Despite this, Xiao Wanchou refused to give in. He stared at Su Rui and Chi Jiao with wide eyes, his eyes revealing a deep unwillingness. However, his injuries were too severe and there was no way to save him. In the end, he could only breathe his last with endless regret.
As his vitality faded, Xiao Wanchou's body shrank rapidly, returning to its original size in the blink of an eye. His eyes slowly closed, as if he had lost all life, and he lay quietly on the cold ground.
Seeing this, Su Rui thought to himself: This guy is simply an indestructible cockroach! The fierce battle just now has made him realize what tenacious vitality is. If I don’t destroy the body, there might be something else unexpected! Thinking of this, he decided to give it another blow without hesitation.
A ball of black flame erupted from Su Rui's hand, hurling itself at the corpse like a ferocious dragon. Instantly, the blazing flames engulfed it, emitting a pungent smell and crackling sounds. A moment later, as the flames faded, the corpse lying on the ground was reduced to a pile of ash, which drifted away in the wind.
"Finally dead..."
Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling the thrilling battle scene and his opponent's extraordinary tenacity, he couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Wanchou merely stole a bit of the power of the Ancestral Witch bloodline to barely forge the so-called 'Great Witch Body,' yet he's been able to hold his own against me and the Red Dragon for so long. The Witch Clan truly lives up to their reputation. No wonder they were able to rival the once-mighty Ancient Demon Court. Their individual strength alone is truly astonishing!"
After expressing his feelings, Su Rui put away the Fa Tian Xiang Di, and the light around him flashed. In the blink of an eye, he turned back into the elegant and graceful young man. On the other hand, the red dragon beside him did not seem to have much feeling. He quickly transformed into a young girl and stood quietly beside him.
At that moment, several figures appeared before the two of them like ghosts, accompanied by a refreshing aroma. One of them spoke, "Thank you, fellow Daoists, for your help!"
It turned out to be Zhao Lingjun, leading several angelic female cultivators. Seeing that the battle was over, they came to greet Su Rui and Chi Jiao. She recognized Su Rui immediately; although they had only met once, she had acquired the art of mechanical maneuvering from Su Rui through a trade, and so he left a deep impression on her.
"My fellow Daoists, there's no need to be polite. This demon once plotted to murder me, and we have a deep hatred. This time, I'm just doing a piece of cake!" Su Rui returned the greeting and said frankly, "However, the reason I was able to find this place and successfully eliminate this villain is indeed related to Fellow Daoist Zhao's affairs."
Su Rui then briefly recounted how, upon returning to Qiongzhou City, the young man named "Xiao Liu" had requested his assistance, and how they had both gone to the City God Temple to pray for his help. Zhao Lingjun expressed her gratitude again and cordially invited Su Rui and Chi Jiao to visit the Huajian Sect.
Su Rui readily agreed to this.
As they walked and talked, Su Rui gradually understood the whole story. It turned out that there was no deep hatred between Zhao Lingjun and Xiao Wanchou. It was only because Xiao Wanchou accidentally discovered her half-demon identity that this crisis occurred.
According to Zhao Lingjun, her mother was a colorful butterfly demon with a special bloodline, and her father was an ordinary human. Therefore, although she was born in human form, she still has her mother's unique bloodline flowing in her body.
She had fled to the Huajian Sect because its headmaster was her closest friend, and because the sect also housed the Wanhua Formation, considered one of the strongest defenses in Qiongzhou. If even this formation couldn't stop Xiao Wanchou, even if she mastered some life-saving techniques, she would still struggle to escape his clutches!
Hearing this, Su Rui became curious about Zhao Lingjun's butterfly demon bloodline. However, out of courtesy, he did not ask any further questions.
At the same time, he also realized that Xiao Wanchou's desire for Zhao Lingjun's half-demon body might be related to some kind of witchcraft she practiced. As for the reason behind this, perhaps only Xiao Wanchou himself, who had already arrived at the Reincarnation Poster, knew the answer.
