Chapter 173: The Demon's Trump Card. Everyone discussed it and when it came to the second...
After a few people discussed it, Xu Hui would stay where she was the next day, while Haitang would play hide-and-seek with them.
Zhong Lingyue walked around for a long time but only found Xu Hui. She was so angry that she almost closed the Five Yin Seven Stars Formation. But then she thought that if the formation was not there, the remaining two people might escape, so she gave up unwillingly.
She pressed Xu Hui, "Where did those two go? If they weren't there, you'd be the only one doing the hard labor."
In fact, it was the devil who asked her to cut the Nether Iron and bring it back as quickly as possible so that they could set up the formation as soon as possible, complete the sacrifice, and contract the Nether Cold Flame.
Zhong Lingyue also hopes to obtain the Netherworld Cold Flame as soon as possible so that she can take revenge on Xu Hui, Zhong Xinyue, and all those she hates and those who dare to wrong her!
But she was really afraid of yesterday's experience, so she thought of taking Lei Xiao and Wan Moxiao with her as well.
If three people take action, she can hide away in peace.
However, Xu Hui didn't give her a chance and sneered, "Of course I hid myself. I was careless and you made me into a demon. It's my own bad luck. Don't even think about getting to me, Wan Moxiao and the others!"
"Ha! You didn't think Wan Moxiao would deliver on his promise of resources?" Zhong Lingyue scoffed. "You're just a little country girl, so you don't understand. I might as well tell you the truth. The demons are humanity's greatest enemy. Demonic energy and spiritual energy cancel each other out; they're naturally antagonistic. We don't have a chance now, otherwise the human cultivators would have wiped out the demons long ago."
"The human race can cooperate with the demon race and have dealings with the spirit world, but they hate the demon race with a deep hatred. She was just trying to fool you. As the daughter of the Wan family, you naturally have to stand with your family. As the head of the ten great families, they cannot allow anyone to protect the demon race. Ha, fool!"
Xu Hui's expression changed slightly, as if what she said had touched upon a hidden worry in her heart, but she still pretended to be disdainful and said, "Whatever you say, even if she slips up, that's a matter of the future. If she really doesn't keep her word, I will naturally find a way to deal with her. Anyway, I will protect her now!"
"Stubborn!" Zhong Lingyue's eyes darkened, and she immediately thought of those people in her previous life who were determined to protect Zhong Xinyue at all costs.
Why are some people so lucky? Even though they haven't done anything, there are people willing to protect them!
And she, Zhong Lingyue, has done so much, but she is still said to be jealous and malicious?
She just wanted to get the opportunities she deserved. Why should all the good things belong to Zhong Xinyue? Why should everyone only protect her?
The more Zhong Lingyue thought about it, the angrier she became. Demonic energy surged around her, making her look both strange and dangerous. She swung the bone sword heavily in her hand, and the demonic energy seemed to come alive, turning into claws and fangs and rushing in all directions.
Xu Hui frowned and rushed over to grab the bone sword, "You robber, give the bone sword back to me."
She acted quickly and was in front of Zhong Lingyue in the blink of an eye. Her spiritual power disguised as demonic energy competed with the demonic energy, and there seemed to be a lightning-like collision sound in the air.
"Robber? Humph, if I take it away, it's mine!" Zhong Lingyue sneered, her tone full of contempt. Under her control, the bone sword was like a dragon emerging from the sea, bringing with it a biting cold wind, and directly struck Xu Hui's vitals.
Xu Hui cleverly dodged the attack by turning her body to the side, and at the same time, she flipped her wrist, and another spirit sword appeared. However, because she was now a 'demon', she could not inject spiritual power into it, and could only rely on the sharpness of the spirit sword itself.
But even though this spiritual sword is a top-grade magic weapon, it is still powerless against the bone sword that is extremely hard.
With a snap, the magic sword fell down. Such a good top-grade magic weapon was destroyed just like that.
Xu Hui did not hesitate, and the second magic sword appeared in her hand. This time she did not fight head-on, but quickly distanced herself and swung the sword.
This sword does not carry any spiritual power, and naturally no demonic energy, it is pure sword intent.
After she mastered the wind and concealment of the "Qiankun Sword Art", she began to have a vague idea of the sword intent.
However, she did not follow the path of swordsmanship, so she did not deliberately temper her sword skills.
But now that it has taken shape, it carries its own momentum and power. When the sword is swung out, it turns into thousands of invisible swords, like a sword formation of thousands of troops, which makes Zhong Lingyue breathless.
Zhong Lingyue's face suddenly changed. The sword formation was so sharp and powerful that it was as if she was locked in by thousands of swords. Every inch of her skin seemed to feel the pain of being cut.
"Is this... sword intent?!" Zhong Lingyue was shocked. She had never thought that a person who did not practice swordsmanship could comprehend and display such a powerful sword intent.
This sword intent was so strong that it was frightening, and also made her... extremely jealous.
The bone sword suddenly hummed, and demonic energy surged wildly, trying to resist this invisible pressure.
Zhong Lingyue retreated violently, trying to distance herself from the sword formation, but those invisible swords seemed to have spirits, following closely and not giving her any chance to breathe.
"Hmph, so what if you have comprehended the sword intent? Nothing!" Zhong Lingyue shouted angrily, and the demonic energy in his body boiled, forming a huge black ball. As the bone sword was swung out, it turned into a sharp demonic blade, spinning and cutting, trying to crush the sword intent.
