"What...what am I doing..."

Feeling the blood of the beauty in his arms, Ye Mu's blurred consciousness regained a sliver of clarity.

He looked up in disbelief. It was a face he knew all too well, its contours and lines etched into his very being. But... what should have been a rosy complexion was now a frighteningly pale one.

The demonic spirit in his mind kept tempting him, saying, "Tsk tsk, you're still a little short. Just a little more effort and you can escape."

"After all, who told you to do such a beastly thing? But the most pathetic thing isn't even that. You're clearly on a path of no return, yet you always want to turn back. Since you're still unwilling to give up, then I'll have to help you give up, hehe."

Evil continued to linger in his heart, and his pupils, which had just regained a sliver of clarity, became momentarily dazed.

The Demonic Body is a mental mutation caused by corrupt emotions, and it is the price of immortality.

However, certain elixirs passed down by the Medicine King can induce this evil thought in advance.

Those who possess a demonic body are constantly struggling against the demonic soul within their bodies.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Mu held Xiao Lan with one arm and clutched his head tightly with the other, letting out a hoarse roar.

"what happens!"

Su Chang exclaimed in surprise.

While everyone was still in a daze, Lin Mo had already realized that something was wrong. He looked into the thick smoke and felt the nauseatingly rich smell. In an instant, he understood what was going on.

Not quite dead! That demonic body isn't quite dead yet! Damn it, Xiao Lan is in danger!

He flicked his sleeve, intending to use the power of destiny to construct an array, but he couldn't squeeze out even a trace of energy!

He had already exhausted all the life force in his body during the battle with that woman!

His body is now like a dried-out sponge, completely devoid of moisture.

Lin Mo quickly looked at Qing Que and said, "Go and rescue Xiao Lan!"

Qingque nodded, and her petite body suddenly plunged into the dust.

At the same time, Su Chang and the Cloud Cavalry Captain also reacted. Su Chang gathered her destiny power into the sword and then swung it down!

The violent sword wind instantly dispersed all the dust!

The Cloud Cavalry captain charged forward like a tiger, shield in hand!

He was filled with remorse at that moment. If... if only he had acted more decisively...

Lin Mo watched this scene with a very cold expression. He looked at the parchment in his hand, which was engraved with countless complex patterns, and frowned slightly.

As the dust settled, Qingque saw the two figures and the blood all over the ground.

She pulled two jade tokens from her sleeve and slammed them hard onto Ye Mu's shoulder!

The bone helmet shattered, and the girl in his arms instantly fell to the ground.

"Don't leave me..."

The ferocious Ye Mu reached out with his other arm, which was covering his head, to try and pick up Xiao Lan again, but the captain's shield was already there.

With a loud thud, accompanied by a low growl from the Cloud Cavalry captain, Wild Shepherd's body was slammed against the wall by a sturdy shield.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qingque instantly picked up Xiao Lan, who was covered in blood, and left the battlefield.

Click.

His bones were almost shattered, and his shield was stained with demonic blood.

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Cloud Cavalry captain.

He raised his long sword high and swung it down towards the other man's head!

Clang!

At this critical moment.

Su Chang, wielding her heavy black iron sword, blocked the captain's longsword.

Feeling the immense force on her shoulder, Su Chang sensed her captain's determination, but...

Seeing Su Chang's pity for the demonic Yin body, the Cloud Cavalry captain raised an eyebrow and said angrily, "Su Chang! Do you know what you're doing? Did you understand what I just said to you?!"

“I heard that… but my mother said… ah!”

Before Su Chang could finish speaking, the Yunqi captain used one hand to lift his longsword and knock Su Chang's heavy sword away. The heavy sword swung around in the air a few times before crashing heavily into the ground.

As the long sword was about to fall, Nomaki's pupils contracted sharply, then slowly dilated.

He stared blankly at the long sword that was about to pronounce his death, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

Perhaps, for a sinner like me, dying like this is the best end.

But at least, you should let me apologize first.

Thinking of this, Nomura couldn't help but linger his gaze on Xiao Lan in Qing Que's arms in the final moments of his life.

But at that moment, the long sword finally stopped at his throat, not going down any further.

The Cloud Cavalry captain's voice was somewhat stern and cold, completely unlike his usual approachable demeanor.

"Master Diviner, what is the meaning of this?"

This startled Nomura, who was about to die, and then he heard a weary voice.

"Captain, those who fall into demonic possession usually do so because their humanity is extinguished when they struggle with the evil thoughts of the demonic soul for control of their consciousness, and you just heard that."

"Before Xiao Lan left, he said, 'Don't leave me,' which means that his humanity had not completely degenerated."

"Subdue him first, don't rush to kill him."

Lin Mo stretched out his hand and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Yunqi captain was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Su Chang, who looked somewhat aggrieved, and immediately understood.

He lowered his head and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

He acted that way because he was so consumed by guilt and lost his mind from the heat.
