Deep underground, in a cave, the blood in a pool of blood twists and turns.
The last blood-red figure slowly emerged from the blood pool.
Once his face became clear, it was indeed Li Motian.
Struggling to break free from the blood pool, Li Motian fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.
Its aura was extremely weak, lacking any trace of the power of a Golden Core cultivator.
However, Li Motian couldn't care less about any of that now.
At this moment, he felt only fear.
Who exactly is that person?
Li Motian recalled Lu Qing's sword finger technique from before, and °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° his mind still trembled, as if the sword intent that cut through everything still lingered between his brows.
Since obtaining the power of the demonic path, he never imagined that he would be defeated so miserably by a cultivator who was also at the Golden Core stage.
More importantly, he could sense it.
From beginning to end, Lu Qing probably didn't use his full strength.
"Damn it, after years of planning, we were about to succeed, and it was all ruined by some random guy who popped up out of nowhere!"
Li Motian's eyes revealed resentment, and his heart was filled with boundless hatred.
He had been plotting for a long time before gaining Zixiao and the others' trust and luring them to this demonic cultivator's cave.
Seeing that everything was progressing very smoothly, he not only obtained the magic weapon left behind by that senior demonic cultivator, but also captured Zixiao and the others.
According to his original plan, all he had to do was throw Zixiao and the others' bodies into the blood pool.
With their essence, blood, and soul, they can help him reshape his physical body.
Not only can one truly step into the late stage of the Golden Core realm in one fell swoop, but one's foundation and aptitude can also be transformed, greatly increasing the chances of achieving the Primordial Spirit in the future.
Unexpectedly, a powerful and despair-inducing figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shattering all his plans.
Now he has lost both his physical body and magical treasures, and all the cultivation he has painstakingly cultivated over the years has vanished into nothingness.
If it weren't for planting a seed of divine soul in the blood pool beforehand, allowing him to be reborn through the 【Blood Demon Reincarnation Technique】...
It is likely that he has truly died and vanished completely.
"Damn you, I'll remember you. One day, I will tear you to pieces, rip out your soul, and torture you endlessly!"
Years of planning have come to naught in an instant.
The sinister words, seemingly emanating from the depths of the underworld, echoed within the cave.
Li Motian was filled with extreme hatred.
At this moment, his hatred for Lu Qing even surpassed that for Qian Lingxiao and Gongshu Zheng, who had murdered his family and destroyed his hometown.
However, the next moment, Li Motian suddenly froze.
A faint voice suddenly said, "Is that so? I'd like to see how you tear me to pieces and extract my soul."
Immediately afterwards, unhurried footsteps sounded, and a figure slowly emerged from the darkness, arriving before the blood pool.
"It's you!" Li Motian's eyes widened suddenly. "You didn't leave? No, how could you have found your way here!"
Li Motian looked at the newcomer with disbelief in his eyes.
Because the man was dressed in plain clothes, and a strange raccoon spirit beast was perched on his shoulder.
It turned out to be Lu Qing, whom he had just been muttering about with hatred!
"This place isn't some inaccessible den of dragons or tigers, so why wouldn't I be able to find it?" Lu Qing said calmly.
"Or do you think that your poorly cultivated 【Blood Demon Reincarnation Technique】 can sever all karmic ties and deceive everyone's senses?"
"You know about the 【Blood Demon Reincarnation Technique】! Who exactly are you?"
Li Motian was greatly surprised.
The Blood Demon Reincarnation Technique is a secret of the demon race, and few people know about it.
The person before him not only knew this secret technique, but also seemed to be very familiar with it, which shocked him greatly.
You don't need to know who I am.
Lu Qing looked at Li Motian with indifference in his eyes.
"Originally, I was thinking that since your background was quite pitiful, I should spare your life, just cut off your physical body, and give you a slight punishment."
In retrospect, even those who are pitiful can have their hateful aspects.
Stubborn and unyielding, and even worse now, you are no different from Qian Lingxiao and Gongshu Zheng, who destroyed your hometown.
To become a demon who disregards life and arbitrarily harms innocent lives for his own purposes.
"In that case, there's no need to keep your life any longer."
After saying that, Lu Qing pointed again, slowly pointing out.
His words stirred up a storm in Li Motian's heart.
"You even know about my background? Did Zixiao and the others tell you? Who exactly are you?!"
However, Lu Qing remained silent, slowly pointing his sword finger towards the center of Lu Qing's brow.
Li Motian tried to dodge, but even at his peak, he was no match for Lu Qing in a single move.
