Chapter 1249: Chapter 1184: Played for a Fool
However!
The worsening injuries of the State Preceptor are an undeniable fact.
Clang!
Rumble!
Ren Duxing suddenly turned around, the battle sword and the Demon Crystal reviving once more, carrying an unparalleled sharpness and demonic might, attacking the State Preceptor again!
He wants to pursue his victory!
In the distance.
The Heart Demon smirked playfully.
The current situation is indeed ever-changing; one can never predict what might happen the next second?
Confronted with two Divine Artifacts, the State Preceptor felt extremely heavy-hearted.
He thought Ren Duxing would really join forces with him to kill Qin Feiyang first.
Who would have thought it was all an act!
Now.
If Qin Feiyang chooses a side, undoubtedly, he will stand with Ren Duxing.
He didn’t care about Qin Feiyang.
But!
If Qin Feiyang hands Blue Snow to Ren Duxing, he is surely doomed!
Hence, a sense of retreat grew in his heart.
"State Preceptor, I am here to help you!"
At this moment, a hoarse shout echoed.
Following closely.
An elderly man with white hair soared to the top of the clouds, appearing in the vision of the three.
It was none other than Elder Qin!
"The situation indeed is ever-changing and unpredictable."
The Heart Demon mumbled.
But couldn’t comprehend how this old guy knew they were here?
At the same time.
Ren Duxing’s face revealed a trace of panic.
The State Preceptor, however, was overjoyed, pointing at Ren Duxing, shouting, "He is Mu Tianyang, quickly kill him!"
"Mu Tianyang, your death is here!"
Elder Qin’s eyes glinted with cold light, divine power erupting, rushing towards Ren Duxing like a landslide and tsunami.
"Damn it!"
Ren Duxing’s face was grim.
He was confident of killing the State Preceptor now!
But did not expect Elder Qin to appear suddenly!
Facing two Pseudo Gods, with his current state, even with two Divine Artifacts, it was impossible to win.
Ren Duxing surveyed the two.
Suddenly!
He waved his hand to recall the two Divine Artifacts, leaping in front of the Heart Demon, then swept up the Heart Demon, not looking back as he dashed downward.
"Don’t run!"
The State Preceptor and Elder Qin roared in anger, immediately chasing after.
"Hmph!"
"If I want to leave, you can’t stop me!"
Ren Duxing snorted through his nose, a strand of Divine Sense entered the Demon Crystal.
Rumble!
A terrifying gravity surged, rushing towards the two like a tide.
The State Preceptor and Elder Qin suddenly seemed stuck in a quagmire, their speed drastically reduced!
"This is..."
Elder Qin’s breath hitched.
The State Preceptor said in a deep voice, "Yes, that is the object of the former emperor, the Demon Crystal!"
"The former emperor’s object, falling into the hands of a devil, truly pitiful!"
Elder Qin cried out in lamentation.
While the two conversed, Ren Duxing opened a portal, sneering, "Go back and tell your emperor, I will return sooner or later!"
Having said that.
Ren Duxing then took the Heart Demon and the Demon Crystal, turned and dashed into the portal.
That gravity instantly dissipated.
The State Preceptor immediately activated the power of the Pseudo Gods, hurling it towards the portal, but it was a step too late.
The Heart Demon and Ren Duxing had been teleported away.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
The State Preceptor cursed repeatedly, furious and raging.
Mu Tianyang was a former emperor, an existence on par with the former emperor, letting him escape was like letting a tiger back into the mountain.
Elder Qin sighed, "Blame me, if I had arrived earlier, you wouldn’t be so severely injured, and Mu Tianyang wouldn’t have escaped."
The State Preceptor glanced at him, saying, "Don’t say that, if you hadn’t arrived in time, I would surely have died at their hands."
"They?"
Elder Qin raised an eyebrow, saying, "You mean Qin Feiyang has already joined forces with Mu Tianyang?"
"Yes!"
"I told His Majesty long ago to get rid of him quickly, but His Majesty is too soft-hearted."
"Now see, he has colluded with Mu Tianyang, banding together."
"Mu Tianyang was already difficult enough, now with this young bastard, it’s truly an endless aftermath!"
The State Preceptor said angrily.
Elder Qin knitted his brows tightly.
The State Preceptor’s gaze flickered slightly, suspiciously saying, "Speaking of which, how did you know we were here? Were you tracking me?"
"Tracking you?"
"You’re overthinking."
"I just felt uneasy because you hadn’t returned for so long, so I came to Crane Province to check."
"By the way, where are the Law Enforcers you brought?"
Elder Qin asked.
"They..."
The State Preceptor closed his eyes in pain, sighing, "They must have all died at Qin Feiyang’s hands."
This time he wasn’t pretending.
Because those Law Enforcers were his confidants, losing so many at once, how could he not be heartbroken?
Elder Qin patted his shoulder in comfort, "Don’t be sad, let’s go back and report this to His Majesty, and let His Majesty decide."
The State Preceptor nodded.
...
Meanwhile.
In Spirit State.
The Death Desert!
It was as scorching as ever here.
The wind howled, yellow sand filling the sky.
In the desert, traces of fierce beasts were hard to find, only occasionally could one or two human figures be seen passing by.
Swish!
Suddenly.
Above a vast dune, two silhouettes appeared out of thin air.
It was Heart Demon and Ren Duxing!
Ren Duxing put away the Demon Crystal, gazed at the desert below, and asked, "Do you know where this place is?"
"Of course, I know."
