I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 70 - 55 Gu Manzhi: I Can Only Feel Sorry for My Brother~ (Please Follow!)

Chapter 70: Chapter 55 Gu Manzhi: I Can Only Feel Sorry for My Brother~ (Please Follow!)

The night breeze blew, the hem of her skirt fluttered, revealing a section of her fair and slender calf.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the clouds, coating her in a layer of silvery glow, like a jade lotus blooming in the deep of night.

"You still think I can’t take you down?"

Gu Manzhi’s eyes shone with moisture, her lips slightly upturned.

Dealing with a man like Chen Mo, who had "suffered from a broken heart," beauty alone was insufficient; she had to prove her "affections" with actual deeds.

Through the paper figure, she had mastered intelligence and had long been lurking nearby.

It was always better to deliver help in the snow than to add flowers to brocade; only by taking action at the crucial moment could she prove her worth.

Then, she would appropriately express her concern, letting him know, "I care about you a lot."

The night, the moonlight, the beauty — what man could possibly resist such a perfect "atmosphere"?

"Consort Yu, what do you have that you can compete with me?"

Filled with pride and complacency, Gu Manzhi felt she had taken another big step in her plan to "turn Chen Mo."

Thus, she planned to pursue her advantage, with a lightly furrowed brow, she said softly, "Why would Consort Yu assign such a dangerous mission to you? The Demon Clan is very strong, beyond what you can handle, and if something happens to you, I..."

Her words cut off, the rest left unsaid.

Wake up, Chen Mo, Consort Yu is just using you!

"What, you’re afraid that if I die, you won’t get the Azure Darkness Seal?" Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, my life is tough. With the Essence bestowed by the Empress, I can’t die even if I want to."

With Vitality Essence and a powerful Divine Soul guarding him, he could be described as having a youthful version of an Undying Body.

But that Demoness had said she wanted to chain him to bed and drain him day and night, a fate worse than death...

The thought of that scene made Chen Mo’s face grow colder. He lifted his leg and walked toward the center of the battlefield.

"You just stay here and don’t move; I’m going to cut down that wretched woman."

"..."

Watching his furious departure, Gu Manzhi stamped her foot, her eyes filled with resentment.

"This blockhead!"

...

Boom!

Silver light clashed with black fog, splitting apart instantly, and the dispersing Qi Force shattered the trees around.

Shen Shuqiu stood with his spear withdrawn, eyes locked on the figure shrouded in grey mist, a grave expression on his face.

The Demon Energy covered a hundred steps radius, protecting his body with True Yuan, he was temporarily immune to the corruption of the Demon Energy, but having to manage combat as well, his consumption of True Yuan doubled.

Given the current situation, he could hold out for at most half an hour.

Could he slay this Demoness within half an hour?

Shen Shuqiu had no confidence.

"We are too far from Tiandu City, beyond the range of the Communication Jade. Even if the city detects something is wrong, it would be too late for them to arrive."

"We must escape one by one and bring back the news..."

Catching sight of Chen Mo approaching, Shen Shuqiu tossed over the Token and shouted, "You go first, head to Qilin Pavilion and find Elder Yun, encircle the Zhou Family first to prevent the criminals from escaping!"

Zhou Li trembled upon hearing this.

Turning his head, he saw Chu Zhuo had already "vanished," leaving behind only a mangled and unrecognizable mass of flesh and blood on the ground.

Dead?

Impossible?!

Chu Zhuo was a bona fide long-standing fifth-grade, yet he had been slain by a Sixth-rank Martial Artist of tender years... Chen Mo still seemed energetic and appeared to have strength to spare!

This was completely beyond Zhou Li’s comprehension.

Pfft!

The Black Gold Long Stick pierced through his body, boring a hole in his left ribs.

Lin Jingzhu’s eyes slightly darkened, "Daydreaming again? Are you looking down on me?"

The Black Stick in his hand trembled, sparks flying, creating a huge gaping wound in Zhou Li’s body, exposing his charred flesh and stark white bones!

Zhou Li, in pain, dared not be distracted again and rushed forward with his blade.

Both being of fifth-grade, his strength was slightly better than Chu Zhuo’s, but he was trapped by the Array, unable to wield his full combat power.

Lin Jingzhu was agile, jabbing him with the stick now and then.

Not knowing what kind of Magical Treasure that Black Stick was, it was versatile; with sparks and lightning, Zhou Li was bound to be worn down to death!

"A Sixth-rank taking down a fifth-grade, adept at Formation Path as well, what kind of monster is this Chen Mo?"

"But fortunately, there is Jue Mi..."

"If she can lead me to safety, detonate the talisman to bury the mines, then all evidence will be eradicated!"