Having just been reborn from the blood pool, its strength is now less than one ten-thousandth of what it once was.
How could they possibly dodge Lu Qing's sword finger?
Under the shroud of sword intent, he couldn't even move an inch.
Feeling the terrifying, desperate intent of death, Li Motian truly panicked.
Although the 【Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique】 is profound, it is not omnipotent.
Only those at the Golden Core stage can use it once.
In other words, once his body dies, he will truly perish, with no chance of recovery.
Under the shadow of death, Li Motian could no longer care about anything else.
His eyes revealed an overwhelming pleading look: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I promise I will never dare to do it again, please spare my life!"
However, Lu Qing's will was so firm that he would not be swayed by such a small plea once he had made up his mind to kill.
Without pausing, he gently touched Li Motian's brow again with his sword, amidst Li Motian's utterly terrified gaze.
The sword intent burst forth, and his newly formed physical body was simply unable to withstand it.
It shattered instantly, turning into ashes and disappearing completely.
That wisp of divine consciousness was completely extinguished, with no possibility of resurrection.
The cave returned to calm, and the surging pool of blood fell silent once more.
"Ah Qing, is this person really dead this time?"
At this moment, Xiao Li asked.
"Mm." Lu Qing nodded gently.
But there was a hint of a sigh in his eyes.
He realized something was wrong after he caught up with Li Motian on the ground and extinguished his life force with a single sword strike.
The other party possessed a trace of sentience and escaped underground in an extremely bizarre manner.
If it weren't for his keen senses, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover it.
However, he didn't investigate because he was treating the injuries of the disciples of the Qiankun Sect at the time.
Furthermore, through the information gleaned from certain notes on Li Motian using his supernatural abilities, he learned about some of Li Motian's past experiences.
Deep down, he still secretly wanted to give the other person another chance.
However, while healing the purple-clad youth and others, Lu Qing saw the demonic runes that Li Motian had planted on them.
However, he had changed his mind.
Because he recognized it as an extremely cruel and evil blood sacrifice method.
The remnant soul of the demon general he enslaved had mentioned this evil technique to him.
He immediately realized that Li Motian had completely fallen into the demonic path.
Everything he did was not just for revenge.
Or perhaps, revenge was merely an excuse for him to fall into evil ways.
Now, he has completely degenerated into a demonic cultivator who will stop at nothing to gain power.
So he bid farewell to the purple-clad youth and the others, not only because he didn't want to get involved with the Qiankun Sect.
Another reason is to completely eliminate Li Motian.
Because he knew that, given Li Motian's temperament, having just used the 【Blood Demon Reincarnation Technique】 to reshape his physical body, he would definitely plunder blood and food on a large scale in order to quickly recover his strength.
That would be a disaster for the human race in the surrounding territory.
"Perhaps, when you chose the power of the demonic path, it was indeed for revenge."
Unfortunately, you have now been corrupted by demonic forces and are completely lost.
Looking at the calm, still pool of blood, Lu Qing remained silent.
At this moment, he truly realized how terrifying the demonic path was.
No wonder the righteous path and the demon race are so irreconcilable enemies in this Tianyuan Great World.
After standing silently for a while, Lu Qing suddenly waved his sleeve, and the next moment, a transparent Nanming Li Fire emerged and fell into the blood pool in front of him.
Suddenly, a chilling scream rang out.
That seemingly calm pool of blood was being scorched by the Southern Ming Fire.
It twisted, screamed, and struggled as if it were alive.
Countless crimson flesh sprouts emerged from the blood pool, attempting to extinguish the Southern Ming Fire.
However, the Southern Bright Fire that Lu Qing unleashed with the Li Fire Cauldron was incredibly powerful.
Even a powerful being with a primordial spirit would probably not dare to let him burn them.
Although this blood pool was strange, it was still difficult to withstand under the refinement of the Southern Bright Fire.
Finally, after struggling for a while, those blood-red fleshy buds fell silent.
The entire pool of blood was rapidly evaporated and slowly dried up.
But Lu Qing did not give up.
With a casual wave of his hand, more Southern Ming Fire appeared from the void and landed in various parts of this underground cave.
The Southern Bright Fire possesses immense power, capable of burning anything, making it the nemesis of these demonic and treacherous creatures.
Soon, the entire cave was ablaze.
When Lu Qing returned to the ground, the sun was already setting.
"Aqing, where are we going now?"
"Go east. I heard from Old Master Qiao that it's in Tian Shu Continent in the east."
