This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 135: The Great Sadness of Water

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Great Sadness of Water

"Who are you?" Liang Yi collapsed on the ground, the sensation of being completely devoid of any mana in his body was overwhelmingly hollow.

As he watched Luo Tianhao, the man in black with a deranged expression, Liang Yi asked in a calm and unhurried manner.

"Oh? You still don’t realize your situation?"

"I am Luo Tianhao, subordinate to the great Azure Dragon envoy, Shi. I’ve come to take the life that you’ve been entrusted with."

Luo Tianhao was somewhat surprised. Shouldn’t Liang Yi be showing a frightened and panicky expression? What’s with this unfazed look?

"Kid, you’re still too green to play the Empty Fort Strategy with me."

Luo Tianhao smiled without making a sound; he had heard that Liang Yi had very little experience in adventuring. Although he wasn’t like Su Youyi, who never left the mountain, according to their investigations, Liang Yi hadn’t really traveled much either.

He probably was panicking inside, but still trying to appear calm for him, as if he really had some trump cards.

He glanced unobtrusively at the corpses around him, which had no visible wounds and seemed intact. However, upon closer examination, Luo Tianhao sensed extremely terrifying Sword Intent rampaging within each corpse, obliterating their vital forces.

If nothing unexpected, this must be the trump card left to Liang Yi by the Banished Immortal.

Recalling that dreadfully powerful Sword Intent, Luo Tianhao felt a flicker of fear even now. With his experience, such Sword Intent could only be executed by the Banished Immortal. How could a mere Second Realm cultivator possibly use it?

"What do you call that move you just used?" Luo Tianhao asked as he inched closer to Liang Yi.

"I haven’t thought of a name yet, but since you asked, let’s call it ’The Great Sadness of Water’!"

Liang Yi stared at Luo Tianhao as he drew nearer, his witty remarks continuing undeterred despite the looming danger.

"..."

Luo Tianhao didn’t know if Liang Yi was genuinely foolish or feigning it. Couldn’t he see that Luo Tianhao intended to put him to death? And what on earth was ’The Great Sadness of Water’? Could there also be ’The Great Happiness of Fire’?

Thinking this over, Luo Tianhao halted his steps and carefully observed the extremely weakened boy before him. No matter how he looked at it, Liang Yi appeared utterly incapable of retaliation. Yet something inexplicable within him kept warning him to keep his distance.

"Could it be that ’The Great Happiness of Fire’ he mentioned?"

The more Luo Tianhao thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Chen Hua would never leave his disciple with only one life-saving Sword Intent; there might very well be two. Liang Yi’s unmistakably confident demeanor suggested that he was probably waiting for Luo Tianhao to approach before striking fiercely.

Liang Yi watched Luo Tianhao with an expression of complete puzzlement, as the latter went from a solemn look to a sudden realization, and finally to a "you little punk! I see through your trickery!" gaze at himself.

He didn’t know that due to his own words, Luo Tianhao had speculated to the fifth layer, while he himself had only thought of the first. All Liang Yi contemplated was that if Luo Tianhao dared to approach, he would smear Immaculate Sword Jade all over his face! There were no such elaborate schemes.

Luo Tianhao was a very cautious man; otherwise, he would not have tested Liang Yi’s limits with the lives of several subordinates. Therefore, he genuinely believed his own judgment, considering it very likely that Liang Yi still had one more strike in him, waiting for him.

But dragging this out was not a solution either. As a cultivator of the Fifth Realm, he couldn’t possibly be chased away by a Second Realm cultivator, could he?

As Luo Tianhao hesitated, he suddenly received a transmission from Shi Chengfei. When Liang Yi had slain a few of his men, he had reported the situation to the esteemed right-hand enforcer of the Azure Dragon, inquiring how to deal with Liang Yi, whether to execute him on the spot or to capture him.

Now, Shi Chengfei’s response had arrived.

"Bring him back? It seems that Shi intends to deal with you himself." Luo Tianhao was not surprised; after having followed Shi for so many years, he was all too familiar with his superior’s vengeful nature.

"Young Hero Liang, the Azure Dragon envoy wishes to see you. If you cooperate and refrain from resisting, it will be for the best. After all, the Azure Dragon envoy only wants to vent his anger; he wouldn’t mind if I were to sever your limbs before bringing you back."

Luo Tianhao licked his lips, a large cloud of black fog bursting from his hands, slowly enveloping Liang Yi.

"The Azure Dragon Envoy? Is it the one who trailed me last time and was nearly killed by master with a single sword blow?" Liang Yi was somewhat surprised in his heart. Luo Tianhao’s caution had actually given him quite a bit of recovery time.

Due to the combined effects of the Endless Dao and the Qinglian Creation, as long as he didn’t die, he could recover in an extremely short amount of time; such recovery power could truly be called a BUG.

Originally, he did not want to continue playing with this fool and had planned to directly use the Immaculate Sword Jade to blind his face and then go find his junior sister. However, since there was a change of events, Liang Yi also changed his mind.

Killing a cultivator of the Fifth Realm, how could it be more exhilarating than directly slaying a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Sixth Realm?

Last time, master said that the reason he failed to kill that right envoy of the Azure Dragon was because the envoy had countless other people’s Divine Souls hidden within his body. The right envoy of the Azure Dragon directly used a Secret Technique, scattering those people’s souls to fight for a thread of life vitality for himself.

Even so, master’s casual sword blow had severed his Immortal Path, requiring him to heal for half a year before he barely clung onto life at the Ghost Gate; unless there was an incredible fortune, otherwise, he would make no further progress in this lifetime.

This time, he’ll give him another blast of the Immaculate Sword Jade and see what he can use to deflect it.

As for the dangers, fortune comes with risks, where in the world is there absolute safety?

In his past life, there was an unfortunate person who decided to enter seclusion and chose a very remote mountain, the kind where one would not see a soul for years, opened up a cave mansion, and began his retreat.

Who could have known that two great powers would choose to duel to the death nearby, and the repercussions just so happened to cover that area, instantly killing the cultivator inside.

Moreover, Liang Yi was also confident in his own luck; his task for advancement just happened to lack a suitable target, isn’t this one being delivered to his doorstep?

He could have completed it now, but alas, he had a heart set on courting death.

So he simply did not resist, and after secretly leaving a message for his junior sister on the ground, he let Luo Tianhao envelop him in black mist.

"I wonder how the Saintess is doing?"

Luo Tianhao had quite some confidence in the Saintess, but that Su Youyi was not weak either; probably couldn’t kill her without assistance, right?

However, these matters were no longer his concern. He and the Saintess were not of the same faction. What was most important now was to bring Liang Yi back to Sir Shi.

Glancing in the direction of the Saintess, Luo Tianhao, not looking back, stylishly left with a large cluster of black mist and the subordinates guarding the array’s perimeter.

Wondering what Sir Shi will reward me with when he’s pleased?

Eh, feeling blissful!

······

After Wan Tinggui and Luo Tianhao left, the white mist that enveloped the area slowly dissipated.

"What’s this?"

Su Youyi picked up a fiery red Crystal Stone from the ground, puzzled. However, before she could delve into it further, the white mist around her had already completely vanished.

"Senior brother!"

Su Youyi hastened her movement technique, rushing urgently toward the direction where the Sword Intent had just come from.

But by the time she arrived, all she saw were five corpses of the Devouring Spirit Sect, with not a trace of Liang Yi.

"Is this left by senior brother?"

Divine Sense spreading out and enveloping the entire scene, Su Youyi finally found the Sword Intent message Liang Yi had left behind on a patch of grass.
