Chapter 63 Crushing
Tu Gang led the way, charging into the valley with overwhelming rage and lecherous intent. His gaze was like lightning, instantly locking onto the embracing figures on the boulder by the Heavenly Pool!
At this moment, his mind was filled with images of tearing the "bastard" who had defiled his forbidden prey into pieces, and then tormenting and ravaging the cold-looking yet lewd Luo Li!
However, when he saw the face of the man on the boulder, he was instantly stunned, his entire body freezing in mid-air. The savage grin and lecherous look on his face froze for a moment, but a moment later, it turned into extreme shock, disbelief, and a rage born from being deeply humiliated!
"It... it's you? Xiao Ming! It's you, this little beast!" Tu Gang's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets, his voice shrill and distorted by extreme shock and absurdity.
He had thought of everything, even guessing it might be some hidden old monster, but he never expected that the man who made Luo Li emit such sounds was actually her Disciple, the Golden Core kid he had seen at the Sect Grand Competition and the council hall not long ago!
This discovery was even harder for him to accept than knowing Luo Li was having an affair with someone else! This was nothing less than naked humiliation!
He, Tu Gang, Elder of War Demon Peak, a Mid Spirit Severing stage expert, was actually... actually inferior to a greenhorn? Luo Li would rather surrender herself to her own Disciple than even glance at him?!
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Tu Gang shook his head wildly, as if trying to shake off this absurd illusion. "Luo Li! You... you have actually fallen to such a level! Committing such sordid acts with your own Disciple? Have you no shame! You have brought disgrace to the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
He was trembling with rage, pointing at Luo Li, incoherent.
At this moment, Elder Yin Gu, who was following behind, saw the situation, and an extremely strange expression appeared on his shriveled face. The ghost fire in his eyes flickered violently, and his hoarse voice carried undisguised mockery: "Tsk tsk tsk... I have lived for so many years, and today I have truly opened my eyes! The Peak Revered Master of Heartless Peak of the Heavenly Demon Sect is actually with her own Disciple... Hehe, Old Man Tu, it seems the beauty you dream of day and night has... very unique tastes!"
These words were no different from rubbing salt into Tu Gang's wounds.
On the boulder, the moment the barrier was intruded upon, Luo Li had quickly put on her clothes and shielded Xiao Ming, who had just draped an outer robe over himself, behind her.
Upon seeing that the intruders were these two old dogs, she was slightly stunned, and then felt anger. These two actually dared to disturb her good mood with her precious Disciple.
Luo Li's face was covered in frost, filled with shame and anger, but her heart sank. Tu Gang and Elder Yin Gu were both Soul Transformation Stage experts, especially Tu Gang, whose cultivation had reached the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage, equal to her own. Elder Yin Gu, although only at the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage, had rather strange methods and was skilled in insidious attacks, making him extremely difficult to deal with.
In normal times, even if she couldn't defeat them, she could maneuver and escape unscathed. But right now, with Xiao Ming here, she had to divide her attention to protect him. With the odds stacked against her, the chances of winning were slim, and both of them might even fall into danger.
"Ming'er..." Luo Li's voice was slightly hurried as she used Divine Sense transmission: 'In a moment, I will hold them off, you immediately use evasion techniques to leave and return to the Sect for reinforcements! Do not hesitate!'
She was already prepared for a fight to the death, even if it meant damaging her Foundation, she would fight for a glimmer of survival for Xiao Ming.
However, Xiao Ming's face was calm. He scanned the manic Tu Gang and the grinning Elder Yin Gu, a cold arc curling at the corners of his mouth.
"Leave? Revered Master, if I leave and you get hurt by these two old dogs, your Disciple will be heartbroken!" His voice was lazy, yet carried a strange calmness, as if they were not mortal enemies, but two buzzing flies.
Luo Li was stunned upon hearing this. Just as she was about to reprimand him for not knowing the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, she saw Xiao Ming suddenly reach out and naturally wrap his arms around her slender and supple waist from behind, pulling her gently into his embrace.
This sudden intimate gesture made Luo Li's delicate body tremble. Her body subconsciously softened, and a red glow instantly flew to her cheeks. Ashamed and anxious, she shouted: "Wicked Disciple! What time is it, and you are still..."
She had just wanted to reprimand this Rebellious Disciple for being so reckless in the face of strong enemies! But then she met Xiao Ming's deep, affectionate eyes, and her heart felt inexplicably flustered. But before she could react, she heard Xiao Ming chuckle domineeringly: "Revered Master, don't panic! They are just two old dogs!"
