Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 11

"boom!"

Deep inside the cave, there was a sound like air bursting.

The entire cave suddenly trembled, and a piercing buzzing sound filled the air.

"Master has broken through?"

Upon hearing this commotion, Zhang Dashan, who had just entered the cave, immediately rushed to the innermost part of the cave.

Luo Qingchen's gaze sharpened, and she looked over as well.

Zhang Dashan stopped at the entrance of the inner chamber, about to respectfully inquire inside, when Tian Feng's voice came from within: "I have broken through, but I need to consolidate my strength for one more night. I will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Congratulations, Master!"

Zhang Dashan quickly offered his congratulations, not daring to disturb them, and immediately bowed his head and withdrew.

When he arrived at the outer cave, he raised his head and looked at Luo Qingchen sitting in the corner again. He paused, walked over, and sat down in the corner opposite him, but did not say anything.

Luo Qingchen met his gaze in the darkness, but remained silent.

A long silence followed.

As night deepened outside the cave, Zhang Dashan suddenly spoke, "Junior Brother Luo, aren't you going to sleep?"

Luo Qingchen said, "I'm not sleepy, Senior Brother, you should go to sleep first."

A cold smile seemed to appear on Zhang Dashan's lips as he said, "I'm not sleepy either."

Luo Qingchen didn't say anything more. She glanced at the night outside the cave and suddenly stood up from the corner.

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Dashan's eyes, and he stood up as well.

"Does Senior Brother also need to use the restroom?"

Luo Qingchen seemed oblivious to his actions and murderous intent. After speaking, she calmly walked out of the cave.

Zhang Dashan did not answer, but followed behind him with a cold expression.

Luo Qingchen left the cave and headed straight down the hillside.

Zhang Dashan immediately shouted, "Junior Brother Luo, where are you going?"

"convenient."

Luo Qingchen answered, went down the hillside, and continued walking towards the woods ahead.

"stop!"

Zhang Dashan suddenly shouted sternly.

Luo Qingchen not only didn't stop, but suddenly quickened her pace.

A murderous glint flashed in Zhang Dashan's eyes, and he immediately gave chase.

Luo Qingchen strode into the woods, then suddenly started running.

However, Zhang Dashan was even faster!

"Bang!"

While running, Luo tripped over something and fell to the ground.

Zhang Dashan caught up, slowed his pace, and looked at him with a mocking gaze, like a cat looking at a mouse with a broken leg, and said, "Run, keep running!"

Luo Qingchen turned around on the ground and moved backward, but was blocked by a big tree behind her. She had no choice but to lean against the tree, panting as she looked at him.

Zhang Dashan stopped and looked at him with a mocking expression: "As expected, Junior Brother Luo, you've been playing dumb all along. But what's the use? In the end, you'll just become a cold corpse anyway."

Luo Qingchen paused for a moment before speaking, "Senior Brother, we are brothers, why don't we go down the mountain together to help Master find his body? Why fight amongst ourselves?"

Zhang Dashan sneered and said, "It's too late. It was already too late the moment you agreed to become your master's medicine man. Disciples of the Demon-Slaying Sect cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately; they can only kill their own medicine man."

"Senior Brother, do you believe it?"

"What does it matter whether you believe it or not? In your master's eyes, you are already a corpse. Otherwise, your master would not have kept using your blood."

Luo Qingchen didn't say anything more.

Because he knew that what the other person said was true.

Perhaps from the very beginning, when Tian Feng brought him out of the small town, he had already decided in his heart whether he lived or died.

First use fresh blood, then use corpses.

"But senior brother, I don't want to die, I want to live."

He looked at the young man in front of him and said.

Zhang Dashan scoffed, his gaze cold as he looked at him and said, "Here, besides you, it's just me. If you don't die, then I die. I've endured humiliation and hardship, cultivating diligently day and night, never daring to slack off in the slightest. I've finally become a formal cultivator. Do you think I want to die?"

Luo Qingchen fell silent.

