Yuehan stared at Zhou Ling in shock. She was a thousand-faced demon. Not only could she change her appearance, but she could also hide her strong demonic aura, making her look no different from an ordinary person. As long as her inner core was not broken, she would not reveal her demonic aura.
However, Zhou Ling was different. Even though she tried her best to conceal her demonic energy and prevent it from being discovered by the cultivators of the Spiritual Mountain Sect, her demonic energy was still detected by Yuehan. This was because Yuehan and Zhou Ling were the same, their powers originated from the Lord of the Underworld. They were both cursed demons.
Zhou Ling looked at Yuehan suspiciously, while Yuehan stared at Zhou Ling with her eyes wide open, her eyes filled with uncontrollable fear.
Zhou Ling stared at Yuehan. She felt that her aura was familiar but she did not think too much about it. Her target was Li Chengfeng!
Zhou Ling scoffed and was about to chase after Li Chengfeng when Xiaobao sensed her intentions. The Zimu Lightning Sword in his hand slashed towards Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling furrowed her brows and glared at Xiaobao. She raised her hand and threw a punch. Before her fist could land on Xiaobao, the wind it stirred sent Xiaobao flying away.
Yuehan suddenly reacted. With a wave of her hand, a gust of wind shot out and caught Xiaobao in mid-air. She glared at Zhou Ling and said, "You're here … to kill him?"
Zhou Ling looked at Li Chengfeng and sneered, "You want to stop me?"
Although Yuehan was terrified, she gritted her teeth. "I won't let you hurt him!"
Zhou Ling looked at her with interest. "Oh?
Then how are you going to stop me? "
Yuehan moved in a flash and stood in front of Zhou Ling, her body trembling. "If you kill him, you won't be able to escape either!
You're a high-class demon, how dare you come to Spiritual Mountain and cause trouble! Are you tired of living?! "
Zhou Ling looked at Yuehan in shock, then at Li Chengfeng who was behind her. She growled, "You have a death wish!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure flashed and appeared in front of Yuehan in an instant.
Yuehan had not recovered her strength and was no match for Zhou Ling. Moreover, her spells were more like illusions. She was better at sneak attacks, control and infiltration. Direct combat was not her forte.
Zhou Ling's claw swiped at Yuehan. It was a simple attack but it felt like it was tearing through the air. Yuehan tried to dodge but from a meter or two away, deep wounds appeared on her face and body. They were like grooves of blood and fresh blood flowed from them.
Yuehan quickly made a hand seal to cast a spell. Her injuries healed quickly. Zhou Ling sneered and pounced forward. Her claw dug into Yuehan's chest as she could not dodge in time. Yuehan spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xiaobao roared as he pounced forward, but Zhou Ling caught him in her palm. Zhou Ling grinned and tightened her grip. Xiaobao felt as if he was being squeezed by an invisible giant hand. His blood vessels burst, and blood flowed out of his orifices. He died on the spot!
Zhou Ling cleared the obstacles and in a flash, she flew towards Li Chengfeng. Sensing movement behind him, Li Chengfeng turned and ran in terror.
Zhou Ling grinned maliciously. Her body turned into a thick plume of smoke, shooting towards Li Chengfeng like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, she was right in front of Li Chengfeng. The black smoke enveloped Li Chengfeng, causing him to scream in agony. Inside the black smoke, blood gushed out like a fountain. After a few breaths, he fell to the ground, his entire body burning as if it was on fire. He was on his last breath.
Zhou Ling squatted beside him, gritting her teeth. "Aren't you cultivators supposed to be very powerful?
You can kill, rob and take whatever you want!
Our Zhou family's fate was decided by a single thought from you!
The tens of thousands of innocent people in Tong 'an City may not have died by your hands, but because of you … "
As she spoke, she noticed something was wrong with Li Chengfeng. Her gaze sharpened and she punched a hole through his chest. He struggled for a moment, then stopped moving. She turned to look around suspiciously.
Zhou Ling walked over to the Heaven Inquiring Bell and reached out to touch it. She flicked it with her finger and the bell actually let out a buzzing sound.
Zhou Ling burst into laughter. "It's just an illusion, child's play!
How can the Heaven Questioning Bell be rung by someone else?! "
Zhou Ling sneered, thick black mist erupting from her body. She raised both hands and the black mist gathered into a ball, then slammed it onto the ground!
With a rumble, the ground of Heaven's Inquiry Peak shattered like a piece of paper. Countless fragments flew into the air, including Li Chengfeng's corpse. At this moment, it also began to shatter into pieces, like dust flying in all directions.
…
Zhou Ling opened her eyes abruptly. Her vertical pupils were boiling red, like a lotus made of hellfire!
Yuehan was terrified. She didn't think that there would be such an inconspicuous flaw in her illusions!
Zhou Ling's figure flashed and appeared in front of Yuehan. She grabbed Yuehan's neck with one hand and lifted her up like a little chick.
Yuehan's illusion had been broken, and her strength had yet to recover. There was no way she could fight against Zhou Ling at her peak. Xiaobao gritted his teeth and lunged forward, but Zhou Ling grabbed him with her other hand and lifted him into the air.
The tragic scene in the illusion was about to happen. Zhou Ling held Yuehan's neck, the black aura around her slowly seeping into Yuehan's body. She was about to exert her strength when her expression changed. She looked at Yuehan in shock. "You … you're a demon?
How … how can you be a demon?
I … why didn't I sense your aura earlier?
You're … "
Before she could finish her sentence, her expression froze. The red in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a burning purplish black flame and a pair of ghastly white eyes.
'Zhou Ling' stared straight at Yuehan. Her voice changed as well, turning into the deep male voice of the King of Hades. "Yuehan, my thousand-faced demon!
I've finally found you! "
Yuehan's worst nightmare had finally appeared before her eyes. She trembled, her voice trembling. "I … I won't go back!"
The 'King of Hades' grinned maliciously. "Oh?
Who gave you the courage to go against my will?! "
Yuehan was like Zhou Ling. At first, she was filled with hatred and vengeance. But after repeated attempts at vengeance, she finally grew tired of the endless sea of blood, tired of the never-ending vengeance. She was even more afraid of the King of Hades' control over her!
She tried everything she could to break free from the King of Hades. She tried everything she could to become stronger. Finally, she realised that as long as she regained her Heart of Seven Artefacts, she could break free from the King of Hades' control!
However, it did not work. The afterglow of the afterglow lingered in the air!
When Yuehan was in despair, when she was being hunted by the Zhan family for thousands of miles, she met Li Chengfeng!
This seemed to be a meeting of fate. From the beginning, Yuehan only wanted to absorb immortal energy to become stronger so that she could fight against the King of Hades. But now, Yuehan saw the hope of regaining her Heart of Seven Artefacts!
Yuehan's fearful gaze slowly turned to determination. She gathered her courage and strength bit by bit to face this terrifying demon from the Nine Hell Blood Pool!
Yuehan said firmly, "I won't go back with you!"
