651: Chapter 62 Evil Guidance, Inner Demon

"I'm fine."

Hearing Tang Xuejian, Lan Kui, and the others cry out in alarm, Jing Tian responded, then leaned on his sword to stand up, glaring angrily at the sneak attacker: "You attacked sneakily, you have no martial ethics!"

The attacker was a tall, thin man whose attire and makeup clearly indicated he was from a foreign land, holding a pipa.

He carried a strong Demonic Qi, clearly a demon who had taken human form, and was a great demon distinct from the others present.

Hearing Jing Tian's words, the foreign great demon was slightly stunned.

Meng Li and the others were also a bit surprised.

Because the pronunciation sounded strange, as if he had a lisp.

Jing Tian also realized this, and at the same time felt a fishy sweetness and a foreign object in his mouth.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two teeth.

"My teeth!"

Jing Tian exclaimed with his lisp, then pointed at the foreign great demon and said angrily: "Compensate me for my teeth!"

After speaking, he raised his sword and attacked the opponent.

When Xu Changqing saw this, he wanted to go up and help.

Hong Kui, Lan Kui, and the others felt the same way.

After all, judging from the situation just now, this foreign great demon's cultivation was extraordinary, and with Jing Tian's strength, he might not win.

But as soon as they moved, Jing Tian's voice came over: "None of you are to help. Today, I must have a one-on-one fight with this demon!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing, Hong Kui, and the others paused.

Meng Li frowned slightly, suspicion rising in his heart.

It was true that Jing Tian loved to show off, but he was self-aware and would not force himself unless absolutely necessary.

His behavior right now seemed a bit off.

Was it because he was embarrassed and his anger flared up, or was it...?

Thinking of the latter possibility, Meng Li's gaze shifted, and he looked towards the luggage bag Xu Maoshan was carrying, his eyes flickering slightly.

At this moment, the one-on-one fight between Jing Tian and the foreign great demon concluded.

Undoubtedly, Jing Tian was defeated, and quite miserably at that; he was sent flying by the shockwave and landed at the feet of Tang Xuejian, Hong Kui, and Lan Kui.

Tang Xuejian, Hong Kui, and Lan Kui immediately stepped forward to help him up.

Xu Changqing, meanwhile, advanced with his sword to deal with the foreign great demon who intended to strike again.

"Stinky Tofu / Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Jing Tian shook his head, then shouted at Xu Changqing: "White Tofu, step aside, this demon is mine!"

Seeing this, before Xu Changqing could respond, Tang Xuejian said: "Enough, stop fighting if you can't win. Aren't you embarrassed enough already? If you don't have the strength, why act tough? Just let Grandmaster Changqing handle it. If he can't, we still have Mr. Meng."

Hearing this, Jing Tian felt both ashamed and annoyed. An inexplicable fire rushed to his mind, and he immediately roared at Tang Xuejian: "Who said I can't win?"

"I was just careless just now. I'll show you now, I'll definitely beat this demon until he's looking for his teeth all over the ground!"

With that, he was about to raise his sword to attack again.

Lan Kui was worried, and Hong Kui vaguely felt something was wrong. They both grabbed Jing Tian: "Brother..."

Tang Xuejian, however, said: "Does anyone need to say it? It's obvious. With your little bit of strength, you'd get the same result even if you fought a hundred more times."

"You..."

Jing Tian was extremely ashamed and annoyed but had no words to retort. He raised his hand, intending to slap Tang Xuejian, but his hand was caught by Meng Li as soon as he swung it.

Tang Xuejian was first startled by Jing Tian's action, then became angry: "Good! You damn Stinky Tofu, you actually tried to hit me! I..."

"Silence!"

Meng Li shouted softly, then condensed two streams of Pure Heart Spiritual Light with his finger and tapped them into the foreheads of Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian respectively.

Soon, the spiritual light took effect.

Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian both froze, then immediately regained their clarity.

Meng Li appropriately released Jing Tian's hand.