Yes, who would want to die?

Nobody wants that.

"Junior Brother Luo, I'm sorry."

Zhang Dashan sighed, then without further hesitation, clenched his fist and walked towards him, saying as he went, "Don't worry, it'll be over with just one punch. There won't be any pain. When a person dies, it's like falling asleep, their eyes just close..."

"Whoosh!"

Before he could finish speaking, his feet suddenly gave way, and he lost his footing, plummeting downwards!

It turned out that there was a pit under his feet!

The pit was covered with a thin layer of turf, and inside the pit were sharpened branches stuck in the ground!

Zhang Dashan reacted extremely quickly. In the instant he fell, he swiftly grabbed the edge of the pit with both hands and quickly pulled his legs up, curling his whole body into a ball.

With his current strength, he can leap out of the pit in just half a second by using his hands and feet together.

But even half a second can feel long between life and death.

The instant he fell into the pit, Luo Qingchen leaped up from the ground, his fist, brimming with power, smashed down on his head like a heavy hammer.

Zhang Dashan panicked for a moment when he fell, but he calmed down after grabbing the edge of the pit with both hands.

He knew his own strength, and he also knew the strength of his opponent.

So when he saw that the other person actually dared to punch him, he almost laughed.

With his current strength at the Bone Strengthening Realm, the opponent is simply courting death!

"Whoosh!"

He freed one hand, clenched his fist, and fiercely charged forward.

His fists are now strong enough to shatter even hard rocks, let alone the opponent's mere flesh and blood.

This punch will surely tear the opponent's skin, leaving them bleeding profusely, and may even break their bones.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The two fists collided heavily.

However, the result Zhang Dashan expected did not occur. Instead, his body jolted violently under the collision of the two enormous forces, and his other hand, which was gripping the edge of the pit, slipped off unexpectedly, causing him to fall downwards.

This was truly a shock!

At this point, there was no way to avoid it, and there was no other option.

In a critical moment, he had no choice but to lift one right leg with all his might and desperately grab the side wall of the pit with both hands.

"puff--"

His left foot landed and was pierced by a sharpened tree branch.

A sharp pain suddenly struck!

He couldn't help but let out a scream, but before he could process the pain, he found a gap between the sharp branches with his right foot, stepped on it with his toes, bent his knees, gritted his teeth, and roared, using both legs to propel himself out of the pit.

The moment my left foot slipped off the branch, excruciating pain struck again.

This time, he held back his screams and landed on the ground outside the pit, his face contorted with pain and shock, his eyes red as he looked at the boy opposite him.

All of this happened so fast!

Luo Qingchen's arm was numb from the punch he had just received, and he took a few steps back. By the time he charged forward again, Zhang Dashan had already roared and jumped out of the pit.

The other person's will to survive was no weaker than his.

Zhang Dashan stared at him with red eyes, his distorted face twitching and his expression constantly changing, as if he couldn't believe the punch he had just delivered.

In Zhang Dashan's eyes, he was nothing more than a pitiful wretch who had been squeezed blood repeatedly and was so weak that he would stumble and fall while walking. How could he suddenly...

The prey has turned into the hunter!

The two looked at each other, neither moving nor speaking for a moment.

But both of them knew in their hearts that only one of them could leave alive tonight!

"Go to hell!"

Zhang Dashan finally couldn't hold back any longer. Despite the pain in his feet, he roared and charged towards him.

His left foot was injured and still bleeding; the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him.

Luo Qingchen clenched her fists and went to meet her.

At this moment, whoever is cowardly and tries to escape, whoever exposes their back, is in the most danger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two exchanged several fierce punches, both feeling the terrifying power of the other.

When Luo Qingchen met the opponent's fist that was about to smash into his chest with another punch, he suddenly felt a piercing pain on the back of his hand!

"Bang!"

The two fists collided.

A dagger hidden between Zhang Dashan's fingers pierced deeply into Luo Qingchen's fist, penetrating his entire palm!

