Chapter 23 Jiuyi City (Part 7) You're disgusting
Just as the two forces were about to settle down and each return to its place, something soft suddenly pressed against Wu Xiutang's lips.
The moment their lips touched, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he froze on the spot.
The girl's kisses were sweet and soft, and when her tongue moistened his lips with a touch that wasn't exactly gentle, the savage force that belonged only to her made his already calmed pulse startle strangely again.
What made his blood boil was the unfamiliar, sweet scent of the girl who took advantage of his momentary daze. She boldly pried open his lips and explored inside, skillfully stirring and exchanging fluids. She even felt that this was not enough, so she tightly hugged Wu Xiutang's neck and deepened the kiss.
Wu Xiutang was suffocating. Two forces within him were surging as if they were about to burst him apart. The tree trunk was collapsing continuously, and he was at risk of being buried at any moment. Meanwhile, the woman in front of him was choking him and forcibly kissing him.
It's utterly incomprehensible no matter how you look at it.
But gradually, as he swallowed the sweet and pungent blood, the two forces within his body, which had been clashing, slowly merged. It was as if a powerful, adhesive substance forcibly bound them together, rendering them unable to focus on killing him. This adhesive substance, after kneading the two together like dough, transformed into a new, softer, and warmer power that slowly spread across his barren and damaged spiritual realm, attempting to repair his broken soul.
Sensing that the girl in front of him meant no harm, Wu Xiutang gradually lowered his hand that was in mid-air.
Sensing that the resistance had disappeared, Shi Xianxue became even more unrestrained. Having never been in a relationship, she had no idea how to kiss, and only knew to suck fiercely on him with her instincts, suppressing his unconsciously struggling tongue, and then using the tip of her tongue to deliver blood. She didn't know when to stop, so she kissed him until his tongue went numb and her breath became disordered—and then she received a response.
Shi Xianxue was pushed away violently.
Wu Xiutang's eyelashes were wet, and his lips were rosy and glistening with an ambiguous sheen. It was clear that he had been brutally violated. He couldn't breathe properly, and he could even clearly hear his own breathing during the kiss, which was heavy and rapid.
He was completely clueless about such intimate matters, while Shi Xianxue acted like a seasoned lover, skillfully controlling him. He suddenly realized what was happening, and the tender feelings in his heart gradually faded away.
Wu Xiutang's face turned pale. Compared to the impulse to kill her last time, this time he felt a strange anger. He naturally didn't show it, so he rubbed his lips hard with the back of his hand: "You're disgusting!"
This was Shi Xianxue's first kiss. If he had cooperated obediently, would she have had to make such a sacrifice? Now look what happened! Not only did she not receive gratitude for saving him, but she was also called disgusting.
Shi Xianxue's lips were glistening as she said angrily, "If I weren't trying to save you, would I have sacrificed so much? Besides, wasn't it you who had a mouth and was trying to seduce me? If you didn't have a mouth, how could I kiss you?"
Wu Xiutang: "..."
Wu Xiutang: "You damned woman, once I get out of here I'll definitely..."
Shi Xianxue rubbed her lips, her narrowed gaze drifting downwards, finally landing on his lower abdomen. "You're going to really give me a good beating? Wu Xiutang, I'm not trying to be mean, but you can't even kiss properly, and you have the nerve to say something like that to me."
"you!"
The tree trunk emitted a loud rumbling sound and cracked again, spitting Song Qingshu and the others out. Li Fuchao reacted quickly, throwing the Xuanhe Sword at the crack before landing to prevent it from closing.
However, no one expected the crack to be so powerful. They rushed forward to help, but the light at the crack grew dimmer and dimmer until darkness covered everyone's faces.
The Xuanhe Sword flew back to Li Fuchao's hand automatically.
Wu Xiutang glared at her fiercely, then quickly lowered his eyes and pretended to be injured and weak.
The group could only observe their surroundings first. When they saw the bloodstains on Wu Xiutang and the other person, they were all shocked. Song Qingshu quickly took out some pills from her waist and handed them to the two of them: "We rushed over when we saw the lantern tree acting strangely, but we couldn't find a way in... These pills will be good for your injuries. Take them first."
Since it was Song Qingshu's good intention, Wu Xiutang did not want to refuse, even though these pills would have little effect.
He thanked him weakly.
Zhou Zheyue was the first to check on Shi Xianxue's condition, but Wu Xiutang was clearly more seriously injured. She looked like a well-protected silkworm, with a few scattered scabs on her forehead, but the wound was no longer visible. On the other hand, Wu Gongzi... it seems that the two of them are truly deeply in love and their love is as firm as a rock.
