The wooden sword slipped through the gaps in the vines and pierced precisely into Shen Helin's dantian.

Large amounts of black blood gushed out from the gaps in the vines.

Su Diandian's face lit up with joy, "It's done?"

Before she finished speaking, the black blood turned into a sticky substance that climbed up the wooden sword and headed straight for Chu Kuo.

Chu Kuo loosened his grip on the sword hilt and retreated several steps.

The slime splattered onto the ground and expanded rapidly, devouring the vines at an astonishing speed.

After the vines subsided, Shen Helin, bleeding from all seven orifices, staggered to his feet. "The portal to the small world has been opened. Today, you will all die."

Dark, heavy clouds gathered to form a tornado containing violent power.

Su Diandian steered the Sky Bandit Fast Boat at breakneck speed toward the distant primeval forest.

Seeing Su Diandian use the fast boat to carry the tornado away from Shengxian City, Pei Jue couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration in his resolute eyes.

The tornado followed closely behind the Sky Bandit's fast boat, its violent power continuously destroying the outer barrier of Ascension City.

Pei Jue raised his arm and ordered his subordinates: "Chase after them! If the last layer of the barrier breaks, we will stand in their way!"

Fortunately, the barrier was layered, and if one layer was broken, another one would appear.

Chu Kuo truly lived up to his reputation as a master of array formations; under the protection of his barrier, Ascension City was saved!

Su Diandian had already left the city limits by piloting the fast boat.

As expected, the tornado followed.

You guessed right!

The portal to that small world was indeed closely connected to the one who opened it, and they were not far apart.

As long as we can take Shen Helin to a sparsely populated primeval forest, what difference does it make if the small world opens up?

Su Diandian laughed freely in the wind: "Elder Chu, are you afraid of death?"

Chu Kuo leaned against the mast, his eyes squinting in the wind.

"What are you talking about, being afraid of death or not? When are you going to make my will?" he said, pulling out a recording stone. "How about now?"

"What did you say?" Su Diandian shouted. "The wind is too strong, I can't hear you."

At this moment, the Sky Bandit's fast boat was already very close to the outer edge of the storm, and the wind cut like sharp blades.

In the blink of an eye, Su Diandian's face was repeatedly cut and healed.

Shen Helin and He'er couldn't hold on any longer and were swept away by the tornado.

Amidst the tornado, the faint cries of birds could be heard.

That cry...

The Heavenly Bird is right in the eye of the storm!

Su Diandian looked towards the direction of Shengxian City and found that the city was no longer visible. Only Pei Jue was riding a heavenly horse with a few city guards following at a distance.

Let's do it right here!

She released the control panel and jumped into the tornado.

Seeing her being swept away, Chu Kuo hesitated, then remembered the sect leader's instructions...

The sect leader ordered him to never leave Su Diandian's side unless he was killed, otherwise he would be punished by having to rebuild the entire Xuancang Sect.

Let's give it our all!

Chu Kuo flicked his wrist, putting the Sky Bandit Boat into his storage bag. Then, he lightly touched the wind with his toes and chased after the direction in which Su Diandian had been swept away.

The fast boat was gone, and He'er and Shen Helin were quickly swept away by the wind.

Extremely high wind speeds tore at the bodies of the people, lifting them up and flinging them around.

Su Diandian felt as if she were a piece of clothing being thrown into a washing machine.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, freezing her to the bone, and her eardrums felt like they were about to burst.

After being thrown around and feeling completely disoriented, she learned to use her spiritual power to stabilize herself, stepping on the debris being swept up by the wind, and slowly crawling towards the eye of the storm.

The entrance to the small world is in the eye of the wind.

If she can successfully climb in and be swallowed and absorbed, she can successfully go home.

The era of forced selling of meat has vanished...

Breathing suddenly became extremely difficult.

Su Diandian stared at the calm, windless eye of the storm, her eyes filled with awe.

A sharp bird call shattered the silence.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant, dark brown bird above the eye of the tornado, its beak wide open, absorbing energy into its belly.

Deep within the pitch-black maw, a faint glimmer of light seemed to appear.

That's it!

The little world hidden inside the belly of the Heavenly Bird.

She's here!

Su Diandian closed her eyes and jumped, but before she could jump out, her feet were grabbed.

She struggled a few times, but when she realized she couldn't break free, she opened her eyes and turned to look behind her.

"Shen Helin? Why are you holding me? Get off me!" She kicked him a few times in frustration, but Shen Helin kept holding onto her feet and refused to let go.

Upon closer inspection, only Shen Helin's upper body was in the eye of the storm; the other half of his body had already been twisted into a pretzel.

"Don't run... I want the immortal body now!"

Shen Helin gritted his teeth and glared at her, "I cannot remove your soul, but I can share your body!"

Su Diandian's eyes widened: "Huh? Are you out of your mind?! Who wants to share a body with you?!"

As she spoke, a dark shadow shot out from Shen Helin's forehead and rammed into her head.
