puff!
Lu Qingshan pulled out the "Black Blood" sword that pierced Lingwu's body.
There was a bloody hole in his chest.
Blood suddenly spurted out from it, and soon dyed the red feathers of Lingwu blood red.
He staggered and only managed to keep from falling by leaning on his spear.
"Although the Lingwu 's best weapon is the Yuanshen attack, which I completely defeated, I still have a slight advantage in terms of cultivation. This also shows that the power of the Ten Flower Realm is indeed far beyond imagination."
Lu Qingshan looked at Lingwu, whose face was pale, and said secretly in his heart.
"I give up," Lingwu shook his body, looked at Lu Qingshan who did not pursue him, and said with difficulty: "Thank you for showing mercy."
If Lu Qingshan had not shown mercy just now, he would not have died on the spot, but his injuries would have been much more serious.
So even though he was ridiculed by Lu Qingshan many times, compared to the gnashing of teeth by the people in Lingwang Palace, Ling Wu still chose to express his gratitude.
In fact, the level of sarcasm from the trash talk before the war, although it made him a little angry, it definitely did not reach the level of a mortal enemy.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and remained silent.
Of course, he was not so kind as to let the demon monk go.
But given his identity and purpose, it is not appropriate for him to offend too many people.
The reason why he was so brutal before was, firstly, to gain experience points, and secondly, to create a contrast.
The more brutal his character was, the more gratitude he received when he showed mercy.
Otherwise, others will just take it for granted - you just don't dare to kill me.
…
Lu Qingshan has been on a winning streak so far and seems to be invincible.
"Lingwu is already one of the most outstanding young demon generals in the royal city, but Qingge's combat power has increased dramatically, making Lingwu completely unable to face him!"
“If this goes on, only the pure-blooded royals and those geniuses of the Demon Clan can defeat him.” Many people murmured below the parade stage.
A peerless figure.
This evaluation came to everyone's mind.
"But will they take action?" They were shocked and thought so, not sure.
Would a genius of this level really show up in public and fight in a so-called boxing match, and would he really have to decide the winner?
The possibility is not high.
Moreover, even if Qingge was defeated by these people, it would not matter much.
This is like a person who claimed to be the top scholar in the university, but ended up only ranking in the top ten in the province. Although he did not fulfill his boast, others have absolutely no right to mock and squeeze him.
The "Qing Ge" war has reached a decisive stage so far, it is truly extraordinary.
At this point, everyone understood that even if we looked at the entire Burning Moon Region, there were very few people of the same generation who could rival Qing Ge.
"This Qing Ge is just a primary demon general!" Someone thought of this and was particularly shocked.
With the cultivation level of a primary demon general, he crushed one of the strongest among the high-level demon generals.
With such a record, how could one not shudder?
“With his talent, the reason why he has only the cultivation level of an elementary demon general is simply because his bloodline limits him.” Ying Mingyue murmured in her heart, her beautiful eyes flashing in the crowd.
If Qingge was also a pureblood, with his natural talent in fighting, even a genius from the royal family would never dare to dominate before him.
…
Lu Qingshan stopped looking at these people and prepared to leave.
"Qingge." Someone called him.
Lu Qingshan raised his eyelids and looked in the direction of the sound.
Ying Mingyue.
Seeing Lu Qingshan's gaze, her body trembled slightly and all kinds of thoughts came to her mind.
He is also of mixed blood and his life is very difficult, but he is already superior to his peers.
And he, who possessed such fighting power, gave himself enough face when fighting with himself...
Yes, in Ying Mingyue's opinion, the reason why he and Lu Qingshan were able to exchange so many moves in the Demon Lord's mansion was entirely because Lu Qingshan showed mercy.
After all, the strength that Lu Qingshan showed now was very different from what he showed that day.
"Is there anything wrong?" Lu Qingshan looked at Ying Mingyue gently .
Under Lu Qingshan's gaze, Ying Mingyue calmed down, bit her lip, and said softly, "You have been fighting for days and it is quite exhausting. Are you interested in coming to my mansion to drink a cup of dragon blood tea?"