He was deeply moved by the affection between the two, but fearing that Shishi might be suffering from internal injuries, he asked, "Shishi, are you really alright?"
Shi Xianxue also found it strange. She had clearly been whipped several times by the lantern woman, but she felt as if the force was just tickling her, and she couldn't feel any pain on her back.
Just as Li Fuchao was about to say something, the tree shook more and more violently, as if it would collapse completely at any moment. The demonic bird, as if under control, began to attack the group recklessly.
"Everyone, be careful not to get separated."
The demonic seal magnified dozens of times, firmly covering the lantern tree. It squeezed the lantern tree, and as the lantern tree collapsed, it shrank to the size of a stone, crushing the people into a pulp and trapping them here completely.
The air inside the tree became thin, making it difficult for everyone to breathe. The attacks from the demonic bird were draining everyone's strength. When Fu Liuwan saw that Li Fuchao's Xuanhe Sword Technique had only killed the demonic bird, she no longer hesitated to pull Zhou Zheyue over. Although she admired the senior brother of the Qingyun Sect, she did not want to die here, especially not in such a way that he would die without a complete corpse. She could not accept it.
So she took out the Qiankun Shifting Token that her father had given her before she left. The Shifting Token could temporarily change space, but the number of people it could carry was limited. The collapse was getting more and more serious. She gritted her teeth and crushed it before the demonic energy completely eroded the place.
A gap appeared in their backs, and Shi Xianxue was almost ambushed. Fortunately, Song Qingshu was right beside her. After smashing the crazed bird with a palm, she drew a talisman under their feet. Her emotions were not affected by her teammates' desertion and she appeared unusually stable: "Don't worry, Xiaoxue, I will definitely get you out of here."
Shi Xianxue, who was still criticizing the group for their lack of morality, immediately stopped talking and showed a genuine and kind smile: "Okay, I love you."
Li Fuchao had found the weak point in the barrier and was attacking it with all his might. Song Qingshu protected Shi Xianxue and the other person under the barrier formed by the talismans and went to help Li Fuchao.
Shi Xianxue squatted down next to Wu Xiutang, bossing him around like a wealthy old man, "Hey, are you feeling better? If you are, go help out."
Wu Xiutang is a man of deep thoughts, and having lived here for some time, he is more familiar with the city than they are. She doesn't believe he has no way out.
Wu Xiutang sat cross-legged, unmoved by Shi Xianxue's urging.
The Demon Seal only grows stronger when attacked. Even if they cut open the Lantern Tree, they cannot easily destroy the Demon Seal. He needs to think of another way.
He recalled that when he made a deal with Shi Xianxue and the Lantern Woman, perhaps it was the peace and tranquility of the past few hundred years and the existence of the magic seal that made the Lantern Woman lower her guard. In front of him, she used ancient incantations and complicated hand seals to open the passage of the Lantern Tree.
Having read so many strange and unusual books, he naturally knew that it was a spell belonging to the demon race. However, this had an astonishing coincidence with some records of the gods in the "Records of Mountains and Seas".
No—perhaps it's not a coincidence.
That person once told him that, compared to the legend that gods and demons are natural enemies, there is actually an even more interesting theory—
Humans, gods, and demons are all of the same origin.
They were all born from the hands of the creator god.
The gods were born earlier; they were born magnificent and possessed powerful compassion. The demons, who were born later, were ugly, stupid, and more ferocious and bloodthirsty.
The gods possessed a bloodline advantage over the demons, and the demons obeyed the gods and were enslaved by them. However, both races were few in number and had difficulty reproducing, so the human race, as numerous as ants, quickly occupied the entire continent.
Their lives were fragile and short, but they possessed extraordinary wisdom. They farmed, hunted, used fire, built walls and weapons. More intelligent humans gradually emerged and became leaders among the people. Soon, this continent was divided into three relatively large tribes: the Wushan tribe, the Jiuyi tribe, and the Zhongyuan tribe.
At that time, the spiritual energy of the entire continent was not abundant, and it was desolate and in need of reconstruction. Although the human race was intelligent and hardworking, their weaknesses were also very obvious. They feared the cold, hunger, disease and death, and at the same time envied the long lifespan of the gods and demons. So some talented people in the tribe began to cultivate, hoping to seek immortality and live as long as heaven and earth.
However, the path of cultivation was not as easy as they had imagined. In their daily failures, the Jiuyi tribe accidentally discovered that the cultivation methods of the demon race were more compatible with their bloodline. When the order of heaven and earth was not very clear, the Jiuyi tribe began to intermarry with the demon race, giving birth to many children with both bloodlines. These children cultivated faster and had higher cultivation levels.
