Hua Yang Lao Zu raised his withered arm high, and when he spread his five fingers, strange ripples appeared in the air.
The controlled cultivators simultaneously assumed attack stances like marionettes, their swords, talismans, and magical artifacts all aimed at Bai Ying.
Their eyes were vacant, as if their souls were being controlled by some invisible force.
"Bai Ying, aren't you powerful?" The system's voice, transmitted through the mouth of Ancestor Huayang, echoed with a metallic resonance, as if two overlapping voices were speaking simultaneously. "Now, what are you going to do?" A twisted smile appeared on Ancestor Huayang's wrinkled face. "If they want to kill me, they'll protect me with their lives."
Bai Ying's fingertips trembled slightly. She could clearly see the faint blue dots on the backs of her companions' necks—the system's markings that controlled them. Qi Haoyuan's sword tip trembled incessantly, and Xuan Yuanchen's talisman burned in his palm, yet both were aimed at her.
"How pitiful." The system's voice suddenly softened, yet became even more malevolent. "From the very beginning, I've been draining your luck, living a miserable life." A stream of data suddenly flashed in Hua Yang Ancestor's right eye—a sign of the system's deep manipulation. "Now, those people you value most are about to be controlled by me again, hahahahaha. Your fate is to have your luck drained and die alone!"
The system was extremely pleased with itself at that moment.
Just now, Bai Ying's dragon scale artifact was only one step away from destroying it, and it spared no effort to consume its source power to preserve its last bit of life.
Now it's going all in, using all its remaining energy to control these monks.
Bai Ying could no longer kill it, so how could she possibly harm these fellow disciples?
"Hahahaha!" The laughter of Patriarch Huayang mingled eerily with the system's electronic voice, echoing through the valley. He swung his withered finger sharply, "Kill her!"
At this critical moment, a sudden change occurred!
The cultivators who were supposed to attack Bai Ying suddenly changed direction, and all their attacks were directed at Patriarch Hua Yang!
Yan Chiling's sword was the first to pierce, drawing a spray of blood from Huayang Patriarch's shoulder.
"What?!" Patriarch Huayang staggered backward as a shrill alarm sounded in his mind: "Warning! Control failure! Warning!"
Bai Ying knew her fellow disciples wouldn't be controlled, but... Yan Chiling...
Bai Ying looked at Yan Chiling with some surprise. She saw that the veins on his forehead were bulging and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth. He was obviously fighting a desperate battle against the system's control.
"Quickly...go..." he uttered through gritted teeth, while simultaneously unleashing a golden rope that bound his struggling fellow disciples tightly.
"This is impossible!" Old Ancestor Huayang roared, his face contorted into a terrifying shape with wrinkles. "They were clearly under my control! Why?"
Bai Ying smiled coldly. The smile was icy and chilling, carrying years of pent-up hatred.
"Do you think I don't know you can manipulate people?"
Yan Chiling suddenly turned her head to look at Bai Ying, her fingers clenching tightly.
Bai Ying slowly took out a jade bottle from her bosom. Inside, a faintly glowing emerald-green pill could be seen. "Do you think I would let this happen again?"
In her previous lives, Bai Ying died at the hands of the system, and in this life, she has been researching how to fight against the system.
Hua Yang Patriarch's pupils suddenly contracted. He recognized it—it was the legendary "Barrier-Breaking and Heart-Clearing Pill"!
This elixir requires a thousand-year-old snow lotus as a guide, combined with forty-nine rare medicinal herbs to be refined. Bai Ying actually...
"I've been preparing for this ever since I left Huayang Sect."
Bai Ying's voice was soft, yet every word was like a knife, "This time, every companion who traveled with me took it before setting off." Her gaze swept over her bound companions, and she saw the blue light in their eyes gradually fading.
"Do you think I'd let history repeat itself?"
But Yan Chiling... Bai Ying didn't expect him to appear here, and that he could actually break free from the system's control.
The system's electronic voice suddenly turned shrill and piercing: "Impossible! How could this kind of pill possibly cause my control to fail?"
Hua Yang Lao Zu's body began to twitch unnaturally, and blue data stream patterns appeared under his skin, which were signs that the system was struggling desperately.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yan Chiling thrust out his sword, the blade wreathed in blazing white flames. "This sword is for all those you have harmed!" His roar echoed through the valley.
Hua Yang Patriarch hastily dodged, but his robes were still torn by the sword energy.
Fear finally surfaced in his cloudy eyes. The system was collapsing, and he had lost his greatest support!
Bai Ying's dragon scale artifact shone with dazzling golden light once again. This time, she would not give her enemies any chance.
"it's over."
She spoke softly, and the magical artifact transformed into a stream of light, heading straight for Patriarch Huayang's heart.
At the same time, their companions, who were gradually regaining consciousness, also unleashed their magical weapons, forming an overwhelming offensive.
"You can't kill me! I am..." The roar of the Huayang Ancestor suddenly twisted and deformed, and the electronic voice of the system strangely overlapped with his voice: "Warning! Host's physical damage rate is 99%... Forced exit program activated..." The old demon's withered body suddenly swelled up like an inflating balloon, and the blue light under his skin flickered violently.
The moment the golden dragon pierced through his chest, countless magical treasures rained down from the sky.
In the intense light of the explosion, everyone could clearly see countless blue threads emerging from the seven orifices of Huayang Patriarch, twisting and struggling wildly in the air.
