Chapter 78 The Descends of the Evil God
The powerful intervention of Benling Sword and Yuyuwu was like laying a solid pillar on a ship about to capsize, quickly stabilizing the previously collapsing defenses and even initiating a counter-offensive.
The morale of the Saniwa and the sword spirits soared, and the golden healing aura and sharp sword light shone brightly, forcefully suppressing and tearing apart the surging offensive of the Time Retrograde Army.
However, the three clan heads hiding in the shadows would naturally not allow their offerings to be taken back.
Above the ten thousand houses, at the center of the ever-swirling black vortex, three low, synchronized cold laughs suddenly rang out. The laughter wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling coldness that went straight to the soul, instantly drowning out the clamor of the battlefield.
"Oh……"
"That's enough, you ignorant insects."
The moment the words fell, three figures appeared like ghosts in the middle of the dilapidated street. They were none other than Qi Shan Yue, Sen Chuan Qin Ye, and Gu Yu Fei Yue, the three heads of the family.
They were enveloped in a thick, black aura of resentment, visible to the naked eye. This aura writhed and churned like living things, emanating an evil and ominous aura that sent chills down one's spine.
The spirits, sensing the difference in their auras, frowned and shooed the Saniwa behind them to a safe place.
Morikawa Kino glanced casually, his gaze landing on a young Saniwa hiding in a corner. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the air—
"Ughh ...
A shrill scream suddenly echoed throughout the area. Several jet-black, venomous snake-like streams of resentment transformed into chains, which emerged from Morikawa Kino's body without warning and instantly wrapped around the Saniwa's limbs and neck!
The chains were not physical; they remained unharmed even when swords struck them. They greedily absorbed the spiritual energy within the Saniwa's body, forcibly drawing the golden energy away, causing the young Saniwa's body to visibly wither away!
His skin lost its luster, his eyes quickly became dull, and finally he collapsed to the ground like a rag doll carelessly discarded by the roadside, and never uttered a sound again.
The whole process was so fast that no one had time to react!
Qingye was the first to arrive, his gaze instantly locking onto the Saniwa whose spiritual energy had been drained. Although he already had a guess, he still crouched down to examine him, finally looking at Imaizumi, who was clearly the Saniwa rushing over, and shook his head.
"Feel sorry"
He looked warily at the three family heads who had appeared there, glanced at the low-level Saniwa huddled together behind him, and his mind raced. That kind of method was simply impossible to defend against. It was still unknown whether ordinary barriers would be effective, and with his current spiritual power, he could not support a high-level barrier for long.
"Don't get entangled with them. Our only goal is the Saniwa," Gu Yufeiyue reminded them before disappearing from the spot.
Qingye frowned and immediately looked towards the area where the Saniwa were most concentrated. Qishan Yue's figure appeared silently behind a female Saniwa.
The space suddenly distorted, and black resentment surged towards her like a swamp, forming a closed cage. In terror, she pounded on the barrier formed by the resentment, and golden spiritual power was drawn away from her body.
"No...no!"
Qingye clicked his tongue, and golden spiritual energy condensed into sharp spikes that attacked Qi Shanyue as he tried to stop her.
Unfortunately, it did not succeed.
He could only watch as the female Saniwa's spiritual power rapidly drained away, her desperate cries for help growing weaker and weaker until, like the former, she was drained of all her spiritual power and collapsed helplessly in the cage of resentment.
at the same time
Gu Yu Feiyue raised her hand and gently clenched it from a distance.
"Thump!"
With several muffled thuds, the Saniwa didn't even have time to scream before they felt as if their hearts were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, their spiritual energy flowing uncontrollably backward, boiling, and then being forcibly extracted from their bodies!
When Ranluo and Yuyuwu arrived, they witnessed this cruel scene.
"You damned thing!!" Ranlu cursed, her orange beast eyes filled with rage.
Yu Yuwu gently patted her shoulder to prevent Ranlu from being blinded by anger. "Calm down, don't let them lead you by the nose."
Gu Yu Feiyue quickly noticed Yu Yuwu, her gaze lingering for a moment on her striking, half-white, half-black long hair.
A subtle, amused, and malicious change appeared on her face, which held a hint of wickedness. She deliberately spoke in a tone that sounded like casual conversation between acquaintances, yet was loud enough for everyone around to hear:
"Oh? Look who this is..." Gu Yufei's voice carried a feigned surprise, her gaze like a cold, venomous snake coiling around Yu Yuwu.
"Isn't this Miyuki, one of the S-rank Saniwa? It hasn't been that long since we last met, but the color of your hair... is getting more and more 'unique'."
She deliberately elongated the word "unique," the sarcasm in which was self-evident.
