Chapter 8 — My Destiny Is Seventh Brother

When we separated, the lake surface suddenly stirred. Tiet Mac's face turned serious: "Someone touched the barrier!" He quickly pulled me back, the Han Tinh Sword appeared in his hand.

“Stay here, don't move.”

After speaking, he turned into a beam of light and rushed towards the lake. I nervously grabbed the corner of my shirt, suddenly, the words appeared: 【Danger! Quickly activate the Heart Protection Jade!】 I unconsciously grabbed the jade pendant on my chest. A shadow passed through the window!

“Little beauty, come with me!”

The man in black! Before I could scream, I was covered by a black mist. Before losing consciousness, I heard Tiet Mac's angry scream:

“Let her go!”

The feeling of biting coldness woke me up. Opening my eyes, I discovered I was lying on a bloody platform. Wrists and ankles were locked with black chains, making it impossible to move.

“Are you awake?”

The person dressed in black stood next to the stage, under the hood was a pale face.

“Where is this?” I try to ask.

“This is the forbidden area of the Blood Demon Sect.” He smiled strangely, revealing sharp teeth, "Don't be afraid, the pain will stop soon."

Around the platform is a pool of blood, the stench makes me nauseous. Far away on the cliff are lamps made from human skin, emitting an oily green light. My chest is heavy, the heart guard (heart guard jade) has been taken away from me and placed in a black incense burner next to the altar.

"Tiet Mac will soon find this place." I try to calm down.

The man in black smiled strangely: "What if we find it? The Blood Demon Great Formation has been completed, even the Tien Quan will have to die!" He began to form seals, the characters on the platform lit up one after another. Pain immediately came! It feels like thousands of needles are piercing through my body, every inch of flesh is screaming.

“Ah—!”

I arched my body in pain, the iron chain made a squeaking sound.

“The origin of Xuan Yin is hidden deep,” the man in black licked his lips, “But it's okay, I have plenty of time to extract it.”

Pain after pain, my eyes blurred, I almost fainted. Suddenly, a warm feeling spread from my chest. The incense burner with heart guard vibrated gently, a golden light shone out! The golden light gradually condensed into a human shape. Tiet Mac! No, not his full form, but a translucent, translucent figure.

“To Li!” The figure called out.

The words appeared in front of my eyes: 【Little fairy, this is my divine soul clone, please persevere!】 The man in black's face changed: "Tien Quan's divine soul clone?!" He immediately increased his strength, blood flowing on the altar. The pain got worse and worse, I bit my lip until it bled, drops of blood dripping down my chin. Tiet Mac's figure formed seals with both hands, a layer of golden shield surrounding me. The pain is greatly reduced.

“Persevere!” The figure shouted, “I will be there soon!”

The man in black smiled sinisterly: "It's late!" He bit his finger and drew a strange symbol in space.

“Demon Blood Devours Heart!”

The symbol turned into a blood snake, rushing straight towards Tiet Mac's figure! The figure was entangled by the blood snake, and the golden light quickly faded.

“No!” I struggled, the iron chain tightened on my skin.

When the figure almost disappeared, the whole cave suddenly shook violently bang!

“Bang—!”

The cliff exploded, a beam of sword light pierced the space! The man in black quickly dodged, but the sword energy still cut half of his sleeve.

“Who is it?!”

In the dust and smoke, a figure stepped down from the air. His clothes were as white as snow, his hair was as black as ink, and his eyes were filled with hatred. Tiet Mac! It's the real Tiet Mac! He held a long, transparent sword in his hand, the blade emitting purple electricity.

“You seek death!”

Three simple words, but they suddenly made the entire cave cold. The man in black took a few steps back: "No way! How did you find this place?!" Tiet Mac didn't respond, just waved his hand and pointed forward.

“Crack!”

The chains that bind us are immediately broken. I went limp and was held by him.

“Sorry, I'm late.” His voice trembled.

