Chapter 245 Heart Demon

Was Feng Ruoxing possessed?

No! This was still my heart demon!

If Feng Ruoxing had known all along that she could become a demon and save our lives, she wouldn't have let me take that knife for nothing.

This person wasn't Feng Ruoxing!

I shouted sternly, "Heart Demon, get out here!"

The Heart Demon Li Po appeared in the distance with a smile: "You saw through that so quickly. As expected of me!"

"I suddenly thought of a good way to threaten you with their lives."

"Pull out the knife and heal your wounds. I know the elixir Yunshang gave you can save your life. Even if you haven't pierced your internal organs, even if you've stabbed through your intestines, with the elixir, you won't die within three to five days."

"If you don't heal your wounds, Feng Ruoxing will be done for!"

The Heart Demon Li Po looked at me with a mocking smile, "You bet your life, but you're actually betting on your opponent's fear."

"Your masters were all desperadoes. They told you that those who dare to bet their lives often win in the end."

"The Saber Soul gave you an analogy: If two people are holding knives and slashing at each other, whoever can't withstand the fear of the blade coming at them will lose."

"You stabbed yourself to bet on my fear."

"Too bad! I am you!"

"Although you deceived me with the unintentional knife, the result is still the same!"

"You care about the people around you; I don't!"

I knew I had lost this round.

Facing an opponent who knew all my cards, did I still have a chance of winning?

I signaled to Ye Yang to put me down, pulled the dagger out of my body, and returned it to its sheath: "Little puppy, heal my wounds."

Lin Zhao quickly took out the elixir and pressed it to my wound, bandaging it for me. I also looked at the Heart Demon Li Po: "You're right, you and I are one. What I can do, you can do. What I think, you know. No matter what move I make, you can counter it."

"But I ask you, are you willing to accept this?"

The Heart Demon Li Po's eyes widened slightly as he waved his hand at me: "You go first! Let me think about it."

"Go!" I supported Lin Zhao with one hand and said, "Ye Yang, you continue to carry Feng Ruoxing."

Lin Zhao supported me as we retreated: "Little Orange's intel came through. She said we should go towards the Immortal Bridge. She said there's a way out there. Butcher Wang and the others have gone ahead to wait for us."

"Then let's go!" I walked while looking back at Ye Yang. He had already caught up with Feng Ruoxing. The Heart Demon Li Po had indeed withdrawn his demonic energy.

Lin Zhao also asked, "Why did the Heart Demon listen to you?"

I said, "I am him! What I think, he knows; what he thinks, I also know!"

"The Heart Demon may have existed for a long time, but why did he suddenly materialize? It's because someone else is setting a trap for me."

"If everyone who enters Taiqu Mountain can produce a Heart Demon, why are the three of you okay?"

"I don't believe you don't have obsessions in your hearts!"

"I'm sure that the person controlling the Heart Demon can't deal with more than two Transcendent Realm masters at the same time. He can only choose to defeat us one by one. Only after I die will it be your turn."

"What will happen after the Heart Demon Li Po kills me? He will be controlled. Or rather, his birth was meant to be controlled."

"Neither he nor I like being controlled by others."

"If he wants to break free from the other party, he must first let me win."

Lin Zhao was so angry that he wanted to punch me: "Are you stupid? You can think of so much, and you still stabbed yourself? Are you afraid we won't die fast enough with you?"

"That..." I said embarrassedly with a smile, "Actually! I just thought of it."

"When I saw Feng Ruoxing become a demon, I originally thought it was her Heart Demon being suddenly stimulated. I didn't expect the Heart Demon Li Po to appear. It was from that moment that I thought of it, the Heart Demon is being controlled by someone."

Lin Zhao said, "Can't you find that person?"

"That depends on how well the Heart Demon Li Po can cooperate with me? Or whether he can figure it out." As I spoke, a sharp pain came from my wound.

"This knife wound is really serious!" I covered my wound and said, "We have to hurry. If there's a safe place near the Immortal Bridge, I need to re-examine the wound."

Lin Zhao simply bent down and carried me on his back.

While we were still rushing to the Immortal Bridge, Butcher Wang and Yunshang had already reached the edge of the Immortal Bridge.

The Immortal Bridge wasn't a bridge at all, but a natural stone bridge maze formed on a lake.

From the lakeside, the Immortal Bridge on the lake was intricate and crisscrossed, high and low. Unless viewed from the air, it was difficult to see the whole picture of the Immortal Bridge.

However, no matter from which angle you looked, you could see the stone mound in the center of the Immortal Bridge.

Yunshang, holding the information, said, "That stone tomb should be where Wuchen is sealed."

"One of the Four Evil Monks, the Blood-Robed Monk Wuchen."

"He guarded the Immortal Bridge that year, single-handedly blocked a large army of the Art Dao, and the number of masters he knocked off the Immortal Bridge who died without a burial place exceeded a hundred."

"The masters who sealed Wuchen in the end also all died on the Immortal Bridge."

"Therefore, no one can say for sure who used what method to seal Wuchen back then."

"We need to find a way to scout the path!"

"You said that someone died on the bridge back then?" As Butcher Wang spoke, he pulled something out of his backpack.
