Chapter 43 The suffocating feeling of control from the scorching kiss completely enveloped her...
The cold moonlight poured in from the dilapidated door, wrapped in the cool evening breeze, and a scarlet figure flashed into the house.
With a flip of his wrist, several rays of white light shattered the black shadow that was entangled with Shen Wenji.
Xie Yunqing stepped in front of Shen Wenji, shielding her behind him. He raised his palm slightly, and a thick, cloud-patterned cloak materialized. Carrying his own cold plum scent, it gently draped over her shoulders, covering the ripped collar of her dress.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply. His gaze swept across her blood-stained bra. His Adam's apple rolled and his eyes were filled with rage.
Although he was filled with fear, he maintained a calm demeanor when facing her, saying with soothing force, "Sorry, I'm late."
Shen Wenji looked at his tall figure and the familiar and reassuring aura surrounding him, and his extremely tense nerves finally relaxed.
She shook her head and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Su Tengyue's expression changed drastically when she first saw Xie Yunqing appear. Now, seeing the two of them being so intimate, oblivious to the world around them, she was furious. She shouted, "Xie Yunqing, stop meddling in other people's business. Don't forget the deal we made."
The demonic energy in her body surged wildly, her arms stretched out, and the remaining black shadows once again condensed into several ferocious demonic hands, hovering in the air, ready to strike.
"If you leave now, I will pretend that this incident never happened. I will spare your life, and I will also explain to the Demon Lord."
Xie Yunqing raised his arm and blocked Shen Wenji with his sword. He didn't move an inch and sneered, "Just you?"
The sword hummed, spiritual power surged like a tide, sword light appeared, and the black shadow dissipated.
Shen Wenji subconsciously wanted to step forward to help, but was firmly covered by Xie Yunqing's solid spiritual power shield.
Xie Yunqing's voice was hoarse. "Don't come out. Her forbidden magic will absorb the spiritual energy of the enemy, exhausting the immortals, and even boosting her abilities. Your spiritual power has not recovered yet, and coming in will only become her nourishment. Just stay here and leave this to me."
Shen Wenji slapped the spiritual power protection shield hard, confused. If the immortal would be counterattacked by absorbing spiritual power, then what chance would Xie Yunqing have of winning?
He is also a cultivator... His spiritual power is even more intense than hers. Wouldn't the backlash be greater?
But since Xie Yunqing dared to fight, Shen Wenji knew from her understanding of him that he would definitely be able to win. Even though she was extremely anxious, she still stayed in the protective shield and did not break the restriction without permission.
The two men outside had already exchanged several moves. In the early stage, Xie Yunqing was indeed at an advantage, chopping the black shadow's claws so hard that they had no time to replicate and regenerate. But just as Xie Yunqing said, the spiritual power in his body was gradually being absorbed by the spreading black demonic energy.
The longer time dragged on, the more at ease Su Tengyue became, and there was a hint of a comeback.
Su Tengyue's lips curled up into a smug smile: "Of course I can't beat you, but my Golden Bell Secret Technique can. Since you want to be a desperate couple, then I will grant your wish."
"Golden Bell Secret Technique?" Xie Yunqing sneered, mockingly saying, "It's just a replica made with the Tianque Bell. Do you demons really think it's a treasure?"
Is the golden bell actually related to the sacred object of the Hehuan Sect? What exactly does this mean? Shen Wenji pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
"Stop talking nonsense here. You will be convinced by the result soon." Su Tengyue's eyes were filled with anger. This Xie Yunqing was just as annoying as ever. Except for his good looks, everything else about him was not good!
"Okay, I'll wait and see." Xie Yunqing raised his eyebrows, his voice calm and light, and raised his hand to wipe away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his lips due to the exhaustion of spiritual power.
Shen Wenji frowned and stared closely at the two people outside. He mobilized his spiritual power in his palms and was ready to break the protective shield and rush to rescue at any time.
Just by seeing with her own eyes, she knew that Xie Yunqing's condition was not good, and his actual situation might be even worse than what she saw.
If she went out and fought hard, she could at least delay some time. When she entered the abandoned house, she sent a message to the Hehuan Sect. If she was lucky, she could be rescued before her life was in danger.