Then he changed the subject, deliberately raising his voice, full of mockery and pity: "Yo yo yo! Elder Tu, looking at you trembling all over, could it be that seeing me and Revered Master in mutual affection, you, this old toad, are jealous? That's right, people like you who only know how to hide in the dark and fantasize, unable to even touch Revered Master's finger, are a dime a dozen!"
"You... you are good... very good, little beast! I hope you don't fall into my hands later, otherwise I will make you wish for death!" Seeing that Xiao Ming was not only unafraid but also acting so intimately with Luo Li right in front of him, especially that hand wrapped around Luo Li's waist, which was particularly eye-piercing, Tu Gang felt a surge of blood rush to his head. Consumed by jealous madness, his reason snapped at this moment. Blood-colored Devilish Qi surged violently around him, and he was about to pounce regardless of anything.
"Shut up, old dog!" Xiao Ming shouted coldly, his eyes disdainful: "I just like the way you look at me with hate, yet you can't kill me!"
Seeing the kid in front of him with that punchable, cheeky look, Tu Gang was trembling with rage—literally shivering with cold anger!
On the surface, Xiao Ming looked arrogant and disdainful of the two, but in his heart, countless thoughts flashed by in an instant. His Revered Master's worry was not unreasonable. In a battle between Soul Transformation Stage experts, even the aftermath was not something his Early Nascent Soul stage cultivation could withstand. He would indeed become a burden. Summon You Li? No! That Upper Realm consciousness in the Secret Realm was still fresh in his mind. If he summoned her now and it was discovered, the consequences would be endless.
With his thoughts racing, he communicated with the System mall interface in his mind. The glowing list scrolled by rapidly, finally settling on a Medicinal Pill the size of a dragon's eye, pure white throughout, with nine complex pill patterns on the surface.
[Nine-Turn Heaven-Reaching Pill]: Temporarily raises the user's cultivation by one major Realm (up to the Peak of the Void Refining stage), lasting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The medicinal power is mild, with no side effects, and there is slight weakness after the effect wears off, which can be recovered after a few days of rest. Exchange requires villain points: 15,000 points. (Inferior version: at the cost of damaging the Foundation, the exchange points are halved).
Seeing the high exchange points, Xiao Ming's eyes twitched slightly. This was almost all his current savings! But scanning the words "no side effects" and "damaging the Foundation," he didn't hesitate at all. Damage Revered Master's Foundation? Cut off her path? Absolutely impossible! His woman, naturally, should climb the Peak of the Dao with him, how could she leave hidden dangers because of a mere Medicinal Pill?
"Exchange!" Xiao Ming shouted in his heart without hesitation.
[Ding! Consumed 15,000 villain points, successfully exchanged for [Nine-Turn Heaven-Reaching Pill]!]
Subsequently, a subtle spatial fluctuation flashed in Xiao Ming's palm, and a Medicinal Pill emitting majestic energy and an intoxicating fragrance appeared, which he held tightly.
Xiao Ming tightened his grip on Luo Li's waist again, looking at the beauty in his arms with her flushed cheeks and shameful expression, he smiled evilly: "Revered Master... ah... open your mouth, eat it!"
Seeing her Rebellious Disciple's domineering and arrogant appearance, Luo Li was both shy, angry, and full of love. She looked at the glowing pill in the Wicked Disciple's hand, and without asking, she bit her silver teeth, opened her red lips slightly, and let Xiao Ming feed the pill into her mouth, because she knew. Her Wicked Disciple would never harm her.
The moment the pill slid into her throat, Xiao Ming's fingertips inevitably brushed against the soft inner wall of her mouth, bringing a heartbeat-skipping numbness. Luo Li didn't know why, but a very soft moan escaped her throat: "Mm ah..."
Immediately, her delicate body trembled, and she subconsciously blushed. A moving red glow spread from her cheeks to her snow-white neck, adding to her allure.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming subconsciously swallowed, almost losing control and pushing her down again.
Luo Li also felt Xiao Ming's subconscious reaction, her body trembling slightly, but she was immediately attracted by the pill in her mouth.
The pill melted upon entering her mouth, turning into a warm current, and then an indescribable, terrifying aura exploded with Luo Li as the center! Her aura surged wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Late Soul Transformation Stage... Peak Soul Transformation Stage... Void Refining stage!
A terrifying pressure far exceeding before, like a tangible cold wave, swept through the entire valley with Luo Li as the center!
"What?!"
"Peak Soul Transformation... No, Void Refining stage? This, this is impossible!"
