Everyone's expressions froze, not expecting that the Fire Rat could actually kill the Saint Ten Exorcists. This showed that these two underlings of the Demon Lord were quite capable, and even the third one, Ouyang Zhentian, using all his strength, still allowed it to escape.
The eighth-ranked Guan Jingsheng maintained his poker face and suddenly remarked, "So even you can't defeat it!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhentian instantly became furious: "What did you say? I can't defeat that rat? Let me tell you, it ran away because of me. Even if it didn't die, it would be crippled at best; we would have called it a draw!"
Indeed, Duck was left with nothing but bravado after his defeat. This proud Ouyang Zhentian could not tolerate anyone questioning his abilities; questioning him was tantamount to questioning the Ouyang Clan.
Sikong Xueyi couldn't help but stifle a laugh, but soon a bad premonition arose in her heart: "If you encountered the Fire Rat, then what kind of opponent would Azure Wind Sword One and Gu Liu Ma face?"
Sure enough, as soon as this was mentioned, everyone's expressions became serious. Lan Ran Qingtian clenched his fist; if his father and Gu Senior encountered the Wolf King, they might be fine. However, if they faced the Demon Lord, the chances of victory would be very low.
He turned to look at the mountains across from him, worry etched on his brow: "Senior Feng, where exactly are you?"
The sky began to lighten. Xiang Xueer had been battling this Lizard Spirit for an entire night. No matter how she dealt with it, it stubbornly refused to open its mouth.
She stood on its head while the Azure Wind Sword pierced into the Lizard Spirit's chest, causing it to tremble in pain. The tail she had severed behind her had long since dried up from blood loss.
This was unbearable; when had she ever resorted to such torturous methods seen on television? If only she could stab directly into its chest with her sword; that would solve everything and retrieving the Shennong Ding would be a piece of cake.
At that moment, it seemed like assassins never cared about people's names before. But why couldn't she bring herself to harm this Lizard Spirit? Xiang Xueer reached out and pulled the Azure Wind Sword out from its body.
"Spit it out! I'll give you one last chance!" Xiang Xueer had lost her patience and raised her sword, preparing to decapitate it. Yet this creature stubbornly refused to relent.
"I have never seen such a stubborn fellow. This temper and personality are quite similar to mine," Xiang Xueer asked in confusion, "Is it worth it? To risk your life for that woman? If I were you, I would prioritize my own reputation. If you lose your life, there will be no hope left!"
This statement was indeed reasonable. Lizard Spirit looked at Xiang Xueer with his eyes for a long while before slowly saying, "You are right, but let me tell you, for true love, it is worth it!"
True love? Xiang Xueer twitched her brows slightly, and suddenly the arrogant expression of Li Yunyang appeared in her mind. She quickly shook her head and raised the long sword in her hand, preparing to stab down.
"Don't worry, I'll set you free!" she said, her red pupils contracting suddenly. Just then, a voice came from the opposite side, "Shirley, wait a minute, don't kill him yet!"
The speaker was Fat Ancestor, followed closely by Li Yunyang, Lian Cheng Xue, and Ling Zhu. He hurried over and pulled her back, saying, "Don't kill him; he is still useful!"
Useful? Indeed, Xiang Xueer put away her sword. Fat Ancestor walked over and asked, "Lizard Spirit, I can help you restore Jing Yue's consciousness, but you must tell us everything."
"What? You can restore Jing Yue's consciousness?" Lizard Spirit suddenly reacted violently. He stared at Fat Ancestor in disbelief and said, "Even Demon Lord couldn't do it; how could you possibly achieve that?"
"What Demon Lord cannot do, I can!" Fat Ancestor said confidently. "Back then, when Witch was in my Luring Demon Pot, I forcibly extracted her soul. The reason she is not fully conscious is that she infused her powerful magic into Xiang Xueer's body, causing her three souls and seven spirits to be somewhat misaligned. I just need to return them to their respective positions, and she will naturally awaken!"
I see now. Xiang Xueer turned to look at Fat Ancestor and asked again, "Since you can wake that woman up, can't you pull the magic out of my body?"
The fat man shook his head after hearing her words. "I can't do that. So it's very likely that this magic will permanently enter your body and become an essential part of you."
Tch! Xiang Xueer frowned and cursed under her breath: Although this magic is powerful, it has turned me into something neither human nor demon. It's really frustrating and concerning.
Ling Zhu turned to look at Lizard Spirit's severed tail and couldn't help but smirk as she patted Xiang Xueer on the shoulder. "Wow, you really are ruthless."
Xiang Xueer glanced at it with her red eyes and said, "I don't want to either, but it just won't spit out the Shennong Ding. It's forcing me to take drastic measures. If you don't come, I will prepare to kill the chicken to get the egg right away!"
The current situation no longer allows them to show mercy. If she harbors pity, the tragedies that the Demon Realm brings to the human world will make it impossible for her to forgive herself for a lifetime. When necessary, she can only act decisively.
Li Yunyang turned his head and secretly glanced at Xiang Xueer. Ever since she became a demon, her methods had become ruthless. Could it be that the power of the Witch has influenced her?
Just now, Fat Ancestor's words made Lizard Spirit half-convinced. He kept asking, "Is it true? Can you really cure Jing Yue?"
After answering him no less than a hundred times, Lizard Spirit finally obediently spat out the Shennong Ding. Then there was a loud bang, and after a puff of smoke, he finally transformed back into human form. However, the wound on his chest seemed to still exist, and the severed tail on the ground had disappeared.
It is said that lizards can regrow their tails after losing them. As for demons, all sorts of strange things can happen. However, he had already been severely injured by Xiang Xueer, and he struggled to stand up from the ground before revealing Demon Lord's intentions to everyone.
"When Demon Lord rescued Jing Yue from the Luring Demon Pot, she was already in a daze, unable to speak or seemingly hear what I said. So, Demon Lord placed her at Tianshan Peak. Until three days ago, he suddenly reappeared and said he was willing to fulfill my wish with Jing Yue. I was very happy at that time. Then Demon Lord made a request that I must collect the Ancient Five Divine Artifacts. But as long as I could be with Jing Yue, I would go through fire and water for it. So he gave me a hint to come to this desert. However, when I arrived, I found that someone had already taken action ahead of me. Therefore, I planned to ambush you after you obtained the Shennong Ding. The rest you already know!"
"This Demon Lord is truly despicable. Even with his daughter in such a state, he still uses her as leverage!" Lian Cheng Xue cursed inwardly. Standing beside her, Xiang Xueer immediately sneered, "To the Demon Lord, even his own daughter is nothing but worthless trash once she loses her value."
She was absolutely right. Previously, the Demon Lord came for the power of the Witch. When he realized that he couldn't retrieve that power, he decisively abandoned saving the Witch and sought to strongly recruit Xiang Xueer. Such a heartless person should not be expected to care much for his own daughter.
At this point, Xiang Xueer stepped forward and stood in front of Lizard Spirit: "You need to return to Tianshan Peak right now and bring back the Witch. But you must not let Demon Lord find out. If he knows you returned alive without obtaining the Shennong Ding, he will definitely suspect that you leaked secrets. At that time, your life will be in danger."