The divine being, Zhuze, was born there.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, the goddess Kongsang chose to descend upon the Wushan tribe. She was beautiful and kind, possessed the power of compassionate healing, and diligently taught the two tribes to unite and love each other. She also taught them simpler cultivation methods and built the Worship Platform.
Zhu Ze, on the other hand, possessed destructive power, enjoyed fighting and bloodshed, and was skilled in deception and seduction. He expanded his territory by stepping on the corpses of other tribes. The two tribes he ruled were not only extremely warlike and ruthless, but he also tried to elevate the Jiuyi and the Demon race to the status of superiors, demanding that all other tribes submit to him, in order to achieve the great unification of this continent.
War broke out on this continent as expected. The creator god had long since fallen, and the demon race and the Jiuyi race were numerous. In the world, only the goddess Kongsang could fight against them. In order for the two tribes to survive, Kongsang chose to sacrifice her divine bones to the heavens and perish together with Zhuze.
The man chuckled softly as he spoke, and Wu Xiutang saw a deep-seated hatred in his eyes. "A god fallen into demonic ways, willingly degrading himself, a filthy and lowly creature like a bedbug, actually daring to lay a finger on the goddess, truly laughable and despicable!"
The man's expression turned slightly ferocious as he finished speaking. Wu Xiutang stared at him coldly.
The man chuckled hoarsely, the sound carrying a chilling undertone in the deserted winter night. The cold wind rattled the bells hanging from the eaves, producing a crisp tinkling sound. The pure white paulownia flowers swayed their shadows on the window screen. He seemed to remember something, his laughter fading into the wind. His two dark eyes slowly turned to Wu Xiutang's face, and he stared at her almost in a daze. Suddenly, he curled his lips into a smirk. "Bullshit about the unity of gods and demons! I'll kill all of you filthy things sooner or later."
God fell to the demon, and God and demon became one.
Since gods and demons are one, the methods for destroying the divine seal recorded in the "Records of Mountains and Seas" are sufficient to destroy the demonic seal.
A faint golden snake-shaped pattern appeared on Wu Xiutang's forehead. Relying on the incantation and hand seals he remembered, he let the golden pattern crawl all over his body like a spider web. Shi Xianxue didn't know what he was doing, but she felt that Wu Xiutang's condition was precarious and he could shatter into skin fragments at any moment.
She couldn't offer any help, so she could only keep her mouth shut and stop disturbing his thoughts.
Li Fuchao and Song Qingshu exchanged a glance, then came up behind Wu Xiutang and slowly injected spiritual energy into his body.
Shi Xianxue saw the spiritual power imbued with the incantation injected into the Xuanhe Sword in mid-air, and then it slashed heavily down at the weak point of the barrier.
The enormous explosion seemed to explode right next to her ears. Shi Xianxue covered her head and ran away in panic. The intense heat felt like it was going to bake her alive. Then, a fierce burst of spiritual energy rebounded back like shattered glass. Before she was blown away, someone caught her from behind.
Burning debris drifted through the air, and she smelled a sweet fragrance closer up, realizing who had come to save her. Her nerves relaxed, and she fainted.
Separated by a forest, in the Mountain of No Return, the crack in the seal grew larger and larger under the combined assault of the demons. The restless little demons, unwilling to exhaust their magic power and turn into withered bones, seized the opportunity to rush into the crack in an attempt to escape the Mountain of No Return. However, a scream from the crack made all the demons realize that now was not the best time to escape the seal. Those who forced their way through would either be lucky enough to become like the Nine-Tailed Fox, or unlucky enough to be crushed into dust, leaving no trace of their bodies.
A wisp of black demonic energy drifted over the little demon's shattered body and into the deepest part of the Mountain of No Return.
The place was pitch black, shrouded in gloom and fog. A demonic wind tore through the air, howling like gods and ghosts. A huge beast skeleton burst from the black ground and pierced the sky, forming a white wall of bones.
Behind the wall of white bones, a white-haired man with tattered clothes lay fast asleep. His white hair, hanging down, covered most of his face. Beneath his tattered clothes, red-hot chains pierced through his collarbone, crisscrossing and sealing his meridians. As they climbed down, they tightened instantly, binding his limbs and trapping him firmly in this place.
The demonic energy transformed into square demonic seals that chattered and flew around him, seemingly complaining, anxiously and eagerly wanting to report what it had seen and heard that day to the man.
The man's tightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he were about to awaken. Xiao Feiyin excitedly flew over, but was annihilated by the man's raised hand, turning into a wisp of demonic energy that entered his brow.
The man stretched lazily, the chains binding his limbs rattling as they were pulled. Dark blue veins snaked down his arms to the tips of his knuckles. He slowly loosened his knuckles, his voice hoarse but not unpleasant.
"It's so noisy."
