Chapter 661 - 313: What Is Their Relationship?

Although this was an established convention, how many people actually abide by it? Once on the island, trying to limit killing humans and demons with this convention is simply impossible. After all, in the end, the slaughter can be explained as a struggle for opportunity rather than racial hatred.

"Don’t flatter yourself; your heart is with the Demon Race!"

The beautiful female cultivator accompanying Ming Dao pointed at You Su angrily. Ji Xueruo heard this and glared coldly at her, causing her to feel a chill and restrain her aura.

"The relationship between humans and demons is so bad because of fools like you. Mr. You’s heart is not with the Demon Race, but with justice."

Ao Yunlie took a step forward, and dust instantly surged up like mist, "Today I, Ao Yunlie, make a move also for justice! Whatever you have, come at me!"

Seeing this, Ji Xueruo glanced at You Su, who looked serious, and whispered:

"I told you not to make things more complicated. Your intervention will only complicate matters further. I can handle him myself."

"But he wants to kill you, I..."

You Su’s tone softened as if feeling wronged, but before he could finish, Ji Xueruo interrupted him.

"Are you intervening to save me, or to vent your anger?"

You Su was taken aback and honestly replied, "Both."

Hearing his answer, a strange warmth filled Ji Xueruo’s heart. Her lips curled up naturally, but she quickly suppressed it:

"If it’s to save me, you don’t need to intervene, because I don’t need your help; if it’s to vent your anger, you still can’t intervene, as that would leave you vulnerable to criticism."

"What criticism could there be? Justice resides in people’s hearts." You Su stood tall and proud, "Furthermore, I’m not afraid of criticism. You can’t always guard against petty people."

"There’s no such thing as justice in this world anymore."

Ji Xueruo sighed softly, touched by You Su’s willingness to ignore others’ opinions for her sake.

She felt that the emotion she had suppressed in her heart for so long hadn’t faded with time as she wished. With their reunion, this feeling was like an opened bottle of vintage wine, exuding an intoxicating aroma...

"Don’t act rashly; there are more than just these few people here, and many are watching, waiting to take advantage. If you really want to help me, keep an eye on the surroundings for me."

"But you..." You Su hesitated.

"What?" Ji Xueruo raised her dark eyebrows and retorted, "You, Mr. You, have the confidence to cross realms and kill your enemies, but others can’t? I haven’t questioned whether you’re just trying to impress, and now you’re doubting me?"

This unequal trust indeed hurt, and You Su quickly apologized, "I’m sorry..."

Ji Xueruo huffed lightly and turned her head:

"I haven’t even revealed my true snake form yet; he might not be able to defeat me. Watch closely and check your arrogance; we Demon Race prodigies are no less than you of the Human Race."

You Su didn’t respond but just watched her closely as she instructed. Wearing sunglasses, he unabashedly gazed at his long-lost lover, convinced in his heart, despite her never admitting it.

This enchanting face was indistinguishable from his junior sister, yet her aura was entirely different. She was like a noble plum blossom thriving in the cold of winter, with eyes hiding moonlight, and stars draped over her shoulders. For a moment, he found himself somewhat entranced.

"What are you looking at..."

Ji Xueruo, sensing You Su’s gaze, felt a faint blush despite knowing he was blind.

"You’re the one who told me to watch closely, didn’t you?" You Su countered.

Ji Xueruo sighed wordlessly, "I meant watch me fight!"

As soon as the words fell, she leapt lightly, her black skirt billowing as she prepared to charge towards the battlefield where Ao Yunlie and Ming Dao were fiercely engaged.

You Su suddenly realized that while saving a damsel in distress was nice, watching the one he loved shine was also a beautiful thing.

Meanwhile, the remaining battles began.

A Condensed Water Upper Realm cultivator, unaware of his own mortality, saw You Su lost in thought and secretly circled behind him, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Since Ao Yunlie and Ji Xueruo were dealing with Ming Dao, the originally balanced confrontation had shifted. Ao Yu was forced to fight two opponents alone, unable to split his attention, and had to shout a reminder:

"Blind man! Behind you!"

