When the men saw their companion die at their feet, their faces instantly turned from fear to rage.
One of them flashed a cold glint in his eyes, determined to give the fox spirit in front of him a terrible price. He shouted at her, "You little demon, how dare you hurt my second brother! Prepare to die!"
He pulled out six talismans from his body and flung them out forcefully. The runes shimmered with a dark light, and under his master's control, the talismans burst forth with a dazzling golden light, completely enveloping Su Yuxi in the center.
However, in the blink of an eye, a sudden change occurred.
With a loud bang, an explosion resounded in the air. The power of the rune suddenly reversed, and the surging magical power vibrated, affecting the surrounding area. The people outside were caught off guard and were all struck by the powerful golden light.
They were immediately sent flying several meters away, crashing to the ground, their bodies churning with blood, and they suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, their faces a mixture of surprise, confusion, and pain.
Not only did the enemy not know what was going on, but Su Yuxi didn't know either. Her claws were still raised high, intending to tear up those talismans.
The talisman hasn't even been touched yet, but the enemy has already fallen.
"Qu Chao, what's going on? I told you to fight demons, why are you attacking your own people?"
The man named Qu Chao was deathly pale. The talisman was his, and he suffered the most severe backlash: "I originally intended to hit the fox spirit, but I don't know why it all bounced back."
Who could have imagined that this great demon's strength would be so terrifying, easily deflecting his demon-slaying talisman with a mere wave of its hand.
It seems that they did not underestimate the great demon, but rather they overestimated themselves.
They gritted their teeth, enduring the pain, their eyes quickly exchanging glances, silently conveying a certain determination.
Suddenly, a man shouted and leaped up from the ground, pulling out two explosive balls from his body. Inside were sand powders that even fairies would avoid. Although not fatal, they could temporarily paralyze their vision and senses, giving them a chance to escape.
Before it even hit the ground, it was frozen in mid-air by a force, which also bound the group of people who were trying to escape, leaving them suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
They struggled desperately with all their might, every muscle taut as a string, veins bulging on their foreheads, their clothes soaked with cold sweat of fear, yet they still couldn't move an inch.
In the end, they could only place their hopes on the elder leading the group.
Unfortunately, the elder is currently preoccupied with his own problems and is also desperately searching for a solution.
But no matter how much I think about it, it seems like I can't escape safely.
At this moment, they are isolated and helpless, and can only wait for fate to decide their fate in this cage of unknown forces.
After pondering for a while, the elder half-raised his head and looked at Su Yuxi. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth and his eyes were dark. He had already made a decision.
"Everyone, listen to my command, mobilize your inner energy, and unleash the Hunyuan Technique."
Upon hearing this, the air seemed to freeze. The Hunyuan Technique could gather all their power to deliver a fatal blow to this great demon, but the cost would be to inflict heavy damage on both sides. They would not use it unless absolutely necessary.
But they also knew that there was no turning back now; they had no choice but to go all out.
Everyone focused their minds, slowly closed their eyes, and low murmurs rose and fell. In a few breaths, a powerful force traveled along the meridians, eventually converging at their fingertips, forming countless points of light. A force not to be underestimated was gradually gathering.
Su Yuxi's mind suddenly went blank, and the spiritual power in her body surged uncontrollably and eventually burst out of her body.
The sky above was completely blocked out, and the wind howled incessantly. The surrounding trees were forcibly uprooted and torn to pieces in the storm.
Those who witnessed the shocking scene paled in shock, realizing that something was wrong. Fear spread through their bodies like a plague, and they could not believe that a demon could possibly possess spiritual power.
Moreover, their Hunyuan Technique could not possibly unleash such a monstrous hurricane.
"What happened?"
No one can answer that.
Suddenly, a beam of white light burst from the sky, like the wrath of a god, and struck them instantly.
Their muscles were wracked with excruciating pain, and the true energy they had summoned, along with the spiritual power hidden within their bodies, was uncontrollably dissipating from their bodies.
A series of sharp, ear-piercing screams echoed throughout the forest.
All the spiritual energy and true qi in the entire space continuously converged into Su Yuxi's stomach.
After absorbing all their energy, the entire formation collapsed with a roar, and the gale and flying sand and stones gradually subsided, as if nothing had ever happened.
The people whose skin was as tender as a young boy's just moments ago now had withered cheeks and shriveled limbs. The intense tremor upon landing shattered their bones into dust.
A gust of wind blew, and the ashes were carried away by the breeze, leaving only a few pieces of clothing and a pool of blood on the ground.
Su Yuxi collapsed to the ground at some point, completely losing consciousness.
When she woke up again, it was three days later.
"Get out..." A sharp shout rang out in the room. Su Yuxi sat up straight on the bed, her chest heaving violently. She instinctively raised her hand, wanting to fend off the threat in front of her.
But there was nothing but emptiness in front of me.
Her gaze slowly focused as she realized she was in her familiar bedroom.
Fu Huaijin, who was working in his study, rushed over immediately upon hearing the noise.
Seeing that Su Yuxi had woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief. Without thinking, he strode over and pulled her into his arms: "Xixi, you're finally awake. Is anything bothering you?"
Su Yuxi's cold eyes still held a hint of chill; her mind seemed to still be immersed in the intense "battle" just now, unable to completely detach herself from it.
"Xixi, what's wrong?" Fu Huaijin gently cupped her face in his hands, carefully examining every inch of her expression, and then placed a light kiss on her soft lips.
"It's alright, I'm home now."
At this moment, Su Yuxi also fully woke up, pushed the man in front of her away forcefully, pulled off the quilt, and frantically touched her stomach.
"It's alright, don't worry, the child is fine."
Su Yuxi felt her belly grow a little bigger, and her heart was pounding. She had never been afraid when she was fighting for her life.
But this belly... is... can she say it's a freak?
She witnessed the extremely gruesome deaths of those people. Were those really normal fetuses?
“He…they…” Su Yuxi looked at Fu Huaijin with a helpless expression, her lips trembling slightly, as if every word carried a heavy weight, and she couldn’t bring herself to say those few words.
Fu Huaijin saw fear in her eyes, but thought she was frightened by something, so he hugged her tightly, gently patted her back, and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, the baby is fine, and you're okay too."
