Chapter 42: Lou Yunxiao Commits Suicide
“Truly a supreme vessel…”
“After seizing this body and cultivating for another dozen years, this seal will hardly be able to trap me.”
Lou Yunxiao vaguely heard these voices before waking up. One hand gripped the sword in his grasp, while the other groped around his surroundings.
What he touched were bones. Countless bones.
There were the skeletons of demon beasts, as well as human skulls.
The scent of blood filled his nasal cavity. Lou Yunxiao covered his wound, only to hear the miserable scream of a young man not far away.
“Is that you, Lou Yunxiao? Fellow Daoist Lou, save me!”
Following the sound, Lou Yunxiao used his sword to prop up his body.
Although he didn’t know why he hadn’t died when facing that invincible Demon.
As long as he still had his life, he had to fight and strive to live on.
“Wait for me.”
He severed the chains binding the young man with one strike and said in a deep voice, “I cannot see. You identify the direction; we must leave here as soon as possible.”
The disciple nodded repeatedly and said, “This place is full of skeletons. Three days ago, I was dragged in by the Red Willows. I thought I was going to die here. Fortunately, I met you, Fellow Daoist Lou.”
His face was full of relief. Although he was still injured, he was filled with hope for survival.
Lou Yunxiao faintly felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
He felt something was wrong.
But right now, leaving first was the best option.
The two ran out of this side hall. There were no obstacles along the way, as if the Demon they encountered before was just a dream of Lou Yunxiaoās.
It wasn’t until they reached the entrance of the underground palace that the disciple shouted in surprise, and Lou Yunxiao also hooked up the corners of his mouth.
“Let’s hurry to the surface.”
As he said this, his mind was full of thoughts of A-Ke.
He wondered if Xiaoxiao had found A-Ke. He hoped his Junior Brother wouldn’t be too worried, and definitely wouldn’t chase after him.
Because he was about to get out. He wanted to give the other party a surprise.
He wanted to let A-Ke know that he had survived well.
But in the next moment, a voice suddenly rang out in his Sea of Consciousness.
“Too naive, kid.”
In the blink of an eye, Lou Yunxiao lost control of his body.
The Blue Silver Sword instantly stabbed into that disciple’s chest!
The disciple fell to his knees in disbelief, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood. Using all his strength, he grabbed the corner of Lou Yunxiaoās clothes and asked him, “Why… Fellow Daoist Lou…”
“Weren’t we… going back together…”
“I don’t want to die… I still… don’t want to die…”
“Hahaha, this is interesting!” The voice in Lou Yunxiaoās Sea of Consciousness laughed loudly: “Giving you hope, then sending you to death. Only in this way will your resentment be heavier, and you will taste more delicious when eaten!”
And at this moment, Lou Yunxiao finally realized what he had overlooked.
The Demon hadn’t disappeared; it had entered his body!
“Get out!”
Lou Yunxiaoās eyes were splitting with rage, appearing somewhat ferocious.
He rarely had moments of violent rage.
But at this moment, he was like a madman.
He summoned the Origin Fox Fire Ning Ke gave him.
Making it burn through the meridians of his whole body, forcing that Demon out from the inside.
“You actually have this fire?” The Demon sneered: “But it’s too weak. You can’t do anything to me with this.”
However, he still returned control of the body to Lou Yunxiao.
He induced patiently: “Your body is the best vessel for me. Just cooperate with me properly. Escape this underground palace, and by then, we will be the masters of the realm.”
“Now listen to me. I’ll teach you how to suck this little cultivator’s blood dry. You can also dig out his Golden Core and eat it. That flesh is also extremely fresh and delicious, greatly beneficial for increasing cultivation…”
But Lou Yunxiao seemed not to hear his words at all.
He just remained silent.
Squatted down.
His fingers brushed over the Blue Silver Sword.
He placed the sword body under that young man.
The Blue Silver Sword seemed to sense something, emitting a humming sword cry.
Lou Yunxiao only said one word.
“Go.”
The Blue Silver Sword rapidly grew larger, carrying that young man and rushing out of the underground palace at flying speed.
Lou Yunxiao waved his hand, and the gate of the underground palace closed.
“Stinking brat, what are you doing!”
That Demon immediately wanted to take back control, but in the next moment, he found that Lou Yunxiao was already holding an ice sword and stabbed it into his own heart, ruthlessly crushing it without hesitation!
He was already seriously injured; now he couldn’t hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
Piercing red blood soaked the ground.
Behind the silk ribbon, Lou Yunxiao opened his gray-blue eyes.
Consciousness gradually faded.
No one wants to die.
Lou Yunxiao was the same.
But he had sworn an oath: until death, he would not harm his own kind.
This was his Dao and honor.
And he knew that with his current weak ability, being seized by a Demon with such high cultivation, regardless of whether he was willing or not, he would harm more of his own kind in the future…
Therefore, he chose to kill himself.
Itās just…
In the end, he still wanted to go back.
Wanted to go back to find A-Ke.
Wanted to tell him that he was still alive.
Wanted revenge…
Wanted to thank Sister…
Wanted to revitalize the Liuyun Sect…
But truthfully, even the most dazzling genius has a time when they fall.
Thus, he could only go to the Nine Springs to apologize to his father and mother…
“Damn it! Damn it!!” The Demon rushed out of Lou Yunxiaoās body, his aura surging, possessing strength close to the Mahayana stage, and blasted open the door of the underground palace. However, he couldn’t break through the layer of golden runes enveloping the underground palace.
The reason he bewildered Lou Yunxiao was because he discovered that Lou Yunxiao was different from others.
Lou Yunxiao carried the scent of their enemyāthe Heavenly Dao.
That was why he wanted to tame Lou Yunxiao into his puppet, occupy this body, cultivate in the underground palace for another dozen years, and then there would probably be a chance to break the seal and escape!
But he never expected that this person would rather commit suicide than be manipulated by him!
“Heavenly Dao!!!!”
The Demon transformed into a height of several zhang, frantically pounding the rune light shield. The suppressing stone stele in the center of the underground palace shook along with it.
“Ten thousand years! It’s been ten thousand years! How much longer are you going to trap me!!!!”
He roared like this for a while, then turned to look at Lou Yunxiaoās lifeless body.
Extending a hand, overwhelming demonic energy rushed straight into Lou Yunxiaoās body!
“You want to die? I won’t let you get your wish!!!”
“Even if I can’t bring you back to life, you will become a slave for me like a walking corpse!”
He was talking about the Living Dead.
The heart no longer beats, but retains some human consciousness.
Able to move, able to speak, able to handle matters for him.
Only a Demon could create this kind of Living Dead.
Ten thousand years ago, one of the reasons the Human Race and Demon (Yao) Race couldn’t beat the Demons was because there were too many of these Living Dead, making it difficult for the humans and demons who possessed emotions to attack their own kind.
Thick demonic energy wrapped around Lou Yunxiaoās body.
Pouring in continuously.
The demonic markings at the corner of the young man’s eye went from blurred before to gradually clear.
Bit by bit, the color deepened.
Like enchanting hellfire…
And at this time, on the surface, Ning Ke clutched his aching heart, looking at the Red Cloud Sword that seemed to have been weeping since just now.
Gritting his teeth, he held the sword body in his arms.
Trying hard to take deep breaths to prevent tears from falling from his sour eyes.
He could feel it.
Lou Yunxiao was resisting, was in pain.
Like scraping bones, pain reaching the heart.
