The Wish to Slay Evil (Continued)

Li Ban tremblingly reached out his hand, as if to ask him to stay, and said in an excited tone, "You really are..."

It's your mother!

Si Ming flew over and punched Li Ban in the face. The air exploded with a loud bang, breaking through the protective Gang Qi and sending Li Ban flying.

"Hey, isn't this a bit inappropriate to make a move now?" Si Huaruo couldn't help but say, "Shouldn't we wait for the two of them to reveal the inside story?"

"What inside stories? It's nothing but the usual tales of chivalry, love, and hate. I have absolutely no interest in that! Since we're on the battlefield, if you expose a weakness, don't blame the enemy for being ruthless. I can't exactly leave him with a flashback episode, can I? If you're so capable, why don't you chat while you're fighting? Are you trying to gain sympathy by striking that melodramatic pose?"

As he spoke, Si Ming unleashed a Mighty Vajra Palm Li Ban at Li Ban, the force of which howled wildly and solidified into a wall of energy.

Li Ban hurriedly wielded the Blood Dragon Halberd to defend, but after only one block, his tiger's mouth was already torn open, his Qi and Blood and qi were boiling, and the Blood Dragon Halberd was almost knocked out of his hand. He quickly jumped back to create distance.

But how could Si Ming let this mastermind escape, especially since the other party was the key to fulfilling "Wu Ming's " wish? Immediately, he stepped into the Carefree Wandering Steps, pressed forward, and struck out with a palm. At the same time, his body moved with the palm, like a thunderbolt shuttling through the air. While he was in the middle, he struck out with another palm. Before the force of the first palm had dissipated, the force of the second palm arrived, palm after palm overlapping.

Li Ban managed to block the first palm strike, but ultimately his strength was exhausted, and he could no longer hold on. He was left wide open by the impact, and his Blood Dragon Halberd was flung into the air. He took a solid hit to his chest from the second palm strike that followed. His True Qi shattered with a bang, splashing out like water droplets, but then gathering back together like tadpoles.

Fortunately, this barrier weakened the force of the palm strike, and Li Ban was not nearly killed by the blow. He only broke three ribs and was sent flying, coughing up blood. However, he already knew how powerful Si Ming was, and he was too exhausted to fight any longer, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Before leaving, Li Ban glanced at "Liu Qingqing" with reluctance, then spat out a mouthful of blood at Si Huaruo, forcing Si Ming to turn around and save her. He then took the opportunity to use Blood Escape, transforming into a streak of blood light, and quickly escaped with the Blood Dragon Halberd, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Si Ming did not give chase. Although he was a step ahead of Li Ban Spirit Transformation, if Li Ban was determined to escape, it would be difficult for him to stop him.

"Strange, I clearly broke through his True Qi before, so how did it reappear later?"

Hiding to the side, not daring to interfere in the battle between Grandmaster, Duan Jinsu said, "This is Blood Flow Gang Qi, a True Qi that can continuously recover and regenerate. Rather than blocking all attacks with powerful defense, Blood Flow Gang Qi focuses more on continuous weakening, making it a flexible Gang Qi."

Si Ming nodded, then looked at Yuezheng Yao and said, "You should have joined forces with me to attack the enemy from both sides. That way, we might have been able to capture them."

Yuezheng Yao said, "Your battle ended so quickly that I didn't have time to intervene. Besides, the timing of your attack was too sudden. Shouldn't you have politely waited for the other party to finish speaking?"

Si Ming sighed, "They're enemies now, why bother with politeness? Even if you want to know the inside story, you can capture them, beat them half to death, and force them to confess. There's no need to be polite with them. You're still too young and lack practical experience."

Yuezheng Yao couldn't help but mutter, "I'm clearly older than you," but ultimately she knew she was in the wrong and didn't say it aloud.

Then, Si Ming turned to Wu Ming and asked, "And you, why didn't you make a move? Are you also so engrossed in acting that you can't extricate yourself? Do you really want this Blood Abyss Sect Master dead?"

The other party's response was—to return their body to Liu Qingqing.

This guy is definitely suspicious!

Si Ming was furious, but he was powerless to do anything about it. After all, it was Liu Qingqing's body, and he couldn't resort to underhanded methods.

After Li Ban, the number one expert of the Evil Dao, left, the others dared not stay any longer. Especially after witnessing the battle between Si Ming and the Beast King Anye, their courage was gone, and they had no intention of challenging him at all. They were afraid that they would be crushed to death by that hundred-foot-tall giant statue. The Beast King Anye could recover after being flattened by a punch, but they did not have such an ability. In the blink of an eye, they all fled.

It must be said that in terms of escape skills, the average level of masters of the Evil Dao is far superior to that of masters of the righteous path, because those who are slow to run often do not live long.

The disciples of the Evil-Slaying Sword Sect launched a counterattack, but they were exhausted and unable to expand their gains. After chasing for several miles, they were stopped by their elders to prevent them from falling into an ambush.

Thus, the Evil-Slaying Sword Sect finally survived its annihilation, and with all the enemies gone, the breakout attempt was pointless. After some discussion, the group decided to return to the Righteous Qi Palace.