Her heart was gripped tightly, but when she saw Xie Yunqing's relaxed look, she suddenly didn't know whether he was really confident or just pretending to be calm.
Su Tengyue was completely enraged by Xie Yunqing's attitude. The speed at which she formed seals with her hands suddenly increased, and the demonic energy around her was so thick that it seemed like it was about to explode out of her body.
"Xie Yunqing, do you really think I dare not touch you?" She said sternly, thrusting her palm forward, and surging demonic energy rushed towards Xie Yunqing, "Today I will let you taste the feeling of being drained of spiritual power and becoming completely useless."
Xie Yunqing did not dodge or evade, allowing the evil energy to rush towards him.
The thick, dark demonic energy instantly engulfed Xie Yunqing. No human figure could be seen in the black fog, let alone his specific situation.
Shen Wenji was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else and raised his hand to break through the protective shield.
She used her spiritual power to push back Su Tengyue, who was approaching, and called out anxiously, "Xie Yunqing! How are you?"
No one answered. She was about to step forward, but the next second, thick demonic energy in front of her formed a vortex, and the huge force made her unable to stand steadily.
A figure slowly rose from the demonic energy, and an endless supply of demonic energy poured into his body, becoming one with him.
This… this? How could Xie Yunqing absorb demonic energy? Was he possessed?
Shen Wenji's heart was in a mess. She tried to use her spiritual sense to explore Xie Yunqing's body, but was blocked by the demonic energy and almost suffered a backlash.
Xie Yunqing seemed to have sensed her intentions and acquiesced to her right to approach him, saying in a voice transmission, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Shen Wenji didn't believe it, and stubbornly used his spiritual sense to explore, and found that the veins in his body were full of demonic energy, which continued to spread and occupied his entire body, as if it was naturally produced from his body.
This is definitely not something that would occur if one went astray in a short period of time. She had only seen it in orthodox demon cultivators.
The look she gave Xie Yunqing became complicated. The chief disciple of the Tianxuan Sect not only possessed a demon pill, but was also a demon cultivator? This was too absurd and ridiculous. Shen Wenji began to doubt her judgment.
He had completely absorbed all the demonic energy surrounding Xie Yunqing. He slowly raised his hand holding the longsword, and the blade drew a cold arc in the moonlight. He whispered a few words in his throat: "It's my turn now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword flew out of his hand and hit the magic hand controlled by Su Tengyue. Those monsters disappeared in an instant.
The sword went straight in, cut through the golden bell on Su Tengyue's wrist, and returned to Xie Yunqing with the golden bell.
Xie Yunqing took the golden bell and shook it lightly with his fingertips. All the evil spirits in the room began to surge towards him, and the evil spirits on Su Tengyue's body also began to roll and transfer.
After just a short while, she fell to the ground in agony, and most of her demonic energy had dissipated.
For the demons, demonic energy is their lifeblood, and its importance is equal to the spiritual energy of immortals.
"Impossible." Su Tengyue screamed, her face pale as paper. She raised her embarrassed head in disbelief and asked, "How could you absorb the demonic energy?"
"Aren't you a cultivator?" she murmured to herself, "Could it be that you are of demonic blood?"
Xie Yunqing had no time to answer her questions. All his moves were lethal. His voice was cold: "If you have any questions, go to the underworld and ask."
"I remember I warned you not to touch her."
It goes without saying who she is referring to.
Su Tengyue frowned and said in panic: "You can't kill me. You are cooperating with our demon clan. I am the demon clan saint."
Xie Yunqing glanced at her with a cold face, without saying a word, his palm turned upwards, and in his palm was a sinister and evil energy that was enough to be fatal.
Su Tengyue swallowed nervously, her voice trembling: "I know the inside story of Tianque Bell, I know their plan, as long as you don't kill me, I can tell you."
"The people of the demon clan always tell lies, I don't bother to listen to them." Xie Yunqing was unmoved. It was obvious that this condition could not impress him.
Seeing him approaching, Su Tengyue shouted: "Wait!"
"I have the Tianque Bell on me. If you let me go, I will give it to you."
