Supreme Sword Exalt-Chapter 142 - Demoness Sister, Let’s Try Something Different This Time, How About It?

Chapter 142 - Demoness Sister, Let’s Try Something Different This Time, How About It?

Murong Yan lost it after her sore spot had been jabbed. She grabbed her Purple Golden Hammer, ready to pummel Liu Ying into paste.

Shen Xuan was horrified. “Junior Sister, don’t be reckless!”

If Murong Yan went crazy, the commotion would definitely not be small. By then, the few of them would likely be completely exposed.

Murong Yan stiffened, panting heavily, obviously struggling to suppress the rage in her heart.

Gu Han was also stunned. “Sister Murong, this woman isn’t easy to deal with. You absolutely must not act rashly!”

Liu Ying looked at Murong Yan again. “Sister? She’s a woman? Haha, I really couldn’t tell!”

Murong Yan’s eyes turned red. “You whore, I’ll hammer you to death!”

Since childhood, this was what she was most sensitive about. Having her scar torn open repeatedly by Liu Ying, how could she still hold back?

She swung her hammer, directly aiming for Liu Ying.

Liu Ying neither dodged nor evaded, maintaining that smiling expression. “Hehe...”

However, just as Murong Yan was still about ten zhang away, a strange glint flickered in Liu Ying’s eyes. Murong Yan abruptly froze right there, her hammer only a few zhang away from Liu Ying’s impossibly beautiful face.

The gust of wind swept by, scattering her hair. Her beauty was breathtaking, yet it made Shen Xuan and Yang Ying’s scalps tingle with unease. They knew Murong Yan’s strength all too well. Head-on clash, no one was her match, yet Liu Ying easily subdued her.

Only Gu Han vaguely recognized the demoness’ method. It was very similar to the move she used to subdue Fatty that day. “Soul-Snatching Technique!”

The demoness wore an appreciative expression. “You really are knowledgeable, Little Brother. But what I’m using is no ordinary Soul-Snatching Technique. If you want to learn, come to me, and I will teach you properly!”

Meanwhile, Shen Xuan was frantic. “Junior Sister, what’s wrong with you?!”

However, no matter how many times he called, Murong Yan showed no reaction whatsoever. She remained motionless with the hammer raised high like a wooden puppet.

“Let her go!” Shen Xuan’s figure flashed, leaving an afterimage where he stood. He arrived instantly in front of Liu Ying. “Otherwise—”

Murong Yan suddenly moved again, her hammer crashing down toward him.

Shen Xuan’s pupils contracted. “Junior Sister?!”

If he took the blow head on, he would not survive at all. With a flash, he had already retreated outside Murong Yan’s attack range. Before he could say anything, Murong Yan charged over once more, relentlessly swinging down her hammer. Shen Xuan was forced to dodge repeatedly, looking completely wretched. Had he not been skilled in movement techniques and was extremely fast, he would have long since perished.

Not far away, Yang Ying was about to make a move, but Gu Han stopped him. “Don’t go over! You’re not her match!”

Then, Gu Han turned his gaze to the demoness, his expression icy. “Let her go! I’m the one you want! It has nothing to do with her!”

Liu Ying feigned surprise. “Oh? Little Brother, are you finally ready to speak nicely to me?”

Gu Han nodded. “Yes. Let her go first, then everything can be discussed.”

The demoness said triumphantly, “I finally won against you for once!”

As her words fell, Murong Yan’s offense instantly stopped.

Shen Xuan was panting heavily from exhaustion, nearly collapsing. In truth, his skills weren’t lacking. It was just that the opponent was Murong Yan. He had reservations and refused to attack her.

Liu Ying’s beautiful eyes shifted, landing on Gu Han. “Now then, come with me. I promise not to harm them.”

Gu Han didn’t move. “What about my father?”

Liu Ying’s eyes were filled with resentment at the mention of Gu Han. “Uncle Gu? You’re heartless just like him. If I didn’t have some life-preserving methods, I would’ve been killed! Haa... As for now, he probably doesn’t even know where he himself is.”

Gu Han secretly sighed as his worries were correct. He got lost after all!

Liu Ying urged with a giggle. “Hurry up! I don’t have a lot of patience, you know. These are your friends, right? Given your character, you surely wouldn’t implicate them—huh?”

