Jiang Ming proceeded to walk toward Skartoom at a slow and steady pace.
His sword was raised up high, ready to hack and slash at any moment.
At the same time, Skartoom was crawling backward with his hands.
Skartoom could finally move when Qi Shan started to pout like a little girl and unlifted the pressure she had placed upon Skartoom.
"Why are you running?" Jiang Ming asked in a pitiful tone.
"I just want to have some fun with you~" he added.
'Screw your damn fun! Who the hell kills for fun?' Skartoom cursed him silently.
However, he paused himself when he realized he was going to do the same thing as well.
If it weren't for the appearance of Qi Shan and Jiang Ming, he would have long flown toward the royal capital of the Northern Continent to begin his massacre.
While Skartoom was lamenting his harsh fate, Jiang Ming didn't give a damn as he proceeded to close the distance between him and Skartoom.
Qi Shan was too busy acting pitifully, so she didn't bother to intervene either and decided to find a cozy spot to sit.
Skartoom's eyes turned bloody red when he noticed her attitude.
'We're from the same race, Princess Qi Shan. Are you really going to allow him to kill me?' He screamed silently.
As much as he wanted to retaliate and kill Jiang Ming for his audacity, he was sure that Qi Shan would intervene at the final moment and assist Jiang Ming.
At that time, Skartoom knew his life was officially over since nobody can oppose Qi Shan, not even the demon lord.
"Sir, we can talk about this. We do not need to enter a life-and-death situation." Skartoom stood still and tried to reason with him.
"Life and death situation? Bitch please, you are the one at a complete disadvantage." Jiang Ming sneered coldly.
Though he paused his movement and patted his shoulder slightly with the sword on top of it.
"Skartoom, you're a smart man, so you definitely know there is some connection between me and Qi Shan. Therefore, you can't and do not dare to strike at me whereas I'm allowed to screw you over and over again."
He then glared at Skartoom, flashing a notorious smile that anyone would want to punch him if they ever saw it.
Meanwhile, Skartoom gritted his teeth as he sneaked a glance at Qi Shan.
Seeing how Qi Shan was still in her own little world, Skartoom curled his lips upward.
'If I'm going to die either way, I might as well kill this damn brat first.' He thought.
Suddenly, he flashed his claws out and propelled itself toward Jiang Ming.
"Go to hell you greenhorn brat!" Skartoom screamed maliciously.
With its sharp claws laced with a deadly toxin, Skartoom was sure that he could kill Jiang Ming in one strike.
However, before he could even laugh, Jiang Ming sneered coldly.
"Defend me, my summoned Qi Shan!" Jiang Ming shouted aloud and activated a spatial barrier.
CLANK!
Skartoom's claws scrap through the spatial barrier, but his strength wasn't enough to shatter it.
"Tch, damn human cultivator's barrier," Skartoom clicked his tongue in annoyance.
And just when he tried to pursue further, Skartoom suddenly felt a cold chill on his back.
Without hesitation, he kicked the ground and propelled himself to the sky.
Floating through mid-air, Skartoom turned around and noticed Qi Shan was transformed into her demoness form.
'What the hell is going on? Wasn't the Princess being distracted?' Skartoom screamed inwardly.
He was thoroughly confused as to why Qi Shan would suddenly intervene, but before he could comprehend the situation. Qi Shan released her demoness aura, locking down Skartoom in an instant.
Skartoom twitched his face in anger. He was unwilling to accept this outcome.
"Princess Qi Shan, how could you help a human cultivator!" Skartoom screamed in agony as he crashed downward, unable to move an inch.
"Shut the hell up!" Qi Shan yelled and started stomping on Skartoom's back.
"You think I want to waste energy screwing you over?" She asked in anger.
"If you don't want to screw me over, then why are you thrashing me?"
"Blame this fucking Jiang Ming and his unknown method."
Qi Shan held a fiery expression as she clenched her fist tightly. One moment she was sulking in a corner, and the next moment, she suddenly found herself unable to control her body.
She was like a puppet, obeying the master's command and could not refuse the command no matter what.
As Qi Shan continued to thrash the crap out of the poor Skartoom, Jiang Ming was filled with joy.
"This GLCS is really a masterpiece. I never thought one day I could be the controller and command Qi Shan." He exclaimed happily, glancing at the system prompt in front of him.
Ding!
<Qi Shan has entered combat mode>
<Do you wish for her to stop: Y/N>
__
'Why would I wish for her to stop, GLCS?' He asked himself silently.
This was literally free real estate. Jiang Ming could simply lay back and wait for Qi Shan to finish killing Skartoom.
Afterward, the loot drop from Skartoom would belong solely to him.
Who would want to stop such delicious freeloading?
While Jiang Ming was lost in his thoughts, Qi Shan suddenly shouted at him, "Jiang Ming, you bastard. What did you do to my body?"
"I did nothing to your body. Don't you dare accuse an innocent person!" Jiang Ming stood up tall and defended his honor in full righteousness.
"You're innocent? If you're innocent, then I'm Goddess Nuwa." Qi Shan snorted coldly.
SPlAT!
Before Qi Shan could continue the conversation, blood was splattered across her face, painting it red.
After all, her body had never stopped stomping on Skartoom. In addition, her kick was infused with spiritual qi, causing the tough skin of Skartoom to be unable to resist any longer.
'Shit… She's definitely going to kill me now,' Jiang Ming took a step back when he saw the blood sprayed diagonally on her face.