But You Su didn’t move, and Ao Yu grew anxious upon seeing the sword-wielding cultivator about to succeed. He was about to intervene to save him, assuming from before that this blind Sword Cultivator truly acted for justice...

But in the next moment, You Su dodged the seemingly inevitable strike in a more astonishing fashion than an ostrich burying its head!

The cultivator was shocked and about to continue attacking when You Su, with a hand on the ground, spun around with his sword, creating a fierce wind that forced him back.

Now frustrated, You Su only wanted to watch Miss Xueruo showcase her might without diverting his gaze, yet this person insisted on disturbing him.

"Are you acting on Ming Dao’s orders, or do you truly intend to kill her?" You Su asked coldly.

The questioned cultivator was momentarily startled, unexpectedly feeling a hint of dread, with cold sweat seeping on his back.

Every person invited to the island considered themselves a hero, so how could he possibly fear a blind man with only a Condensed Water Lower Realm cultivation?

Even if this blind man had Sword Intent, he was no ordinary person!

"The Demon Race should not exist in this world!" he shouted.

You Su gripped the Mo Song Sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "Then you will have no further opportunity to tear that letter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved like thunder, the black sword like an impenetrable wall, crashing down upon the enemy.

Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield, Ao Yunlie sensed Ji Xueruo’s determination to face Ming Dao alone, and tactfully stepped back, despite this being a battle he’d eagerly awaited.

Ming Dao was scornful of this, but he was surprised by how difficult Ji Xueruo was to deal with.

Her skills were not all that rare or unique, but she wielded them with such proficiency that they all complemented one another. It was like she was a battle strategist, orchestrating each skill to achieve unexpected effects.

"This sword was not meant for you, but you’ve proven yourself worthy to witness it."

Ming Dao’s voice was filled with venomous malice, almost seeping through clenched teeth.

As his Sword Intent surged, the clouds in the night sky seemed to be affected, gathering above him like dark tides.

His Sword Intent scattered, the sword’s shaft twisted and gathered, and although moments before it was a humid, typical night, now a seemingly insignificant raindrop fell from the clouds.

Ming Dao precisely controlled the timing and trajectory of this raindrop. Just as it was about to hit the ground, the Rain Listening Sword sliced through its center, causing the drop to coalesce and adhere to the blade, becoming a tangible Sword Intent!

In the clouds, lightning flashed, and thunder roared!

Ao Yunlie was utterly astonished, as this was clearly beyond Half-Step Sword Intent, indicating Ming Dao was about to fully grasp the complete Rain Listening Sword Intent!

And Ji Xueruo simultaneously revealed her trump card!

Her pupils transformed into vertical slits, with white snake scales emerging from the corners of her eyes, gradually spreading backward. Her form started to swell until she became a colossal white snake!

Her scales gleamed in the bright moonlight, her snake head raised high, with massive snake eyes like two dazzling gemstones. On her snake head, there were curved protrusions resembling a crown.

Upon seeing her, no one would associate her with the word ’demon,’ but would instead be deeply captivated by the snake’s noble and profound aura.

She opened her snake mouth, and a cluster of multicolored light began to coalesce within it, causing even space to ripple.

Ao Yunlie was even more bewildered, never having seen such an abundance of elements combined together, on the brink of explosion.

Among those who practice skills, some specialize in fire, others in water, maximizing the efficacy of their skills by using their specialties. But the skill brewed by this Snake Race Clan Leader contained all sorts of elements!

Ao Yunlie could only form one thought: she was either a versatile genius in the path of skills or absolutely mad!

This was going to be a cataclysmic clash!

But just at that moment, the heavens and earth radically changed!

The black tide-like clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the ground beneath their feet began to quake and crack. Everyone stopped, looking at one another in confusion, shaken and not understanding the cause.

Right beneath the ground where Ji Xueruo, in her snake demon form, stood, it abruptly started to fracture, and a ghastly, bloodthirsty maw burst forth!

Ji Lingruo was forced to halt her skill’s brewing, hurriedly maneuvering away, but Ming Dao, standing high on a tree, had no intention to cease his attack!
