1084: Chapter 1084: My Na, Shuten-dōji 1084: Chapter 1084: My Na, Shuten-dōji Although Su Chengyu still hadn’t grasped what was happening, the Heaven-nding Stone’s urgent tone made him dare not to be careless.
Instantly sitting cross-legged, he condensed all his focus, rely allowing the Dragon Slayer Sword to fly out and protect him, no longer paying attention to whatever was happening in the hall.
The Empress of Liuli watched the sudden change before her with a tight frown, montarily unable to understand the situation.
She attempted to step forward, but after taking just one step, the tip of the Dragon Slayer Sword imdiately pointed at her.
Already seriously injured, the Empress of Liuli imdiately halted, not daring to move even half a step further.
Though the Empress of Liuli didn’t dare to approach, she beca certain of one thing: Su Chengyu was clearly not in control of his own actions at the mont.
Escape?
That was the first thought to flash through the mind of the Empress of Liuli, which she imdiately rejected.
Even if she truly could escape, it was highly likely that Su Chengyu, with his origins in the Demon Slayer Departnt, would not let her off.
The Empress of Liuli, although she had previously underestimated Su Chengyu, had never underestimated the Demon Slayer Departnt.
Otherwise, she would not have rather killed the wrong person than let go, making a last-ditch effort to ensure that Su Chengyu’s life stayed within Liuli Country.
Now with an opportunity to catch her breath, the Empress of Liuli made a decisive move to take out a fragnt of Liuli that she had concealed close to her chest.
After crushing it, a crimson aura dispersed throughout the hall, rushing straight to the very top of the Liuli Golden Palace.
Chiyomiko, who was in the midst of a breakthrough, furrowed her brows, while the Empress of Liuli’s gaze was also cast towards her.
“Chiyomiko, I’ve already notified that person.
If you stop now, I can still give you a chance,”
Chiyomiko, who had already gambled everything, rely smiled faintly and continued with her eyes closed, “Then Your Majesty, are you willing to give Liuli Country another chance?”
“Chiyomiko!
Don’t push your luck!
Haven’t I told you, I have no choice either?
If I could beco human, don’t you think I would want to?”
“The world is vast, there will surely be a way for a Demon Man to turn back into a normal human.”
“Why don’t you tell that to the Demon Slayer Departnt!
Would they help find a way?”
Chiyomiko fell silent; she knew the Demon Slayer Departnt, once they knew of the Empress of Liuli’s identity as a Demon Man, would pursue her to the ends of the earth.
The Empress of Liuli scoffed, continuing, “It seems you understand as well, hence he must die!
Knowing such secrets about Liuli Country, he must die here!
That so-called Dragon Slayer, and the Immortal Artifact on him, should all belong to our Liuli Country!”
Chiyomiko slowly shook her head.
There were rely twelve Immortal Artifacts in the world, with likely less than ten having actually appeared.
How could Liuli Country possess the national power to wield such level of Magic Artifacts?
The Empress of Liuli couldn’t possibly be ignorant of such reason, yet still wanting to claim the Immortal Artifact for herself, Chiyomiko could only believe that the nature of a Demon Man had amplified the Empress’s inner greed.
“No wonder they say, a Demon ruling the country will not last long.”
“Shut your mouth!
Once that person gathers the Emperor’s Six Treasures and transforms into a True Dragon, then we’ll see—who among Xia Country, Dongying Country, would dare to treat Liuli Country with contempt!”
“Well said.”
With the words of the Empress of Liuli falling, in the skies above, a lean man carrying a wine flask around his waist slowly descended.
Seeing the figure that had appeared so abruptly, Chiyomiko’s expression instantly tensed, daring not to even draw a heavy breath.
Upon seeing the lean man, eyes filled with infatuation, the Empress of Liuli imdiately flew to the side of the man, clinging tightly to him.
The man glanced at the Empress of Liuli and then gently made a move.
The wounds on her body began to heal instantly, even the cuts left by the Dragon Slayer Sword were rapidly regenerating.
Soon, no wounds could be seen at all.
“Liuli, you’ve worked hard.”
“It is not hard working for my lord.”
At this mont, the Empress of Liuli bore none of the deanor of a ruler, completely resembling a woman of the mortal world, her body shalessly pressing against the man, as if she wished they could rge into one.
The man seed to be accustod to the Empress of Liuli’s deanor, and spoke softly, “Once I have dealt with these fools ignorant of their own mortality, I will reward you handsoly.”
“Thank you, my lord.”
The man nodded and then turned to look at Chiyomiko, observing the countless Imperial Currency above her, and spoke softly, “Chiyomiko, why bother with this?
When did I say you couldn’t beco a Servant of God Witch?
If you want, I can even give you a status higher than Liuli’s.”
In the world of cultivators, strength reigns supre, whether it’s martial artists, the Demon Clan, or cultivators alike, the stronger one’s power, the higher the status they can attain.
In the man’s eyes, Chiyomiko, who had cultivated herself into a Servant of God Witch, was worth far more than the Empress of Liuli.
However, Chiyomiko was not at all moved, “To associate with the Demon Clan as a witch, do you not find such words laughable, sir?”
“Laughable?
In our holand, it’s not uncommon for witches to have connections with the Demon Clan.
In my youth, I tasted many a witch, and to tell the truth, they weren’t bad at all,”
A sinister grin spread across the man’s face.
His words were veiled, but Chiyomiko clearly understood the vile matters he was alluding to.
“That’s why the True Dragon Shrine broke away from Dongying and allowed the Liuli Royal Family to establish an independent nation.”
After speaking, Chiyomiko slowly stood up, with the golden light surrounding her converging.
At this mont, Chiyomiko was truly a Servant of God Witch.
The man, watching this scene, could hardly conceal his envy, comnting, “In terms of breakthroughs, the witch lineage really does inspire envy.
Not to ntion our Demon Clan and cultivators, even martial artists face divine tribulation at this level of breakthrough.
You, on the other hand, skip it entirely.
But tell , Chiyomiko, do you know why I watched you grow without ever intending to lay a hand on you?”
Chiyomiko narrowed her eyes, “I know that even if I beca a Servant of God Witch, I would still be no match for you.”
The lean man chuckled in surprise, “Oh?
You actually know of my strength?
Have you investigated ?
Then tell , what else do you know about ?”
Chiyomiko took a deep breath, “Indeed, I have investigated for so ti.
But apart from knowing that you have connections with the legendary Demon God Yamata no Orochi, I have not found out much else.”
The man smiled faintly, took out a wine flask from his waist, and took a drink, seemingly reminiscing about the past.
“Not bad, even in Dongying, few know this fact.
Since you are determined to face death, I will let you and that fellow who entered the Realm of Selflessness die with a clearer understanding.
My na is Shuten-dōji, son of Yamata.”
As the man’s words dropped, even the Empress of Liuli beside him cast a disbelieving gaze.
Shuten-dōji looked at the Empress of Liuli with a wry smile and softly said, “How surprising?
Did you really not expect that such a Great Demon would co to your Liuli Country?”
The Empress of Liuli blinked, nodding, but dared not speak, clearly intimidated by the man’s identity.
“Every family has its own troubles, and as the offspring of a significant figure, there are always inconvenient matters to deal with, wouldn’t you agree?”
