However, in the wave of the demon tribe's retreat, a thin, skinny figure was limping slowly against the wave.
Ouyang Jing, who had originally shown a look of joy, suddenly froze in expression, and Su Lanyu also frowned slightly in the direction of that person.
"Haha... the youngsters nowadays are really amazing. It's a pity for my little fish."
The man was a skinny, pale and bloodless old man with white hair.
However, no one dared to look down on him, even Su Lanyu's expression became serious.
"Nascent Soul...Great Perfection?"
Chapter 48: Demon
-------------
Su Lanyu retreated immediately and jumped into the spiritual spring.
Although she was so fierce when she killed the Mermaid King with one strike just now, in fact, like Ouyang Jing, her spiritual power had been exhausted. However, as a water cultivator, she could also heal her wounds and restore her strength in this spiritual spring like the demons.
The withered old man did not make a move, but just looked at Su Lanyu with interest: "Do you really think you can win?"
He has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul and appears to be a powerful being who has lived for a long time. In terms of combat experience and skills reserves, he is much stronger than them.
However, Su Lanyu said calmly: "We are no match for them, but if we hold on until my senior brother comes back, you will die."
"Oh? You mean Xiao Wuyou? He is indeed still alive."
The old man's words finally put Su Lanyu's heart at ease.
But then the old man said, "He stepped on a teleportation trap and fell into the deep sea. Even if he survives, he will be lost in the darkness. You can't count on him."
Su Lanyu was startled, her heart went cold, and her whole body tensed up.
There is no need to make up such a lie to deceive them. Brother Wuyou should have really been teleported away. In other words, we can only rely on ourselves.
Not only Su Lanyu, all the true disciples realized this and took action together at this moment.
If they don’t kill this old man, they will all die!
The thunder whip, the sword formation, and the purple-black candle dragon attacked from three directions, but the old man didn't even move a finger, as if an invisible force blocked everyone's attacks.
Su Lanyu was icy and lightning-like. She crossed her hands, bent her fingers into claws, and chased after him fiercely. For a moment, frost and lightning were everywhere. She felt that she had grabbed something soft and slippery. The force was dissipated and the whole person was bounced back.
At this moment, a strange shadow appeared faintly in the air.
Su Lanyu waved her hand and summoned a gust of snow wind to rush over, finally outlining the outline of the alien creature.
It was an octopus tentacle that was dozens of meters long, emitting a colorful and strange luster, and it made people dizzy at just one look!
"Tentacle...are you the Kraken?!" Su Lanyu recognized the tentacle's true form at a glance and was stunned.
Not only Su Lanyu, but Ouyang Jing and others were also shocked.
"It is rumored that the North Sea Monster is an ancient monster that brought disaster to the human world, violated the will of heaven, and was punished for betraying the Dragon King. Why would it appear in the East China Sea?!" Ouyang Jing's common sense was overturned and he could not understand it at all.
The Kraken laughed, but his laughter was hoarse, dry, and shrill, without even a trace of laughter in it.
"So that's what history records. Dragon King? That little girl is worthy of it?!"
"A girl?" Su Lanyu and the others looked at each other, feeling that they had accidentally learned too many buried secrets.
As we all know, the Dragon King can only be male. Otherwise, he would have been called the Queen long ago.
However, now is obviously not the time to satisfy their curiosity. Seeing that the giant monster's eyes were dazed and seemed to be reminiscing about the past, everyone took the opportunity to attack him together, intending to catch him off guard.
However, the huge tentacle was much faster than it looked. With just a flash, it knocked Yang Wei, Ouyang Jing, and Ouyang Zhishui away.
Only Su Lanyu had the Dragon-Exploring Step, and he leaped over the tentacles by a hair's breadth and attacked with one claw.
The blue thunder fell.
He pulled the tentacles back in time to block in front of him, but was torn to pieces and blood was flowing out.
"Varied......"
Su Lanyu's eyes widened in disbelief. She didn't expect that this lightning-infused blow would only scratch the surface of the tentacles. The few bloodstains that had finally flowed out also healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Oh, today is a really good day! Bone hairpins, spiritual springs, and human flesh and blood. Thank you for bringing all these to my door." A ferocious smile appeared on the dry face of the North Sea Monster.
