Volume I: Young Master of the Demon God Chapter 30: You Can't Stand Me, Yet You Can't Get Rid of Me!

Page (1/3)

Su Can clutched his pierced shoulder, cold sweat beading densely across his forehead. “Your father’s death had nothing to do with me!”

Qi Yu’s voice was icy. “Su Can, do you think I’ll believe you? The Fifth and Sixth Elders have already told me everything!”

Su Can’s pupils constricted as he stared at Qi Yu in disbelief. “You killed them?”

Though he found it impossible to believe, that was indeed the truth.

Su Can gritted his teeth and was just about to speak when, all at once, a dark shadow blotted out the sky and descended from above.

The two of them looked up simultaneously. At some point, a demon eagle had appeared in the sky, plunging toward them at terrifying speed!

Its outstretched wings spanned a full ten meters.

A fifth-tier magical beast—the Wind-Riding Demon Eagle!

Qi Yu immediately swung his sword at it.

Clang, clang!

The Cold Cicada Sword flashed with golden radiance, and a sword aura as mighty as a rainbow shot into the heavens.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Can turned and fled.

The demon eagle raised its steel talons and actually shattered the sword aura with ease.

Qi Yu’s eyes widened in shock. He immediately circulated his spiritual energy, preparing to escape.

But the demon eagle suddenly changed direction and swooped toward the fleeing Su Can. Amid Su Can’s shriek, its razor-sharp talons seized him and lifted him into the air.

“Qi Yu, save me!”

Su Can screamed as the demon eagle carried him toward the heavens.

Qi Yu’s gaze was chilling. He had intended to kill Su Can himself and avenge his father. For Su Can to die like this would be far too merciful.

As the demon eagle disappeared into the distance, Qi Yu let out a soft sigh. Once captured by the demon eagle, Su Can was certainly doomed.

For now, the most important thing was finding a way out of this demon cavern.

Qi Yu also extracted the inner core of the demonic rhinoceros. At that moment, a beast’s roar rang out in the distance, carrying with it an overwhelming pressure.

“Not good. A magical beast must have caught the scent of blood here. I have to leave at once!”

Qi Yu stored away the inner core, then flew through the moonlight on his sword. At the same time, he asked inwardly, “Sister Yao Yao, what kind of place is this?”

“If I’m not mistaken,” Yao Yao replied, “we’ve arrived in the Demon Realm.”

Qi Yu’s heart jolted. “The Demon Realm?”

“Yes. A demon cavern like this is similar to a spatial rift between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm. You must have entered the Demon Realm through that torn space.”

Qi Yu flew above the forest. Beneath the moonlight, he saw an endless range of mountains and countless dense forests.

Mountains could never have appeared inside a cave. In other words, he really had arrived in the Demon Realm by sheer accident.

A glimmer of hope rose within Qi Yu. If he had reached the Demon Realm, would he have a chance to see his mother?

“Qi Yu, I must send you back now,” Yao Yao said.

Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Yao Yao stepped out of the Demon God Sword Domain and glanced at him. “You don’t want to go back?”

Qi Yu shook his head dejectedly. “No.”

In truth, Yao Yao had already seen through Qi Yu’s thoughts, but she could not bring herself to say so plainly. She raised her hand, and a massive sword appeared in her grasp.

Swish!

Yao Yao brought the sword down. There was no flash of sword light, no sword aura, and the speed was not particularly swift. It was merely an utterly ordinary stroke.

Yet the space before her trembled violently, then suddenly tore open like a piece of cloth, forming a gigantic rift.

“Let’s go!”

Yao Yao stepped into the spatial rift.

Qi Yu glanced back once before flying into it on his sword as well.

He did not see that from the moment he had appeared in the Demon Realm, a figure had emerged high in the sky and had been watching him calmly all along.

She was a woman of breathtaking beauty. A golden crown adorned her head, and she wore a blood-red robe. Beneath the silver moon, her long black hair fluttered in the wind. When Qi Yu entered the spatial rift, her eyes immediately dimmed.

Just then, another tall figure strode through the air and gently drew the woman into his arms.

“Yan Hong, don’t worry. We will certainly be reunited.”

The woman nodded lightly, tears shimmering in her eyes.

…

Outside the spatial rift.

Inside Qi Yu’s small courtyard, space was torn open, and Yao Yao and Qi Yu stepped out together.

“Qi Yu, I know what you’re thinking,” Yao Yao said, “but now is not the time.”

“Why, Sister Yao Yao?”

“Because the time has not yet come.”

“Then how long must I wait?”

Yao Yao answered calmly, “Until the day you become a Great Sword Immortal.”

Qi Yu was stunned. “A Great Sword Immortal?”

Yao Yao nodded. “That’s right. At present, you haven’t even comprehended sword intent, so you cannot yet be considered a true swordsman. The stages of sword cultivation are Swordsman, Sword Grandmaster, Sword Emperor, Sword Immortal, Great Sword Immortal, and finally Sword God.”

