Chapter 425 Self-destruction

This was a rule Ye Wanxi had set for them long ago: they could deal with Qi Yanjiao, the murderer, however they wanted, as long as they didn't kill her.

Being entangled in a life debt will affect their luck in their next life, it's not worth it!

A sharp scream echoed through the house, but none of the people present felt any pity.

Qi Yanjiao was forced to endure inhuman torture, constantly calling out the name of the man in black, hoping that he would save her.

But now that he can barely take care of himself, how can he care about this burden that he has been using repeatedly?

Most of the souls that emerge from the summoning banner are stained with blood. After being refined, they have completely lost their reason and are considered extremely yin and poisonous.

Ordinary people, let alone being caught, will fall ill for a period of time just by being exposed to the yin energy they exude.

Therefore, Ye Wanxi showed no mercy. Although the sword in her hand was not a peach wood sword, it was made of Xuan Tian meteorite iron and was infused with supreme yang spiritual power during the tempering process. It could be said to be the natural enemy of these yin creatures.

Every time Ye Wanxi swung her sword, it would instantly obliterate the souls of those who touched it.

The man in black was initially quite smug, his gloomy eyes filled with malice, as if he had anticipated that the evil spirits in the summoning banner would tear Ye Wanxi to pieces.

But when he saw the evil spirits he had painstakingly gathered disappear one by one under Ye Wanxi's hands, the man's expression changed, and the contempt and malice in his eyes turned into resentment and hatred.

He raised his hand, intending to command the soul-summoning banner to release more evil spirits to attack Ye Wanxi, but little did he know that Ye Wanxi had already discovered his intention.

After painstakingly slaying the few vengeful ghosts that were pestering her, Ye Wanxi quickly threw out several talismans to stop the man from moving forward. At the same time, she weighed the long sword in her hand and threw it forward forcefully towards the soul-summoning banner.

With a whoosh, the longsword struck the soul-summoning banner squarely, and accompanied by the screams and howls of the vengeful ghost, it pinned it directly to the wall next to the mural.

When a magical artifact is damaged, its owner will naturally suffer a backlash. The man in black coughed up a mouthful of blood, which stained his mask red.

Having lost his greatest support, the man, though filled with extreme resentment, knew he was no match for Ye Wanxi. He abandoned the summoning banner and turned to run away.

Ye Wanxi had gone to so much trouble, how could she let him get away like that? She darted to the man's side and kicked him back into the house.

The man fell to the ground and vomited blood again. Then he did something that Ye Wanxi never expected.

He tossed out an attacking magical artifact, and while Ye Wanxi dodged, he decisively abandoned the human body, turning into a wisp of black smoke and drifting out of the house at high speed.

Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly when she saw this scene. The first thing that came to mind was the demonic body that she had seen in Linjia Village that had been possessed.

Without thinking twice, Ye Wanxi raised her hand to recall her longsword and was about to chase after him when she heard a scream from outside.

Then they saw their senior brother walk in from outside, carrying a dark object in his hand, which was the demon that had just tried to escape.

"Are you chasing him?"

Ye Wanxi suddenly woke up and went to greet him with a look of surprise and delight: "Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

“I heard that you left early today after finishing your scenes, saying you had to deal with something of life and death. I was worried, so I came to check on you.”

As a result, I caught this thing as soon as I got to the door.

Ye Wanxi: "?!"

Did my senior brother plant a spy in her film crew? How does he know so much about what she said and did? Who is the traitor?

Ye Wanxi wasn't particularly opposed to her senior brother's open and honest inquiry; she was simply curious about the identity of the "informant."

However, the most important thing now is...

Ye Wanxi stared at the demon in her senior brother's hand, her expression solemn: "I never thought there really were demons in this world, and that they could even possess people and hide their demonic energy."

This was the key reason that alarmed Ye Wanxi. If this demon hadn't voluntarily abandoned its human body and crawled out, she wouldn't have been able to discern its true identity at all.

If it were someone less powerful than her, even if they could deal with the Soul-Summoning Banner, they might not have been prepared for this person to transform into a demon on the spot, and might have been killed instead.

"Tell me, where did the soul-summoning banner come from? How did you possess others and conceal your demonic energy? How many demons like you are there? Where are they now?"

The demon resented Ye Wanxi for ruining his soul-summoning banner and forcing him to give up the human body he had finally obtained. How could he possibly submit so obediently?

Feng Tianyu sneered, and a ball of crimson fire suddenly ignited in the palm of his other hand, instantly burning the demon to a crisp.

When roasting, I pay close attention to the heat, first burning the outer ring, then layer by layer inwards, ensuring the core remains intact, so that he can suffer greatly but not die immediately.

After being burned for a while, the monster couldn't take it anymore and surrendered, saying, "I'll talk, I'll talk, stop, please stop!"

Feng Tianyu then moved the fire away, but did not extinguish it, clearly indicating that if he was not satisfied, he wanted to continue burning it.

"I said, the soul-summoning banner is..."

Before they could finish speaking, Ye Wanxi and the other woman instinctively sensed something was amiss.

Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly. She immediately created a barrier to protect Gao Min and the others. As for her senior brother, she believed he was capable of protecting himself.

The moment the barrier fell, the demon in Feng Tianyu's hand suddenly exploded like a time bomb.

Its power not only overturned the tables and chairs inside the house, but also shattered a large ring of glass around the perimeter.

The deafening roar of the explosion, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, struck everyone's hearts. Even those hiding behind the sofa, like Gao Min and the others, could feel the fine clods of dirt clattering against their heads.

Once everything had settled down, Ye Wanxi waved away the dust that had been kicked up, coughing as she looked toward where her senior brother was.

As expected, Feng Tianyu did not disappoint her; apart from a handful of ash in his hand, he was unharmed.

"Senior Brother, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Feng Tianyu shook the dust off his hands and patted the dust off her hair.

Ye Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was really alright, and then asked about the important matter: "That demon..."

"It vanished into thin air. It must have been silenced by a curse; it would self-destruct if the taboo was violated."

The monster's self-destruction indirectly confirmed that there was someone even more deeply hidden behind him, and it also showed that this person behind the scenes was very cautious.

Creating such a thing would not only allow him to keep his secret, but also, if necessary, make use of it to severely damage those who ruin his plans.

Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly. This meticulous and calculating style of doing things felt strangely familiar to him.
