Chapter 239: Four Kills (Fifth Watch)

Vermilion Bird???

She fell silent.

“Ten Thousand Spirits, keep disguising yourself. If she touches you with her blood, immediately parasitize her. That’s your only way out. If you don’t, she’s not going to stop me. I know you have four other parasites.”

The young beast naturally showed pure fear.

It seemed even unable to comprehend Lu Ye’s words.

The Vermilion Bird’s face twisted in struggle as she gazed at Lu Ye, “Do you really want me to risk my life like this?”

Lu Ye sighed softly.

His hand gently brushed across the Vermilion Bird’s stunningly beautiful face.

“The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor is my arch-nemesis. Since you don’t believe this young beast is the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor, you’ll find out if you try. Otherwise, don’t stop me.”

The Vermilion Bird’s expression was one of agony, tears streaming down her face.

“Lu Ye, why are you so cruel? I’m clearly your little bird…”

Lu Ye raised the Stone Sword again.

“I’ll say it one last time—he is the Ten Thousand Spirits. If you believe that, step aside. If not, then touch him with your own blood to investigate for yourself!”

“I’ll count to three!”

“Three!”

“Two!”

“I’ll try!”

The Vermilion Bird let out a mournful wail.

Lu Ye’s eyes were filled with cold ruthlessness.

“He is definitely not the Ten Thousand Spirits. I believe it! He won’t parasitize me!”

Lu Ye stared at the young beast, not saying another word.

The Vermilion Bird’s arm was cut, blood flowing as she looked at the young beast.

“You’re definitely not the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor, right? I believe in you. Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, Lu Ye definitely won’t kill you. Don’t be afraid!”

The Vermilion Bird reassured the young beast.

The young beast’s clear eyes shimmered with tears, filled with fear.

Seeing the blood from the Vermilion Bird’s wound, it even shrunk back in fear.

Observing this, the Vermilion Bird couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She thought that how could this young beast, just newly born, possibly be the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor? Lu Ye was simply being too crazy, ready to kill anything rather than let it escape.

She slowly brought her bloodied arm closer to the young beast, getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, the young beast lunged forward.

The Vermilion Bird was startled and quickly pulled her arm back, but the young beast still touched her blood.

The Vermilion Bird shuddered violently.

Her expression began to twist in agony as flames instantaneously ignited around her.

The Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Spirits of Heaven. Although most of her bloodline was sealed, under this parasitic condition, it was still triggered, leading to a frenzied struggle for control over their bodies.

The Vermilion Bird couldn’t believe it.

This young beast, this young beast… Could it really be the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor?

“Help… Help me…” The Vermilion Bird looked at Lu Ye, her eyes flickering as she pleaded, seeking rescue.

Lu Ye sighed.

“I’m truly sorry. I can’t help with the parasitism of the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor.”

Lu Ye was also in some pain, but what could he do?

Should he knock the Vermilion Bird away and forcefully kill her?

With the Vermilion Bird’s personality, doing that would surely make him her enemy.

If the Ten Thousand Spirits gave up on the parasitism, Lu Ye would genuinely be a bit troubled.

But the Ten Thousand Spirits really did parasitize her.

“Don’t kill me, Lu Ye! After I parasitize the Vermilion Bird, I can be your servant!”

“You like the Vermilion Bird, right? I’ll become the Vermilion Bird. I have no gender distinction; I can transform into female form and replace the Vermilion Bird as your woman.”

“From now on, if you fancy any woman, just tell me. I can parasitize them. Then you can have whoever you want, however many women you want.”

“I won’t devour their souls; I’ll only control them when you need me to.”

“Lu Ye, I have great uses! Don’t kill me!”

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor pleaded for mercy through the Vermilion Bird.

This was indeed a brand-new argument.

It seemed quite feasible.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t that attractive, because if Lu Ye wanted, he could easily choose any woman from the Grand Dao Sect or Supreme Imperial Court.

And even if the appearance of the women varied, they would all be the same at their core—the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor. What’s the point?

The most crucial thing was!

When the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor first showed up, he appeared as a male demon.

“I’m sorry.”

Lu Ye gently stroked the Vermilion Bird’s cheek once more.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, Yin Qingcheng appeared.

Lu Ye???

Looking at Yin Qingcheng’s appearance, Lu Ye felt a sense of familiarity but couldn’t quite place where he’d seen her before.

“Lu Ye, I can help you!”

“It’s just parasitism. I know how to solve it,” Yin Qingcheng declared earnestly.

“Really?”

Lu Ye frowned slightly. In his understanding, the parasitism of the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor was unsolvable.

Because what the system would predict were all unachievable outcomes.

For example, converting the parasitism of the Ten Thousand Spirits into himself through the conversion of yin and yang, and then self-detonating together.

Not to mention how difficult it was to master the yin-yang conversion; simply self-detonating was impossible.

As someone who had died once, no one knew the preciousness of life better than him.

“Of course, it’s true!”

It was just the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor of the lower realm. She had seen Parasitic Celestial Demons too—not that they weren’t all easily killed by Lu Ye.

Right, basically no one knew that the Parasitic Celestial Demon was actually the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor. Lu Ye had been deeply hurt by the mockery from the Vermilion Bird and lost interest in explaining to anyone else.

After all, the Parasitic Celestial Demon and the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor had fallen.

“Just watch, I’ll solve all your problems!”

Yin Qingcheng also cut open her arm and approached the Vermilion Bird.

“If you don’t want to die, get into my body!”

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor rejoiced. This woman seemed to have a good relationship with Lu Ye. One Vermilion Bird’s life wasn’t enough; adding another one, would Lu Ye spare me?

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor didn’t bother wasting words, swiftly splitting off a portion of its power into Yin Qingcheng’s body.

Yin Qingcheng sat cross-legged and began refining the parasitism of the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor using the “Forgetful Immortal Canon.”

But this was a Parasitic Celestial Demon.

A peculiar being that only appeared after eons in the world.

“Lu Ye, how about not killing me this time?”

Yin Qingcheng suddenly opened her eyes, filled with hope as she looked at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye…

This Yin Qingcheng???

Crazy???

But thankfully, killing this suddenly appearing Yin Qingcheng wouldn’t upset him.

“No!”

“No!”

“No!”

“No!”

Four consecutive “No’s,” one from the Vermilion Bird, one from Yin Qingcheng, and two from the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor.

The Stone Sword burst forth with radiant light.

Raising a tiger can lead to trouble; it’s absolutely impossible!

Eradicate the roots to maintain the right path!

…

“Ahhh…” The Vermilion Bird’s obsession emitted the most sorrowful scream as the new memories deepened her fixation.

She was wrong!

She was truly wrong!

If the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor wasn’t killed, with its ambition, the entire Demon Clan would become his. He would become the whole Demon Clan.

The Demon Clan would definitely face complete annihilation.

It was her own naivety.

It was her own excessive kindness!

The Vermilion Bird screamed in anguish at the bottom of the reincarnation.

The Seventh Heaven.

Yin Qingcheng stared blankly at the Three Lives Stone.

In that moment, she suddenly felt fear from this Three Lives Stone.

She died yet again…
