Chapter 138: The Rascal Young Master, the Demon Arm Blocking the Blue Blade Sky Sword

Everyone has their own value and a shining point. As for his value, I think… it shouldn’t be judged by his status. Even this rascal, Young Master Su, I believe has his worth.
Su continued, “That ‘god’ was right behind me just now, stirring up the wind and even sending a little demon to scare me.”
As he spoke, a voice in Su’s mind said, “You better think carefully. I am the demon god of the Nine Netherworlds, while they are called the righteous. If you claim to have met me, I doubt they will let you go.”
It was the Nine Netherworlds Demon God fused with Su. It seemed he was also afraid of being discovered by Li Ling and the others inside Su’s body. After all, if Su didn’t resist, defeating those three wouldn’t be difficult for the demon god. But now, Su also controlled this body. Without understanding its thoughts, the demon god wouldn’t act—otherwise, he’d only alert them. Perhaps this was the demon god’s tragedy: trapped in this body by his own prophecy, unable to act as he wished.
Li Ling seemed interested in Su’s words and smiled slightly. “Please tell us, Young Master Su, what kind of little demon you encountered.”
Su’s eyes flickered. Hearing the demon god’s words, he had to think. Though he couldn’t trust that old ghost’s words, he couldn’t ignore them either. To be safe, Su changed his story, chuckled, looked up, and said, “It’s right beside you—that blue-eyed little demon.”
For a moment, he couldn’t think of a good excuse, so he had to use Blue Blade as a scapegoat.
But Blue Blade wasn’t an ordinary girl. Her willful temper wouldn’t allow her to tolerate being insulted repeatedly by this rascal young master—called a fox spirit and a little demon. She was already furious. Raising her right hand, she unleashed a white blade strike while cursing, “I’ll chop you down today to show you what a real little demon is!”
The massive blade instantly appeared above Su’s head. Due to Blue Blade’s sudden move, Li Ling, who was nearby, never expected her to be so violent—changing mood in an instant and actually swinging the blade. After all, Blue Blade’s swordsmanship was extremely skilled. Though Li Ling was better than her, he wasn’t prepared for this sudden attack and had no time to stop her. It seemed the young man in green was about to be sliced by the blade…
Just then, a green light flashed in Su’s eyes. His left arm rapidly transformed from palm to shoulder into a black shadow, with fingers like iron hooks. It was raised swiftly. The moment the black left arm touched the white blade, a “bang” sound echoed—the clash of weapons!
With Su’s block, Blue Blade was forced back three steps, swaying before barely stabilizing. Looking at Su’s arm, it quickly reverted from shoulder to palm, the black shadow disappearing and returning to its normal state…

It was then that Su Shao seemed to realize what was happening. He stepped back again, quickly drew out the rusty axe behind him, assumed a monkey-playing stance, and said, “Damn it, you little bitch! You’re so heartless—how could you attack without saying anything? Luckily, I’ve trained before; otherwise, you would’ve really split me in two.”

Wow, in just a short while, Su Shao’s way of addressing Blue Blade had changed three times. And it was the Nine Nether Demon God who had helped him earlier; otherwise, with his silly monkey-like movements, he probably wouldn’t even know how he died. Don’t get it wrong—if Su Shao had been split in two, the Nine Nether Demon God would also die. So this wasn’t out of sudden kindness on the part of the Nine Nether Demon God; it was purely for his own benefit.

Li Ling was stunned. She thought this rascal boy would definitely be split in two by Blue Blade’s demonic sword, but unexpectedly, he easily dodged it with just one arm and even pushed Blue Blade back three steps. Judging from the boy’s reaction speed and the severity of his attacks, this rascal’s cultivation level was definitely not lower than hers… But who was he? She had never heard of such a person in the martial world, and the move he used just now was also something she had never seen before.

While Li Ling was thinking, Blue Blade became angry and said, “You brat, you’ve got some skills! I must slice you apart today!” In that moment, Blue Blade’s willful temper flared up, and she really wanted to kill this boy in front of her.

Su Shao fiddled with the rusty axe in his hand, letting out a series of strange noises, and continued, “Little bitch, don’t blame me for not warning you. I was holding back just now. If you do this again, don’t blame me for not being gentle.” What was Su Shao’s strongest skill? Needless to say, it was deception; otherwise, the Nine Nether Demon God wouldn’t have risked his thousands of years of cultivation for him.

Deceived by this rascal, Blue Blade was stunned. She was a shrewd girl. From their earlier fight, she could clearly see that this rascal was far more skilled than her. If she had attacked again, she probably wouldn’t have been able to cut through him…

At that moment, the talented girl from behind stepped forward and said, “Sister Blue, enough. Stop fighting. We’re here in this ghost city to look for traces of the Nine Nether Demon God together with Brother Ling. I don’t think he’s a bad person. Let’s spare him.” During the last crisis caused by the Nine Nether Demon God, the two girls worked together, crossing mountains and seas, and became closest friends.

Su Shao raised his head, adopted an exaggerated looking-up posture, opened his mouth wide, and drooled as he said, “Fairy…”

Blue Blade glared at Su Shao’s pig-like appearance and snapped, “Hmph! I’ll spare you once today.” She knew that if they continued fighting, she would be the one to lose face. Thankfully, the talented girl stepped in; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to defeat this rascal, and her reputation would have been completely ruined.

Su Shao shook his head and shrugged, saying, “It doesn’t matter. If you want to fight, I’m ready anytime.” Su Shao had no idea that he had already been pulled back from the brink of death by the Nine Nether Demon God. But it was fine. This silly boy, who didn’t even know how high the sky or how thick the earth was, had now turned a world-destroying demon god into his guardian. It was hard to tell whether his future would bring fortune or disaster.

At that moment, Li Ling seemed to have discovered something and quickly walked toward the middle of the street ahead…

Everyone looked in that direction. Yes, there indeed was something there—a white glow, with a white essence shining on a piece of wood. Under the silver moonlight, it would be hard to notice anything amiss if one didn’t look closely…
Blue Blade followed Tianjiao over, and Su Shao also ran over out of curiosity.
There, standing there, was Li Ling, holding an arrow that emitted a white glow—precisely the divine arrow that Liu Yi had used to seal the Nine Nether Demon God. Tianjiao and Blue Blade’s eyes widened even further. Blue Blade was the first to speak, “This… isn’t it the divine arrow used to seal the Nine Nether Demon God?”
Li Ling nodded, his expression serious. “Yes. If the Nine Nether Demon God is asleep or simply threatens this world with destruction, that’s not so terrifying, because it’s in the open, and we can still try to seal him again. But seeing this arrow now makes me even more worried.”
Tianjiao asked doubtfully, “Why?”
Blue Blade’s beautiful blue eyes shifted as he replied, “The fact that we see this arrow proves that the Nine Nether Demon God was never truly sealed by Liu Yi. If that were the case, why would Fengdu Ghost City suddenly become quiet? And where has the Nine Nether Demon God gone? One thing is certain—he has broken through the seal of Fengdu Ghost City. Now he’s completely hidden in the shadows. You see, that’s when he’s most dangerous. We’ve lost any chance of sealing him again. And the worst part isn’t death itself, but the process. I think the Nine Nether Demon God might be planning that process right now…”
Listening to the three of them talk, Young Master Su was shocked. He thought to himself, “Damn it, so this old ghost is so powerful. It seems I, Young Master Su, am really unlucky this time.”
