"Divine Weapon! You're not kidding, are you? This is a bit of an exaggeration!" Li Changfeng said with a faint smile, his face full of disbelief.
"Hmph! Don't you believe me! How could an ordinary Treasure Weapon possibly enhance someone so weak that they could fight you to a standstill!" The Blood Demon Halberd trembled violently, roaring in fury.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "What you say makes sense, but you seem very strange. Could it be that the words I use are like that guy, some kind of incongruous existence!"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon's Blood Demon Halberd trembled with rage. He roared, "You... you look down on me so much? Fine, I'll leave then! You don't appreciate kindness! Weapons are meant to be used by the right people. If an evil piece of trash uses one, it will only become a grotesque mess!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng quickly reassured him, "Hey! Don't go! It's my fault! I was blind to your greatness! I couldn't see your strength!"
"Hmph! You know how powerful I am! I'm not someone just anyone can use. If Qiu Renyu hadn't brought me out of the Blood Cave, I wouldn't have acknowledged him as my master!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This Blood Demon Halberd is indeed formidable! Although it sounds impressive, I'm still a little wary of it. However, it's unlikely that I'll give up this treasure. It's a good opportunity to show it to my master!"
Suddenly, as if he had just thought of something, Li Changfeng quickly asked, "Blood Demon! There's something I don't understand. How did Qiu Renyu know my identity?"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon pondered for a moment, "I remember that Qiu Renyu suddenly received a piece of intelligence saying that you would come to kill him, so he knew your identity!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face darkened. The Qiu Renyu were from the Wind and Rain Pavilion. He never expected that the people of the Wind and Rain Pavilion would do something so damaging to their reputation. It seems that Wind and Rain Pavilion is just a place with an undeserved reputation.
"I will definitely avenge this!" Li Changfeng said grimly.
"And what about that Blood Cave?"
After a moment of contemplation, the Blood Demon slowly explained, "This Blood Cave was caused by the suppression of my creator. Back then, my master Blood Demon of Heavenly Weeping, was forcibly blasted apart by two powerful figures of the time, turning into a sky full of blood that spilled across this area!"
"Although my master was blasted apart, he has the ability to regenerate from a drop of blood. Those two powerful figures knew this, so they set up a powerful Buddhist formation to suppress my master and me inside, trying to refine us by force!"
"After hundreds of years of refinement, my master has long since perished. He even refined the demonic energy on my body, severely damaging my vitality and reducing my grade to the level of Treasure Weapon. However, that kid somehow learned that I had treasures here, so he took them out of me!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this. "I see! There's one last thing. Why does Qiu Renyu summon ordinary people to the Blood Cave every so often?"
"Oh! He used those people to practice his skills! To cultivate the Blood Demon Grand Art, you need living flesh and blood, so he brought them into the Blood Cave, killed them with the Blood Demon Halberd, and absorbed their flesh and blood!"
"So that's how it is! That guy's sins were quite grave. No wonder the merit I gained after killing him completely cleared away all the hidden resentment in my body, and even suppressed a lot of demonic energy!"
"Hehe! Master has done a great deed by killing this heinous fellow! Do you have any more questions, Master? If not, would you like to come with me to the Blood Cave to have your blood recognized as yours?"
Li Changfeng frowned upon hearing this. "Why should I go into the Blood Cave with you to establish the bond? Can't we do it here?"
"Master! You don't know this! Most of my weapon spirit is suppressed inside the Blood Cave. Right now, the Blood Demon Halberd only has one-tenth of my remnant soul, so it can't recognize me as its master at all. Therefore, I need you to enter the Blood Cave to complete this process!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "No rush! I have things to do right now, let's talk about it later. I'll take you somewhere first!"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon chuckled and said, "Hehe! That's alright. Master, if you want to truly unleash my power, you must acknowledge me as your master. Otherwise, my Blood Demon Halberd will only serve as a sturdy weapon and will be completely useless! By the way, where else do you want to take me, Master?"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "You'll find out when the time comes! Come with me now!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng didn't give it any chance to refute and directly put the Blood Demon Halberd into his Storage Ring.
Demon Heart was filled with gloom. "That damned brat is indeed cunning! He didn't fall for the trap and followed me into the Blood Cave. Hmph! I don't believe you won't be tempted by such a treasure. Sooner or later, you will definitely go to the Blood Cave!"
"Phew~ It's finally over. Looks like those three guys got away!"
Li Changfeng picked up the greatsword, preparing to leave. Just then, a large group of Brocade-Clad Guard suddenly rushed out and surrounded the area. Li Changfeng looked helpless and said, "Why am I so unlucky!"
Upon seeing Li Changfeng, the group of Brocade-Clad Guard immediately surrounded him and asked gravely, "Who are you! What are you doing here at Blood Demon Stronghold!"
Li Changfeng cupped his hands in greeting, "My lords! My name is Li Feng! I'm a bounty hunter! I just killed the Blood Demon Qiu Renyu and was about to leave to collect my bounty when I ran into you all!"
A Brocade-Clad Guard centurion scoffed upon hearing this, "You think you can kill Blood Demon Qiu Renyu? Don't be ridiculous. You say you killed him, but where is he? Where is he now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face twitched slightly, and he said awkwardly, "I've already turned Blood Demon Qiu Renyu into a bloody mist. You can see that pool of blood over there!"
"Hahaha! Don't tease me! You didn't hear the commotion just now and rushed over because you killed that Blood Demon Qiu Renyu, did you? Do you know that deceiving Imperial Court is a serious crime? Do you know your crime?" The commander of the Brocade-Clad Guard said in a serious voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a bitter smile. He simply didn't have the strength to fight these Brocade-Clad Guard anymore, so he could only explain, "I really killed Blood Demon Qiu Renyu! My lords!"
"How dare you! You dare to deceive Imperial Court! You are utterly audacious! Guards, seize him!" a commander of the Brocade-Clad Guard said in a deep voice.
Li Changfeng's face fell upon hearing this. "Looks like another big battle is about to begin!"
Suddenly, a faint laugh rang out from the sky, "Hehe! I didn't expect to see you here too, Li Changfeng!"
At this moment, a graceful figure slowly descended from the sky. This woman was none other than Princess Minmin. She was dressed as a man, wearing a red Flying Fish Uniform, and looked extremely heroic!
Upon hearing Li Changfeng's name, everyone was shocked and immediately stopped in their tracks, exclaiming in astonishment, "Li... Thousand-Household Officer Li!!"
