Chapter 543 How Ironic
Chapter 543 How Ironic
"That altar is the passage for the demons to travel between the two worlds. We must close the altar to prevent the demon army from invading..." Pei Yun said in a deep voice.
"Let's go and take a look!" Luo Rufeng and the other person flew to the top of the Demon Mountain.
At the center of the Demon Mountain, a blood clot condensed by nine Demon Realm Stones enveloped the entire sky, and the surrounding area was filled with rich demonic energy. The totem in the altar completely lit up, revealing a vortex black hole, and the demonic energy in the black hole was the source of the demonic energy of the entire demon cave.
Even without getting close, Pei Yun could feel the powerful force of time and space. She tried to mobilize her own force of time and space to get closer to the altar, but the closer she got to the altar, the stronger the feeling of rejection became.
Not to mention her, even Qin Gu and the other two who were fighting fiercely with the Li Mei Demon Lord could not get any closer after being several feet away.
The succubus flapped her wings and her figure disappeared from the spot. The next second, she appeared somewhere else. Qin Gu's sword followed her closely behind her.
Chen Lingxi took out a magical instrument that looked like a treasure lotus platform. He threw it into the air, and the treasure lotus platform gradually grew larger, slowly turning and emitting a seven-colored light. At the same time, a golden Buddha figure appeared on the treasure lotus platform...
The Buddha's appearance could not be clearly seen, but one could vaguely make out that he was sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, with his hand threading a string of Buddhist beads.
At the same time, Chen Lingxi was holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. He was fingering the beads while chanting Buddhist scriptures that others could not understand...
"It's a sound attack!" Luo Rufeng glanced at Chen Lingxi not far away in surprise. Since he started chanting, the attacks of a large number of demon soldiers nearby became slow, and the weaker demon soldiers fell directly from mid-air.
Not only that, the Buddha figure on the Lotus Platform threw the beads in his hand out, and the beads immediately became huge, hanging in the air above the altar. For a moment, the evil energy in the blood clot was sucked into the beads...
The Li Mei Demon Lord took out a small magic whistle from his sleeve, put it to his lips and blew it. From the blood mass, demonic beasts appeared one after another, roaring and gathering together, forming a demonic beast tide that attacked Qin Gu and the others. At the same time, purple butterflies that seemed real and illusory also quietly appeared around the Li Mei Demon Lord and flew towards the Taoist people...
"This is..." Pei Yun swung his sword, but the purple butterfly did not disappear and continued to fly towards Pei Yun unaffected.
Her face darkened and she used the mind-controlling technique. The moment her consciousness touched the purple butterfly, it disappeared like a bubble, and the figures of Luo Rufeng and her mother Murong Qing appeared in front of her.
Pei Yun naturally would not be fooled by the illusion in front of her. She smiled coldly, and without a moment's hesitation, she swung the sword in her hand and slashed it!
As expected, an ugly bat-like demon beast was cut in half by Pei Yun. Pei Yun loudly warned the people in the Taoist sect: "Be careful of the demon lord's spiritual attack. Everyone, don't touch the purple butterfly. Kill it directly with spiritual power!"
As time went on, the fight between Taoists and demons became more intense, and the casualties on both sides increased.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Gu cut off one of Li Mei's wings with a sword of astonishing momentum. The fallen wing turned into black smoke and dissipated, leaving a deep sword mark on Li Mei's back, and blood soaked the entire back.
Li Mei's aura suddenly weakened. She looked back at the altar and said anxiously, "Why hasn't he come yet?"
Chen Lingxi noticed her actions and looked around at the situation. He frowned slightly and said, "Qin Gu, seal the passage as soon as possible. These cultivators from Beiqizhou can't hold on any longer..."
As the number of demon soldiers increased, the disciples and elders of the ten major sects no longer had the momentum they had at the beginning. Now most of the disciples' spiritual power had been mostly depleted.
Qin Gu's eyes became fierce, and he urged the sword in his hand to fly towards the altar: "Go!"
Wherever the icy sword touched, a bone-chilling chill spread across the ground. Seeing that the frost had already spread to the perimeter of the altar, Li Mei snapped her fingers, and a cluster of cyan magic fire appeared from her fingertips and shot onto the altar. The magic fire touched the altar and spread out in an instant, forming a countermeasure to the frost...
At this moment, Pei Yun set her sights on the Hanging Palace not far from the Demon Mountain. She had originally wanted to use her spiritual sense to check if the two demon clan accomplices were still there, but unexpectedly she saw an unexpected scene -
Ye Li pulled Qin Yun all the way and carefully avoided the forces of Taoism and the Demon Clan. They also deliberately bypassed the Demon Mountain and came to the Qianji Palace from another direction.
