My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Qi Yu asked expressionlessly.

Qi Yu's words were already a tacit admission.

Lin Ruoxi extended her slender, fair hand to Qi Yu and said seriously, "Qi Yu, come with me. If we join forces, with your intelligence and strength, plus the strength of my Xuanzong, we will surely achieve something great."

"Moreover, Taoism and Xuanzong originally came from Taoism. When the two were combined, they became the strongest force, sweeping across the entire continent and allowing Taoism to flourish. Isn't this what you promised the sect leader?"

Qi Yu's eyes were indifferent, and his tone was flat as he asked, "Why should I cooperate with you if I can do it myself?"

"Even if we were to cooperate with you and the Dao and Xuan were to merge, would this new force listen to me or to you?"

Lin Ruoxi fell silent for a long while before speaking.

That is indeed a problem!

Qi Yu would not submit to anyone, and neither would she.

"If you don't agree, then I'll have to keep this child. After all, you're growing up too fast, and I need to have a backup plan to keep you in check!"

"Are you scared?" Qi Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Although Lin Ruoxi didn't want to admit it, she was indeed scared.

Qi Yu is growing up too fast. Although Qi Yu is about to die, Lin Ruoxi is not sure if Qi Yu will do anything crazy in the time he has left.

Now she's not even sure if she can kill Qi Yu.

"Lin Ruoxi, you should know my bottom line. You know what the consequences will be if you cross it!" Qi Yu said coldly.

Lin Ruoxi naturally knew where Qi Yu's bottom line was, and it was precisely because she knew that this child was a necessity.

It is also Su Yue's weakness!

Originally, I thought Qi Yu was already terrifying, but I didn't expect Su Yue to be even better. She's not even a Quasi-Saint yet, but her strength is approaching that of a Quasi-Saint, and has even surpassed her.

Having broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, he was somewhat arrogant, thinking he could suppress Qi Yu.

But Qi Yu is also a sub-sage, and there is an even stronger one, Su Yue.

This couple was both incredibly strong, and for the first time, she felt powerless.

That's why this child is necessary.

Qi Yu and Su Yue have virtually no weaknesses, and it's practically impossible to suppress them.

Neither of them said anything more, and the negotiations had broken down.

Qi Yu released his domain, his clothes began to turn into a royal blue robe, the surrounding temperature began to drop, and then ice formed and snowflakes began to fall.

Lin Ruoxi also released her domain, with purplish-red true energy surging and rose petals fluttering in the air.

The snowflakes and roses falling around were all condensed from the purest true energy, comparable to the sharpest swords.

Chapter Seventy: Important Chips

Bang!

Qi Yu and Lin Ruoxi clashed palms, and Lin Ruoxi was sent flying, crashing heavily into a large mountain, instantly piercing through it.

But soon, Lin Ruoxi floated up again, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and then frowned as she looked at her frostbitten hands.

Qi Yu is very strong. Both of them practice Taoist techniques and are blessed with righteous energy, so ordinary techniques are useless against them.

Qi Yu's "words become law" had no effect on Lin Ruoxi at all.

The only way to determine the winner between two people is by the simplest and most direct method: who is stronger in their field and who has higher martial arts skills.

The battle in the field was still undecided, but Lin Ruoxi lost in the contest of martial arts skills and physical strength.

She was frail and sickly from childhood, but her condition improved somewhat after merging with the Corpse God, and her physical strength also increased because of the Corpse God.

Because of the Corpse God, she is stronger than ordinary grandmasters, but this does not include Qi Yu.

Lin Ruoxi's slender hands moved, forming handprints.

Qi Yu looked at the handprints and felt they were somewhat familiar; he seemed to have seen them in Taoist scriptures.

This seems to be... the arrival of the Dao Ancestor!

It's similar to invoking a deity to possess you!

No matter what, even if Lin Ruoxi is strong, he must take back the child.

With a clenched fist, an ice sword appeared in his hand, with purple energy swirling around its blade, making it shine brilliantly, its purple light dazzling and captivating.

Qi Yu only practices one sword technique – the "Canglan Sword Manual"!

Except for the final move, [Fate Annihilation], which cannot be used, Qi Yu has mastered all other skills.

The sixth move – [World Burning]!

The sword's blade churned up a wave of air, like a burning blue flame, but the surrounding temperature did not rise as a result; on the contrary, it became even lower.

Qi Yu's figure suddenly disappeared, and Lin Ruoxi's hand seals were also completed. A phantom appeared behind her, which was the phantom of the Dao Ancestor.

The illusory image of the Dao Ancestor merged with Lin Ruoxi, and the aura emanating from Lin Ruoxi became heavy and solemn, as if a saint had descended to earth.

In Lin Ruoxi's book, a Heavenly Dao Sword condensed from true energy also appears. With a flick of her wrist, she meets Qi Yu's ice sword.

bump!