Zhou Li, clinging to a sliver of hope, gritted his teeth and persevered.

Suddenly, a chill surged in his heart.

More than thirty years of swordsmanship honed his acute senses, and he felt something brewing.

Like the calm before a landslide or a tsunami, an overwhelmingly strong Sword Intent was being brewed!

...

[Special Event Triggered: Demon Slaying!]

Staring at the concise prompt before him, Chen Mo’s eyes were deep and profound.

Not far away, silver light clashed with the grey mist, and within a hundred feet radius, a true vacuum had formed.

Taking people’s heads requires finesse.

First, the enemy must be critically wounded.

Then, pay attention to the timing of your entry.

And most importantly, your skill must have a finishing effect!

Chen Mo’s fingers twitched, the Broken Jade Blade at his waist hummed and trembled.

The True Yuan inside his Dantian boiled like a frenzy, racing through his meridians, and even his breath became scalding hot and fiercely intense!

Compress, and then compress more!

The newly comprehended "Dragon Shocking Slash" is a transformation of "Blazing Eight Slashes" merged with the Azure Dragon Dao Yun.

It retains the characteristic of increasing blade momentum, getting stronger with each strike, and can also conceal the blade within one’s body, shocking the dragon with a single swing!

The longer the power is accumulated, the stronger the attack, and there is no upper limit.

In theory, as long as there’s enough True Yuan, even the heavens and gods can be cut down with one slash!

However, in real combat, there’s rarely a chance to accumulate power for a long time.

Chen Mo’s eyes locked onto that mass of grey mist, drawing the True Yuan from within his Dantian until it was utterly depleted, compressing it all within his meridians.

The quantity of True Yuan was too immense, the meridians could hardly bear it, and if not for the continuous repair by Vitality Essence, his body would have likely exploded and died already!

"It’s about time; prepare to meet my strongest slash!"

...

"Not bad, your strength is much greater than Zhou Li’s, you must be at the pinnacle of fifth-rank by now?"

"With such talent, you’re qualified to be one of my staff officers."

"I’ve decided to let you and that handsome young man from before serve me together, one in front and one behind, the taste should be rather exquisite~"

Jue Mi’s enchanting voice echoed in the air.

She seemed unrestrained and uninhibited, but her eyes were full of vigilance.

Shen Shuqiu was only a step away from fourth-rank, and difficult to deal with, the best strategy was to delay time, using Demon Energy to continually erode his True Yuan and exhaust him bit by bit...

Hum—

Just then, a humming sound rang in her ears.

She turned her head, and her pupils suddenly constricted into pinpoints!

Within the thick ink-like boundless Demon Energy, a white line appeared out of thin air.

Immediately afterward, dazzling brilliance occupied her entire field of vision, and the night became as bright as daylight!

It was as if heaven and earth were cloven in two, an inverted Milky Way swept through with boundless intent to kill!

"Die for me!"

Chen Mo’s voice was as cold as the bitter winter wind!

A strong sense of crisis surged in her heart.

Jue Mi didn’t hesitate, her body directly escaped into the void!

This slash cannot be taken head-on!

Escape!

However, Shen Shuqiu’s reaction was even faster, he raised the Silver Spear with his right hand, drawing his posture like a taut bow.

Bloodlust gleamed in his eyes, and he uttered a thunderous voice:

"Chi!"

Soul Stabilizing Spear!

The Silver Spear thrown with the force of thunder!

As if piercing through space, it instantly penetrated Jue Mi’s chest, pinning her onto the cliff wall!

Jue Mi wanted to repeat her old trick, to escape as a mist, but she found her body unable to move at all.

The Silver Spear had even nailed her Divine Soul in place!

Swoosh—

A slash descended from beyond the heavens!

A deadly silence enveloped the world; Jue Mi’s expression froze, her body like shattered porcelain, spread with webbing cracks, from which streaks of azure light burst forth!

Her lips quivered as if she wanted to say something.

The night breeze passed by, and her body disintegrated into powder, dissipating with the wind.

Only then did the hundred-foot-tall cliff behind her collapse with a thunderous crash, its cut surface as smooth as a mirror!

Amidst the falling dust, a transparent specter looked terrified, fleeing into the distance under the cover of night.

"He’s been hiding his strength all along, he’s definitely not a sixth-rank Martial Artist!"

"Run!"

All of a sudden, a strong suction force came, and the specter was uncontrollably pulled back, firmly grasped in Chen Mo’s palm.

The night was nearing its end, and dawn was breaking.

A ray of early morning light illuminated his somewhat pale face.

"Damn woman, you like to run your mouth, don’t you?"

"Speak up!"

Jue Mi: "..."
