Pei Chuxia’s eyes widened.
She clearly hadn’t expected that the legendary Qiao Shoushu was actually a madman!
He spoke of a life-saving favor, yet now he said he wanted to kill her husband?
What a bastard—ten thousand years alive and he’s gone crazy?
No, wait!
Pei Chuxia immediately thought of a key point:
the blood of the ancient demonic body!
The ancient demons who practiced body refinement had blood full of vitality.
Qiao Shoushu was able to revive early by using the blood mist of the ancient demonic body possessed by Li Yao.
And after witnessing Ye Yu’s physique surpass Li Yao’s,
he naturally harbored other intentions.
It must be known, the legendary Qiao Shoushu was a Demon Emperor Realm powerhouse.
Logically, given the current level of demonic aura in the Demon Realm, he could not have awakened on his own.
Judging by the demonic aura surging around him,
it was clear that Qiao Shoushu was now at most Demon Lord Realm.
He wanted to use her husband’s blood to return to his peak!
Thinking this, Pei Chuxia immediately voiced her guess to Ye Yu.
Ye Yu instantly understood everything.
He looked at Qiao Shoushu again and said calmly, "You’re at Demon Lord Realm now?"
"Currently, yes. But after I kill you, maybe not anymore!"
A smile appeared on Qiao Shoushu’s face.
He did not hide his thoughts at all.
He even said with some satisfaction, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such striking young people like you are rare."
"If it weren’t for my current situation, I wouldn’t want to kill you!"
Ye Yu also smiled.
He then handed Pei Chuxia a Memory Stone,
transmitting in her mind, "If I haven’t come to you by tomorrow, activate the Memory Stone."
Pei Chuxia {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} was slightly stunned.
Before she could understand what this meant,
the ground suddenly vanished beneath her feet.
Her figure disappeared instantly.
When she reappeared, she was at the border of Niepan Province, ten thousand li away.
Meanwhile,
under Qiao Shoushu’s control, the three Demon Lords instantly arrived beside Ye Yu.
They were about to strike but then stopped.
Qiao Shoushu’s expression turned strange.
"You sent the woman away but did not flee yourself—why?"
Ye Yu replied calmly, "Where could I escape to? Surrounded by three Demon Lords, it would be nearly impossible to leave using a teleportation array."
"Besides, I don’t intend to leave."
"Killing you might be the better choice."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Shoushu burst into a mad laugh,
as if hearing the funniest joke in the world.
By the end, he was coughing but still shouted loudly, "Interesting. You’re really something. I’m starting not to want to kill you!"
Ye Yu changed the subject, "Actually, I’m curious—demonic aura just revived, so where did you find these three Demon Lords?"
"And how much combat power can they have under your control?"
Qiao Shoushu excitedly said, "Dead men don’t need to answer many questions. After you die, I’ll quietly tell you."
In fact, these three Demon Lords were Qiao Shoushu’s last fallback during the great battle ten thousand years ago.
He controlled their minds, hiding them in a secret place.
He had planned that if he failed, he would abandon his physical body and possess any one of them.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Sovereign had no chance to allow Qiao Shoushu’s soul to leave his body, beating him down until only a trace of life essence remained.
Thus, these three Demon Lords remained.
This time, with the demonic aura’s revival, Qiao Shoushu fully awakened.
His attention turned to Ye Yu, naturally recalling these three Demon Lords.
No wonder—demons able to cultivate ancient demonic bodies in this environment were truly not to be underestimated.
Hence the current situation.
As for how strong these Demon Lords were?
There was no need to guess.
Qiao Shoushu was a perfected Mind Demon, unlike those trash who controlled others poorly.
Demons under his mind control
could even perform at 120% capacity.
Because they had no fear of death—they only needed to kill!
In such a state, they naturally surpassed peak combat power.
At Qiao Shoushu’s raised finger, the three Demon Lords hesitated no longer and began casting spells and divine powers.
In an instant, the pitch-black night sky was illuminated as if it were daylight.
Countless silver raindrops fell, covering the entire Niepan Province Demon Hall.
At the same time, several barriers rose around, completely trapping Ye Yu with no escape.
The Demon Hall beneath his feet instantly shattered.
A giant demon tens of thousands of zhang tall struggled to rise from the ground.
Its aura was like black smoke as it raised a huge demonic palm to strike.
Faced with an attack from above and below,
Ye Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he looked ahead.
There stood Qiao Shoushu outside the barrier, hands behind his back, strolling leisurely like an old man.
His eyes were full of amusement.
At the moment the silver raindrops and giant palm were about to hit Ye Yu,
he suddenly vanished.
When he reappeared, he was behind one of the Demon Lords,
throwing him into the air to block the falling silver rain.
The body of that Demon Lord was instantly corroded beyond recognition upon contact with the rain.
Seeing this, the Demon Lord casting the rain immediately stopped.
Ye Yu flashed forward, seizing this gap to accelerate.
He gathered strength in his fist and shattered the barrier completely.
Without losing momentum, he charged toward Qiao Shoushu in the distance.
Ye Yu knew very well that to catch a thief, one must first catch the king.
Fighting three Demon Lords to the death was pointless; the most important thing was to take down the mastermind first.
However, Qiao Shoushu did not move but quietly watched Ye Yu approach.
This made Ye Yu feel something was off.
Sure enough,
when Ye Yu was one zhang away from Qiao Shoushu,
he suddenly felt a violent dizziness.
When he fully regained consciousness, he found himself in utter darkness.
In the sky above appeared a pair of enormous eyes.
Then Qiao Shoushu’s hoarse voice echoed around,
"Let me see the deepest fear within your heart!"