I weakly shook my head, wanting to say something but spit out a mouthful of blood. Tiet Mac's angry eyes flared up and he gently placed me in a safe corner.

“Wait for me a moment.”

He turned back to face the man in black, at this moment his aura completely changed. Immortal light radiated, the pressure was like an abyss. The black-clothed man's face turned pale: "You... you have restored the Immortal Monarch's strength?!" Tiet Mac laughed coldly: "Killing you is enough." The man in black suddenly took out a bloody flag and stabbed it into his heart!

“Take my blood and summon Demon Lord!”

The whole cave shook violently, the pool of blood boiled! A giant blood-colored silhouette gradually emerged. Tiet Mac smiled faintly: "A Blood Demon clone also dares to be arrogant!" He clenched his sword and recited the spell. The sword immediately emitted a brilliant light, transforming into a hundred-meter-long greatsword!

“Shut up!”

A sword slashed down, the Blood Demon clone screamed bitterly, then exploded! Each wave of energy knocked the black-clothed man away, smashing him hard against the cliff.

“No… impossible…” He spat blood, “Master said… you haven't recovered your strength yet…”

Tiet Mac stepped in front of him, the tip of the sword was close to his throat.

“Speak! Who sent you?”

The man in black smiled sinisterly: "You... will never know..." Suddenly, his body swelled up! Tiet Mac's face changed, he quickly retreated and created a barrier.

“Bang!”

The man in black committed suicide! Flesh and blood flew everywhere, but was stopped by the barrier. The dust and smoke gradually dissipated, and the cave became quiet again. Tiet Mac quickly returned to me and carefully hugged me.

“Let's go home.”

I weakly grabbed the hem of his shirt: "Are you... injured?" He shook his head, his eyes filled with worry: "Don't say anything, save your strength." When we got out of the cave, we realized that outside was a steep cliff. Tiet Mac hugged me and took a step into the air! I nervously closed my eyes, but there was no feeling of falling. Opening my eyes, I discovered we were standing on a giant sword, flying in the air. The night wind soothes, starlight and moonlight harmonize.

“Are you afraid?” He asked gently.

I shook my head and leaned against his chest: "With you here, I'm not afraid." Tiet Mac squeezed my arm and placed a kiss on my forehead. The sword flew very quickly, and not long after it arrived at Linh Tuyen Lake. In the courtyard, Tiet Mac gently placed me on the bed. He took out several types of elixir, crushed it into powder, mixed it with water and gave it to me to drink.

“The origin of Xuan Yin is damaged,” he frowned, “We need to take things slowly nursing.”

The elixir took effect, I was drowsy and wanted to sleep. In my dream, I saw a woman who looked like me. She stood on the clouds, turned her head and smiled, turning into starlight falling into my body. When I woke up, it was the next afternoon. Tiet Mac sat by the bed, closing his eyes to meditate. I gently moved and he immediately opened his eyes.

“How does it feel?”

I checked my body and was happy to find that the wound had healed more than half.

“It's better! Your medicine is really effective.”

Tiet Mac smiled: "The spiritual medicine of the upper world is of course not ordinary." He helped me sit up and gave me a cup of warm water.

“The man in black is dead, but there is someone behind him.”

I nodded: "He mentioned 'master' before he died..."

"Demon Venerable Blood Demon," Tiet Mac's face was serious, "One of the key forces of the Demon Sect."

“Why target us?”

“It's not just us,” he shook his head, “The source of Xuan Yin is the main material to refine the Demon King Banner.”

I was startled: "Ma Quan Ky?"

“A treasure that can control all demons,” he explained, “Demon Venerable Blood Demon wants to use it to unify the Demon Sect and invade the upper world.”

No wonder the person in black who said "master" won't ignore us.

“So we…”

“Don't worry,” Tiet Mac held my hand, “I have sent a message to the upper world, reinforcements will arrive soon.”
