Each with Their Own Agenda
Cheng Family Alchemy Room, an underground cave.
Just as Zuo Shuiyun reached the cave exit, she saw a flying sword slashing towards Cheng Ruidá behind her.
Immediately afterwards, Song Wen's figure also appeared at the entrance of the underground cave.
"Junior Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?" Zuo Shuiyun exclaimed in surprise.
"Cheng Ruidá's act of raising Blood Demon with his own family is a violation of humanity and an outrage against all reason; he also kidnapped a sect elder to help him refine an evil pill, and his crimes deserve to be punished; now is the best time to kill him."
Song Wen had an air of righteous indignation and hatred for evil.
The Blood Demon was able to escape because of the Sacred Beetle Gu lurking in the underground cave. The Sacred Beetle Gu secretly pulled out the Demon-Sealing Nails that had trapped the Blood Demon.
Zuo Shuiyun looked shocked.
She wasn't surprised; she already had some idea that Cheng Ruidá was raising Blood Demon with his own family.
Instead, they were surprised that Song Wen dared to lay a hand on Cheng Ruidá.
"Where did Cheng Han go?" Zuo Shuiyun asked.
While controlling his flying sword to assist the Blood Demon in attacking Cheng Ruidá, Song Wen replied.
"Cheng Han has already been ambushed and killed by me. The matter of Cheng Ruidá raising Blood Demon was mentioned by Cheng Han himself before his death."
"Senior Sister Zuo, don't hesitate any longer. Now is the best time to kill Cheng Ruidá. Otherwise, once he defeats the Blood Demon and is free to deal with him, the two of us will also be doomed."
Zuo Shuiyun turned around and looked at Cheng Ruidá.
The Blood Demon Movement Method with agility, his figure shifting and leaping like a ghost, unpredictable and elusive.
Although Blood Demon was injured, Cheng Ruidá Blood Demon Movement Method and the help of Song Wen's flying sword.
Cheng Ruidá had just led the refining of the Blood Puppet Spirit-Refining Pill, which had greatly depleted his spiritual power and mental strength, so his current condition was not very good.
Moreover, due to the limited space of the underground cave, he was unable to create distance from the Blood Demon and was forced to engage in close combat. This allowed the Blood Demon's expertise in close combat to be fully utilized.
Zuo Shuiyun gritted her teeth, summoned her flying sword, and charged towards Cheng Ruidá.
With two flying swords providing support, the Blood Demon thrived, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce.
Cheng Ruidá, on the other hand, was somewhat stretched thin and could only adopt a defensive posture.
He knew he couldn't continue like this, otherwise he would be defeated by exhausting his spiritual energy.
Cheng Ruidá, holding his sword in his right hand, cleaved Zuo Shuiyun's flying sword in two.
At the same time, he slightly shifted his body, skillfully dodging the Blood Demon's claws.
However, the crimson energy emanating from his claws still left three deep, bone-revealing wounds on his left shoulder.
Suddenly, a short knife appeared in Cheng Ruidá's left hand. As the Blood Demon brushed past him, he plunged the knife into the Blood Demon's waist and abdomen.
The dagger pierced his body, and its sharp energy raged within the Blood Demon's body.
Its Movement Method were disrupted, its body lost control, and after rushing several feet, it crashed heavily to the ground.
Cheng Ruidá sacrificed himself to temporarily incapacitate the Blood Demon.
Just then, Song Wen's flying sword arrived.
The flying sword, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, caught Cheng Ruidá off guard and stabbed him in the back of the heart.
Cheng Ruidá shocked, but time was too short to activate his defensive Spirit Artifact. He could only circulate his spiritual power to create a spiritual power shield.
Before the spiritual energy shield could be fully formed, the flying sword behind him suddenly accelerated.
Oh no! This person has been hiding their true strength!
The thought flashed through Cheng Ruidá's mind.
Then, I felt a sharp pain in my back.
The flying sword pierced through his body and flew out in front of him.
Cheng Ruidá was propelled forward by the force of the flying sword.
