The demon cultivator does not know what to do. He gulped. How can he let the enemy meet the general?! Wouldn't that make them defeated?! Wouldn't she kill them!?
Even the cultivators cannot comprehend what she said! This is a war! What is she thinking about?!
Yun Xie suddenly thought of this too. "Very well. Then, I shall defeat all of you."
She rose from her seat and gradually ascended in the air. She performed hand seals and dark clouds ominously gathered and filled the entire sky. The blue sky was suddenly filled with tumultuous clouds. Sparks slowly rattled inside the clouds, and a huge wind gathered around them. Debris flew everywhere, its power greater than someone undergoing a huge tribulation. She smiled to the demon cultivator, "I'll leave you alone. Report to Alderam that you're defeated."
She gently smiled, as if she's only about to pick flowers and not kill people. She did not even use any honorifics to refer to the great god!
In the blink of an eye, roaring thunders, like dragons, descended from the dark clouds engulfing everything within its path. In just a few seconds, all the demons that the elders had a hard time fighting against were.. gone.
Everyone shivered when they saw the pitch black, charred ground. Not even a single bone— no, life remains. It was like all the demon cultivators and demon beasts from before was just an illusion. But the lone, surviving demon cultivator tells them that it's real. Everyone gulped and they remembered the chaos she brought thousands of years ago as if it was just yesterday.
The demon cultivator felt his legs turn into jelly, but he gathered his strength to nod fiercely and to flee for his dear life.
'Great, now I can have a reading buddy!' Yun Xie is filled with expectation.
The book in the demon god's hand may be the continuation of what she's holding! The book ended with a freakin' cliff hanger, she needs to find out what happened next!
Yun Xie went back to her seat, anxiously waiting for demon cultivator. While waiting, she thought about what the book really is.
Is it a hidden, ancient martial arts manual? But, it's quite different to the usually used jade tablets. There were skills in it, but she can't do it because of the unknown language. Trying out a martial art without knowing the proper invocations can result in Qi Deviation, or she may accidentally destroy the world.
And the latter is what mostly will happen.
After waiting for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she grew impatient. She growled at the elders behind her, "Where is Alderam's lair?!"
They all suddenly knelt down, trembling, "Answering Grand Master! The Demon's Lair is known to be behind Hei Yan Mountain!"
"En!" Yun Xie took out a strange item and inserted her spiritual energy. It enlarged into a bright pink carriage with heart shaped vines covered with flowers. In the middle of the heart filled flowers is a blue cushioned seat. Thin vines were attached on the upper left and right with celestial birds holding the tip of the vines on their beaks.
Yun Xie sat on it and dramatically flew away.
Everyone: "…"
'Wait, wasn't grandmaster's mount a legendary nine-tailed fox..?'
'Too gaudy…'
'She's going into the demon lair alone.. and with a pink, fluffy, heart mount...'
Sitting on top of her pink, fluffy and cozy mount, Yun Xie gracefully took out the book and continued reading it, her left arm leaning on the pink armrest and supporting her chin. She lazily flipped the pages.
She's currently in the page where the man in the book is forming spells she has never before. After the hand seals, strong wind currents powerfully flowed towards him and huge, black lightning merged with a strong hurricane. The man called his trusted sword partner. When the man shouted, the youngster suddenly turned into a sword and flew into the man's hand. With light flowing on the tip of his fingers, his finger glided into the sword's surface, giving it a strong bluish glow. He used the sword to slash his enemies with one hit and destroyed them, freeing the country from monsters.
"Ah. I'm here." Yun Xie stopped reading upon reaching Hei Yan Mountain.
Setting down her book, she used her spiritual energy to make her voice resound. "Demon Lord, let's plaaaaaay!"
A certain Demon Lord in his throne room frowned upon hearing the soft, playful voice. He already noticed the presence of a powerful being and was watching her through a magic orb mirror, but didn't expect that person to be this… bold. He raised his hands to beckon one of his servants, "What's that?"
"Answering Your Majesty, that person is the renowned Great Grandmaster, Yun Xie of the Heavenly Jade Peak from the Ancient Dragon Sect."
"Oho?" The Demon Lord raised his brows in amusement. He lifted his dark chalice to his lips, sipping the high-quality wine when the door to his throne room suddenly blasted open.
"Heya, I've come." Amidst the smoke and debris of the broken door came a languid yet melodious voice.
An enchanting, otherworldly beauty elegantly walked out of the smoke. Her every steps were graceful, as if flowers were blooming behind her with every step she took. On her face, not one speck of fear can be seen. Instead, her lips curved in a languid manner.
You would not expect such a beautiful lady capable of destroying countries with just her looks to be this.. violent. She would have been perfect, if not for the unladylike and brazen words coming out from her.
"You've come." The Demon Lord, Alderam, continued sipping his wine without any care.
Yun Xie harrumphed, "I told your servant to come. Why are you still here?"
The Demon God didn't answer, and just continued to sip his wine with an amused expression. The servants near Demon God Alderam were already pale and trembling uncontrollably in fear.
Yun Xie glanced at the servants near the demon God and scoffed, her gaze stopping at a pile of burnt ashes before returning her gaze to the Demon God. "You killed him? Well, not that it matters."
