Chapter 99: Night

Meng Su smiled, "It seems your bodyguard mission is arduous. If you can keep us from dying, are you the only Demon Cultivator capable of protecting people from the Left and Right Sect? You've become famous."

Li Bai sighed, "Brother Meng is joking. I can only protect you until you reach Xuanwu Island; this is my promise. The Left and Right Sect kills without end. Unless you hide on Xuanwu Island for a lifetime, as long as you leave Xuanwu Island, they can still kill you."

Meng Su frowned, "In that case, the Left and Right Sect is also on my must-kill list. We shall see who wins."

Li Bai, upon hearing this, was filled with worry and said to Meng Su, "Brother Meng, you don't understand the strength of the Left and Right Sect. Legend has it they can kill Demon Venerables. They have great killing weapons—Immortal-grade weapons. I heard they once killed an extraterrestrial Demon Venerable. The key is that this sect is very mysterious, and almost no one understands its personnel structure, because when the Left and Right Sect strikes, they never leave survivors. Once, the Left and Right Sect killed thousands of people in a town, turning it into a river of blood, just because the target they wanted to kill was hiding in that town, and they vented their anger on the townspeople."

Meng Su smiled lightly, "I actually want to die; it just depends on whether they have the ability to kill me. You don't need to worry. To tell you the truth, I have died many times, but I just can't die. Isn't that infuriating?"

Li Bai and Shi Xiaoxiao saw Meng Su's indifferent expression and both shook their heads secretly. Shi Xiaoxiao was truly worried. Although Li Bai had not known Meng Su for long, he liked Meng Su's 'salted fish' personality. He drank and wrote poetry, and his personality was decadent; their personalities were similar, and there were very few true friends in the Demon Realm. He also did not want anything to happen to Meng Su.

As the sun went down, night soon shrouded this mysterious border town.

Today was the sixteenth of the lunar month, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. Moonlight like water poured quietly onto the earth. All kinds of insect chirps and frog calls made the whole world appear very peaceful.

The three found an inn in the town. At night, Li Bai had wine and meat as usual. Meng Su only needed meat. Shi Xiaoxiao was more refined and only tasted the dishes on the table.

At night, the three returned to their rooms to sleep. Meng Su sat quietly on the bed, a wisp of moonlight projecting in front of the bed. It was truly 'bright moonlight before the bed'. Meng Su thought of his own world. His father passed away early, his mother raised him alone, and he still had a little sister.

Since Meng Su was old enough to understand, he had heard many rumors that he was not born to his mother but picked up, and that his sister was the one born to his mother. But his mother's love for him was no less than for his sister, and even more. Not to mention asking about his well-being, she always saved the best things for him first, which often made his sister say that their mother was biased.

His mother raised two children alone, which was truly not easy. Just when he had finally graduated from university and was preparing to work to repay his mother, this incident happened, and then he arrived in this bizarre Demon Realm.

Meng Su thought of his mother's loving eyes and his sister's attached little face, and his heart suddenly ached. If he cultivated well, perhaps he could return to his original world.

Just when Meng Su's thoughts were flying, a faint killing intent invaded Meng Su's heart. Meng Su's thought power exceeded that of ordinary people, so he naturally captured this trace of killing intent.

Meng Su stood up slowly and said softly, "Finally here."

After saying this, Meng Su disappeared, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived in the air under the moonlight.

Meng Su stood under the moonlight, the moonlight pouring quietly onto him, making Meng Su look very quiet.

Meng Su looked ahead. Ahead, sword Qi surged, and a white figure flickered, twisted, and deformed. It was Li Bai's Illusion Body. Countless sword lights condensed from sword intent danced around Li Bai, and what was fighting Li Bai was: a Willow Leaf Blade.

That Willow Leaf Blade was as bright as moonlight, carrying traces of killing intent, but this killing intent was trapped by Li Bai's sword intent, struggling left and right.

