Chapter 126: Why Aren’t You Dead Yet?
As soon as the Great Demon’s words came out, everyone around froze for a moment.
They turned their heads in unison to look at Lou Yunxiao.
What ten thousand years ago?
What reincarnation?
Did Lou Yunxiao actually know this demon?
And why did this demon seem a little afraid of Lou Yunxiao?
Lou Yunxiao was equally bewildered by what he heard.
He furrowed his brows deeply and asked, “What on earth are you talking about? I was born in the Liuyun Sect, and now I am a disciple of the Sword Sect, Lou Yunxiao. I am not someone from ten thousand years ago.”
“Your name is also Lou Yunxiao?!” Nan Shi’er exclaimed in shock. “To think even your name is exactly the same…”
Lou Yunxiao’s eyes deepened with confusion, but he had no intention of wasting his breath on the other party.
He planned to capture this demon alive and then interrogate him properly to get the answers he wanted.
With that thought, he summoned Cangyin and Hongyun. Dual swords in hand, he slashed towards the demon.
When Nan Shi’er saw those two divine swords, his pupils contracted in sheer terror.
He stumbled back several steps in quick succession.
“It’s you, alright! You are him!”
“Why can you still reincarnate?! Why aren’t you dead yet?!”
Nan Shi’er was the most cowardly among the twelve Great Demons.
He loved to act tough and put on airs in front of those weaker than him, but upon seeing Lou Yunxiao—the shadow of dread carved deep into his very bones—the demon’s entire world fell apart.
Lou Yunxiao stopped listening to his noisy clamor. The two divine swords turned pitch-black. Having dealt with Great Demons before, he knew deeply that his unique constitution, which could absorb demonic energy, was the ultimate nemesis of demons.
He closed the distance to Nan Shi’er at an extreme speed. The moment his long swords clashed with the demon’s claws, the demonic energy flowed smoothly into his body, instantly devoured by the miniature figure of his divine sense!
Seeing this, Nan Shi’er broke down and screamed, “How can you still absorb demonic energy?!”
“Aren’t you a Daoist cultivator? How can demonic energy entering your body not make you lose control?! What kind of monster have you turned into?!”
This demon, wreathed in black mist, standing five meters tall with elongated limbs and baring his fangs, was actually calling Lou Yunxiao a monster. No matter how one listened to it, it sounded absurdly comical.
The gazes of the surrounding demon eradication squad completely shifted as they looked at Lou Yunxiao.
They hadn’t expected that Lou Yunxiao, a cultivator younger than them, could reach such a high cultivation level in such a short time, to the point where he could even fight to a draw with a Great Demon at the Tribulation Crossing stage!
Moreover, it seemed there was a mystery surrounding Lou Yunxiao’s origins, one that scared the Great Demon into sprouting continuous nonsense!
As expected of the one who ranked first on the Heavenly Dao Stone Stele!
This level of talent was simply breaking the rules!
Surprised as he was, Cui Xuecheng didn’t stay idle.
He hurriedly organized the members of the demon eradication squad to retreat far away, preventing them from being caught in the crossfire of the battle between Lou Yunxiao and the Great Demon.
He also contacted the people who had fled Nantong City. Only after learning that they had transferred to a safe location did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Ning Xiaoxiao knew her own limits. When her demon-sealing talismans proved useless, charging into a battle of this caliber would only drag everyone down.
Although reluctant, she prioritized the bigger picture and refrained from interfering.
It was just that she found it somewhat strange. Why hadn’t Mingxin and Wugou, who had left with Lou Yunxiao, come back?
Or rather… why hadn’t her brother and Wugou returned?
Back then, when the three of them disappeared together, she had chased them all the way to the Liuyun Sect, but still couldn’t catch up.
Actually, at that time, she had wanted to ask if Mingxin was A-Ke…
After all, that person had called her “sister” back then…
Only her brother would call her like that.
The Great Demon exchanged a hundred moves with Lou Yunxiao. Seeing the divine swords endlessly absorbing demonic energy from his body, his terror mounted. He struggled and constantly retreated, but in the next instant, he felt as if he had plunged into deep mud. A terrifying chill invaded his entire body, freezing his movements!
It was Lou Yunxiao’s awakened Domain.
With the blessing of his Godhood, apart from possessing Chaos Qi, he had also awakened a Domain incredibly similar to that of the Snow Dragon clan.
