Chapter 1248: Chapter 1183: The Sword That Turned Sides at the Last Moment!
At the peak of the clouds, above the sky.
Boom!
Clang!
Divine Artifacts and Divine Arts clashed incessantly, a terrifying storm tearing the starry sky apart, as if the scene of doomsday!
At this moment.
If an ordinary person entered the sky, they would probably be annihilated instantly!
Without Blue Snow’s protection, even the Heart Demon would not dare to go up.
Soon!
The Heart Demon broke through the clouds, standing at the peak of the clouds, overlooking a vast expanse of starry sky.
In a certain area of the starry sky.
Ren Duxing and the State Preceptor stood facing each other, their Divine Artifacts and Divine Arts colliding crazily, emanating a destructive aura, like huge waves crashing, engulfing everything!
Both were covered in blood, their faces filled with a sense of weakness.
The Heart Demon observed for a while and sneered, "It seems you’re both at the end of your tether."
Even so, the battle between Ren Duxing and the others was not something he could intervene in.
"Qin Feiyang!"
Suddenly!
The two also sensed the aura of the Heart Demon, stopped simultaneously, and turned to look at him.
"Don’t stop, continue fighting."
The Heart Demon crossed his arms, adopting an onlooker’s posture.
Ren Duxing said in a deep voice, "Dong Qing and the Four Sacred Beasts were killed by you?"
"That’s right."
The Heart Demon nodded.
A cold light burst in Ren Duxing’s eyes as he roared, "I should have never let you live!"
The Heart Demon disdainfully said, "Don’t boast, even if I stand here, you might not be able to kill me."
Ren Duxing looked at the Blue Snow hovering above the Heart Demon’s head, his pupils shrank instantly, unable to conceal his covetous gaze!
The eyes of the State Preceptor were also filled with greed!
"Birds of a feather."
The Heart Demon snorted coldly, looking at Ren Duxing, "By the way, let me tell you something, that dragon claw is already in my hands."
"What?"
Ren Duxing’s eyes froze.
"Looks like you care a lot!"
"However, whatever falls into my hands, don’t think I will hand it over again."
The Heart Demon laughed, a very radiant laugh.
"Pfft!"
Ren Duxing spat a mouthful of blood.
This was a fit of extreme anger.
It was a mix of anger and regret!
If only he had killed this fellow in the land of ruins, how could these things happen now?
The Heart Demon exclaimed, "Oh dear, don’t get too agitated, it’s not good for your health."
"I’m going to kill you!"
Ren Duxing roared angrily, dragging his bloody body towards Qin Feiyang.
"Your opponent is me!"
The State Preceptor stepped in front of Ren Duxing, his eyes gleaming with cold light.
"Huh!"
The Heart Demon was surprised.
This old bastard actually helped him?
What was going on?
"I’m helping you for the greater good."
"Mu Tianyang’s existence not only threatens us but also the Great Qin Empire; he absolutely must not leave alive."
"Quickly join forces with me to kill him!"
The State Preceptor stared fiercely at Ren Duxing, the killing intent in his aged eyes boiling over.
"The greater good..."
The Heart Demon was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and said, "I never thought you had such awareness."
"I admit there’s a bit of a grudge between us, but in the face of the greater good, I won’t hesitate. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have helped you hold him off earlier."
The State Preceptor said solemnly.
"I see."
The Heart Demon was suddenly enlightened.
He was initially puzzled as to why Ren Duxing didn’t go down to save Dong Qing and the Four Sacred Beasts, but it turned out that the State Preceptor was helping by stalling them.
This old codger wasn’t as unreasonable as he seemed!
"The greater good?"
"Haha..."
However.
Upon hearing the State Preceptor’s words, Ren Duxing laughed non-stop, as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world.
"Hmm?"
The Heart Demon looked at him suspiciously.
Ren Duxing said, "Qin Feiyang, don’t be fooled by his appearance."
"What do you mean?"
The Heart Demon frowned.
Ren Duxing sneered, "He is not as simple as you think; do you still remember Zhuge Mingyang?"
