"This is my beloved sword, a gift from my senior brother!"

It was difficult for Li Guang to acquire Zhang Xuezhou's Deer-Slaying Blade.

Although the cutting of the bluestone in the Liang King's tomb caused the blade of the Deer-Slaying Blade to be pitted and uneven, it is still a fine knife.

This knife can be used to gut Flood Dragon Fish, and it's still effective for surprise attacks and assassinations.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he still needed the Deer-Slaying Blade for self-defense, which is why he was extremely resistant when Li Guang asked for the knife and repeatedly declined.

"I've relied on this knife for protection all these years," Zhang Xuezhou politely declined. "It's been with me through thick and thin, not only killing enemies for me but also digging pits for me, allowing me to escape danger time and time again!"

"Have you dug a pit?"

"I fell into the tomb and couldn't get out, so I used this knife to carve the stone, and that's how it turned out like this!"

Zhang Xuezhou explained the reason for the damage to the Deer-Slaying Blade, which made Li Guang sigh with regret.

But a chill ran through him.

If a knife represents misfortune, then the tomb Zhang Xuezhou mentioned seems more like a death warning.

Who can kill me? And why?

As Li Guang rode along, constantly memorizing the directions Zhang Xuezhou had given him, many thoughts swirled in his mind.

He does have weaknesses, but as long as he maintains a certain distance, he is the king of mid-to-long range combat.

If he were to use the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, there would be few in the world who could withstand its power.

Like Daojun, few people dare to provoke Li Guang. Even old demons like the Venerable One don't want to meet him and can only send their underlings to fight a war of attrition.

Whether it was an external enemy or an internal threat, Li Guang couldn't think of anyone who could kill him.

With several advanced techniques at his disposal, his keen senses and ability to engage in prolonged long-range combat are exceptional.

"It's a pity that the Xiang family was wiped out by Emperor Qin. If I had a great fortune teller to enlighten me, I wouldn't be so confused!"

Li Guang pondered all that was related to himself.

With a soft pull of the bowstring, he continued galloping, getting closer and closer to the Xieluosi River Holy Land mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou.

"Let's move on to another area. It used to be guarded by a Swan Demon, and then by a sky-piercing sparrow demon. But I'm not sure if the demon guarding it has changed. Please keep a close eye on it!"

After nearly a day of circling, Li Guang's mount drew ever closer to the Xieluosi River Holy Land.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could get this far.

The risk of him leading the way further is very high.

Li Guang killed one with one arrow. If he rushed into the Xieluosi River Holy Land and aimed at the great demon, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the deaths of a group of demons would inevitably trigger an investigation, and then it would very likely lead back to him.

With nearly six days remaining, Zhang Xuezhou felt confident that his Demon Power, combined with his constant travel day and night, would allow him to return to Shanggu County.

He really wanted to go to the Xieluosi River Holy Land to find Zou Bugui, but like Dong Zhongshu searching for Li Guang, it's easy to avoid the King of Hell, but troublesome underlings are hard to deal with.

More than 90% of the demons in the Xieluosi River Holy Land don't even know him. If he rashly enters the Sacred Land, he will definitely not encounter friendliness.

Li Guang is likely to cause trouble, which will lead to numerous problems.

Zhang Xuezhou only wanted to get out of there as soon as possible; he would deal with the rest later.

"I can only lead the way this far; leading them any further would easily lead to problems," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"What kind of leader would guide you to the destination but not to the end?" Li Guang said displeased.

"I only said I knew the way through the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and was willing to guide you, but I didn't say I would lead you into the Xieluosi River Holy Land," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "A master like you can come and go as you please, but an insignificant cultivator like me would be reduced to ashes if I got involved."

"You certainly know how to avoid risks!"

Li Guang's displeased expression could frighten many generals in the Northern Frontier Legion, but Zhang Xuezhou was not afraid of his change in expression; he simply reasoned with him with great patience.

Li Guang disliked listening to reason, but he still praised Zhang Xuezhou's sense of risk avoidance.

Cultivators who lack common sense die young, while Zhang Xuezhou left a distance of two mountain peaks, which can be considered a relatively safe buffer zone.

His gaze swept over Zhang Xuezhou's pouch, and he beckoned to him.

"Give me that dagger, and I'll consider your task of leading the way complete," Li Guang said. "Otherwise, you'll have to make a trip to the Xieluosi River Holy Land!"

"It seems you really like my knife!"

Zhang Xuezhou found it hard to understand why Li Guang was staring at his Deer-Slaying Blade, but his previous resistance to Li Guang's demands finally yielded results.

"I escaped with my life again thanks to my senior brother's sword!"

He had previously resisted Li Guang's repeated expressions of affection, but now he drew his knife without hesitation.

With a flick of the Deer-Slaying Blade, Zhang Xuezhou leaped off the white horse.

