"Mother, stay inside the barrier and don't move." Jun Liuyue turned her head to look behind her, raised her hand to condense an array, and enveloped the dying Long Li.
Behind him, the guards swiftly charged forward, swords drawn, clearly intending to kill him with a single blow!
The demons behind the guards did not move; these were high-level demons that had developed intelligence.
Jun Liuyue looked up and slashed down with the Heaven-Asking Sword in her hand. The sharp sword energy instantly severed the heads of two of the guards.
His head, dripping with hot blood, rolled and fell in front of Jun Liuyue—
The girl stepped on the head, blood spurting out. She slowly raised her eyes, her black hair and red dress making her look like a demon emerging from hell. The Heaven-Asking Sword in her hand seemed to be the scythe of death reaping lives.
The puppet guards had no brains, only commands. In an instant, the remaining guards swarmed forward, and the aura of the Spirit Lord erupted, engulfing the girl in red. The power of thunder was enough to crush the girl in the eye of the storm into mincemeat.
Bang! The Heavenly Questioning Sword flew out of his hand, reaping heads like a scythe. In an instant, several heads fell to the ground.
Blood splattered on the girl's red dress, like the red spider lilies blooming on the banks of the River of Oblivion, fiery and alluring.
The moment the whip fell, the guards who had been pressing in front of Liu Yue were sent flying.
Heads fell to the ground.
The Netherworld Fire followed closely behind, burning away the last glimmer of hope for a comeback.
Seeing this, the demon that had been watching from the sidelines dared not underestimate Jun Liuyue any longer and slammed its claws into the ground.
They surged toward Jun Liuyue.
Upon seeing this, Long Li suddenly stood up, but was immediately pushed back down by the barrier.
The girl stood still, and if anyone had seen this, they would have thought she was terrified.
3——2——1.
The girl parted her lips slightly and silently counted to 1.
The demon was less than two meters away from her, but at that critical moment, boom! The ground exploded, and the Netherworld Karmic Fire, catching a speck of fur, clung to the demon's body like a leech... and then—
The demon was engulfed by the eerie blue flames, which illuminated the girl's beautiful oval face. Her arched eyebrows arched slightly, and her already exquisitely sculpted face, like a work of art, seemed to radiate boundless brilliance at this moment, making her so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
A faint golden light appeared behind her, and with a bang, the bodies of the five demons in front of her exploded.
The valley returned to silence, but the air was filled with a nauseating stench that Jun Liuyue disliked.
He turned to look at Long Li and withdrew the barrier.
She took out a porcelain bottle, took out the pill, and gave it to Long Li.
"I have to go back to Heavenly Realm Island," Liu Yue said firmly. The Demon King had already been released, and she didn't know if the elders of Heavenly Realm Island would stop him. But if the Demon King went to the Canglan Continent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Moon".
In her ear, she heard Long Li's gentle voice, "Don't go back."
She knew how powerful the Demon King was! It took her and Jun Jing working together to seal him away back then.
Over the years, the Demon King's strength has become far more terrifying than it was seventeen years ago.
She didn't want her daughter to take that risk; it was a matter for their generation and shouldn't be passed down to the next.
Jun Liuyue was not surprised that Long Li would stop her.
She gave Long Li a deep look: "Canglan has my family and my friends. I will not stand by and watch it fall."
If Yan Qi were to take away the Earth's core, Canglan would become a barren land devoid of spiritual energy. At that time, every blade of grass and every tree on this continent would wither and eventually turn into nothingness.
The air was completely silent.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Jun Liuyue looked up at Long Li.
Seeing the determination in Liu Yue's eyes, Long Li nodded after a long while, "Yue'er, you are your mother's pride."
Long Li's eyes were filled with heartache.
She imagined meeting Liuyue countless times.
She would rather her daughter be an ordinary person, without having to bear so much burden, than she does now.
Jun Liuyue turned and left, the sunlight shining on the girl's face, as if it were covered with a layer of golden light.
-
A chill emanated from Heavenly Realm Island as the Demon King's claws ripped through the barrier.
The formation finally gave way and shattered with a crash! Seeing this, Yan Qi leaped up and landed on the back of the Demon King.
"Hahaha, a bunch of ants. Once I reach the Earth's core, it will be too late for you to stop me. Go."
Yan Qi activated the power of the contract, manipulating the demon king beneath him.
He hadn't expected Long Li to sever the contract, but... it didn't matter anymore!
"No, don't let him get away—!"
The speaker was the Second Elder of Heavenly Realm Island, who stood at the very front of the formation, bleeding from all seven orifices.
He had been struggling to hold on, and the moment the formation broke, he fell heavily to the ground, but he immediately got up and tried to stop Yan Qi.
However, all the elders had internal and external injuries to varying degrees.
Seeing Jing Xuan leap forward, the Demon King's giant claw suddenly grabbed Jing Xuan's chest and pierced through it in an instant, causing him to fall from the sky like a rag doll.
Fresh blood sprayed down from mid-air.
"Jingxuan!"
Seeing this, Gu Yuan quickly stepped forward to catch Jing Xuan's body.
Yan Qi had no intention of letting Jing Xuan off the hook; this old man had opposed him more than once.
A sound of air being pierced—a longsword coated with poison pierced through Jingxuan's chest.
Bang! Just at the critical moment, a long sword was swung from the horizon, violently knocking Yan Qi's sword away.
The Azure Dragon roared past and caught Jing Xuan's body.
The girl in the red dress stood on the back of the Taotie, her seemingly delicate figure standing straight, blocking Yan Qi's path.
"It really is you." Yan Qi glanced coldly at Jun Liuyue.
He laughed loudly: "Long Li, Long Li! You don't know, do you? Your daughter actually died a long time ago. The person who is now occupying your daughter's body is just a lonely ghost!"
Yan Qi laughed heartily, his voice resounding in everyone's ears.
Gu Yuan, who caught Jing Xuan, looked up abruptly upon hearing this sound.
"So what?"
"Hahaha! I only feel sorry for you. Your daughter, whom you've waited so many years for, is already dead! This witch killed your real daughter, why don't you kill her?!"
Yan Qi stood atop the Demon King, looking down at everyone.
Long Li should have gone crazy upon hearing these words, but the scene he imagined did not happen.
Long Li charged straight at him.