Before she finished, her brow furrowed slightly. “Annoying insects!”

As her words fell, two figures instantly landed before the group. They were the elite clansmen of the Yang family stationed within the secret realm.

The two coldly swept their gazes over Gu Han and the others. “This is the Yang family forbidden area! Unauthorized trespassers will be executed without mercy!”

As they spoke, their cultivation burst forth completely. One was at the eight stage of Divine Connection, while the other was at the ninth stage.

Gu Han’s heart dropped. These two felt truly similar to Lone Eagle from that day. Both of them were extremely troublesome opponents. Clearly, these were the true elites of the Yang family, just like those hidden guards of the Murong family. Yang Ying and Shen Xuan were secretly on guard.

Just then, Gu Han angrily shouted, full of indignation, “Demoness, you have quite the nerve! Daring to set your sights on the Yang family’s secret realm! We, the Four Tigers of Guan Mountain, received kindness from Senior Yang in the past. We definitely won’t let you escape!”

He pointed his sword at Liu Ying. “Big Brother, Second Brother, our chance to repay the favor has come!”

Shen Xuan and Yang Ying were dumbfounded. Four Tigers of Guan Mountain? Are you serious?

Gu Han looked at the two Yang clansmen. “You two, this demoness is cunning and extremely troublesome. Let’s join forces to capture her first. The specifics can be discussed later.”

The two didn’t speak, but their gazes instantly fell on Liu Ying. They didn’t believe half a word of Gu Han’s. However, the two could indeed sense that Liu Ying posed a greater threat than all four of Gu Han’s group combined.

Liu Ying sighed lightly. “You little rascal, always finding ways to cause trouble for me. Wait and see how I will teach you a lesson later...”

The two Yang clansmen showed not the slightest hesitation. “Take her down!”

Their figures flashed, instantly charging toward Liu Ying. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A strange glint flashed through Liu Ying’s eyes, her tone quite disdainful. “Little insects, you’re really so annoying!”

In an instant, just like Murong Yan earlier, the two’s movements instantly halted, frozen in place.

Liu Ying bit her lip. “Too smelly! Get farther away!”

Upon hearing this, the two instantly retreated backward.

Liu Ying gave Gu Han a charming glance full of meaning. “That was boring. Little Brother Gu Han, how about I put on a show for you?”

As she said this, one of the two suddenly used his full strength to strike the other with a palm. That person spat out a mouthful of blood, severely injured.

Without the slightest hesitation, he retaliated, striking the other with a palm as well.

Thud!

Thud!

The sounds of palms striking continued to come, and the two’s auras visibly plummeted.

Liu Ying smiled sweetly. “Little Brother, is it exciting?”

Before Gu Han could speak, Shen Xuan and Yang Ying felt their scalps go numb, breaking out in a cold sweat. This woman is too terrifying!

Shen Xuan could barely say coherently, “B-Brother Gu, h-how do you even know someone like this...?”

Gu Han remained silent, slowly closing his eyes. Yang Ying and Shen Xuan were dumbfounded. What? You’re just straight up giving up? Even though resistance is futile, you should at least try, right?

Gu Han didn’t know what they were thinking. The thought of the secret realm and making a fortune had already been tossed to the back of his mind. How many times had the demoness threatened his safety already? If he didn’t eliminate her now, she’d cause endless troubles in the future.

Upon seeing Gu Han’s state, Liu Ying’s interest was greatly piqued. She licked her red lips. “Oh? You’re not resisting? I like that...”

Shen Xuan and Yang Ying exchanged a look. It’s over! Brother Gu is going to be completely devoured by her!

Within the consciousness space, the shadow laughed heartily. “I’m a supreme Demon Monarch. Although only a wisp of remnant soul remains now, it must be an immense temptation to this little demoness! No wonder she’s targeting you! I simply failed to kill her with the sword strike last time. It seems I’ve underestimated her a bit!”

Gu Han was speechless. I came to you for a solution, not to watch you gloat!

He said impatiently, “What’s the solution then?! You said it yourself, you’re a Demon Monarch. Dealing with a little demoness should be simple, right?”

The shadow waved a hand. “It is! Just lure her in here, and I will swallow her in one gulp!”

Gu Han’s face darkened. “Do you think she’ll still come in after what happened last time?”

