For Li Zhong, his life's purpose was simply to find an opponent who could defeat him.
Now that he has found it, he can willingly die at Su Yang's hands. Even if Su Yang doesn't kill him, he has already fulfilled his wish. However, a second wish has also arisen in his heart.
Defeat your opponent!
Li Zhong chuckled lightly: "Are you sure you don't want to kill me? If you don't, I'll only become stronger in the future, and then I'll have to settle things with you!"
Su Yang shook his head slightly: "I'm available anytime."
Li Zhong's smile gradually faded, and at the same time, his eyes were filled with a fighting spirit.
That's how the demon race is; power is their ultimate goal. When they are invincible, they seek out someone who can defeat them. If they are defeated but survive, it only motivates them to become stronger, so they can then defeat those who once defeated them.
The lives of demons are very simple, that's all.
It's either death or becoming stronger!
Shasha—
Suddenly, not long after the two had finished their battle, a dark figure appeared out of nowhere in the Forest of No Return!
She gripped a small knife in both hands, her eyes filled with hatred, and charged forward at the fastest speed she could muster. Her gaze was fixed on Li Zhong's neck, and she sprinted forward with all her might!
This person is Zhou Ke.
However, just as she approached within ten steps of Li Zhong, Su Yang grabbed her arm with one hand, and Zhou Ke's strength was immediately dissipated.
"Let go!!"
Zhou Ke turned her head angrily and stared intently at Su Yang.
Su Yang didn't speak, but with a slight exertion, Zhou Ke collapsed weakly to the ground. At the same time, the dagger was also flung away.
Zhou Ke glared at Su Yang with resentment and said, "Aren't you human? The demon race has always been humanity's greatest enemy. Why don't you kill it and rid humanity of a great scourge!"
Su Yang: "..."
Zhou Ke, her eyes red, said, "You clearly have the strength, why didn't you kill him! All my disciples are dead, all of them are dead! What use is it for you to save me!"
Su Yang's face remained expressionless.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a flash of white light in his mind, and at the same time, his heart trembled violently, and he collapsed.
What's going on?
Zhou Ke looked at Su Yang as he fell, a hint of astonishment in her eyes.
How could someone so strong suddenly collapse?
In fact, Su Yang roughly knew the reason. At this moment, the sword intent within his body had been completely drained. As for why this was the case, it was probably because the energy he had previously unleashed was originally sealed deep within his body. That shackle had sealed that energy for who knows how long, and now that it had suddenly been released, this energy that had never been used before required him to use all his sword intent to fill the energy he had previously consumed.
Even so, he could feel that the endless energy was about to drain his life force!
These side effects are too severe!
"What's wrong with him?" Zhou Ke asked nervously.
Could it be that the demon released some kind of poisonous energy that knocked him out?
"He just hasn't fully mastered the power within his body yet." At this moment, Li Zhong slowly sat up and explained simply.
Zhou Ke stared intently at Li Zhong, her resentment undiminished.
Li Zhong clearly noticed her gaze and chuckled, "I advise you to give up the idea of killing me. With your level, you are not qualified to kill me at all. Even if I am indeed in the weakest state I have been in for hundreds of years, you still cannot kill me."
Zhou Ke clenched her fists tightly.
She desperately wanted to kill Li Zhong, but now that she was a little more lucid, she realized that this demon before her couldn't be judged by her own level of understanding. Perhaps, as he said, no matter how weak he was, she couldn't possibly kill him.
After all, she had no more internal energy left, and her only dagger had been knocked away. What could she possibly use to kill?
However, Zhou Ke still glared fiercely at Li Zhong: "One day, I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"
Li Zhong chuckled lightly: "Alright, let's talk about it when you're ready to be my opponent."
At this moment, Su Yang, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his face was extremely pale, and the meridians in his body twisted and swelled before dissipating.
For Su Yang, this current state is extremely uncomfortable!
"Why are you two chatting... Li Zhong, I need to ask you a favor." Su Yang said with difficulty as he got up.
"What is it?" Li Zhong asked succinctly.
"Please take care of the people in Ziyun City for me, especially my sister." Su Yang was panting heavily as he spoke, which showed that this ordeal had taken a heavy toll on him.
Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "You want me, a demon, to take care of the people in the human territory?"
Su Yang forced a smile and said, "Of course, after all, I won this time."
Li Chong stood up, put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and said, "Very well, I respect my opponent's decision. Besides, you defeated me once, so I can help you with this. However, the period for me to look after you will not exceed one month. This is a restriction of my demon race."
Su Yang thought about it and saw no problem.
One month is fine. If the progress is fast, it should be manageable.
Seeing Su Yang's preoccupied look, Li Zhong couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do in a month?"
Su Yang plopped down on the ground, his breathing becoming regular: "I want to go to Zhongzhou."
Zhongzhou!
That was the most prosperous area in the human realm, and also the core prefecture where experts from all over the human realm were numerous. About half of the strong people in Cangzhou and other prefectures came from Zhongzhou. At the same time, the industries they developed and the cultivation methods they used were almost all from Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou can be said to be the origin of human cultivators, and also the city where martial arts are most prevalent and strength is most valued!
With Su Yang's strength, he is fully capable of matching the top combat power in Zhongzhou. After all, even Li Zhong is no match for him. His strength has already surpassed the level of the Realm Daoist. How could ordinary people be a match for Su Yang?
Li Zhong sneered: "It seems you also have something to ask for. In that case, I won't ask any more questions. I only promise to ensure the safety of Ziyun City for one month. As for what happens after that, I will not interfere."
Su Yang nodded: "Thank you."
Li Zhong's lips curled up slightly.
After resting for a while and recovering some of his demonic energy, he loosened his grip, and black wings immediately appeared behind him. In the blink of an eye, he flew into the sky.
At this moment, the dawn light gradually illuminated the horizon.
