#19 - Qing Qian? Demon King!
After realizing that the Giant Fox Demon Emperor couldn't harm him for the time being, Qin Buyi stopped paying attention to her.
He shifted his gaze from Qingqian to the glowing Star Core.
"Hey! Human, why aren't you talking?"
Qingqian saw that Qin Buyi was more interested in the Star Core than in her, and her tone was slightly dissatisfied.
Qin Buyi came to the Star Core, reached out and grabbed it, using force with both hands.
The Star Core didn't move at all, and strands of star power emerged, one end connected to the Star Core, and the other end connected to Qingqian below.
"This is going to be difficult!" Qin Buyi thought to himself upon seeing this scene.
Qingqian was trapped here, obviously because of the Star Core's doing.
Qin Buyi frowned, facing two problems.
One was how to take the Star Core away, and the other was how to leave alive in front of Qingqian, this Demon Emperor, after taking the Star Core.
Qin Buyi looked at the fourth-order Teleportation Talisman in his storage space, and immediately had an idea of how to leave.
(Fourth-order Teleportation Talisman Description: Randomly selects a direction, and can reach ten thousand miles away in an instant.)
Qingqian watched Qin Buyi frown, and covered her mouth below, giggling.
"Human, if that worked, I wouldn't be trapped here by this damned thing for three hundred years."
"But after my three hundred years of research, it's not impossible to take this thing away."
"It's just that this method requires your assistance," Qingqian said.
Qin Buyi asked in confusion, "Your cultivation is far beyond mine, why would you need my assistance?"
Qingqian looked at the Star Core above, and said in a calm and helpless voice, "This method needs to be implemented from the outside, and as you can see, I'm trapped here and can't move at all."
"What method are you talking about?" Qin Buyi asked vigilantly.
"Come closer to me, don't always be so wary, I don't eat people."
Qingqian's expression showed a hint of dissatisfaction, she took out a red handkerchief from her bosom and said, "I have a treasure here that can help you take away the Star Core."
After a pause, Qingqian continued, "But, my cultivation is now restricted by this Star Core, so you need to come down and get it yourself."
Qin Buyi didn't move, and remained silent for a long time before saying with certainty, "You're lying to me."
Exposed by Qin Buyi in person, Qingqian didn't show any embarrassment and smiled, "Hehe, how did you see through it?"
"A dignified Demon Emperor, even if her cultivation is restricted, wouldn't be reduced to the point where she can't even control objects."
Qin Buyi said with an icy expression, from the very beginning, the Giant Fox Demon Emperor had one goal, which was to get him to go down.
Looking at the star power connecting the Star Core and the Giant Fox Demon Emperor, Qin Buyi instantly understood why the Giant Fox Demon Emperor so eagerly wanted him to go down.
"Giant Fox Demon Emperor, from failing to charm me at the beginning, to now trying to trick me into going down, I'm afraid the purpose is to have me replace you, right?"
"What are you talking about, I don't understand," Qingqian said, her eyes flashing for a moment after hearing Qin Buyi's words, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Really don't understand? If I'm not mistaken, this Star Core is probably treating you as nourishment, constantly drawing energy from your body."
"The reason you want me to go down is very simple, you just want me to replace you as nourishment for the Star Core, and then you seize the opportunity to leave, good means, good plan."
Qingqian watched Qin Buyi speak out almost exactly what she was thinking, and her expression finally changed.
"What a clever human, that's indeed what I was thinking. How about this, I have many treasures and spirit stones here, as long as you come down, these things will be yours."
"Not only that, but if you want... I... can also be yours, and I guarantee you won't be in any life-threatening danger," Qingqian said enticingly.
Qin Buyi didn't move.
Go down? How could he, even a Demon Emperor surpassing the Transformation God realm was being sucked dry by the Star Core and haggling with a Nascent Soul realm cultivator.
If he went down, without any accident, he would be sucked dry and die in a few breaths.
Seeing that Qin Buyi was still unmoved, Qingqian tore off her always amiable mask, and said with a murderous and cruel look in her eyes:
"Human, don't be ungrateful. I have already marked your aura, and one day when I leave this place, I will definitely skin you alive and pull out your bones."
"Now, as long as you come down, the treasures and spirit stones on me are still yours, but if you don't..."
Before Qingqian could finish her words, Qin Buyi interrupted her with an icy expression, "Too much nonsense, annoying!"
"Human, you are... courting death!"
Qingqian was angered by Qin Buyi, a mere Nascent Soul realm cultivator, back when she wasn't trapped here, wasn't even worthy of carrying her shoes, yet now he dared to treat her like this.
