So I Am A Demon Descendent!
chapter-123

Li Peiyun concentrated his qi on his solar plexus, closed his eyes and meditated. After a few breaths, a white light emanated from his solar plexus. The sword of qi seemed to be stimulated as it vibrated slightly. Beams of white light radiated from the sword and entered Li Peiyun’s solar plexus.

His solar plexus and the sword of qi were slowly intertwined by the rays of white light.

The people from the Ancient Gods Clan were diverse in nature. Their expressions varied. Some had greedy looks on their faces while some appeared excited. Only the God of War remained emotionless and stoic. The most terrifying thing about top class killers in the Ancient Gods Clan was their unwavering, stable state of mind. They acted with strong purpose and focused on their cultivation. Even if there were invaluable treasure placed in front of them, they would not be greedy.

Li Peiyun’s arms shook, and the vast wind rippled across the cave. Everyone but the God of War was thrown backwards from the force. He pulled out the sword as the white rays of light filled the air. His hair and clothes danced in the air, caused by the wind.

Swoosh! With a clear sound, the sword of qi melded into his palm, then ran through the veins in his arm and into his solar plexus. Li Peiyun’s body radiated brightly due to the white light.

“Huh?” He frowned. “I can’t fit this into my body in a short time. I need to practice…” Li Peiyun looked around himself. At this time, his whole body was radiating white light in an awkward manner.

“Yeah, it’s cool…” He gave a forced expression of satisfaction.

All eyes were on him, but the God of War stood by the forging table and watched intently.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” Blood Devil looked away from Li Peiyun and asked.

“It makes me feel weird.” The God of War frowned.

Blood Devil walked around the forging table, tapped and felt, and said blankly, “There’s no problem. What’s wrong?”

The God of War was silent as he thought for a moment, before slamming his hand on the forging platform. Under the great force, the forging platform disintegrated. It was a common forging table, so it was not surprising at all.

“I’m thinking too much. Let’s go.” The God of War looked sideways at the shining Li Peiyun. “It’s time for you to be famous.”

According to Li Peiyun’s plan, there would be a hard battle to fight next. The new leader wanted to uphold the evil ways. In fact, it was not necessary in the God of War’s opinion. The evil way was decades behind. It was doomed. What was the importance of such an identity? However, because Li Peiyun had such an idea, he reached an agreement with the Ancient Gods Clan. After all, upholding the evil way meant making enemies with the orthodox. Li Peiyun needed to borrow some power. The Ancient Gods Clan also needed his help and reputation to recruit people and make a comeback.

This was a good opportunity. There were five experts and hundreds of practitioners, it was time for Li Peiyun to become famous.

The God of War liked the random exponent that Li Peiyun did not know as well. Yet, he despised him as well. The people whom he despised were not many. He did not despise that person’s prowess, but his overpowering sense of wisdom.

Intuition told him that the man could not be controlled, so the God of War never communicated with him. Nor did he ever think of recruiting him into the sect.

Li Peiyun’s moment of fame was to be after he had acquired the treasure. The slip-up at the village was entirely an accident. The God of War had purposely put Blood Devil in a difficult position.

This was in order to attract the experts of Baoze Group.

It was a surprise that San Wu appeared, but the appearance of the descendant of the Li family had caught them off guard.

Baoze Group almost lost that time, but the truth was that the Ancient Gods Clan had lost. The pugilistic world functioned like that. If one was careless, one would pay the price. The party who was able to stay ahead by a few moves were the ones that etched their names in the history books.

…

When Li Xianyu and others left the cave, Li Xianyu rushed to the stream which divided the valley into two parts. The stream flowed all the way to the cave, but its starting point was on the other side of the mountain.

“Li Xianyu, did you find anything?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady grabbed him and whispered.

Li Xianyu scanned around, not knowing if any practitioner was waiting outside. He shook his head silently and looked back at the crowd, hinting for them to keep up. He wandered up the stream.

