Chapter 225 The Power of Origin
The Netherworld Umbrella sensed that its owner was in danger, and flew back to protect Lin Qingyue's head.
Dongfang Qi wanted to save Lin Qingyue, but the puppets around him rushed in like a tide, and soon the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
"Yueyue!" Dongfang Qi was in a hurry and kept swinging his sword to kill the puppet in front of him.
But just as he chopped down a group, more puppets appeared. He couldn't kill them all, and he could only watch helplessly as Lin Qingyue was surrounded by the puppets.
"Zheng Linggui, if you have the guts, come out and don't hide!" Dongfang Qi chopped off a puppet with a sword, and rotten blood splashed all over his face.
Zheng Linggui, who was hiding in the dark, saw that the time was ripe, and turned into a wisp of smoke, quietly gathering above Lin Qingyue.
Looking down from above, she could clearly see large pools of red blood flowing out from under Lin Qingyue's body.
The protective red umbrella also fell down weakly because it lost the support of its owner's spiritual power, covering half of Lin Qingyue's body.
And those puppets, feeling that the surrounding shield had been removed, pounced on Lin Qingyue's body with their fangs and claws, trying to devour her.
The time is ripe!
Zheng Linggui's soul gathered and took shape, and before those puppets could, he attached himself to Lin Qingyue's body at lightning speed.
For so many years, she has been looking for a suitable body for herself.
Unfortunately, the bodies of ordinary humans are too weak to withstand the powerful power of her soul.
Although Lin Qingyue's appearance surprised her a little, she had to admit that Lin Qingyue's body, which had been cultivated and nourished by her soul, was simply the ideal body.
As long as she has this body, she can break away from the ghost cultivators, stand openly under the sun from now on, and become a god worshipped by the world!
However, when this soul remained in Lin Qingyue's body, it found that it could not enter at all.
When she realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, she heard Lin Qingyue's teasing voice: "You really have been fooled."
The next moment, countless golden lights emanated from Lin Qingyue's body, and the strands of light were entangled into a spiritual net, trapping Zheng Linggui's soul firmly inside.
Zheng Linggui's soul was in the net, rushing around, trying to break out but failed.
And because Zheng Linggui was preoccupied with himself, those puppets lost their ability to attack and stood there like wooden sticks.
"Don't waste your energy, you can't get out. This is a spiritual net condensed from my original power, woven specially for you." Lin Qingyue covered her chest and stood up shakily.
She knew that with Zheng Linggui's greed, he would definitely covet her body.
So Lin Qingyue deliberately exposed her flaws and allowed herself to be injured by the puppet.
Just to make it more realistic, her injuries are real and the blood is real.
In order to capture Zheng Linggui, she even used her original power.
Although she seemed to have the upper hand at this moment, she was already at the end of her strength.
"Yueyue!" Dongfang Qi teleported to Lin Qingyue's side and supported her. "How are you?"
The situation was urgent, and Lin Qingyue had no time to discuss too much with Dongfang Qi. Just by exchanging glances, Dongfang Qi guessed her intentions.
But before he could say anything, Lin Qingyue had already collapsed. Dongfang Qi was worried, but he could only force himself to play along.
At this moment, Lin Qingyue's face was pale, and the blood from the wound had soaked the collar of her shirt.
He hurried forward and sealed several of Lin Qingyue's large acupuncture points to stop the bleeding.
Lin Qingyue said, "Don't worry, it's just a little bleeding, it's nothing."
Zheng Linggui, who was in the spiritual network, laughed at this. "You won't die from shedding some blood, but you've drawn upon your Origin Power! Origin Power is closely tied to your soul. It might not affect your soul for a while, but the more you use, the more it's consumed, and your soul will be damaged."
"In order to capture me, the Demon Lord is actually willing to die with me. Hahahaha... our friendship back then is truly worthwhile."
"What?" Dongfang Qi panicked upon hearing this. "So, you activated your Origin Power just to die with her?"
Lin Qingyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled calmly, "I should have died three thousand years ago. I'm lucky enough to be reborn and to be able to eliminate another disaster. It's not a loss."
Dongfang Qi said, "What do you mean by no loss? Take back your original power, quickly!"
"Dongfang Qi!" Lin Qingyue coughed, and more blood flowed out from the corner of her lips. She became weaker and weaker, and she was almost unable to stand.
Dongfang Qi hugged her tightly and urged her anxiously, "Stop! I beg you to take back your original power! Let's think of other ways. There must be other ways to kill her. You can't risk your life, Yueyue!"
Lin Qingyue: "There's no other way. Dongfang Qi, have I never told you my origins?"
Dongfang Qi shook his head anxiously: "Don't talk, I don't want to know your origins. I just want you to live well. No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you. Live well, don't give up, don't give up your life for such dirty things. Yueyue, I beg you!"
At the end of his words, his voice choked.
Lin Qingyue said, "Actually, I am a demon king from three thousand years ago, reborn as the Lin Qingyue you know today. Therefore, no one knows better than me the harm of blindly worshipping theocracy. No one knows better than me the true strength of Zheng Linggui."
"She is a remnant of the immortal world. After thousands of years of cultivation, she has absorbed a large amount of faith power. Apart from my original power, there is no other way to kill her."
"Dongfangqi, why are you crying? How can a man be so wailing? Let me tell you, I used to be a female emperor who ruled a region. If I were still alive in Qi, I might one day get the urge to don the yellow robe and proclaim myself emperor. Then, you, the crown prince, would have to step aside. So... cough cough cough..."
She coughed up a lot of blood again. Dongfang Qi used his sleeve to wipe the blood stains for her again and again, but he couldn't wipe it clean.
"Stop talking, Yueyue. Just sit down and I'll find a way. I won't let you die!"
He helped Lin Qingyue sit down and picked up the sword again.
"Don't waste your energy. Sit down and talk to me. We are friends after all, so please stay with me for the rest of my life." Lin Qingyue wanted to pull at the hem of his robe, but it slipped from her hand, leaving only a bright red blood stain on her hand.
Lin Qingyue then realized that Dongfang Qi's clothes were also stained with blood. However, he was still wearing red clothes, so it was not obvious.
She couldn't help but miss him wearing white clothes as white as snow, like a banished immortal.
