Please, Young Master, Slay the Demon!
Chapter 245 - 37 Hush Money [Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch “Spring River and Flower in Moonlight”]_1

...

When she heard Chu Liang say that he didn’t need to use the Dragon Ball to kill her, her first reaction was anger.

No matter how she usually uses her beauty to charm others, as a powerful cultivator of the Sixth Realm, she inevitably had her own pride.

Now, a cultivator who was far weaker than her claimed that he did not need any aid like the Dragon Ball to kill her, which she found absurd.

If it were not for the power of the Black Dragon Secret Realm, would you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?

"Heh." Demon Princess Liu scoffed coldly, before replying, "Then you can try it."

Although she had previously damaged herself by using blood magic to escape, she has managed to recover after a bit of rest. At this moment she circulated her cultivation to its fullest extent, instantly radiating a layer of red glow!

But Demon Princess Liu still retained a shred of sanity. After dealing with him once or twice, she knew that the boy in front of her was incredibly cunning, so she did not rush to attack.

Fearing another trap.

He said he wouldn’t use the Dragon Ball, but would he really not use it? What if this was just another plot to bewilder her?

But Chu Liang didn’t make a move.

When someone gives you the impression that they are setting traps, but they do not set any trap at all, this could be a trap in itself.

Caught between certainty and uncertainty, Demon Princess Liu was made hesitantly by Chu Liang, refraining from making a move, waiting to see what he would do. And just when her entire focus was locked on Chu Liang, a curse spell fell onto her.

Luo Yao silently approached on top of the mountain and pointed from afar.

Immortal Law, Five Labour Seven Injuries!

Thud.

This curse was impossible to avoid, and Demon Princess Liu was immediately struck. However, if this were to be inflicted on someone at the same cultivation level as Luo Yao, it would immediately render them completely incapacitated. In Demon Princess Liu’s case, it only added slightly to her injuries.

"Hmm..." Demon Princess Liu grunted, and her Divine Sense detected Luo Yao’s presence.

I almost forgot this kid has helpers.

But an ant’s helper is still an ant, what use can it be?

Demon Princess Liu was wary of the Dragon Ball in Chu Liang’s hand, but she had no fear of Luo Yao, who was merely of the Fourth Realm.

Immediately, she transformed into a streak of bloody light, directly rushing towards Luo Yao on the mountainside! If she could capture him, she could potentially threaten the boy to open the Secret Realm and let her out. Such was the thought in her mind.

But just as she approached that area, she suddenly felt a suppression on her cultivation.

The Forbidden Land!

This was one of the witchcraft techniques Luo Yao had cultivated.

Chu Liang had suffered from this move before, after which he could only rely on his physical strength to dodge. But when this move was used on Demon Princess Liu, it could only slightly suppress her cultivation but not completely forbid it.

This was the advantage brought about by the suppression of cultivation. When the gap was huge, the effects of Divine Skills applied to you will be greatly reduced.

But even if it was reduced, the effect was still present.

At this moment, an enormous fist imprint descended from the sky! Unaffected by The Forbidden Land, it landed squarely on Demon Princess Liu!

Demon Princess Liu easily blocked it with an upraised hand, immediately followed by an overwhelming onslaught of negative emotions and thoughts—sadness, bitterness, sorrow, resentment... wildly assaulting her consciousness!

This attack came from Monk Pu Shan, who was waiting nearby. He stepped into The Forbidden Land using the Wanfa colored glaze body technique which nullified its effect, resulting in the combined dual attack with Luo Yao. His subsequent move was one of the forbidden techniques of Buddhism he had specifically learned for this trip.

Sea of Suffering Wave Fist!

The Yunque Temple classified such dark Divine Skills as forbidden, not because they were weak, but because they were too powerful. Their destructive power was so great that it violated the doctrine of Buddhism.

After being hit by this fist, Demon Princess Liu felt a wave of unrest that was difficult to suppress, consequently distracting her.

However, she did not sustain any significant harm, only experiencing layers of weakening. Her gaze was cold as she looked at the two in front of her, raising her hands.

The Blood Control Technique of the Red Clothes Palace is known worldwide.

With just a moment’s effort, she was confident that she could drain the blood from the two people in front of her, reducing them to dry corpses!

Pff——

A loud explosion echoed as blood flowers splattered across the sky.

