The village beauty and me!

Hearing the word "evil cultivator" from the other party's mouth, Chen Huan felt a pang of unease.

He clearly practices dual cultivation, which, while not exactly righteous or righteous from a certain moral standpoint, can hardly be considered evil.

However, he soon realized that the evil cultivator the other party was referring to was the killing knife he was holding.

This is a special weapon that I stole from another evil fellow who is very skilled at using unorthodox methods.

This knife contains a great deal of resentment, a significant portion of which comes from that snake demon.

The manifestation of this Yin energy directly suppressed the evil spirits within Liang Xiaojing's body.

The results were even better than Chen Huan had imagined.

So he forced himself not to think about it anymore and focused on moving the knife closer to Liang Xiaojing.

The hope is that this method can be used to try to pull the evil entity inside Liang Xiaojing's body away, or simply kill it.

This way, the poor girl could be saved without harming Liang Xiaojing.

In fact, progress has been increasingly smooth.

As the knife was about to cut her skin, Liang Xiaojing trembled more and more violently, and her pupils began to change into normal human shapes from time to time.

  

The fact that Liang Xiaojing switches back and forth between being possessed and being possessed indicates that she could regain consciousness at any time, which is a very good sign.

Chen Huan's face lit up with joy, and his emotions became increasingly excited.

The killing blade in his hand originally accumulated a huge amount of Yin energy, which had a powerful destructive and deterrent effect on both living people and non-humans.

If we can successfully absorb the evil entity within Liang Xiaojing's body, the power level of this knife will likely at least double.

This is like killing two birds with one stone, achieving two goals at once.

But just as he was becoming increasingly smug and brimming with confidence, Liang Xiaojing spoke up again.

It was that same old, hoarse, and utterly malevolent voice: "You bastard, are you trying to force me into a fight to the death?"

"Let me tell you, no matter how powerful this knife is, it can't save this girl!"

"At worst, I'll risk my life to the point of annihilation, but this girl will never wake up again!"

Chen Huan didn't take it too seriously at first. He held Liang Xiaojing's body with one hand and held a knife in the other, ready to continue his attack.

But a few seconds later, he realized something was wrong; Liang Xiaojing's consciousness was being constantly eroded.

His face began to show an extremely painful expression, as if he was about to have a mental breakdown at any moment.

"There's actually this trick up his sleeve?" Chen Huan was a little flustered.

The evil entity within Liang Xiaojing's body attempts to destroy her consciousness, that is, her physical soul.

This was something Chen Huan never expected.

The fatal flaw is that he has absolutely no experience in this area, nor does he possess any ability to prevent or defend against it.

If this continues, I'm afraid Liang Xiaojing will be turned into an idiot before that evil thing is completely eliminated.

If that's the outcome, it's better not to save them at all; otherwise, countless troubles will fall on your shoulders.

As a result, Chairman Xu, Huang Peiyun, and others who came with him were all held accountable.

In this dire situation, with lives at stake, Chen Huan quickly moved the knife away from Liang Jingjing's body.

"Don't get agitated. We can talk things out calmly. There's no need for a fight to the death!"

"After all, you've cultivated for so long, and it's no small feat to have achieved what you have today."

"You yourself don't want to just disappear into thin air, do you?" Chen Huan's tone was not as harsh as before.

But I felt quite awkward inside.

What's going on here? I've actually started negotiating with evil spirits?

Liang Xiaojing spoke again, her tone and voice filled with smugness, "Hmph, ignorant brat, are you scared now?"

"You know that my cultivation is not easy, so why do you insist on pursuing me so relentlessly, trying to kill me, and using my hundreds of years of cultivation to refine your killing blade?"

Chen Huan coughed twice. "If you hadn't insisted on taking over Liang Xiaojing's body, causing her to go crazy from time to time and completely unable to enjoy the life a young girl should have, would I have come here to pick a fight with you?"

"Why don't you just focus on cultivating your own skills? Can't you learn from the others and find a secluded mountain forest to live a peaceful life?"

That makes sense.

After all, Chen Huan only knew one person, Lao Bai, who had been hiding in the forest for over a thousand years and had cultivated quite well, yet he hadn't come out to show off like this and harm people everywhere.

However, the thing inside Liang Xiaojing's body flew into a rage after hearing this, roaring, "Bullshit, bullshit!"

"If your accomplices hadn't coveted my cultivation and gone to great lengths to find me and ruin my physical body, would I be dragging this remnant soul to cling to the body of an ordinary mortal?"

Chen Huan was stunned. "You were framed by someone else?"

"Then why did you choose Liang Xiaojing in particular?"

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Huan's mind, and he deduced several possibilities.

According to the information Li Saifeng had previously provided, Liang Xiaojing, as a relative of the person in charge of the waterworks, was a victim of the Ma family's despicable methods and was implicated.

Does the Ma family have such powerful methods to destroy the physical body of a cultivation monster and then deliberately arrange for its soul to attach itself to Liang Xiaojing?

If they had such a master, why didn't he appear or do anything during the time they were fighting with me?

"What are you trying to argue about?"

"This killing knife in your hand is the very thing that destroyed my body back then."

"Now that the knife is in your hand, if the person who attacked you back then wasn't your accomplice, then who was it?" Liang Xiaojing's throat was completely hoarse, and the sound she uttered could only be heard with careful listening.

"What the heck?" Chen Huan blinked.

He glanced subconsciously at the knife in his hand.

He couldn't help but recall the scene when he fought that evil cultivator.

Then a strange smile appeared on his lips. "The things in this world are just too coincidental."

"I killed the person who destroyed your body and took his knife, and now that knife is at your throat again."

"No wonder you have such hostility and fear towards this knife; so that's the reason behind it."

Liang Xiaojing, her voice hoarse, questioned, "What did you say? You killed that guy?"

"Could this be a lie?"

Chen Huan snorted, "Why would I need to lie to you?"

"You should know that with my strength and this knife, it would be too easy for me to obliterate your soul."

"Besides, this is the first time I've met Liang Xiaojing. I'm only here to treat her on behalf of someone else."

"If you insist on fighting to the death, I really don't care. I'd be happy if I could just kill you."

Seeing that the evil entity inside Liang Xiaojing's body had stopped speaking and seemed to be hesitating, they realized that it was no longer speaking.

Chen Huan pressed on, adding, "Actually, this matter doesn't necessarily have to escalate to the point of being utterly horrified and mentally unstable."

"Everything is negotiable..."