Dragon's Blood Tea is one of the specialties of the royal city. It has a long-lasting flavor and has the magical effect of restoring energy. It is a tribute to the royal family.
Lu Qingshan was startled, then laughed heartily and said, "It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation!"
Under the gaze of everyone, "Qing Ge" left the scene with his future wife Ying Mingyue.
One has a pretty face and a graceful figure, the other is brave and heroic with extraordinary demeanor. They are truly a perfect pair.
As for Lingwu, it left the stage in dismay.
"It's really outrageous. Demon Lord Shi Wu is worthy of being the Demon Lord. He has such a good eye... He actually found such a good son-in-law for his concubine's daughter!" someone exclaimed.
…
Demon Lord Honglie's Mansion.
"Father, I asked the person in charge of Blood God Ridge, and they said that my second brother had already left Blood God Ridge yesterday and returned to the Royal City." A young man in his thirties said respectfully to Demon Lord Honglie.
He is the eldest son of Demon Lord Honglie, an eighth-rank demon cultivator, and a member of the Ying Realm.
"He left yesterday, but hasn't come back yet..." The face of Demon Lord Honglie was shrouded in shadow and could not be seen clearly.
But from his gloomy voice, we can tell that he is not in a good mood.
"Something happened?" Ying Lie made the most reasonable judgment.
“No way,” Ying Jie could hardly believe this possibility, his eyes trembled, “The road from the Royal City to the Blood God Ridge has been cleared countless times, it is extremely safe, there are no powerful monsters.”
"It may not be an animal, it could also be a human." A slight gloom appeared in Ying Lie's eyes.
"Who in the Burning Moon Region dares to harm us?" Ying Jie asked in a hoarse voice.
In the Burning Moon Region, the bloodline of soldier demons is respected. In addition, the number of pure-blooded soldier demons is rare, so the status of each pure-blooded soldier demon is supreme.
Once a pure-blooded soldier demon gets into trouble, no matter which lineage the soldier demon is from, they must help with the investigation and revenge.
This is the default rule of the Burning Moon Domain.
The dignity of the soldier demon cannot be insulted!
This is also why even though Demon Lord Shi Wu is about to die, their Shi Wu lineage can still continue.
The blood of the soldier demon is their amulet.
Not to mention the internal struggles, the Soldier Demon Clan has a consistent stance on external matters.
The blood of the soldier demon flows endlessly in their bodies. Any demon who is eyeing the resources of the Shi Wu lineage can compete with them and suppress them, but they are absolutely not allowed to kill them.
Otherwise, you will be standing against all the soldiers and demons.
It is this kind of tacit understanding that has ensured that even though the number of Soldier Demons is small, their position remains solid and unshakable throughout the changes over the years.
"That being said, we can't take things for granted. There have been cases of pure-blooded soldier demons being assassinated in history."
Ying Lie's face was calm and dignified, and he said calmly, "Send someone to investigate the situation."
"Yes, father," Ying Jie shuddered and said respectfully, "Then I will withdraw first."
"Yeah." Ying Lie waved his hand and responded softly.
After Ying Jie left, Ying Lie frowned slightly and rubbed his eyebrows.
Although the investigation results have not yet come out, he has an inexplicable intuition - something must have happened to Ying Jun.
…
In Mingyue Mansion.
Wisps of tea fragrance waft out, refreshing the soul, and just smelling it makes people feel light and graceful.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the tea in the cup with a strange look in his eyes.
The tea was scarlet red like blood, but not dirty. Instead, it was crystal clear like a gem.
There are wisps of mist floating in the tea, which is very hazy and dreamy, and contains a strange power.
This is dragon's blood tea.
Lu Qingshan gently took a sip of the dragon's blood tea, his mouth filled with fragrance. Then the sky and the earth suddenly became hazy, and his mind became extremely empty.
Because he was in the Demon Realm, the fatigue caused by the high concentration of mind actually faded away at this moment.
His state of mind became much more peaceful and clear after drinking the dragon blood tea.
"Good tea." Lu Qingshan felt as if he had rested for a long time, and his body and mind were happy. He praised with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Ying Mingyue was also holding a jade cup and sipping tea.
