"Hahaha……"
"Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time!"
"Welcome to my underworld!"
Lu Dongbin's gaze shifted to Li Yao and the Seven Immortals, his face revealing an undisguised smugness.
At this moment, his entire body was filled with overwhelming demonic energy, emanating a chilling demonic aura.
Although both were possessed by demons, Lü Dongbin was different from the Seven Immortals including Tieguai Li and the Ten Kings of Hell including Qin Guangwang.
The reason why Tieguai Li, Qin Guangwang, and others became possessed by demons was because Lü Dongbin cast a blood curse on them, thus putting them under Lü Dongbin's control.
When Lü Dongbin became possessed by a demon, it was initially under the control of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
However, ever since Tongtian Jiaozhu was killed by Li Yao, Lü Dongbin has been like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, beyond anyone's control.
Furthermore, he is the destined protagonist of this world, the one destined to face calamity, and possesses extraordinary fortune.
Therefore, even though Lü Dongbin had become a demon, he still retained his self-awareness.
Therefore, he can still recognize Li Yao, Qi Xian, and others like a normal person.
As for why he just knocked Bai Mudan away, it's because at this moment, he no longer has any feelings for Bai Mudan.
He is now immersed in immense power!
Women will only make him fall into depravity and lose himself!
"Lu Dongbin, stop being so stubborn! Quickly abandon your demonic powers; this is your only chance to reform!"
Tieguai Li shouted with a serious expression.
"You're right, abandoning your demonic powers is your only way out!"
"As long as you abandon your demonic powers and Fellow Daoist Li removes the blood curse from your body, you can still start anew!"
Han Xiangzi also tried his best to persuade him.
Zhang Guolao, Han Zhongli, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, and others also tried to persuade Lü Dongbin.
"Dongbin, you must not make another mistake. Listen to everyone and abandon your demonic powers!"
Bai Mudan urged him anxiously.
"You guys are so naive!"
"Do you think it's possible for me to cripple my demonic powers?"
"I finally mastered my demonic arts and cultivated such a perfect demonic body. How could I possibly abandon my demonic arts?"
"Hahaha……"
A cold smile curled at the corner of Lü Dongbin's mouth.
The sneer gradually expanded, eventually turning into unrestrained, maniacal laughter, full of smugness and arrogance.
"Just now you all tried your best to stop me from cultivating demonic arts!"
"It almost ruined everything I had worked for!"
"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already advising me to abandon my demonic powers!"
Lu Dongbin's laughter suddenly stopped, and his extremely cold gaze swept over Tieguai Li and the others, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.
As he spoke, a terrifying demonic aura emanated from him, soaring into the sky as if it were tangible, causing people to tremble with fear.
"What a terrifying aura!"
Tieguai Li and the others all changed color.
They immediately channeled their magical power to protect their bodies.
They felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast, which sent chills down their spines and made them break out in a cold sweat.
"That's...that's terrifying!"
Cao Guojiu, Princess Longsan, Sun Ying, and the others were soaked through, their chests heaving as they gasped for breath.
Their cultivation level was not high, and their mental state and willpower were not very strong.
Therefore, they were most affected by Lü Dongbin's demonic influence.
As for Tieguai Li and the others, their cultivation and mental state were relatively profound, so they were not affected much, but their expressions were somewhat unpleasant.
"It seems you really are stubborn and unrepentant!"
Li Yao looked at Lü Dongbin calmly and said indifferently.
"Li Yao?!"
"Hehe, you can say that I owe a great deal of credit to my mastery of demonic arts today!"
"Hahaha……"
Lü Dongbin suddenly burst into wild laughter again, his face filled with disdain.
What do you mean by that?
Tieguai Li and the others were all greatly puzzled.
"The reason is simple!"
"Because I killed the Tongtian Sect Leader!"
"This freed Lü Dongbin from the control of the Tongtian Sect Leader!"
"Only in this way can he regain his senses and cultivate demonic arts on his own!"
Li Yao offered an explanation.
"I see!"
Tieguai Li and the others then realized what was going on.
"But you have ruined my plans time and time again, and today you almost prevented me from cultivating my demonic arts!"
"He deserves to die!"
"However, if you surrender to me now, I might consider sparing your life!"
"If you help me unify the Three Realms, then I will hand over the Underworld and the Human Realm to you!"
What do you think?
Lü Dongbin suddenly tried to bribe Li Yao.
Although he has become possessed by a demon, no one controls him; he retains his self-awareness.
He felt that Li Yao was a rare and powerful figure.
With Li Yao as his helper, he can unify the Three Realms and become the ruler of the Three Realms.
"Your proposal is indeed very tempting."
"I almost got tempted!"
Unfortunately, I have absolutely no interest in any power or influence!
"If I wanted to be the ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor would have already abdicated!"
Li Yao said calmly.
Hearing this, Tieguai Li and the others standing nearby were all terrified.
This Li Yao is really bold!
How dare they say such outrageous things in public!
It seems that Li Yao is also a lawless tyrant!
Fortunately, just as Li Yao himself said, he had no interest in power.
Otherwise, the Three Realms would probably already be in chaos, with endless strife.
In the end, it is the innocent beings of the Three Realms who suffer.
"How arrogant!"
"Since you refuse to submit to me, then you have no choice but to die!"
"snort!"
"Prepare to die!"
Lu Dongbin's face darkened, and a terrifying aura of arrogance and dominance suddenly erupted from his body.
boom!
Lu Dongbin moved swiftly, flipped his hand, and struck Li Yao with a palm.
The vast and mighty demonic energy, like a raging storm, carrying an aura of destruction, swept towards Li Yao.
"What terrifying magical power!"
Lan Caihe exclaimed in surprise.
"I never imagined that Lü Dongbin, who had mastered demonic arts, would have his strength increase dozens of times!"
Tieguai Li's face turned stern, his heart filled with fear.
"That's amazing! I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li is a match for Lü Dongbin?"
Zhang Guolao couldn't help but start to worry about Li Yao.
"It's hard to say!"
Han Zhongli shook his head slightly.
This time, he dared not make a bet.
"I hope Fellow Daoist Li can subdue Dongbin, and ideally, cripple Dongbin's demonic powers and lift the blood curse on him!"
He Xiangu looked on with anticipation.
"Dongbin, Dongbin..."
Bai Mudan's gaze remained fixed on Lü Dongbin, her eyes glistening with tears, and she kept murmuring Lü Dongbin's name.
