Hiss!
Another crisp sound echoed.
The Demon-slaying Sword in Li Jing's hand swept across like flowing water.
The woman in red failed to dodge in time and was wounded by the longsword.
Her outer garment was torn apart by the Sword Qi, fluttering everywhere, only revealing a dazzling patch of snow-white beneath.
The demoness in red did not expect such a turn of events.
Her complexion drastically changed, showing a mix of shame and anger, her eyes inadvertently revealing a pitiful look.
She appeared like a frightened little rabbit, inevitably invoking pity.
Neither Pang Yong nor Wang Sheng could help but swallow.
Pitifully charming!
A feast for the eyes!
It was nothing more than this!
Li Jing was no exception; he had not anticipated this twist and couldn't help but stare blankly. His gaze lingered unintentionally on that snow-white spot, his throat subtly quivering.
Seeing Li Jing affected, the woman in red couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, her actions becoming increasingly provocative.
She gently raised her jade arm, seemingly hiding yet not hiding, revealing yet not revealing.
The fiery figure of the demoness, combined with such an innocent pitiful expression, instantly maximized her lethal allure.
Even someone as stony-hearted as Li Jing couldn't help but feel restless inside.
"General!"
"Come!"
"Come!"
"General!"
The demoness in red seeing Li Jing's wavering will, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.
Eventually, she slightly opened her lips, emitting a voice that made one's body tingle.
Li Jing seemed enchanted, unable to resist slowly stepping forward, his face showing an oafish lust.
The woman in red grew more complacent.
Wishing she could use every trick in the book, relentlessly making seductive, provocative, and teasing gestures.
Li Jing's originally firm steps became disordered, slowly moving under the temptation of beauty.
The demoness grew even more pleased, her lips curling into a smile unwittingly.
However, clearly, she celebrated too early.
For she hadn't noticed!
Li Jing's hand holding the Demon-slaying Sword had never loosened.
She also hadn't noticed that one of Li Jing's fingers, pressing hard on the uneven sword hilt, had been pierced and was bleeding.
It was the deliberately induced, bone-piercing pain that had prevented Li Jing from truly succumbing.
As time ticked by, the distance between Li Jing and the demoness in red also narrowed.
Overflowing with excitement!
The demoness did not dodge; instead, she couldn't help but extend a blood-red, lizard-like long tongue.
Just when she thought the situation was under her control, ready for the harvest, Li Jing's eyes suddenly burst forth with a brightness like sword light!
The demoness, dazzled, found herself captured by his gaze, and her body involuntarily stiffened.
When she realized the peril and wanted to escape,
A dazzling sword tip had already pierced through her chest from the front.
"Uh…" The woman in red strained to lower her head, her eyes involuntarily widening.
"I, I've been killed?"
Even now, she still somewhat disbelieved, how could there be a man in this world willing to attack her?
As she was shocked,
Li Jing had already withdrawn the longsword, followed by green Demon Blood spraying continuously.
The woman in red seemed like a punctured balloon, continuously wilting and shriveling until she finally disappeared like a bubble under the sun.
"Gone?" Seeing the completely vanished woman in red, Li Jing finally heaved a sigh of relief.
This demoness, though slain,
Was exceptionally troublesome.
Especially her charm, which was powerful.
Had he not experienced numerous worlds, possessed a mind as solid as ice, and had the mental method of the Withering and Flourishing Heart Sutra,
He might have truly fallen for her schemes.
As Li Jing pondered deeply!
In the place where the female demon disappeared, a black zither with hints of red abruptly appeared.
"Another gain?"
Li Jing subconsciously stepped forward.
A line of text also emerged in his mind.
[Seven-stringed Demon Zither: Originally an ordinary zither, it slowly became demonic due to sensing its master's melancholic grievances.
Skill: Charming Heart. Free Points: 10]
Looking at the invitation floating in the air, Li Jing couldn't help feeling speechless.
This matter, when spoken of, also has a somewhat melodramatic undertone.
Mr. Lu was naturally flirty, wandering around flirting everywhere, inevitably neglecting the feelings of his legitimate wife.
Mrs. Lu was a quiet type.
Whenever she felt sad and depressed, she would play the zither alone in the pavilion.
Over time, the zither developed spiritual wisdom.
However, at this time, the zither had not yet fully turned malevolent.
Years later!
Due to overwhelming melancholy,
Mrs. Lu exhausted her spirit and couldn't hold on anymore. She collapsed over the zither, vomiting blood until she died.
No one noticed that the blood Mrs. Lu spat out was all absorbed by the zither.
The black resentment seemed to manifest physically, tangling around.
Even the temperature inside the room suddenly dropped significantly.
The Seven-stringed Demon Zither completely became malevolent.
It transformed into an entity only knowing slaughter.
Over the years, the Seven-stringed Demon Zither, using its charming abilities, harmed many men. It was just because her methods were too covert, and with Mr. Lu's cover, that it wasn't discovered by others.
Understanding all the causes and effects, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh deeply.
This Mr. Lu really brought it upon himself.
If he hadn't been flirty everywhere, causing havoc, Mrs. Lu wouldn't have ended up dying from depression.
If Mrs. Lu hadn't died from depression, the terrifying entity known as the "Seven-stringed Demon Zither" wouldn't have been born.
From this perspective!
It was deserved that Mr. Lu was caught.
It's just a pity for those innocent men.
"Alas!"
As Li Jing sighed, the soldiers who had been charmed and passed out also slowly woke up. Pang Yong asked urgently:
"Hero Xiahou."
"Where's that demon?"
"Where's that demon?"
Li Jing slowly sheathed his Longsword, speaking with an exceptionally solemn voice:
"No need to search!"
"She has been slain by me!"
"From today onwards, no more men will fall victim. Everyone can live in peace without fear."
"Phew!"
"That's great!"
Hearing Li Jing's affirmative voice, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that the red-dressed woman was dead; she was truly terrifying.
Fortunately, such a powerful demon, in the end, was still slain. Thinking of this, more people loudly shouted:
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
The originally tense atmosphere also became relaxed.
However!
While feeling excited and exhilarated, for some reason, there was still some indescribable melancholy and regret in everyone's hearts.
Such a beautiful woman, to die just like that, was really too much of a pity!
Regarding everyone's thoughts, Li Jing was unaware, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. What he most wanted to do now was return to his residence.
To use the newly acquired Free Points for enhancements.
With these ten Free Points!
Whether it's the Blood Evil Technique or the small plus sign after the Blood Killing Ten Forms, both were reactivated.
