Chapter 23: The Power of the Demon
"Come to me if you can, don't hurt Xiaofen." However, the cold eyes did not waver at all, as if the original human emotions had been lost, and he looked like a robot.
The woman standing in front of him was beaten away again and seriously injured.
The man yelled with all his strength, "What kind of hero is bullying a woman? Come on, you fucking come at me, I am your target."
However, the man's irritation seemed to be of no use, and the expressionless man still slowly walked towards the woman lying on the ground.
The man immediately turned to the woman lying on the ground and shouted, "Xiao Fen, leave quickly and leave me alone. Staying will only hurt you. Leave quickly!"
The woman didn't make any move, as if she had resigned herself to her fate. Or maybe she was content to die with the man.
It was like a demon from hell walking toward the woman step by step. This was a torture even worse than killing a man. For him, it seemed to be a kind of enjoyment.
Finally, that gentle slap hit the woman and the man's heart.
"What's the sound? Is it heartbreak? Then why can't I feel the pain?" the man murmured to himself.
The woman left without leaving a single word, only that last look back.
The eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia, admiration and resentment were deeply imprinted in the man's heart.
The man shouted unwillingly, "No...get out of the way, Xiaofen..."
He tried his best to crawl to the woman's side. His heart was broken and he shed tears. He didn't care even though his body was covered in bruises. The man only saw the woman lying on the ground.
"Fen, don't leave me. We still want to watch the sunrise and sunset together, and travel around the world together. You know, I can't live without you. Please, don't leave...
Ah, ah, Xiaofen."
Holding the woman's still warm body, the man shouted to the hell messenger, "Hahaha, I swear here! One day, I will cut you into pieces... into thousands of pieces..."
His eyes were so firm and his voice was so decisive, showing how much determination he contained.
It looks like she is laughing, but actually she is crying.
The man's heart has become incomplete at this moment.
This seemingly crazy behavior, in the eyes of the hell messenger, is undoubtedly just the last struggle of a desperate man, because the man's life is still in his hands.
However, the reason why he is called the Messenger of Hell is entirely due to his madness and cruelty, and his perverted character makes his whole person distorted.
Therefore, he disobeyed the "king"'s order and let the man go privately. Perhaps in his mind, he also wanted to see how the reptile-like weak man would cut him into pieces...
Slowly Li Zechuan opened his eyes, only to find himself in darkness. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and his thoughts returned to that sad day.
I don't know how many times this was, but the nightmare-like scene appeared in Li Zechuan's mind again.
The contemptuous eyes and disapproving sneer of the hell messenger before leaving once again made Li Zechuan feel his own weakness.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Li Zechuan looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but think, "Am I not fighting with ghosts? How come I am here? What kind of place is this?"
Although his head still hurt, it did not affect his movements. With the moonlight, Li Zechuan came to the door and turned on the light.
When I found myself in Mr. Yang's cabin, I immediately thought that Mr. Yang must have saved me after I fell into coma.
I suddenly felt very ashamed. As a cultivator in the Qi refining stage, I had fallen into the hands of a ghost twice and was saved by others. I had some doubts in my heart.
"Li Zechuan, Li Zechuan, no matter how hard you try, you are still so useless. Even if you practice the immortal magic, it still can't make you a strong person? Then why practice? Why don't you stay anonymous from now on and not care about worldly affairs.
But Xiaofen's revenge is waiting for me to avenge, and the master's last wish is also waiting for me to fulfill. If I just give up like this, can I still be worthy of them?
What a joke, you still want to take revenge, you can't even fight a little ghost that has no shape, and you still try to defeat a more powerful enemy?
This is not called bravery, this is called stupidity.
For a stupid person like you, even if you practice for hundreds or even thousands of years, you will still be as weak as before. Give up. The enemy is too powerful and you cannot defeat them.
But what I am pursuing is the path of domination, and I am not allowed to retreat at all. Do you want me to give up halfway? I...I can't do it.
Don't be naive, there are many extremely powerful immortal cultivators who have not been able to succeed. It is impossible for you to succeed.
Only by giving up can you live a comfortable life.
With the strength you have now, you can get wealth, beauty, status, etc. that are out of reach for ordinary people.
Stop struggling, enjoyment is the way to go, hehe!"
Li Zechuan's eyes were slowly closing, as if he wanted to fall asleep.
"Xiao Li, wake up quickly. This is the temptation of the inner demon. You must not fall asleep. Quickly use your skills to resist it with your internal strength."
Just when Li Zechuan was about to fall asleep, a quick reminder sounded in his ears.
Li Zechuan woke up immediately. According to the method taught by this person, he started to run the exercises, and the spiritual power spread to the whole body. A cool feeling rushed to the spiritual platform, and another black air flow was forced out from it.
When the spiritual power wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, the black air flow was very cunning and hidden, leaving no trace. The spiritual power in Li Zechuan's body failed and could only return to his Dantian.
Although his spiritual power failed to destroy the black energy, it still made Li Zechuan wake up.
Li Zechuan wiped the cold sweat on his head and said to himself, "It's so dangerous."
