerged in Elder Teng's mind, and he burst into tears.
Good disciple, what a good disciple.
No one knows why Helan Jin's sword avoided Elder Teng's vital points, allowing Elder Teng to survive.
Perhaps during the three years that man took over another human body and became a mortal, he was not as cruel and ruthless as he thought.
Li Shanglu didn't want to know the answer.
She only knew that this time, the important people survived.
