My Arch-Nemesis Cried and Begged Me Not to Die 28p2


Chapter 28 Part 2: Yan Jingyu will definitely slaughter the entire Demon Realm!

As soon as Yu Qiuye saw him, his eyelids twitched wildly. A bad premonition rushed to his face. He said subconsciously, “Why are you here?”

He didn’t believe that Liao Qi Mei would be willing to let Yan Jingyu be used as food to appease the blood beast.

“Me?” Yan Jingyu shook the Qiankun Pouch in his hand. “I’m here to accept this great opportunity! Liao Chen said there is a huge blood beast inside. I’m here to subdue it… You guys…”

Yan Jingyu suddenly realized something, turned around, and ran in first. “Liao Chen, you fool! Why did you call so many people—”

A roar of impact came from inside again. Mo Ting and Yu Qiuye promptly raised their hands to put up a spiritual energy shield to prevent these rations from dying before they could be of use.

But they saw that the fellow who had just boasted that he would subdue the blood beast had directly fallen to the ground due to the shaking of the ground, rolling down the steps into the inside. When he climbed up, a wound could clearly be seen on his forehead.

Yu Qiuye sneered. “If it were the Yan Jingyu of the past who said this, I might have believed it a little…”

Mo Ting also sneered contemptuously. “He always thinks he’s omnipotent. Unfortunately, the blood beast is an evil spirit. It’s not an ordinary demon that can be defeated so easily.”

Liao Chen and Yin Shi were doing their best to resist the loosening barrier. Seeing Yan Jingyu at a glance, he said coldly, “You waste, what trouble are you causing now! Yu Qiuye, bring him in!”

“Wait!” Yan Jingyu said, “I’ve already put a spiritual energy mark on all these medicines. Help me strengthen it. I’m all that’s needed here. Don’t let them get in the way.”

“Yan Qi—” Liao Chen looked at him with eyes that could eat people. “Even if you want to die, you alone are not enough to even fill the gaps in its teeth!”

“Who said anything about dying!” Yan Jingyu said, “Hurry up and come down, strengthen the mark for me. I told you I have a way!”

Liao Chen glanced at Yin Shi opposite him. After he was fully resisting the barrier, he impatiently landed beside Yan Jingyu, casually took the Qiankun Pouch from his hand, and said, “What it wants is flesh and blood. You’re taking these bottles and jars…”

“Shut up.” Yan Jingyu directly interrupted him. “Do as I say. Now, give me the Nether Grass.”

The Nether Grass was the favorite thing of evil spirits and was also of great use to cultivators who practiced the path of corpse puppets. Liao Chen handed it over and said, “Giving it the Nether Grass will only make its appetite bigger!”

Yan Jingyu flew up again. “Is the work I asked you to do done yet? How’s the mark?”

“It’s done.”

“These spoiled pills are not attractive enough to it. I’m now using the Nether Grass to tempt it to open its mouth. You feed all these pills in. After it swallows them, immediately activate all the marks. Don’t let it spit out a single one!”

“…” Liao Chen, annoyed, infused some more spiritual energy into the feather jade at his waist to ensure that he wouldn’t suddenly fall down. “I’ll trust you this once, reluctantly.”

The Nether Grass was suspended above the blood pool. This time, Yan Jingyu also saw the giant monster with his own eyes. His eyes lit up, and he murmured, “A top-quality item… If I can tame it, I can walk sideways in the Demonic Domain…”

It suddenly leaped up, opened its large, catfish-like mouth, and swallowed the Nether Grass.

The ground shook even more violently than before. If not for the entire Demon Palace being reinforced with restrictions, the buildings would have probably collapsed by now.

Yu Qiuye and Mo Ting couldn’t help but take a step back, trying their best to hold up the spiritual energy shield. The former’s face was already ugly. “What on earth is this Yan Jingyu trying to do! If it breaks through the barrier, the number of people who die won’t just be these!!!”

Mo Ting also gritted her teeth. “This damned bastard, he causes trouble wherever he goes… The Demon Lord should have just killed him directly!”

“Now!” As soon as Yan Jingyu’s voice fell, a ball of garbage pills, tightly bound by spiritual energy, was kicked up like a Cuju ball and shot straight into the blood beast’s large mouth. Liao Chen, in an instant, formed a seal and focused his eyes. The pills that had landed in its mouth immediately flashed with spiritual light. The blood beast’s mouth immediately closed, and it fell back into the blood pool, gurgling and spitting out. Its huge body swayed with its movements. Not until it had gurgled and spat many times did it fail to spit out a single bottle of garbage.

