Chapter 664: Are You Teaching Me to Do Things?

Chapter 664: Are You Teaching Me to Do Things?

The heart demon was getting desperate; unexpectedly, Su Lingjiang was able to resist and didn’t completely interfere with his consciousness.

This was its last chance. It needed to find a weak host at the critical moment, or it would die alongside its current host.

This brat was clearly much weaker than Su Lingjiang. If it weren’t for Su Lingjiang holding back, he would have long since been killed.

Su Lingjiang, destined to never become great, was just a step away from having his body taken.

Damn it, worthless.

First, I’ll attach myself to this brat. This cultivator will likely not last long under Demon Qi’s onslaught, urging him to find Demon Disciples, then shifting the battlefield. By then, this body would be useless to him.

Alright, you’re the one!

The Sharp Sword fell upon Su Lingjiang, leaving cuts on his skin, aiming for a critical strike that would end his life on the spot.

But at that moment, the heart demon charged out from Su Lingjiang with all its might, its massive aura transforming into a swirl of Demon Qi that surged toward Lin Nuo.

Because of this, the sword stopped, missing Su Lingjiang’s vital point.

“Oh no, what?!”

Su Lingjiang sensed something was wrong; he never expected his heart demon would bolt from his body and latch onto Lin Nuo.

This was bad; he had narrowly escaped calamity, but Lin Nuo was now heading toward utter destruction.

That was his son-in-law! A promising young man—how could he let this heart demon torment him?

No, I must save him! The heart demon must return to my body!

Su Lingjiang attempted to pounce onto Lin Nuo, planning to forcibly transfer the heart demon back.

But the heart demon was not easy prey; it pushed back with a surge of Demon Qi, directly repelling Su Lingjiang.

Su Lingjiang fell to the ground, injuries streaming blood.

“No, don’t touch him! If anything happens, come for me!”

Despite Su Lingjiang’s desperate shouts, the heart demon ignored him, determined to temporarily attach to this brat and find a suitable place to thrive.

Furthermore, before that, it needed to eliminate Su Lingjiang; this useless waste didn’t deserve to live.

Powerful Demon Qi swirled around Lin Nuo, rapidly invading his body, exhibiting signs of demonization—his skin darkened, veins bulged, and his eyes turned crimson.

The heart demon had infiltrated Lin Nuo’s body, recognizing it as a nice place to settle, feeling comfortable and considering it a suitable host.

“Come on, young man, that man wants to kill you. I suggest you strike first to eliminate future threats. He has no strength to resist now. Raise your sword and bring it down; there won’t be any future troubles. Go ahead, kill him.”

The heart demon quickly embedded its voice in Lin Nuo’s mind, brainwashing him, igniting his anger and murderous intent against Su Lingjiang.

If possible, it could also make him hunt down the fleeing ones, leaving none alive.

“Who do you think you are, ordering me around?”

The encroaching heart demon heard a voice that was proud and cold, as if looking down from above, filled with disdain.

“Hmph, young man, I advise you to be respectful. Now that I’ve entered your body, we’re in this fight together. I hope we can reach a consensus; otherwise, only you will suffer.”

“Is that so, you piece of trash.”

In an instant, a youth appeared in this mindscape, draped in a majestic black battle robe, wielding a dark purple magic sword etched with dragon patterns, with a swirling dark wind around him and blood-red eyes that were startling.

This completely shocked the heart demon, which thought it was just an ordinary cultivator but instead encountered a formidable entity.

The oppressive Demon Qi was almost unbearable, and the dragon-patterned magic sword contained immense power.

“What… who are you?!”

“You’re not the first soul to come here. Rather than say you are Su Lingjiang’s heart demon, it’s more accurate to describe you as a Demon Spirit birthed from his body. This all arises from reckless use of magic.”

“How do you know…? Who are you?!”

The heart demon, now flustered, lost its formerly arrogant tone, adopting a submissive demeanor.

“Me? Let’s just say I’ve thoroughly mastered the Demon Path; in the future, I will be the pinnacle of it.”

The arrogant voice left the heart demon even more perplexed, unable to comprehend how such a seemingly ordinary cultivator could utter such words.

The pinnacle of the Demon Path? What a joke—he wasn’t even a practitioner of demonic arts, so how could that be possible?

It’s bizarre since he outwardly displayed no signs of being a Demon Practitioner, not even a hint of powerful aura.

Truly strange.

“Hmph, is that so? There are heavens beyond heaven, young man, you’re being too cocky.”

“Is that so?”

Lin Nuo smiled, acknowledging that there were indeed heavens beyond heaven—the greatest being Su Kexin; everyone else was insignificant.

“I don’t like it when unwelcome things intrude here, just like an uninvited guest in my house.”

“You see, even a master like Su Lingjiang can’t suppress me. What can you do? If you struggle, it’ll only bring you pain. Trust me; you will be safe.”

The Demon Spirit adjusted its tone, adopting a teaching demeanor as if speaking to a junior.

“Are you teaching me to do things?”

Lin Nuo raised the sharp magic sword, pointing it at the hovering demon spirit.

“Coming in here and teaching me? That’s quite arrogant.”

With that imposing stance and the looming demon aura, the demon spirit inexplicably felt a tinge of awe.

Yet, it had no reason to be afraid since it was merely bluffing.

The dark, vast aura swirled around the demon spirit, a dark whirlwind rushing forth.

However, with a slight swing of Lin Nuo’s magic sword, the dark whirlwind evaporated into nothingness.

“What…”

The demon spirit was dumbfounded; how did it vanish just like that?! Too mystical!

“Impossible…”

“Goodbye.”

Lin Nuo coldly uttered those two words, swinging down the dark magic sword, a fierce dragon shadow surged forth, baring its enormous jaws and razor-sharp fangs toward the floating demon spirit.

The demon spirit attempted to dodge, but it found itself utterly unable to move, like a pig on a slaughtering stand waiting to be cut.

“N-no!”

Amidst its panicked scream, the dragon shadow finally clamped down on the demon spirit, swallowing it whole.

It vanished, leaving nothing behind as everything returned to tranquility.

The dragon shadow flew to Lin Nuo’s side, his hand gently resting on its forehead.

“This demon spirit’s Demon Soul Power is considerable; I’ll store it for later use.”

After saying that, his robes billowed with the cold wind, returning to a dark state, and he vanished from sight.

…

Su Lingjiang thought Lin Nuo was doomed, filled with anguish.

It was his fault that Lin Nuo was suffering, this young prodigy tormented by his heart demon, and he also put his own daughter in danger.

Filled with guilt, not only did he leave without saying goodbye to his family, failing to fulfill his responsibilities as the head of the family, but he also brought them trouble. An endless sense of guilt surged within him.

The knightly way he had always upheld was ultimately not attainable.

I’m sorry, young man; I have wronged you…

However, as he wallowed in guilt, all the Demon Qi dissipated, and Lin Nuo returned from his demonized state, restoring peace.

“What…?”

Su Lingjiang was bewildered by the current situation.