Su Lanyu felt a chill all over her body and quickly crossed her arms to prepare for the opponent's attack.
However, as soon as the Kraken raised his hand, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
He looked at Su Lanyu's face carefully, and suddenly shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, no... You, you are her?!"
Su Lanyu was shocked, but she was confused.
"What do you mean she is not her? I am a true disciple of the Absolute Sword Sect, a cultivator of the human race!"
But soon, the Kraken covered its face, as if it suddenly realized something, and started laughing again.
"So that's how it is..."
The Kraken looked at Su Lanyu with pity: "You are wrong, absolutely wrong."
Su Lanyu didn't understand what he was saying, but she felt inexplicably irritated and attacked him suddenly.
But this time, the Kraken did not fight back at all, and just used its tentacles to block Su Lanyu's attacks.
"Do you really think you are human?"
"What on earth do you want to say?!"
Su Lanyu roared, lightning and frost intersected, and with a full-strength attack, he finally cut off the tentacles in front of him.
But at the same time, her body softened and she almost fell down.
In a moment of excitement, her spiritual energy was exhausted again. She hurriedly retreated and tried to rush back to the spiritual spring, but was hit by the tentacles that suddenly attacked her as fast as lightning. She was knocked away and hit the stone wall hard.
Unable to resist, she could only listen to the hoarse and disgusting voice continue to ring out.
"Aren't you surprised?"
"Why do you have such a good affinity with this rich spiritual spring? Why can you suddenly control the two spiritual powers of lightning and ice? Why do you feel so uncomfortable now?"
Su Lanyu opened her mouth to refute, but the strong feeling of suffocation stuck in her throat.
Since the moment she had been with the Mermaid King, she had only felt a silence in her chest. This was different from the agitation she had felt when she had made breakthroughs before, or even the opposite. It made her feel extremely frustrated and wanted to vent, but her consciousness was very clear and her rationality was not affected at all.
It was as if what she was trying so hard to suppress and endure was the real her.
She didn't know what it was, but she had a premonition that if it was released, she and Xiao Wuyou would never be able to return to their previous relationship.
Su Lanyu groaned, cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and she gritted her teeth tightly, forcing the power in her body to be suppressed. This alone consumed a lot of her energy, so that she had no time to care about her surroundings.
However, at this moment, tentacles fell from the sky, and Su Lanyu had no time to dodge and was hit directly.
"Not good, go and rescue..." Ouyang Jing and others hurriedly moved, but immediately stayed where they were.
Because violent lightning emerged from there and tore the tentacles apart.
The person there was not Su Lanyu.
Scales appeared on his arms, his tail swayed behind him, long horns grew from his temples, and his eyes also became gleaming.
There is no doubt that it is impossible for a human being to look like this.
"No......"
Su Lanyu stumbled to the spiritual spring and looked at herself in the water. Even though she was unwilling, she still heard the truth spoken by the hoarse voice.
"You are not a human at all, but a demon!"
Wouldn’t Chapter 49 be better?
-----------------------
I am a monster......?
The moment she realized this, something in Su Lanyu's brain broke, and she knelt on the ground powerlessly.
At this moment, terrifying and strange tentacles attacked her like lightning and tightly wrapped around her waist.
Su Lanyu looked at the approaching danger and heard the cries of the monks around her. Although she was still conscious, she was unable to react.
For her, at this moment, life and death are no longer important.
Until the tiny flame ignited in the girl's vision.
The strange tentacle was completely devoured by the scarlet flame with one strike of the sword. The sword came from somewhere else in the cave, directly cutting through the thick stone wall and landing accurately on the tentacle.
Under the shining stars, a gentleman in white clothes holding a sword came floating over.
The slender girl with blue hair fluttering like water fell into Xiao Wuyou's arms before she could react.
"Senior Brother!" Su Lanyu's eyes regained focus instantly. She subconsciously wanted to reach out to the other party, but she pulled her hand back suddenly as if she had been electrocuted.
