Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 217 Demon Fetus Unleashed 50%
"What will I get?" Wanyan Kang asked Qiu Chuji after pausing for about ten breaths.

He has never been a submissive, well-behaved, honest person who is willing to live an ordinary or stable life. It is for this reason that he reconciled with Qiu Chuji in order to learn peerless martial arts from this master, and he has maintained a close relationship with Wanyan Honglie, because the identity of a young prince is indeed a shortcut.

He has many similarities with Guo Jing, but they are two completely different people.

Their differences are innate, so no matter how much guidance and education you give, don't think about turning Wanyan Kang into Guo Jing.

Emotions are the bond that binds him, but emotions are not everything to him.

Wanyan Kang is actually very similar to Wanyan Honglie, and he may even be colder than Wanyan Honglie.

Wanyan Honglie, a romantic man, would allow his pursuit of power to have a fatal flaw for the sake of Bao Xiruo.

In fact, Wanyan Kang was never willing to give up his rights and status for Mu Nianci.

"Extraordinary strength, the ability to see into people's hearts, the almost endless greed and pursuit of power, wealth and beauty, and perhaps some wisdom and perception in the dark," said Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji was not at all surprised by Wanyan Kang's "utilitarianism".

He knew very well that Wanyan Kang and Wanyan Honglie's 'parting ways' was actually half a deliberate act.

Qiu Chuji knew even more that Wanyan Kang had actually done something sinister to Wanyan Honglie. No matter how hard Wanyan Honglie tried after returning to Zhongdu, he could not have a child... unless it was someone else's.

He doesn't look like he cares, and that's because he cares.

Wanyan Honglie showed his desire for power and control over him, so he showed it to Wanyan Honglie, and was forced to part with him sadly because of the other party's "insincerity".

After all, only 'true love' can be exchanged for 'true heart'.

Chasing love, chasing friendship, chasing family, chasing victory... This is how Wanyan Kang performed!

But those who believed it were fools, such as Guo Jing, Mu Nianci, and perhaps Wanyan Honglie.

Huang Rong's vigilance towards Wanyan Kang has never decreased, and has even continued to rise.

Dugu Qiubai was always on guard against Wanyan Kang, so he never showed any sign of goodwill.

"Then what will I have to endure?" Wanyan Kang asked again.

"A force so strong that it is difficult to control oneself, facing the most unspeakable darkness in the human heart, and some worldly desires such as power, wealth, and beauty will devour your soul, and perhaps turn you into their puppet. You will become more and more calculating, and good at disguising and hiding, until even the people closest to you can't tell which one is the real you."

"You will become a more powerful 'me', but you will also lose the 'me' you once knew." Qiu Chuji stared at Wanyan Kang seriously and said.

Although the demon fetus was born from absorbing sins and is powerful because of its demonic nature, it was originally split from Qiu Chuji's thoughts and is more or less contaminated with some of Qiu Chuji's aura.

The Dao Heart Demon Planting Method does not mean to plant demons and then leave it alone. The game and tug of war between souls, the mutual infection of principles and perceptions, always exist and continue.

When the demon fetus was rarely unsealed, Qiu Chuji relied on his powerful soul and didn't feel anything.

But when the demon fetus's power is unlocked to 25%, Wanyan Kang's many violent emotional fluctuations will shock and affect Qiu Chuji.

This was also an extremely rare practice and experience for Qiu Chuji.

It can even be said to be the fast track to polishing the primordial spirit.

Once Wanyan Kang really completely refined the demon fetus, then Qiu Chuji would basically have to upgrade his primordial spirit from the night-time wandering realm to the day-time wandering realm, or even just survive the thunder tribulation before he could transform into a yang spirit.

In a sense, the current relationship between Qiu Chuji and Wanyan Kang is like "tribulation". Wanyan Kang becomes Qiu Chuji's substitute for the tribulation, and Qiu Chuji gives Wanyan Kang a chance to break free from fate and change everything.

"Am I not myself?" Wan Yan Kang muttered to himself, and then laughed: "I... have long ceased to be myself!"

"Come!" Wanyan Kang opened his arms and said to Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji did not unblock him immediately, but asked, "Wait a minute? I can wait until you and Mu girl return from your travels, and then I'll unblock you." "Come!" Wanyan Kang took a step forward, his tone firm and even a little impatient.

He wanted to hold his own destiny firmly in his hands, even though he knew the road ahead would be difficult.

"Okay!" Qiu Chuji did not hesitate. He stretched out his hand and touched Wanyan Kang's brow, and half of the demon-suppressing talisman completely disappeared.

In an instant, Wanyan Kang's eyes were completely dark.

In the darkness, he became something darker than the night. The sound of the surging sea turned into meaningless silence beside him. The light of the moon and stars was being swallowed by him.

Wanyan Kang took a step forward and jumped onto the sea.

Without any instruction, a dark barrier formed around his body.

He just stood among the waves, looking down at the dark, deep sea beneath his feet. The darkness under his feet merged with the darkness on his body, as if wanting to completely infiltrate something too gloomy and dark into the sea.

The school of fish under Wanyan Kang's feet were fleeing, and those that didn't have time to escape were crushed by the undercurrents.

Soon, under his feet, some scarlet pigment appeared among the black.

Wanyan Kang suddenly raised his head and gave an evil smile to Qiu Chuji who was still standing at the stern of the boat.

He waved his hand in a provocative gesture.

The impact after more than half of the demon fetuses were unsealed was even more severe than Qiu Chuji had expected. In addition to Wanyan Kang's action, Qiu Chuji felt the murderous intent beneath the seemingly 'calm' sea.

He wanted to break free from Qiu Chuji's restraints and constraints and gain true freedom and ease.

Wanyan Kang's previous emotional behaviors, those expressions that were bound by emotions, were both real and false.

The truth is that it is due to Wanyan Kang's own emotional outburst, and the falsehood is that his emotional release all comes from the instigation of the demon fetus.

It seemed to know what Qiu Chuji wanted, so it deliberately showed it to Qiu Chuji.

This is to achieve the purpose of getting Qiu Chuji to unseal it.

More than half of the talismans have been unlocked, which means that more than half of the demon-suppressing talismans are missing.

In this case, even if Qiu Chuji does not help to unseal it later, the demon fetus can still rely on Wanyan Kang's own power to slowly consume the remaining half.

Is Qiu Chuji the one who was led by the nose?

It is definitely impossible. When the real is made fake, and the fake is made real, who can tell the real from the fake?
If you invest too much in false love, it becomes real.

If true emotions are concealed and disguised, they will fade away over time.

Wanyan Kang thought that Qiu Chuji had always guided him on love and the bonds between people, so he behaved in this way.

But actually, it’s not!
A real move often happens inadvertently and exists as a hook.

Whoosh...!

Qiu Chuji also jumped into the sea, and his raised sleeves created two huge waves.

As the sea water shook, all the murderous intentions that Wanyan Kang had secretly placed on the seabed were crushed to pieces.

The master and the disciple stood on the sea, looking at each other, and waited for each other's next words.