The Demon Monarch thought for a moment. “That’s true. From what you said about her origins, I couldn’t tell what path she had walked before. But now, this little demoness is definitely walking the most difficult-to-kill Heavenly Demon path. It’ll definitely be difficult for you to eradicate her on your own.”

“Heavenly Demon?”

The shadow nodded. “This Heavenly Demon path is bizarre and unpredictable, ever-changing. Those who walk this path appear affectionate, but are actually heartless. They put on a show of deep devotion, yet at their core, they sever emotion and cut off all sentiment.

Reaching this point, he glanced at Gu Han. “Has she said she likes you?”

Gu Han kept silent.

“Has she also said she fell for you at first sight?”

Gu Han kept silent.

“Does she often tempt you, making it hard for you to control yourself?”

Gu Han was silent again, his face reddening slightly. All of these hit the mark.

The shadow’s tone turned serious. “I don’t believe it! Since you promised to help me get revenge, I will give you a few pointers. Don’t believe a single word she says. If you believe it, only a tragic end awaits you. You’ll gradually fall for her, then become her puppet. When you’re deeply in love, infatuated with her to the point of no return, that’s when you’ll be completely finished.”

Gu Han shot back, “Me? Falling for her? Are you kidding? I’d rather kill her!”

The shadow glanced at him. “I sure hope you can resist her beauty.”

Gu Han looked impatient. “Enough nonsense! I don’t have much time. Do you have a solution or not? A mighty Demon Monarch, can’t even handle a little Heavenly Demon? Wouldn’t it make people laugh their guts out?”

The shadow was angered. “Kid, you dare look down on me! She’s a mere little Heavenly Demon. I have plenty of ways to make her suffer. Listen carefully!”

Saying this, he taught Gu Han a demonic secret technique.

Gu Han grinned wickedly. “Just wait. This time, let’s see how you die!”

He was about to leave when the shadow suddenly called him back, “Kid, actually, there’s another method!”

“What is it?”

“Do you know why this Heavenly Demon path severs emotion and sentimentality? Their greatest fear is developing true feelings, that’s why! If you can make her develop true feelings for you, she’ll die more miserably than anyone.”

Gu Han thought about it. “Are you out of your mind?”

The shadow was baffled. After Gu Han left, he cursed angrily, “Little bastard, I’m being for real!”

***

Outside, perhaps having grown a bit tired of watching, Liu Ying waved her hand boredly. “Alright, that’s enough. Little Brother and I have very important matters to attend to!”

Upon hearing this, the two’s movements halted. The next moment, they gathered their entire cultivation and viciously slammed their palms down on each other. Simultaneously, the two fell to the ground, motionless. Until death, they never regained consciousness.

Liu Ying lazily stretched, her gaze shifting to land on Gu Han. “Little Brother, I’m getting a bit impatient from waiting. I’m coming now...”

After saying this, she lightly stepped, slowly walking toward Gu Han. Shen Xuan and Yang Ying prepared to face her.

The demoness’s captivating gaze shifted and she broke into a smile.“You two... Forget it. If I really kill you, he probably will never like me again. Go over there! Don’t disturb our good times!”

In that instant, they stiffened and walked into the distance.

Liu Ying drew close to Gu Han. Upon seeing his eyes still tightly closed, she took a deep breath, her face intoxicated. “It smells so good...”

Suddenly, Gu Han opened his eyes.

Liu Ying was overjoyed. “You’re awake? I thought you were angry and ignoring me...”

Gu Han smiled. “How could I? After all, we are old acquaintances!”

A faint blush appeared on Liu Ying’s face. “You’re so gentle. I like you even more now!”

The smile on Gu Han’s face widened. “Is that so? Demoness Sister, do you know, you’re actually really beautiful!”

Liu Ying tenderly gazed at her. “How beautiful?”

“Come closer, let me whisper into your ear.”

Liu Ying bit her lip. “Y-you really are naughty!”

As she said this, she slowly leaned closer, almost pressing against Gu Han.

Her stunning face was full of mischief. “Naughty Little Brother, I know what tricks you’re plotting. But have you forgotten? Your Soul-Snatching Technique has no effect on me whatsoever!”

Gu Han nodded, the smile on his face growing even wider. “I know, that’s why I’m trying something different!”

Having said that, his smile instantly vanished without a trace, and he coldly spat out two words, “Soul Annihilation!”
