"I must stop you!" Feng'er said through gritted teeth. "Even if it costs me my life, I will stop you from harming more innocent people!"
The city lord looked down in disbelief at the dagger in front of his chest, blood continuously gushing from between his fingers.
He raised his head, looking at Feng'er in despair, and said in a trembling voice, "No! If I die, no one can suppress the dragon soul in that furnace!"
“I know,” Feng’er said weakly, “but I can’t let you kill more innocent people to suppress the dragon soul. Even if there is an even greater disaster, we must face it in the right way, not by sacrificing others!”
The city lord laughed, and then burst into maniacal laughter.
He certainly never imagined, even in his death, that he would be ruined by his own woman.
Just then, a deafening dragon roar came from the direction of the city lord's study, shaking the heavens and the earth.
As Feng'er gazed at the city lord whose breath was growing weaker, a hint of pity flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
She did nothing wrong! And she had to do it!
She bit her lower lip tightly: "I will definitely stop the dragon soul from harming Mo Yuan City, so you can go in peace!"
With that, she raised her right hand, an invisible force gathering in her palm, and slammed it hard against the city lord's crown.
With a "crack," the city lord's skull shattered instantly, and his life was completely extinguished.
At the same time, the sky suddenly changed color.
The once clear blue sky was instantly shrouded in blood, and the crimson clouds, like boiling magma, surged and pressed down on Mo Yuan City.
The scene was like the end of the world, sending chills down one's spine.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow roared out from the direction of the study.
That was the true form of the Dragon Soul, its enormous size was breathtaking.
It was surrounded by thick black mist, exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
What is most terrifying are its blood-red eyes, like two blood moons hanging in the sky, as if they are about to devour the entire world.
Seeing this, Feng'er knew that the situation was urgent.
Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, her fingers moving nimbly and rapidly, while she chanted a spell softly. In an instant, resentment from all directions converged upon her like black smoke.
Ultimately, it all flowed into Feng'er's body.
Xiao Feng watched all this and knew that Feng'er was using herself as a vessel to absorb resentment, which was undoubtedly risking her life.
He wanted to step forward and stop it, but he also knew that this might be the only way to stop the dragon soul.
Feng'er turned to look at Xiao Feng and said firmly, "Xiao Feng, I will use my body as a vessel. As long as I absorb the resentment of the dragon soul, Mo Yuan City will be at peace."
"Don't you regret doing this?"
Feng'er remained calm, with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.
She looked directly into Xiao Feng's eyes and answered without hesitation, "There's nothing to regret. For the sake of Mo Yuan City and the innocent people, this is my duty."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng'er closed her eyes tightly and began to silently chant a spell.
As the incantation was chanted, countless streams of black resentment surged toward her like snakes.
Resentment surged into Feng'er's body, causing her to tremble violently and her face to show an expression of extreme pain.
With each wisp of resentment she absorbed, her body would convulse violently, as if she were being torn apart by a thousand cuts.
However, even in such pain, Feng'er gritted her teeth and persevered.
Seeing Feng'er enduring such immense pain, Xiao Feng wanted to step forward and stop her, but he couldn't.
Finally, with a deafening dragon's roar, all the resentment was absorbed by the wind.
She smiled weakly and whispered, "Xiao Feng, I did it... Mo Yuan City is safe..."
But at this moment, resentment was rampaging through her body.
Feng'er gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain caused by the raging resentment within her body, and flew towards the ancient formation of Mo Yuan City.
Her figure swayed precariously in the air, as if she might fall at any moment.
Xiao Feng followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on the petite figure ahead, as if afraid she might suddenly disappear.
"What is Feng'er trying to do?" Xiao Feng wondered to himself, but dared not make a sound to disturb him.
Finally, the two arrived at the central square of Moyuan City.
Here stands a huge stone platform, covered with mysterious and complex runes.
Without hesitation, Feng'er landed in the center of the stone platform, formed a hand seal, and chanted incantations.
In an instant, the entire stone platform lit up with a dazzling light, and countless runes seemed to come alive, flying and swirling in the air.
Xiao Feng was so shocked by this mysterious scene that he was speechless and could only stand there dumbfounded.
"Is this the ancient formation? It's amazing!"
The wind in the light trembled violently, its face contorted in agony.
Black resentment was seen constantly emanating from her body, intertwining and clashing with the light of the great formation.
Xiao Feng was terrified and wanted to rush over to help, but he didn't know what to do.
He could clearly feel the immense pain that Feng'er was enduring.
Just then, Feng'er suddenly raised her head and, with her last ounce of strength, said to Xiao Feng, "Please, help me deal with the Dragon Soul..."
Her voice was so weak it was almost inaudible.
Xiao Feng's heart trembled. He wanted to say something, but he saw that Feng'er's body had begun to become transparent.
"No!" Xiao Feng shouted, reaching out to grab Feng'er, but only grasping at nothingness.
In the blink of an eye, Feng'er's figure vanished completely, leaving only Xiao Feng standing beside the stone platform.
His fists clenched, his eyes filled with tears, and his heart was filled with admiration for Feng'er.
This woman possessed decisive spiritual power; she would do whatever she wanted, even at the cost of her life.
"Why? Why sacrifice yourself?" Xiao Feng cried out in his heart, but received no response.
Suppressing his grief, Xiao Feng turned and ran towards the center of Mo Yuan City.
He hoped that Feng'er's sacrifice could stop the dragon soul's rampage, but the scene before him filled him with utter despair.
The dragon spirit continued to fly freely in the air, causing houses to collapse and people to scatter wherever it went.
The dragon soul opened its blood-red maw and spewed out raging flames, instantly turning the entire street into a sea of fire.
Countless innocent people were engulfed by flames, and their shrill screams were terrifying.
With a casual swipe of its enormous claws, even sturdy buildings crumbled as if made of paper.
Standing on the street, looking at this apocalyptic scene, Xiao Feng's anger burned ever brighter.
The people in the city scattered and fled, their cries echoing everywhere.
"I can't just stand by and do nothing, but the Dragon Soul is too powerful. How should I deal with it?"
"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try!"
Xiao Feng channeled his immortal power, and with a gust of wind beneath his feet, he instantly flew into the air.
He looked directly into Dragon Soul's eyes and shouted, "Dragon Soul, stop!"
Dragon Soul suddenly turned his head, his blood-red eyes fixed on Xiao Feng.
It opened its blood-red maw and roared, "Get out of my way! Mind your own business if you don't want to die!"
