Tao Qian spoke three sentences through the mouth of the Beautiful Corpse, the first two revealing the shameful secrets that Tang Xianzong would not dare to speak of.
Yet the third sentence was a secret that Tao Qian glimpsed from the exotic treasure, the Heavenly Demon Slaying God Blood Transformation Divine Needle, in his hand.
This was also Tao Qian's style of fighting: if he didn't take action, he let it be.
But once he harbored the intent to kill, he naturally had no scruples; if he could execute the heart, then he would execute the heart.
As the three sentences were spoken, even the Bai Qin Old Demon, who had always been by Tao Qian's side, could not help but cast a surprised look, thinking to himself, "This youngster is clearly a Spirit Treasure True Cultivator, how can he so easily utter such venomous language to provoke others' Heart Demons?"
Though surprised and taken aback, Bai Qin did not make any move to stop him.
The two had long reached an agreement on the matter of assassinating Tang Xianzong, cooperating with absolute sincerity and without hindrance at this moment.
When Tao Qian's three sentences echoed across the battlefield, the originally arrogant and tyrannical Tang Xianzong suffered a heavy blow.
His marriage with Princess Yin Susu of the Devil God Army started off beautiful and perfect, until not long after, he realized he couldn't satisfy Yin Susu, and after much effort, he had no choice but to let Yin Susu keep male courtesans. The rumors and reputations that brewed from this were well known by many high-ranking officers in the Devil God Army, but no one dared to speak of it, much less proclaim it in public to shame him.
Furthermore, the matter of him being the illegitimate son of a Taiping Army General was already a secret, not acknowledged by Zhang Yuanji due to differences in principles – a secret within a secret.
And the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Nightmare Technique was simply a matter known only to him and his wife.
Now, all three secrets had been exposed.
With a bit of thought, Tang Xianzong felt as if a green light surged over his head, shaking his Divine Soul to the point where his spirit seemed to explode.
With blood rushing to his head, he clenched his teeth and roared from the bottom of his heart, "Yin Susu has harmed me!"
He even lost control of the thousands of arms made of flesh that he had conjured; half of them, subconsciously tightening, crushed the Demons performing in the palm of his hand into meat paste, flowing between his fingers. This brutal scene immediately awakened many of the citizens of Seeking Immortal County who were transformed into Demons.
But at that moment, Tang Xianzong no longer cared.
He suddenly turned around, and an explosive aura of Devil and Demon erupted.
The Demon Cage that stretched for thousands of miles seemed to shift instantly, capturing the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, manifesting the Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Dharma Form, within.
"Are you seeking death?"
Amidst his roar, thousands of flesh arms extended infinitely, grasping the Beautiful Corpse with the might of capturing mountains, wrapping her tightly.
The Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother's Dharma Body was enormous, but compared to Tang Xianzong's Devil God Dharma Form, she seemed like a tiny speck, easily seized.
The enraged Tang Xianzong didn't care whether the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva was an allied Evil Demon, nor the origins of her backing, nor did he bother to ponder the reasons for this Female Demon going mad.
He simply used his thousands of arms to pin down the Beautiful Corpse, kneading and squeezing her.
Looking at the situation, it seemed Tang Xianzong wanted to forcibly grind the Beautiful Corpse into a pure ball, made solely of blood, brain pulp, and crushed bones, and then stuff it into the gaping maw filled with tusks, blood vessels, and tumorous growths, to be voraciously chewed and delightfully swallowed through the Dark Rift.
As the saying goes, what goes around comes around!
Back then, in the territory of Iron Buddha Mountain, the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva had done the same.
Being publicly exposed and triggering his Heart Demon, Tang Xianzong was genuinely a bit insane now.
As he squeezed, he continued to roar incessantly:
"The Ancestor God Forbidden Technique is shattered, enough to prove that the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty's lifespan has ended, and millions of Human Clan are in imminent peril, with the territory itself facing the risk of collapse."
"I, Tang Xianzong, am chosen by destiny, the predestined number one Devil Lord."
"Only my path is the way to save the world."
"The Human World Dao is past, from today onward, we shall follow the Demon Path that I, Tang Xianzong, have pioneered."
"Whoever blocks me, I shall devour."
As Tang Xianzong roared to here, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Although the Beautiful Corpse's Cultivation was decent, and after he secretly bestowed upon her the Heavenly Demon Skill, she even became an Old Demon who practiced Buddha, Demon, and Devil.
But that still couldn't change the fact that she was just a Cavernous Mystery Realm Cultivator; she couldn't possibly hold out this long and not be turned into a ball and stuffed into the rift after being captured by him.
During the three or four breaths he was squeezing, the Dharma Body of the Beautiful Corpse had already become misshapen, but under that skin, there was always immense strength contesting his blood-flesh arms.
Even more strange, suffering such pain, the Beautiful Corpse did not utter any cries or screams at all.
This was extremely unreasonable!
Realizing this, Tang Xianzong abruptly came to his senses.
With a cry of alarm, he looked down just in time to see the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, now bent and broken, with Buddha hands holding various Magic Artifacts folded up, the golden Big Peacock phantom had dissipated from who knows when, and the seductive head had changed shape and was embedded in the abdomen, face down, presenting her sleek and fair back towards him.
But Tang Xianzong felt no temptation, because at this moment, the back bizarrely split open.
A foreign Daoist leaped out from the Beautiful Corpse's back, accompanied by Buddha Light and sacred sounds.
This Daoist had a handsome and refined appearance, complemented by Buddha Light, but his own body emitted many Immortal Spirit Qi, stepping on auspicious clouds and surrounded by sweet rain. Seeing him laugh heartily and ascend through Sky-controlling, despite how odd the scene was, be they Demons or Cultivators,
The moment they saw this man, they couldn't help but think to themselves: what a true Daoist practitioner!
Just as this praise arose in their hearts, they immediately heard heart-piercing words of condemnation from the young Daoist's mouth:
"Presumably this is Daoist Tang Xianzong, Susu often mentions you to me."