The first to discover this killing intent was not Meng Su, but Li Bai. Li Bai cultivated the 'Phantom Moon Sword Art' and usually needed to absorb moonlight. In the world of moonlight, his spiritual sense was more than ten times more sensitive.

A Willow Leaf Blade danced up and down, leaving black shadows wherever it passed. The blade intent drained the surrounding moonlight, leaving black lines like silk threads.

Meng Su watched the Willow Leaf Blade quietly, the Thought Infant between his eyebrows flickering. A powerful thought power covered the surrounding hundreds of miles, but he did not find the assassin controlling the Willow Leaf Blade.

Meng Su withdrew his thought sense and watched Li Bai in battle. Li Bai had just advanced to Demon Saint and was an Intent Demon. That Willow Leaf Blade should be killing intent controlled by someone hiding in the distance, so its power was limited, and it gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Soon, Li Bai let out a loud shout, gathering all his sword intent. A huge long sword appeared above Li Bai's head, and then Li Bai pointed at the Willow Leaf Blade. The long sword, like a meteor, dragged a long tail and went straight for the Willow Leaf Blade.

The Willow Leaf Blade felt the danger and rapidly melted into the moonlight, and when it appeared again, it was already behind Li Bai.

One blade, carrying the will to kill, cut through the moonlight and directly split Li Bai in two.

After the Willow Leaf Blade split Li Bai into two pieces, it seemed not to have expected to succeed so easily, and paused in the air.

Just at this pause, Li Bai's powerful sword intent had already surrounded and stirred the Willow Leaf Blade, finally turning it into pieces of moonlight that melted into the moonlight.

Li Bai appeared in the distance.

That blade had split Li Bai's Illusion Body.

Li Bai put away his sword intent and took out his wine gourd, taking a sip of wine. At this time, Shi Xiaoxiao also arrived in the air, standing in the distance watching Li Bai and the eerie Willow Leaf Blade fight fiercely.

Meng Su looked up at the moon in the sky, a full moon, bright as jade. In the haze, Meng Su seemed to discover a figure on the moon.

Meng Su's thought power was fully activated. When he looked, the figure disappeared. But that figure was branded in Meng Su's mind like a brand. It was a young woman. Full of charm, in white clothes, with a graceful figure, dancing gracefully to the moon. A translucent white silk ribbon in her hand floated slowly with the dance.

Meng Su, whose thought power had been cultivated to such a degree, would definitely not be mistaken; that was a person. An assassin.

"Night." A voice as soft as cotton sounded in the ears of the three. This voice was gentle and soft, and the three could even feel the orchid-like breath blowing in their ears.

As this voice sounded, the moonlight in the air began to condense, condensing into a bright light person. The light faded, and the young woman walked over gracefully from the air. The young woman was tall, with a slender waist, wearing a small red bellyband, revealing a delicate waist, bare arms, and a long white silk ribbon wrapped between her neck and arms.

Below, she wore a bright red short skirt, revealing fair and slender legs, bare feet, and a figure so symmetrical it was almost perfect.

A long hair like a black waterfall was draped over her shoulders. The young woman had three-dimensional facial features, deep-set eyes, and bright red lips, actually carrying exotic charm.

The young woman danced gracefully in front of the three, then stood still slowly, looking at Meng Su with a cold and glamorous face. She pointed a delicate, boneless finger at Meng Su, "You are mine."

Most literary scholars are romantic. Facing such a peerless beauty, Li Bai naturally would not let it go. From the moment the woman appeared, Li Bai's eyes had not left the woman's fair face. All the woman's clothes were just right. Li Bai was not satisfied after looking at the face, so he continued to look down until he finished looking at the feet, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

Meng Su smiled, "I am right here; it just depends on whether you have the ability to take me away. The one named 'Zhou' yesterday was as arrogant as anything, but he couldn't kill me either. And now another 'Night' comes. What ability do you have?" ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
