"Donor, you!!!"
Master Randeng exclaimed in shock as he saw Ye Ling actually kill Mutou Saburo and Mutou Yorinori, his eyes filled with horror.
He never expected that Ye Ling would dare to go through with it, and without the slightest hesitation!
Ye Ling's disregard for life was truly terrifying!
"Such a devil..." Master Randeng was extremely shocked. Before he could recover from Ye Ling's ruthless methods, he noticed another graceful figure flash past him!
The young girl darted past Master Randeng, wielding the Dragon-Marked Staff, and charged towards Ye Ling, "Devil, perish!"
Master Randeng's expression changed drastically as he saw the girl rush directly in front of Ye Ling, and he shouted sternly, "Diao'er, no!"
Unfortunately, Master Randeng's shout was too late. The young girl named Diao'er had already reached Ye Ling.
The Dragon-Marked Staff smashed down fiercely!
Ye Ling smiled and shook his head as he saw the anger in Diao'er's eyes, "Truly a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. To charge directly is commendable courage, or perhaps foolish recklessness?"
"Xiao Yue, don't learn from this girl. With such a temperament, she's wasting such good talent."
As Ye Ling spoke, demonic energy surged from his body, transforming into a giant claw that fiercely grasped Diao'er!
*Bang!*
The Dragon-Marked Staff was instantly shattered by Ye Ling's demonic energy. Diao'er was squeezed in mid-air by the giant demonic claw, her arms directly snapped!
"Let her go!!!"
Seeing this, Master Randeng's heart was filled with anxiety. He quickly clasped his hands together, and the Buddha statue behind him began to move, its giant palm striking towards Ye Ling.
"Want to save this girl?"
Ye Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile as he saw Master Randeng's Buddha statue attack. He pulled Diao'er behind him, and demonic energy rapidly condensed into a scythe in front of him, which he swung through the air!
A black light flashed.
Master Randeng's Buddha statue was split in half by Ye Ling's scythe!
"Pfft!!!"
Master Randeng spat out a mouthful of blood, his kasaya torn open, revealing a hideous bloody gash from which blood splattered!
"Master!!!"
Diao'er cried out in alarm upon seeing Master Randeng severely injured. Ignoring the pain of her broken arm, she began to circulate the spiritual energy within her body with all her might, trying to break free from Ye Ling's restraint.
Unfortunately, the gap in their strength was too vast. Even with all her might, she could not budge Ye Ling's demonic claw in the slightest.
When she followed Master Randeng wandering the martial world, she often couldn't control her impulsive temper, leading her into dangerous situations repeatedly.
Although Master Randeng had reprimanded her many times for this, she always managed to escape danger thanks to Master Randeng's power, thus she always took his scolding as empty words and continued to act as she pleased.
Now, she had encountered Ye Ling and fallen into danger once again. When she realized that Master Randeng was no match for Ye Ling either, she truly understood how foolish she had been!
There was no hot-bloodedness in the circle of extraordinary individuals; only slaughter and cruelty.
Without Master Randeng protecting her, she would not have lived until now!
And now, she understood that she would have to pay the price for her foolishness!
Her recklessness had harmed both herself and Master.
Master Randeng circulated his power, suppressing his injuries, and then looked at Ye Ling with a pale face, saying in a deep voice, "Donor, you are already burdened with karma. Do not make another mistake!"
"That girl is still young. If you truly wish to kill, let this old monk take her place!"
Diao'er said anxiously, "Master, please don't do this! If you also fall into this devil's hands, everything will be over!"
"Devil, devil... I'm getting a bit tired of hearing that." Ye Ling yawned, and the giant demonic claw behind him tightened again, causing Diao'er to cry out in pain once more!
The pain of her bones cracking continuously assaulted her nerves!
If the giant demonic claw tightened even a little more, Diao'er would be crushed to death!
Seeing this, Master Randeng quickly said, "Donor, please stop! This old monk is willing to exchange!"
After Ye Ling had shattered his Buddha statue with one move, he understood that he had no ability to rescue Diao'er from Ye Ling's grasp!
Although he still had trump cards that might defeat Ye Ling, he absolutely could not guarantee Diao'er's survival!
Ye Ling smiled as he saw the anxiety in Master Randeng's eyes, "Actually, I have no interest in either of your lives. If you can tell me some information, I will let her go."
Master Randeng said quickly, "What does the donor wish to ask?"
Ye Ling asked, "Do you know of Takamagahara?"
"Takamagahara?"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Master Randeng's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly calmed down, his shock quickly replaced by confusion. He asked, "Is the donor referring to the divine realm where gods reside in Japanese mythology?"
Although Master Randeng concealed it well, Ye Ling still keenly caught the change in his eyes and smiled lightly, "Old monk, don't pretend to be ignorant. I still need to attend Mutou Masao's banquet, and time is precious. Either you tell me all the information you know, or watch this girl die."
As he spoke, Ye Ling pulled Diao'er in front of him again, and a trace of demonic energy emanated from the giant demonic claw holding her, coiling around her neck, ready to pierce it at any moment.
Diao'er felt the slight sting on her neck and gritted her teeth, saying to Master Randeng, "Master, please don't mind me and fall for his trick!"
"I can die, but you must kill this devil!"
Ye Ling ignored Diao'er's cries and looked at Master Randeng, smiling, "So, have you considered it?"
Hearing Ye Ling's question, Master Randeng fell silent, his fists clenched, trembling slightly, as if struggling with indecision.
Seeing Master Randeng's reaction, Ye Ling knew he had struck gold.
Regardless of whether Master Randeng was a member of Takamagahara or not, judging by his current reaction, he must have a close relationship with the Takamagahara faction!
From Master Randeng, Ye Ling believed he could obtain satisfactory information.
Master Randeng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after a few cycles, he calmed his emotions. He looked at Ye Ling and said, "This old monk agrees to tell the donor all information about Takamagahara, but only if the donor releases Diao'er."
Ye Ling said, "Of course, once you speak, I will release her."
Master Randeng shook his head, "No, the donor releases her first. After Diao'er is far from here, this old monk will tell you all the information I know."
"Donor, please rest assured, the Chu family does not speak falsehoods."
Ye Ling said, "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."
Master Randeng said firmly, "If the donor does not agree, this old monk cannot agree. But if the donor takes her life, this old monk will kill the donor even if it costs this life! As for the information about Takamagahara, the donor will not get a single bit!"
"Is that so?"
Ye Ling gazed into Master Randeng's eyes for a moment, his lips curving slightly, and said, "In that case, I regret to say that our negotiation has failed."
As Ye Ling's words fell, a giant demonic scythe materialized out of thin air and slashed fiercely at Diao'er, instantly reaching her neck, about to decapitate her!
Seeing this, Master Randeng's pupils contracted violently. Unable to hold back any longer, he exclaimed again, "Wait!!!"
*Chiii!*
As soon as Master Randeng spoke, the demonic scythe that was slashing towards Diao'er instantly vanished into smoke!
Ye Ling's smile grew more pronounced, and he said with a laugh, "I told you, you are not qualified to negotiate terms."
"Can we begin now?"
Seeing Ye Ling's smile, a hint of despair flashed in Master Randeng's eyes. His legs went weak, and he slumped to the ground, dejectedly saying, "Alright..."
He seemed to see...
The Supreme Demon God!