She opened her mouth, her lips bright red, as if she wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth several times, she closed it again.
"You're not really going to invite me to have tea today, are you?" Lu Qingshan said slowly.
"Why, no?" When asked by Lu Qingshan, Ying Mingyue unconsciously held back what she wanted to say for some reason, raised her head and said stubbornly.
"Of course," Lu Qingshan said unconcernedly, "Miss Mingyue invited me to have tea, I am honored."
"My face cannot compare to Ying Jun's." Ying Mingyue concealed his strange look and said calmly.
But everyone could sense the bitterness in his words.
"No way. My nephew's face can never compare to that of my future wife." Lu Qingshan chuckled.
Ying Mingyue's body trembled, knowing that Lu Qingshan had seen through her intentions, and her earlobes turned slightly red.
But she still refused to give in. "We are just a fake couple. I don't care about that."
She forced an explanation, "It's just that you agreed with me to cooperate with me, borrow my blood crystal, and then help me deal with Demon Lord Honglie in the future, but you turned around and went to see Ying Jun. I was worried that you would not keep your promise, so..."
"Oh, so that's it." Lu Qingshan put down the teacup, paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "Ying Jun's condition is not to lend me the blood crystals, but to give them to me directly, and the number is far more than three."
Ying Mingyue was shocked when he heard this.
really……
She gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm, "He is so generous. I can't afford such conditions."
She felt a little cold and a little desperate.
Compared with Demon Lord Honglie, she has no advantage.
It is reasonable for "Qing Ge" to choose Demon Lord Honglie.
But knowing this truth in her heart doesn't mean she can accept it calmly.
Ying Mingyue's eyes had unconsciously turned slightly red at this moment.
"However," Lu Qingshan continued at this time: "I rejected him."
"ah?!"
These ups and downs caught Ying Mingyue off guard.
She opened her mouth wide, revealing her snow-white teeth, and stared at Lu Qingshan blankly.
"You rejected his offer?" She was a little dazed.
"Why?"
Lu Qingshan nodded affirmatively, "The conditions he offered are good, but it's a first come, first served basis. He came late, and I have already reached a cooperation agreement with you, so I naturally cannot break my promise."
"Besides, I'm your future husband, so naturally I have to stand on your side." He lied with his eyes open with great shamelessness.
Ying Mingyue stood there, feeling extremely complicated.
She really couldn't believe that Lu Qingshan could still flatly refuse such a huge temptation of benefits.
Putting herself in Lu Qingshan's shoes, she believed that if she were Lu Qingshan, she would definitely not be able to refuse such conditions.
After all, he had no grudges against Demon Lord Honglie.
The grudge is between her and Demon Lord Honglie.
Is it because of me?
Ying Mingyue guessed, but quickly denied the idea.
"Qingge" has no feelings for me.
She doesn't think she's that attractive.
She is not narcissistic.
Besides, with the skills displayed by "Qing Ge", what kind of beauty can he not get?
Haven’t you seen that since yesterday, there has been a rumor in the royal city that “Ying Mingyue has really got a great bargain by marrying such a person.”
So, did "Qing Ge" reject Ying Jun simply because of personal principles?
Ying Mingyue kept pondering and guessing in his mind.
If this is true, then it seems that she has really lucked out by marrying a husband who is extremely talented, has a great character, can keep his promises and stick to his principles?
Although Qingge is not very handsome, he is outstanding and brilliant in these aspects.
These thoughts suddenly popped up in Ying Mingyue's mind.
What am I thinking about? Why am I thinking about this?
She suddenly reacted and quickly drove away these messy thoughts in her mind.
Lu Qingshan picked up the teacup again, sipped the dragon blood tea, and watched Ying Mingyue's changing expression in silence.
The atmosphere on the field was a little strange.
Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly were heard.
A maid with horns on her head rushed in, looking anxious.
"What's the matter?" Ying Mingyue came back to her senses and saw that the maid's expression was wrong, so she asked hurriedly.
"Miss, something happened!" The maid glanced at Lu Qingshan and knew that since the lady asked directly, it meant that there was no need to be shy about him, so she quickly reported: "Ying Jun is dead!"
