This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

One has to know, once he makes a move within the Royal City, he surely cannot escape the fate of falling.

So, in such circumstances, exchanging him as a pawn seems too wasteful.

After all, despite Ying Jie having quite a number of Seventh Grade dead soldiers, there are very few who can achieve initial Demon Marshal combat power.

Moreover, the method of this assassination is extraordinarily different.

He is required to make a larger commotion when making a move and cannot kill Qing Ge with one strike, leaving Qing Ge to die in confusion.

His actions must be slower, giving Qing Ge enough time to react and respond.

The Shadow Tower is confident that no matter how it fusses or in what way, it can kill Qing Ge.

But he can't understand the point of such redundant actions.

Is it to torment Qing Ge?

This can no longer be called an assassination; calling it an open interception would be more fitting.

It's quite outrageous.

But as a dead soldier, no matter how outrageous the orders from above, he can only grit his teeth and accept them.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and focused his mind.

The Shadow Tower is looking for a suitable opportunity to strike.

At this moment, he saw his target, "Qing Ge," chatting with a shopmaid, who then led him deeper into the shop, seemingly about to discuss some big business.

"No time to lose, I can't delay any longer!" The Shadow Tower made up his mind.

......

On the other side, Lu Qingshan was still pondering what business Ao Ren Demon Venerable might have with him.

Deep in his heart, some bad premonitions always lingered.

"Could it be that my behavior in Jian Luo King City was too different from before, arousing Ao Ren Demon Venerable's suspicion?"

Others might see his changes as a breakout after years of hiding his strength.

However, Ao Ren Demon Venerable, being Qing Ge's biological father, undoubtedly knows Qing Ge very well.

Will he thus suspect "Qing Ge"'s identity? Lu Qingshan is not very sure.

Especially since Ao Ren is a distinguished Demon Venerable.

This status also makes Lu Qingshan feel immense pressure.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Hmm?

The next moment, Lu Qingshan's eyes widened in surprise.

Beside him, the Demonic Cultivator who was chatting happily with the shopmaid, suddenly exploded with a dark blade light, slashing in his direction.

The distance was so close, and his mind was preoccupied with other matters, that this sudden blade light truly startled Lu Qingshan.

The one attacking had terrifying strength.

Lu Qingshan felt that he had no way to avoid this blade light.

"Seventh Grade, and definitely not an ordinary Seventh Grade, it must be a Demon Marshal combat power Demonic Cultivator!" Lu Qingshan's mind was in a storm.

Strangely and luckily, this blade light wasn't aimed at him.

The violent blade light directly sliced through the waist of the Serpent Demon Tribe maid beside Lu Qingshan who hadn't reacted yet.

The maid's seductive waist instantly split in half.

Her upper body flew high, her expression still full of shock, as if she hadn't realized she had been cut in half.

"Qing Ge, prepare to die!"

After killing the maid with one strike, the Demonic Cultivator roared furiously.

He raised his long blade again, this time slashing it towards Lu Qingshan.

"He's coming for me!" Lu Qingshan realized.

He wanted to run, but there was no way to escape.

The blade light was too fast, and its power too strong. If he ran, it would be like presenting his back for others to cut at will.

The attacker is a Seventh Grade Demonic Cultivator.

Whereas he is only a Fifth Realm Cultivator.

Although now he can easily defeat enemies above his realm.

But escaping from an enemy two realms higher is still impossible for him.

If a Seventh Grade Demonic Cultivator intercepts and kills a Fifth Realm Cultivator, and the Fifth Realm Cultivator still manages to save his life without external help, then is there even a point for the Demon Race's cultivation system to exist?

This is a certain death situation.

Only by using the Sword Token given to him by Xia Daoyun can he save himself,

There is no other way.

However, Lu Qingshan also knew that in such a public place, the moment he used the Sword Token, his identity would be exposed.

Once his identity was exposed, his fate wouldn't be better either.

It's just a matter of dying sooner or later.

"Living a bit longer is still living. If I don't use the Sword Token now, I'm truly finished." Lu Qingshan immediately resolved.

He would never give up hope at any moment.

Endure the difficulties one by one.

Solve the current difficulty first.

Thinking this way, the Sword Token appeared in his palm.

Just as he was about to activate the Sword Token.

Boom!

An extremely dazzling blood-colored arrow shot out with unimaginable speed, even faster than his activation of the Sword Token.

The blood arrow released a heavy bloody aura, like a cold electric light piercing through the void

Rumble.

The blood-colored arrow passed by Lu Qingshan and struck directly at the Shadow Tower.

It contained terrifying power.

The Shadow Tower's dim eyes were filled with the blood light of the blood arrow, with a look of disbelief flashing through them.

His instinctive desire to survive made him summon his Divine Demon Body.

Thick layers of black mist surged out from his body.

However, the power of the blood arrow was too terrifying, his resistance had the tiniest effect.

In an instant, the Shadow Tower's body was overwhelmed by the blood light.
