"You brat!"

At that moment, a cautious voice suddenly rang in Li Qingyue's ears.

When she looked in the direction of the sound, she found a furtive figure in the corner of the wall not far away, peeking out a slightly lewd head and looking at her.

Li Qingyue frowned; this person was none other than her nominal master, Li Changdao.

"Come here! What are you standing there for, you brat?"

Seeing that Li Qingyue was hesitant to get up, Li Changdao urged her to hurry up.

Li Qingyue glanced at him briefly before turning her head away, her eyes filled with worry for Shen Shuchou.

"You brat, come with me right now."

The next moment, the sound in her ear grew louder. Li Changdao appeared beside her at some point and grabbed Li Qingyue's hand without saying a word, about to leave.

"Why are you here?"

Li Qingyue did not leave, but instead asked a question.

"It's a long story, but anyway, come with me quickly."

Li Changdao was studying the wisp of demonic energy he had obtained last time within the sect when he suddenly discovered that the demonic energy had become turbulent, as if it had encountered something it was afraid of.

So Li Changdao followed the aura that the demonic energy feared all the way to this place.

Upon arriving at this place, the demonic energy in his hand actually burrowed into the body of a purple-haired woman, as if she had found a home, or rather, a refuge.

Li Changdao immediately sensed that something was wrong. As his gaze shifted, he was surprised to find that the mortal he had seen last time was not only alive, but also alive.

Moreover, judging from the current appearance, he is clearly a terrifying demon, and the oppressive aura emanating from him is the source of fear for the wisp of demonic energy in his hand.

But what shocked Li Changdao the most was the woman opposite Shen Shuchou, who was none other than Li Jianxin, the current master of the Hidden Moon Sword Sect.

Not only that, Li Changdao also discovered that his apprentice, Li Qingyue, was behind that demon.

The thought of his own disciple having been in contact with him, coupled with the sight of the purple-haired woman beside Li Jianxin, made Li Changdao realize that there must be some unspeakable secret involved.

But Li Changdao couldn't say much to Li Qingyue right now; the most important thing was to get her away from here as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Li Qingyue glanced at Shen Shuchou in the arena, then turned to look at Li Changdao.

This glance made Li Changdao take a small step back.

"Master... could you..."

Li Qingyue pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but before she could finish speaking, Li Changdao refused her request.

"No way, don't even think about it."

As soon as Li Changdao heard Li Qingyue call him "Master," he knew something bad had happened.

He knew that this brat must want him to help the boy, something that was absolutely impossible for Li Changdao.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyue fell silent.

"That person is Li Jianxin! Even if two old Taoists were to defeat her alone, I would not be able to defeat her. Moreover, this is a matter of the Hidden Moon Sword Sect. It would be more reasonable for you to ask me to help exorcise the demon, but you want me to help that demon deal with Li Jianxin? That is simply a pipe dream. Doing so would be tantamount to dragging the Qin Sword Sect into a dangerous situation."

Li Changdao spoke earnestly and patiently.

"But he is definitely not the wicked devil who plagues the area; the purple-haired woman behind him is."

Li Qingyue looked at him and said.

Even though Shen Shuchou now looks like an unparalleled demon lord, Li Qingyue still firmly believes that he is definitely not a bad person.

Moreover, she knew who the source of that strange demonic energy was, so she was even less likely to believe that Shen Shuchou was the demon who was harming the area.

"Whether he is or not is not for us to decide. Just look at his current appearance. If you say this, who else but you will believe it?"

Li Changdao continued.

Perhaps there's something strange about the purple-haired woman following Li Jianxin, but that's not something he can define.

"I believe you, my brother isn't a bad person, sob sob, let me go, I want to stay with my brother."

Pei Rou, who was next to Li Qingyue, immediately shouted.

Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Shen Shuchou with deep concern.

Even if it meant death, she wanted to die with her brother.

Li Changdao wanted to say something more, but then he noticed a gaze fixed on him.

Looking back, he discovered that the owner of that gaze was none other than Li Jianxin.

Li Changdao trembled and quickly put on a friendly smile.

Without waiting for Li Qingyue's hesitation, he tried to forcibly pull her away.

Knowing she couldn't persuade Li Changdao otherwise, Li Qingyue pointed to Pei Rou beside her and said, "She has to come with me, otherwise I won't go anywhere."

"Alright, alright, let's go."

Li Changdao hesitated for a few moments but reluctantly agreed. The little girl was with the boy, and if he hadn't been worried about Li Qingyue, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this matter at all.

"Waaah, I won't go! Let me go, brother! I want my brother!"

Pei Rou's eyes were filled with tears, which slid down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

Those eyes were firm and burning, fixed intently on Shen Shuchou's back.

Her eyes were filled with endless longing and yearning; all she wanted was to be with her brother.

"Sweetie! I'll come find you."

Seemingly sensing Pei Rou's pain, Shen Shuchou turned around and, with the last shred of his rationality, spoke softly with a touch of tenderness.

Finally, Shen Shuchou looked at Li Qingyue again and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Li Qingyue didn't speak, but nodded slightly, looking at Pei Rou who was restless in her arms. Then she touched her with her breath, which immediately calmed her down.

Tears still managed to squeeze out from those tightly closed eyes, a sight that sent a shiver down Shen Shuchou's spine.