Contrary to expectations, it wasn’t Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan that had blown apart, but Demon Princess Liu’s body.

Unlike her previously complicated divine skills, this time a Golden Dragon Sword Qi inscribed with cascading lightning symbols roared past, instantly blasting Demon Princess Liu to death!

Plain and pure!

This is the difference that power brings. As long as one’s True Qi reaches a certain level, even the simplest methods can achieve the most direct results.

A fatal blow!

The overflowing Sword Qi of the Beheading Red Famous Sword leveled the slope! Chu Liang understood and appreciated the ecstasy it exhibited. Ever since entering White Bone Mountain, it had been smothering its desires. At this moment, it finally got its release!

Just like a volcano erupting!

Everything that had happened thus far was a part of a meticulously planned strategy. Chu Liang first drew Demon Princess Liu’s attention, then Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan ambushed her. After her attention was diverted, Chu Liang unleashed his strongest move, killing her with a single blow!

For a character like Demon Princess Liu, if the Beheading Red Famous Sword was used directly, it would not achieve such a successful result.

When she attacked others, it wasn’t that she was completely defenseless. But in that instant, even spreading out her Divine Sense she didn’t have enough time to react. What the Beheading Red Famous Sword needed to successfully kill a master, solely relied on that fragment of time!

But the moment Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan landed, trembling violently, they were not slightly injured. Blood seeped from their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and every other orifice of their bodies, quickly transforming them into terrifying blood men.

The divine skill of Demon Princess Liu had already activated. Despite acting on them for mere instants, it was enough to leave them at their wits’ end. If Chu Liang’s sword had fallen any slower, they might have dropped dead right there and then!

This was the horror of a Sixth Realm expert.

Your divine skills, even if they utilize Immortal Law, have little effect on them. However, their divine skills need to touch you for only a mere moment to spell catastrophe.

"Incorporate this into your bloodstream, it can speed up recovery." Chu Liang hurriedly handed them each a Dragon Blood Crystal.

Both of them consumed their respective gems and began to focus on healing their injuries.

While they recuperated, Chu Liang took this opportunity to extend his Divine Sense, quickly discovering a Blood Jade Bracelet in the grass.

It was the treasure left by Demon Princess Liu. It should be a high-grade Magic Artifact with storage capabilities. Everything she had accumulated in her lifetime should be stored inside.

...

A good while later, Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan finished their healing regimens. Although their injuries were far from completely healed, they had managed to stabilize. Without any more enemies, they could naturally recover at a slower pace.

Opening their eyes, they saw Chu Liang pushing two of the magic artifacts in front of them.

Apart from the Blood Jade Bracelet found earlier, there was also a quaint Black Pendant. Made of a material that seemed to be neither wood nor jade, this artifact had exploded out of Master Mu’s body.

Chu Liang turned the pendant to Monk Pu Shan, then handed the bracelet to Luo Yao, saying, "These are items left by two people from the Demon Sect. I’ve already received a large portion of the spoils from this trip. These should be shared with you two."

It’s not that he’s generous.

Since their adventure at Zhennan Region’s Mountain started, Chu Liang had been claiming the lion’s share of their exploits. Although he had exerted the most, Luo Yao, and Monk Pu Shan’s roles were indispensable.

During the latest fight, had the other two not confronted Demon Princess Liu head-on, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to deal the fatal blow.

Chu Liang understood well the saying, ’Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.’

During this trip, he had acquired the Black Dragon’s Dragon Ball, equivalent to controlling the entire Secret Realm. This was an enormous gain! If he were to become greedy for such trifling benefits, others might not be willing to venture alongside him in the future.

He had put careful thought into the distribution of the spoils.

Luo Yao came from Sanjue Valley, with a history of both good and evil. Demon Sect items would be more useful to her, so he gave her Demon Princess Liu’s bracelet. Monk Pu Shan, however, was from Yunque Temple. The Demon Sect items were of little use to him. Since Master Mu studied Array Techniques, his items would probably be more valuable to the monk.

"How could we accept this..." Monk Pu Shan scratched his bald head, saying, "You killed the enemies."

"I’m not asking you to take these for free." Chu Liang smiled saying, "I hope you can do me a favor."

"What is it?"

Chu Liang solemnly said, "I hope you can keep the fact about me obtaining the Black Dragon’s Dragon Ball a secret."