Qi Yu fell silent for a long while before murmuring, “Can I really do it?”

Yao Yao gave him a firm pat on the shoulder. “You must believe in yourself!”

Qi Yu lifted his head, and his eyes gradually brightened. “I will definitely become a Great Sword Immortal!”

For the next stretch of time, Qi Yu devoted himself to cultivation within the Demon God Sword Domain. In addition to comprehending sword intent, he also trained the essence of the Godslaying Sword Art up to the Fifth Sword.

As the sect tournament drew nearer, Qi Yu’s cultivation reached the eighth level of the Profound Entry Realm.

He was in no hurry to advance, because Yao Yao had told him that whenever he occupied a particular realm, he had to comprehend it thoroughly. Otherwise, even if he advanced, his foundation would be unstable.

For example, some cultivators with clearly higher cultivation levels could still be defeated by those beneath them simply because their foundations were unstable.

During this period, Qi Yu also took spiritual medicines and pills, completely opening all eight of the meridians within his body. Yet when he opened the eighth meridian, another one unexpectedly appeared.

Yao Yao told him that this was the ninth meridian, known as the Origin Meridian. It was the main meridian that connected all eight other meridians. Once opened, it could rapidly absorb spiritual energy and channel it into the dantian, while also transforming spiritual energy into spiritual force, which was far purer.

Qi Yu returned to the Elder Hall. The moment he stepped inside, a figure came running toward him.

“Brother Qi Yu!”

Liu Rouxue ran over with a radiant smile.

Qi Yu sensed something different about her. Her aura seemed somewhat stronger than it had been two days earlier.

He stared at her in disbelief. “Xue’er, your cultivation has advanced again?”

Liu Rouxue nodded. “Mm. I’m now at the third level of the Profound Martial Realm.”

Qi Yu frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Rouxue asked uncertainly, “Brother Qi Yu, what’s wrong? Aren’t you happy that my cultivation advanced so quickly?”

Qi Yu shook his head. “That’s not it. Xue’er, your cultivation is improving too quickly. I’m worried your foundation won’t be stable. On the path of cultivation, it’s better to advance steadily and build a solid foundation.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Rouxue thought for a moment and nodded. “Mm, Brother Qi Yu is right. My cultivation really has advanced too quickly. I was so absorbed in the exhilaration of improving that I failed to consider this problem. From now on, I’ll suppress my realm.”

Qi Yu nodded. “Exactly. You must fully comprehend your current realm before advancing to the next one!”

Just then, a commotion arose outside the Elder Hall. The two of them turned to look and saw Zhen Xingfan enter the hall in a brocade robe, carrying a bouquet of flowers and surrounded by a crowd of disciples.

Zhen Xingfan ignored Qi Yu completely and walked over to Liu Rouxue, extending the flowers toward her.

“Junior Sister Liu, I fell in love with you from the moment I first saw you. Please give me a chance!”

His words were full of sincerity.

Again?

In Qi Yu’s eyes, Zhen Xingfan had now thoroughly earned a death sentence.

Liu Rouxue did not accept the flowers. Instead, she tightly linked her arm through Qi Yu’s.

“公子 Zhen, I already have a fiancé. Please show some respect!”

The moment she said this, everyone turned to look at Qi Yu.

Zhen Xingfan glanced at Qi Yu and sneered contemptuously. “Heh. Junior Sister Liu, in what way is he worthy of you? I admit that becoming the Saint Son proves he has some talent for cultivation, but if he were outside, without a powerful family paving the way for him, he would be nothing!”

Zhen Xingfan then looked at Qi Yu and gave a faint laugh. “Qi Yu, I didn’t expect you to survive. Still, there’s nothing wrong with liking someone. Whatever your thoughts are, I don’t care. If you like her, pursue her. We’ll compete fairly.”

The one who laughs last is the true winner.

The corners of Qi Yu’s lips slowly curved upward. He walked over to Zhen Xingfan and said, “You can’t seem to give these flowers away. Why not give them to me?”

Then, under Zhen Xingfan’s stunned gaze, he took the flowers from his arms, inhaled their fragrance deeply, turned to Liu Rouxue, and said, “Xue’er, these are for you.”

Liu Rouxue accepted them happily.

Zhen Xingfan’s expression immediately darkened.

Qi Yu deliberately looked puzzled. “Senior Brother Zhen doesn’t look well. Are you sick? If you’re sick, you should seek treatment!”

“You!”

Zhen Xingfan looked worse than someone who had swallowed a fly. One hand clenched tightly around the hilt of his sword.

Qi Yu chuckled. “What? You want to fight? This is the Elder Hall. Go ahead and try.”

“Are you furious? The angrier you get, the happier I become. I just love watching you hate me while being unable to do anything about it!”

Everyone fell silent.
