Jiang Yuncheng excitedly recited the incantation and urged the Money Sword to slash towards Shen Ruodi.
He was standing right in front of Gu Xu.
"Fool!" Shen Ruodi let out a soft sigh, and the previously hidden black chain silently lashed out.
He showed no mercy and intended to drag both of them down with him.
Jiang Yuncheng, however, was completely unaware of the impending danger.
Gu Xu couldn't see the black chain, but he suddenly sensed danger. It was an instinctive intuition that made him want to get away as fast as he could.
This was an unprecedented experience for him. He became alert, but he was unarmed and had no way to deal with it.
A figure blocked his way, pointed a finger, and an invisible sword aura flashed, instantly severing the black chain.
"So annoying!"
"Clang!" The money sword hit the black chain and bounced back. Jiang Yuncheng looked at Ming Zhuo, somewhat bewildered.
Everything happened so fast that he didn't even see when Mingzhuo came to his side.
But that didn't stop him from getting angry: "Who's bothering me? Don't hold me back!"
Mingzhu kicked the troublesome guy aside, and Jiang Yuncheng was caught off guard and fell face-first into the dirt.
This wasn't what angered him the most. At the same time, the red threads of magic on the money sword in his hand suddenly broke inch by inch, and the copper coins clattered and fell to the ground.
Jiang Yuncheng was going crazy: "My money sword!!!"
Ming Zhuo glanced at it casually, not taking it seriously, but instead checked on Gu Xu.
"Are you alright? I'm sorry, I just remembered something."
She apologized for her momentary lapse in concentration, but there were some things she only remembered when she came into contact with them, such as how to break free from that black chain.
Gu Xu stared intently at her with his dark eyes. "Are you alright?"
He felt that Mingzhuo's state just now was not right, his eyes were full of cold and nonchalant killing intent.
Mingzhu blinked. "I'm fine. He can't beat me."
Shen Ruodi stared at her in surprise, his expression completely changing. "Who exactly are you?"
"You've asked me this question so many times, isn't it annoying!" Ming Zhuo sighed, her chest still brimming with intense killing intent.
The opponent was prepared to forcibly open the Demon Path to deal with her, even at the cost of injuring both himself and the enemy.
He himself also wanted to take this opportunity to kill him completely.
She gripped the peach wood sword and attacked, saying, "Wouldn't it be better to just kill them sooner? Why make such a fuss? I have to catch a flight early tomorrow morning!"
As Shen Ruodi dodged, his magical power waned, and the underground cave entrance began to close.
He wanted to continue casting the spell, but the evil spirits seemed to realize that the cave entrance was about to close, and they surged out even more frantically, their mournful cries making people feel uneasy.
It's as if it's about to break through the barrier and descend to the mortal realm at any moment.
Mingzhuo angrily slammed the peach wood sword into the ground, and the invisible sword energy spread out, dissolving the nearby yin energy and ghosts inch by inch.
"You ugly thing, you're so noisy, go back to hell!"
The evil spirits reluctantly retreated, and the underground entrance slammed shut, returning everything to normal, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.
Shen Ruodi coughed up a mouthful of blood. He had tried to summon the Evil Ghost Path at the cost of his own flesh and blood, but he still failed.
The man was covered in blood, practically a blood-soaked figure. He knew that once he forced open that door, his body would be completely unusable, so he felt no regret.
Shen Ruodi: "You are very good. I will definitely come back again."
He had lived in the world for hundreds of years and had never suffered such a great loss. He was unwilling but had no choice but to admit defeat.
Ah Yin once said that people shouldn't think that their clan's forbidden techniques are so powerful. They can only connect to hell and open a path for evil spirits. It's not like anyone can't do that.
He thought to himself, "How many girls in the world are as capable as you? Only you are not as fearful of my abilities as the rest of the world."
But why did such a capable girl ultimately die?
He thought about it for hundreds of years, and he longed for it for hundreds of years, but he was still filled with resentment and bitterness!
His obsession was so deep that he couldn't let go or see things clearly. He was determined to obtain the vessel to revive Ah Yin, no matter the cost!
In the moment before his physical body was about to die, he used his last bit of spiritual power to focus on his eyes, restoring his sight so he could look at the girl who had caused him so much trouble.
In that instant, his eyes were filled with disbelief!
"you……"
Li Wenhe's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped in front of Ming Zhuo to block him.
He had heard that the intense obsession of a dying person could turn into a curse, or even brand them, making it easier for evil spirits to come and seek revenge.
This guy is incredibly wicked; who knows if he's still plotting to use Mingzhuo as a sacrifice?
Shen Ruodi raised his hand as if to say something, but suddenly his body fell down and he was completely silent.
Li Wenhe eyed the corpse warily for a few seconds, then stepped forward to check its pulse and said to Ming Zhuo, "Dead."
Hou Zhihui had a dreamy expression on her face, feeling both grateful that she had finally escaped with her life and amazed at how terrifying Ming Zhuo's strength was—was he even human?
"This evil spirit has finally been vanquished? That's wonderful!!"
Mingzhuo stepped forward and picked up a wooden puppet from beside Shen Ruodi's body.
He Wangyao was still shaken. "It's probably best not to pick up this guy's things."
Who knows if it's safe or not? He always felt that the puppet was too lifelike, and its handsome features even bore a resemblance to Shen Ruodi.
The puppet was dressed in ancient clothing, and its hairstyle unexpectedly suited Shen Ruodi's face, making it a perfect candidate for ancient costume.
Gu Xu thought for a moment, "Why don't you let me see the puppet?"
If it's just an ordinary evil spirit, it can probably be purified after passing through his hands.
Mingzhu shook his head. "No need. There's nothing unclean in here."
Hou Zhihui suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Master! Congratulations, you've got the 50 million yuan prize!"
Upon hearing this, Mingzhuo's previously dejected expression immediately changed, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up. "Yes, I should be able to receive this bonus, right?"
"Yes, it's possible!" Hou Zhihui nodded enthusiastically, happy for Mingzhuo.
Li Wenhe: "..."
He knew it! This person is always after money and makes no attempt to hide it; he has absolutely no air of superiority or wisdom!
Mingzhuo then looked at Gu Xu, who sighed helplessly, "Alright, I understand. All fifty million is yours."
"Everything belongs to her, that's not fair!" Jiang Yuncheng immediately protested.
He glared angrily at Hou Zhihui, that traitor! Then he looked at Gu Xu and said impatiently, "Do you even have the right to speak here? Get out of here!"
An ordinary person accidentally broke the restriction that he had been struggling to break for a long time!
He was filled with nameless rage and stepped in front of the crowd.
"You lot from the mainland, get back to the mainland! What does the bounty offered by the Hong Kong Xuanmen Association have to do with you?"
"Also, you've damaged the money sword, you must compensate for it!" He raised his hand and pointed at the water, "Leave the peach wood sword in your hand!"
