Chapter 0019 – This Summer’s Us – Definitely Returning

Father said, “The Black Devil’s Sword is what suits you.”

“You really don’t know your son, do you, sword?”

I slowly drew the Black Demon Sword.

A cold aura instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Demon Hall, I didn’t inject any internal force, it was purely the aura emanating from the sword itself.

The moment I gripped the hilt of the sword, I knew that it belonged to me, that it fit me like no other.

“Will this be too expensive?”

Sima Ming replied on his father’s behalf, “It’s not expensive at all, the issue of the Demon Monarch has always been the most difficult problem for this sect.”

“You mean you threw this hot potato at me?”

“I didn’t think you’d handle it so cleanly.”

Sima Ming sighed once again, “Sect Leader, did you already anticipate this outcome?”

Father shook his head.

“I just hope that he doesn’t get into trouble and comes back safe and sound.”

I know that’s not what my father thought.

He believed in me, that’s why he sent me, he knew that I had practiced the Flying Sword Technique, and he also knew that I had taken the Demon Essence Elixir, so he believed that I wouldn’t lose easily, of course, he shouldn’t have thought that I would kill the Demon Monarch.

I know why father gave me the sword, he was sending a message to the Blood Heavenly Sword Demon:

–I have recognized his merit, at least in this case, and forbid anyone to touch him.

This was a silent warning, and the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon should understand what he meant.

“Thank you father.”

Holding the sword in both hands, I bowed to my father and then left the Heavenly Demon Hall.

On the way back to my place, someone called out to me.

“Sword Prince, the weather is so nice, why don’t you sit down and rest for a while?”

The Blood Sky Blade Demon sat in the open space in front of the garden.

I knew he wouldn’t let me off easy.

I walked up to him and sat down across from him, his eyes fell on the Black Demon Sword at my waist, I could feel that he clenched his teeth, he didn’t dare to do anything to me even though he hated me to the bone.

“This summer, it’s supposed to be hot.”

As soon as my words fell, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon roared, “You milquetoast brat! How dare you sneak attack my brother and kill him? Today, I’m going to break you into pieces and sacrifice you to my brother!”

A powerful demonic aura erupted from him, and the flowers in the garden withered instantly, such a powerful force was hidden in his thin body.

I mobilized my internal energy against the demonic aura, trying to stay calm.

Suddenly, the demonic aura disappeared, and the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said with a smile, “I should say that, right?”

He tried to poke me in the waist again with the hilt of the Heaven Destroying Sword.

I blocked the hilt of my sword with my palm and roared out as well, “You old undead! Who are you to break the rules of this sect and enrich yourselves? If you dare to take revenge for that corrupt brother of yours, I’ll beat you to pieces!”

I smiled back and added, “I should say that, shouldn’t I?”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon froze for a moment, then let out a loud laugh.

“Hahahahaha!”

His laughter was deafening, and even the Demons patrolling in the distance looked over.

Suddenly, he stopped laughing and his face regained its calmness, as if nothing had just happened; his moods changed so quickly.

“For my sake, can’t you leave him alone?”

“If he knew he was wrong and corrected himself, I might have been lenient and let him resign from his official position, but his behavior has violated the bottom line, no, he doesn’t have a bottom line at all.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon nodded, how could he not know what his brother had done? He wasn’t some unquestioning person.

“You know about the corruption within the Demon Army, right?”

“I know.”

“Why didn’t you stop it?”

“He doesn’t listen to me, and besides, I’m no good.”

I didn’t think that he would come clean about his relationship with his brother.

“I have to be careful.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon was an emotional person, moreover, he was also very good at utilizing his feelings.

“Instead, when I heard of his death, I was relieved that he would finally stop getting in my way.”

“I understand how you feel.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s eyes widened as if asking me, “Do you really understand?”

“I’d be relieved if my brother died, at least, without me having to do it myself.”

Our eyes met in the air, and the fire in his eyes flared up again.

What did he see in my eyes?

I don’t know what he was thinking.

Although he said he was relieved, after all, I was the one who had killed his brother, and he might be planning how to kill me, or perhaps, he had already put the matter behind him.

I’m not sorry.

If I can’t even defeat the Eight Demon Generals, if that’s all I’m capable of, then sooner or later I’ll be killed by Hua Wuji, and I’ll have to step over their corpses in order to survive.

The Blood Sky Blade Demon looked up at the sky and finally responded to my initial greeting.

“Yeah, it’s supposed to be hot this year.”

As he spoke, he fanned himself with the blade of the Heaven-Destroying Greatsword.

One thing’s for sure, this summer, between us, it’s going to get tense.

I shielded my hand from the sun and looked up at the sky as well.

“It’s okay, I’m not afraid of the heat.”