Li Qingyue followed Li Changdao away from this place. During this time, Li Jianxin did not choose to stop her, nor did she care about the little girl. Now, she only had Shen Shuchou in her eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou turned back with relief, but his last remaining ideal was completely swallowed up by the tidal wave of demonic energy.

"Come and fight! Let's see how sharp your sword is."

Shen Shuchou stared coldly at Li Jianxin with a crimson light in his eyes, as if carrying endless killing intent.

His gaze was like a raging fire in the cold night, burning with anger and determination.

As his words fell, the entire space trembled.

It was as if the earth was trembling, the wind and clouds were changing color, and an invisible force spread outwards from him.

Space seemed to vibrate under the impact of this force.

Without any hesitation, Shen Shuchou struck first, his figure flashing as fast as lightning as a gust of wind towards Li Jianxin.

The Listening to Spring Rain sword in his hand flickered with an eerie red light, like a burning flame. A terrifying and sharp blade aura roared out, slashing towards the enemy with endless killing intent.

His movements were fluid and natural, each step filled with boundless killing intent, as if he had become one with Ting Chunyu.

As he attacked, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, his momentum overwhelming and suffocating.

This was the first time in his three lifetimes that Li Jianxin and Shen Shuchou had faced a Tribulation Realm expert.

Faced with such a terrifying existence, striking first is the best opportunity.

Li Jianxin smiled dismissively, and then a sharp sword intent suddenly rippled around her, and a long sword with a deep blue body appeared from the void.

Li Jianxin's eyes were cold and indifferent, like the cold spring of the deepest hell. In an instant, the long sword in her hand slashed out, carrying a sharp sword aura, and struck Shen Shuchou like lightning.

This sword strike contained the terrifying power and unparalleled swordsmanship of Li Jianxin, as if it could tear everything apart.

Shen Shuchou did not back down. The Listening Spring Rain sword in his hand resonated with a buzzing sound. He wielded the huge blade with the momentum of a whirlwind to meet the sword energy.

In an instant, the sword energy and the blade's momentum collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

Radiant light, sword energy and blade aura intertwined, creating a suffocating aura.

The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this powerful force, as if it were about to be torn apart.

In an instant, the sword energy surged forth like a raging torrent, instantly breaking through Shen Shuchou's blade momentum and engulfing it.

He didn't even have time to react before he was blasted away by the powerful force.

In an instant, his body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The ground seemed to have been struck, creating a deep crater, and surrounding objects were scattered everywhere.

"If this is all the strength you have, then you have insulted my sword."

Li Jianxin stood in the air, his eyes full of contempt.

This is the terrifying strength and confidence of someone at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. So what if Shen Shuchou transforms into a terrifying great demon?

I ask you, among all the powerful cultivators in the world who have transcended the Tribulation Realm, who can withstand her sword strike from Li Jianxin?

Who would dare to test their sword against her sword heart?

Lying in the deep pit, Shen Shuchou's body was a bloody mess; if it weren't for his intact face, he would hardly be recognized as a human.

A strange smile appeared beneath Shen Shuchou's crimson eyes, as if the sword strike was merely a tickle to him.

But the next moment, a horrifying scene unfolded.

Countless streams of blood gushed forth from the corpses in Qingshui County.

Like a red ribbon, it continuously converges towards the listening to the spring rain.

This bizarre scene resembled a blood sacrifice, while Ting Chunyu was like a greedy demon, devouring this life essence.

Even the blood in Shen Shuchou's body was being continuously absorbed by the power of Tingchunyu.

The entire space was stained with a scarlet color, and the stench of blood was overwhelming and nauseating.

The sky, shrouded in the crimson arena, suddenly cracked open, revealing a terrifying and eerie blood gate that appeared in mid-air, with crimson demonic patterns emerging along the horizon.

At this moment, deep within the sea of ​​blood in the Listening to Spring Rain, Hong Yu, dressed in red, excitedly popped her head out.

She sensed that Shen Shuchou was sacrificing his life for her, which meant that she could return to her master, whom she had been waiting for for so long.

However, Hongyu was still quite curious about what kind of person would make Shen Shuchou sacrifice his life.

When Hongyu looked through the blade, the little head suddenly froze.

As Li Jianxin's figure came into her view, a memory seemed to slowly resurface in Hongyu's mind.

But no matter how hard Hongyu tried to recall it, she couldn't remember it for a while.

Hongyu's eyes gradually turned fierce as she stared intently at the person in front of her, as if trying to see through her body to uncover the secrets hidden deep within.

Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaving violently, and an uncontrollable anger surged within her.

Each breath she took was scalding hot, as if a raging inferno was burning inside her body.

As Hong Yu raged, an even stronger power erupted.

A powerful, suffocating demonic aura suddenly rippled outwards, originating from the Netherworld Demon Realm.

Carrying an aura of endless evil and destruction, it swept through the entire space like a black whirlwind.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and Li Jianxin's breathing suddenly became rapid, as if he were being oppressed by this terrifying power.

Wherever the demon's power passed, grass and trees were destroyed, the wind howled, and sand and stones flew, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

Its imposing presence is like a raging storm or a thunderclap from the heavens.

Li Jianxin's expression changed drastically, and for a moment she suddenly felt insignificant.

Shen Shuchou also stood up again at this moment, his eyes fixed on her.