However, Xu Hui's sword intent was extremely tenacious, and even under the crazy attack of the magic blade, it did not weaken in the slightest.
On the contrary, as Xu Hui's mind moved, the sword formation became denser, and each invisible sword seemed to have its own will, launching fatal attacks on Zhong Lingyue from different angles and speeds.
"The universe is reversed, the sword points to the sky!" Xu Hui murmured, holding the sword in both hands. Although there was no spiritual power injected, the tip of the sword seemed to connect heaven and earth. An indescribable power surged in her body, ready to give the final blow.
Zhong Lingyue's pupils constricted, and she gritted her teeth and yelled, "Master!"
"Stop!" The demon's voice rang out. Xu Hui suddenly stopped moving and looked at Zhong Lingyue with a bad face. "Oh, useless! Is this the only trick you can rely on?"
Zhong Lingyue's face looked extremely ugly. She was extremely embarrassed because she was defeated by Xu Hui every time.
Even though he was reborn and had experience from his previous life, he was still no match for his predecessor in every way and felt extremely frustrated.
She nearly gnashed her teeth to pieces, but had no choice but to swallow her anger and force herself to save face. "So what? You still can't fight me, right?"
"Oh!" Xu Hui pretended to be angry and turned away, but she was actually feeling relieved.
Just for a moment, she wanted to ignore everything and kill Zhong Lingyue directly, so that she could perhaps hinder the devil's plan.
But at the last moment, she reluctantly stopped. There were too many secrets here, and it was not advisable to act rashly before exploring them clearly.
The devil is definitely not as incompetent as he appears, and Zhong Lingyue obviously doesn't know the true identity of her "master". They have to rely on themselves to find out the truth. Oh, how worrying!
This feeling of melancholy disappeared after leaving the palace.
Because she sensed Wei Mubai's presence, right around her.
There is a Heavenly Contract between her and Wei Mubai. Although they are not as telepathic as Mu Yuan and Haitang, they are so close that she can naturally feel it.
It turned out that Wei Mubai was just outside the hall, but inside the hall, even the Heavenly Dao Contract was suppressed, and she didn't feel it at all. This shows how powerful the thing that suppresses cultivation is.
Xu Hui moved her fingers and felt someone touching her hand, and she couldn't help but smile in her heart.
After that, she pretended nothing happened and followed Zhong Lingyue all the way to the vicinity of the Dark Iron.
Zhong Lingyue looked at her with ill intent, "Your mission today is to cut them up and take them away."
Xu Hui raised her eyebrows and slowly approached. When they were at a certain distance, she suddenly attacked, pushing Zhong Lingyue closer to Mingtie. She then slid back a distance, and watched calmly with her arms crossed.
"Ah!" Zhong Lingyue was caught off guard and was pushed closer to the dark iron without any preparation. The black skeletons pounced on her and completely enveloped her.
Zhong Lingyue instantly felt the pain of her soul being torn and bitten off. She screamed and rolled on the ground.
The sea of consciousness was invaded by the skeleton and almost bit the demon. It was furious and released the cold flame of the underworld.
The black mist suddenly retreated and returned to the dark iron, trembling.
But in just a short while, a large piece of Zhong Lingyue's soul was bitten off, causing terrible damage, and the whole person was still unconscious.
The devil stared at Xu Hui viciously. One could tell from the look in his eyes that he definitely wanted to cut off her soul to supplement Zhong Lingyue's.
Xu Hui immediately retreated, but found herself frozen in place, unable to move. She immediately said, "If you touch my soul, I will immediately self-destruct. If anything happens to my soul, the Wei family will immediately notice."
She was not sure whether the devil knew that Wei Mubai was here, but threatening him with the Wei family was enough.
After all, if the Wei family really wants to take action, they can sink the secret realm into the endless abyss. At that time, it will be useless even if the devil has contracted the Netherworld Cold Flame.
That place is an eternal prison!
The devil roared angrily and released his pressure, immediately forcing Xu Hui to kneel on the ground with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
However, she continued to challenge him, "She wanted to use me. I had to know the threat of this Dark Iron. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Ha, it feeds on souls. If it weren't for my wit, I would definitely be the one to die!"
The demon stared at her intently, slowly raising his hand. Boundless pressure suddenly surged over her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. A cold and angry voice rang out, "Do you want to cut the Nether Iron, or die directly?"
Xu Hui was silent for a moment, knowing that the devil was serious this time, and immediately wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "I'll do it!" A wise man is one who knows the current situation!
"Hmph," the demon snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared into Zhong Lingyue's sea of consciousness.
Soon, the unconscious body stiffly climbed up, opened a pair of cold and wanton eyes, and threatened coldly, "When I come back, if you don't cut off three thousand pounds, you will die!"
After saying this, 'she' walked away in a strange posture, hanging her stiff body.
Xu Hui watched this scene and had a bad feeling in her heart, "He can't even repair a broken soul, right?"
If this is the case, then the remnant soul may not be a remnant soul!
It is very likely that he is not only able to appear as a remnant soul, but... deliberately appears as a remnant soul. What is his purpose?
Xu Hui shuddered violently. It was definitely not simple!
The next second, her hand was grasped by an invisible giant hand, and a voice rang out in her mind, "Don't worry, Venerable Lotus has already caught up. It's a good opportunity to see what the devil has in store!"
Also, his purpose in going to great lengths to save Zhong Lingyue was definitely not out of kindness!