Upon hearing this, Morikawa Kino followed Gu Yufei's gaze and, upon seeing Yu Yuwu's half-white hair, his face instantly revealed undisguised contempt and mockery.
He spoke as if he had seen something utterly ridiculous and filthy, replying in a sarcastic tone:
"Heh, you're willing to use sacrificial formations to oppose us." His contemptuous gaze lingered on Yu Yuwu's slightly pale face. "How much lifespan can a human like you afford to overdraft? How foolish."
Although Qi Shanyue did not speak, her cold gaze fell on Yu Yuwu, and a faint but extremely insulting smile appeared on her lips, as if she was silently agreeing with the judgment of the other two.
Yu Yuwu is seen as a pathetic, self-destructive fool.
The three men's words and gazes were like poisoned icicles, piercing Yu Yuwu with pinpoint accuracy. They trampled on her dignity and beliefs in the most vicious way, trying to break her fighting spirit.
Upon hearing this, some of the bewildered Saniwa and Touken instinctively looked at Miyuki's unusual hair color, their gazes filled with a complex mix of surprise and disbelief.
"My lord..." Yukiri Hasebe called out anxiously from beside Yu Yuwu, his knuckles white with anger as he gripped his sword, wishing he could rush up and chop those three arrogant family heads to pieces.
Despite being publicly humiliated, Yu Yuwu remained calm. She slightly raised her head to meet the three malicious gazes. Her face showed no anger, shame, or breakdown as the others had expected.
She even gently brushed aside Ranluo's hand, which she instinctively tried to block in front of her, took half a step forward, and responded in a clear and steady voice:
"I don't regret it. As puppets of the family, you could never understand my decision."
People who have been brainwashed by the concept of "family interests" since childhood only see profit. Naturally, they would not understand Yu Yuwu's "unprofitable" or even "loss-making" behavior.
Ranlu crossed her arms and looked back with the same disdain, her tone contemptuous: "Heh, just a defeated opponent of ours, yet you dare to spout nonsense here."
Qi Shanyue, who had confronted Ranluo, was drawn to these words. Her expression was inscrutable, seemingly unconcerned about the provocation from this little fox, Ranluo.
"Our real plan hasn't even begun yet," Qi Shanyue's tone carried a hint of madness and awe. "Are you ready to witness the majesty of the gods?"
She and the other two family heads looked up at the constantly spinning black vortex that seemed to connect to an endless abyss, their eyes revealing a twisted expression of fanaticism and awe.
As if summoned, the resentment around them surged up wildly, transforming into three thick torrents of resentment that violently poured into the center of the vortex!
"Gurgle...gurgle gurgle..."
A chilling sound, as if some enormous, viscous substance was writhing, came from the depths of the vortex. Then, the vortex abruptly stopped spinning, and its color changed from pitch black to a deeper, darker hue, as if it could absorb all light.
Then, it started to "flow" down.
It was no longer a torrent of time flowing backward, but rather like the breaking of some kind of container, with a huge, amorphous "thing" slowly dripping and spilling out from the center of the vortex.
Its main body seems to be a viscous liquid formed from the purest black, and its texture is like a huge, constantly wriggling black jelly.
It has no fixed facial features, no clearly defined limbs. It is just a massive body that constantly twists, expands, and contracts.
While everyone was stunned, the unidentified object extended several black arms, precisely locked onto the rampaging Time Travelers around it, and quickly pulled them into its body, leaving only a chilling "gurgling" sound similar to swallowing.
An evil god has descended!
It simply existed there, and an indescribable evil pressure, far surpassing that of the three family heads, swept through the entire Wanwu like a tsunami!
This oppressive aura instantly turned many weaker Saniwa pale, their legs went weak, and they could barely stand. The fear, stemming from their very souls, prevented them from even having the slightest thought of resistance.
Ranluo, who shared the same white fox bloodline as Hanzhou, was instantly targeted by the evil god. She felt a venomous snake crawling up her neck from her tail, breathing cold air into her ear.
It makes your hair stand on end
Subconsciously, Ranluo's tail bristled again, and the spiritual energy around her became even denser, attempting to resist the chilling aura.
Yu Yuwu looked up at the black, viscous form that blotted out the sky, her heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by an icy hand. She could sense that within that evil god lay the wails and despair of countless sacrificed souls.
"We can't let it spread any further!" Mikazuki Munechika noticed the evil god approaching them. His expression turned solemn, and even the crescent moon in his eyes seemed to be tinged with gravity. "Everyone who can still fight, protect the Saniwa! Form a defensive array!"
Without needing many words, all the spirit swords instantly sprang into action. They erupted with an even more dazzling spiritual light than before, and Yu Yuwu and the other two also released their own spiritual power, the two resonating with each other.
A massive arc-shaped barrier was quickly erected outside the remaining Saniwa ranks!
