At the same time when the Time-Stealing demon shouted this, the Dragon Roar sword pierced his body again. Mo Yanliang’s other hand grabbed the demon’s head and directly grabbed his soul.
“Are you kidding me? A little demon like you can let all the people in the city be buried with you?”
Mo Yanliang acted without any hesitation just now, because he knew that the little demon could not have that kind of strength, saying that he wanted to let all the people be buried with him…… if the person in front of the Time-Stealing demon was an immortal like Xie Baichen, they might hesitate but Mo Yanliang won’t.
The Time-Stealing demon itself was not strong, but it’s cunning, and he can manipulate time.
Running away was his strong point. Just now, if Mo Yanliang hesitated just a little, the current situation would definitely not be that he captured the Time-Stealing demon’s soul, but the demon seized the opportunity to escape instead, and might never dare to appear in Tianshui City again. If that’s the case, it will be difficult to find this demon again and the stolen time might never be recovered again.
After calculating the pros and cons in an instant, he took action without any hesitation.
Seeing that Mo Yanliang had no reaction to what he said, the Time-Stealing demon knew that he was finished.
He’s used to judged people by their words. He’d probably guessed that Mo Yanliang was invited to exorcise demons, he felt that Mo Yanliang would not ignore the lives of people in the city no matter what or at least he would hesitate. Who knows that this person would play his cards so unconventionally and act without hesitation? He even felt the person in front of him became more ruthless when he said that.
Facing against such immoral and ruthless person, the Time-Stealing demon knew that he had no chance to turn the table.
“Speak, how do we return the time you took from the people in Tianshui City?”
Mo Yunqing had already came down from the peach tree, his voice still carried that kind of lazy tone, making people wonder whether he cares or not.
He approached Mo Yanliang as he spoke.
As Mo Yunqing approached, Mo Yanliang smelled a faint floral scent, as if he had just been exposed to it.
Mo Yunqing’s question rekindled a glimmer of hope for the Time-Stealing demon.
He was not afraid of them asking about the method of returning time, but he was afraid of them not asking. Asking means caring, only then he can find the opportunity to escape.
It seems that although these two looked the same, their personalities are different.
“I won’t tell you. You are right, I can’t bring the whole city to be buried with me but if I can’t have a good life, I won’t let you mortals have an easy life either! Aren’t you cultivators very particular about cause and effect? Since those people’s time is gone, you will naturally bear the consequences, and your path of cultivation will definitely be affected, hahahaha…”
The laughter of the Time-Stealing demon stopped abruptly when Mo Yunqing used the fan to raised his chin up, the tone he spoke with filled with disdain: “Your laughter is so ugly… And you, this demon are really ignorant. Who told you that we are mortals?”
“Mmmm?”
Unable to speak because Mo Yunqing's fan was pressed against his chin, the Time-Stealing demon could only make unclear sounds.
He’s very confused right now, are these two immortals? Those immortals actually have time to take care of the affairs of the mortal world recently?
Even the Demon clan and Devil realm have heard of the current chaos in the Heavenly realm, but likewise, the Demon clan had been in chaos for a long time and each of them is their own king. Even though the Heaven realm is in chaos now, they have no way to organize themselves to attack the Heaven realm.
As for the Devil realm, the situation was not much better. Mo Yanliang had previously dealt a severe blow to the Devil Lord’s vitals, and when he was recovering from his injuries, Zhan Yuming rushed to the Devil realm to challenge him to a duel.
Although Zhan Yuming was injured more seriously in that duel, the Devil Lord was already seriously injured in that ‘place’, and fighting again before he recovered would be a serious blow to him.
So the current situation was that the three realms of immortals, devils and demons are all in a rather chaotic state. Immortals and devils are relatively better off, after all, the Immortal Emperor and the Devil Lord still have control over those below them. The lower-level demons in the demon clan are used to being lax, and now there is no one to control them, and many of them have come out to wreak havoc on the world.
Although this is only a small number of demons, it is indeed a disaster for the human world.
Mo Yunqing seemed to have noticed something from the words and attitude of the Time-Stealing demon just now. The smile on his face became even brighter. He no longer looked at the Time-Stealing demon, but looked at Mo Yanliang.
"Xiaoliang, what do you think we should do now?"
This didn't sound like a question, but more like an instruction.
Mo Yanliang carefully observed Mo Yunqing's expression, and without saying much, he directly summoned the Seven Treasures Gourd.
