“Then die!” Ye Liusu called out. With a twist of her dagger, it brushed past the ice blade and swung down. The dagger cut through the darkness, moving even faster and more viciously than the stroke from earlier.
She thought, As a strength type Daemon General, his reaction and speed must be a little slower. Getting so close to me is your greatest miscalculation today! Though, I don’t think I’ve heard of a Daemon General like him under the Spider Queen’s command. Don’t tell me another Daemon Commander sent him over? If I kill him and get caught, it’ll be troublesome. He doesn’t seem to have any killing intent either, so I’d better hold back instead!
But very soon, Ye Liusu discovered that her worries were unnecessary. Li Qingshan flew up without even changing his posture, like he was still lying on the stone platform. He rotated and brushed past the blade. He was surprisingly nimble.
Ye Liusu’s eyes twinkled. The dagger was like a swooping sparrow, going from a downwards slash to an upwards stroke in an unbelievably beautiful manner. In the narrow space above, it turned into a series of blurs, enveloping every vital point on Li Qingshan’s body.
Li Qingshan extended his hand with a smile, grabbing her dagger-wielding right hand with great precision among the flashes and blurs.
Ye Liusu immediately let go of her weapon, turning her hand around and grabbing his arm too, pulling him down. At the same time, she caught the curved dagger with her left hand and went for the throat. It left behind absolutely no trace, a completely unfathomable attack. The killing intent was concealed, dense but hidden.
Even Li Qingshan felt a hint of danger. He tilted his head slightly, and a cold sensation swept past his throat, leaving behind a thin cut. A smile remained on his face. Taking advantage of the overextended attack, he grabbed her left hand too and pushed her down heavily onto the stone platform.
Ye Liusu tried to put up a struggle, but under Li Qingshan’s strength, it was obviously useless. She lifted a long leg of hers that wore black shoes and kicked the back of his head.
Li Qingshan lowered himself conveniently, dodging the kick. “Before you attack someone, it’s best if you hear why they’ve come in the first place.”
Two pairs of eyes met, and the tips of their noses were almost touching. They could clearly feel each other’s breathing, which was rather intimate contact.
Ye Liusu stared into Li Qingshan’s eyes without backing down. Her eyes had dimmed slightly, making her dark blue eyes seem like ice in the night.
“Who are you?”
Li Qingshan was taken aback. He was actually unable to come up with an answer immediately. He raised an eyebrow. “Good question!”
He did not have a proper name right now. Xuanyue had once called him Big Blacko, but it was clearly a very horrible name. He had once called himself the Old Daemon of Black Mountain too, but that was even less appropriate, just in case someone connected it with Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan immediately sank into a dilemma. He had never been good at coming up with names. He had almost forgotten he was lying on top of an absolute beauty.
Ye Liusu took advantage of this opportunity to take note of everything about the enemy. Suddenly, she noticed that something seemed to be carved on the two sharp, protruding horns on his head. She muttered, “North moon.”
Li Qingshan’s eyes immediately lit up. “Yes, that!”
His memories returned to a few years ago. In the depths of the Boundless mountain, that cute, mischievous cat daemon had forcefully carved this promise into his horns, depositing it deep within his memories. Even the heavenly tribulation was unable to erase it.
On the Ice Sword cliff, he had used his loudest voice to bellow at the heavens, swearing he would obtain the power to send her to the Dragon province. He wondered how she was doing right now.
Ye Liusu squinted slightly and suddenly raised her head, slamming it against his. She sneered inside. Hasn’t anyone told you to not become distracted in battle?
With a thunk, Ye Liusu fell back onto the stone bed. It hurt so much that she gasped. So hard!
Li Qingshan returned to his senses. He smiled. “Just call me Northmoon! Hmm? What’s wrong with your head?” A lump had appeared on Ye Liusu’s smooth forehead.
Xiao An crouched at the entrance as her teeth chattered about. She let out a clattering laughter.
“I’m going to kill you!” Ye Liusu squeezed out a threat from between her teeth.
Li Qingshan said, “You’ll have that opportunity later, but let me finish speaking first. Where do I start? Oh right. You know the previous Daemon General in charge of this territory, right?”
“He was a fool called Milliped I think. He was lured away by the humans to be slaughtered. Don’t tell me that’s you!” Ye Liusu mocked.
“Of course not. He might be a little foolish, but you’re not allowed to talk about my friend like that. Anyway, this territory used to belong to him, as well as me. In other words, you’re currently living in my home, lying on my bed. I want you to… piss off.”
Li Qingshan found this way of wording it to be extremely interesting. He felt like he was talking to his ex-wife after a divorce. He tilted his head slightly. “Are you going to agree or disagree?”
“So what if I agree? And so what if I disagree?” Only now did Ye Liusu understand. As it turned out, this guy was a daemon soldier under Milliped’s command. He wanted to take back the territory after going through the heavenly tribulation. However, it led her to an even greater question. How could a daemon that had just emerged from a heavenly tribulation be so powerful? He had completely surpassed her physically!
“It’ll be for the best if you agree. If you don’t agree, I’ll beat you until you agree.” Li Qingshan smiled very sincerely. Giving a beauty like her a thorough beating should be quite the sensation!
“Then try it!” Ye Liusu said frostily. The curved dagger began to spin, turning into a round disc that shot towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan raised his body to avoid it and secretly muttered, “Oh no.” He felt a gust of wind from behind his head. He reached back and grabbed her round, powerful leg, and Ye Liusu pushed herself up, gripping the hilt of the dagger and stabbing viciously into Li Qingshan’s right eye.
Li Qingshan wanted to repeat the same trick and grab her hand, but he grabbed nothing. It was a feint.
On the narrow stone platform, Ye Liusu turned into a shadow, circling around Li Qingshan rapidly. Li Qingshan remained exactly where he was, only swinging his ice blade around, parrying every one of her assassination attempts. Just inches apart, flashes of the weapons filled every gap between the two of them, but there were no sounds of collisions.
Ye Liusu pushed her nimble, mysterious dagger style to the limit, targeting Li Qingshan’s vital points with every attack.
Suddenly, the curved dagger spat out a crescent light. It looped around the ice blade along a strange trajectory, arriving behind him and swinging towards his back like a hook.
“Soul Stealer!” Just as the name suggested, who knew how many lives she had stolen with this battle skill. Even those almost as strong as her would die to this attack.
With an elongated clang, the ice blade slanted behind Li Qingshan’s back, blocking the tip of the curved dagger; this demonstrated that their strength was not even close.
Ye Liusu slid to the edge of the bed like a ghost, heaving slightly as she stared at Li Qingshan. He was just too powerful. Not only was his strength completely one-sided, but his reactions actually surpassed her too. Was he really a Daemon General who had just undergone a heavenly tribulation?
“So close!” Li Qingshan checked the ice blade and found a tiny nick. He stroked it with his hand, and the blade recovered.
This battle was not for slaughter or for revenge, so there was no reason for him to kill with a single stroke. Ye Liusu’s abilities were extraordinary. She could assist him in breaking through to the third layer of the tiger demon through battle.
