Chapter 48
The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes. “Do you truly not wish to return to the Heavenly Realm?”
Ye Piaoling replied, “I don’t. I have no feelings for that place.”
Right now, she only wanted to return to the Prime Minister’s Mansion and lie on her bed counting her money…
Midnight.
The appointed time arrived.
The Heavenly Lord descended from the sky, accompanied by several Heavenly Soldiers.
The moment they landed, they were surrounded by demon guards.
“Oh no, it’s an ambush!” one Heavenly Soldier cried out.
The purple-eyed Heavenly Lord’s gaze pierced through the circle of combatants, landing on Ye Piaoling, who was nestled beside the Demon Emperor.
“You actually betrayed us.”
“I never agreed to your plan back then,” Ye Piaoling said innocently. “You were the one who assumed I would agree and acted on your own.”
The Heavenly Lord looked at her with disappointment and frustration. “You, a spirit of the Heavenly Realm, have actually given yourself to the Demon Emperor, disregarding the lives of all beings in the Three Realms!”
Ye Piaoling sighed helplessly.
There was no way to explain this.
She was currently in a dream. The Three Realms and all living beings were illusions-they were fake. Only her own life was real…
The Demon Emperor gently raised his hand and made a gesture.
The Demon Guards immediately surged forward to attack!
“Kill!!!”
The demons were numerous and powerful. An anxious Heavenly Soldier asked, “My Lord, what should we do?”
“Don’t panic,” the Heavenly Lord said coldly. “Strike.”
In the blink of an eye, the sounds of slaughter shook the heavens as the two sides engaged in fierce combat.
When immortals fought, various techniques and skills flew through the air, creating countless brilliant arcs of light. The scene was magnificent.
“Wow, amazing.”
Ye Piaoling couldn’t help but reach out her small hands and clap.
The Demon Emperor knit his brows. “Have you never seen a fight before?”
Ye Piaoling said, “I have, but for a grand scene like this, I usually see it on TV.”
“TV?” the Demon Emperor asked.
Ye Piaoling replied, “Yes, TV. An all-encompassing ancient divine artifact.”
After dozens of rounds, no victor had emerged.
Though the Heavenly Soldiers were few, they were elites. The Heavenly Lord’s magic power was even more formidable; ordinary Demon Guards were no match for him at all.
Seeing the situation fall into a stalemate, the Demon Emperor took to the air, striking at the Heavenly Lord with his palm.
The two of them instantly engaged in a duel.
Ye Piaoling watched the battle tensely. In terms of cultivation, the Heavenly Lord and the Demon Emperor seemed evenly matched, making it difficult to determine who was superior.
No wonder the Heavenly Lord had wanted her to play dirty against the Big Demon King to secure a victory…
Another dozen rounds passed.
A sharp, cold light flashed in the Heavenly Lord’s purple eyes. He suddenly took a direct hit from the Demon Emperor’s palm, using the momentum to pivot his sword and thrust it straight at Ye Piaoling!
“Since you have chosen to fall into depravity, for the sake of the Three Realms, I can no longer let you live!”
The Heavenly Lord’s sword lunged toward Ye Piaoling’s heart.
The sword light was like a rainbow. Even before the blade reached her, the powerful spiritual energy was enough to shatter her heart’s meridians!
Ye Piaoling’s pupils shrank violently.
Holy crap!
Was this the legendary Heavenly Punishment?
A figure streaked across before the sword could strike, sweeping her into his arms like lightning and pulling her aside.
*Squelch!*
The longsword slashed through the Demon Emperor’s wide black sleeve, and blood dripped from the tip of the blade.
Under the force of the powerful attack, the surrounding air trembled, and spiritual light rippled out like water!
Ye Piaoling was held tightly in the man’s arms; he had used his body to block the entire attack.
As the spiritual ripples dissipated, Ye Piaoling was completely unharmed. She looked up in shock. “You…”
The Demon Emperor’s face was somewhat pale; he seemed to be injured.
Ye Piaoling frantically checked the man’s arm, where the sword had pierced through and was still bleeding.
“This seat is fine,” the Big Demon King said in a low voice.
Not far away, the Heavenly Lord’s expression was also grim.
To attack Ye Piaoling just now, he had forced himself to take a palm strike from the Demon Emperor, and the blood in his chest was churning.
Ye Piaoling suddenly turned around, glaring at the Heavenly Lord in anger. “How dare you ignore martial ethics and injure my Big Demon King!”
With that, she flicked her wrist, and the Golden Hairpin in her hand shot out with a *whoosh*!
The Heavenly Lord was stunned.
The Peach Blossom Spirit was originally not supposed to know martial arts…
Watching the Golden Hairpin streak toward him, the Heavenly Lord hurried to dodge, but he was a step too late.
The hairpin whistled sharply, grazing his arm!
The Heavenly Lord’s face changed instantly.
There was a potent poison on the hairpin that would seal his cultivation!
“Withdraw!”
Making a prompt decision, the Heavenly Lord quickly crushed the Space Teleportation Talisman in his sleeve.
With a loud boom, the talisman activated, and the Heavenly Lord and his Heavenly Soldiers vanished.
“Did they run away?” Ye Piaoling breathed a sigh of relief.
It was just as well that they ran. If the fight continued, it would only end in mutual destruction!
The Demon Emperor looked down at her. “Your skills are quite good.”
“You’re just finding out?” Ye Piaoling said proudly. “I actually know martial arts!”
With that, she hurriedly took the man’s sleeve, worrying over his wound:
“Quick, let me see if the injury is serious!”
The Demon Emperor said, “It’s no matter. Apply some medicine for this seat.”
“Okay!” Ye Piaoling nodded.
The Demon Guards began to clear the battlefield while Ye Piaoling and the Demon Emperor returned to the room.
Ye Piaoling removed the man’s robe, revealing a gruesome sword wound across his perfectly sculpted muscles, blood still flowing.
“Tsk, this is simply a waste of a masterpiece!” Ye Piaoling sighed in heartache. “Oh, my heart bleeds for you…”
Having said that, she lowered her head and began to lick the man’s wound wantonly.
*Slurp, slurp…*
The veins on the Demon Emperor’s forehead throbbed.
This Little Vixen… was she treating his wound, or was she playing with fire?