Jing Tian looked at his own hand, puzzled: "What was wrong with me just now?"

Tang Xuejian also felt that she had been acting strangely just now, but her memory hadn't vanished.

Hearing Jing Tian's question, she stared with wide eyes: "You just tried to hit me!"

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Jing Tian flatly denied it.

Although he often bickered with Tang Xuejian, he had never actually laid a hand on her.

Even when Tang Xuejian hit him, he only defended himself and never counterattacked.

First, he believed a true man doesn't fight with a woman.

Second, subconsciously, he liked Tang Xuejian and couldn't bear to hit her.

But just now...

"I'm talking nonsense? Your hand was already raised, how could you not have?" Tang Xuejian pointed out the fact, then added: "If Mr. Meng hadn't stopped you, that slap would have definitely landed on my face. Mr. Meng, Hong Kui, and Lan Kui all saw it, don't try to argue!"

Jing Tian was speechless for a moment, but quickly retorted: "Well, that's because what you said was too harsh, hitting me right where it hurt."

"Ultimately, it was your fault for starting it."

"I was just stating the facts." Tang Xuejian countered, but her momentum unconsciously weakened.

Because she also felt something was slightly off with herself.

It was true that she often bickered with Jing Tian, but because she held favorable feelings for him, under normal circumstances, she still knew how to measure her words. Unless she was truly infuriated, she wouldn't speak carelessly and harp on one thing to deeply provoke the other party.

Seeing Tang Xuejian's momentum weaken, Jing Tian immediately said: "See? It's your fault."

"Who said..."

Hearing this, Tang Xuejian intended to refute, but was interrupted by Meng Li: "Enough, stop arguing. It's not your fault; it's the thing in the box causing trouble."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly captured the attention of Jing Tian, Tang Xuejian, Hong Kui, and Lan Kui.

Meng Li then took out the sealed ancient box from the luggage bag Xu Maoshan had set down.

However, the box showed no reaction whatsoever.

Meng Li paid it no mind, took out a specially made storage pouch, and prepared to contain it, using spatial isolation to prevent the contents from easily absorbing evil thoughts again.

Sensing this, the not-yet-formed Evil Sword Immortal inside the box dared not feign death any longer and immediately began to resist, shouting out loud.

"You can't treat me like this."

"Let me out!"

"Xu Changqing..."

Seeing that the thing in the box was actually calling out to Xu Changqing, Jing Tian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted to interrupt: "Silence!"

The not-yet-formed Evil Sword Immortal immediately quieted down and became compliant.

Towards Jing Tian, the Heavenly Being who was the Reincarnation of the former number one Divine General, It still held a natural sense of fear for the time being.

The next second, the box was successfully stored in the storage pouch.

Jing Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a problem occurred on Xu Changqing's side...

"Zi Xuan, I love you!"

"Zi Xuan, I love you!"

"I love Zi Xuan!"

Meng Li: "..."

Hong Kui, Lan Kui: "??"

Jing Tian: "?"

Tang Xuejian: o((⊙﹏⊙)o ?

Xu Maoshan: (o´ω`o)ﾉ !

After a brief moment of shock, everyone turned in unison to look at Xu Changqing, only to see him swinging his sword while loudly shouting that he loved Zi Xuan.

The foreign great demon facing Xu Changqing had a strange expression, intending to take the opportunity to attack, but upon seeing the gazes cast by Meng Li, Jing Tian, and the others, he immediately felt something was amiss, summoned a gust of Demonic Qi, turned tail, and fled. The rest of the lesser demons also scattered in different directions.

Xu Changqing did not pursue; instead, he swung his sword at the empty air, continuing to shout his love for Zi Xuan.

Jing Tian came back to his senses and asked Meng Li: "Elder Brother Meng, is White Tofu also afflicted by the trick from the thing in the box?"

Meng Li pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, he was likely afflicted by the demon's move and accidentally had his Heart Demon drawn out."

"Heart Demon? What is that?"
