This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 249 - 243: Old Cow Eats Tender Grass?

Chapter 249: Chapter 243: Old Cow Eats Tender Grass?

Cang Dong laughed wildly, then gazed somberly at the two unstable figures atop the mountain. With a wave of his hand, two jade tokens flew out directly from the rings of Su Youyi and her companion, returning to his grasp.

Although he couldn’t leave the yard that sealed him, the time spent in captivity wasn’t in vain. He had already found a loophole that allowed part of his Divine Soul to attach to the jade tokens and escape with them.

"The body is the foundation of everything. No matter how powerful the force is, without a body, everything is null and void. Both the Divine Soul and power will be erased by time."

"So, compared to what’s happening in the Icefield, what I really care about is right here..." Cang Dong, with hands spread and a relaxed tone, stared at the increasingly trembling mountain, awaiting the revival of his body.

"Who are you exactly!" Yu Gejing struggled to stabilize her posture, her heart already filled with rage, shouting angrily at the silhouette in the sky.

"Who am I? Haven’t you already guessed? The remnant of the Abyss suppressed by the sword, known to the world as Cang Dong!"

"I thought that if things failed here, I would turn you few into Abyssal vassals and use your bodies to escape the trap, but now it seems unnecessary."

Cang Dong slowly descended onto the mountain peak, standing where the sword scabbard had previously suppressed, earth and mud rising from the ground to encase his feet, the residual power from his physical body causing his aura to climb steadily.

"Now, neither your bodies nor your lives are of any use to me! The only value you have now is to use the power of your lives to accelerate the revival of my body!"

With a raise of his hand, a whirlwind carrying dust and stones formed sharp cones that hurled directly at the two severely injured individuals.

Su Youyi bit her teeth and gripped the longsword, already broken into two halves by the mountain’s Sword Array and the scabbard, trying to stand up and shield Sister Yu. Yu Gejing had the same intention.

But before they could act, the nearby sword scabbard had already run over and blocked the attack, as if to atone for previous sins.

"What’s going on?" Both Su Youyi and Yu Gejing were utterly confused, the fierce enemy just now was suddenly protecting them.

"Hmph, a mere counterfeit dares to block me?" Cang Dong, receiving power, snorted disdainfully, recalling how the sword inside this scabbard had once sliced him into three pieces.

The uniqueness belongs only to Sword One, not his sword, let alone a mere scabbard.

A giant hand formed of earth and rocks grasped the scabbard trying to escape, while the Sword Qi on it shredded the giant hand into bits, but still couldn’t match the continuous replenishment and repair of the giant hand.

A smile of pleasure appeared on Cang Dong’s face. He couldn’t defeat Sword One, nor the sword in Sword One’s hands. Now, he could only bully a counterfeit scabbard.

Cang Dong thought, how tragic was he? As a ninth realm cultivator, given an undying trait by the Abyss, now he could only bully a counterfeit scabbard manifested by the Power of Time.

Although it felt demeaning, this was revenge! The humiliations of the past would start to be avenged with this scabbard!

This is the advantage of the Abyss’s undying trait. Even if you can’t beat them, you can live longer than your opponent. How powerful was the Sword Immortal that once suppressed the world, standing alone at the gate of the Abyss? Now, he is but a handful of yellow soil.

The scabbard tried to struggle and escape, but under Cang Dong’s Daoist Skill, it appeared increasingly powerless.

"Creak! Creak!"

The sound of wood gradually being bent slowly increased, a painful moan from the scabbard!

"Ha ha ha ha... Huh?" Just as the scabbard was about to break, Cang Dong burst out in triumphant laughter but then didn’t hear the expected crisp breaking sound.

On closer inspection, it turned out that Su Youyi and Yu Gejing had combined forces to scatter his Daoist Skill, allowing the scabbard a chance to escape.

"Alright then, I intended to deal with you last, but you’ve chosen your own demise!" Cang Dong snorted coldly, disregarding the scabbard and planning to kill the two cultivators who had no more usefulness and could only serve as a bit of residual heat in death.

Cang Dong roared, and an endless frost appeared out of nowhere, spreading from Cang Dong to the surrounding heavens and earth!

The clouds above, the mountains around, the forests on the ground. Everything visible to the naked eye, all was turned into ice sculptures, still and motionless, freezing space and also freezing time.

In this azure-tinted world, Yu Gejing kneeled on one knee, supporting her right hand with her left, maintaining a man-high Array in her hands which kept that strange winter force at bay.

Behind her, there was worried-looking Su Youyi, and a sword scabbard flying back and forth.

"Sister, your arm!"

Although Yu Gejing wanted to hide it, Su Youyi still saw the blue spreading from the tips of her sister’s right fingers up her arm.

Yu Gejing bit her teeth without speaking, her left hand flicking as she repositioned an Array on her right arm, halting the eerie cold flow somewhat, but she no longer felt anything in her right arm.

"Don’t worry about me, you escape first. I’ll buy you some time!" Yu Gejing turned and pushed Su Youyi, urging her to leave while she stayed behind.

She agreed to this venture and it was she who brought her junior out. Thus, she felt obligated to take responsibility for her junior’s life!

"Don’t speak nonsense, Sister. If it was you, would you run?"
