Inner Demons

Chapter 110: Golden Inlaid Blade

The Great Demon didn't seem to take Lingkongzi's words to heart, so Lingkongzi shook her head slightly: "Stubborn and dull."

Here she knew demons were different from ordinary people after all. Even if looking like humans, intelligent and alert, a bit of innate bestiality was hard to remove.

For example, a cat focusing intently on something, if you made some noise elsewhere, put a small toy enough to attract its attention, it would immediately turn and run over, throwing the previous matter to the back of its mind.

Great demons like Ninth Prince, feeling their strength tyrannical on one hand, and bestiality not removed on the other, Lingkongzi just treated it as his bestiality acting up, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Instead turned to Li Yunxin: "You can see."

“This is the power of my Daoist Orthodoxy magical artifact. Within a city, fate and karma severed. His life and death, already grasped in my hands.”

“You are a good painter, a Painting Daoist who can create precious scrolls. I tolerated you doing many things in the city before, exactly because of this. When you were in Jasper Flower Tower, said very well—you are very useful.”

“Those things you told me before—such as sacrificing body for him—I half believed half doubted. Saying these to you at this moment, is just saying, once you still have some other thoughts, want to continue living, cultivating, then, don't do stupid things. Here with me, is leaving a glimmer of life for you.”

“First time giving you chance, was in Qiao residence. Second time giving you chance, was in Jasper Flower Tower. Now, is third time giving you chance. I have good feelings for you, don't wish you end up with form and spirit extinguished. So I watched you do those things, tolerated until now, is for you to see what my Daoist Orthodoxy can do, and in front of such power, how powerless your schemes are.”

But Li Yunxin only sat with hair scattered, sword horizontal on knees. Because little finger wound lost too much blood, his lips were somewhat pale. He opened eyes, looked up slightly at Liu Ling, long eyelashes trembling, whole person also trembling gently.

Looked at her for a while, before saying only one difficult sentence: "Believe it or not."

Liu Ling looked at him for a while, before sighing low: "There is one more thing, do you know? I had someone tell Yin Pingzhi, Daoist Liu, is your Dao Heart. He naturally doesn't understand what Dao Heart is, but knows is a person 'if removed, can make you live worse than death'."

“Regardless what method you use, true death or fake death. The day after you 'die', Yin Pingzhi will come to remove him. If you really have will to die, then I worried too much, want him to accompany you. If you indeed are planning... are you willing to lose Dao Heart, or this tribulation?”

Li Yunxin closed eyes thought for a while, opened again: "Seeing you originally a little white flower, how become a scheming bitch too. Because I said in Jasper Flower Tower he might be my Dao Heart or Dao Tribulation... so kept in mind."

“But... you always say Daoist Orthodoxy very badass. Methods to screw me naturally thousands. Why bother him. Actually you still want to do something else?”

Liu Ling seemed to smile slightly: "You are a smart person after all. Not only you can use killing two birds with one stone scheme. That prefect harming people is just an excuse. But I have no way to move him relying on this. But if his people killed cultivator—this Daoist Liu, should have been taught Heavenly Heart True Law by you—is my Daoist Orthodoxy's matter. I am for him, also for more things... just you bumped into it."

Li Yunxin sighed: "I understand. That person perverting law for selfish ends is also just an excuse. You or someone behind you, scheming more things... you always want to screw him."

“Just that you said so many words, just want to say so many words? Always feel you are delaying time.”

Lingkongzi smiled softly: "Indeed. Severing fate karma, killing living soul, are all things violating Heavenly Harmony. Since violating Heavenly Harmony, let Heaven do, human, better not intervene."

“Now is the Hour of the Dog, the hour Heaven and Earth Righteous Path holding weapons patrolling human world. Killing this demon, most suitable.” She finally turned to Ninth Prince, "Since refuse to hand over Jade Slip, I will finish you, slowly find."

After she finished these words, heard sound of wall collapsing.

Dragon King Temple's courtyard wall, when Ninth Prince hundred zhang true body dived from sky was already tottering. By this time, soaked by water for long, finally couldn't support, collapsed sadly.

Because it was night after rain, not much smoke and dust. Although only a long strip of west wall by door fell, but... already could see crowd outside wall. Luo Shu Ancient Scroll's brilliance in courtyard instantly poured out, sprinkling a large patch of street.

In such era, such time, seeing such brilliance, and person standing before that precious scroll...

People rushing to Dragon King Temple to "watch fun" only stunned for a moment, then emitted a low cry and exclamation spreading quickly like breeze—Immortal, manifested!

