Qu Zhu's laugh echoed in that deserted place as he looked at the demon who used to tail him and calls him his master.
"What a waste of that beauty. Did you have to rob his life and took his body as your new vessel for vengeance? Fennu, you are indeed a devil." Qu Zhu chuckled.
The three cultivators were stunned by hearing Qu Zhu and seeing Zi Xin acting he wasn't himself and those curse marks on his body. There was no way Zi Xin was possessed by a demon.
"I spared your life but you didn't appreciate it and you even came back to me trying to kill me with the help of these cultivators? Are you mocking me?" Qu Zhu exclaimed.
Zi Xin laughed like he was losing his mind making Yong Jie and Yong Xian worried.
"Zi Xin. Stop it." Yong Xian said, pulling Zi Xin closer to him.
"f**k off!" Zi Xin exclaimed, pushing Yong Xian away from him. "Can't you see? I am not your Zi Xin! Zi Xin is dead that day I drowned him in the river. He's dead already and doesn't call with that name again."
Qu Zhu was amused seeing how these cultivators were stunned of the revelation. Especially the man beside Fennu and Xiao Qing. They were at a loss and it was the perfect time to take action. He leaped to Xiao Qing, planning to take Xiao Qing with him but someone suddenly appeared in mid-air and swung his sword. It was the other cultivator dressed in white robes whose look wasn't bad. If he was a woman, then he would be as stunning as Xiao Qing.
Qu Zhu gestured his hand and Yao Xue sword got thrown to the side with an invisible force, almost half of Jinghua got buried in the sand from the huge impact.
Yao Xue wasn't surprised how strong the demon was since he could sense its soul power. Such a powerful demon suddenly appearing out of nowhere was a mystery.
Fennu charged to Qu Zhu only to be thrown to the sand with a swung of Qu Zhu's hand.
"f**k!" Fennu cursed as his back landed on the sand. "How weak is this freaking body!? So useless!"
"Zi Xin!" Yong Xian called making Fennu who was wearing Zi Xin's body glared at Yong Xian.
Did he not told him not to call him that name?
"These cultivators are useless." He muttered as he stood up and looked at Yao Xue who called Jinghua back to his hand and Qu Zhu, who were having a real fight. "Thank the demon Lord that that Xueguo cultivator is capable. He might kill that narcissist."
Yong Xian joined in the fight and Yong Jie ran towards Fennu who was clutching his abdomen.
"Zi Xin." Yong Jie said and Fennu sighed in annoyance.
Another dense human.
Yong Jie helped Fennu stood up. "Why are you helping m—"
Before Fennu could muster the last word, Yong Jie threw a punch on his face, sending him again to the ground with a thud.
"That's for fooling us."
"You!" Fennu exclaimed but he couldn't fight back! He could only curse.
This Zi Xin's body was beyond weak like a normal woman! Wasn't he born from a cultivator family and surroundings!? This crazy f**k!
"A simple death wouldn't be enough from what you did to Zi Xin." Yong Jie said as he stared blankly to Fennu.
Yong Jie knew very well that after being possessed and acquiring the body of the victim, there was no way to save the victim.
"I didn't devour his soul. I only need the body." Fennu said which was true.
"You think that will still spare you from death?"
Fennu chuckled bitterly. "Death? I was knocking on death's door a few days ago when I was in the river. I know that fucker will send me back to the abyss today but dying in a cultivator's sword is much better."
Yong Jie couldn't hurt Zi Xin more than that punch. Not when he was wearing Zi Xin's face.
Fennu was actually good as dead. He was tattered enough that consuming souls, essence nor energy could save him. Qu Zhu really had it rough for him.
"Talk about sparing my life, your rotten ass." Fennu muttered as he glared at Qu Zhu.
Yao Xue and Yong Xian's attacks were synchronized, one distracting and the other attacking, yet Qu Zhu could read their attacks repelling it with his dark yet invisible qi.
Qu Zhu was a demon general who practiced his own cultivation thousands of years ago before he got sealed away together with the other demons.
Qu Zhu stooped wasting too much energy from repelling the cultivators' attacks and materialized a black sword from the wind. His dark energy flowing on the sword.
Qu Zhu charged to the two cultivators. The heavy clung and screeching of their clashing swords echoed in the air as they fought, their movements were fast.
"I hope they can kill that Qu Zhu." Fennu said as he glanced at the heated fight.
Yong Jie frowned. "Of course, even Yao Xue alone can beat that bean sprout. You really did plan these things to happen, didn't you?"
Yong Jie still couldn't believe Zi Xin was gone. That the Zi Xin he spent with a few days ago wasn't the real Zi Xin but was just pretending to be Zi Xin. Yong Jie wished to pierce the demon to death but he couldn't bear seeing Zi Xin's hurt face. There must be another way to pay for what this demon did.
Fennu looked at Yong Jie as he tried to sit up but failed so he just leaned the side of his body on the ground while laying down, looking for a comfortable position. "It was just pure luck."
Yong Jie looked at the behaved Fennu.
"You're not a devil and feral compared to those demons I encountered."
Fennu glared at Yong Jie, flashing his red eyes for a second making Yong Jie's hairs on his arms stood up.
"Don't underestimate me. It's because I have this fragile body, I couldn't even move a muscle without feeling any pain after getting a weak blow from that Qu Zhu!" Fennu angrily barked at Yong Jie.
"You're not Zi Xin, indeed." Yong Jie said, after seeing the demon's red eyes flashed.
Fennu narrowed his eyes. "You just realized? Stupid."
