Chapter 110 The Origin of the Blood Demon

Mao Fangping seized the opportunity created by Ma Rufeng and used a huge talisman to seal the clouds, preventing them from rotating. He then slashed at the clouds with the Money Sword. Boom! With a loud bang, the Money Sword instantly disintegrated, and the talisman exploded. He was also injured and unable to fight anymore.

But at this moment, in the sky, a huge colorless sword energy took advantage of the excellent opportunity created by everyone and slashed into the blood cloud.

There was a boom.

The blood cloud was dispersed by one blow, and the sky immediately returned to normal. Bright rays of sunlight shone on the earth, like the dawn of victory.

"Is it time to end?" A figure in black in the distance looked at the blood-red sky being shattered and muttered to himself, "I just don't know if you will hesitate."

With a sigh, she leaped up and disappeared in a flash.

call out!
At the moment when the blood cloud was dispersed, a figure formed by the blood cloud appeared. Her whole body was blood-colored as if it was made of blood cloud. Ye Beixuan's heart trembled. This should be the drought demon. It was really weird.

Swoosh! The Evil-Slaying Flying Knife attached itself to the Southern Ming Fire and shot away in an instant.

With a whoosh, the flying knife pierced through the bloody man, the power to kill evil burst out, the blood color began to fade rapidly, and the azure flame began to burn.

The only reason they were able to defeat Hanba was that they fought together in a round-robin battle. Otherwise, even if they joined forces, they would probably return empty-handed, after all, the strength of the two was not high.

"Now." Li Xianglian's voice sounded in Ye Beixuan's ears.

The two men swung their swords at the same time, and a huge sword energy fell again. Just when the sword energy was about to hit Hanba, the blood color completely faded away, and Ye Beixuan could see the face of the woman who stole his rabbit meat.

is her?

The sword energy suddenly dissipated, and Li Xianglian's heart trembled. He hesitated for a moment, why?
At this moment, Hanba took the opportunity to escape quickly into the distance. The two swords were no longer combined, and Li Xianglian was exhausted and fell straight down with her head tilted.

Ye Beixuan didn't care about what he was thinking. He quickly jumped up and hugged her as she was falling, and landed gracefully on the ground.

"Young Master Jin is truly a rare talent."

"Yes!"

There was a burst of compliments all around, and everyone's eyes were full of admiration.

Ye Beixuan ignored her and put Li Xianglian down and said, "Help me take care of her."

After saying that, he pretended to leave, but actually he chased in the direction where Hanba had escaped. He wanted to find out what was going on. With the ability of Nanming Lihuo, even Hanba would be in danger.

"The drought demon will definitely be injured this time, and we must eradicate it completely."

"Hanba is powerless now. Let's go after her quickly. If she escapes, there will be endless troubles." Others echoed.

Tiankui Mountains, Goddess Peak.

There was no one here for a long time. In order to resist the drought demon, they had all gathered in the Tianji Pavilion. Even Chen Qianru, who had been maintaining the formation, had left.

At this time, in the ancestral hall on the back mountain, a staggering figure, covering his shot chest, walked towards the ancient well step by step.

The road behind the mountain is still winding, and the trees on both sides seem to have never changed. Looking at this unchanging scenery and the road I used to walk often, I also see a familiar figure slowly emerging at the intersection.

Ye Beixuan frowned slightly, and his heavy steps showed that he was in a heavy mood at the moment.

Hanba sat by the well, leaning against the well mouth, using the well mouth to support her body so as not to fall down. She looked at Ye Beixuan with a slight smile.

"I knew you would be the first one to chase here." She paused and said, "You hesitated in your final attack just now. Why?"

Ye Beixuan sighed and looked at this beautiful woman. It was hard to imagine that she looked exactly like the playful and cute Zhao Yunge.

"I want to know one thing." Ye Beixuan stood with his hands behind his back and said in a flat tone.

Hanba looked at him, his eyes involuntarily showing tenderness. He said, "What is it? I really want to know why you didn't kill me after seeing my peerless beauty. It can't be just because you are jealous! I know you are not that kind of person, although you may be that kind of person."

"I am indeed very shy. No man is not shy, but I am not a pig." Ye Beixuan said lightly without denying it.

In such a tense atmosphere, Hanba actually teased: "Oh? Why is that? I think that of all my body, only this skin catches your eye."

Ye Beixuan said calmly: "It is indeed because of you."

Hanba was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are interested in my body, but you are not averse to it. What is it? If you wanted to become famous, you could have killed me just now."

"I am the source of cholera in this world. I have killed countless people. Have you seen those zombies? I killed all those people." In fact, these people were killed by the Blood Demon, but now she is the incarnation of the Blood Demon, so naturally she has to bear this sin.

"The troubles in this world are never caused by one person. Even if I kill you, there will be new sources of trouble in this world." Ye Beixuan continued softly, "So, I am not killing you today to save the world." A strange look flashed in Hanba's eyes, and the azure flame in his chest became brighter and brighter in their eyes.

