Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 522 - 526: Rebirth Pill and... Demon Race Attack

Chapter 522: Chapter 526: Rebirth Pill and... Demon Race Attack

"Misunderstanding! It’s really a misunderstanding!"

In just a flash, Night Spirit Demon Venerable reacted, squeezing out a smile and argued: "I’ve always admired Li Shang Sword Venerable. This time, I’m merely here to see if there’s anything I can help with, with absolutely no intention of being your enemy."

Whether the truth or lies mattered not; face mattered even less. What was important was expressing the unwillingness to be against Qu Lishang.

Moreover, regardless of whether Night Spirit Demon Venerable truly wished to kill Qu Lishang, at least he hadn’t actually made a move, which made him completely different from Cyan Robe Demon Venerable, providing leeway to evade.

"The Demon Venerable didn’t say this before."

Standing behind Qu Lishang, Wang Junze suddenly interrupted: "I didn’t expect the Demon Venerable to have such a deep scheme, even dissolving the blood covenants on Lin Qiushui and Liu Daoyu. I’m still alive... doesn’t that disappointed you?"

"..."

Only until now did Night Spirit Demon Venerable notice Wang Junze’s presence.

He had done so much preparation to trap Wang Junze but unexpectedly, Situ Haokong was so inept that despite the huge advantage, Wang Junze survived.

Wang Junze knew too many secrets, and if he intended to expose them, even deceiving his way out was impossible.

Most importantly, judging by Qu Lishang’s attitude, he clearly valued Wang Junze as a successor, making things even more troublesome!

"Give me your best healing elixir, and I’ll write off our grudges."

Raising his head, Wang Junze looked at Night Spirit Demon Venerable and spoke again.

Wang Junze himself was heavily injured, and anyone could see that proposing such a condition didn’t seem abrupt.

Indeed, without a second thought, Night Spirit Demon Venerable took out a bottle of elixir and threw it to Wang Junze.

"Rebirth Pill, below the Saint Realm, no matter how severe the injuries, as long as there’s still a breath, one’s life can be saved!"

Glancing at Wang Junze, Night Spirit Demon Venerable hesitated slightly before speaking again: "However, your current state isn’t just simple injuries... Even the Rebirth Pill might not save you."

Wang Junze’s current state looked peculiar; despite the grave injuries that should’ve killed him, he still walked normally.

Of course, Night Spirit Demon Venerable couldn’t have known that Qu Lishang gave Wang Junze the Great Nether Mirror, only assuming Qu Lishang had some special means to temporarily preserve Wang Junze’s life, offering a reminder to prevent Wang Junze from truly dying here and causing Qu Lishang’s wrath.

In fact, Wang Junze knew well enough not to wait for Night Spirit Demon Venerable’s reminder unless it’s an extraordinary treasure; he couldn’t save himself. Without the Life and Death Contract, he would’ve died long ago. His current endurance was entirely due to the Great Nether Mirror’s power, which ordinary elixirs simply couldn’t help.

However, he wasn’t trying to save himself; he was saving Peng Ru.

Of course, it wasn’t time to save anyone. Saving Peng Ru involved more than just consuming elixirs; it required transferring her Divine Soul from the Li Shang Sword, demanding ample time.

The most crucial matter now was safely leaving Inverted Mountain.

"Night Spirit, I’ll give you a chance. Swear by the Path Rules that you’ll leave the Nether Sea and never return, and I shall spare your life!"

Raising his brows slightly, Qu Lishang spoke slowly.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Qu Lishang’s words, Night Spirit Demon Venerable was slightly stunned, evidently not expecting Qu Lishang to propose such a request.

What did this mean?

"You want the Nether Sea?!"

For a moment, Night Spirit Demon Venerable found it rather incredulous.

What a joke; you’re not a Loose Cultivator, you’re from the Profound Moon Sword Sect, shouldn’t you return to it? Why desire the Nether Sea?

No, wait!

Such thoughts merely flickered in his mind when Night Spirit Demon Venerable suddenly woke up!

Monk Benyin!

Previously, Monk Benyin always said he was entrusted to enter the Nether Sea to save Qu Lishang, but in reality, that wasn’t the case at all.

Xuankong Temple, Profound Moon Sword Sect... their intentions were not merely to save Qu Lishang, but to jointly seize the Nether Sea.

Thinking this, Night Spirit Demon Venerable felt both shocked and furious.

After so many years of painstaking management, he barely managed to control Netherworld City, with the entire Nether Sea providing massive cultivation resources. To progress further required colossal consumption that he couldn’t afford to lose; losing the Nether Sea meant unimaginable losses he couldn’t accept.

Boom!

In an instant, terrifying demonic energy poured out of Night Spirit Demon Venerable, enveloping the surroundings in darkness, erasing all traces of light.

Simultaneously, Night Spirit Demon Venerable hesitated not at all and swiftly fled far away.

Now, he clearly understood that alone, he was no match for Qu Lishang and Monk Benyin; only by escaping Inverted Mountain and returning to the Nether Sea could he reverse the situation.

After all, the Nether Sea didn’t only hold him as a Saint Realm!

Besides Demonic Cultivators, there was the Demon Race!

Once they knew Qu Lishang and Benyin intended to seize the Nether Sea, these individuals would become his allies.

Indeed, Night Spirit Demon Venerable already regretted deeply, had greed not consumed him to share Qu Lishang’s whereabouts, Monk Benyin wouldn’t have been able to stop him, nor would he have fallen into such dire straits now.

"Leave me be!"

Almost simultaneously with Night Spirit Demon Venerable’s move, Qu Lishang lightly tapped his fingertips, unleashing a terrifying sword intent!

In an instant, a round of Profound Moon tore through the darkness, chasing after Night Spirit Demon Venerable.

From start to finish, Qu Lishang never intended to spare Night Spirit Demon Venerable.

Even when Wang Junze tricked him into giving the Rebirth Pill, Qu Lishang deemed it unnecessary, for by killing Night Spirit Demon Venerable, he’d naturally acquire the elixir.

Previously, Cyan Robe Demon Venerable couldn’t escape Qu Lishang’s pursuit.

Now, Qu Lishang similarly didn’t believe Night Spirit Demon Venerable could escape.

In terms of strength, Night Spirit Demon Venerable and Cyan Robe Demon Venerable were evenly matched; such Saints meant nothing to Qu Lishang.

Besides, Monk Benyin was also present.

Undoubtedly, Qu Lishang’s sword was exceedingly swift, practically ignoring spatial barriers, leaving Night Spirit Demon Venerable unable to escape its chase despite his full exertion.

However, just as the sword struck, a terrifying howl erupted from Inverted Mountain!

In the blink of an eye, a dreadful sound wave surged forth, transforming into a mighty demon qi, colliding fiercely with the Profound Moon.