After ten minutes, the valley was left far behind. There was a faint sound caused by the water ahead.

Sure enough, the inheritance of the Demonic Path was not in the cave, but in another place.

Haha, widows are so fucking smart. Li Xianyu smiled. If he managed to get the Demonic Path’s treasure, he would have completed half the company’s mission. With majority of the credit, he would earn big bundles of points. Points were good. They could be exchanged for various weapons and countless bills. I could gradually accumulate them and become a pay-to-win player.

Suddenly, several figures appeared in front, one of which was particularly striking. The entire person radiated light, like a big lightbulb. The other one was easily two meters tall, as he stood majestic and tall.

Li Xianyu stopped in his tracks rapidly. “Fuck. God of War.”

Liu Kongcao stopped in his tracks rapidly. “Fuck, it’s them again.”

The frontline members of Baoze’s group stopped in unison and looked at Li Xianyu with complicated expressions on their faces.

As long as Li Xianyu led the way, they would bump into the elite forces of Ancient Gods Clan. Although this was one of the objectives of the mission, the God of Apes was not around. This fellow was a troublemaker.

As his red eyes lit up, Blood Devil let out a hysterical laugh and declared, “Li Xianyu is mine.”

This fellow, like a mad devil, flew towards the team from Baoze.

Great-Grandma jumped up, kicked him off with one foot and said, “What are you doing?”

Li Peiyun’s rampaged towards them silently, his arm raised. The bright light in his solar plexus rose and rushed into his arm. It rushed out of his palm and transformed into a brilliant lightsaber.

The God of War’s palm was full of energy. He pulled Blood Devil over to his side and supported him as he said, “Are you alright?”

Blood Devil spewed out a mouthful of blood, but his face was surprised. “Unparalleled War Spirit’s ability has fallen greatly.”

The man in black asked, “Really?”

Blood Devil grinned, showing the bloodstains on his teeth. “That night, during the skirmish, she subdued me with one stroke. However, this time, I only suffered light injuries. Her abilities have indeed dipped.”

Ding! The sword of qi clashed with Grandma’s arm, sending sparks everywhere. Currents of air gushed outwards from under Great-Grandma’s feet, sending sand and rocks flying everywhere.

Li Peiyun stepped back once contact was made, and retreated, landing between the two parties. His right hand held his sword as he looked arrogant.

Great-Grandma lowered her head and looked at her arm, dazed. Her slender, snow-white arm was tainted by the appearance of a wound. The red blood oozing out stained half of her arm red.

“Great-Grandma…” Li Xianyu’s face changed color. This was the first time he saw Great-Grandma hurt. Great-Grandma always boasted about how strong her body was. It was comparable to the Buddha’s indestructible body of steel. Li Xianyu felt that Great-Grandma’s body was indestructible as well. He finally realized how terrifying the Demonic Path was. Like Great-Grandma, the skill witnessed was among the most powerful of the Gokudo Path.

The faces of all the people from the frontline forces changed colour at the same time. They stared at Great-Grandma, whose arms were bloody.

The God of War frowned. “No wonder. The prowess she had that night was not normal. This means that the prowess of Li Xianyu wasn’t normal as well.” He laughed cruelly. “Very well. Tonight, I will use her as a stepping stone to help Li Peiyun become famous.”

In the darkness, two red beams of light suddenly shone. The female war spirit flew out. Her bloodied arms were raised as she pounded the ground heavily, causing explosions to sound out in the air.

Li Peiyun lowered his waist, raised the tip of his sword and charged forward to combat her.

Ding! An ear-piercing noise echoed out, causing Li Xianyu to feel a pain in his eardrum. He could not hear anymore. Despite losing his hearing, he did not care. He stared at the field and the sword of Li Peiyun.

Li Peiyun knelt violently on the ground, causing two big pits to form. The sword transformed into layers of light mist and floated on top of the heads of the people, illuminating the landscape. Li Peiyun bit his lip, bounced on his knees, stood up and hollered, “Shoot!”