Looking around, it turned out that the person who reminded him was none other than Mr. Yang.
Then he asked him, "Mr. Yang, what happened just now? How could I be deceived by my own inner thoughts?"
Looking at the anxious Li Zechuan, Mr. Yang shook his head and smiled, "Xiao Li, I thought you were different at first, but why are you so restless now? Could it be that a small setback made you lose your temper?" A square inch?"
Listening to Mr. Yang's accusation, Li Zechuan was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he recalled what he had done in the past few days and suddenly felt that just as Mr. Yang said, he had lost the ordinary heart that a cultivator should have.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he missed ghosts twice in a row, but it is more due to the instability of the Taoist heart. Then he starts to feel sorry for himself when he encounters some difficulties, so that the inner demon finds an opportunity and takes advantage of it to show off his power.
Thinking of this, Li Zechuan immediately calmed down his mind, circulated his spiritual power throughout his body, and then regained his composure.
Mr. Yang saw that Li Zechuan had regained his composure, nodded, and then said, "Xiao Li, I can feel the huge energy contained in you, which is far beyond comparison with people of the same age. This is why I pay special attention to you.
After all, it is rare for someone like you to have such cultivation at your age.
However, it is precisely because you have been practicing for a short time that you have energy that does not match your realm, so you cannot achieve perfect control.
It's like an incompetent and weak king, but he has extremely powerful ministers. Over time, he can no longer restrain them, causing them to have "different intentions" and no longer take the king's orders seriously.
At the same time, as long as the king makes the slightest move, the officials will react.
In the same way, the realm of a cultivator is like this king, and the energy in his body is like his ministers.
So when you use the energy in your body, if you cannot fully control them, they will "rebel".
Moreover, you have also been attacked by the power of ghost souls. This strange energy weakens your mind to the extreme, aggravates the restlessness of energy in the body, and gives the inner demons a chance to show off their power.
The situation just now was very dangerous. If I were a step too late, the consequences would be disastrous."
Speaking of this, Mr. Yang also had a frightened expression. Perhaps as he said, he valued Li Zechuan very much and was afraid that he would suffer heavy losses.
After listening to Mr. Yang's explanation and combining it with the classics he had read, Li Zechuan immediately understood the reason.
It turned out that his realm was too low and he could not fully control the spiritual power in his body, which led to the invasion of inner demons. Fortunately, Mr. Yang appeared in time. Otherwise, once he was tempted by the inner demons, his cultivation would regress at best, or he would be ruined at worst.
Although Mr. Yang is not an immortal cultivator, his talk about inner demons is well known to all cultivators.
Looking at Li Zechuan who was bowing his head in deep thought, Mr. Yang warned, "Xiao Li, don't go to Dream Lake anymore, especially at night. You can't fight the ghost now. Although you were in danger twice, you were saved by me by chance."
, but next time I can't guarantee that I can save you from the ghost in time.
Especially since you are in a dangerous period now, please listen to my advice: before you can fully control the energy in your body, don't use force easily. The power of inner demons is not so easy to resist."
Looking at Mr. Yang's concerned expression, Li Zechuan felt warm inside. Although the person in front of him was sometimes hateful, he was indeed his savior.
Perhaps Li Zechuan was still wary of Mr. Yang at the beginning, but as they got along later, Li Zechuan discovered that Mr. Yang had no intentions for him, but only cared about and valued him.
As if he had made up his mind, Li Zechuan said firmly, "Mr. Yang, in fact, I am an immortal cultivator. You should also have heard about the power of immortal cultivators and the incredible methods they use.
Although I am not strong enough now, I promise you that one day, I will kill that ghost and fulfill your wish so that you can let go of the shackles in your heart."
In that short moment, the expression on Mr. Yang's face was extremely wonderful. First, he was surprised that Li Zechuan was an immortal cultivator. After all, he was a legendary existence, but now he actually appeared in front of his eyes.
Then when I heard Li Zechuan's assurance, I was touched and worried at the same time. I just felt that I had not misjudged the person, and I couldn't help but feel relieved.
Of course, when Li Zechuan was not sure, Mr. Yang would not let him take risks.
Now that it was revealed, there was no need to hide it anymore, and then Li Zechuan told Mr. Yang some interesting things about the cultivation world.
Everyone is attracted to immortal cultivators and yearns for them. Even the elderly in their sixties are not immune to this, so they drag Li Zechuan around and ask him questions, which makes Li Zechuan very uncomfortable.
Of course, Li Zechuan did not take the opportunity to retaliate. Instead, he answered all questions and spoke in detail, which immediately satisfied Mr. Yang's curiosity.
Of course, Li Zechuan also selected a technique for Mr. Yang, hoping that Mr. Yang would gain something on this path, which would not only enhance his strength, but also extend his life span.
The two of them chatted until dawn, and then they ended.
While Mr. Yang was out doing morning exercises, Li Zechuan started practicing in the house.
Although the ghost's attack caused Li Zechuan extreme pain, it did not cause any substantial damage to him, and therefore did not affect Li Zechuan's actions.
