Chapter 1383: Victory Without Bloodshed
Hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Blood Empress Demon King’s face still carried that enchanting smile.
She then slowly walked toward Su Jingzhen and Mo Xuantian once more, completely ignoring the chaotic storms raging in the void.
“If you didn’t have a Demon King by your side, little brother, I would naturally keep my promise. What harm would there be in enjoying the moonlight with you? But since you have a Demon King with you, I’m afraid, little brother.”
After a pause, she continued, “Why don’t you ask the Demon King beside you to step back a bit? Then I can have a proper chat with you. How about that?”
As she spoke, she blinked at Su Jingzhen, exuding the charm of a mature woman to the fullest.
Although her words were playful, the killing intent around her grew even more intense.
Su Jingzhen pretended not to notice her killing intent.
He then said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll have him leave. Can we continue our earlier conversation?”
Hearing this, Blood Demon was even more surprised.
She was well aware of her own charm.
But in the past, whenever people saw her, they were only filled with fear.
No one had ever dared to pay attention to her allure.
In her eyes, Su Jingzhen was indeed an interesting character.
As she pondered this, she was even more astonished when Su Jingzhen, after speaking, actually waved his hand at Mo Xuantian, signaling him to step away.
“You can step back for now. I want to have a deep conversation with this sister. Who knows, we might become family in the future. There’s no need to resort to force right away.”
Su Jingzhen spoke to Mo Xuantian.
The latter was momentarily stunned, his brows furrowed as he glanced at Blood Demon and then back at Su Jingzhen.
With a look of surprise and even shock, Mo Xuantian actually retreated a hundred miles away.
Now, Su Jingzhen was left without any Demon King-level protection.
At such a close distance, with Blood Demon’s strength, taking Su Jingzhen’s life would be as easy as flipping her hand.
However, just as Su Jingzhen made this move, Blood Demon blinked her eyes, feeling utterly incredulous.
She couldn’t help but wonder: How could someone who had cultivated to at least the Demon Sage Realm be so foolish as to risk their life for lust?
Moreover, Mo Xuantian, as a bodyguard, was incredibly irresponsible.
How could he dare to leave at such a critical moment?
“You…”
Blood Demon looked at Su Jingzhen, momentarily at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into another smile.
“I’ve already done as you asked, sister. Can we continue our earlier conversation now? Let me assure you, little brother will be completely devoted to you. And if you choose to follow me, I will surely elevate you to heights you’ve never imagined.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen’s eyes were still filled with deep affection and fervor.
His demeanor wasn’t just that of a reckless playboy.
It seemed as if he couldn’t wait to push Blood Demon down and have his way with her.
Blood Demon let out a soft laugh.
For her, at this distance, if she wanted to take Su Jingzhen’s life, Mo Xuantian would undoubtedly be too late to save him.
But after a moment of contemplation, she didn’t immediately act.
Instead, she gently pressed her hand forward.
A massive Demon King-level energy enveloped Su Jingzhen, completely immobilizing the space around him.
Then, she took a step forward.
In an instant, she was within ten feet of Su Jingzhen.
At this distance, she had complete control.
“Are you truly unafraid, or do you have some trick up your sleeve?”
Blood Demon asked Su Jingzhen, her curiosity piqued.
She was utterly baffled.
In her eyes, someone who had cultivated to the Demon Sage Realm couldn’t possibly be a fool.
Yet, Su Jingzhen had just made a move that seemed utterly foolish.
Blood Demon reached out her delicate hand, lifting Su Jingzhen’s chin.
At this distance, Su Jingzhen could easily catch the faint, alluring fragrance emanating from her.
He showed no signs of panic.
His eyes still filled with infatuation, he smiled and said, “At this distance, even if I had any tricks, I wouldn’t be able to stop you from killing me. The reason I dare to get so close to you, sister, is simply because I like you. I’m willing to believe everything you’ve said. Although we cultivators shouldn’t indulge in too many romantic entanglements, I still believe that love at first sight exists in this world.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen’s expression remained deeply affectionate.
However, within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Mo Xuanling and Old Tree were already prepared to emerge at any moment.
The world power of the Pure Land had long been fully infused into Su Jingzhen’s body.
Little Green had assured him that, given the current state of the Pure Land, even if Blood Demon tried to kill him at such close range, he would be able to withstand at least one strike!
This was why Su Jingzhen dared to act so brazenly.
Of course, if he could deceive Blood Demon into entering the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss without a fight, that would be even better.
From the moment he asked Mo Xuantian to step back, this had been his goal.
When Su Jingzhen finished speaking, Blood Demon was once again stunned.
