Chapter 240: As Soon as the Cleaver Appears

Just as Xiao Lingwei was about to cremate them, the low-level demons returned.

No, it was a high-level demon leading them back.

That high-level demon's face was like finely carved jade, without any demonic markings, his pupils like pale purple gems, shining brightly. He was tall and towering like a majestic mountain, a full two meters high, his facial features resembling exotic treasures.

He slowly opened his voice, low and hoarse, as if a demonic sound from the Nine Abysses: "Human of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Xiao Lingwei's heart instantly rang with alarm; she could clearly sense the opponent's thick demonic power.

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, firmly fixed on Xiao Lingwei's face, with a hint of interest gradually appearing in his eyes.

"I give you two choices: first, submit to me and become my servant; second, die without a whole corpse, your soul and spirit scattered!"

Hearing him call himself "King," Xiao Lingwei immediately knew he was a demon-king-level demon.

If the one who came today were a demon emperor, she knew she would surely be unable to withstand him, but if it were a demon king……

Then that would be another matter.

Xiao Lingwei curled the corner of her mouth and let out a scoff: "I also give you two choices: one, fall into an abyss of eternal damnation; two, vanish into ashes and smoke."

As soon as she spoke, the demon king's face instantly darkened like the sky before a storm, his eyes flashing with icy killing intent, as if he wanted to tear Xiao Lingwei apart.

"Good, it seems you have made your choice."

No sooner had his words fallen than the demon king struck.

He condensed demonic power in his palm and launched an attack toward Xiao Lingwei.

Xiao Lingwei's expression unchanged, she raised her whip to meet the attack.

Boom!

With a bang, spiritual and demonic forces collided violently in midair.

One person and one demon fought fiercely.

Seeing this, the low-level demons quickly retreated to a safe distance.

And Lu Xiangxiang, hiding inside the house, felt a sudden jolt in her heart upon seeing the demon king's face clearly. She knew this demon king—Qu Ya.

As it turned out, Qu Ya, over seven hundred years ago, was merely a demon king.

After the monster and demon races invaded the cultivation world, Qu Ya became one of the demon emperors.

And in that battle over seven hundred years ago, Qu Ya did not die; instead, he was sealed within the Great Void Scroll.

This Great Void Scroll is still inside the Carefree Sect.

If things followed the same course as in her previous life, after she destroyed the Carefree Sect she would obtain the Great Void Scroll, unseal it, and make all the monsters and demons inside become her subordinates.

Among them was Qu Ya.

She was still quite familiar with Qu Ya's temperament.

Qu Ya obviously has taken a liking to Xiao Lingwei now, so he won't kill her right away; instead, he will first possess her, and once he loses interest, he will discard her and then kill her cruelly.

Lu Xiangxiang stared at the fierce battle between Qu Ya and Xiao Lingwei, thinking to herself.

After being transported to the demon realm, she resolved to immediately rush to Original City to find Qu Ya, hoping to join forces with him.

For she knew Qu Ya was easy to control, unlike other monsters who are deep and scheming, harboring absolute hostility toward humans.

Now, how should she approach Qu Ya?

Lu Xiangxiang's gaze gradually shifted to Xiao Lingwei.

She came up with an idea.

It could both avenge Xiao Lingwei and gain Qu Ya's trust.

But plans cannot keep up with changes!

At that moment, another figure flickered out from somewhere.

That person was disguised as a low-level demon; faintly one could see she was a woman, she gripped a long sword and directly swung it to slash at the demon king Qu Ya.

The demon king Qu Ya's face showed slight surprise; he quickly blocked the attack.

Xiao Lingwei tilted her head to look.

"It's me." The woman met her gaze, the corner of her mouth rising like a crescent moon, she smiled and said, "Ling Huya."

Hearing that, Xiao Lingwei laughed.

"Perfect timing!"

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked up at Qu Ya and launched an attack on him in unison.

