Chapter 161: No Regrets in Firing the Spear
After circulating the Power of the Five Elements, a thin layer of Chaos Power manifested outside his body. Meng Su looked coldly at the laughing Wuyue and said, "Is this what you call the Demon Gu? It doesn't seem to be enough. I am useless anyway, and since all the geniuses of the Demon Realm are present, let all the suffering be borne by me."
Meng Su walked up to Liu Rushi, who was bound tightly by the Immortal Binding Rope, sighed, and said, "Such a beauty, why must she be a Gu?"
After saying this, Meng Su grabbed at Liu Rushi. The Nirvana Grasp, having been empowered by the Supreme Power, had advanced into the Supreme Grasp. With this grab, he pulled a moon mark from the center of Liu Rushi's brow. This was precisely the Demon Gu that Wuyue had planted in her.
Liu Rushi's body swayed, and a wave of dizziness nearly caused her to fall. Meng Su showed not a shred of tenderness, nor did he reach out to support her.
Liu Rushi swayed a few times before steadying herself. Then, clarity slowly returned to her gaze. Seeing Meng Su before her, she cried out in surprise, "Brother Meng, I've finally seen you again! Quickly, go save my Senior Sister."
Liu Rushi had originally left the Wilderness with Li Huan'er. Now that Liu Rushi had been captured by Wuyue and implanted with a Demon Gu, Li Huan'er certainly could not be faring any better. In fact, from the moment Liu Rushi appeared before him, Meng Su had guessed that Li Huan'er had encountered trouble. The only thing capable of bringing trouble to Li Huan'er was: a Supreme.
Meng Su looked at Liu Rushi blankly and pressed the Demon Gu mark he held in his hand onto his own brow.
In the distance, Li Bai and Shi Xiaoxiao cried out in shock. They did not know what Meng Su was doing. Was this a provocation? Had Meng Su gone insane? This Demon Gu utilized a faint trace of Heaven and Earth Power. Even if a Supreme encountered it, it was almost unsolvable. Meng Su wasn't satisfied with just having one; he had even snatched the one from Liu Rushi to add to himself.
Wuyue was left completely bewildered by Meng Su's brainless maneuver. She felt a vague sense of unease, and her scalp began to tingle.
Having finished this mysterious operation, Meng Su turned back to look at Wuyue. Wuyue saw Meng Su's inscrutable face and felt a tremor in her heart. She hurriedly drove the Demon Gu and pointed a finger at Meng Su.
"Kneel before me at once."
A faint trace of Heavenly Will Power was applied to Meng Su, attempting to drive his soul and Divine Sense, but the Chaos Qi circulating within Meng Su isolated this weak Heavenly Will. Meng Su remained motionless.
"Why is it not working?" Wuyue muttered. "I command you, Meng Su, kneel before me at once."
Wuyue increased the intensity of her manipulation of the Demon Gu.
Meng Su still remained motionless.
Wuyue grew anxious, and a trace of fear permeated her heart. She had begun to doubt whether this Demon Gu was effective. Regardless of whether it worked or not, she could not stake everything on this Demon Gu.
Wuyue transformed into a demonic mist. This mist turned into a streak of light, carrying the concealment properties of the mist within the Black Demon Sea. It seemed Wuyue had refined a portion of the Black Demon Sea's mist aura.
This demonic mist surrounded Shi Xiaoxiao, who was watching Meng Su nervously. A grayish-white palm reached out from the mist, grabbed Shi Xiaoxiao by the throat, and brought her under control.
"Kneel over here immediately. Otherwise, I will kill your lover," Wuyue said through gritted teeth.
At this moment, Meng Su moved. The Demon Gu could not drive Meng Su, but Shi Xiaoxiao could. In Meng Su's heart, Shi Xiaoxiao was like family. Her several attempts to save him at the cost of her own life made Meng Su value her life even more than his own.
Meng Su walked slowly toward Wuyue.
"Brother, don't listen to this demoness. My life is not worth Brother's dignity. Brother is a peerless hero. I can sacrifice my life for Brother; I will have no regrets if I die."
