The next second, the mid-level monster disguised as Lai Pi finally revealed its true form.
That mid-level monster that almost ate Dog Egg that day!
Lai Pi looked at Gou Dan, whose expression suddenly turned extremely frightened, and grinned with a terrifying expression, saying, "Don't be in a hurry, kid. We didn't manage to eat you last time, but you're next."
Qi Yu stood in front of Gou Dan, whose face was as pale as paper and who could not move, and comforted him, "Don't worry, the dean will be back soon."
Suppressing her pain, she calmly took out her communication jade and sent Wu Rouwan the message, "A mid-level demon has appeared. Return immediately." At the same time, she said to Lai Pi, "Isn't my target? Come at me directly."
Lai Pi's body still looked like a normal human, but his head had shed Lai Pi's face and turned into the appearance of a demon.
He extended his long, wet tongue and slowly licked his lips, saying, "Junior sister, greedy demons never think there's not enough food. The best, of course, should be saved for last..."
He stretched out his right hand, and a thick cloud of black mist suddenly grabbed the sitting Mu Luo and handed him to him.
Mu Luo, seemingly unaware of what was happening, was lifted up by Lai Pi with his neck in his hand without any reaction.
"Junior sister, your good senior brother is about to fall into demonic possession." Lai Pi laughed. "Don't you righteous cultivators consider demonic cultivators the most shameful? If I eat him, it will save you trouble. Let this filthy demon also experience how joyful it is to slay demons and eliminate evil."
Qi Yu looked at Mu Luo, whose eyes were deep and whose brows were furrowed with worry, and cried out anxiously, "Senior brother, move quickly! Senior sister saved you, not so that you would die at the hands of the demons!"
The system's punishment was not over yet; even speaking a single word intensified the pain, leaving her utterly powerless to move.
Mu Luo remained motionless, seemingly immersed in her own world, unable to hear the sounds of the outside world.
Lai Pi's grin widened, as if he were about to bite Mu Luo's neck off.
Qi Yu clenched his fists and summoned the fire phoenix again, driving it to fly towards Lai Pi.
However, Lai Pi was holding onto Mu Luo, and whenever Huo Feng tried to get close, Lai Pi would push Mu Luo out to block her. She had no way to get around Mu Luo and burn Lai Pi to death!
Having to endure the pain of system punishment while also manipulating the Fire Phoenix to restrain Lai Pi, Qi Yu was panting heavily, his heart was beating faster and faster, and finally he could not bear it and collapsed to the ground.
The fiery phoenix vanished into the sky.
She had no strength left.
Gou Dan, who had a psychological trauma from Lai Pi, was still hiding in a corner, trembling with fear.
Qi Yu, panting, watched as Lai Pi, holding Mu Luo in his hand, approached step by step, her eyes slowly shifting to a pink figure.
The girl in pink stood behind Lai Pi, her hair disheveled, her eyes bloodshot, and with a fierce expression, she swung her sword and slashed at Lai Pi's back.
Lai Pi was caught off guard and his body was slashed to the side, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Xu Shen Shen slashed off Lai Pi's hands and feet with several more sword strikes, and then caught Mu Luo, who was about to fall to the ground.
She still had Xu Lanyue's heart blood on her hands, yet she slapped Mu Luo across the face twice.
"You good-for-nothing!"
"My sister died to save you, you good-for-nothing!"
Xu Shengsheng slapped Mu Luo's face viciously, one slap after another, her anger palpable, yet she couldn't help but choke back tears.
"Your sister is dead! She was willing to die to save you, how can you be so careless with your own life!"
"If you just die like this, wouldn't my sister have died in vain!"
"Sister, how could you be so foolish..."
"Mu Luo, I hate you." Xu Shengsheng finally broke down in tears, "You're all dead, what am I going to do..."
A glimmer of light slowly appeared in Mu Luo's lifeless eyes.
He looked at the face that resembled Xu Lanyue's yet possessed a completely different temperament, and his pupils trembled slightly.
"deeply……"
He pulled Xu Shen into his arms and burst into tears.
Qi Yu watched them hug each other and cry their hearts out, and couldn't bear to interrupt them.
But Lai Pi had already gotten up from the ground and reconstituted the new hands and feet with black mist.
She had no choice but to shout, "It's not too late to cry after you've dealt with Lai Pi!"
Mu Luo released Xu Shen Shen and looked at Lai Pi, who seemed completely unaffected.
If Lai Pi hadn't led the demons to infiltrate the Spirit Academy, Xu Lanyue, who should have been living a gentle life in the safe Spirit Academy, wouldn't have lost her life to save him.
A dark red glint flashed in his eyes as he waved his hand to recall his sword, saying in a deep voice, "You deserve to die."
Lai Pi laughed out loud, "Senior brother, even if you've fallen into demonic ways, don't be so arrogant."
"Whether it's big or not, we'll only know after we fight it," Mu Luo said coldly.
Having nearly fallen into demonic possession, his strength has greatly increased, and his every move is even more ferocious than in the previous sword tournament.
Xu Shen Shen also drew her sword and joined the battle.
Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched them fight back and forth, without being completely crushed by Lai Pi.
She lay on the ground; the system's punishment was no longer as severe as it had been initially, but it still made it difficult for her to move.
She glanced at Gou Dan and said, "Gou Dan, don't be afraid. Drag me aside so they don't hit me."
Hearing this, Gou Dan, who was hiding in the corner, glanced at Lai Pi, who had regained his human form, and mustered up his courage to run over and drag Qi Yu, who was lying on the ground, to a safe place.
He said somewhat helplessly, "Sister, I'm sorry, I did terribly today..."
Qi Yu sighed softly and said only, "It's not your fault."
If she could go back to her childhood, back to the time when she was violently beaten by her father, she would probably be too frightened to move if she saw him.
He has been brave enough.
The communication jade talisman lit up; it was Wu Rouwan's reply.
"We'll be there soon. How's the situation at the Spirit Academy?"
Qi Yu glanced at them, then silently turned her gaze to Mu Luo and the others.
Lai Pi was still in control at this time. No matter how much Mu Luo and Xu Shen Shen stabbed him, he could always recover completely in no time.
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out from afar, followed by the incessant screams of the monsters.
Qi Yu's spirits lifted.
The rescue team has arrived.
Lai Pi kicked Mu Luo and Xu Shen Shen aside with both feet and listened intently.
Then, he chuckled and looked at Qi Yu.
"Qi Yu, you're lucky this time. You won't be so lucky next time."
"You'd better live well, or you might get eaten by some other monster instead of me."
His deep purple eyes were fixed on Qi Yu, and he said meaningfully:
"After all, in the eyes of us demons, you are the most delicious thing..."
After saying that, he transformed into a cloud of black mist and flew away from the courtyard.
Qi Yu gritted his teeth, half-propped himself up, and summoned the fire phoenix to chase after Lai Pi.
The black mist was extremely fast, and the fire phoenix was not far behind. Just as the black mist was flying higher and higher, about to break through the barrier above the Spirit Academy.
The next second, the black mist seemed to have hit an invisible barrier, and was violently smashed away, grazing the wings of the pursuing fire phoenix, and falling back to the ground.
Lai Pi, who had transformed back into human form, had blood at the corner of his mouth. One of his arms, which had been burned by the fire phoenix, was now slowly growing back.
He stared in astonishment at the barrier above the Spirit Courtyard, then turned his gaze to the several figures that had suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
The man, dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, held a round plate in one hand and several talismans in the other. His face was stern and solemn; he was none other than the Dingfeng Zhenren of Qiankun Fortress.