She felt a strange sense of emotion.
Only a reckless playboy could be so fearless.
Only someone like him wouldn’t know what fear was.
In her daily life, she was well aware of her own beauty.
But no one had ever dared to speak to her in such a manner.
Even as a Demon King, she was still a woman.
It was only natural for her to enjoy hearing such sweet words.
Su Jingzhen then continued, “Regarding our earlier conversation, I’ve already shown my sincerity. Would you dare to follow me to a place with flowers and moonlight, as I mentioned?”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen remained calm.
Blood Demon’s face indeed showed a flicker of interest.
Her power was already enveloping Su Jingzhen.
Even if Mo Xuantian were to attack now, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.
She had nothing to fear.
As long as she captured Su Jingzhen, the incident in Blood Demon City would be resolved.
Moreover, she was naturally curious about what tricks Su Jingzhen might try before his death.
“Alright. Since you’re so insistent on continuing our earlier conversation, I’ll oblige. After all, you’ve shown such sincerity. It wouldn’t be right for me to kill you without giving you a chance.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark light flashed around Su Jingzhen.
A vortex passageway formed within the chaotic void.
At such close range, he naturally didn’t dare to directly take out the Black Brick.
This passageway was created by Little Green.
A sacred aura emanated from it, along with the power of a high-level world.
Both Little Green and Su Jingzhen were certain that this aura would be irresistible to a Demon King-level expert.
Sure enough, as soon as the vortex passageway formed, Blood Demon instinctively sensed it and was immediately captivated.
She even leaned closer to it.
“This… this is high-level energy, and so concentrated! What lies beyond this passageway?”
Blood Demon murmured to herself, then suddenly turned a sharp gaze toward Su Jingzhen.
“What’s behind this? You’ll tell me, won’t you, little brother?”
At the same time, her delicate hand tightened around Su Jingzhen’s chin.
Su Jingzhen could feel the immense power in her grip, as if she could crush him in an instant.
But he remained calm.
“This is a land of fortune. It’s also the place I promised you, with flowers and moonlight. You must have already sensed the energy within. I don’t need to explain how much it can aid a Demon King-level cultivator, do I? I’ve been in possession of this portable secret realm for quite some time, and it truly holds great fortune for a Demon King. I’ve never found a suitable candidate before—not even my personal bodyguard was worthy. But after meeting you, sister, I knew this place was always meant for you.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen’s expression remained deeply affectionate.
Blood Demon was slightly moved.
Although she knew things couldn’t be as simple as Su Jingzhen claimed, the energy emanating from the vortex passageway was too tempting.
In fact, she could hardly resist the urge to step inside and explore it immediately.
After a moment, Blood Demon’s grip on Su Jingzhen’s chin tightened further.
A hint of killing intent rose once more.
“If you’re lying to me, you know what the consequences will be.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen felt a wave of relief.
And he was filled with anticipation.
He knew that Blood Demon couldn’t resist any longer.
“This place is absolutely your ultimate land of fortune. To prove it, I’m willing to swear on the Heavenly Dao!”
With that, Su Jingzhen actually raised one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, making a solemn oath to the Heavenly Dao!
Blood Demon was even more baffled by Su Jingzhen’s actions.
She didn’t believe his earlier claim of love at first sight.
But she also couldn’t figure out where Su Jingzhen’s confidence came from.
However, she had absolute confidence in her own strength.
Without hesitation, she brought Su Jingzhen to the entrance of the vortex passageway.
Su Jingzhen was ecstatic.
Meanwhile, Mo Xuantian, who had been standing in the distance, watching with concern, relaxed as soon as he saw this scene.
He, of course, knew Su Jingzhen’s plan.
Seeing the two of them standing at the entrance of the vortex passageway, he knew Su Jingzhen had succeeded.
At the same time, he felt a sense of awe.
A mere Demon Sage Realm cultivator had actually managed to subdue a Demon King without a single blow, using only words.
In the next moment, Little Green exerted her power within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The passageway was instantly filled with a vast surge of world power, enveloping Su Jingzhen and Blood Demon.
Feeling this world power, Blood Demon’s expression changed again.
She grew even more excited.
“With this kind of power, I’ll surely be able to break through my current realm. Perhaps I can even join the ranks of the Ten Great Demon Kings!”
Blood Demon murmured excitedly to herself.
In the next instant, the world power grew even more intense.
Her figure vanished from the chaotic void.
When she reappeared, she was standing atop the Peak of Creation within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Su Jingzhen remained standing in his original spot.
A look of relief washed over his face.
“The little Blood Empress Demon King has been captured!”