Another stalk of Nether Grass appeared in front of it. It opened its mouth again, and Liao Chen fiercely kicked again.

This time, the force was so great that its tail straightened in an instant. The spiritual light was activated in its lower abdomen. It suddenly plunged its head into the blood pool and became motionless.

Yan Jingyu fell from the air. Liao Chen flew over and caught him, landing steadily back in his original spot.

Without waiting to be asked, he had already started running towards the blood pool. Liao Chen had to follow, to prevent the blood beast from suddenly rushing out and eating him.

This thing, in a state of extreme rage, would instantly melt anything that entered its mouth, and there would be no time to save it.

“It’s quiet…” Yu Qiuye said subconsciously. “Did the blood beast eat him?”

Mo Ting still cautiously held up the protective shield, tentatively poking her head inside.

“Boom—!”

Another earth-shattering tremor. The blood beast broke out of the pool again, the viscous blood on its body rolling off. Yan Jingyu looked up, watching as it lowered its head from above and looked down at him.

It was really big…

Yan Jingyu stood in front of it, like a young rabbit next to a lion. Liao Chen’s gaze darkened slightly. He saw Yan Jingyu raise his hand, which was covered in a faint spiritual light, and reach towards the other.

He stood restrainedly and did not move.

Although he felt that Yan Jingyu was completely looking for death, he also instinctively believed that he would not do something without preparation.

This blood beast had a forehead like a crocodile, its eyes as large as water buckets, its mouth as wide as a catfish, and its nose was like a hippopotamus’s, above its lips. It had two backward-curving horns like a bull’s on its two foreheads, but the horns were covered with clusters of hair, long and flowing like braids on both sides of its body.

It was still staring at Yan Jingyu, but it slowly bent down and gently touched his palm with its wide nose.

Liao Chen’s pupils slightly dilated.

Mo Ting, who was peeking from the door, was also stunned.

“It is the resentful end of countless people. Its body carries endless resentment, anger, unwillingness, and grievance… If you blindly feed it more living things, you will only infinitely nourish its more sinister side. Eating such a mixed diet and absorbing so much resentment, it would be strange if you could tame it.”

Liao Chen slowly clasped his hands behind his back. “Isn’t it that as long as you put your own spiritual energy mark on the food, you can become its master? Why didn’t it work for me and Chi Yuan?”

“If you are resentful, angry, and afraid every day, would you be willing to submit?” Yan Jingyu glanced at him sideways. “Actually, it’s very simple. You have to use the purest spiritual energy to touch it, and you have to have no distracting thoughts. If you are bent on taming it, it will definitely not let you have your way.”

He looked at the strange-looking giant beast again and said softly, “Eight hundred boys, eight hundred girls, five hundred immortal cultivators, five hundred demonic cultivators, five hundred demon cultivators, and those endless young girls… They powerlessly became the blood beast and were avoided by everyone. This is not their fault. They should not be suppressed, should not be driven. They should walk in the world with dignity, just like all other things.”

“Hmph.” Yu Qiuye crossed his arms, a hint of jealousy in his eyes. “You say it so grandly, but aren’t you just trying to tame it and make it do your bidding?”

“Well said.” Yan Jingyu’s eyes curved. He suddenly flipped over and sat on the blood beast’s head. He sat cross-legged, his hands gently resting on the two horns with long crimson whiskers on both sides of the blood beast. “But I can make it think that I see it as an equal. Can you?”

“Boom—!” The blood beast suddenly shot forward and stopped in front of everyone in an instant. Its huge nostrils and eyes stared straight at the tiny meat rabbits in front of them. The smell of blood rushed to their faces, but no one dared to move.

They stared at Yan Jingyu, who was sitting on the blood beast’s head, with a faint smile on his face.

It was still that exquisitely carved, jade-like, unparalleled face. The clothes on his body were also as bright and holy as the moonlight. But the way he rested his chin on his hand with a faint smile and looked at them made people feel that he was extremely… demonic.

Yu Qiuye also did not dare to move. Not until Yan Jingyu gently stroked the blood beast’s curved horns again and the blood beast slowly retreated two steps did he suddenly reach out to support the door frame to prevent himself from falling due to his weak legs.

“…” It’s over. Yan Jingyu has tamed the blood beast. In the future, the entire Demonic Domain will be finished.

