“Kill Shi Yuan.”
The shouts grew louder and louder.
Nan Zhi withdrew her gaze from the disciples who hoped she would kill Shi Yuan, and looked at Yin Yao's face, whose expression was even more pleased as she held the lives of all of them in her hands.
She could have killed Shi Yuan directly, so why did she have to do this?
She seemed to have a vague idea.
Nan Zhi moved her hand, and her natal magic sword Xue Ning appeared in her hand. "She is not the head of Tianxiang Sect. She is a demon. If Shi Yuan is dead, how could she still keep Wuji Sect?"
Yin Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, and then heard Nan Zhi guess her thoughts.
"It seems she can't kill Shi Yuan right now, so she wants me to take action. Don't believe her."
Yes, Yin Yao looked definitely off.
If Shi Yuan is truly the reincarnation of a demon god, with such formidable power, then killing her would suffice.
But why hasn't she taken any action yet?
Presumably, they can't kill Shi Yuan in a short time, so they have to rely on them to do it themselves.
If Shi Yuan dies, how could the entire Wuji Sect possibly escape the clutches of evil?
Therefore, they cannot deal with Shi Yuan now, but must unite against external forces.
"Disciples of the Wuji Sect, heed my command!"
Nan Zhi's clear voice echoed in every corner.
All the disciples were on high alert.
A layer of blue light emanated from the snow crystals in her hand. "Come with me and drive away these filthy demons."
Looking at Nan Zhi's cold profile, and the expression of unity she showed with all the Wuji Sect disciples for his sake, Shi Yuan felt a complex mix of emotions.
Why is she still protecting him even now?
Doesn't she hate him at all?
Or perhaps she simply wanted to protect the disciples of the Wuji Sect?
"kill!"
As soon as Nan Zhi uttered that cold, stern word, all the disciples of the Wuji Sect summoned their natal magical artifacts and surged towards the demons.
That's really overestimating themselves.
Yin Yao's eyes turned cold, and black energy surged from his hand, carrying a powerful force as he rushed towards these troublesome cultivators.
The black energy was dissolved by a powerful sword aura the instant it killed the cultivator.
Yin Yao narrowed her eyes and watched as Nan Zhi, dressed in a wedding gown, teleported in front of her.
Caught off guard, Yin Yao was struck by her sword.
The sword energy slashed her face, enraging her. Demonic energy surged from her body, overwhelming Nanzhi.
Nan Zhi's eyes were sharp. Just as Xue Ning gathered sword energy in her hand, a red figure rushed over from the side and blocked the black energy that would have harmed her.
Shi Yuan immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt down. Nan Zhi quickly helped him up.
Nanzhi yelled at him, "What are you doing rushing up here?"
"I'm sorry, Master..." Shi Yuan's eyes were full of guilt as he reached out to touch her.
He wanted to say so many things to her.
He wanted to beg her not to hate him.
Before she could even touch him, Nanzhi used her spiritual power to throw him onto an empty space nearby.
He wanted to rush over to help her, but she blocked him by setting up a barrier.
In the past, he might have broken through the barrier.
But at this moment, he was injured. The wound on his arm was now throbbing in his heart, causing him to sweat profusely and feel weak all over, making it impossible for him to break through the barrier.
So they could only watch helplessly as Nan Zhi was no match for Yin Yao and was sent flying far away.
If Qian Che hadn't caught Nan Zhi in mid-air, Nan Zhi would have fallen hard to the ground.
Even so, she still coughed up blood.
Shi Yuan saw her clutching her stomach, and his face turned pale in an instant.
She must be in a lot of pain.
"Master, please let me out!"
He frantically pounded on the barrier, his expression one of utter panic.
Qian Che looked at Nan Zhi with concern. He wanted to heal Nan Zhi's injuries, but she stopped him by raising her hand.
"Senior sister..."
"Qian Che, don't waste your spiritual energy. We can't beat Yin Yao. You take the disciples and leave first. Leave as many as you can. Oh, and remember to bring Shi Yuan with you."
She looked at Shi Yuan inside the barrier, and there was clearly no hatred in her eyes.
Hearing what she said, Shi Yuan felt that he truly deserved to die.
"And what about you, senior sister?"
Nanzhi's eyes were firm. "I will escort you away."
After saying that, she raised her hand, took out a jade bottle, and poured all the pills inside into her palm.
"Senior sister, is this a Spirit Essence Pill?"
Spirit Essence Pill?
It is said that the Spirit Essence Pill can rapidly increase a cultivator's cultivation level in a short period of time.
However, it also has drawbacks, namely, extremely severe side effects. At best, it can cause a cultivator's power to decline, and at worst, it can lead to their death.
Shi Yuan looked extremely anxious when he saw her take out the Spirit Essence Pill.
"Master, no! If they want to kill me, let them kill me! Don't eat!"
Nan Zhi gave him a deep look, but still swallowed all the pills without hesitation.
With so many Spirit Essence Pills, the side effects must be incredibly severe!
Qian Che panicked: "Senior Sister, you mustn't!"
He reached out to stop him, but it was too late.
Nanzhi stood up from his arms, her spiritual power surging.
She looked at him: "Qian Che, take them and leave!"
Qian Che's eyes reddened: "Senior sister, no, I won't leave."
"You're only holding me back here."
Seeing her so resolute, Qian Che knew he couldn't stop her.
He suppressed his heartache and worry and urged the Wuji Sect disciples to run away quickly.
He, however, stayed by her side.
His eyes were resolute. "Senior sister, let me stand with you through thick and thin."
Shi Yao's apprentices also refused to leave.
"Master, we want to fight against the demons alongside you."
Seeing their loyalty, Nanzhi felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She glanced at Shi Yuan, who was still patting the barrier.
This catastrophe seems unavoidable.
She touched her belly. Although she had already exchanged the pregnancy-preserving medicine with 003, she could still feel the baby's movements.
He must have been scared too.
I just don't know if we can win today's battle.
"My child, be good, your mother will protect your father."
As soon as he said that, the baby in his belly seemed to understand and obediently stopped moving.
Many disciples of the Wuji Sect who were afraid of death fled.
With fewer people around, Yin Yao was able to conquer Wuji Sect even faster, so there was no obstruction.
Only about a hundred people remained.
In order to kill Shi Yuan as quickly as possible, she directly ordered the demons to clear a passage.
"My only target is Shi Yuan. Those of you who want to leave should leave now."
But even after he said that, no one left.
Yin Yao scorned the ridiculous loyalty of these humans. She raised her hand, and the demons behind her excitedly pounced on the cultivators.
The surrounding area was filled with the sounds of blood and screams.
Nan Zhi reinforced the barrier for Shi Yuan before looking at Yin Yao who was walking towards her.
Yin Yao knew that although Shi Yuan was difficult to kill, she had to get rid of Nan Zhi first before she could kill him.
But Nan Zhi, who was just a little weaker than the other, now has a surge of spiritual power, and his sword energy is surging, with countless swords flying from all directions.
The energy swirled around the southern branch, then surged towards the Snow Condensation Sword, merging with it.
The Snow Condensation Sword instantly became enormous.
It was aimed directly at Yin Yao.
Nan Zhi bit her finger and drew a talisman in the air: "I will sacrifice my primordial spirit to slay the demons, even at the cost of ten thousand lives."
