"What?"
The elders in the sky were astonished.
Even they hadn't expected Li Bai to be so fast.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Kun was injured.
They wanted to go down and rescue Wang Kun.
However, they were already shrouded in the killing intent of the Dawn Saint Demon and could hardly protect themselves.
They could only watch helplessly as Li Taibai, dressed in white, wounded Wang Kun and then walked step by step toward him.
A moment later, Gu Jian arrived in front of Wang Kun.
He reached out and grabbed Wang Kun by the face, lifting him up as well.
The hand, imbued with the power of ten thousand dragons, slowly tightened its grip, almost crushing Wang Kun's head, and said, "Who gave you the audacity to touch my people? Hmm?"
Having lived two lives, Qiao Xi'er was one of the few people who had ever given Gu Jian warmth.
Trust others when they don't trust them.
Be there for him and take care of him during his lowest point.
Like the only fire lit for him in a drafty cabin on a cold winter night.
Having been given a second chance at life, Gu Jian would not allow anyone to harm her.
At that moment, the murderous intent in Gu Jian's eyes terrified Wang Kun so much that he wet himself.
Wang Kun had never fought Li Taibai before, but at this moment, he also felt that Li Taibai's strength and power were far beyond what he could contend with.
Without the protection of elders and guardians, death is the only outcome.
Feeling the increasingly terrifying force gripping his face, fearing he would be killed at any moment, Wang Kun could no longer care about his dignity as the young master of the Spirit Control Sect. His voice trembled as he begged Gu Jian for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Don't kill me!"
"Li Taibai, I apologize to Qiao Xi'er, please don't kill me."
"Too late!"
Gu Jian said something and tightened his grip.
With a loud bang, Wang Kun's head was crushed.
Brain matter splattered everywhere!
An aura of enlightenment emanated from Wang Kun.
Gu Jian knew that it belonged to Wang Kun's soul.
Immediately, he coldly ordered, "Xiao Jiu, burn his soul!"
Ugh!
Speeding like lightning.
The Nine-Lives Fox Demon transformed into a beam of light and burst out of the demon chariot. Then, it spat out a mouthful of flames towards Wang Kun's corpse and soul!
With a loud bang, Wang Kun's body burst into flames.
Even his soul was burned to ashes in an instant.
"Young Master!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the experts from the Spirit Control Sect in the sky were filled with rage.
Their young master, the successor of the Spirit Control Sect, was killed by the demonic cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
Both body and soul were destroyed!
Their souls were burned, leaving them no chance of reincarnation.
"Li Taibai, how dare you kill my young master!"
"My Spirit Control Sect will be your sworn enemy!"
"Li Bai, you're dead!"
“My sect leader will definitely avenge our young master. Even if you are the strategist of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, it will be of no use. You are doomed to die.”
Gu Jian looked up at the sky.
Through Wang Kun's words, he also understood that these were people who were planning to kill him.
Gu Jian smiled and said, "I don't know if I'll live or die, but I know you're all going to die."
After saying that, Gu Jian ordered, "Xiao Jiu, go help Nawa and eliminate them all."
Waaaaah!
The Nine-Lives Fox Demon nodded, leaped into the air, and flew into the sky.
Her agile body moved with lightning speed.
Clusters of sacred flames continuously emerged from the fox's mouth.
One by one, the powerful figures from the Spirit Control Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Qian Yuan Sect screamed and fell to their deaths.
[You, the Nine-Lives Fox Demon, killed an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Reincarnation Realm, absorbed 400 Longevity Points!]
[You, the Nine-Lives Fox Demon, killed Elder Qian Yuan. Nirvana Realm, absorbed 700 Longevity Points!]
[You commanded the Nine-Lives Fox Demon to kill an elder of the Spirit Control Sect. Supreme Realm, you have absorbed 1300 Longevity Values!]
[...]
Inside the Immortal Demon Palace, a series of messages flashed by once again.
Gu Jian's longevity value increased rapidly.
Gu Jian glanced at her and then walked towards Qiao Xi'er.
Qiao Xi'er stared blankly at the newcomer, then asked, "Are you... Brother Gu Jian?"
On the demon chariot, Hua Mudan was somewhat surprised.
This woman's name is Li Taibai Gu Jian.
Just kidding, how could Li Bai possibly be Gu Jian?
Gu Jian looked at Qiao Xi'er and smiled, "I'm not."
Qiao Xi'er was slightly taken aback.
Although he denied it, Qiao Xi'er knew from his familiar smile that he was the one.
For a moment, Qiao Xi'er couldn't understand why her brother Gu Jian wouldn't acknowledge her identity.
But soon, she realized something and felt a pang of regret.
She looked at Gu Jian and whispered, "Excuse me, Brother Gu Jian, can I hug you?"
Gu Jian was slightly surprised; it seemed that Qiao Xi'er had already recognized him.
In her past life, Qiao Xi'er had made this request more than once, wanting to hug him.
But he rejected her every time.
In his past life, he only loved Su Mengyao.
Gu Jian consciously adhered to the so-called male virtues.
Knowing that Qiao Xi'er had feelings for him, he deliberately kept his distance from her and never touched her hand.
In this life, Gu Jian and Su Mengyao have no connection whatsoever.
As a demonic cultivator, he is not bound by any rules.
He would no longer refuse Qiao Xi'er's request.
"OK."
Gu Jian spoke.
Qiao Xi'er trembled, threw herself into Gu Jian's arms, and then began to sob.
Qiao Xi'er didn't understand why she was crying.
She felt she should be happy.
She had been rejected by Gu Jian so many times, but now he was finally willing to let her hug him.
