He Xiao nodded: "Really."
Luo Jianqing smiled softly, his handsome, elegant face suddenly becoming even more vibrant, captivating He Xiao, who swallowed thickly. The two men were only ten meters apart. He Xiao calmly watched Luo Jianqing play hand gestures, watched a green light flash between his brows, and watched the sword transform into a blue lotus as it struck him.
At this moment, He Xiao was still thinking in his heart: How come the beauty's sword is just like the beauty, soft like a flower.
However, when the deadly green lotus approached ten feet, He Xiao froze. Years of life-and-death battles had made him sense a glimmer of danger! He immediately mobilized his spiritual power, unconcerned with the requirement to suppress his cultivation, and raised his broadsword, ready to attack.
At this moment, the Demon Lord said softly, "Your cultivation has surpassed the half-step out-of-body realm. Subdue me!"
Instantly, the immense spiritual energy within He Xiao was suppressed by a terrifying pressure. He watched in horror as the blue lotus pierced through his body, entering through his chest and exiting from behind his heart. From beginning to end, the blue lotus remained as pure and cold as ever. The Frost Floating Sword returned to Luo Jianqing's hands, a perfect match between man and sword.
He Xiao suddenly knelt on his knees and spat out blood.
Seeing this, Luo Jianqing didn't bother to pay any attention to the shameless man. He had just used the "Lotus Opening Sword" technique, combined with the "Snatching Karma" technique from the "Nine Seizures of Heavenly Records", to destroy He Xiao's heart meridians. The power of "Snatching Karma" was truly unpredictable. The remaining souls of the male cultivators He Xiao had once abused would continue to gnaw at his damaged meridians. While he wouldn't die, he would be forever disabled.
Luo Jianqing bowed and said, "Disciple has fulfilled his mission."
Venerable Yuqingzi smiled and nodded, but before he could speak, he saw a ray of blood piercing through He Xiao's eyebrows.
Luo Jianqing turned around in surprise, only to hear the cold voice of the Demon Lord: "I have no use for you, so you can pay your sins to the people of Mount Taihua with your life."
Luo Jianqing: "..."
Originally, Luo Jianqing was planning to bring He Xiao back to Yudu, so that he, a disabled man, could also "enjoy" the feelings of those male cultivators who were abused and raped... Forget it, let's not talk about it. This Demon Lord really doesn't know how to torture people.
Now, the birthday celebration is over, the question about the Blood Spirit Fruit has been answered, and the life-and-death duel has been resolved.
For a moment, everyone planned to rest in the Demon Palace for another night and leave the next day.
That night, Luo Jianqing returned to his own room. Instead of cultivating peacefully as he had promised Yu Qingzi, he pulled out a jade-green tablet from his ring and channeled his spiritual energy into it. Soon, a blood-red figure appeared in his room.
Luo Jianqing didn't expect the Demon Lord to arrive so quickly. He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Senior Demon Lord."
The Demon Lord lowered his eyes to look at him. Luo Jianqing was looking down at the moment and did not notice the teasing and smile in the Demon Lord's eyes. When he looked up again, the Demon Lord had already returned to his cold and ruthless appearance and asked, "Xuan Lingzi asked you to look for me, what is it?"
Luo Jianqing pressed a hand to his lower abdomen, causing the Demon Lord to frown. The next moment, a blood-colored fruit suddenly emerged from his abdomen. As the Blood Spirit Fruit left his body, Luo Jianqing felt a pain as if his soul was being torn apart. Sweat dripped down his forehead, and his face gradually turned pale. But he gritted his teeth and took out the entire Blood Spirit Fruit.
As he took it out, blood seeped from the corner of Luo Jianqing's mouth. He finally understood why his master had told him to go to the Demon Dao Palace before handing the item over to the Demon Lord. He was extremely weak at the moment and needed a strong person to heal him. Moreover, the power of the Blood Spirit Fruit was constantly dissipating in the air, and no one could stop the loss of spiritual power.
Seeing this, the Demon Lord opened his eyes wide, subconsciously forgetting his own identity, and directly grabbed Luo Jianqing, asking anxiously: "What are you doing, Luo Jianqing!"
Luo Jianqing looked pale. He offered the Blood Spirit Fruit with both hands and said, "Return it to its original owner."
The Demon Lord was speechless.
Not long after, the Demon Lord took back the Blood Spirit Fruit. He placed a hand on Luo Jianqing's back and began to heal him. A quarter of an hour later, Luo Jianqing's injuries had completely healed, but the Demon Lord hesitated to leave. He frowned and asked, "Do you know that if you lose this Blood Spirit Fruit, your cultivation will slow down?"
Luo Jianqing nodded slightly: "Junior knows."
"Then why did you return it? Since I didn't kill you, I naturally didn't think of taking it back."
Luo Jianqing raised his eyes to look at the Demon Lord before him and said seriously, "Senior, I've heard from Master that you're aiming to reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage. The fewer people who know about this, the better, so I didn't expose your words in the hall. Although righteous cultivators and demonic cultivators have always been at odds, if you could achieve a breakthrough, it would be a major event for humanity. Even with exceptional talent, I'd have to wait a hundred or two hundred years to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Furthermore, as a demonic cultivator, your strength far surpasses those of your level. If you break through, humanity will have true peace from now on."
The Demon Lord remained silent.
After a long while, he asked, "Now that the human race has achieved peace, does that mean the contract signed a hundred years ago is also gone?"
Luo Jianqing was slightly stunned when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, he nodded: "Yes."
"Haha, Xuan Lingzi has a good plan."
Luo Jianqing didn't understand what he was saying, but the Demon Lord still didn't leave his room. The two of them stared at each other, and Luo Jianqing vaguely felt that this situation seemed to have happened many times, but he couldn't figure out why.
When the Demon Lord was really willing to leave, Luo Jianqing saw him off. Before leaving, the Demon Lord suddenly grabbed Luo Jianqing's right hand and pressed it into his palm, leaving a mark.