The light mist dissipated and went back into his solar plexus. Then, it flowed out of his solar plexus in the form of a sword again.

“Thank you so much for the rebirth,” Li Peiyun said sincerely.

As the saying goes, “Fail to succeed.” The female war spirit broke the Sword of Light with one punch and broke the mark of the Demonic Path. At this time, this Sword of Light was truly Li Peiyun’s Sword of Light.

Great-Grandma shook her arm, causing blood to spill on the ground. Her white skin did not seem to be stained with blood. The wound had seemingly recovered.

“Interesting. At my peak, I have never fought with the Demonic Path. At the peak of the Demonic Path, I was already under the control of the Black Water Spirit Bead. It’s a pity and regret that I couldn’t spar with him.” Great-Grandma muttered lightly, “I don’t care about all the other exponents. Only you are worthy of being my great-grandson’s enemy.”

Li Xianyu’s eardrum repaired itself automatically as he heard this sentence. He thought to himself, Great-Grandma, you rate me too highly.

However, he still chose to cooperate with Great-Grandma’s boasting. Coldly, he unzipped the zip on his shirt as he used both hands to hold the bottom part of his shirt. He leaned back and said, “If I can beat you once, I can beat you twice.”

The three characters on his chest was very striking. Call Me Daddy!

The veins on Li Peiyun’s forehead jumped, as he pointed his sword at Great-Grandma. “Please give me guidance!”

The confrontation between the two sides broke out in an instant.

The frontline team had more experts than the Ancient Gods Clan, but their experts were more skilled. Li Xianyu knew that Great-Grandma could not actually beat Li Peiyun, who had perfected the art of swordsmanship. When war spirits no longer had a bodily advantage, and that their powers were sealed, Great-Grandma would not be able to beat Li Peiyun. That lad was as skilled as an S-level master. As he possessed the sword of qi, he would undoubtedly be recognised as another version of the God of War.

Li Xianyu and Liu Kongcao were seemingly telepathic as they bolted at the same time, while You Mengyu followed behind them.

“What are you doing here? Why don’t you fight?” Li Xianyu cried out, “Are you backing out at the critical moment?!”

“Although I really want to fight, there are too many experts on the other side. Both Black and White Impermanence and Tuxing Sun had the prowess of a high-level employee, excluding the time where they fought one-on-one. I may be attacked and killed in seconds if my attention drifts. That’s my greatest fear, given my special ability,” You Mengyu expressed bitterly. “That’s unless my sister comes out, but I can’t summon her at will.”

“That’s easy,” Li Xianyu suddenly stopped, turned around and crashed into You Mengyu.

You Mengyu lowered her head in disbelief as she noticed that a three-centimeter lightsaber had pierced her abdomen. The heat burned her internal organs as the pain hit her. He had also moved the knife after it had pierced her.

Li Xianyu bolted.

She grunted as she slumped on the ground. As she looked at Li Xianyu’s shadow, she thought to herself, How vicious. I didn’t fall for the wrong person indeed.

Her eyes dimmed and lit up once again. She appeared rejuvenated and transformed as the strong and fierce look in her eyes were restored. A few elements of resilience and perseverance could be spotted from her expression.

You Mingyu sneered as a sword handle slipped out of her sleeve. She grasped it tightly as her hand shook, causing her three-meter-long whip to condense. With a murderous intent, she rampaged towards the remaining forces of the Ancient Gods Clan.

“What a simple thing to do.” As Li Xianyu looked back at this scene, he was immediately at ease. Because of his antics, another skilled member had been added to his side’s forces. As for You Mengyu’s injury, he would just give her a tube of his blood afterwards.

As the cave drew nearer and nearer, Li Xianyu returned with Liu Kongcao to the entrance of the cave, shouting at the top of his voice, “The Demonic Path’s treasure is here. First come, first serve! Come and get it…”