Some recognized Li Yunxin was the one walking back and forth in city recently, creating that miraculous scene in Willow River, said tonight this phenomenon, nine out of ten was created by this Immortal again.

But also smart ones, felt atmosphere there seemed not quite right... looked not like Immortals praising clear breeze bright moon, more like... Gods fighting, so swaying between "stay far away" and "take a good look at this rare wonder".

Until they saw that "Female Immortal" with blurry face, raised her left hand placed on top of head, like pulling out a transparent hairpin, pulled out something.

So on Lingkongzi body, azure light flashed!

She actually in this instant, completely changed appearance!

Originally plain white clothes, combing simple Daoist bun. But at this moment she finally revealed original true face—

Big-sleeved pink palace dress, gorgeous High Cloud Bun embellished with precious pearls gold thread jewelry, jade pendants decorating whole body, and...

A face beautiful unmatched, truly like Celestial Immortal!

Seeing this attire only appearing in paintings, such appearance hard to imagine unless seen with own eyes, common people outside courtyard instantly became silent, then next moment, knelt down together, shouted messily, praised.

But Lingkongzi wouldn't pay attention to those mortals. She only turned face slightly looked at Li Yunxin.

However latter seemed to have no special feeling for her true face. Only... raised eyebrow gently.

She then looked solemnly at that Dragon Son confined in pit by her: "Your time has come."

Then shook left hand gently beside body, an invisible phantom stood on ground. A breath later, this phantom slowly became clear... actually was appearance of that plain faced "Lingkongzi" from before.

Li Yunxin who kept watching her coldly, finally asked at this time: "What treasure is this?"

A subtle and strange satisfaction grazed heart. Liu Ling hesitated slightly, but still looked up slightly, looked at Li Yunxin coldly, said: "This is Feather Cloak. Wearing on body, besides excluding external evil, hiding appearance, can also absorb human essence Qi spiritual power. When time comes, take off, can temporarily generate another 'self'. Although ultimately not long lasting... but can do many things in this period."

“For example bearing this fate karma violating Heavenly Harmony.”

Then waved fair hand gently, shouted low: "Go!"

After shouting this sentence, this palace dress colorful Lingkongzi abruptly retreated a step, giving up position before Luo Shu Ancient Scroll. And that Liu Ling separated out stepped over, grabbed talisman brush suspended in mid-air, pen like dragons and snakes, wrote three characters in one breath—

Gold, Inlaid, Blade!

Characters formed, azure light instantly rose on precious scroll. Saw around Ninth Prince in that pit, abruptly from void generated four Golden-Armored Strongmen. These four strongmen occupied his front, back, left, right, four directions, each person holding a Gold-wrapped Cold Beauty Saw (Guan Dao), eyes shooting refined light, chanting together: "Four Direction Night Wandering Gods are here. By Imperial Order Heavenly Master True Law—Slay Evil Spirit!"

Voice like bell, stirring surrounding several li, bluffing those onlookers kowtowing like pounding garlic, even voice gone.

Voice of these four strongmen fell, four Cold Beauty Saws, chopped down on that Dragon Son's head!

This was exactly, momentum like rainbow, killing intent unmatched, Gods and Ghosts retreat, wind and clouds agitated!!

Only heard a loud bang—that pit abruptly rose a burst of soaring dust fog! Earth and stone fragments splashing around beat broken walls, residual bamboo crackling, only making people doubt... inside would contain demon's flesh blood fragments!

And Lingkongzi, after retreating that step only stared at Li Yunxin kneeling on ground, never distracted for a moment. Waiting for those four strongmen slashing with full force, dust fog rising, she said coldly: "Really, not consider carefully again? Now you have seen. My Daoist Orthodoxy magical artifact slaying this Dragon Son, just like..."

“A yellow-haired little girl... really think, relying on this thing, can, do anything to, this Prince?!”

But her words, were suddenly interrupted by such a sentence soaked with killing intent, rage, chill!

Lingkongzi immediately turned head, retreated two steps in succession, pulled out a golden yellow brass small mirror from sleeve, then saw in that pit with dust fog dissipated...

Dragon Son Chiwen's forehead had grown two pairs of dark black staghorn coral horns. His clothes were all tattered, but revealed a body of scales like steel like iron underneath!

His hair had turned white like true body mane, both sides of that cheek grew tattoo-like, fine small scales, opening a bloody mouth full of flashing cold light sharp teeth, emitting roar like millions of male beasts howling at moon—

“I am!!”

“Wei River Dragon King——!!!”
