Chapter 583 Ji Yan
"What kind of 'no other choice' would make you kill your own best friend?" Jiang Li wiped the blood from her lips, glaring at him with intense hatred. However, when her gaze fell upon the demonic energy emanating from him, her anger gradually vanished, replaced by a cold and indifferent expression. She smiled, "Wrong. It's not about your 'best friend,' but about your 'target,' your 'purpose.' Of course you could bring yourself to do it."
A crack finally appeared on Su Yanqing's calm face. There was nothing in the crack, only the howling cold wind blowing in and in, blowing into people's hearts.
Jiang Liqian summoned the Heavenly Sword again, and this time, a terrifying cold light finally flashed from its blade: "Since you are a demon, then we are irreconcilable enemies of good and evil."
"No matter how many lives you have, I'm going to make you stay here today! I'm quite curious, what is your purpose in deliberately condescending to mingle among us!"
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Liqian's figure pierced Su Yanqing's heart like a streak of light.
Su Yanqing's eyes flashed with anger. He opened his five fingers again, trying to grasp the blade of the Shitian Sword. But unlike last time, this time his fingers were severed at the root before they even touched the sword energy surging from the blade. His entire arm was quickly wrapped in a bolt of lightning, like a small purple snake flashing with lightning. In the blink of an eye, the place it crawled over turned into charred bones.
Su Yanqing was shocked and quickly grabbed his right hand with his left hand. Before the lightning bolt shot up to his neck, he used force to tear off his right arm.
Bleeding.
He groaned, enduring the excruciating pain, and blocked Jiang Liqian's attack again. This time, he didn't use his hands, but instead used layers of demonic energy to block the divine light of the Heavenly Sword.
Jiang Liqian's eyes sharpened.
Su Yanqing looked at her with a pale face, separated by the entanglement of divine light and demonic energy.
Both sides knew that the other side had held back quite a bit in their initial exchange, despite their seemingly aggressive and tense demeanor, and the deep-seated, indelible hatred between them.
But still...
But still.
"Su Yanqing, that's not your real name, is it?" Jiang Liqian asked in a hoarse voice, trying hard to see his eyes clearly.
Su Yanqing turned her head away in a flustered manner.
After a long while, a hoarse voice echoed in the empty Qimingzhai: "My name is Ji Yan."
Ji Yan, Ji Yan...
As Jiang Li murmured the name, she suddenly trembled, a chill rising from her feet to her head, her hands and feet instantly turning icy cold.
She had heard of that name!
She had heard of that name!
This name, when she was dying, when she was fleeing like a stray dog in a remote border town, amidst the cries of despair and the sight of countless bones, haunted the wailing and weeping people like a demon.
The matter remained unresolved for a long time.
"The Demon Lord's son... the young master of the Demon Clan, Ji Yan..." His eyes glazed over for a moment, so much so that his body trembled uncontrollably.
She actually became friends with someone like that!
She actually let him kill her best friend!
Even now, she still hopes that he has some reason for doing so!
What is she doing?! What is she doing?!
Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, never expecting that Jiang Liqian would know the true identity of this name.
"You know...me?" This is a strange question.
Jiang Li moved her lips slightly, her eyes finally darkening completely.
"Why should I know a bloodthirsty and ruthless killer like you!" She coldly uttered these words, then drew her sword at him like a madwoman, her aura, eyes, and movements all changing completely.
It was a fight to the death.
Ji Yan was stunned. In the instant his body froze, Jiang Liqian ruthlessly chopped off his other arm.
He took a step back, and a huge purple lightning array appeared beneath his feet, its dazzling light shooting into the sky and triggering a celestial phenomenon.
The thunder roared violently in the churning clouds, mountains and seas collapsed, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Ji Yan was stunned again.
He could sense Jiang Liqian's murderous intent towards him this time.
She really wanted to kill him.
Is it because he is a demon and she is a human?
Is this the only path that humans and demons can take?
The excruciating pain of the lightning had begun to seep into every inch of his flesh. Amidst the menacing purple lightning, he asked her, "Li Qian, can we not be friends anymore?"
Ha, what a joke, what a joke!
Jiang Liqian didn't want to say a word. She raised her sword, the blade wrapped with thousands of lightning bolts, and thrust it towards his brow with immense force.
The murderous intent was fully revealed.
Ji Yan knew her answer.
He closed his eyes, and his bamboo-moon-colored robe fell to the wind like white flowers in a mourning hall that would never bloom again.
Without realizing it, he opened his eyes and found them completely devoid of color.
His demonic energy suddenly surged outwards, causing the earth to shake and mountains to tremble. The overwhelming demonic energy instantly rushed into his body, and in the blink of an eye, his arms were restored to normal. With a flick of his long arm, a silver, gleaming halberd appeared in his hand.
The two streaks of light collided instantly, and the world suddenly changed color, with thunderous roars resembling a divine punishment about to fall.
Large-scale lightning arrays require a trigger, and Jiang Liqian gave Ji Yan no chance to catch his breath and get away.
However, just as the lightning struck and she thought she could finally kill Ji Yan, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her mind, and then she collapsed to the ground, unable to get up no matter what she did.
The lightning-attracting array lost its trigger, leaving only the powerless roar of thunder.
She struggled to lift her head, and through her blurry vision, Ji Yan stood in the storm, halberd in hand, his eyes cold and indifferent, like a high and mighty god of war. There was an insurmountable chasm between him and her, and between him and them, these mortal ants.
An overwhelming ancient pressure pressed down on her, and she suddenly vomited a mouthful of bloody, sweet liquid. Her internal organs shifted almost simultaneously, and she felt as if she were about to be crushed.
With a mouthful of metallic taste, Jiang Liqian felt for the first time so clearly the gap between her and him—it was as if they were not on the same latitude, in the same world.
That was a power comparable to that of a god, truly belonging to a powerful demon.
Therefore, countless people kept silent about the tragic events of five hundred years ago, and even dared not face the catastrophe that destroyed the world. Therefore, no matter how unwilling Zhenfeng was, he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of repairing the sealing array of gods and demons. Therefore, even though his master was already so powerful that no one could force him to do anything, he still did not hesitate and resolutely sacrificed himself.
All I hope is that people, the people of this world, can continue to live.
At this point, Jiang Liqian stopped being stubborn and sticking to her own selfish desires. She immediately sent a message, ordering the elders to take immediate action and kill the demon at all costs.
Regardless of her personal grudges with Ji Yan, she absolutely cannot allow the cultivation world to repeat the mistakes of five hundred years ago!
