Blood! A sky full of blood!
Even the originally fresh air was filled with a thick scent of blood.
Wails! Cries of pain! Roars of anger! The sounds echoed endlessly.
Li Xiaonan hovered in the air, coldly locking eyes with Huang Qi.
The dark golden Spirit Armor was stained with blood, not his own, nor Huang Qi's, but the blood of those Demon Immortals who had plotted against him.
He frowned and said coldly, "Huang Qi, have you had enough?"
Huang Qi raised an eyebrow and sneered, "What do you mean by that? I don't understand."
A glimmer of white light flashed in Li Xiaonan's eyes, his inner fury burning against the Inner Demon, as his black pupils gradually turned white.
He cursed angrily, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Those Demon Immortals would come charging at me without your control?"
Huang Qi chuckled lightly and replied, "Those Demon Immortals are my people. They died, and I haven't mourned them yet. What about you? Are you feeling sorry for them? In war, there are always casualties. Li Xiaonan, when it comes to the demeanor of a general, you're still lacking!"
Demeanor of a general, my foot!
He didn't care about their lives or deaths; driven by selfish desires and unscrupulous means—such a "demeanor of a general" was something Li Xiaonan had no interest in.
Li Xiaonan tightened his grip on the Carefree Fan, adjusted his breathing, and charged at Huang Qi once more.
Huang Qi smiled as he stepped back. With a push of his hands, two Demon Immortals lunged toward Li Xiaonan.
He spoke with conviction, "Their deaths pave the way for my future unification of the Immortal Realm, so their sacrifice is valuable!"
"Shut up!" Li Xiaonan exclaimed, stepping into the void and twisting his waist backward.
War brings death, and the Demon Immortal was never part of Li Xiaonan's group; if he were killed by the Black Dragon, it would have been one thing.
Yet Huang Qi had sent the Demon Immortal flying toward Li Xiaonan for self-detonation.
Treating lives as weapons against enemies truly infuriated Li Xiaonan!
In a fit of rage, he surged forward, locking onto the opponent's Immortal Infant with a single palm strike, sending the Demon Immortal flying away once more as he charged toward Huang Qi.
The open space in front of Cloud Sky Pavilion transformed into a battlefield, blood staining his vision and coloring the setting sun.
The twilight seemed like a large hand slowly descending, yet it was blocked from moving forward by the towering sign erected before Cloud Sky Pavilion.
That sign suddenly appeared as a dividing line; outside Cloud Sky Pavilion was a scene of carnage and bloodshed, while inside lay a tranquil paradise.
Several times Yun Moyu attempted to rush out to join Li Xiaonan but was repeatedly stopped by Spirit Weapon.
"Staying behind is the greatest help to him! If you go out there, he will definitely be distracted," Spirit Weapon said coldly, watching Huang Qi's every move with indifference.
Ling Kui also landed beside him and heard him say, "That despicable guy! Using lives to hinder Xiao Nan! It seems this is going to be a tough battle!"
Ling Kui frowned slightly and remarked, "Xiao Nan should be stronger than the Yellow Emperor."
"That's natural, but this kid is too soft-hearted! If he had directly killed the two Demon Immortals charging at him instead of sealing their Immortal Infants, perhaps he would have already captured Huang Qi by now!"
Ling Kui furrowed his brow, keeping his gaze fixed on Li Xiaonan without distraction.
At this moment, Li Xiaonan had become a figure drenched in blood, with his face and body covered in it.
In just three short breaths, the Yellow Emperor commanded three Demon Immortals to self-destruct right in front of Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan managed to stop the first one but was too late to prevent the second.
Though the shockwaves would not harm Li Xiaonan's body, they relentlessly tormented his soul.
"Roar!" Li Xiaonan bellowed, his cold white eyes staring fiercely at everything around him.
As a Demon Immortal flew toward him, Li Xiaonan ruthlessly reached out and grasped the creature's heart.
This was the only way! This was the only way to stop Huang Qi!
Only by doing this could he save more Demon Immortals from Huang Qi's torment!
As for you, I can only say one thing: I'm sorry! Enter the cycle of reincarnation sooner, and perhaps in your next life, you can escape the path of beasts and be reborn as a human!
This brutal scene was witnessed by Huang Qi, and everyone inside Cloud Sky Pavilion saw it as well.
The Spirit Weapon sneered, "Huang Qi is finished!"
Meanwhile, Fisher's Song, who had been hiding at the back, suddenly clutched his head and screamed.
"Ahhh!"
His long hair gradually turned red, and his beautiful eyes were stained a bright crimson.
Ling Kui was taken aback and rushed forward, asking, "Fisher's Song, what happened to you?"
Suddenly raising her head, her eyes filled with intense anger, she pushed Ling Kui away with a palm and flew into the air, shouting, "Why! Why did you kill my people!"
After saying this, she flew towards Li Xiaonan.
At that moment, Li Xiaonan was completely focused on Huang Qi and did not notice the changes within Cloud Sky Pavilion.
A cold smile flashed across his lips, and in the next second, he appeared right in front of Huang Qi.
He grabbed Huang Qi by the collar with one hand and clenched his fist, striking it hard against Huang Qi's cheek.
"Bang!"
That handsome face instantly twisted in pain.
Li Xiaonan said coldly, "Does it hurt? I promised Ling Kui's father that I would kill your mother! Now you've killed so many Demon Immortal, your life is truly worth a lot!"
