Chapter 95
She could not resist Li Su’s desires, even if her cultivation hadn’t vanished. Even if her cultivation had remained intact after bearing three children for Li Su, she would have had no choice but to comply.
Though she, too was a ruthless killer, she differed fundamentally from demonic cultivators like the Bai Clan cultivator. The untold part of her story was that after mastering the Demon Sky Technique and gaining immense strength, she began systematically eliminating the cultivators who had pursued her. Her path of destruction was marked by bloodshed and desolation, causing cultivators to vanish for years as the dead lay dead and the survivors fled.
As for the Golden Core cultivator, she wiped out his entire sect in retaliation for their hostility. However, unlike the Bai Clan cultivator, she did not use cultivator flesh and blood for alchemy. She followed a true “demonic” path, and a hint of goodness remained despite the darkness in her heart. After years with Li Su, that goodness began to reawaken within her.
Suddenly, an inconspicuous streak of white light raced through the sky at an astonishing speed. The Sect Master’s hand moved swiftly to capture the white light. It turned out to be a communication stone, renowned for its rapid message relay capabilities. Once activated, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would struggle to intercept it unprepared.
The Sect Master hesitated, torn between the urgent message and guarding their current position. What if a Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast also arrived here? It could result in significant losses for the Radiant Sun Sect. Eventually, the decision was made to leave it to Li Su.
“Li Su, don’t engage too long. If the formation can’t handle it, lure the beast here,” the Sect Master advised, trusting Li Su’s formidable formation skills.
Li Su, now a formidable Golden Core cultivator, confidently accepted the task. He knew how to lure demonic beasts into formations effectively. Despite their cunning, many demonic beasts fell into such traps.
Over a decade ago, Li Su had even clashed with the Enchanting Moon Saintess, emerging victorious. Armed with top-quality spiritual weapons and unmatched experience, he was now stronger than ever. The Sect Master believed Li Su could protect himself even if the formation failed, and they could then lure the demonic beast.
“Master, I’m on my way,” Li Su responded before the Sect Master handed him a glowing sphere containing techniques to temporarily release the Enchanting Moon Saintess’s restrictions in case of an emergency. With that, Li Su and the Saintess of Silent Moon sped towards the Radiant Sun Sect’s defensive line stationed at a distance.
Li Su pushed the flying boat to its limits, resembling a meteor shooting through the sky. Soon, they reached the Radiant Sun Sect’s defensive line, where sect members were in full retreat. They had no choice. The Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast threatened annihilation.
The Sect Master, although powerful, was outmatched by the beast. She fought fiercely to divert its attention and allow the sect members to escape, utilizing various magical treasures.
Demonic beasts, with few exceptions, were generally inferior to cultivators. Most couldn’t match cultivators of the same level, and the Sect Master had no choice but to flee from a Nascent Soul-stage beast. However, even fleeing wasn’t guaranteed safety and would likely result in severe injuries.
Soon, the Sect Master couldn’t hold on and began coughing up blood. The Golden Core Elders aiding her suffered the same fate.
“Retreat!” the Sect Master finally ordered, and they began to fall back. But the Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast swiftly closed in on them, forcing a rapid retreat.
As they retreated, the Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast closed in on them, and several other powerful demonic beasts surrounded them, effectively cutting off their escape route. These creatures were far from foolish.
“Attack!” The Sect Master of the Radiant Sun Sect and the Golden Core Elders launched a full-scale assault on the demonic beasts blocking their path, managing to push them back momentarily. But then, a fiery projectile from the Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast hurtled towards them, a high-powered explosive fireball.
Panic set in. I’m done for! thought the Sect Master as they attempted to resist with their treasures and techniques. However, they were saved by a sudden curtain of light that blocked the fiery explosion. Looking up, they saw Li Su.
“Master, it’s been a long time,” Li Su greeted calmly.
“Elder Li!” The Sect Master was overjoyed and warned, “Elder Li, be careful! This beast is already at the Fourth Stage, and its demonic fire is very powerful.”
“It’s alright, watch me slay this beast,” Li Su reassured them. With a burst of true essence, his Immortal Ascension Sword transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast.
The beast’s demonic fire proved formidable, scorching everything in its path, even turning rocks into molten lava. Its exceptional speed and agility made it a formidable adversary, especially for a cultivator like Li Su, who relied on offense and defense.
However, Li Su remained composed, using the Green Cloud Mirror for defense and the Immortal Ascension Sword for offense, with the Saintess of Silent Moon at his side. She quickly noticed Li Su’s improved combat prowess since their last encounter.
Despite the beast’s strength, it struggled to evade Li Su’s relentless assault, demonstrating the immense power of his attacks. The fact that he forced a Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast to dodge highlighted his exceptional skill.
“Elder Li is so strong!”
“Ten years ago, he took a hit from a Nascent Soul cultivator head-on. It’s incredible that he can pressure a Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast like this just a decade later!”
From a distance, the Sect Master of the Radiant Sun Sect and the Golden Core Elders watched in astonishment as Li Su displayed his incredible combat prowess.
“Have our disciples rebuild the defensive line. We need to push the tide of beasts back!” the Sect Master ordered. Their priority was to hold back the demonic beasts’ onslaught.
Radiant Sun Sect disciples halted their retreat and began reconstructing the defensive line to fend off the demonic beasts. Meanwhile, Li Su continued to engage the Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast, appearing to fight it and suppress it.
Initially, when Li Su was less proficient, the beast could put up a fight, but now it was utterly defenseless against his onslaught. Given his remarkable prowess, this Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast was equivalent to a Nascent Soul First-Stage cultivator, a level Li Su wouldn’t fear.
“He’s Elder Li from the Flying Immortal Sect.”
“Elder Li is incredible. Not even a Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast can match him.”
“Yeah, no wonder many of our senior sisters have gone to become his concubines.”
“……”
The disciples of the Radiant Sun Sect watched in awe from a distance, pondering whether to help with the demonic beast tide at Mangkang Mountain.
