Chapter 585: Chapter 293 Pei Buku_2

Ye Zhuchan’s figure gradually faded away.

By the time Ran Qingchen regained her senses, she found herself leaning against the window, asleep in her own room.

The woman looked perplexed.

She subconsciously touched her cheek, looked at the tears on her fingertips, and muttered, "Why should I admit defeat?"

...

At the bottom of Huailan Lake.

The nine-tailed fox said in a mocking tone,

"You’re really quite wicked. I thought you were genuinely comforting that girl, but it turns out you were pushing her further into the pit of fire.

Watching the man she likes getting intimate with her sworn sister in the dream mirror every day, if it were me... my mentality would explode."

Ye Zhuchan laughed, "I was a bad woman to begin with, and only bad women can make men fall for them."

The nine-tailed fox chuckled.

Ye Zhuchan sighed, "Speaking of which, if it hadn’t been for Jiang Wan’s meddling, she would have been my junior disciple. Even so, my master still considers Ran Qingchen her disciple. Do you know her real name?"

"Yan Qingchen?"

The nine-tailed fox teased.

Ye Zhuchan gently shook her head, "She takes her mother’s surname; her name is Pei Buku."

"Buku..."

The nine-tailed fox paused, then said in a deep voice, "Buku, that is the deepest sorrow."

While Qu Hongling led the flying bird fiend away, Jiang Shouzhong continued trying to summon the Water Moon Dream Mirror and the Demon Venerable, but could never succeed.

It was as if the Water Moon Dream Mirror had vanished into thin air, completely beyond sensing.

Having no other choice, he took out the Zodiac Map.

With the Cow Demon Niu Niu gone, the only one he could summon was Rat Rat.

Jiang Shouzhong gently caressed the Zodiac Map, feeling the powerful Demon Energy it contained, and after a moment of contemplation, he said to Li Nanshuang,

"Leader, we’re still within the territory of the Myriad Phenomena God Sect, and it’s difficult to break out with just Hong’er while burdened with me. If Tian Duanjiang catches up, we won’t escape.

I’m going to forcibly absorb the Demon Energy from the Zodiac Map to raise my cultivation level. You help me as my protector, for at most half an incense stick’s time."

Jiang Shouzhong’s idea was nothing if not bold.

Without the protection of the Yin Yang River Map, if he absorbed too much Demon Energy, he would explode and die.

In that case, not even gods nor the netherworld could find a trace of his soul.

Li Nanshuang was a bit stunned, "Absorb Demon Energy? Are you tired of living?"

Jiang Shouzhong said sternly, "If we want the three of us to leave alive, this is the only way. The Myriad Phenomena God Sect’s resistance this time is unusual, and I suspect there’s even bigger trouble waiting for us."

"Don’t be reckless, I’m here."

Li Nanshuang hurriedly intervened, "Leader, I’m actually pretty powerful."

Jiang Shouzhong looked at the endearing girl with a gentle gaze, gently pinched her cheek, and said with a smile,

"I believe the leader is powerful, but if I’m not mistaken, the leader will have to pay a great price. I’ve been protected enough, now it’s my turn to protect you."

"But..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

Jiang Shouzhong stopped hesitating, sat down cross-legged, placed the Zodiac Map on his knees, and activated his Yuan Qi.

Streams of rich Demon Energy separated from the Zodiac Map and entered his body.

Seeing she couldn’t stop him, Li Nanshuang could only hold her worries and stand by with her sword, acting as his protector.

The Demon Energy within the Zodiac Map was different from others; because of the Zodiac Dharma Seal, the Demon Energy borrowed from demons didn’t pose too many side effects and could be completely absorbed.

But the problem was that the power of the Demon Energy was too fierce for an ordinary body to bear.

Jiang Shouzhong knew the power of the Zodiac Map’s Demon Energy well and intended to absorb it slowly at first, but within a few moments, the Demon Energy flowed into his body like a vast river.

It was like a water tank with a crack at the bottom, continuously gushing outwards.

Jiang Shouzhong clenched his teeth and persevered.

And his cultivation level rose rapidly.

Li Nanshuang, seeing the man’s pained expression, was extremely anxious but didn’t know what to do and paced nervously.

"So you were hiding here."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

It was Tian Duanjiang!

Li Nanshuang’s heart lurched, and she swung her sword toward the figure behind her, but just as the blade reached Tian Duanjiang’s head, it was held back by an immense force, unable to press down any further.

Tian Duanjiang’s expression was grim as he stepped forward.

With each step, a streak of blood oozed from the corner of Li Nanshuang’s mouth.

Bang!

When he was less than ten feet away from Jiang Shouzhong, Li Nanshuang was sent flying backwards and crashed into the gravel.

"I’ve been cultivating for over fifty years, and although I’ve suffered losses, being played by children from Heaven Desolation Boundary is still a first for me."

Tian Duanjiang’s face bore a faint smile, but his eyes were devoid of any mirth, showing a hint of savagery, "After I catch you and take you back, I’ll throw you into Elder Yu’s fishpond located on the second peak, and see if you still have any tricks up your sleeve."

Li Nanshuang rose to her feet, nailed her grave blade into the ground, wiped the blood from her mouth with her thumb, quickly drew a rune on the blade, then pulled out her sword with both hands.

"Slash!"

The girl cried out softly.

Suddenly transforming, like a dragon and snake emerging from the ground, she turned into a blade over ten meters long.

Where the blade pointed, space vibrated, carrying with it the force capable of shattering stars, pressing down fiercely on the elder.

"Grave Blade is the number one blade in the world; pity, girl, you’re not up to it."

Tian Duanjiang stood tall, unassumingly throwing a punch.

The giant blade shattered instantly.

Li Nanshuang spat out blood, kneeling on the ground.

The gap between levels of cultivation was ultimately the difference between heaven and earth.

"Old man, first, I will cripple your cultivation, then I’ll settle the score with Mr. Qu!"
