Chapter 995: Humiliation (Please Subscribe)_1

Feeling a sharp pain on her cheek, Zhou Qingruo couldn't help but frown...

Qin Yumo happened to catch this gesture and a thought surfaced in her mind...

Walking unhurriedly to Zhou Qingruo, she extended her hand to gently caress that cheek smeared with crimson blood, saying affectionately, "My dear teacher, your face is truly beautiful, not having aged a bit over all these years. Tell me, wouldn't it be interesting to mar it beyond recognition!"

A deep loathing surged in Zhou Qingruo's ice-blue eyes as she said coldly, "Don't touch me with your hands! Disgusting!"

Contact with those who colluded with demon cultivators only filled her with utter revulsion!

Upon hearing these words, Qin Yumo's enchanting eyes suddenly turned colder, and she slapped Zhou Qingruo fiercely...

A crisp "smack!" resounded, leaving a light palm print on Zhou Qingruo's cheek...

She coughed hoarsely a few times, "cough cough..."

Then, Qin Yumo coldly said again, "What I can't stand the most is your superior attitude. You are no longer my teacher now, just an animal that can be killed easily, understand?"

Even her palm was stained with a few strands of fresh blood...

Zhou Qingruo suddenly laughed, the smile bitterly self-deprecating...

She looked earnestly at her former disciple and said seriously, "In my life, Zhou Qingruo has done nothing of which to be ashamed, except for one mistake..."

"That was taking in a person not even worthy of being called trash as my disciple!"

Qin Yumo shouted angrily, "You..."

But then, the slap did not come down, hanging in the air instead...

Seeing this, Zhou Qingruo mocked, "What's the matter? Can't bring yourself to do it now?"

Involuntarily taking a deep breath, Qin Yumo huffed coldly, "Cherish your last moments!"

...

And as Qin Yumo kept heaping insults on the immobile Zhou Qingruo, the demon cultivators displayed smiles of successful conspiracy...

One of the demon cultivators sneered, "Within the formation that we collectively cast, no matter how capable Zhou Qingruo is, it's impossible for her to muster even a trace of spiritual power!"

Another demon cultivator chimed in, "Once Zhou Qingruo's spiritual power is completely devoured by the formation, we can eradicate her soul too! Otherwise, she might escape the moment the formation breaks!"

"What a touching display of teacher-student affection, hahaha!!"

"Stop laughing! Where is that kid who just attacked us?"

This statement instantly solidified the smiles on the demon cultivators' faces...

Right, that kid from before, how dare he launch a sneak attack while they were sustaining the formation, such a violation of the martial code!

They had to find him and torment him to death, then imprison his soul for thousands of years to satisfy their anger!!

Immediately, their gaze shifted in the direction of the attacking sword qi...

Sure enough, even without sensing Xu Sheng's presence, their sights locked onto him in an instant...

Feeling the scrutiny, Xu Sheng inwardly exclaimed, "Damn! I've been spotted!"

Currently, he couldn't even confront an Elder of the Blood Lotus Sect from the Daluo Jinxian Realm, let alone deal with so many demon cultivators at once!

With this thought, he decisively turned and started to flee at high speed...

However, how could these demon cultivators let Xu Sheng leave unscathed when they saw his intent, all of them unleashing terrifying speed to pursue...

"Thinking of escaping?" he barked coldly, "Don't even ask if we agree!"

"Just now, you had the gall to make a move against us, yet now you run like a dog that's lost its home!"

"Boy, don't even think about escaping. Today, we will turn you into a puppet! We'll make your soul suffer for a lifetime!"

In the blink of an eye, the demon cultivators who had suddenly caught up sealed off the retreat, completely surrounding Xu Sheng...

Xu Sheng, trapped in the middle, looked a bit more solemn and thought to himself, "I'm surrounded, huh..."

Immediately afterward, he managed a forced smile and said, "Elders, I think you may be mistaken. I don't have a trace of Spiritual Power in my body, how could I possibly have launched an attack on you?"

The demon cultivators, upon hearing this, all narrowed their eyes and began to sense Xu Sheng's cultivation level...

When they utterly failed to detect any Spirit Force Fluctuation, they exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? This kid really doesn't have any Spiritual Power. He seems to be just an ordinary person!"

"How is this possible! In Central State, only cultivators above the Earth Immortal Realm are allowed to enter. This guy..."

"That's right, if he had not reached the Earth Immortal Realm, he shouldn't have been able to come here. Are you hiding your cultivation level, boy?"

With those words, they all stared at Xu Sheng with cold eyes, waiting for his answer...

As for why they didn't just take action immediately, they all had cultivation levels above the Daluo Golden Immortal—so they figured this kid couldn't escape the palm of their hands!

What's a few more minutes of life for him?

Xu Sheng pursed his lips and spoke as calmly as possible, "Elders are joking. With your tremendous strength, how could I possibly have hidden my cultivation level!"

Why haven't the Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect arrived yet? If this drags on, not to mention rescuing Zhou Qingruo, who is bound on the other side—

Even my own life will be at risk!

Hearing Xu Sheng's explanation, the faces of the demon cultivators brimmed with smug satisfaction...

But in the next moment, the tone of one of the demon cultivators suddenly changed and he said coldly, "You speak smoothly, but sadly, that won't save you. You must die here today! Tear him apart!"

All the things they and Qin Yumo had done must not get out; otherwise, they'd probably have to look for another sanctuary!

As the words fell, the demon cultivators, filled with intense killing intent, charged toward Xu Sheng...

Just as Xu Sheng was preparing to fight back, a buzzing sound came from behind, and countless sharp Sword Qi began sweeping over from afar...

The demon cultivators immediately stopped their attack on Xu Sheng and backed away to evade the onslaught of Sword Qi...

Afterward, they glared toward Xu Sheng's rear and shouted, "Who is it? Who dares to hinder us!"

No sooner had their words fallen when a voice ringed out in mockery, "Picking on an opponent of the Golden Immortal Realm, aren't you all a bit shameless?"

The speaker was none other than the Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect, as they emerged from behind Xu Sheng...

Xu Sheng darted them a glance with his ink-colored eyes, "Have you caught up?"

The leading demon cultivator narrowed his eyes at the newcomers and said, "Oh? You've broken free from control? But what of it? Your master is about to perish!"

At this utterance, the female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect had a sinking feeling and instinctively looked toward the center of the area...

When they saw the bound Zhou Qingruo and Qin Yumo standing before her, a tightness gripped their hearts...

Indeed… something had gone wrong!