There is a vast sacred mountain, containing many secret realms and opportunities.
It also attracted many sectarian forces and countless cultivators.
I need sufficient techniques as references before I can create subsequent techniques for my cultivation method.
Let's go there and see if we can find any opportunities.
Lu Qing said.
"Tian Shu Continent?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li's eyes also revealed an excited expression.
Earlier, in that convoy, when Old Man Qiao described the sacred mountain of Tian Shuzhou, it was lying in Lu Qing's arms listening.
It became incredibly excited when it heard where it was going.
After all, according to Old Man Qiao, that sacred mountain was full of treasures.
You might just find a rare treasure by kicking a stone on the side of the road.
And how could the Black Night Spirit Fox, which has a special sensitivity to treasures, not be excited?
"Ah Qing, let's hurry on our way. I heard that Tian Shu Continent is still quite far from here!"
"Okay, let's set off now."
Lu Qing smiled, then transformed into a streak of light and sped off to the east.
This time, however, it was a true departure.
Just as Lu Qing was on his way to the Eastern Tian Shu Continent.
On the other side, the purple-clad youth and his group, after rushing all the way, finally returned to the Qiankun Sect.
Upon returning to the sect, Senior Sister Ye did not immediately report Li Motian's matter.
Instead, after giving some instructions to the young man in purple and the others, he went to find his master.
"What did you say? Li Motian is a demonic cultivator, and he has ulterior motives for inviting you on this trip?"
He was Ye Shijie's master, one of the Supreme Elders of the Qiankun Sect, Daoist Mo Xuan.
He was greatly surprised upon hearing her report.
"That's right, Li Motian has already fallen into the demonic path. His demonic skills are strange and powerful. We disciples are no match for him at all."
If it weren't for the fact that there's always a way out, a powerful and extraordinary person happened to pass by and saved us.
"I'm afraid we disciples have become provisions for Li Motian's demonic path, and will never be able to return to see you, Master."
Senior Sister Ye still feels lingering fear when she recalls what happened that day.
"Tell me in detail what exactly happened!"
Mo Xuan Daoist hurriedly said.
"It's like this, Master. That day, we went on a journey at Li Motian's invitation..."
"...Master, look, Li Motian's body is right here."
After Senior Sister Ye recounted in great detail what had happened in the past few days,
Then, he took out Li Motian's corpse from his storage magic treasure.
"He really has cultivated demonic arts!"
When they saw Li Motian's drastically altered corpse and the lingering demonic aura on his body...
Daoist Mo Xuan understood immediately that Li Motian had indeed fallen into the demonic path and become a demonic cultivator.
But this only made him feel more dignified.
He asked Senior Sister Ye, "You haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"
"The disciples and others have just returned and have not yet reported this matter to the sect. I have also instructed Zixiao and the others not to announce this matter for the time being."
"Very good, you did the right thing."
Master Mo Xuan nodded in satisfaction; his disciple was indeed quick-witted.
He then looked at Li Motian's corpse and fell silent, his expression shifting inscrutable, as if he were deep in thought.
“Master, we are just friends with Li Motian, and we don’t usually live together. It’s understandable that we didn’t realize he was practicing demonic arts.”
Elder Ke Qian Ce, as Li Motian's master, possessed unfathomable cultivation.
Li Motian was his prized disciple, and he usually served by his side.
"Can't he see it either?"
Seeing that their master had not spoken for a long time, Senior Sister Ye couldn't help but speak.
"Be careful what you say! These words should not be spoken carelessly."
Mo Xuan Daoist was startled and immediately shouted softly.
Senior Sister Ye paused for a moment, then said defiantly, "Master, am I wrong?"
Seeing his beloved disciple's unconvinced expression, Daoist Mo Xuan sighed.
He instructed, "This matter is of great importance. In short, after you leave, you must not speak carelessly. Just leave everything to your master, do you understand?"
Seeing her master's serious expression, Senior Sister Ye knew that things were probably more serious than she had imagined.
He immediately nodded: "Disciple understands."
Seeing that his beloved disciple had agreed seriously, Daoist Mo Xuan was finally relieved.
He continued to look at Li Motian's corpse, and suddenly, a thought struck him.
"By the way, the superhuman you mentioned who saved you killed Li Motian with just one move?"
"good."
Senior Sister Ye pointed to the sword mark on Li Motian's forehead.
"That Fellow Daoist Chen killed Li Motian with just one move, the Sword Finger."