"Ah?!" Ying Mingyue exclaimed subconsciously, shocked by this shocking news .
She quickly turned to look at Qingge and saw that he also had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"How did he die? He was full of energy when I saw him yesterday. How could he die suddenly?" Lu Qingshan asked "anxious".
…
"Father, my second brother died in an area three thousand miles away from the royal city." Inside the hall, Ying Jie's eyes moved slightly, and he reported the details to Ying Lie in a deep voice.
"That is the only way to get back to Jianluo King City from Blood God Ridge. Someone must have known that my second brother was going to come back from there, so they ambushed him in advance and killed him."
"Near that area, we found fragments of my second brother's warship. It looked like it was directly smashed to pieces by something sharp. The person who did it was extremely arrogant. He had no intention of erasing any traces and let the fragments of the warship scatter all around. He seemed not afraid of being discovered by us ." Ying Jie recorded the details in a very organized manner.
"Of course, it is also possible that the situation was urgent at the time and the person who took action did not have time to clean up the battlefield."
Ying Lie's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "When was Jun'er attacked?"
"We asked the Corpse Demon Clan to investigate. The remaining aura indicates that my second brother was attacked at 3 p.m. yesterday."
"Shen Shi..." Ying Lie frowned slightly, thinking of something, and asked again: "Is it related to that son-in-law? He left the city with Jun'er yesterday, but he came back alone in the end. Something is not right."
Demon Lord Honglie immediately thought of yesterday's strange situation.
"I thought so too, but I asked the people at Blood God Ridge. According to them, Qing Ge and my second brother seemed to have had some unpleasantness yesterday. They saw Qing Ge driving the warship on his own and leaving first. Then, after a while, my second brother left Blood God Ridge."
"The two of them left at different times." Ying Jie said.
Why did Lu Qingshan just break up with Ying Jun and leave?
It is to create this situation.
Ying Jie continued, "Moreover, at the time when my second brother was attacked... Qing Ge had already returned to the royal city and accepted Ling Wu's challenge. Everyone in the city knows about this and it cannot be false."
This is Lu Qingshan’s most important alibi.
"Where are the men he brought with him?" Ying Lie stared intently and asked, "Were his men in the royal city at that time?"
"Yes, since Qing Ge came to Jianluo King City, he has been restraining his subordinates and not letting them go out easily. So his subordinates, let alone leaving the city, did not even leave the mansion." Ying Jie affirmed.
"He has just arrived. Apart from the men he brought with him, there should be no one else he can call upon."
Ying Lie murmured, "Besides, Jun'er is extremely powerful. He was able to kill him without making a sound. The person who did it must be extraordinary... Whether it's the time or the strength, it doesn't match. It seems that it has nothing to do with Qing Ge."
Ying Jie nodded, his face filled with anger, and asked in a slightly low voice: "Who did this to my second brother?"
"Investigate," Demon Lord Honglie waved his hand, "Mobilize your personnel to investigate the situation in detail. Don't miss any information. I will immediately inform the royal family of this matter and ask them to send personnel to assist in the investigation."
boom!
Ying Lie was furious, and a terrifying pressure filled the entire hall. "It's been a long time since something like this happened! In the Burning Moon Region, someone actually dared to attack the pure-blooded people of our Soldier Demon Clan, and dared to attack my son, Ying Lie. Where did they get such courage!"
He was furious.
"Yes, father." Ying Jie also clenched his hands and said angrily.
The pure-blooded soldier demon was buried and killed. This was the Achilles' heel of the soldier demon clan and an act of treason that violated the will of the superiors.
"Wait." Seeing the eldest son turning around and about to leave, Ying Lie's eyes flashed and he called him again.
"Father, is there anything else you want me to do?" Ying Jie asked puzzledly.
"Let's call Qing Ge over and interrogate him about the situation." Ying Lie said.
"Ah?" Ying Jie was puzzled.
This matter obviously has nothing to do with Qingge, so why bother with it?
"Just do it." Ying Lie did not explain the reason.
Because there is really no reason, it’s just an inexplicable feeling.
He always felt that there was something fishy going on in this matter, and it was related to Qingge.
