I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Chapter 25 In the Year 750 of the Great Yuan, Demons are Slain Under the Moon

"Milord is not an ordinary Martial Artist, but I am not an ordinary Cultivator either."

Lady Liu's voice was ethereal.

As her words fell, blood-red columns of light lit up around Chen Mo, trapping him like a cage.

He reached out to touch the column, and his fingers instantly turned blackened and charred!

The flesh rotted away, revealing the bone!

"Since Milord insists on interfering, you might as well leave your life behind."

The wives of the Liu Family stepped forward, forming a seven-star position, trapping Chen Mo between "Tianshu" and "Tianquan."

The blood-red light intensified as the columns narrowed inexorably.

They were about to grind Chen Mo to death!

"This person's True Yuan is abundant, not like a Sixth-Rank, and his sword technique is impressively strong, impossible to confront head-on."

"But after all, a Martial Artist is a Martial Artist, limited in methods, absolutely unable to break through my Blood Prison."

"As long as I exhaust him to death before midnight, allowing the Demon Creature to transform and offering it in the ritual, then great things can be accomplished!"

Lady Liu muttered to herself.

Her voice alternated between that of a young girl and a mature woman.

The rat perched on her shoulder squeaked excitedly, unable to restrain its desire to feast.

Unbeknownst to it, it too was one of the offerings.

Bang!

At that moment, a figure fell from the roof, hitting the ground solidly.

Li Yuan propped herself up with the Stray Blade, climbing up from the ground, her heart cursing:

This scoundrel's attacks are too vicious, causing me to walk unsteadily...

"..."

Lady Liu's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Another interference—kill her first!"

The wives of the Liu Family leaped towards Li Yuan!

Li Yuan swept a glance, quickly understanding the situation, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Bring it on!

I've been holding back my anger and have nowhere to vent!

She swung her Stray Blade around like splashing water, enveloping her opponents within it.

Chaotic Slash Blade, a battle technique used in the army, is perfect for fighting outnumbered!

Fighting seven against one, without falling behind!

Lady Liu frowned even deeper; previously, her focus had all been on Chen Mo, but she didn't expect this woman to be so troublesome!

But no big deal.

There's still enough time, just need to stall Li Yuan, then she can slowly refine Chen Mo...

Swoosh!

A shrill sound pierced the air.

A sound arrow streaked through the night sky, exploding loudly!

Under the firelight, more than ten figures were rushing towards this location, with the chubby leader shouting loudly:

"Protect the General, follow me to fight the enemies!"

They had gathered at the government office by 9 p.m. as instructed by Chen Mo.

After a long wait, Constable Xing brought the news that both Generals had decided to stay overnight at Liu Mansion...

Qin Shou knew Chen Mo was not someone swayed by lust; realizing something was amiss, he led people to Liu Mansion.

On the way, they saw Sword Qi piercing the sky, and then they stumbled upon this scene.

Constable Xing followed behind, his face slightly pale.

Realizing that he had misunderstood Chen Mo.

"Lady Liu is actually the murderer!"

"Milord stayed at the Liu Family not because he was tempted by beauty... but to exorcise the demon!"

...

"These insignificant pawns also dare to join the fray!"

Lady Liu spread her arms, her clothes billowing, endless black mist pouring out from her sleeves, engulfing everyone.

They immediately lost their direction; though close to each other, they were blind and trapped in the black mist, spinning around.

"It's almost midnight, can't delay any longer, kill this woman first!"

Lady Liu spoke, but her voice came from the mouths of all seven wives simultaneously.

Demon Ghosts have their rules—kill one every three days, the dead must wear a wedding robe... Since Chen Mo has been chosen, even though she is a Ghost Cultivator, she cannot change it.

First, take care of this nuisance woman, then fully refine Chen Mo!

"Years of planning, just one step away, how could I give it all up now?"

"Quick battle, quick decision, to avoid attracting the Grandmaster from the Capital City!"

Lady Liu's mouth widened, splitting to her ears, she suddenly inhaled deeply, the black gas entering her belly, her figure swelling many times over.

Then, astonishingly, she swallowed all seven concubines whole!

After swallowing the seven, her aura climbed steeply, the black mist around her body thicker even than the night!

Boom!

Two red lanterns lit up in the black mist, a monster several meters tall stepped out with large strides!

But this time, it seemed she was truly going to die.

She truly wasn't willing.

She hadn't fulfilled her father's final wish, hadn't reached the peak of Sword Way, hadn't experienced a romance, hadn't defeated Chen Mo, that bastard...

Is it ending... now?

Suddenly, the monster's movement paused.

Seemingly sensing something, it slowly turned around.

Li Yuan followed its gaze, and was instantly stunned.

She saw Chen Mo, trapped in the Blood Prison, grasping red beams of light, wisps of green smoke rising, accompanied by the smell of burning flesh.

"Don't underestimate me, huh, you think this can trap me?!"

His palms were burnt to the bone, yet he was still forcibly pushing apart the beams of light.

The monster's eyes intensely glowed red, the Blood Prison rapidly contracting, almost completely enveloping him!

But Chen Mo still walked forward slowly but resolutely.

Under the erosion of the blood light, his flesh peeled away, revealing grim bones, and even the heart pulsating within his rib cage was visible!

"Is this guy not afraid of dying?"

The monster looked at him blankly.

Chen Mo took his final step, finally stepping out of the Blood Prison.

At that moment, with only half of his face skin remaining, he revealed an immensely satisfying smile.

"The evening sun of the other side, damn, it really hurts!"

Sword sheathed, Qi restrained.

The monster felt an inexplicable fear in its heart, as if being watched by something far greater and profound.

In the blink of an eye, a spectacularly radiant Sword Qi burst forth like a galaxy turned upside down!

Majestically, Life Essence infused within it, a blue dragon faintly taking shape, surrounded by thunder, rapidly enlarging in its blood-red pupils!

"Roar!"

The dragon awakened from hibernation; the spring thunder began to roar!

Upon contact with the monster, the blue Essence immediately obliterated the black fog!

Life took over death, and with a terrified expression on its face, the monster's massive body crumbled to dust.

The world seemed to quiet down.

Cloudless skies, a gentle wind, and suddenly, a light misty rain began.

Li Yuan landed on the ground, through the dense rain curtain, watching the man covered in scales and wounds...

Unwittingly, she grew a bit infatuated.
