"Don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!" Seeing that Li Ze was thinking for too long, Ji Lin got angry and reached out to grab Li Ze's shoulder.
Whoosh—
Two flying swords came at Ji Lin, but Ji Lin didn't even glance at them. With a flick of his sleeve, the flying swords were knocked away and veered off course.
At the same time, Li Ze also launched an attack.
The two sides clashed again. Li Ze was in charge of facing the enemy head-on, while the others were responsible for throwing magical artifacts. After throwing out the high-grade artifacts, they would throw out the mid-grade artifacts, and after that, they would throw out the low-grade artifacts. If the quality was not enough, they would make up for it with quantity.
Although these magical artifacts could not seriously injure Ji Lin, they did pose a certain obstacle to him.
Ji Lin was furious. If he hadn't been so unstable in his cultivation and seriously injured, he wouldn't have been toyed with by a few Nascent Soul cultivators!
An angry Ji Lin unleashed his Nascent Soul stage aura over Li Ze and the others, silencing the entire scene.
Ji Lin glanced at Li Ze and said, "No rush. I'll go kill those grasshoppers first, and then I'll deal with you."
Li Ze trembled all over, his teeth chattering, and his mind felt as if it were being squeezed by a giant hand, as if it were about to explode at any moment.
There is a major realm between the Nascent Soul stage and the Out-of-Body stage. He had absolutely no power to resist the Out-of-Body stage.
Li Ze watched helplessly as Ji Lin walked towards Mo Xingjue and the others. Unfortunately, the first person Ji Lin was going to attack was none other than Mo Xingjue.
“The Little Demon has saved you several times, which shows how much he values you. If I were to kill you, do you think he would willingly come with me?” Ji Lin said with a wicked smile.
Mo Xingjue pressed his lips tightly together, his sharp gaze fixed on Ji Lin, the hatred in his chest making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
This is the person who killed Aze!
It's him!
Now he wants to separate himself from Aze, which is absolutely despicable!
Mo Xingjue's anger grew stronger and stronger, reaching its peak in an instant. At this moment, only one sentence remained in his mind—he had to kill this person!
"ah--"
The furious howl, like that of a wild beast, startled Li Ze and the others present, raising goosebumps on their skin. What happened next completely overturned everyone's understanding of the Nascent Soul stage.
Mo Xingjue, who had been unable to move, suddenly sprang up and slammed into Ji Lin with the force of a thunderbolt.
Ji Lin hadn't expected the other party to still be able to move. Caught off guard, he was hit squarely. With a thud, Ji Lin took two steps back, and Mo Xingjue also took two steps back, collapsing to the ground with a thud.
Ji Lin's expression changed, filled with nothing but icy coldness. "You're courting death!"
The moment the Thousand Peaks Blade was raised, the winds and clouds of this entire world changed color.
"Ji Lin, I promise you!" Li Ze shouted, his heart breaking as he watched the Thousand Yue Blade about to fall on Mo Xingjue's head.
"Too late!" Ji Lin sneered, while simultaneously intensifying the pressure of his divine sense on Li Ze. Watching Li Ze's body, which had just stood up, crash heavily to the ground again, he laughed even more heartily. "Open your eyes and see clearly!"
Ji Lin deliberately slowed down the speed at which the Thousand Peaks Blade fell, as if this would double Li Ze's pain.
With the heavy broadsword just inches from Mo Xingjue's head, Li Ze's heart nearly exploded. "No—"
In a flash, the void twisted, and a long sword flew out from the void first, blocking the falling broadsword.
The next moment, an old man with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, emerged from the void. Upon seeing the old man, Li Ze collapsed to the ground, his mind filled with only one thought: they were saved.
"Out-of-body stage!" Ji Lin frowned, glanced at Li Ze unwillingly, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Having emerged from the void, Elder Chi disregarded the situation of Mo Xingjue and the others and immediately gave chase.
Ji Lin left, and the pressure of his divine sense dissipated. The people, now free, collapsed to the ground, their first action being to take out pills and swallow them.
Mo Xingjue crawled towards Li Ze, checked him over from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Mo Xingjue asked.
Li Ze shook his head, said nothing, sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state. The dense baleful energy made his body swell and ache, and he urgently needed to dissipate it.
Seeing this, Mo Xingjue stopped bothering him and instead stood guard in front of Li Ze.
"Xingjue, just now Demon King Ji Lin said that your fellow Daoist Li Ze, he, is a demon?" Gu Chongjin stared directly at Mo Xingjue, his expression complicated, showing disapproval, incomprehension, and a hint of wariness.
Mo Xingjue did not answer directly, but instead drew his sword, pointing the tip at Gu Chongjin and the others.
"Mo Xingjue, what do you mean?" Yu Zhuo said angrily.
Mo Xingjue's eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth. "It means nothing. Anyone who injures Li Ze shall die!"
"Mo Xingjue, you're going to kill us for a demon?" Yu Zhuo asked incredulously.
"If you don't harm Li Ze, we can still be friends." In other words, if you harm Li Ze, we will be your enemies.
Mo Xingjue's unfinished words were understood by everyone present. Their expressions turned extremely ugly; the senior disciple of Fengyang Sect had actually threatened to kill them for the sake of a demon!
Utterly ridiculous!
For millions of years, they had never heard of it.
"When you said that, did you think about your Fengyang Sect's Sect Master and Ancestor?" Gu Chongjin questioned sharply. "Aren't you afraid that the Fengyang Sect's millennia-old reputation will be ruined in your hands?"
“Li Ze has been kind to our Fengyang Sect.” Mo Xingjue said firmly, “He would not harm the innocent. On the contrary, he has saved many people. He is different from other demons.”
"That's now, not in the future. As his demonic nature grows stronger, I'm afraid the first person he'll kill will be you!" Yu Zhuo sneered at Mo Xingjue's naivety. Before this, it was rumored that Mo Xingjue cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, becoming heartless and devoid of love. Therefore, he had countless suitors, but he was never seen to be kind to any of them.
But who would have thought that Mo Xingjue was not only affectionate, but also a romantic, and that he would put himself in a hopeless situation for the sake of a demon.
To talk about love with a demon? He must be out of his mind!
But the mentally ill person remained obstinate, swearing, "Aze won't."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhuo laughed in anger, "You're hopeless."
"Time will tell." Mo Xingjue knew that saying more was pointless and they wouldn't believe him anyway, so he would just wait and see.
“Xingjue, even if we don’t attack you, the cultivators in the cultivation world will not tolerate you. Have you thought this through?” Gu Chongjin said earnestly.
For the sake of a demon, he went from being revered by everyone to being despised by everyone, bearing the stigma of being blinded by lust and unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Is it worth it?
"Bring it on, let them come." At this moment, Mo Xing was fearless. At worst, he and Aze would go to the mortal realm, to the deep mountains and forests. Once Aze had avenged his great grudge, they would find a way to return to the interstellar world.
The interstellar space makes no distinction between humans and demons; it can accommodate both.