Huang Qi was slightly taken aback but quickly regained composure and replied, "Heh! Those Demon Immortal died at your hands! What does that have to do with me? If you want revenge for them, just self-destruct!"
Li Xiaonan narrowed his eyes; Huang Qi's calm demeanor irritated him greatly. "You think I won't kill you?"
"Not that you won't! But that you can't! You can't kill me! Even if you tear me to pieces and grind me to dust, I will still come back to life! You should know that both of us are Demigod! In this realm, only gods can kill us!"
Li Xiaonan frowned. Although he strongly disagreed with Huang Qi's words, there was one thing he couldn't deny: even if he killed Huang Qi now, within a hundred years, he would return.
But even so, he still wanted to kill him. If he couldn't do it once, then twice! If twice didn't work, then three times!
With a heart full of rage, Li Xiaonan thought as he slowly raised his right hand into a claw.
"Pop!"
A faint sound echoed, the sound of something being pierced.
Li Xiaonan's hand remained suspended in mid-air, yet the sound emanated from his own body.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, as if the Divine Infant was being tightly gripped in someone's palm, unable to move.
An indescribable sense of powerlessness crept into Li Xiaonan's heart, and he instinctively released Huang Qi.
Huang Qi's eyes were filled with terror and shock, staring at Li Xiaonan's abdomen as he continuously retreated.
Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow and followed Huang Qi's gaze downward.
To his horror, he saw a fist protruding from his abdomen.
Judging by its delicate appearance, it seemed to belong to a woman!
It dawned on Li Xiaonan that someone had pierced through his body with a punch; his Spirit Armor—no! It should be called Spirit Armor!
And his Divine Body had been penetrated by that punch!
Li Xiaonan turned in shock to look behind him, where an exquisite face was filled with rage.
He couldn't help but frown and stammer, "Fisher... Fisher's Song..."
"Hmph! I am not Fisher's Song; I am Mo Shang. And I must thank you for helping me regain my memories completely! However, for killing my kin and disturbing my Dark World, you shall not be spared! Today, I will cripple your cultivation. You better take care of yourself!"
As Mo Shang spoke, she slowly withdrew her right hand, and Li Xiaonan instantly felt as if his intestines were being twisted together.
The pain made beads of sweat form on his forehead like soybeans, leaving him unable to utter a single word.
His body softened and fell down.
"Brother!" Heiwa, who had been lingering outside the battle circle, never took his eyes off Li Xiaonan.
Seeing him injured and falling, he hurriedly swooped down to catch him.
Inside the Cloud Sky Pavilion, Li Xiaonan's wives also flew out one by one, startling Heiwa. They tightly embraced Li Xiaonan, truly protecting him as if he were a precious child.
Li Xiaonan slightly raised his head and looked at the red-haired, red-eyed woman in the sky. His chaotic thoughts gradually began to clear.
She said she was Mo Shang, and that she had regained her memories... It seemed she even mentioned the Dark World!
It was her! It was really her!
Fisher's Song is the Dark Goddess!
No! She no longer possesses Fisher's Song...
Having sorted through these thoughts, Li Xiaonan's eyes gradually dimmed.
Everything happened too quickly and too suddenly; for a moment, he couldn't think of a countermeasure.
More importantly, he could feel that he had been crippled!
The Divine Tree was still there, the Divine Body remained, but he could no longer sense the Divine Infant within him.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he murmured to himself: Huang Qi was right; it was I who caused the demise of those Demon Immortal. Now that I have fallen to this state, it is not unjust.
Only... Fisher's Song... you realized you are the Dark Goddess, yet have you forgotten that you were once Fisher's Song?
Li Xiaonan shook his head and said to Heiwa, "Child, pass a message for me..."
His voice was very soft, and his whole body had already slumped weakly into the child's embrace.
"Okay, big brother! You say it! I'll amplify your voice!"
Li Xiaonan nodded, taking a deep breath as a cold pain pierced through his abdomen.
He shouted, "Everyone, stop!"
"Everyone, stop!" Li Xiaonan's voice echoed in the arena. The Black Dragon paused for a moment before transforming into human form and flying back to Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Li Xiaonan looked up; beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped onto Heiwa's hand.
Heiwa felt as if her heart was being twisted in pain. "Big brother!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine! Take me to Cloud Sky Pavilion."
"Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan!"
Li Xiaonan forced out a faint smile and said, "Why are all of you here? It's dangerous; you should go back!"
"Xiao Nan, you..." The women looked at the gaping wound in his abdomen, their brows furrowing tightly as tears welled up in their eyes.
"Fisher's Song! You've gone mad!" Yun Moyu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and was about to confront Fisher's Song for revenge when she was stopped by Li Xiaonan.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Fisher's Song didn't mean it. We need to retreat; another wave is coming... Cloud Sky Pavilion... might not hold out... You all go first!"
"No! Even if we die, we will be together!"
Looking at the resolute expressions in front of her, Li Xiaonan felt a surge of emotion, but even more so, she was filled with worry.
With Huang Qi's temperament, he would not easily let go of those around me. Who could withstand the power of a Demigod?
Fisher's Song could!
But would she help herself?
Right now, all she must feel is hatred!
Although she had lost her memory before, the changes I made to the rules of the Dark World and the destruction I caused to the Demon Immortal were enough to incite her anger. She certainly wouldn't care about the lives of Ling'er and the others!
What should I do?
What on earth should I do!