"Roar!"
After a roar, a giant fox with nine tails and a snow-white body appeared on the ground.
The giant fox's pupils looked at Qin Buyi with bloodlust and cruelty.
Qin Buyi looked at Qingqian in the sky with interest, and said in an indifferent tone:
"So this is your true form, this fur will definitely be very warm as a hat."
After speaking, he looked at the Star Core and stopped paying attention to Qingqian.
Qingqian stared at Qin Buyi on the ground, if eyes could kill, Qin Buyi would probably have died many times over by now.
"Since conventional methods are useless, let's try this," Qin Buyi thought to himself after thinking for a long time.
"Clang!"
The Killing Life Blade was drawn from its scabbard and slashed fiercely at the Star Core.
"Boom!"
After the blade collided with the Star Core, a loud noise came from the underground cave.
Retracting the blade and looking at the Star Core that hadn't left a trace, Qin Buyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was afraid of breaking the Star Core, but now it seemed that the Star Core was more solid than he had imagined.
"Human, what... what are you going to do."
Qingqian said in a somewhat panicked tone, Qin Buyi's actions just now startled her.
If the energy contained in this Star Core was blown up, not only would she and Qin Buyi not survive, but even most of the Falling Star Mountain Range would be destroyed.
Qin Buyi seemed to be deaf to Qingqian's words below.
"Killing Life·Massacre!"
Concentrating all his strength on the high-speed vibrating Killing Life Blade, the Killing Life Blade slashed at the Star Core again.
"Boom!"
The loud noise from this slash was several times stronger than the first slash.
Not only that, but a huge rebounding force came from the Star Core, and Qin Buyi was knocked back several meters in the air before barely stopping his retreat.
"Human, are you crazy! If this thing explodes, you and I will be reduced to ashes."
Qingqian said anxiously below, the reason why she was so anxious was partly because she was worried about the Star Core exploding.
On the other hand, after Qin Buyi's two slashes, the star power connected to her from the Star Core, in order to protect itself, obviously accelerated the speed of drawing power from her body.
Although these two slashes could be said to have consumed very little of her, the sense of crisis lingering in her heart made her very uneasy.
"Killing Life·Annihilation!"
The Killing Life Blade formed a crescent moon, enveloping the Star Core.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
"Clang!"...
The crescent moon's dense offensive dissipated, and the Star Core was still as before, without moving at all.
"Killing Life·Massacre!"
"Boom!"
"Killing Life·Annihilation!"
"Clang!" "Clang!"...
"Massacre!" "Annihilation!"
......
In just half an hour, Qin Buyi, holding the Killing Life Blade, launched thousands of attacks at the Star Core.
He only stopped attacking and rested in place to recover until he was physically exhausted.
"Damn human, this madman! If I can get out of here, I will definitely kill him!" Qingqian cursed in her heart as she watched Qin Buyi.
Qin Buyi attacked thousands of times, and the Star Core constantly drew power from her.
It was as if Qin Buyi's attacks indirectly landed on her, and the most uncomfortable thing was that she could only passively endure it and could not actively fight back.
Moreover, the accumulation of these thousands of attacks, although not a big drain on her, was enough to attract attention.
A quarter of an hour later.
Qin Buyi recovered his strength, stood up, and began the second round of offensive.
"Killing Life·Massacre!"
"Clang!"
"Killing Life·Annihilation!"
"Clang!" "Clang!"...
"Annihilation!" "Massacre!"
Half an hour later, Qin Buyi's offensive stopped again as his physical strength was almost exhausted.
"Human, it's useless, your attacks are in vain. Give up!"
Qingqian endured the anger in her heart and persuaded with a smile that was no better than crying.
Qin Buyi looked at Qingqian with some curiosity and asked, "What I do is my business, what does it have to do with you?"
Qingqian turned her head and stopped talking, if this human in front of her knew that attacking the Star Core was also consuming her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A day passed quickly, and Qin Buyi carried out a total of tens of thousands of attacks on the Star Core this day.
There was no distinction between day and night in the underground cave, and Qin Buyi judged by feeling that it should be night now.
His body flew towards the top of the cave, and soon his figure disappeared from Qingqian's eyes.
"He's leaving... leaving like this? Has he given up?"
Qingqian looked at Qin Buyi's departure, feeling slightly lost in her heart.
Qin Buyi was the first human she had seen in the hundreds of years she had been trapped here.
Although her heart was full of murderous intent towards this human, when she thought that after Qin Buyi left, she would have to guard this loneliness for who knows how long, she couldn't help but feel some fluctuations in her heart.