A terrifying shockwave swept across the land, and the aftershocks of sword energy spread out, leveling mountain peaks and creating deep ravines across the earth.

The collision of true energy distorted space, making it seem as if an extra sun had appeared in the sky.

Suddenly, a long rainbow shot out from the sun and crashed heavily onto the ground, immediately creating a large crater, with clods of earth cracking and bulging outwards.

Lin Ruoxi knelt in the pit, her purplish-red true qi outer garment mostly torn apart, and blood was flowing from her snow-white skin.

"Cough cough cough~"

Lin Yuexi coughed softly, each cough drawing blood, her eyes filled with resentment.

She really couldn't beat Qi Yu. Could it be that she could only rely on the power of the Corpse God to compete with Qi Yu?

There was another corpse god nearby who hadn't joined the battle; he was just standing by, watching, holding a child in his arms.

Qi Yu gave Lin Ruoxi no chance to catch her breath. In the instant Lin Ruoxi was caught in a whirlwind of thoughts, Qi Yu was already in front of her, his ice sword already slashing down.

Lin Ruoxi had just raised her head when she saw the purple ice sword magnified in her eyes, but she did not panic. The space rippled slightly, and the next moment, Lin Ruoxi and the Corpse God clone switched places.

Qi Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly withdrew his true energy, even at the cost of severing a portion of his meridians to stop himself.

Because the Corpse God's clone was holding a child, she used the child as a shield.

The ice sword stopped at the child's swaddling clothes, its sharp edge even cutting through part of the swaddling clothes.

Qi Yu hastily sheathed his sword, and having severed some of his own meridians, his true energy flowed in reverse, causing his face to turn pale instantly. He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

But Qi Yu had no time to worry about his injuries. After sheathing his sword, he reached out his left hand and tried to take the child back.

What greeted Qi Yu was a delicate hand that looked slender and tender, yet contained a domineering power.

Bang!

Qi Yu was knocked back hundreds of feet by a single palm strike, finally crashing into a small mountain before coming to a stop.

The Corpse God held the child in his arms again, revealing a gentle smile, his long fingernails tracing across the child's cheek.

"From now on, you belong to me. I'll be your mother!"

This child is an important bargaining chip for blackmailing Ran Qiyu and Su Yue, so she will not kill the child. In fact, she will protect him and raise him.

Lin Ruoxi came to the side of the Corpse Goddess, took the child from her hands, and glanced at Qi Yu, who had just slid down the cliff, with a complicated expression.

"Let's go!"

The Corpse God's clone nodded slightly, and ripples like water spread through the surrounding space, gradually making the two figures appear ethereal.

They achieved their goal; the cooperation with Qi Yu was merely an add-on. It would be best if it succeeded, but they wouldn't lose anything if it didn't.

A dozen or so Xuanzong Dao Integration Masters were exchanged for just one child; it seems like a huge loss.

But this child is Qi Yu and Su Yue's weakness. With him in their hands, they have no doubt that Qi Yu will submit.

Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was trying to escape, Qi Yu disregarded his surging blood and immediately used his domain to try to seal off this space.

However, Lin Ruoxi also has a domain, which blocks and cancels out Qi Yu's domain, so Qi Yu cannot seal off the space.

Lin Ruoxi disappeared. Qi Yu suddenly looked to the north, intending to use the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique to catch up. However, as soon as he gathered his strength, a sharp pain shot through his heart and lower abdomen, and the skin on Qi Yu's right hand became dry.

Every time he uses his domain now, he is exchanging his own life force for it.

"Lin Ruoxi!"

Qi Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes turning bloodshot, like a mad beast.

I will give my all to kill you!

……

On Blood God Island, another child was born, a girl, who was crying incessantly and was being held in Xu Shuqin's arms.

Su Yue collapsed from exhaustion and fainted, her face deathly pale.

Not long after, Su Yue woke up and, ignoring her extremely weak body, struggled to stand up.

"My child, I must find my child!"

Su Yue had given birth to two children in a row, and was extremely weak. Her hands, which were supporting her on the bed, were trembling incessantly, and she finally collapsed helplessly.

Upon seeing this, Xu Shuqin hurriedly brought the child over and placed the child next to Su Yue.

"Yue'er, the child is here, don't move!"

Su Yue looked at the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, her eyes welled up with tears that flowed down her cheeks involuntarily.

"Mother, there's another one. Lin Ruoxi took it away. I have to get the child back."

As she spoke, Su Yue, holding the child, struggled to get up. This time she did get up, but her hem was stained red with blood.

Xu Shuqin's expression changed, and she hurriedly pressed Su Yue down, saying, "Yue'er, don't move. Didn't Yu'er go after him? You have to trust him."

"Waaaaah..."
