"Ah!" The Heavenly Demon let out a shrill scream, and his body instantly burst into a ball of black flames before turning into ashes and scattering in the wind.
Seeing this, the other demons were terrified and dared not linger, fleeing in all directions.
Under the sky, ravaged by the aftershocks of the battle, Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan, who had just repelled many demons, had not yet had time to catch their breath when an even more terrifying and evil aura swept in from the horizon.
This aura was like a black wave, causing space itself to distort slightly in its wake. Then, a colossal figure slowly appeared before them. It was a Great Demon King, a hundred feet tall, shrouded in black demonic energy, obscuring its features. But its two blood-red eyes, like two blood moons, radiated a chilling, malevolent light.
The appearance of the Great Heavenly Demon cast a shadow over the entire Qingyun Sect. Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan exchanged a glance, a hint of solemnity flashing in their eyes. They knew that the strength of this Great Heavenly Demon was far beyond that of the previous Heavenly Demons.
Just as Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan were preparing to face the Great Heavenly Demon again, a dazzling light shot from the horizon. When the light faded, an immortal dressed in a white robe appeared before them. This immortal was handsome, with an ethereal air, radiating a powerful yet peaceful aura. He was Huang Tian.
Huang Tian's appearance delighted Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan. They assumed Huang tian had come to help them fight the Great Heavenly Demon. However, Huang Tian did not immediately take action, but instead looked at Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan with a smile.
"Thank you both for your hard work." Huang tian's voice was like a spring breeze, making people feel very comfortable.
Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan quickly bowed, "Greetings, Immortal. May I ask what brings you here today?"
Huang Tian smiled slightly, "I have come here to help you fight against this Great Heavenly Demon. However, I have one condition before we take action."
Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan were taken aback. "What are your conditions, Immortal? Please speak freely." "My strength has been greatly diminished. I need to cultivate with a woman of high strength to recover," Immortal Huang Tian said, feigning helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan immediately became wary. Although they didn't know what Huang Tian meant by "dual cultivation," they could guess that it was definitely not simple.
"Immortal, what do you mean by dual cultivation?" Zhang Xiaofan asked in a deep voice.
Huang Tian smiled slightly, "The so-called dual cultivation is the harmony of yin and yang between men and women to improve cultivation and restore strength. I think this Miss Lu has excellent aptitude and high strength, making her the most suitable candidate for dual cultivation with me."
Upon hearing Huang Tian's words, Lu Xueqi's face immediately darkened. Although she knew a little about dual cultivation, she also knew it was an extremely private matter that required mutual consent. She and Zhang Xiaofan were deeply in love; how could she possibly agree to dual cultivation with someone else?
"Immortal, I'm sorry, I already have a husband and cannot grant your request," Lu Xueqi said firmly.
Upon hearing Lu Xueqi's words, Huang Tian's smile vanished instantly. His eyes turned icy. "Miss Lu, you should think this through. The Great Heavenly Demon is right before you, and with the strength of the two of you, you are no match for him. If I don't help, your Qingyun Sect may be destroyed."
Hearing Huang Tian's words, Lu Xueqi's heart wavered. She knew Huang Tian was telling the truth; with their current strength, they were indeed no match for the Great Heavenly Demon. But the idea of her cultivating with someone else was something she simply couldn't bring herself to do.
"Immortal, is there no other way?" Lu Xueqi asked.
Huang Tian shook her head. "There is no other way. Only by cultivating with me can I recover my strength and help you fight against the Great Heavenly Demon."