Coupled with his Ice Spiritual Root, deploying it now completely crushed the early Tribulation Crossing stage Great Demon!
After all, although these Great Demons had been released, they fundamentally lacked the power of a Domain. Facing Lou Yunxiao’s Domain was just like how Gao Ze had previously faced the Domain of the God of Blazing Sun.
Even though their eyes could see and their divine sense could perceive that there was something wrong with the space, they simply found it hard to move!
Hard to dodge!
Ice crystals covered his skin. Nan Shi’er’s pupils brimmed with terror—a fear of unknown power, and a fear of Lou Yunxiao himself!
“You truly are someone favored by the Heavenly Dao! You are the nemesis of demons!”
“Didn’t the Lord say that after ten thousand years, it would be our world? But why did I run into you again now?!”
“The Lord lied to me; he was just using me!” Nan Shi’er suffered a complete mental breakdown.
He still remembered the feeling of being chewed up and swallowed by Nan Lou all those years ago. Although the Lord was later chopped to pieces and the twelve Great Demons were sealed in different stone steles to eventually resurrect, he couldn’t help but harbor resentment towards Nan Lou’s method of discarding them once they outlived their usefulness.
Facing the screaming demon, Lou Yunxiao showed no mercy.
Amidst the other party’s agonized wails, he expressionlessly severed Nan Shi’er’s four limbs.
Leaving only a head, he used Cangyin to pierce through the skull, pinning it to the ground, and demanded.
“Tell me about what happened ten thousand years ago.”
“Whose reincarnation am I? Tell me everything you know.”
Nan Shi’er was pinned down completely by Lou Yunxiao’s Domain.
His Sea of Consciousness throbbed with pain from the ravaging Sword Intent. At this moment, his eyes were filled with nothing but sheer terror, snot and tears streaming down his face.
Yet, his mouth cursed viciously: “That damned Nan Lou, he only treated me as a pawn to use me! Damn him, damn him, damn him…”
Lou Yunxiao furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to ask something else, he suddenly noticed that someone seemed to have tampered with his Domain.
Looking down sharply, he saw a spatial rift actually tear open on the ground!
A pale hand reached out from the rift and snatched Nan Shi’er’s head right away!
This trick again!
Lou Yunxiao recognized at a glance that this was the gimmick used by the Great Demon in the Demon Realm!
It was the power of a God traversing through different spatial dimensions!
Moving at his utmost speed, he slashed his long sword downwards, but he couldn’t keep up with the closing speed of the rift. In the end, he only managed to sever two of the opponent’s fingers, left to watch helplessly as Nan Lou took the Great Demon away.
The mystery from ten thousand years ago remained unsolved, and he had let the demon escape once more.
Lou Yunxiao’s face darkened to the extreme.
Gripping his divine sword tightly, he viciously chopped up the severed limbs of the Great Demon. Only after ensuring all the demonic energy inside was completely absorbed did he sheathe his sword. However, the lingering demonic energy swirling around him made others temporarily afraid to strike up a conversation with him.
It was Zhuang Yusheng who was the first to step forward, persuading him, “Brother Lou, that Great Demon’s accomplice is highly skilled. Him being rescued isn’t your fault, so try not to get too worked up.”
Lou Yunxiao had genuinely saved his life this time.
Zhuang Yusheng’s attitude was exceptionally good.
“If you hadn’t suddenly shown up today, our entire squad would probably have perished here.”
He sized Lou Yunxiao up from head to toe and asked, “Can you tell a brother what cultivation stage you’ve reached now? Hearing it might help me give up completely.”
“Mahayana stage.”
[…]
Zhuang Yusheng fell silent for a few seconds. He clutched his chest in jealousy, pinching it so hard he actually spat out a mouthful of blood, finally managing to catch his breath.
He felt there was no need to treat this heaven-defying monster as a rival anymore.
He couldn’t compare. He really couldn’t compare.
“Eldest Senior Brother,” Ning Xiaoxiao stepped forward.
She asked, “You said you went to the secret realm to investigate the truth behind the Liuyun Sect’s massacre. Did you find it out clearly?”
Lou Yunxiao nodded and replied, “I’ve found it out clearly.”
Ning Xiaoxiao tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, hesitating for two seconds before asking what she truly wanted to ask: “Then can I ask… where are the two people who entered the secret realm with you now?”
