Chapter 14: Devoting oneself to the Great Devil
The black robe moved without wind, and the red spider lilies embroidered on the hem seemed to bloom in the blood.
Tan Tai Lie's face was grim, his fingers tightly gripping Elder Yuqing's neck. The demonic energy around him transformed into nine pitch-black chains that broke out of the ground and instantly pierced through the bluestone slabs of the martial arts field.
The pale paper-like palm precisely grasped Elder Yuqing's throat, and the knuckles had blue-black veins due to the force.
"Since Baichuan has already admitted defeat, why are you trying to kill him? Do you think my Tianmo Sect is empty-handed?"
He lowered his eyes and stared at Elder Yuqing's eyeballs that were bulging due to suffocation. The curve of his lips was cold enough to break the ice. His thumb gently rolled over the other's Adam's apple, and the chain suddenly tightened, causing the ground to crack.
The disciples who were watching the battle from afar were shocked to realize that the murderous intent in the eyes of the Demon Sect Leader was three times more terrifying than the legend - it was a coldness that could freeze the nine netherworlds.
Baichuan lay on the ground, watching the back of his leader being dyed black by the demonic energy. In a trance, he remembered that when the Demon Lord first ascended the throne twenty years ago, he also twisted the neck of the traitor in such a calm manner.
Elder Yuqing kicked his feet off the ground and made a strange gurgling sound in his throat, but when he glanced at Dan Tai Lie's exposed wrist, he saw black lines appearing on it and spreading upwards.
Upon seeing this scene, Elder Yuqing's pupils suddenly shrank into needle-like shapes!
That was a divine punishment only possessed by the Nine Yin Absolute Veins, known only to the core elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Once the black lines spread to the heart, Tan Tai Lie would surely die.
He seemed to have discovered Tan Tai Lie's fatal weakness. Just as he was about to spread the news, he felt a strong suction force.
In an instant, his entire cheeks shriveled and sunken, and all the blood and flesh in his body were sucked dry. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a dried corpse.
Tan Tai Lie threw it on the ground like garbage.
Seeing this scene, Baichuan fell to the side, holding his chest. He knew very well that Tan Tai Lie was very scary now.
At this moment, the system exclaimed: [It's bad! The big devil has gone crazy! ]
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun recalled the day when he first entered the book and there were mummies everywhere. Those mummies were once the living beings of the Northern Beggar Gang.
Tang Xiaoyun asked anxiously: [What should we do now?]
The system pondered for a moment and said, "Last time, I was able to suppress my demonic energy after sleeping with you. Otherwise, you...?"
[It's already this late, and you're still thinking of betraying me? ]
He really wanted to grab the system, pry open its head and see what the structure inside was.
Just as he hesitated, Yue Tianxiao on the other side shouted, "The devil has gone crazy. Everyone, come together and kill him!"
At once, the nine sect leaders pounced on Tan Tai Lie at the same time.
Seeing Tang Xiaoyun still standing there motionless, the system reminded him: [Host, let me remind you, if the big devil really dies, you will be trapped here forever and unable to return if you fail to complete the mission.]
Tang Xiaoyun didn't believe it: [Don't frame me. In the original text, the big villain was supposed to die.]
Do you really think he hasn't read the original text?
System: [The original text is indeed like this, but because the host arbitrarily tampered with the plot, the ending is no longer like that.]
Tang Xiaoyun asked tentatively: [So?]
System: [So, if the big villain dies before you complete the mission, it means the mission has failed.]
Tang Xiaoyun exploded: "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
system:……
At this moment, the nine people who besieged Tan Tai Lie were all injured, covering their chests and spitting out blood. After all, Tan Tai Lie was in a violent state now, and he didn't recognize any relatives. Anyone who got close to him would die.
"Even the nine of them combined can't defeat the big devil. How can I save him?" Tang Xiaoyun paced back and forth in the stands anxiously. The longer he delayed, the more dangerous his situation would become.
At this time, the system reminded: [Host, someone is coming towards you.]
What?
Tang Xiaoyun turned his head and saw several disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect walking towards him with grim expressions, holding long swords and hemp ropes in their hands.
This is obviously not a good thing.
Now everyone is busy with their own affairs and no one can protect him.
Tang Xiaoyun looked at the furious Tan Tai Lie, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself, "Whatever, today is my chance, let's fight it out!"
After saying that, he jumped off the stands and rushed to Tan Tai Lie, grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously: "Big devil, wake up quickly, I don't want to die yet, wake up quickly!"
After saying that, he raised his hand, his palm trembling slightly, and patted Tan Tai Lie's cheek.
At this moment, the thick demonic energy surged like ink, dyeing the whites of Tan Tai Lie's eyes completely black. His dark pupils had no focus, as if his soul had been dragged into an endless abyss by the devil.
When Tan Tai Lie was slapped on the face, his brows furrowed fiercely. His face, which was already gloomy due to the raging demonic energy, now looked even more displeased.
He turned his head slowly like a machine, staring at Tang Xiaoyun without any emotion. Then, a slender but cold hand suddenly stretched out and accurately strangled Tang Xiaoyun's neck.
"You...are looking for death..."
Tan Tai Lie's voice squeezed out from his throat, as if it came from the underworld, and it was icy cold to the bone.
Tang Xiaoyun's neck was strangled, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. The air in his lungs seemed to be sucked out, and his chest heaved violently.
He opened his eyes wide and tried desperately to pry open Tan Tai Lie's fingers, but the hand was like an iron clamp and did not move at all.
He thought to himself, this is over, this is completely over.
Just as Tang Xiaoyun struggled hard to break free from Tan Tai Lie's grip, Cang Yan, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, suddenly grabbed the fallen sword and rushed towards Tan Tai Lie who had his back to him.
Tang Xiaoyun's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw this scene: [I'm going, and I'm coming back?!]
[System help! ! ]
System: [Understood!]
The next second, Tang Xiaoyun and Tan Tai Lie switched positions, and the sword that was supposed to pierce Tan Tai Lie's body sank into Tang Xiaoyun's body instead.
“Puff!”
The sound of flesh being pierced was heard, and a line of blood sprayed on Tan Tai Lie's face.
The long sword pierced Tang Xiaoyun's abdomen directly. He forgot to cry out in pain and cursed at the system with gritted teeth: [You... son of a bitch, I asked you to... save me, you...]
Before he could finish his words, Tang Xiaoyun fainted from the pain.
The blood that sprayed on Tan Tai Lie's face was all absorbed by the evil spirit. The big devil, who was originally in a violent state, gradually returned to normal after absorbing Tang Xiaoyun's blood.
When Tan Tai Lie regained consciousness and saw the scene clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He let go of Tang Xiaoyun's neck and hugged him in his arms. Then he used the Star Absorbing Technique to suck Cang Yan in front of him.
His tone was cold and gloomy: "If you dare to hurt him, you are seeking death!"
In an instant, Cangyan's flesh and blood shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning him into a mummy.
Then he threw Cang Yan's body in front of the remaining eight people, and said in a cold and gloomy tone: "If you don't want to die, get out now!"
The eight people were already scared out of their wits. Not only did their carefully planned plan fail, but now even the leader of the Quanzhen Sect was dead. If they didn't leave, they would suffer the same fate.
The eight people looked at each other and immediately scattered with their disciples.
Tan Tai Lie picked up the unconscious Tang Xiaoyun and leaped into a cave in the mountain behind Jiuyaotai. He then shouted, "System, come out!"
