I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Countless times she fought on the battlefield, winning against overwhelming odds, always giving her all.

Back then, tens of thousands of rootless and remnant soldiers entered the land of Northern Wei alone, facing danger everywhere. The slightest carelessness could lead to the annihilation of the entire army, yet she did not feel this kind of fear.

Xiao Yue immediately realized that she had encountered an enemy she could not withstand.

She was very unwilling to accept it.

She had never revealed her feelings to her master, nor had she ever shared a tender moment with him. Since their parting, they had never met again, but she didn't want to see him again for good.

Knowing that her chances of survival were slim, Xiao Yue, in her moment of crisis, unleashed several sword energies and carved six characters on a small stone.

"Master, see you in the next life."

She then threw the stone under the house, where it was covered by weeds.

These were her last words.

Afterwards, Xiao Yue left her room, took the sword Lin Yi had given her, and flew up to a high place.

The night is long, and the stars are brilliant.

A meteor streaked swiftly toward the military camp.

Greedy Wolf Star descends!

With a single wolf howl, the overwhelming divine power instantly knocked out the more than 100,000 soldiers present.

The Star Lord of Greed is here to devour Xiao Yue, to devour her, and then to replace her, or to bring chaos to the world—that is Greed's destiny.

These soldiers, of course, would have their lives spared, to become his servants in the future.

"So you've already sensed my presence and are preparing to die?"

Xiao Yue looked at the Star Lord of Greed. At this moment, the Star Lord of Greed was just a ball of light, vaguely resembling the shape of a wolf's head.

Judging from his imposing presence, you can tell he's no ordinary person.

Xiao Yue said coldly, "I may die in battle, but I am not surrendering. Do it. If you kill me today, one day my master will avenge me."

"Your master?"

Greedy Wolf Star had no idea who Xiao Yue's master was; in Xiao Yue's destiny, there shouldn't have been a master.

He seemed to understand the root cause of the changes in the fate of the Greedy Wolf Star; the variable lay in that master.

"It seems your master has a mysterious background. He must have some skill to be able to disrupt your destiny. But don't underestimate me. I am the Greedy Wolf Star Lord from the Upper Realm!"

How could your master be a match for me?

The Star Lord of Greed said nonchalantly, "The cultivators in the mortal realm are all trash; not a single one of them is capable of fighting."

However, recalling that ruthless man wielding a great red sword, the Star Lord of Greed still shuddered.

Um, stand up first, and I'll say it again.

Apart from that ruthless person, all other cultivators in the human realm are trash.

"Don't expect him to avenge you. He won't even know that I devoured you, because you were born with the destiny of the Greedy Wolf Star!"

The Greedy Wolf Star Lord enjoys the thrill of toying with his prey; he likes to watch his opponents become fearful, angry, and then driven to desperation.

The whole process was enjoyable.

"After I devour you, I will inherit your soul and body, and no one will be able to detect any flaws."

Maybe when I get tired of playing, I'll kill your master with my own hands.

Unfortunately, your soul will also be devoured by me, meaning you'll miss the chance to reunite with your master in the underworld!

Greedy Wolf Star's words completely enraged Xiao Yue, amplifying her inner fear many times over.

If she dies at the hands of the Greedy Wolf Star Lord, she will lose her soul and will never be able to see Lin Yi again in any future life.

At this thought, Xiao Yue felt a surge of murderous intent.

Even when the Killing Sutra was activated to its extreme, the Star Lord of Greed still maintained a cat-and-mouse demeanor.

No matter how angry a mortal is, how can he possibly rival a god?

He wanted to see Xiao Yue's despair.

Xiao Yue's inner conviction was unwavering; from the moment she sensed the crisis, she never considered running away.

Fear won't make her run away; it will only make her angrier.

She longs for a better life, and she will not let anyone who tries to thwart her aspirations get away with it.

She dares to slay even a god!

Enraged, Xiao Yue drew her sword and slashed at the ball of light.

The Star Lord of Greed neither dodged nor avoided the attack, and even mocked, "I am a Star Spirit, how can you, a mere mortal, harm me, ah..."

The last sentence was a scream from the Star of Greed.

Xiao Yue slashed down a ray of starlight with her sword, and the starlight automatically wrapped around her sword.

"How could you hurt me? How could you!"

The Star Lord of Greed felt dumbfounded, as if he were living in a dream.

This is unrealistic. A mere mortal, using her ordinary longsword, cut down a ray of starlight from him.

Outrageous!

However, in his fury, the Star Lord of Greed quickly realized that someone must have tampered with her.

It's no wonder that Xiao Yue's fate changed; it seems that some rats in the gutter are restless and trying to overturn destiny.

Enraged, the Star Lord of Greed lost all interest in playing around and said in a deep voice, "Even if you have the power to hurt me, you still can't defeat me."

I will devour your soul in the most cruel way!

Xiao Yue didn't say anything, but instead slashed at the Star Lord of Greed.

With the starlight's support, she became even faster.

For her, there was no need to communicate with the Star Lord of Greed, nor did she need to pay attention to his mockery.

She had only one thought.

Kill the Star Lord of Greed, and then live on!

As for the unexpected power of the Greedy Wolf Star, Xiao Yue had her own guesses.

When Senior Feng hope suddenly woke up and kissed her, it was probably on that occasion that he granted her a unique power.

In short, she is not fighting alone now, so it is not impossible for her to try to kill a god.

Just like her master.

If you block my way, I'll kill even the gods!

In Xiao Yue's heart, Lin Yi was invincible.

Little did they know that if Lin Yi had encountered the Greedy Wolf Star Lord a month earlier, he would have been utterly defeated.

As a star official, and a very powerful one at that, the Star Lord of Greed is on the same level as the God of War.

Moreover, with the blessing of starlight, it might be even more powerful than the God of War, regardless of other circumstances.

Of course, Lin Yi is different now.

He was unaware that his apprentice was engaged in a life-or-death battle, because he himself was also in the midst of one.

This battle, though fantastical, has finally come to an end.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he had used all the tricks at least once, maybe even repeatedly, but he couldn't remember them.

The taste of a goddess is really good!

Lin Yi was reluctant to leave and didn't want to go.

But after that day ended, Nuwa stopped.

“I have fulfilled your wish, and it is time for you to return to your own path.”

Lin Yi was shocked when he heard that Nuwa wanted to send him away.

Only then did he remember that he was supposed to save the world from suffering.

Sorry everyone, I was having so much fun that I almost forgot about home.

Will I ever see you again?

Well done, you didn't say a word about the common people!

Nuwa opened her arms and gave Lin Yi a big hug.

"When you think of me, I'm everywhere you look."

"Then... can I still make a wish to you next time we meet?"

"..."

Even Nuwa was rendered speechless by him.

Are you trying to make a wish?

I can't bear to expose you.

She didn't want to talk anymore. She raised her hand and waved it. Lin Yi felt as if the space shattered. Then, he felt as if he had bumped into something and heard a series of cracking sounds.

When he opened his eyes, streams of blood-red light surged into his body.

Yan Qingqiu also saw the blood-red cocoon envelop Lin Yi and quickly merge into his body.

Lin Yi reappeared completely naked. Yan Qingqiu didn't think much of it. Seeing the faint divine light emanating from his body, he guessed that Lin Yi must have gone to practice his martial arts.

It's understandable that his clothes burned away because he practiced a special technique.

"You're back."

Seeing Lin Yi reappear, Yan Qingqiu felt much more at ease.

With him around, there's no need to fear the dark clouds rebelling.

Lin Yi briefly examined his physical body and felt an unprecedented power within him.