Before he could land, Zuo Shuiyun's flying sword slashed down again.
The sword light flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Cheng Ruidá was beheaded with a single sword stroke.
Song Wen leaped up and landed beside Cheng Ruidá.
At the same time, Zuo Shuiyun's figure also turned into a blur and approached.
However, she stopped beside the Blood Demon.
Cheng Ruidá's dagger pierced the Blood Demon's body completely, causing the already injured Blood Demon to suffer further injuries and bringing it close to death.
But upon seeing Cheng Ruidá beheaded, a human-like sense of vengeful pleasure appeared in the Blood Demon's blood-red eyes.
It endured unimaginable suffering during the process of being transformed into Blood Demon by Cheng Ruidá's Blood Curse Technique.
When it first became Blood Demon, it was confused and ignorant, and all its actions were driven by instinct.
The pursuit and devouring of the Cheng Lineage members were all influenced by the Blood Curse Technique, almost an instinct that was irresistible.
After reaching maturity, its intelligence began to grow rapidly, and it gradually realized that Cheng Ruidá was its greatest enemy.
Only after escaping did they launch a desperate attack on Cheng Ruidá.
Zuo Shuiyun channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the Blood Demon's body, helping it expel the short sword and residual sword energy from within.
Then, he took out two healing pills for spirit beasts and gave them to the Blood Demon, temporarily saving its life.
She then took the Demon-Sealing Nails that had fallen to the ground, put it in her hand, and pierced the Blood Demon's body, imprisoning the Blood Demon once again.
While Zuo Shuiyun was capturing the Blood Demon, Song Wen had already inspected Cheng Ruidá's storage ring.
He found a blood-red token among them.
This token is somewhat similar to the token of the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>, but it looks cruder and has no inscription on it.
Song Wen silently stored the blood-red token into his storage ring.
Zuo Shuiyun turned her head and saw that Song Wen was holding Cheng Ruidá's storage ring.
"Junior Brother Wu, everyone who sees this gets a share."
Song Wen looked up and stared at Zuo Shuiyun.
"So, Senior Sister Zuo, how do you think we should allocate them?"
"Naturally, it's between you and me."
Song Wen's gaze swept over the Blood Demon.
Zuo Shuiyun immediately began treating the Blood Demon; Song Wen knew perfectly well what the other party was up to.
Cheng Ruidá painstakingly cultivated the Blood Demon at the cost of sacrificing tens of thousands of his people, all in order to subdue the Blood Demon and make it his spirit beast.
Now that Cheng Ruidá is dead and the Blood Demon is seriously injured and captured, how could Zuo Shuiyun let go of such a great opportunity?
Coincidentally, she didn't have a spirit beast either.
"How should the Blood Demon be distributed?" Song Wen asked.
Zuo Shuiyun looked like she had suffered a great loss.
"The Blood Demon and Blood Puppet Spirit-Refining Pill are mine; the rest are yours."
Song Wen smiled faintly, "As Senior Sister says."
He took out the Blood Puppet Spirit-Refining Pill from his storage ring and tossed it to Zuo Shuiyun.
Then, he collected Cheng Ruidá's body and turned to rush towards the exit.
Upon exiting the cave, Song Wen discovered that Zuo Shuiyun had not followed him but was instead collecting the array that concealed her presence within the cave.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Song Wen used Binding Soul Technique to trap Cheng Ruidá's soul inside his head.
A moment later, Zuo Shuiyun, carrying the Blood Demon, came to Song Wen's side.
The two flew away on their swords, leaving the Cheng Family.
Half an hour later.
The two arrived at a high mountain hundreds of miles away from the Cheng Family.
On a cliff, two cave abode, several hundred meters apart, were temporarily carved out, and the two men each entered cave abode.
On the surface, the two were staying here to recuperate and restore their spiritual energy and mental state.
In reality, each person has their own agenda.
Song Wen intends to perform a soul search on Cheng Ruidá.
Zuo Shuiyun's purpose was to subdue the Blood Demon.
