In that instant, it is undeniable that Qianfo was bewildered; he was even somewhat irresistibly moved. As if possessed, Qianfo's hand reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife, his eyes still drifting and unfocused.
Slowly turning the hilt, the tip of the blade pointed directly at his chest, Thousand Buddha's eyes remained fixed on Crescent Moon...
"If you can't bring yourself to do it, I'll help you." Just then, Crescent Moon's eyes turned cold, and she pushed the tip of her knife towards Thousand Buddha opposite her with force.
"Damn it! You actually did it!" Although he tried to block with all his might, the blade still pierced his flesh. First came the coldness, then a piercing pain. Qianfo pushed Crescent Moon aside and pulled the blade from his body at the same time...
"Help me!" Crescent Moon cried out, quickly retreating with her feet and swinging her arms backward like a windmill.
At this moment, Qianfo suddenly realized that behind Yueya was the blood pool that was bubbling and gurgling.
Just as Crescent Moon was about to fall, Thousand Buddha reached out and grabbed her. At that moment, Crescent Moon's toes were on the edge of the pool, and her body was leaning back. If Thousand Buddha reached out, she would fall in.
But if Qianfo pulled back, perhaps they could be saved. For some unknown reason, on the verge of danger, Yueya looked at Qianfo with a cold gaze, her expression filled with hatred and gritted teeth. She said to Qianfo, "You demon in human skin, you harmed my family, destroyed my entire aquatic tribe, and now you want to harm my daughter and possess my body. I just don't understand, what kind of logic do you have? Do you think we can still be on the same side? Today, I would rather fall into the pool than be complicit with you."
"Crescent Moon, why are you doing this to yourself? Living is more important than anything else. I don't want to hurt you. I love you."
"Shut up! Do you even know what love is? You're just an incurable demon..." Crescent Moon continued to curse through gritted teeth.
"Fine! Since you're so stubborn, what use are you to me?" Though he said this, he didn't let go of Crescent Moon's hand for a moment.
"Hmph!" Just then, Crescent Moon suddenly let out a cold laugh, secretly exerted force, and pulled Thousand Buddha to jump into the pool.
"You despicable woman! You'd rather die than let me down with you!" The last shred of hope vanished. Rage surged within him, and Qianfo raised his other hand, the hilt of his sword, and slashed at Yueya's wrist…
"Ah!" Crescent Moon cried out in surprise. Her arms went limp, and she fell backward with a "plop!" into the pool of blood. Crescent Moon waved her hands and struggled for a few moments.
As her arm sank, her wide-eyed, distorted face quickly entered the blood pool. After a few gurgling sounds, the surface of the blood returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Unexpectedly, my sincerity has only been met with your ruthless destruction! Standing by the pool, Thousand Buddha's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Go!" I felt my arm being grabbed and quickly pulled behind me.
"Go back!" Then, it became clear that it was the Spirit King's voice. When Qianfo opened his eyes, he found himself back where he had been discussing cooperation with the Spirit King. The Spirit King stood opposite him, coldly observing him.
"What just happened? Did the Spirit King save me? Thousand Buddhas don't want to owe anyone a favor." The Demon King, as expected of the Demon King, quickly calmed down after his initial shock, put his hands behind his back, and coldly looked back at the Spirit King.