Meng Su walked slowly to Wuyue's side, bent his knees, and prepared to kneel.
Seeing Meng Su's resolute figure, Shi Xiaoxiao felt infinite heartache, and tears slid from the corners of her eyes. "Brother, if you do this, I will never have peace of mind in this lifetime."
In the distance, Ye, who had originally seen Meng Su's bizarre actions, was already extremely shocked. When she saw the originally mysterious and inscrutable Meng Su suddenly being threatened by Wuyue, and yet willing to kneel to Wuyue for the sake of Shi Xiaoxiao's safety...
Ye felt extreme shock in her heart. In the Left and Right Sects, including the entire Demon Sect, human relationships were extremely thin. This kind of care, this kind of trade-off, had shaken Ye's originally calm heart. Ye sighed, "This is a true man."
Originally, the Intent Finger Flick power on Ye had been eliminated, and she could have left, but she made a decision in her heart: she would not leave.
Ye watched Zhou in the distance quietly. Zhou felt Ye's gaze. Zhou was Ye's fellow disciple, but at this moment, Ye did not see a shred of fellow-disciple affection in Zhou's eyes. What she saw was: killing intent.
Ye knew that her identity had been exposed. If Zhou and Wuyue could not kill Li Bai, Shi Xiaoxiao, and Meng Su, they would launch a pursuit to kill her.
The secrets of the Left and Right Sects could not be known by outsiders. Those who knew or saw must die; otherwise, the leaker must die. This was the assassin's code.
Just as Meng Su's knees were about to hit the ground, Wuyue had already burst into wild laughter. "Haha, my Demon Gu, I finally know the supreme realm of the Demon Gu. The bonds in one's heart are the true King of Demon Gu."
Wuyue had suddenly attained enlightenment, so her heart was filled with wild joy. But the laughing Wuyue suddenly stopped her laughter, just like a quacking duck suddenly having its neck pinched.
A silver, glittering spear tip appeared from Wuyue's chest. A powerful killing intent passed through Wuyue's body. Someone had pierced Wuyue from behind.
Wuyue hadn't even had time to manifest her Demon Body before she was struck.
Wuyue's wild laughter suddenly turned into a scream. At this critical moment, Wuyue did one thing: she implanted the Demon Gu into Shi Xiaoxiao, whom she held in her hand.
Meng Su, who was about to kneel, suddenly stood up. A silver blade appeared in his hand, and with one slash, he severed the hand Wuyue was using to grab Shi Xiaoxiao. Then, he took Shi Xiaoxiao, turned a few times, and left Wuyue's control range.
As Wuyue was pierced by the silver spear, a person walked out from behind her. This person was dressed in black, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a lean build, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and sharp facial features. A heroic spirit emanated from within, making this person exceptionally handsome. He looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old.
Li Bai looked at the man in black before him and sighed in his heart, "What a handsome man."
In fact, Li Bai himself was quite handsome, carrying an air of scholarly refinement and a lazy weariness. But this man in black was exceptionally sharp, like a keen blade.
Wuyue transformed into demonic mist, broke free from the young man's silver spear, and hid in the distance, standing together with Zhou.
After standing steady, although Wuyue used her Demon Power to heal the wound from the silver spear, the Long Life Sword remained stuck in her chest. This nearly drove Wuyue mad.
Meng Su looked at Shi Xiaoxiao before him. At this moment, Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes were tightly shut, and her face was blank. Clearly, her Divine Sense was under control.
Wuyue in the distance hurriedly drove the Demon Gu mark. Shi Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes. Upon opening her eyes, an ice blade appeared in Shi Xiaoxiao's hand. This was a blade condensed from the Extreme Yin Power within the Yin and Yang Two Poles.
With one slash, she pierced Meng Su once again.
The young man in black who had just appeared in the distance exclaimed, "Xiaoxiao, what happened to you?"
The young man in black twisted his waist and fired his spear. A consciousness appeared between Heaven and Earth. This was a will of pressing forward, a will of not stopping until the goal was reached, a will of no regrets. Firing the spear with no regrets.
