Chapter 112

Meng Su put the kitchen knife into his space ring.

The thunder and lightning condensed in the void lost their target and dissipated.

At this moment, Meng Su was already thousands of miles away from where he had disappeared. Meng Su sensed Shi Xiaoxiao's location, captured Li Bai's aura, and then turned into a meteor and flew toward Li Bai.

When Meng Su arrived at Li Bai's location, Li Bai was fighting a shadow in the void, while Shi Xiaoxiao lay on the ground, unconscious.

Clearly, the assassin named Zhou had found Li Bai and was using the shadow assassin to strangle him. But Li Bai, after the tempering of the Asking Heaven Sword Intent last time, was no longer the same person; the shadow actually couldn't do anything to Li Bai. Of course, Li Bai also couldn't kill the shadow.

Because that was merely a strand of Demon Intent imbued within the shadow.

Seeing Shi Xiaoxiao lying on the ground, Meng Su felt a pang of heartache. It was all his fault for carelessly falling for that strange Daoist's trick and disappearing for so long, causing Shi Xiaoxiao to be injured and unable to rise.

Meng Su was furious. With a turn of his thought power, the Black and White Demon Body appeared on his person.

A cold aura radiated from Meng Su's body; the left side of Meng Su's body was pure black, and the right side was pure white. With one step, he arrived before the shadow.

The long sword in the shadow's hand was resisting Li Bai's ten thousand sword intents. Deep in the distant Wilderness, Zhou was controlling the shadow assassin. He had already sensed Meng Su's appearance, but what he showed was not fear, but surprise: "This is perfect, I can wipe them all out at once."

Meng Su took a stride and arrived before Li Bai. Li Bai had long sensed Meng Su's aura, but he couldn't spare the time to greet him. The shadow assassin was extremely strange; it couldn't be killed or dispersed. As long as Zhou, who was hiding in the distance, didn't die, the shadow would never stop.

Meng Su looked up at the sky. A silver light flew from Meng Su's body into the air; it was Meng Su's Universe Needle. Meng Su released the Universe Needle, then imbued it with the aura from the shadow. The Universe Needle submerged into the void and began to search for Zhou's aura.

At this moment, the black sword in the shadow's hand was just about to pierce Li Bai. Li Bai was blocked behind Meng Su, so the long sword pierced Meng Su's chest. Li Bai was shocked, thinking Meng Su was injured. Just as he was about to speak to stop Meng Su, he heard a "clang"—the shadow assassin's long sword seemed to have pierced a hard object, emitting a harsh sound.

The place where the shadow assassin's long sword had pierced was exactly Meng Su's kitchen knife. That kitchen knife, condensed from the Demon Domain, now displayed metallic properties, and it wasn't ordinary metal. The shadow assassin's long sword was originally indestructible; even if it encountered resistance, the sword intent would invade the opponent's body. However, this strange kitchen knife blocked the shadow assassin's long sword, and even the sword intent was blocked outside the body.

Meng Su turned back toward the void; he had already sensed Zhou's location.

This time, Zhou was hiding more than two thousand miles away, controlling the crystal ball. Last time, he had hidden a thousand miles away and was discovered by Meng Su's Universe Needle, nearly being killed. He was more careful this time and hid further away. Two thousand miles was the limit of Zhou's ability to control the shadow assassin; beyond this distance, Zhou would no longer be able to control the shadow assassin to carry out the kill.

However, from the crystal ball, he saw Meng Su's hollow eyes. Because he had imbued the Demon Body Thought Body, one eye was pure white and one was pure black. These two eyes were staring fixedly at him.

Zhou was scared into a cold sweat. Last time, Meng Su hadn't been this strong. In less than a month, Meng Su had already become strong enough to lock onto him through his Demon Intent.

Zhou hurriedly controlled the shadow assassin to kill Meng Su.

At this moment, Meng Su appeared under the sunlight, so naturally, he had a shadow. Meng Su's shadow was activated by Zhou, and two shadow assassins appeared on the scene.