He pulled out the stopper that was blocking the mouth of the Seven Treasures Gourd and aimed the gourd mouth at the body of the Time-Stealing demon. Under the Time-Stealing demon's incredulous eyes, his body was turned into ashes by the fire that spewed out of the gourd.
“Mm…Mmmm?” How…how dare you?
Even though his soul's chin was pressed against by Mo Yunqing's fan and he couldn't speak clearly, the Time-Stealing Demon still hummed to express his inner dissatisfaction.
Even immortals wouldn’t dare to disregard human lives like this, right?
At this moment, the Time-Stealing demon looked at Mo Yanliang and Mo Yunqing as if he were looking at two lunatics.
The two men's style of action was completely unexpected to him, and they were not threatened at all.
The behavior of these two people were not like good people at all. They are even more cruel and ruthless than him, a demon...
The Time-Stealing demon was really scared.
At this moment, only his soul was left. If these two continued, he afraid that his soul would be scattered.
The Time-Stealing demon's body was trembling. He stopped struggling and the look he gave towards Mo Yunqing, who was holding his chin with a fan, was no longer filled with hatred, but with flattery and pleading.
Demons’ admiration for the strong is more direct than that of immortals and humans, and the same goes for their fear.
Mo Yunqing took back his fan. As soon as the Time-Stealing demon could speak, he immediately seized the opportunity to survive: "Then, those people are fine. You destroyed my body. All the time that I stole will return to those people. I really only stole some of the mortal’s time. I didn't really intend to hurt them."
At this moment, the Time-Stealing demon looked so weak, pitiful and helpless.
Of course, if he could escape, he would naturally show a different expression.
Mo Yanliang was too lazy to watch this little demon pretending to be pitiful in front of him. He had no sympathy for this demon who had tried to morally blackmail him not long ago.
"Stop talking nonsense. I know this. Otherwise, why do you think I would set your body on fire?"
Mo Yanliang looked at the Time-Stealing demon as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
TheTime-Stealing demon was speechless. He really didn't think that Mo Yanliang already knew about it. He thought... Mo Yanliang was just being ruthless.
Mo Yanliang was able to guess this through Mo Yunqing's reaction.
He himself didn't know much about these monsters and demons, but it doesn’t matter, because Mo Yunqing knew.
And Mo Yanliang only needs to know himself well enough to guess from Mo Yunqing's expression that the matter has now been resolved.
"So, what else do you want to know?"
The Time-Stealing demon’s voice was trembling. He was really scared. With the methods these two people had, if he was no longer of any use... he believed that they would never let him go.
Mo Yanliang looked at Mo Yunqing. In fact, when he heard that the time-stealing demon could steal other people's time, he had an immature idea.
What Mo Yanliang lacks most now is time.
After all, his enemies are all big shots, and his current strength is not enough in front of them.
Mo Yanliang never thought of relying on others, but even if he wanted to cultivate and become stronger, it would take time.
Mo Yunqing nodded at Mo Yanliang. It was obvious that he had the same idea.
Mo Yunqing had practiced for thousands of years and had mastered powerful strength. He knew his talents and potential better than Mo Yanliang. What Mo Yanliang could think of, he naturally could too.
Before the world was restarted, Mo Yunqing was still in heaven at this time. He was a poor little thing who had lost his memory and was deceived by everyone. Naturally, he didn't know the existence of the Time-Stealing demon.
Maybe this is a good opportunity.
"Demons have much more time than ordinary mortals."
Mo Yunqing looked at the body of the Time-Stealing Demon that had turned into ashes, and suddenly felt a little sorry.
"That's what I meant."
It's a great feeling that as soon as an idea comes to your mind, there’s someone who can completely understand your idea and even give you direct suggestions to improve it.
Although that person was himself, Mo Yanliang still felt very happy.
He never had many close friends because he was too lazy to maintain them.
The appearance of Mo Yunqing really filled some gaps in his life.
"Of course, tell us how you steal other people's time."
When Mo Yanliang said this, there was a hint of lightness in his voice.
In essence, Mo Yanliang always feels that he is still a human being, and he will not steal the time of ordinary mortals.
But there are many demons causing evil in this world. So while we are slaying the demons, is it too much to steal their time?
The demons have longer lifespans, so more time can be stolen. If this idea is implemented, Mo Yanliang won't have to worry about running out of time.
Mo Yanliang was happy, but the Time-Stealing demon just couldn't be happy at all.
Undoubtedly, this method is the only way for the Time-Stealing Demon to preserve his soul, but does he really want to tell this method to others?