Yun Xie walked towards the Demon God not showing any fear nor politeness towards the Demon God. The servants all paled.
That's the Demon God you're talking to right now, you know?!
This little lady sure has a lot of guts… I pray that you won't be turned to ash by the Lord.
"Hey, you know this book?" Yun Xie took out a book from her robe. Seeing this, the Demon God raised a brow.
"Yes, and so?"
"You do!" Happiness filled Yun Xie's face, "Let me borrow it! I'll return it, I promise. Probably. Hehe."
"And in exchange?" The demon god charmingly raised the corner of his lips, making his exquisite features devilishly handsome. He playfully swirled the cup on his hands, as if finding an interesting toy.
Yun Xie pondered in deep thought, but she couldn't think of anything. She was sure that the Demon God does not lack any kind of riches. "Uhh..."
"Then why should I lend it to you? Don't you know the Law of Equivalent Trade?"
"What? What's that?" Yun Xie suddenly became curious but the Demon God did not answer her. She has never heard of such a thing before. She pursed her lips, "Anyway, it's like doing something out of the goodness of your heart you know? Can't you just lend it to me? Pretty please? Let's be good neighbors, alright?"
The Demon God just answered her with a playful smile again.
Goodness of his heart? What? He's the Demon God. Is this girl right in her head?
Yun Xie also didn't speak anymore. She was extremely pissed. It seems like negotiation failed.
In the cultivation world, when you want something and talking won't do, then take it by force!
She asked so nicely, why is this guy making things hard for her? Wow, what a rude man!
Yun Xie seemed to forget the fact that she's talking to a demon lord right now…
Words like generosity, kindness, benevolence are definitely not in his dictionary. What does she expect?! Where would you find a demon god doing such things!?
But why is the Demon God not attacking her right now? Maybe, the Demon God has been bored out of his wits and wanted her to make the first move?
The two people just stared at each other. Suddenly, a tremendous amount of pressure came out from Yun Xie. The servants near the Demon Lord were all high-ranking officials, capable of slaying thousands of men just by themselves, but these one-man army found it hard to fight against the pressure coming from the girl in front of them.
Just how powerful is she?!
The Demon Lord smiled, and before anyone can realize it, the throne room was all blown into smithereens. The powerful beings clashed, and the poor demon officials got caught in the blast. A lot of them were all turned to ashes, while those lucky enough tried to retreat with grave wounds.
Now, the Demon Lord's stronghold and castle became rubble in an instant. Two powerful beings clashed in mid-air, creating great tremors and powerful shockwaves that even those people who are thousand kilometers away are caught in their fight. Even those people far away have coughed out blood, what more to the demon cultivators near them?
They have almost become extinct!
After countless exchanges of blows, they stopped. They stood imposingly in front of each other, one petite figure wearing white and one robust, clad in black.
"Oh?" Yun Xie raised the corners of her red lips, "As expected of the Demon Lord."
"You're not half-bad yourself." The Demon Lord Alderam smiled as well, "For a cultivator, at least."
"Well, you pretty much suck for a God." Yun Xie mockingly laughed, but the Demon Lord's expression didn't change even when Yun Xie ridiculed him. Only Yun Xie herself know that the Demon Lord is indeed strong, contrary to what she said. The Demon Lord Alderam still retained his mysterious smile even when provoked, making Yun Xie want to rip apart his devilishly handsome face.
Although they both have fought very ferociously, no signs of wear can be seen on their faces, though their clothes have been wrinkled compared to before, and some tear can be seen.
Yun Xie frowned, noticing that the Demon God is still holding his chalice. Even when they were battling, he was still holding and sipping on that chalice. It made Yun Xie feel as if the Demon God is mocking her.
"Hmm…" Yun placed her hands to her chin in deep thought. The Demon God took notice of her actions and raised a brow. 'What is she thinking now? Amusing.'
The Demon God Alderam was quite interested with this girl. She has never seen someone like this, and the way she fights is too sneaky. Definitely not the way a righteous cultivator fights.
Yun Xie tried to recall the skill that the man used in the book she was reading. She wants to give it a try! But, she doesn't know what the man is saying, so she can only roughly guess.
Despite this, she took out a legendary sword from her space, and gave it a look.
She focused her energy, and her hand released a faint, bluish glow. She raised her brows, 'Am I doing it correctly?' Will it go wrong because her sword is not a spirit? Oh well, the demon lord is here too. If I accidentally destroy the world, please stop me, great demon lord-sama.
She decided to proceed without caring if the incantations were correct, and spoke with firm tone, "Reality be rent. Synapse break…"
Just like in the book, she brought her fingers onto the blade of her sword. Wherever her fingers touched, the sword will release a bluish light.
The actions were correct, but she's just spouting rubbish because she's not sure of the incantation.
"Hey, what are you...?" The Demon Lord suddenly frowned. His eyes opened wide in surprise, realizing her actions. "Hey, sto—!"
Before the Demon God got to her, she has already reached the tip of the sword. She shouted, "Banishment, this world!"
And the moment she said that… a blinding light surged forth and darkness engulfed her vision.