Li Guang held the Deer-Slaying Blade in his hand. His expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel that Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have been waiting for this moment to ask him questions.

But the deal between the two parties has indeed ended.

With this knife, Zhang Xuezhou avoided being led by the guide on the last two mountain peaks and had time to escape.

Having finally managed to infiltrate the Xieluosi River Holy Land, Li Guang would certainly not miss any opportunity to kill.

He touched the quiver, then slowly spurred his horse forward.

"If only that old monster Zhu Jiuyin could leave the secret place!"

Li Guang thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Xuezhou, who was running in the snow. He repeatedly wanted to gallop off on his horse, but he forced himself to suppress it.

Only when Zhang Xuezhou, whom he sensed, had gone further and further away and was difficult to lock onto, did Li Guang raise the reins in his hand.

His gaze and attention also began to turn forward.

That was the place where the Swan Demon resided, as indicated by Zhang Xuezhou.

"There's Yao Qi surging into the sky! This trip won't be all about fighting weak and insignificant Demon Beast!"

A casual long-range shot could kill Demon Beast, but Li Guang couldn't kill a demon king simply by sensing its aura.

But once someone is locked onto by his eyes, it's difficult for them to survive.

He calmed his mount, then leaped lightly onto the snow. His sleeves billowed as Yufeng, as if riding the wind, leaving no footprints or sound on the snow.

The closer they got, the more clearly Li Guang perceived the sound.

"Tiger Strength Demon King, are you truly sincere towards me?"

"Heaven and earth bear witness, I'm just waiting for you to transform and we'll get married. I'm Huli, you're Fox Power, we're a match made in heaven!"

Many people say you're after the Nine Fox Lineage's wealth!

"How could that be? Am I, Tiger Strength Demon King, a greedy demon? Besides, none of us three demon kings Not Short of Money!"

"You're a true hero! I love your honesty as a demon. When I get married, I'll get you a tiger-headed broadsword from your great-grandfather. That kind of divine weapon will definitely make you the most powerful demon king in close combat in the Sacred Land!"

"The broadsword is good, but it's not even three-tenths as good as you, Mei'er!"

A joyful voice rang out, followed by calls urging people to get into the water.

Li Guang took a closer look and saw a white fox, as tall as a man and wearing a flower wreath, awkwardly taking off her colorful clothes. There was also a burly demon with a tiger's head admiring the fox's beautiful figure.

"What a magnificent, colorful robe!"

The white fox has not yet transformed into human form, and its cultivation is obviously limited, but the precious clothes it wears are extraordinary.

Li Guang glanced at it and saw that the precious garment was shimmering with cold light, and that barbs with barbs were slowly retracting.

"Hurry up and take off your clothes. Soak in this Transformation Spring for a while, and once you transform into human form, it will be convenient for us to make love," said Tiger Strength Demon King.

"My great-grandfather said I'm destined for disaster, and I'll die if I take off this five-colored robe," the fox demon said coyly. "If it weren't for this precious robe binding me, I would have already transformed into human form!"

"Don't listen to the Nine-Fox Great Sage's nonsense. How could you possibly die in a place like this?" Tiger Strength Demon King scoffed. "With me protecting this place, no one dares to trespass. Do you think you can drown in this barely knee-deep Transformation Spring water in a short time?"

"What you say makes sense," the fox demon said. "Once I take off my clothes and transform into human form, the method my great-grandfather spoke of won't be able to bind me anymore!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Tiger Strength Demon King nodded repeatedly, "After you transform, we'll have some fun, then you can wear this five-colored robe, and whoever harms you will be killed with a flick!"

"This protective garment isn't that powerful; it can only injure people!"

"The bullet wounds are severe!"

Before a spring, Tiger Strength Demon King and White Fox talked back and forth.

Li Guang frowned as he listened to the two demons' rather difficult language, but he still managed to understand what they were talking about.

The arrow in his hand was originally aimed at the Tiger Strength Demon King, after all, Li Guang was quite familiar with this demon king and knew that he was a demon general in the Xieluosi River Holy Land who liked to charge into battle.

But after hearing Tiger Strength Demon King and Fox Demon's conversation, he aimed his arrow at Fox Demon.

He had a prepared arrow that could kill the Tiger Strength Demon King, but as long as the fox demon put on the colorful clothes, it would surely restrict his movements, not only causing the news of his passage through the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to leak out quickly, but also potentially causing him harm.

"You women are such a hassle to take off your clothes!"

When the Tiger Strength Demon King uttered his complaints, Li Guang couldn't help but grumble along with him.

But the fox demon chanted the incantation over and over again, verifying it several times. After nearly a quarter of an hour, the protective armor was finally removed.

Before Tiger Strength Demon King could even take the removed armor, Li Guang, who had been holding back for a long time, shot an arrow.