Seeing that Su Lanyu was fine, Xiao Wuyou wanted to say a few words of comfort, but unexpectedly Su Lanyu suddenly stepped back.
"Don't come over here!"
"What's wrong?"
Su Lanyu's originally clear and crisp voice became extremely hoarse at this moment, which was heartbreaking: "You knew it a long time ago, right? You knew that I am not a human at all!"
Xiao Wuyou's heart skipped a beat, but he still maintained his composure and nodded slightly.
Hiss... I didn't expect things to turn out like this after leaving for a while.
Xiao Wuyou took a quick glance at the reactions of the monks at the scene and the skinny old man in the distance, and guessed most of what was going on at once, and his head started to hurt.
But he never hesitated when he spoke: "So what?"
"you......"
The withered old man suddenly said: "Haha, Xiao Wuyou, huh? I didn't expect you could really walk back from the bottom of the sea. It's just right, how about telling her the truth right here?!"
Xiao Wuyou was shocked. He never expected that this old man could also talk nonsense.
He looked carefully and found that just at the moment of fighting with him, the old man used his tentacles to snatch Su Lanyu's dragon crystal bone hairpin in a flash.
While they were talking, the old man was using his spiritual power to pry open the luck on the dragon crystal bone hairpin.
Xiao Wuyou had long guessed that there was a big boss behind the demon clan who could mobilize luck, or at least knew something about the bone hairpin. However, when he looked at it now, he was both amused and sad.
Because the other party's efficiency in mobilizing his luck was too slow, no, it couldn't even be called mobilization, it was completely a forced borrowing of energy at the expense of a large amount of his own spiritual power. However, Xiao Wuyou could use his luck to do whatever he wanted. The old man tried to delay time, but he had no idea that his calculations were so low in Xiao Wuyou's eyes.
It is just like primitive people could only use fire to illuminate themselves, but had no idea that thermal energy could drive the progress of civilization.
After confirming that the old man was not in danger for the time being, Xiao Wuyou decided to pretend not to notice his little action and concentrate on his junior sister.
He stared at Su Lanyu's eyes, slowly approached, and said casually: "Xiao Yu, I never care about the boundary between humans and monsters."
But Su Lanyu just shook her head and avoided him.
The girl's eyes flushed, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string: "You really do know... No, it's better to say that you just wanted to verify this, right? You gave me the bone hairpin and asked me to soak in the spiritual spring just to confirm whether I am a demon!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar among the righteous monks.
They had no clue before, but now after hearing what Su Lanyu said, they all guessed that Su Xiaoyu was Su Lanyu. It was hard to accept for a while that the senior sister they admired, the Lingbo Fairy who had long been famous in the world of immortal cultivation, was actually a demon!
"Brother Xiao, are you going to kill your own relatives for the sake of justice..." Ouyang Jing also sorted out his thoughts and understood everything Xiao Wuyou had planned so far.
He was not a close friend of Su Lanyu, but everyone who knew Su Lanyu thought that she deserved the title of Fairy of the Righteous Path.
However, the boundary between humans and demons cannot be violated by anyone. Moreover, a demon clan actually infiltrated the righteous sect and became a true disciple. This is an unprecedented scandal in ten thousand years. For Su Lanyu, killing him with a sword may be the best outcome.
After hearing this, Xiao Wuyou's mentality collapsed.
I should have stabbed that old bitch to death just now! No matter how I look at this scene, it seems like I am provoking my junior sister!
"Indeed."
Su Lanyu's eyes blurred and she almost fainted.
"But!" Xiao Wuyou grabbed her hand upon seeing this.
"I don't care! Xiaoyu, so what if you're a monster? You'll always be my junior sister!"
For a moment, Su Lanyu felt warmth flowing, and the issue between humans and monsters was really not important anymore.
Looking at Xiao Wuyou's concerned eyes, she shed tears. She once again forced her hand back, hugged herself, and kept shaking her head.
"...It's my fault, Xiao Wuyou. I failed you."
Xiao Wuyou became anxious when he heard the name, but he had no time to interrupt. He only heard Su Lanyu continue: "Master must have expected something. You must have come here to protect me. But, I'm sorry, I let you down!"
Su Lanyu understood.
