I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 315 - 144: The Empress’s Intention! Chen Mo joins the fun to build good rapport! (6K)

"Ji Hongxiu, do you wish to die?"

Yu Youhan’s face was expressionless, her verdant eyes showed no ripples, resembling an ancient cold pond, beneath its tranquility lurked a fierce killing intent!

Ji Hongxiu’s gaze also turned cold, her blood-red Daoist robe fluttered without wind, ancient runes flickered faintly in her eyes, and threads of aura sliced through the void.

"Yu Youhan, do you really think I’m a pushover?"

"Aren’t you?"

Yu Youhan reversed her grip on the sword hilt and directly drew the long sword.

The Causality Severing Sword hummed and trembled, scarlet mist churned, struggling to break free, but it was all in vain.

Rays of ghostly light spread over the blade, the golden glow rapidly dimmed, the blade turning pitch-black, and the inscribed Dao Patterns were completely eradicated.

Instantly refined!

Yu Youhan holding the black sword placed it against Ji Hongxiu’s neck and asked again:

"Aren’t you a pushover?"

"..."

Ji Hongxiu narrowed her eyes, anger surging within them.

She raised her hand into the void, drawing out another golden long sword, simultaneously, the black sword in Yu Youhan’s hand disintegrated, vanishing without a trace.

The Causality Severing Sword can cut through the cycles of cause and effect, existing in the river of time, Yu Youhan refined the sword of this moment, while the one in Ji Hongxiu’s hand came from the past.

Zheng——

The long sword hummed, mortal dust roiling.

Peach blossoms bloomed and withered around Ji Hongxiu, endlessly cycling through life and death, wherein the petals touched, all turned to nothingness.

"Just a petty trick."

Yu Youhan extended her fair hand through the sea of peach blossoms, her jade-like fingers pointing toward Ji Hongxiu’s brow.

Ji Hongxiu’s pupils contracted, the "Mystery" character in her eyes shone brilliantly, countless peach blossoms suspended in the air, time seemed to freeze at that moment.

However, Yu Youhan’s finger paused for just a moment, then proceeded again, lightly tapping on Ji Hongxiu’s brow.

Without tremendous vigor, in silence, Ji Hongxiu’s appearance rapidly aged!

The raven hair turned snow white, wrinkles crept across her once-rosy cheeks, as if the flow of years accelerated manifold upon her!

"Yu Youhan!"

As her vitality waned, about to extinguish, the "Mystery" character in Ji Hongxiu’s eyes unraveled, the strokes twisting, transforming into twin yin-yang fish, spinning in reverse order of Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen.

The white hair turned black once more, wrinkles completely faded, restoring her bewitching beauty, as if nothing happened at all.

However, her complexion paled slightly, the enchanting flush on her cheeks faded, she gazed solemnly at Yu Youhan, her amber eyes seemed to penetrate the heart, speaking in a deep voice:

"Have you comprehended?!"

"No, it’s close yet not, it’s as if missing a piece... is your Dao Heart unstable?"

Yu Youhan’s eyes flickered with cold intent.

At that moment, she sensed commotion below, refrained from further entanglement with Ji Hongxiu, her figure flashed, disappearing without a trace.

Ji Hongxiu furrowed her brows, murmuring softly, "Strange..."

Yu Youhan’s resolve to seek the Dao was as firm as iron, never wavering in the slightest, even if Jiu Zhou crumbled, oceans surged across the land, she wouldn’t blink an eye.

Yet earlier, she showed a hint of hesitation, an emotion that should’ve never surfaced in her...

"Master."

Ling Ningzhi flew forward, concern etched in her expression, "Are you alright?"

Their duel lasted but an instant, though the specifics were unclear, it was evident that the master must have had a disadvantage...

"I’m fine."

Ji Hongxiu clasped her hands behind her back, her tone indifferent, "Though Yu Youhan’s strength is formidable, I’m not to be trifled with. Were it not for the potential devastation to the living, making me unable to exert myself fully, the outcome would remain uncertain."

"Oh..."

Ling Ningzhi blinked, hesitated to speak.

Ji Hongxiu frowned, "What’s wrong? Speak openly."

Ling Ningzhi hesitated a moment, cautiously said, "You’re bleeding..."

?

Ji Hongxiu touched her neck, glancing at the red blood on her fingertips, her eyelids twitched slightly, gritting her silver teeth. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"That vile woman!"

...

Inside the county government.

As the dust settled, the entire court had turned to ruins.

Chen Mo leaned on a long knife, panting heavily, heat waves steaming from his body, eyes fixed intently on the shattered remains.

The ability to use a city as a trap, blood sacrifice tens of thousands for refining Gu, must indicate significant power, likely a Third Grade Grandmaster!

Therefore he held nothing back, delivering his strongest blow at meeting!

Yet he was unsure of the effectiveness...

Huala——

Then, a sound came from within the ruins.

Tiles and stones flew up, revealing Jiang Qiyuan with slightly grayed hair, stepping out slowly.

His body was covered by a layer of black armor shell, a long, narrow knife wound on the abdomen pierced through the shell, yet he remained unharmed.

Chen Mo’s heart sank at the sight.

Jiang Qiyuan’s gaze at Chen Mo was full of astonishment.

"A Fifth Grade Martial Artist shouldn’t be able to break my Armor Gu, who are you?"

So young, with such prowess, and a court military officer as well... he realized something, raised an eyebrow, "Are you Chen Mo? The newly appointed Qingyun Leaderboard winner who defeated Shi Yun?"

Chen Mo chuckled coldly, "Seems like I’m quite famous now."

Jiang Qiyuan’s brows furrowed.

So it really was him?

He expected a rash youth, not someone with such a formidable background...

"He cannot be allowed to leave, or the consequences will be dire!"

With that thought, Jiang Qiyuan no longer concealed his aura, forming spell gestures with both hands, blood light spread like an inverted bowl, enveloping the entire county government.

Just as Chen Mo was about to move, he suddenly froze.

The originally hard bricks underfoot transformed into a crimson Blood Pool, with several desiccated hands stretching out from the blood, gripping his legs tightly!

Talon-like fingers pierced through his skin, embedding deeply, with blood gushing forth!

Jiang Qiyuan’s eyes turned blood-red, speaking sinisterly, "Your prowess is indeed exceptional, but only among your peers... I have long since entered the Third Grade, within this Blood Evil Dharma Image, you stand no chance!"