The savage grins and mockery on the faces of Tu Gang and Elder Yin Gu instantly froze, turning into boundless horror and disbelief! They could clearly feel that the aura emitted by Luo Li at this moment had completely surpassed them, reaching a level that made their hearts tremble!
Luo Li hovered in the air with Xiao Ming, her hair dancing wildly without wind. The originally ice-blue Devilish Qi became deeper and darker, and the space around her stagnated and twisted. She slowly opened her eyes, as if glaciers were vanishing in them, and her cold gaze, like ice blades, fell on Tu Gang and his companion.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at Xiao Ming who was still holding her waist, her eyes unreadable, with shock, disbelief, but more importantly, an indescribable sense of peace and palpitation. This Wicked Disciple actually possessed such a Heaven-Defying divine object!
"Revered Master, is there any problem dealing with them now?" Xiao Ming looked at her with gentle eyes, a wicked smile still playing on his lips.
Hearing this, Luo Li rolled her eyes at him with infinite charm, slowly breaking free from the big hand that was still causing trouble at her waist, and instantly composed herself, filled with killing intent. Feeling the vast, sea-like power in her body that seemed to hold the power over life and death, she slowly raised her jade hand. Without any complex Moves, she just aimed at the terrified Tu Gang and Elder Yin Gu who were trying to escape, and clenched her hand from a distance.
The space within a hundred feet seemed to become as thick as glue instantly. Tu Gang and Elder Yin Gu realized with horror that they were like trapped in a quagmire, struggling to Move, and even mobilizing their own Devilish Qi had become extremely difficult!
"No! Luo Li... oh no... Peak Master Luo! Spare me! It was Tu Gang who forced me!" Elder Yin Gu was the first to collapse, begging for mercy in a shrill voice.
Tu Gang's face was also deathly pale, but he still tried to hold on: "Luo Li! If you dare to kill me, I am an Elder of the War Demon Peak of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Pavilion Guardian will not let you go!"
Listening to the threat in Tu Gang's mouth, Luo Li sneered, her eyes becoming colder, and she did not hesitate at all. Pointing her fingers like a sword, she lightly swiped at the two.
A dark ice line silently swept across the space. In the terrified eyes of Tu Gang and Elder Yin Gu, it slowly enlarged. Their expressions instantly froze, and the fear in their eyes completely turned into despair. Their bodies, starting from the center of their brows, were rapidly covered by a layer of deep black mysterious ice, and even their Souls were instantly frozen and annihilated!
"Crack..."
With two slight crisp sounds, two Soul Transformation Stage experts who had dominated the Demonic Path turned into black ice crystals filling the sky like ice sculptures, falling down with a rustle, their bodies and Souls completely destroyed!
The battle started fast and ended even faster. It was an overwhelming, instant kill!
In the valley, silence returned, leaving only the energy ripples that had not completely subsided, as well as the faint smell of blood and cold dead silence in the air.
Luo Li slowly descended from the air, her aura still powerful, but her face was slightly pale. The effect of that Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill was fading rapidly, and a sense of weakness struck. Xiao Ming immediately stepped forward and reached out to hold her swaying delicate body.
"Revered Master, are you okay?" He asked with full concern, while secretly shocked: 'Produced by the System, must be a fine product! The side effects seem to be really small!'
Luo Li looked at her beloved Disciple who was full of concern, shook her head slightly, leaned against Xiao Ming's solid chest, feeling his powerful heartbeat, her heart filled with curiosity and dependence on this mysterious Disciple before her, and... love. She pondered for a moment and asked softly: "Disciple, that pill of yours..."
"I obtained it by chance, as long as it can help Revered Master." Xiao Ming interrupted her questioning, gently smoothed the hair on her temples, looked at the ice crystals all over the ground, and teased: "However, Revered Master, you are too violent!"
Looking at the Revered Master baby who was about to explode, Xiao Ming smiled triumphantly, domineeringly pulled her into his arms again, and under her slightly struggling and shameful resistance, domineeringly locked onto those alluring red lips, and smiled evilly: "My Li'er, I love you no matter what!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Li's pretty face flushed red, and she slightly closed her lips, but under the repeated teasing of Xiao Ming's tongue, she completely gave up resistance, allowing his tongue to taste her mouth wantonly.
From initial resistance, Luo Li began to slowly reach out and hug Xiao Ming's waist, responding passionately, and her body gradually relaxed, softening down.
... (Three thousand words of romantic description omitted here...)
Thereafter, from time to time, alluring moans and light hums came from the entire valley, as well as Luo Li's sentences that sounded like scolding but were full of resentment.
"Wicked... Wicked Disciple...!"