At this time, the Thousand Machines Hall was empty, and everyone gathered near the Demon Mountain. Ye Li came to the old man's room, and the defensive magic circle outside the old man's room had been removed.
Qin Yun followed Ye Li into the room without saying a word, looking around silently. He saw Ye Li turn the incense burner on the shelf, and the bookshelf moved away automatically, and a narrow passage appeared in front of the two of them.
Ye Li held Qin Yun's hand tightly and explained to him, "There is a teleportation array here that can directly teleport us to the outside world. As long as we leave here, we will be safe..."
As he spoke, he walked to the end of the secret room. There was only a desk in the secret room, and a formation plate was placed on the desk. Qin Yun did not see the teleportation array. When he was wondering, Ye Li came to the desk, took out a top-grade spirit stone and placed it in the groove of the formation plate, and then turned the formation plate.
But a moment later, a teleportation array appeared on the ground in the corner. Ye Li was delighted and did not notice Qin Yun's ambiguous expression. He walked quickly towards the teleportation array while calling out to the person behind him: "Qin Yun, let's leave quickly..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his body. Ye Li's whole body stiffened for a moment. He looked down and saw that his abdomen was pierced by a sword.
She turned around and looked at Qin Yun who was standing behind her, and a hint of doubt first appeared in her eyes. She had clearly sealed Qin Yun's spiritual power and consciousness, so how could the other party take out the spiritual sword from the storage magic weapon and pierce her body with it.
However, none of this mattered at the moment. A feeling of betrayal she had never experienced before completely broke Ye Li's heart. The pain she endured at this moment was more unbearable than the pain in her body.
The look of disbelief was clear on her face, and tears instantly filled her eyes, running down the corners of her eyes and falling silently. Ye Li stared at Qin Yun with a look of mixed love and hate.
"...Why?" he blurted out in a questioning tone.
Qin Yun pulled his sword back from her body expressionlessly, and watched the person in front of him collapse to the ground, spitting blood from her mouth. Her eyes were filled with sadness and despair, but they could no longer arouse Qin Yun's sympathy.
"...My parents were killed by the demons when I was born. My master took pity on me, feeling lonely and helpless, and took me in, teaching me to become a talented person. I received great kindness from my master and the training of the Extreme Sword Sect, but I betrayed the Dao sect and got together with a demon woman whose hands are stained with blood. This is a grave mistake, and I cannot repeat it. In this life, I promised my fifth sister that if you ever joined the demon clan, I would kill you with my own hands. Today, I will fulfill that promise..."
Qin Yun held the spiritual sword dripping with blood in his hand and looked down at the person in front of him.
"Then... what's between us? We were together through life and death in our previous lives, and we will never leave each other in this life. Have you forgotten all of that..."
Ye Li curled up her body, her heart aching as if pierced by thousands of arrows. She looked at the scene in front of her with tears in her eyes, recalling her previous life, when the two of them were also in front of the teleportation array.
The difference was that in her previous life, Qin Yun risked his life to protect her, allowing her to activate the teleportation array and escape from the Taoist sect's pursuit. But now, when she was about to activate the teleportation array, he killed her with his own hands. How ironic! How ironic!
"...I was wrong! Perhaps we shouldn't have met, shouldn't have..."
Qin Yun raised the sword in his hand. "Thousands of innocent lives have died in your hands. I can no longer deceive myself. You... cannot escape the blame, and neither can I. Don't worry, I won't live alone. I will repay this blood debt with you. If this life is not enough, I will repay it in the next life, and the next life, until I have atoneed for my sins..."
Having said that, he no longer hesitated, mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and stabbed Ye Li's chest with a sword!
At the critical moment, a powerful magical force broke through the wall of the secret room. A black figure with astonishing momentum teleported in front of Ye Li. He placed one hand behind his back and raised his left palm to slap Qin Yun's chest...
Qin Yun didn't even see the face of the person in front of him clearly, let alone dodge, and was forced to retreat uncontrollably by the other party's power...
A white shadow flashed behind Qin Yun, holding his back with one hand and waving his sleeve with the other to block the opponent's attack for him...
"Master!" Qin Yun looked up and couldn't help but call out when he saw the person next to him.
But Qin Gu beside him did not respond, nor did he even look at him. He just took a few steps forward and said to the newcomer: "Demon Lord Ye Ming."