“The demon-run has become the master of the blood beast…” a small voice came, with a hint of nervousness. “Do I still need to wash its tail for it?”

Yan Jingyu’s gaze fell on the tender child. Mo Ting had already quickly covered his mouth.

She held her breath and looked at the ugly, ferocious beast, and the man on it, as bright and pure as jade. Her heart couldn’t help but tighten.

Yan Jingyu… has had a long-standing feud with the Demon Lord. Will he, in a fit of rage, slaughter the Demon Palace?

Although his body was a waste, he was still the top genius of the immortal sects back then. She should have thought of it long ago. Letting him stay in the Demon Palace was like letting a wolf into the house.

She subconsciously looked at Liao Chen. The latter was also staring coldly at Yan Jingyu above, his gaze equally gloomy.

But Yan Jingyu just smiled, his white palm stroking the blood beast’s curved horns again and again, making it retreat again. His voice was gentle. “I have a bold idea. Are you all willing to hear me out?”

Everyone looked at Liao Chen again, holding their breath.

Liao Chen’s voice was casual, with a rather subtle tone. “Oh?”

Yan Jingyu opened his arms. In that instant, everyone saw his faintly green eyes and heard those extremely demonic words—

“Let’s light up the long night and have a polar night carnival!!”

Eh? Why does everyone’s face look so ugly?

My Arch-Nemesis Cried and Begged Me Not to Die

宿敌哭着求我不要死
Status: Completed Author: Native Language: Chinese

By the time I made a name for myself in the immortal sects, he was already a demonic cultivation prodigy, his infamy known throughout the lands. Our paths crossed at the height of our respective powers. We fought over the Endless Sea for ten days and ten nights. He shattered my Golden Core; I pierced his Spiritual Abode.

Neither of us came out ahead.

He was spirited away by the guardians of the Demonic Realm. After a century in seclusion, he re-emerged as the new Demon Lord—a name that made all who heard it tremble.
As for me, I dragged my broken, ailing body into obscurity, eking out a meager existence in a small, unknown sect, with only a few years left to live.

We met again at a bustling Grand Cultivation Assembly. Countless old acquaintances failed to recognize me, but he spotted me in an instant. Without hesitation, he sent a palm strike flying my way.

With a sickening thud, I was sent flying, vomiting blood, and I fainted on the spot.

When I opened my eyes, he was standing over me, his expression thunderous. "How did you become such a waste?!"

Between wracking coughs that felt like they were tearing my ruined lungs apart, I managed to roll my eyes. "Just as you wished. I'm dying."

He refused to accept it. He went to incredible lengths to retrieve my long-lost sword, insisting I fight him one more time. Forced to comply, I took it. With a loud clang, the once-familiar blade slipped from my hand and fell to the ground.

His eyes widened in shock. I met his gaze, unflinching.

That's right. I can't even hold a sword anymore.

I had long since accepted my fate, but he refused to give up. He became obsessed, forcing priceless immortal elixirs down my throat, searching realms for miracle workers to heal me. While he was at it, he even annihilated the old enemies who had massacred my clan.

I was a little touched. "You're being so good to me. Don't tell me you've fallen for me?"

"Bullshit!" His face twisted. "I just want to beat you fair and square again! Yan Jingyu, if you're going to die, you can only die at my hands!"

As my final day drew nearer, he grew so anxious he couldn't sleep at night, his hair falling out in clumps.
Meanwhile, I ate well and slept soundly. I spent my days strolling through his demonic palace, teasing the local demons and monsters, and lazily awaiting my end.

With half a year left, I saw him sitting on the roof, staring blankly into the distance. I stood below and opened my arms. "Hey! Get me up there!"

He glanced at me, and for once, his usual ferocious cruelty was gone. Wordlessly, he lifted me up with a wave of his hand.

I settled down beside him and, as cheekily as ever, used the nickname he despised. "Liao Xiao Mei*, I'm really dying. You should stop wasting your..."

[Translator's Note: The nickname "Liao Xiao Mei" literally means "Liao Little Beauty," a very feminine and demeaning name for a powerful Demon Lord.]

Before I could finish, this infamous lord of an entire realm lowered his head, and tears began to fall like rain.

Me: "..."

Wait, no— Fine! I'll train properly, okay? I'll do my best to get back to my peak before I die and give you that satisfying fight you want!

Hey, hey, hey, just stop crying already...