Meng Su smiled coldly, gripped the knife with his right hand, raised it, and slashed lightly at the shadow assassin before him.

A thousand miles away, Zhou discovered the rusty kitchen knife in Meng Su's hand. For some reason, Zhou didn't feel at all how ridiculous it was for a Demon God to use a kitchen knife to fight; on the contrary, he felt his heart pounding with fear.

Li Bai saw the kitchen knife in Meng Su's hand. He didn't understand what use this inconspicuous kitchen knife had, and Meng Su swung the knife without the slightest momentum, without blade intent, and without Demon Power, just like a butcher raising a meat cleaver to chop meat.

The shadow assassin had no emotions. Seeing Meng Su's powerless kitchen knife slashing toward him, he had two ways to respond: first, engage in battle; second, dodge first and talk later.

The shadow assassin's movements were controlled by Zhou. Since Zhou felt uneasy in his heart, he chose to retreat.

But a strange thing happened: his shadow assassin couldn't retreat. Not only couldn't it retreat, but it also walked forward rapidly, stopping at the most comfortable position for Meng Su to slash.

Meng Su's kitchen knife slashed onto the shadow's head.

With a "whoosh," the shadow assassin disappeared.

Meng Su had slashed the shadow assassin out of existence with one strike. Originally, this shadow assassin was unkillable, but now it had been slashed away by Meng Su.

After finishing off the shadow assassin condensed from Li Bai's shadow, Meng Su didn't pause for a second, turning to meet his own shadow. The long sword in the shadow assassin's hand had just reached Meng Su's back. Meng Su turned around, blocked the shadow's long sword with one slash, and the shadow, under Zhou's control, retreated rapidly.

Meng Su watched the shadow turn into a black meteor and retreat extremely far away, but he didn't pursue, only emitting a cold laugh from his mouth.

Li Bai, standing to the side, was unsettled by Meng Su's cold laugh.

The shadow fled a hundred miles away in an instant, then slowed its pace, looking toward Meng Su's location from afar.

At this moment, Meng Su was still in the same posture—raising the knife, slashing.

But there was nothing at all in front of Meng Su; Meng Su slashed at the air in front of him.

As Meng Su slashed down, the shadow assassin a hundred miles away suddenly shuddered, and the shadow assassin disappeared, slashed away by Meng Su's knife once again.

Meng Su's body shook, and he returned to his physical form. At this moment, Meng Su looked like he was seventeen or eighteen, his face pale, his lips slightly black, his eyes long and narrow, with black light shining in his eyes. The Demon Domain was originally a thousand miles in size; the shadow assassin thought he had escaped Meng Su's attack by hiding a hundred miles away—that was too naive.

Seeing Meng Su return to his physical form, Li Bai hurriedly walked up to Meng Su.

"Brother Meng, Xiaoxiao, she..."

Meng Su glanced at the scarred Li Bai and flicked a finger at him. The Reincarnation Lotus flashed at Meng Su's fingertip, and a massive amount of life force fell into Li Bai's body. The scars all over Li Bai's body recovered visibly to the naked eye.

Meng Su glanced at Li Bai and nodded at him, "Brother Li, thank you for your hard work."

Then he turned his head, stepped into the void, paused slightly, and vanished.

Meng Su traveled rapidly through the air.

All of this was seen by Zhou a thousand miles away. Zhou was terrified by Meng Su's power. Zhou hurriedly turned around, preparing to leave.

But a bright point of light appeared rapidly before Zhou. This point of light locked onto Zhou; no matter where Zhou tried to escape, he could not dodge the attack of the Universe Needle.

Zhou repeated his old trick, condensing his Demon Intent into his shadow, and then a double image appeared on his body. The double image separated from Zhou and met the Universe Needle.

Meng Su imbued his own thought power into his Universe Needle; he saw Zhou's actions through the Universe Needle. While traveling rapidly, Meng Su raised the kitchen knife in his hand toward the void and slashed toward the distant Zhou.