Hanba whispered, "Then what do you want?"

Faced with this soul-searching question, Ye Beixuan shook his head and whispered, "I don't know. I once wanted to stay in Qingshi Town forever, but fate made me travel the world. I also thought about staying in Da Zhou and being an idle person, living out my life like an ordinary person."

“But in the end, it didn’t happen.”

"I've also asked myself what I want. I think maybe all I want is a simple life, but you don't want me to live well."

Hanba was slightly stunned, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. To survive sounds so simple, but it is so difficult to do. Some people work from sunrise to sunset for three meals a day, which seems to be an ordinary and happy life. But who knows that they also have countless troubles, and even want to give up everything and let themselves go countless times.

Even if one lives for thousands or even millions of years, can one just let go of the experiences before that, the right and wrong, the gratitude and resentment, the love and affection?
If you ask yourself, will the person you are madly in love with now still be unforgettable in ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years?

So everything is temporary, and loneliness is the norm.

The flames in her chest continued to burn, wantonly destroying her body. Although it was still not very strong, what kind of flame was the Nanming Lihuo? Even a trace of it would be as difficult to remove as a maggot on the tarsal bone.

Their eyes met again, each wanting to find something in the other. For a moment, only the sound of the breeze blowing through their hair remained.

Ye Beixuan said softly: "Let me tell you a short story!"

Hanba replied softly, "Okay."

"There was a person in green clothing named Ba, the daughter of the Yellow Emperor. Chi You led an army to attack the Yellow Emperor, so the Yellow Emperor ordered Ying Long to attack him in the wilderness of Ji Province. Ying Long stored up water, and Chi You asked the God of Wind and the God of Rain to unleash a heavy storm. The Yellow Emperor sent down a celestial maiden named Ba, and the rain stopped. Then the Yellow Emperor killed Chi You. Ba was unable to ascend again, and no more rain fell in her place." (From the "Great Wilderness North Classic" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas)
"She's so similar to me, abandoned by her family, neither human nor ghost, a disaster." Hanba sighed for a long time, then gently stroked the weeds beside the ancient well. She smiled slightly and said, "Sometimes I wonder, if I were a stone, a tree, or a weed, would I be happy too?"

After a long pause, Ye Beixuan shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "I cannot answer this question for you. I am not grass, not stone, and certainly not a tree."

"Zifeiyu, know the joy of fish?"

"Good, good, what a great line! If you're not a fish, how can you understand the joy of a fish?" Hanba's originally teasing face turned serious, her eyes full of admiration. Then she said in a deep voice, "You don't kill me, you don't arrest me, and you don't dare to ask me. It seems it must be my appearance. I guess it's because you know someone who looks like me!"

After she said this, her eyes dimmed and she became her substitute again.

Ye Beixuan suddenly stared at her, obviously agreeing with her.

"I believe you've already guessed the relationship between her and me. I can only tell you to be careful of her. She's planning something big, but I don't know what it is." Hanba continued, "Even everything I do is part of her plan."

At this point, her eyes lit up and she said, "Perhaps, her goal is the same as mine, to unite the blood demon!"

"Blood Demons merged into one?" Ye Beixuan frowned, wondering, could there be more than one Blood Demon? If one was so terrifying, how could he deal with more?

"Yes, I'm only the most severely polluted incarnation. In fact, there are two others who are also polluted." Hanba said in a deep voice: "I can maintain a certain degree of sanity because I am not completely polluted. But once the blood demon merges, the polluted person will completely become a new blood demon."

"What is her purpose?" Ye Beixuan asked softly.

"I don't know." Hanba replied softly.

"Do you know the origin of the Blood Demon?" Ye Beixuan suddenly asked. A strange thing like the Blood Demon could not have appeared for no reason.

"No, I haven't completely merged, and many things are vague, but what is certain is that its origin may be related to the ancient immortals. Perhaps we can only know it after the Blood Demon and the other two are completely merged into one." Hanba replied.

"Ancient immortal?" This was the first time he heard the term.

Hanba explained, "The current era of cultivation is merely the Dharma Ending Age, and the path to immortality has long been cut off."

"In ancient times, there were legends about nine heavenly immortals."

If this is true, is the origin of the Blood Demon due to a certain immortal? Ye Beixuan fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere became silent again.

A gust of wind blew by, and Hanba suddenly whispered, "Can I ask you a favor?"

"What's the matter?"

"kill me."

"Why? Don't you want to live?"

"No, compared to living such a meaningless life, I would rather die, especially I want to die in your hands. Only by dying in your hands can I be free like the wind. I am me, I am no longer anyone, and I don't need to be disturbed by the devil anymore." Hanba said with a somewhat sad tone.

The atmosphere began to become silent. After a long moment, she smiled and said, "I am about to die. Before I die, I have a small wish. Can you grant it to me?"