Qu Ya's face darkened, his whole body bursting with strong demonic energy; in an instant, the demonic energy around him turned into giant hands, as he lunged toward Xiao Lingwei and Ling Huya, those demonic hands slammed down on them like great palms.

Boom boom boom!

Xiao Lingwei raised her whip and swept it, breaking through the demonic energy hands, and lashed it against his body.

With a "crack," the demon king Qu Ya's waist was whipped open, skin splitting and flesh torn, making him grit his teeth in pain.

Ling Huya raised her sword, her eyes sharp as she slashed at the demon king Qu Ya.

"Heart of the Saint!"

A golden-light-emitting giant blade slashed toward the demon king Qu Ya.

Qu Ya quickly condensed demonic energy to block.

A roaring sound rang out.

Xiao Lingwei and Ling Huya continued to surround and attack the demon king Qu Ya.

Qu Ya's strength was equivalent to early-stage Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators among humans; if he only had to deal with Xiao Lingwei alone, he could certainly capture her, but now he faced an extremely troublesome human opponent, catching him off guard.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiangxiang, hiding inside the house, saw Ling Huya suddenly appear, her expression shifting.

Ling Huya's appearance was indeed beyond her expectations.

Just as she was pondering how to respond next——

No one knew from which dark corner another figure suddenly appeared.

I'll lend you a hand!

A petite and lovely girl rushed out, holding a kitchen knife in each hand; her movements were extremely fast and very agile, and with a single slide, she slipped under the demon king Qiu Ya's pants in the blink of an eye.

The girl directly swung her knife at Qiu Ya's legs.

I chop chop chop!

Chop chop chop!!!

Qiu Ya, unable to dodge in time, was sliced by the kitchen knife; his lower leg was almost severed, blood spraying.

Qiu Ya darted away, his face instantly turning deathly pale, cold sweat pouring forth.

He saw the three formidable human women and decisively chose to leave.

Because his leg was about to break!

Only a bit of skin and flesh remained connected.

Don't let him get away! the girl gripping two kitchen knives exclaimed urgently upon seeing this.

Having said that, she took off after him.

Xiao Lingwei and Ling Huya naturally wouldn't let Qiu Ya off so easily.

The three of them immediately intercepted Qiu Ya.

Pa—

Xiao Lingwei whipped Qiu Ya onto the ground!

Qiu Ya let out a miserable cry, and his nearly broken lower leg instantly twisted into a grotesque shape.

The petite, lovely girl reacted extremely quickly; before Qiu Ya could regain his senses, she rushed forward and slashed at his neck with a knife.

Meanwhile, Qiu Ya's pupils contracted sharply; he instinctively gathered magical power to block the slash.

I chop chop chop! the girl shouted as she fiercely swung her kitchen knife at Qiu Ya, looking exactly like she was chopping pork!

Xiao Lingwei and Ling Huya never expected the girl to be so fierce, and her weapon was truly astonishing.

They exchanged a glance and then acted decisively.

Save me, your king! Qiu Ya, already at the end of his rope, gritted his teeth against the pain and shouted in panic.

Meanwhile, the lesser demons, seeing this, had already fled.

Only the followers who had come with him came out to surround and attack Xiao Lingwei and the two others.

But they alone could not possibly stop the actions of Xiao Lingwei and her two companions.

With a brief miserable cry, the demon king Qiu Ya thus ended his life.

Lu Xiangxiang, hiding inside the house, witnessed the whole process; she was so shocked she couldn't put it into words.

How could this happen?

Did Qiu Ya just die like that?

The girl wielding the double kitchen knives, she knows her.

Dong Jiao, from the Fourth Continent, her father and mother are both immortals of the Fourth Continent. Born to be noticed, she possesses extraordinary talent, standing out among the younger generation; her temperament is somewhat eccentric, and in dealing with people she often turns ruthless. The double kitchen knives in her hands are not ordinary magical implements but a divine artifact—Breaking Wind.
