He stopped where Shi Chan had just stood, slowly sheathed his dagger, and stared at Liuli coldly, saying, "Aren't you divine beasts allied with my demon race? What do you mean by protecting this monk?"
Liuli remained silent, her mind racing. After a moment, she said in a deep voice, "I will kill this monk myself, so there's no need for you to do it, senior. You just need to kill those two Taoists over there."
It was clear that the Demon God's almost tangible face darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "You divine beasts have allied with my demon race, yet you still protect a righteous monk. Does this mean you are plotting against my demon race behind the scenes? Hmph, I will kill you too!"
For a demon god who has killed countless people, killing one more Liuli is just a piece of cake. He doesn't care about or know the relationship between Li Molin and Liuli. He only believes in killing the wrong person rather than letting one go, and will nip any potential threat to the demon race in the bud.
Upon hearing this, Liuli's expression changed, but she still held onto Shichan's wrist tightly, protecting him behind her, showing no intention of handing him over just to save her own life.
Shi Chan panicked and struggled against Liuli's hand, saying anxiously, "Miss, please let go of this humble monk!"
Liuli gripped Shichan's wrist tightly and said coldly, "Monk, shut up!"
Amidst his anxiety and worry for Liuli, Shichan was deeply moved. Looking at the slender figure firmly protecting him behind him, he suddenly felt...
For this woman who wholeheartedly protects him, for this woman he loves with all his heart, he can give up Buddha, give up the idea of saving all sentient beings, and even give up the whole world.

What is the most painful thing in life? Is it loving someone deeply but having to be their enemy?
What's even more painful is that, in order to protect the world you've sworn to protect since childhood, and to uphold justice and protect all living beings in this world, you must kill the man you love most...
In the ruins of the city of gods and demons, a battle continues. The two combatants are deeply in love with each other and show mercy several times, but neither is willing to give up the fight.
The current situation has driven Liu Lingying to the brink of despair. No matter how reluctant she is to kill Li Gan, she has no choice but to take action.
Only when Li Gan dies can the portal to the Chi You Banner, opened through him, be closed. At that time, the eighty-one demon spirits will be unable to rely on the magic power of the Chi You Banner to establish themselves in this world and will have to return to the Chi You Banner. Only then can the righteous side win this battle and avoid a crushing defeat despite using the Thunderfire Calamity.
The dazzling silver light reflected on Liu Lingying's calm face. Her hand, held in front of her chest, changed sword gestures one after another. A silver flying sword flew back and forth rapidly, splitting into thousands of pieces, rushing towards Li Gan like a rain of clouds.
Li Gan wielded his spear, easily deflecting each flying sword with ease. He seemed to still have the strength to retaliate against Liu Lingying, but he simply didn't.
In reality, Li Gan's cultivation level was at the late stage of Demon Lord, while Liu Lingying had only just stepped into the Void Transformation Realm. Even though Li Gan had exhausted all his demonic power by opening the gate of the Chi You Banner and releasing the essence of eighty-one demon gods, and had only recovered 50% of his demonic power after taking the pill, it was still not something Liu Lingying could defeat.
At that moment, Liu Lingying's flying sword was once again blocked by Li Gan's spear. She gritted her teeth, her toes lightly stepping on the ground, leaving a mysterious footprint. Her hands formed a complex hand seal and she suddenly swung them. Centered on her and Li Gan, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had been turbulent due to the thunder and fire tribulation, suddenly gathered within a radius of over a hundred feet. Together with the Taoist spiritual energy emanating from Liu Lingying's hands, it transformed into a large patch of violent azure light, sweeping across like a storm and abruptly surrounding the still-unresponsive Li Gan.
The next moment, from within the azure light that was about ten zhang wide and firmly encircled Li Gan, sharp sword light and violent lightning suddenly appeared and attacked Li Gan in a chaotic manner.
The ball of light imprisoned Li Gan's body, preventing him from flying out. He could only use his cloak to emit a blood-red light to protect himself, barely managing to stabilize his body amidst the onslaught of sword energy and lightning that lashed at him like a storm.
Liu Lingying looked at Li Gan inside the ball of light with complicated emotions. She made a sword gesture with her right hand and the silver flying sword streaked across the light like a meteor, instantly rushing into the ball of light with its tip aimed directly at Li Gan's brow.
Li Gan ultimately didn't take the fight with Liu Lingying too seriously. He was caught off guard and trapped by the blue light, unable to move under the attack of sword energy and lightning. The flying sword was infused with Liu Lingying's spiritual power, making it extremely sharp. Even though Li Gan's Blood Shadow Cloak could mitigate some of the flying sword's power, it couldn't save Li Gan's life.
The flying sword was too fast, getting closer and closer to Li Gan, but suddenly stopped just inches away from his brow. The sword energy was cold, almost touching his brow.
He looked at Liu Lingying through the silver light of his flying sword and the blue light around him, a slight smile playing on his lips.