Wan Yebai first announced the victory and the defeat of the enemy, leaving the subsequent arrangements for treating the wounded to his son and several elders. Only at the end did he personally come to receive the benefactors who had turned the tide of the battle.

"... So you're the leader of the Heavenly Martial Alliance, the Sick Young Master Sima Liang?"

Unsurprisingly, Wan Yebai also showed a "you're kidding me" expression. Although he was completely focused on the battle with Li Ban and had no time to pay attention to anything else, the accounts of the battle between Gods and Devils from the disciples and the remaining tunnels on Righteous Qi Peak were enough to explain everything.

Si Ming, having already observed the others' surprise, explained, "Since it's an illness, of course it can be cured. He was injured at the time, which is why he gave the impression of Sick Young Master."

"Who possesses such ability to harm the Alliance Leader?"

"The Purple-Pupiled Spirit King."

In fact, Si Ming's strength back then was completely different from his current strength. If the same situation happened again, he would at most suffer minor injuries, and after resting for two days, he would be lively and energetic again.

"No wonder..." Wan Yebai's expression suddenly dawned on him. "In this world, probably only the Alliance Leader has ever fought against two King of Monsters. In the Alliance Leader's opinion, who is stronger?"

"In terms of cultivation, the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King is slightly superior; in terms of cunning, the Beast King Anye is more difficult to deal with."

Wan Yebai sighed, "The Beast King Anye a lone wolf, acting as he pleases, and has no trusted lieutenants. Therefore, our sect has had several successful attempts to ambush and kill him in the past. However, as the King of Monsters, he possesses an immortal body and can be resurrected after being killed. His feud with our sect has lasted for hundreds of years and has never ended. Moreover, I have always suspected that he may be holding back a trump card because of his ability to resurrect, and he would rather be killed by us than let it slip away."

Si Ming, "From what I understand, the Monster Race also has emotions and desires, even stronger than ordinary people. Although there are those who are completely opposite and ascetic, this Beast King obviously does not belong to this category. Have you never thought of finding his offspring, raising them to adulthood, and then destroying him?"

"Our sect once devised a plan to make the Beast King Anye give birth to a blood relative, but this monster is cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive by nature. He will not show mercy just because the other party is his offspring. He will eliminate any dangerous element to ensure his own absolute safety. There was even one fish that escaped the net, but it was eliminated before it could grow up. However, after that incident, the Beast King Anye became even more extreme. He would kill any person of the opposite sex with whom he had sexual relations, while people of the same sex would be spared."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Si Ming's expression turned somewhat strange, but he didn't dwell on it too much. In ancient times, the practice of pederasty was a trend, though not mainstream, it wasn't uncommon either. Moreover, pederasty was mostly depicted as boys who looked like women, a style completely different from the masculine homosexuality of modern society. It's roughly the difference between shoujo manga and Hong Kong comics; the former draws a woman and insists she's a man, while the latter draws everything as a tough guy, with every line on his body hard and masculine.

"It seems that completely eliminating the Beast King Anye is a slim hope; a long-term plan is needed."

Si Ming thought to himself that it was fortunate the female ghost's wish was to kill the Blood Abyss Sect Master, not the Beast King Anye; otherwise, he wouldn't know how to proceed. He couldn't very well secretly collect her DNA and then use it for in vitro fertilization, could he?

This method is not only time-consuming, but the test-tube babies produced may not even be strong enough to fight the Beast King Anye. Even if they only need to perform the final finishing blow, if they can't even get close to the Beast King Anye, everything else is a joke.

Wan Yebai sighed, "Given our sect's current predicament, we can no longer consider completely killing the Beast King Anye. We're fortunate that it didn't take advantage of our weakness to kick us while we're down."

Si Ming, "Didn't this guy see you as an interesting opponent and want to keep fighting? If that's the case, he won't come knocking on our door again."

Wan Yebai: "The Beast King is fickle and capricious. Promises are just words he says and forgets. He might call you brother today, but he might turn his back on you tomorrow. No one can guess what he's thinking. Therefore, I have a favor to ask: I hope the Alliance Leader can kill it. Only the Alliance Leader has the ability to do this."

Once the Beast King Anye dies, even if he can be resurrected, based on past experience, it will take at least ten years. Ten years is enough time for the Evil-Slaying Sword Sect to cultivate the next generation of young disciples.

But why did Si Ming agree?

The Beast King Anye was exceptionally powerful; even Si Ming wasn't confident of winning a one-on-one fight, let alone killing it. Although it was inferior to the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, Si Ming didn't consider who the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King was the strongest Si Ming had ever encountered. Back then, it took a great deal of effort and the help of the century-long plan of the Glazed Temple to finally succeed. Si Ming really didn't want to face another enemy of the same level again; that would be risking his life.

Five years from now, perhaps we can consider it; Si Ming is quite confident in his growth rate.

Moreover, the Beast King Anye is different from the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King. The latter has the ambition to unify the world and is a ruthless hero. If he is not stopped, the humans of the Barbarian Continent will be doomed. Even for his own sake, Si Ming has to stand up. But the Beast King Anye is all alone and is a lone bandit. Even if he commits many evils and wreaks havoc in all directions, his influence is limited.