"Of course, I remember."
The Heart Demon nodded.
At the same time.
Mentioning Zhuge Mingyang, the State Preceptor’s pupils slightly constricted.
Ren Duxing glanced at the State Preceptor and continued, "Then do you know why Zhuge Mingyang assisted the Eldest Prince back then, and why he cared so much about the Eldest Prince?"
The Heart Demon said, "Zhuge Mingyang once told me it was due to circumstances beyond control."
"Do you believe that?"
Ren Duxing asked.
The Heart Demon shook his head.
He never believed it.
This question had puzzled him for a long time, but he never found the real answer.
And now, Ren Duxing suddenly brought it up. Could it be that Ren Duxing knows the real reason?
Ren Duxing laughed, "As you thought, I know the truth."
The Heart Demon narrowed his eyes and said, "Quick, tell me!"
Ren Duxing pointed at the State Preceptor, "Help me kill him, and I will tell you."
The State Preceptor panicked, hastily saying, "Qin Feiyang, he’s trying to sow discord; don’t fall for it."
"Haha..."
The Heart Demon laughed loudly, "You two say so much, just to get me to help, but with my limited power, it seems I can’t do much for you, can I?"
"It’s possible."
"As long as you give me Blue Snow, I have full confidence in annihilating him!"
"And rest assured, once he is dead, I will return Blue Snow to you, unharmed."
The State Preceptor said.
Ren Duxing looked at the State Preceptor and mocked, "Do you think he will believe your nonsense?"
The State Preceptor ignored him and said to Qin Feiyang, "This is the only way to eliminate him, for your ancestor Emperor Qin, for the safety of billions of lives, you should consider it carefully."
The Heart Demon glanced between the two, his gaze flickering...
Ren Duxing said: "Qin Feiyang, I won’t say those sentimental words, I’ll just tell you one thing, the secret on Zhuge Mingyang is enough to shake the foundation of your Great Qin empire."
"What?"
The Heart Demon trembled, is it really that serious?
Ren Duxing said: "Don’t doubt it. If you don’t believe me, I’m afraid before I even reclaim the empire, it will have already fallen into someone else’s hands."
The Heart Demon’s pupils tightened, thinking: "Master, from his look, it doesn’t seem like he’s exaggerating!"
He couldn’t discern the truth, so he asked Qin Feiyang’s opinion.
Qin Feiyang was silent for a moment, then said: "Neither of them is trustworthy, let’s just wait and see."
"Alright."
The Heart Demon agreed secretly.
Buzz!
Just at this time.
The image crystal stone started vibrating.
The Heart Demon’s eyebrows raised as he entered the ancient castle, realizing it was Fatty communicating with him.
"What’s going on?"
He looked at Fatty suspiciously.
Fatty said solemnly: "Dong Qing confessed."
"Eh?"
The Heart Demon looked down at Dong Qing, only to see her lying on the ground, already unconscious, as her appearance was completely disfigured, and there was an unpleasant urine smell on her body.
The Heart Demon looked at the White-Eyed Wolf and frowned: "Could this be your doing?"
The White-Eyed Wolf arrogantly said: "Bro, this is Holy Water, given to her, it’s her honor."
"Honor?"
The corners of the Heart Demon’s mouth twitched harshly, how could there be such a shameless person in the world?
No wonder Dong Qing confessed.
Encountering this guy, anyone with a firm mind would also collapse!
"What did she confess?"
The Heart Demon asked Fatty.
Fatty said: "Zhang Jin went to the Imperial Capital."
"Eh?"
The Heart Demon raised his eyebrows, asking: "What’s he doing there?"
"Ren Duxing sent him."
"Ren Duxing wants to obtain the Dragon Claw from the heartlands, but relying solely on the battle sword and demon crystal, he can’t get close."
"So, Ren Duxing sent Zhang Jin to the Imperial Capital to find Lu Xingchen and retrieve the Divine Bone."
Fatty said.
"The Divine Bone is with Lu Xingchen?"