The pain caused Luo Qingchen to pause for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Dashan suddenly tackled him to the ground and smashed his other fist into his head.

Despite the pain, Luo Qingchen raised her other hand and blocked his fist with a "snap," then clenched her fist tightly with all her might.

Zhang Dashan shook violently a few times, but seeing that he couldn't break free, he grinned maliciously and suddenly used his other hand, which was holding a dagger, to stab his throat, carrying his pierced hand with it!

Luo Qingchen's eyes also reddened. Enduring the intense pain, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fingers, and gripped the dagger tightly in her hand, preventing it from going any further!

Blood flowed down the blade, dripping from the sharp tip, the speed increasing rapidly.

Luo Qingchen's neck and clothes were quickly soaked with blood.

As Zhang Dashan exerted himself, blood continued to flow from the wound on his left foot.

Both men gripped a dagger tightly in one hand and a fist in the other, gritting their teeth, their eyes red, their arms trembling, as they strained desperately despite the intense pain!

This is a battle between life and death!

However, Zhang Dashan was riding on Luo Qingchen's back at this moment, and his body was stronger than Luo Qingchen's. He was also holding the hilt of a dagger, and the tip of the dagger was almost touching Luo Qingchen's neck, so he had a clear advantage.

As soon as Luo Qingchen is slightly exhausted, the sharp dagger will pierce his skin and go through his neck!

"Junior Brother Luo, accept your fate."

Zhang Dashan pressed the dagger down hard while still having time to talk.

He could clearly see the blood in the boy's body beneath him flowing rapidly down the dagger that had pierced the boy's hand.

It was even faster than when the master was squeezing blood.

His master has already squeezed out a lot of blood from him, and now he's lost so much more blood. How much longer can he hold on?

A cruel grin spread across Zhang Dashan's face. He not only continued to press down on the dagger with all his might, but also cruelly twisted it, making the blood in his palm flow out even faster!

Luo Qingchen's body trembled with pain, yet she still gripped the dagger that was about to kill her.

He can't die!

He absolutely cannot die!

Time passed by, second by second.

Blood was still flowing rapidly from Luo Qingchen's palm.

Zhang Dashan's feet were bleeding from the effort he was exerting.

"What happened?"

Soon, Zhang Dashan sensed that something was wrong.

At this point, he began to feel weak all over and his vision began to blur.

He lost too much blood.

However, the boy beneath him was bleeding far more than he was.

But why does the other person not appear weak or powerless due to excessive blood loss?

On the contrary, it seems even more powerful?

He looked into the other person's eyes and suddenly realized that those eyes had become brighter and more ferocious than before.

Calm ruthlessness!

Fear, like a venomous snake, suddenly began to writhe and climb upwards from the depths of my heart.

He began to feel afraid.

Once courage fades, the fragile body can no longer hold on.

His hands began to tremble, his vision began to blur, and the next second, all the strength in his body suddenly vanished.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, Luo Qingchen suddenly flipped over and pinned him down. Then, enduring the excruciating pain, she pulled her hand out of the dagger, grabbed his right hand with both hands, turned the dagger around, and plunged it fiercely into his heart!

Great strength and heavy momentum!

In his horror, Zhang Dashan hurriedly stretched out his other hand to defend himself, but the sharp dagger pierced through his palm. Then, the dagger continued to stab downwards with his palm, and with a "thud," it pierced his heart!

Zhang Dashan's eyes widened, his mouth agape, as he stared at him in terror and despair.

Fresh blood quickly gushed from his mouth.

His body was convulsing, and he made a dying "hoarse" sound from his throat...

In those gradually unfocused pupils, there was fear, resentment, and lingering confusion and bewilderment.

He couldn't understand until his death why the other person had suddenly transformed from a weak, dying medicine patient into a cultivator like himself... He also couldn't understand why the other person, despite losing so much blood, seemed completely unharmed...

"laugh!"

Luo Qingchen forcefully spun the dagger, shattering his heart and completely extinguishing his life force.
