Gu Junshi, seeing the opportune moment, landed directly between the two, pushing out with both palms. A chilling and sinister demonic power poured forth, like waves of giant beasts crashing against them.
Pfft—
Yan Jiujiao's chest felt as if it had been crushed by a heavy object, his blood surging and erupting in a mist of blood. Caught off guard, he was flung back by the surging demonic power, crashing to the ground and skidding for over ten meters. The young husband, however, unstable in the fierce wind, stumbled backward and landed on the ground.
He raised his eyes in shock, only to see a cold, alluring figure cloaked in demonic charm above him. She was like a solitary moon from the highest heavens, evil yet not monstrous, radiating an aura of profound Yin and malevolence.
After Yan Tianjiao managed to catch his breath, he turned to look at her as well. His phoenix eyes were filled with vicious bloodshot veins. Enraged, unable to control his emotions, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Who... who are you?"
The arena was only supposed to accommodate two people, so how could a third person suddenly appear?
Gu Junshi acted as if the young husband didn't exist, only looking at Yan Tianjiao with indifference and coldness.
"If you look at me like that again, I'll gouge your eyes out." She delivered this utterly villainous line in a remarkably light tone.
Yet, no one could ignore the dangerous warning it contained.
But Yan Jiujiao was not afraid, for he suddenly sensed something. He let out a hoarse, bloody laugh, "Demon, you're a demon—" He became like a lunatic, shifting between rage and delight, his moods unpredictable. His laughter abruptly ceased, and he lifted his sharp chin, staring at her with cold malice, "You came here, do you want to die?"
Not a demon cultivator, but a true demon.
Gu Junshi thought to herself, "You answered correctly, but there's no reward."
At this moment, the sect leader of the Void Gate, Tai Xuan, who had been silently meditating atop the Nine Peaks, suddenly opened his eyes. The depth in his eyes was as profound as the universe. "Demonic energy?" he murmured.
With a slight sensing, he captured the source of the lingering demonic energy. His vision, piercing through the void, fixed upon the arena of Liu Jiang Fusheng and Yan Tianjiao.
Gu Junshi sensed Tai Xuan's divine consciousness probing, but she feigned ignorance.
She landed on the ground and slowly approached Yan Tianjiao. To her surprise, he showed no fear. Instead, he sneered and struck the ground fiercely with his palm. The ice formations on the ground suddenly vibrated and transformed, becoming ice spikes, all of which hurtled towards Gu Junshi.
Gu Junshi slightly raised her gaze. Before her long eyelashes had even reached their midpoint, the ice spikes, now only an arm's length away from her, were stopped by an invisible wall of energy. They were annihilated into dust one by one.
She walked up to him, offering a dismissive smile for his previous insult to the young husband. "Mutated Ice Spirit Extreme, it seems... you're nothing more than this."
This was returning his earlier insult to the young husband, word for word.
Yan Tianjiao had never been so humiliated in his life. He was vengeful and would seek retribution for any grievance, no matter how long ago it occurred.
"Good, very good."
His beautiful face was contorted with darkness. He looked as if he were about to go mad. He clenched his fingers tightly, shattering the "Ice Edge," a magical artifact in his hand. The sharp fragments cut his fingers, leaving them dripping with blood.
"Ice Edge" had a beautiful name, "Glazed Ephemeral." If forcefully destroyed, it would temporarily freeze time for a brief moment.
At this moment, all states would become solidified. Only the holder of the artifact would not be bound by this. He saw the demon, so arrogant and believing herself to be in control of everything, standing there with an unchanged expression and posture.
He struck out with his palm, and a sharp ice sword slid from his palm, aimed precisely at her left ventricle, the location of her heart.
However, he was unaware that Gu Junshi was most proficient in spatial magic.
Therefore, his hope of ending her with a single sword strike would only lead to disappointment.
As his ice sword approached her, it grew weaker and weaker, eventually vaporizing like white mist before his eyes. Yan Tianjiao's eyes widened. Because it was a full-power strike, even though the sword was gone, the force of his thrust did not diminish, so—his hand pressed directly against her left ventricle.
Soft, yielding, and elastic.
Apart from lacking warmth, his hand felt as if it had sunk into a soft, cloud-like texture.
After a long moment of stupefaction, he realized belatedly what he had touched.
Gu Junshi lowered her gaze. Due to this demonic body not being her true form, her perception of the outside world was average. However, she had to admit that this demonic female body was indeed voluptuous.
"Have you touched enough?"
Yan Tianjiao was initially somewhat embarrassed, even flustered with anger. But when he met her gaze, so calm as if she hadn't even considered him, a surge of discontent and vengefulness rose within him. His slender phoenix eyes held sharpness, and he let out a proud, cold laugh, "Not enough."
He even grasped a little—
Pfft— in the next second, he was once again sent flying, spitting blood.
What was this called?
Weak, yet trying to act tough?
Liu Jiang Fusheng saw that this demon had ignored him entirely, focusing only on Yan Tianjiao, yet they didn't seem to know each other.
Looking at her retreating back, he felt that strange and familiar sensation return.
It was like the feeling he had when he encountered the female corpse at Laishan Stream. Although she had nothing to do with him, she seemed to be subtly protecting him. Especially that sarcastic remark clearly aimed at Yan Tianjiao: "Mutated Ice Spirit Extreme, it seems... you're nothing more than this."
He considered that if the vague, irrational feeling in his heart was a mere illusion, why did it keep reappearing?
Yan Tianjiao, resilient despite his injuries, stood up again. He stubbornly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His cold phoenix eyes glanced at Liu Jiang Fusheng, who stood there as if he were unharmed. He spoke with a harsh and resentful tone, pointing at him, "You demon have a grudge against me, constantly attacking me. What about him?" wap.kanshuwu.net
He had sensed it the moment she attacked him. He had coughed up blood, but that Heavenly Spirit Root was completely fine!
There was a saying, "People do not suffer from poverty but from uneven distribution." Yan Tianjiao's eyes were filled with malice, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from her.
However, before Gu Junshi could reply, the sect leader of the Void Gate had already set up a containment formation over the sufficient time. The Seven Commanders also arrived from the Nine Peaks, and all seven of them attacked her simultaneously.
"As expected of a demon. I never thought there were demon remnants in the cultivation world. To dare to cause trouble in our Void Gate, you will surely not return!"
"To trespass into our Void Gate alone, you are simply asking for death."
The Seven Commanders were equivalent to the seven readily available "enforcers" under the Void Gate sect leader Tai Xuan. Their strength was naturally not weak; they were all at the Out of Body stage, and united, they could even defeat a Nascent Soul initial stage cultivator.
Thus, everything proceeded smoothly, and they captured Gu Junshi, the demon.
After being captured, the next step was to subject her to torture and interrogation.
At this moment, Gu Junshi, bound by the "Immortal Binding Rope," said her lines mechanically, "I have fallen into your hands today. Bring forth whatever means you have, but I will not say a word." kanδん
Yan Tianjiao, who had already foreseen the demon's fate, almost lost his footing and slipped when he heard her first words after being captured.
