Chapter 431 – Startling the Two Daemons with the Strengthened Abilities (1/2)

“Everyone, back away!” Ye Liusu spread out her arms like she was protecting her people as she ordered loudly, but it was already too late. The formation was unable to stop the Rock of Slaughter’s wondrous power. The eyes of half the night roamers in the village became scarlet red as they lunged at their own clansmen.

Ye Liubo waved her hand, and the bright yellow piece of embroidery Li Qingshan had bestowed to her wrapped up the night roamers, sending them far away from Strongboulder.

“Sir Strongboulder, please contain your power. This is sir Northmoon’s territory.” Ye Liusu clasped her hands. Strongboulder gave her a greater headache than what any human cultivator could.

“Don’t you have ears? I’ve come exactly for him!” Strongboulder swaggered forward, stopped by the formation.

“Sir Northmoon is currently in seclusion. He may not be able to see you.”

“He’s bold enough to even defy the Spider Queen’s orders?” A man with a rosy face and delicate features in a cloak strolled over from behind Strongboulder. He seemed to move at a leisurely pace, but it only took him a blink of an eye to be right in their faces. As he spoke, he revealed his sharp canines.

“Sir Bloodshadow.” Ye Liusu could sense that the situation was bad. She tried to stand her ground. “If it’s just for the Spider Queen’s orders, why would the two sirs have to come here together and in person?”

“Ye Liusu, your actions have always displeased the Spider Queen. Not only are you avoiding battle by remaining passive, but you’ve even engaged in trade with humans. If it were not for the bit of merit that bastard Northmoon has earned, we would have come to destroy you a long time ago.” Bloodshadow’s daemon qi filled the cavern. Just the pressure of the daemon qi made the formation tremble. Over the past three years, who knew how much fresh blood he had drunk. His strength had increased too.

“We haven’t been avoiding battle by remaining passive. We’re building up strength.” Ye Liusu justified herself powerlessly.

“Is this a toy you exchanged from the humans?” Strongboulder knocked the barrier. Suddenly, he flew into a rage and punched the barrier. The entire cavern trembled as stalactites fell down from above. The barrier immediately became riddled with cracks.

But only in that instant did she realise her feebleness. Strongboulder and Bloodshadow’s combined efforts could destroy everything she had built up over the past three years in a single instant, as easily as how they destroyed human cities.

“We don’t care whether you’re avoiding battle or building up strength. We only have one message to pass on. The Spider Queen’s patience is limited!”

Bloodshadow sneered while Strongboulder smiled viciously. It was time for them to pay back Northmoon for the humiliation he had caused them due to their defeat!

The two daemons rushed over and alarmed all the night roamers. The personal guards under Ye Liusu’s lead all rushed over together. They looked at one another, but they did not stop them.

The two daemons arrived in the central cavern that Li Qingshan resided in. Because the night roamers had been afraid to disturb Li Qingshan, only here remained the same as three years ago.

Within the sea of Blue Butterfly flowers, Li Qingshan’s mirror clone sat on the stone bed. Milliped curled up nearby and ingested spiritual qi. He had recovered a lot of his strength, becoming much larger than before. When he saw Strongboulder stride over, he lunged out, spitting out a pink gas.

Strongboulder’s figure suddenly pulled upwards, turning into a large stone giant and stepping down on Milliped before immediately turning back. He could transform at will. He went up and reached towards Li Qingshan’s neck. “Wake up!”

“Master!” Ye Liubo cried out. It crossed a great distance and reached Li Qingshan’s ears.

Li Qingshan slowly opened his firmly-shut eyes. His ruby-like eyes glistened. “It’s you?”

Bloodshadow said from one side, “Where’s your original body? The Spider Queen wants to see you. We want to see you too, to settle an old debt!”

“Lift your foot!” Li Qingshan saw Milliped struggling under Strongboulder’s foot, and his gaze suddenly coldened.

“Are you angry? If you are, then hurry up and come. I’ve already become far too impatient to fight you.”

“If you take too long, your servants are all going to die.” Bloodshadow waved his hand, and a night roamer guard began to twitch all over. Bright-red blood oozed rapidly out from every single pore of his, flying into Bloodshadow’s hand. He extended his tongue and licked it.

Rings of light, like ripples, radiated from Li Qingshan. All the night roamers the light reached felt tranquility blossom inside. The light moved through Strongboulder’s arm and reached his body.

Strongboulder suddenly sensed the battle and killing intent that raged within him eternally settle down, which took him by surprise. He took a step back and released Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan’s figure flickered in the centre of the ripples, sometimes blurry and sometimes clear. Yet, he also seemed like a reflection in the ripples. Only his daemon qi constantly rose up.

The flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, were just reflections—Watermirror’s Image. The mirror could shatter, and the water could be disturbed, but the flower and moon would remain the same. Since his original body had changed, his reflection altered too.
