Chapter 193 - Daring Enough to Attack the Demon Venerable
Chapter 193: Daring Enough to Attack the Demon Venerable
These souls had been carefully raised in the Soul-summoning Banner, but now Gu Xi had destroyed more than half of them. Mei Qianmeng’s face was so gloomy that water almost dripped out, and she was about to explode.
“Caw caw–”
The crow hovered in the sky and let out a strange cry.
Her expression suddenly changed, revealing a hint of fear.
The other disciples of the demon area did the same. Upon closer inspection, even their bodies were trembling.
Gu Xi did not understand. He subconsciously looked at the crow above his head. At this moment, there was a strange tranquility. Although he did not know what had happened to make Mei Qianmeng reveal such an expression, he could still sense something unusual.
The crow stood on a branch not far away. It slightly tilted its head and stared at Gu Xi with its red eyes. It looked extremely human-like, and there was also a hint of strangeness in it.
“Young man, you’re really not bad. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a powerful and courageous cultivator.”
In the next second, it actually spoke in human language. It made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Mei Qianmeng and the disciples of the demon area seemed to have lost their voices in unison. They lowered their heads and showed a respectful expression towards a crow.
“This Venerable Self has always valued talent. I am willing to give you another chance. Do you want to join my Demon Region?”
Looking at those red beast eyes, even Gu Xi, who had a powerful spiritual sense, felt a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously wanted to hide, and everything was exposed under those eyes.
Hearing him call ‘Venerable Self’, the only one who could be called that in the Demon Region must be that famous Demon Venerable!
It was rumored that the Demon Venerable was very powerful, and even the Sect Masters were very afraid of him. However, due to the treaty of the Righteous Path, his real body could not easily walk out of the Demon Regopm. However, this did not mean that he knew nothing about the outside world.
Now, a wisp of his soul was attached to the crow, and he saw what Gu Xi had done.
“Caw!” The crow suddenly let out a scream.
Mei Qianmeng and the others quickly raised their heads, but when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, their eyes almost popped out. “Gu Xi, how dare you!”
A sharp Sword Qi pierced through the crow’s entire body.
Gu Xi said calmly, “This is my answer.”
The crow was only attached with a wisp of the Demon Venerable’s spiritual sense. Even if the Demon Venerable had tens of millions of abilities, this crow was only a mortal body after all. Moreover, before it could be used, it was destroyed by the Black Soul Sword in one move, leaving no room for him to react.
Even the Demon Venerable could not predict the future.
“Very good, I’ll remember you…”
The Demon Venerable’s voice dissipated in the world. The hatred and viciousness that came from it seemed to be able to materialize, causing people to be extremely shocked.
Mei Qianmeng looked at Gu Xi as if she was looking at a monster. Even she could not help but admire Gu Xi’s courage.
“No one has ever been able to escape unscathed after provoking the Demon Venerable.”
She paused and gloated, “Do you know what is even scarier than death? That is eternal torture. The soul can never rest in peace. Just wait and see if you offend the Demon Venerable.”
All villains died because they talked too much. Gu Xi knew this very well. Besides, if he did not make a move now, would he have to wait for the Demon Venerable to strike first after he refused.
Even though Mei Qianmeng was like this, Gu Xi’s expression did not change. “I only know that it’s better to strike first.”
A strong wind blew in the sky and earth. Even Mei Qianmeng had no choice but to take a few steps back.
The moment the crow disappeared, the surrounding black gas seemed to have been angered by something. It did not even need Mei Qianmeng to control it as it surged crazily.
The sky and earth looked like the end of the world. It was terrifyingly black, and even the light of the sun was completely devoured.
A grayish-white vortex appeared in the sky. It did not look big, but it gave Gu Xi an unprecedented sense of danger. Countless ferocious faces could be vaguely seen, as if they were about to break the seal and run out.
Those sharp whistles could almost pierce one’s eardrums, filled with an indescribable strangeness.
Mei Qianmeng muttered to herself, “Is the Demon Venerable going to come out of seclusion early?”
To be able to create such a big commotion, it must have been the Demon Venerable’s doing. It must have been Gu Xi’s bold move.
After all, no one had dared to touch the Demon Venerable’s spiritual sense. Gu Xi had personally wiped out the crow.
The world was deep. Gu Xi was being affected more and more. He sensed that the spiritual power in his body was also being suppressed by an unknown power. He could not use it at all.
At the same time, he also felt that a powerful and evil aura was rapidly approaching. If he waited for the Demon Venerable’s true body to descend, he might not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
Gu Xi’s current situation could be said to be extremely dangerous. If he fell into the hands of the Demon Venerable, he might as well fall into the hands of those Righteous Path cultivators.
This time, it seemed like he had really gone overboard.
Gu Xi bit the tip of his tongue and blood spurted out. This was the place where Yang Qi was the strongest in the human body. He spat out a mouthful of Blood Essence and heard the howls of countless ghosts. Even his soul was affected. This time, the pain was even more intense than before, blood seeped out of his ears.
However, a lot of the black fog had dissipated. In the pitch-black darkness, a path appeared. It was unknown whether it was the exit or the abyss that was beyond redemption.
However, because the surrounding space was extremely unstable, the violent energy was pressing and repelling each other, so this path was also faintly discernible. It was unknown whether it was an exit or an abyss that was beyond redemption.
He had to leave this place before the black fog completely closed.
Gu Xi used his Blood Essence as a guide and drew a stroke on the Black Soul Sword.
As if she knew what he was trying to do, Mei Qianmeng coldly watched from the side and did not stop him. “Do you think you can escape?”
No one could escape from the Demon Venerable’s hands, and Gu Xi was no exception.
The Black Soul Sword suddenly blossomed with boundless light. At the same time, a pair of hands appeared in the vortex, grabbing toward Gu Xi.