Shen Wenji, who was standing aside, raised her eyes instantly upon hearing this. This was a good opportunity for her to get the Tianque Bell back.
Seeing Shen Wenji beside him showing interest, Xie Yunqing paused what he was doing.
He pretended to be interested, half squatted down, looked at Su Tengyue from top to bottom, and asked with a smirk, "Where is it? Bring it here."
Su Tengyue suppressed her expression and tried to plead quietly: "Thank you, OP..."
As soon as this name came out, Xie Yunqing immediately raised his hand and grabbed her neck. In a corner where Shen Wenji couldn't see, he raised his eyes gloomily and said with a smile: "Saint Su, please understand your position and know what to say... what not to say, otherwise even the Tianque Bell can't save your life."
Shen Wenji was startled by Xie Yunqing's sudden action. She didn't hear Su Tengyue say anything to provoke him. She just felt that there seemed to be some story between the two of them, or that he was hiding something from her.
She leaned in to watch calmly, pursed her lips, and made no comment.
Su Tengyue struggled and shook her head, trying to ensure that she would not say anything nonsense.
Xie Yunqing threw her to the ground, wiped his palms, and said: "It seems that you have no chance to bargain. Hand over the Tianque Bell, and I will consider letting you go."
Su Tengyue's eyes moved, she lowered her eyebrows and said weakly: "Okay..."
Then, her movements began to become slower and slower. It took her a long time just to stand up, and then she slowly took out the storage bag.
Xie Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that she wanted to deliberately delay time. Although he didn't know her purpose, given the insidious and vicious nature of the demons, it would definitely not be a good thing.
He placed his sword on Su Tengyue's neck and urged her impatiently, "Hurry up."
Su Tengyue silently counted down in her mind, and at the moment the last number fell, she threw the Tianque Bell towards Shen Wenji.
Shen Wenji was stunned. He didn't expect that she would give it to him. He quickly reached out to take it and checked it carefully. Su Tengyue did not lie to them. It was the real Tianque Bell.
What she didn't expect was that a heavy groan suddenly came from her ears, and with a "clang", the sword in Xie Yunqing's hand fell out of his hand.
He half-knelt on the ground in agony, holding his head with both hands, and looked not in good condition.
Su Tengyue took this opportunity to roll and crawl to the corner, which was the escape route she had prepared for herself, a teleportation channel leading to the demon world.
Shen Wenji had no intention of stopping him. She was very worried about Xie Yunqing's condition, afraid that he was suffering from the backlash of demonic energy, or that he had suffered some internal injuries.
She knelt down in front of him without hesitation, raised her hand to hold his drooping cheek, and asked anxiously: "Xie Yunqing, are you okay?"
When Xie Yunqing heard the familiar voice, he raised his head in a daze, his face flushed abnormally, his blurred eyes glued to Shen Wenji, and his Adam's apple kept rolling.
In his current state… Shen Wenji seemed to have thought of something, and she looked up and glanced around.
Sure enough, she saw that the Hehuan Sect's incense that Su Tengyue had designed for her to use was burning slowly not far away. She had extinguished the incense when she broke the formation before.
Su Tengyue must have deliberately rekindled her fever during the fight just now, waiting for Xie Yunqing's medicine to take effect and buy her time to escape.
Xie Yunqing's eyes were out of focus, and he felt an instinctive heat running through his limbs. The surging demonic energy in his body made him impulsive and confused.
As soon as Shen Wenji called out his name, Xie Yunqing grabbed the wrist that was supporting his face tightly, with such force that it hurt.
He didn't say anything, but heavy breathing rolled through his throat, and a burning kiss fell on Shen Wenji's lips.
It was not a gentle lingering, but a brutal crushing. Her breath was squeezed out until there was not a trace left. The force between his lips and teeth almost crushed her breath.
Xie Yunqing clasped his hand on the back of her neck, and with the other hand he held her waist, pulling her into his arms and making her follow his kiss without allowing her to retreat.
Even when Shen Wenji turned his head to avoid and try to breathe, he was forcefully pulled back by his thumb, leaving only the burning sensation on his lips.
Shen Wenji had never seen Xie Yunqing like this before, and the suffocating feeling of control completely enveloped her.
