Seeing the black energy that Chen Roujin had transformed into rushing towards her, she formed a Buddhist mudra with her left hand, gently pushed forward, and uttered a mantra: "Break..."
With a whoosh, a huge palm print formed out of thin air, like a wall, lying across the void.
Chen Roujin crashed headfirst into that giant palm.
A sound like a giant bell rang out, and waves rippled across the giant palm. Chen Roujin screamed and fell from mid-air.
Thump... She fell heavily to the ground under the tree. She struggled to get up, but after several attempts, she fell to the ground again and couldn't get up.
"You're quite clever, risking the Seven Evils to become a demon and transform into a demon body, taking advantage of the moment when the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Subduing Formation paused to escape."
Ye Xingchen followed, and Su Ruochu, her entire body enveloped in a layer of golden light, also gently swayed down from mid-air.
"Unfortunately, I'm determined to take your life. Do you think you can escape?"
"To win with superior numbers is despicable...shameless." Chen Roujin lay on the ground, trembling.
Although her demonic body had been defeated, she had ultimately fallen into the demonic path.
Therefore, half of her body was covered with a layer of fine scales, and half of her face was completely dark, making her look extremely terrifying.
"A half-demon body..." Su Ruochu looked at Chen Roujin with a complicated expression: "Do you know what a price you will have to pay?"
"From this day forward, you are no longer human, but a demon. Is there any meaning in living in this world with a demonic body?"
"Heh, Su Ruochu, stop pretending." Chen Roujin said sternly, "I ask you, if you hadn't met Ye Xingchen, would you have been able to avenge your great grudge?"
"If you can't take revenge, but you have an opportunity to kill your enemy, the price of which is becoming a demon, would you give up this opportunity?"
Su Ruochu's expression shifted slightly. Yes, if that were really the case, would she give up this opportunity?
"Ruochu, don't let her spread her lies and bewitch people." Ye Xingchen grasped Su Ruochu's hand, then looked coldly at Chen Roujin: "Neither human nor ghost, she's of no use staying in this world."
"Are you going to end your own life, or should I send you on your way?"
"Haha, Ye Xingchen, you are the victor." Chen Roujin struggled to her feet and shouted sharply, "You can use the victor's posture to judge me from a high and mighty position."
“But my life, Chen Roujin’s life, is destined to be in my own hands. Unless I am willing to die, no one can take my life away.”
"Then you shall end your own life." Ye Xingchen tossed out a dagger: "The attribute I have imbued on this dagger is called Demon-Slaying."
"It's perfect for cutting open your demonic body."
"Take this dagger and end your own life now."
Seeing the dagger lying on the ground, Chen Roujin gritted her teeth, reached out, and grabbed it.
Her hand, strictly speaking, was no longer a hand, but a sharp claw covered with fine scales. She broke through the seven evils and entered the demonic realm, achieving a demonic body, which was a fighting style of mutual destruction.
She only managed to escape during the brief moment when Ye Xingchen unleashed the tribulation of all living beings, which created the great formation.
But she only had one chance, and she didn't seize it well, so this was the only outcome she could have.
With trembling hands, she grabbed the dagger, and the enchanted blade immediately made her hand crackle and burn.
One of her hands quickly turned into a skeleton, but that skeletal hand still gripped the dagger tightly, refusing to let go.
"Ye Xingchen, you are the victor." Chen Roujin raised her head, making no attempt to hide the resentment in her eyes: "But you must remember, if I have even the slightest chance, I will not let you go. Even if I become a ghost, I will fight you to the death."
"Save those harsh words for someone else," Ye Xingchen glanced at her, making no attempt to hide the pity in his eyes.
"You have been possessed by the Seven Evils and transformed into a demonic body. The consequence of doing so is that you have sacrificed your own soul. Strictly speaking, your soul no longer belongs to you."
"If you die, your soul will fall into the Netherworld and become nourishment for demons. So do you think you have a chance to start over?"
"Ah..." Chen Roujin let out a hysterical scream, staring hatefully at Ye Xingchen: "It's you...it's all your fault, everything I have now was taken away by you."
"Whose fault is all this, Chen Roujin?" Ye Xingchen said helplessly, "It's all your fault for being born into the Chen family, it's all your fault for being Chen Zhengyi's daughter."
"Besides, you yourself are a madman. We didn't have much of a grudge between us to begin with, so let bygones be bygones."
"But you've been relentlessly biting me like a mad dog, even going so far as to cultivate the body of the Ghost Mother. You've only brought this upon yourself; you really have no one else to blame but yourself."
“You are the winner, you can say whatever you want, but you must remember that as long as I, Chen Roujin, have the slightest chance, I will make a comeback, and when that happens, I will still fight you to the death.”
Chen Roujin roared, grabbed the dagger, and plunged it into her heart without hesitation.
Her demonic heart was suddenly pierced, and the enchanted dagger emitted puffs of black smoke the moment it touched her skin.
She screamed and collapsed to the ground, black energy emanating from her body as the enchanted properties gradually eroded her demonic form.
In the end, her body turned into a dry skeleton.
This arrogant woman finally died, and she died with endless resentment.
Ye Xingchen confirmed again and again that she was dead, and even with his full divine sense, he could not find where her soul was.
“She’s dead,” Su Ruochu stepped forward and asked softly.
"He is indeed dead." Ye Xingchen withdrew his divine sense and murmured, "Strange, really too strange."
"Is something wrong?" Su Ruochu looked up and stared at Ye Xingchen.
“Her primordial spirit… has vanished.” Ye Xingchen said, “I have enchanted this dagger with a spell, which is extremely harmful to her half-demonized body.”
"But it wouldn't be to the point where she would be completely destroyed, body and soul."
Su Ruochu closed her eyes and used her divine sense to examine Chen Roujin's corpse, scanning it from top to bottom several times, but still found nothing.
She opened her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly: "Indeed, her primordial spirit did not leave her body, but it is no longer there."
"Let's go." Ye Xingchen closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before opening them.
"Don't you want to figure it out?" Su Ruochu asked.
“First of all, she is indeed dead,” Ye Xingchen said. “Moreover, even we two experts in celestial phenomena couldn’t find the location of her primordial spirit using our divine senses, so there are only two possibilities.”
"First, the enchanted dagger inflicted damage on her beyond imagination; she is now completely destroyed, both physically and mentally."