The Heart Demon was surprised and suspicious.
"That’s right."
Fatty nodded.
"Unexpected, truly unexpected, such an important item would be placed on him."
"However, Lu Xingchen is now in Elder Qin’s hands, so even if Zhang Jin sneaks into the Imperial Capital, he won’t find any opportunity."
The Heart Demon sneered.
Fatty said: "But Zhang Jin must be eliminated."
"Exactly."
The Heart Demon nodded, grabbed Dong Qing, and left the ancient castle.
But the place where he appeared was no longer at the pinnacle of the clouds, because the exposed ancient castle would proactively sink.
He stood in the high sky, looking up at the firmament.
On the firmament, there was no sign of battle, indicating that the State Preceptor and Ren Duxing had stopped fighting.
Whoosh!
He once again flew to the top of the clouds, only to see the State Preceptor and Ren Duxing watching each other cautiously in silence.
"Do you want her life?"
The Heart Demon twisted Dong Qing in his hand, jadedly laughing at Ren Duxing.
Ren Duxing said indifferently: "It’s just a pawn, if you want to kill, do it, it doesn’t matter."
"Haha..."
"Such indifference, true to the former ruler."
The Heart Demon laughed at the sky, and suddenly clenched his five fingers, crushing Dong Qing’s head in front of Ren Duxing.
Ren Duxing’s eyes darkened.
To him, Dong Qing was indeed just a pawn, but the Heart Demon’s arrogant attitude made him very displeased.
"You all may continue!"
The Heart Demon glanced at the two indifferently, then turned around and left proudly.
He figured it out, as long as he’s here, the State Preceptor and Ren Duxing won’t truly fight.
Because neither of them wanted him to reap the benefits.
Watching the back of the Heart Demon, both Ren Duxing and the State Preceptor’s expressions were unpredictable.
Suddenly.
The two exchanged glances, simultaneously awakening their battle sword and jade pendant, sending divine might roaring to all directions, causing the starry sky to collapse!
Heart Demon was startled, quickly turned to look.
The State Preceptor coldly laughed: "If you don’t ally with me, then I’ll join with Mu Tianyang and send you to hell!"
"Exactly!"
"You have only one choice, ally with me or ally with the State Preceptor!"
Ren Duxing’s murderous aura surged.
The Heart Demon stared blankly at both of them, unable to comprehend how the situation turned into this.
"Make a choice now!"
The two shouted in unison.
The Heart Demon furrowed his brow, shaking his head: "You’re making it difficult for me, but I won’t give Blue Snow to anyone."
Implying that he wouldn’t support either.
If the two want to ally to kill him, he doesn’t care.
"Obsessed with delusion!"
The State Preceptor was furious.
The jade pendant immediately burst with divine light, shaking the starry sky, aiming to kill the Heart Demon!
Ren Duxing looked at the Heart Demon, regrettably saying: "I didn’t want to kill you, but there’s no choice, it’s your fault, die!"
He roared furiously, the battle sword shining brightly!
However, the crimson battle sword didn’t slash towards Qin Feiyang, but with a sudden mid-air turn, it targeted the State Preceptor while he was attacking Qin Feiyang!
"Damn it!"
The State Preceptor’s expression changed, hurriedly retracting the jade pendant.
He never imagined that Ren Duxing, who seemed intent on killing Qin Feiyang, would suddenly turn coat and attack him?
But now recalling the jade pendant, it appeared too late!
The battle sword whistled through the air!
In a hair’s breadth, the State Preceptor frantically dodged to the side, the battle sword descended, blood gushed violently, and the State Preceptor’s right arm was severed on the spot!
"Ah..."
He gritted through the intense pain and hurriedly retreated to a distance, watching Ren Duxing cautiously!
Whoosh!
The jade pendant transformed into a divine rainbow, returning above him, releasing strands of divine light, enveloping him in protection.
"What a pity."
Ren Duxing shook his head.
If the State Preceptor hadn’t dodged in time, this sword would have fatally wounded him instantly!
