Chapter 111: Enough Is Enough
============================================================
"This is the Fallen Immortal Ruler. It seals off the space to prevent escape."
"This is the Six Paths Annihilation. Within its range, all beings perish completely—no reincarnation or resurrection through magical artifacts."
"This is the Star River Ruler, an offensive artifact. Its technique resembles a slashing strike, with destructive power comparable to the Demon-Sealing Stele."
"And this is the Demon-Sealing Stele—basically, it's for smashing things!"
"……"
Ye Qinghan rode the black-armored warhorse he'd swindled from Dongfang Jue, carrying Li Shiyao like a little bride as they cut through the bustling marketplace.
Within the towering walls built from piled bones lay the powerful Liu Clan, a family founded through bloodshed. Their empire was forged by the clan's ancient ancestor wielding a single sword.
With every preparation complete, the iron hooves of the warhorse ground to a halt before the Liu family mansion. This was the vengeful specter demanding its due, the retribution of Ye Yama.
"My name is Ye Qinghan. Summon Liu Jingcheng to meet me."
"Who the hell are you to address me so boldly…"
It was a standard plotline. Ye Qinghan felt he could tell what the guard dog was about to say just by looking at his face!
The response he received was equally predictable. Unless instructed otherwise by his master, Ye Qinghan rarely showed mercy.
The rest of the words died on his lips. Ye Yanyang never joked around.
Ye Qinghan was used to it. Gatekeepers were accustomed to bullying others, but she wouldn't give anyone any face.
Ye Qinghan had already introduced Li Shiyao to the Liu family. Knowing they were enemies, Li Shiyao had shed all pity. Now she merely followed her senior sister, her face radiating a false air of authority, full of bravado!
"You actually dared to show up! Guards! Bring them both! I want them alive!"
The one who arrived wasn't Liu Jingcheng, but Liu Mingxuan. He hadn't forgotten the incident at Drunken Immortal Pavilion last time!
So what if they were prodigies?
Liu Mingxuan twisted his mouth into a sneer, finding these two utterly beyond arrogant!
"Ladies, have you taken a wrong turn? This is the Liu residence! Once you step through these gates, you've entered the gates of hell. Don't even think about leaving!"
"I'll take good care of you both!"
As he spoke, Liu Mingxuan couldn't help but gaze at the two stunning beauties with keen interest. He was absolutely delighted at that moment!
Last time, Ye Qinghan had disguised herself as a man, and he had already thought the Holy Maiden was truly a peerless beauty in this world! Now, seeing her in person, Ye Qinghan proved to be no less stunning!
Now it was like getting two for the price of one—something he'd searched high and low for, yet found without effort! Both had come right to him!
Liu Mingxuan could already envision how he would torment these two celestial beings. He wouldn't let them enjoy a single moment of comfort until they understood that these bodies existed solely to serve men!
Ye Qinghan pursed her lips. "Shiyao, did you see that? From now on, if anyone looks at you like that, don't think twice—just kill them outright."
Shiyao nodded blankly. Though surrounded by dozens of Liu family men, neither showed a trace of panic!
Compared to the last time they were surrounded, the situation was entirely different now!
This time, Ye Qinghan was fully prepared. Moreover, she had now reached the late Foundation Establishment stage!
And with Shiyu, his loyal sister, by his side, Ye Qinghan was confident he could exchange blows with the Heavenly Dao's rules themselves!
"Among the beasts lusting after us sisters, you're at least honest and straightforward. But daring to stand and speak to me? Have you had enough of living?"
"Attack…"
Before Liu Mingxuan could finish his sentence, the coffin-like sword case crashed down. As it unfolded like a folding fan, it mercilessly reaped the lives of the Liu family members. Regardless of cultivation level, none possessed the strength to resist this sword case!
In the Trial Hall, Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes. Merely severed meridians, over forty broken bones, intracranial hemorrhage, and nearly having his soul scattered—for the villain Su Cheng, it was nothing worth mentioning!
Surprisingly able to straighten his body, Su Cheng wanted to light a cigarette to calm himself. He genuinely couldn't fathom why he'd come here in the first place.
For a measly five hundred bucks, he'd been tricked by the system into saving the world—only to find himself trapped.
He was just an ordinary person, unable to even afford the interest on five hundred yuan, yet the system forced him into deeds so outrageous they wouldn't dare air them on TV.
This time, though, he had no formidable powers. He wasn't a domineering CEO, nor a war god returning to the city, nor did he possess supreme immortal techniques. He was just a useless master.
[System, got any smokes?]
[Got it. 500 system points.]
[You bastard… give me a pack…]
As he tremblingly raised the unbranded cigarette to his lips, Su Cheng realized something was terribly wrong…
【Tongzi… light it up.】
【2000 system points.】
【You fucking… can't afford to live anymore, huh? This is robbery!】
Su Cheng hesitated for a long time, but he still exchanged two thousand system points for one. It wasn't that his injuries weren't severe enough; it was that Su Cheng really wanted a cigarette.
Come to think of it, it had been ages since his last cigarette. How long exactly? He couldn't even recall.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself with two endearing yet perpetually troublesome disciples.
He prided himself on being prepared for anything, yet now he was being swept along by one complication after another before he could even think.
A fox mother who could easily manipulate him to death, a saintess so foolish she couldn't function without him—both clearly trouble magnets…
As if destined by fate, the vixen was unexpectedly sensible and obedient, while the saintly maiden knew her limits.
[Tongzi, I've had enough.]
The system remained silent. Even the artificial intelligence seemed unable to grasp Su Cheng's meaning, nor did it know what he intended to do.
【Even if I lose, I want to draw my weapons and fight them. Even true gods have weaknesses, don't they?】
【I've already devised a way to protect my two disciples. By harnessing power beyond this world, I too can wield dominion.】
【Ding~ Old buddy, the system can't offer any assistance with this matter.】
【Thanks.】
Su Cheng pushed himself upright. At this moment, he finally understood.
This so-called system was nothing more than a caged bird, unable to control its own fate. Even its words were monitored. Hmph.
But Su Cheng had no time to pity it. Weren't his two disciples pitiful enough?
Using the Heavenly Treasure God-Slaying Spear as a walking stick, Su Cheng stepped outside.
"Hey~ Sister Yulan, just like I said, I'm back."
Yu Lan leapt down from the stone steps, staring at Su Cheng in a daze. He looked like a tortured death row inmate, his body covered in wounds.
Bloodstains had congealed into black patches on his long robe, and dark crimson scabs covered the wounds across his body. His once-transparent protective soft armor hung loosely at his waist, the outline of the chest plate flickering faintly.
"I knew you wouldn't die! Hmph!"
Seemingly forgetting her status as the Dragon King, Yu Lan stepped forward to support the handsome young man, who towered over her. The imperial weapon lay discarded nearby.
The man before her now was undeniably more captivating than the imperial weapon—after all, he was a handsome young man?
Su Cheng's weight was heavier than anticipated, but that was nothing to the Dragon King.
"Sister Yulan, don't touch me. I'm filthy and will soil your dress."
Yu Lan chuckled softly. She wasn't a little dragon anymore.
The man before her possessed courage, wisdom, compassion, and honor—qualities rare even among demons.
"I've taken a liking to you. Stay and be my man. I'll provide for you and save your disciple."