Heart Demon replied faintly.
Ren Duxing said, "We officially met here, right?"
"Yes."
Heart Demon nodded.
Ren Duxing asked, "How have I treated you?"
Heart Demon paused, then said, "Not bad."
"Then why did you betray me?"
Ren Duxing suddenly raised his head, staring angrily at Heart Demon, striking his palm toward Heart Demon.
This sudden change was unexpected!
But Heart Demon was not surprised at all, he raised his hand and punched forward.
Boom!
Ren Duxing was blasted away on the spot, blood gushing from his mouth.
"Dare to attack me without using Divine Sense and Divine Artifact, are you seeking death?"
Heart Demon sneered disdainfully.
Ren Duxing stabilized himself, glared coldly at Heart Demon, allowing the blood to scatter.
Heart Demon sneered playfully, then calmly said, "After fighting with the State Preceptor for so long, the Divine Sense you’ve restored over these years, there shouldn’t be much left, right?"
"I can still kill you!"
Ren Duxing said gritting his teeth, eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Then give it a try."
Heart Demon crossed his arms, provocatively looking at him.
Ren Duxing clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with an astonishing chill.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and sneered, "If I hadn’t given you the Elixir Scripture back then, would you have achieved what you have today? Is this how you repay your benefactor?"
"Gave it to me?"
Heart Demon laughed carefreely, then said, "Don’t misunderstand, the Elixir Scripture was obtained by my own abilities."
"What a joke!"
"If I had wanted to take back the Elixir Scripture back then, it would have been a breeze!"
Ren Duxing shouted.
"You’re the one joking!"
"As soon as I obtained the Elixir Scripture back then, I kept it in the ancient castle. Without my permission, could you enter it?"
"Guess not!"
"So, don’t utter those dignified words, it only makes you more ridiculous, more absurd."
Heart Demon said flatly.
Ren Duxing’s mentality was about to explode.
He held back his anger, nodding, "Fine, let’s not talk about the Elixir Scripture for now, just about in the Ruins. I spared you in goodwill then, why did you betray me now?"
"Betrayed you?"
Heart Demon paused.
Ren Duxing angrily said, "Do you dare claim that the State Preceptor and Elder Qin weren’t summoned by you?"
"Indeed, the State Preceptor was summoned by me."
"My purpose was simple, to make you fight till mutual destruction, then reap the benefits as a bystander."
"Unfortunately, I was too young and underestimated you all."
"Creatures like you who’ve lived for eons cherish your lives above all else, how could you really fight to the death?"
"But even though I didn’t resolve you souls, I still profited from this."
"Not only killed Dong Qing and the four sacred beasts, but also slaughtered sixty or seventy Law Enforcers from the inner hall."
"Though you don’t care about Dong Qing’s death, the death of the four sacred beasts should hurt you a lot!"
Heart Demon smiled mischievously.
Ren Duxing clenched his hands tightly.
The four sacred beasts were loyal to him, accompanying his battles across realms in the early years, not only were they his most trusted subordinates but also his partners.
Back in the day, even when battling Qin Batian, none of the sacred beasts fell, yet they now perished at Qin Feiyang’s hands.
How could he not resent that?
Heart Demon glanced at him coldly, and said, "As for Elder Qin, I’m also puzzled why he came."
Heart Demon pondered.
Could it be...
Suddenly!
His gaze twitched slightly, he willed, and the killing intent hovering inside the Qi Sea emerged.
This was precisely the killing intent Elder Qin had given him!
"Huh?"
Ren Duxing was surprised by the killing intent.
Heart Demon looked at Ren Duxing, said seriously, "Help me check if this killing intent is still connected to Elder Qin?"
At the time.
Elder Qin told him the connection with this killing intent had been severed.
But now, he couldn’t help but doubt if Elder Qin had lied to him.
Ren Duxing released a thread of Divine Sense, surging toward the killing intent!
But before it got close.
The killing intent suddenly burst forth a terrifying murderous aura, crashing toward Ren Duxing’s Divine Sense!
Heart Demon’s expression changed, and he directly went to the ancient castle.
As soon as he stepped into the ancient castle, there was a deafening roar behind!
Only to see the killing intent and Divine Sense collide, and a world-ending wave erupted, rolling in all directions.
In the blink of an eye.
This world collapsed, the desert sank, yellow sand soared into the sky!
Finally!
The killing intent shattered.
But Ren Duxing’s thread of Divine Sense also vanished more than half.
"You wait for me, I won’t let you off!"
Ren Duxing couldn’t help but roar.
Both his face and eyes showed overwhelming weakness.
Once the dust settled, Heart Demon appeared in the desert.
Looking at Ren Duxing in the sky, his eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, then he laughed wickedly, "Looks like your Divine Sense is really almost gone."
Ren Duxing’s face darkened.
Heart Demon floated upward, laughed and said, "Tell me, how much is left exactly? Ten threads? Five threads? Or just a single thread of Divine Sense left?"
Ren Duxing said grimly, "If you dare continue with nonsense, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"If you really wanted to kill me, you would’ve done it long ago, why wait until now?"
"I think, you might still need me for something, right?"
Heart Demon mocked.
If he had no value, back at the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, Ren Duxing would’ve surely joined forces with the State Preceptor to kill him.
"Hahaha..."
Ren Duxing laughed aloud, mocked, "You’re so smart, can figure everything out, but in the end, isn’t it Elder Qin who got to you?"
Heart Demon’s gaze suddenly darkened.
