Xiang Xueer frowned, her eagle-like eyes fixed on the fallen Feng Qingyang, then slowly turned to look at the Demon Lord. "Demon Lord, you have lost the Million Demon Army. Tomorrow is the day the Hexagram will be completed. Your beautiful dream is about to shatter. If you are wise, find a cave to hide in quickly, so we don't have to take action ourselves."
The Demon Lord's expression darkened immediately upon hearing this, and he slowly extended his hand to toy with his claws. "Hmph, truly unrepentant. I have given you many chances. It seems that if I do not eliminate you today, you will surely become a future calamity."
"That depends on whether you have the ability!" Xiang Xueer swung her Azure Wind Sword, and both sides immediately filled with Killing Intent. Feng Qingyang struggled to rise from the ground and roared at Xiang Xueer, "Demoness, get lost! I’m not dead yet; don’t pretend to be kind!"
"You should be the one to get lost!" Xiang Xueer retorted angrily at Feng Qingyang, her fury boiling over as she shouted, "Look at you, unable to stand in battle! What else can you do? If you're sensible, hurry up and roll away; don't get in my way!"
A few words left Feng Qingyang's face as dark as a burnt sausage, standing there speechless. Xiang Xueer glanced towards a nearby cave, worried about how Li Yunyang and the others were doing. She was truly anxious and realized she needed to end the fight quickly to find them.
As the battle was about to erupt, Lian Cheng Xue and her companions finally arrived inside the cave. As soon as they entered, they saw Ling Zhu standing there with a horrified expression.
"Ling Zhu, how did you end up here?" Lian Cheng Xue exclaimed in surprise as she rushed over. She noticed Ling Zhu's brows tightly knitted and her fists clenched tightly. Duck blinked at her and asked, "Hey, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
Gunaara swallowed hard and patted the two of them on the shoulder while staring intently ahead. "No, it's bad! You all need to look ahead quickly!"
At that moment, Lian Cheng Xue and Duck followed Ling Zhu and Gunaara's gaze and suddenly discovered a massive Demon Wolf crouching low, its Red Eyes fixed on everyone in front of it. Beneath its two paws lay Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian.
"Brother Li! Qingtian!" Lian Cheng Xue shouted angrily as she drew her sword and prepared to advance. However, the Demon Wolf immediately pressed down with its claws, causing both men to scream in pain as blood trickled from their mouths.
Lian Cheng Xue quickly retreated; this beast had taken two people as hostages, and they dared not act recklessly. A slight misstep could lead to Qingtian and Li Yunyang meeting their doom beneath the wolf's claws.
"Beast, don't harm them! Otherwise, we won't let you go!" Lian Cheng Xue whispered beside Ling Zhu in desperation, "What should we do?"
"I have been in this cave for the past few days. When the Wolf King came in, I had already noticed those two, but I didn't dare to attack. One wrong move could lead to disaster," Ling Zhu said anxiously.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!' The sounds of fighting came from outside. A few people looked up to see that Xiang Xueer was already engaged in battle with the Demon Lord. Seeing this, the Wolf King raised his sharp claws and struck down at the two beneath him, causing everyone to widen their eyes in shock: "No!"
'Pfft!' Two jets of blood spurted from their mouths as Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian's hands slowly fell to the ground, both dying on the spot. The Demon Lord in the sky let out a cold laugh; he had been waiting for this moment.
He then flew down and landed on the broken rocks above, waving his hand as two white objects were forcefully pulled out from Li Yunyang and Qingtian's bodies.
The two white spheres fell into the Demon Lord's hands just as Xiang Xueer charged over, raising her sword to stab at him. Ling Zhu shouted urgently, "Shirley, no! Li Yunyang and Qingtian's souls are in his hands!"
What? Souls? Xiang Xueer quickly retracted her Azure Wind Sword, staring at the two pulsating spheres in his hand. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and turned to look at the lifeless bodies of Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian. In an instant, she went mad trying to snatch the souls from the Demon Lord.
"You shameless bastard, return the souls to me!" Xiang Xueer yelled as she reached out desperately to grab the souls in his hand. The Demon Lord turned around and tucked the two souls into his sleeve, then looked at Xiang Xueer with a cold smile: "These two are very important to you, aren't they?"
Xiang Xueer stopped in her tracks, and everyone else stood frozen in place. Feng Qingyang did not expect that the Demon Lord would use such despicable means to take away their souls as leverage.
With the upper hand now in his possession, the Demon Lord casually placed his hands behind his back while the Wolf King flew to his side. He stroked the Wolf King's forehead and looked at Xiang Xueer with a strange expression: "What's wrong? Xiang Xueer, why aren't you as arrogant as before?"
Xiang Xueer's fists clenched tightly: "Demon Lord, tell me what you want for their release."
"Simple!" The Demon Lord glanced sideways at Feng Qingyang, immediately revealing a contemptuous smile: "You first go kill that old man, then commit suicide. One life for another; as long as both of you die, I will return their souls to their bodies."
Xiang Xueer turned to glance at Feng Qingyang, who was already heavily injured. This damned Demon Lord really knew how to play his cards; even if they both died, this beast would not keep his promise.
She let out a cold laugh, glaring at him with disdain. "Do you think I would believe your words? You won't keep your promises, just like what you did to Ling Zhu. I never believed her husband was still alive."
"Oh? Hahaha!" The Demon Lord burst into laughter upon hearing this. After a moment, he stopped laughing. "You are indeed very clever, Xiang Xueer. I have never misjudged you. Not joining my side is simply wasting your talent!"
As for that woman's husband, he was merely an illusion created by Little Demon; only a fool would believe it! With those words from the Demon Lord, Ling Zhu nearly fainted, realizing that her betrayal of her friends was nothing but a deception.
Ling Zhu pounded her chest in agony. Facing the two deceased companions, she raised her head and charged toward the wall. Fortunately, Gunaara was quick to grab her, or she would have likely crashed into the stone wall.
"Demon Lord, you are such a bastard!" Xiang Xueer finally couldn't hold back her curse. If it weren't for the souls of Li Yunyang and Qingtian in his hands, she would have rushed up to bite this scoundrel to death.
The current situation was truly dire for her. What should she do? Did she really have to give up the names of both of them? Seeing her in such a dilemma, Feng Qingyang stepped forward. "Do not waver; even if I lose the names of my beloved disciples, I do not wish to see the world suffer!"
Xiang Xueer turned to look at Feng Qingyang. Indeed, compared to the lives of the two individuals, the lives of the Common People were far more important. However, if she really had to sacrifice them to save the world, how was that any different from following the despicable Demon Lord?
The Demon Lord stared at the two before him. "What? One is your beloved disciple and the other is your lover. I didn't expect you to abandon their lives."
"Hmph!" Feng Qingyang snorted coldly. "When they joined the Exorcists, they had already made up their minds to slay demons and save the Common People. I believe they understand this and would make the same decision as me!"
The Demon Lord's expression darkened instantly. For the first time, Xiang Xueer and Feng Qingyang exchanged glances and stepped onto the same battlefield. "Demon Lord, your calculations this time are wrong. They are indeed very important to me; however, saving the Common People is our shared wish. Therefore, if they know I caused suffering for them in order to save the world, they would probably never forgive me even in death!"
With Xiang Xueer's words, everyone's gaze became more resolute. Tomorrow would be a day when Hexagram would align; the Five Divine Artifacts must be sent beyond the heavens. Thus, at this moment, there would be no compromise with the Demon Lord.
