Seeing this, Bai Xiu knew she could no longer hold back. The demonic energy within her body, like boiling water, instantly erupted, transforming into a gigantic white fox. Her once clear eyes now glowed crimson like flames, and her body was shrouded in a radiance like lightning. With a deafening roar, she pounced upon Chu Chu. This was her most powerful and deadly attack, dubbed "Thunder Fox Howling Moon."
Chuchu faced this overwhelming onslaught with no fear. With a cold snort, she not only didn't retreat, but took a step forward. The Qingming Sword in her hand seemed to take on a life of its own under her control. Sword flashes shone like a thread, each strike like a precise arrow, striking the vital points of Baihu's attack. However, Baihu's demonic power was too great, and even these precise sword strikes could hardly damage her body. Chuchu knew that to defeat Bai Xiu, she must find the source of her demonic power—the heart wrapped in layers of demonic energy.
The battle intensified, the two powerful forces colliding and intertwining in the air, as if even space itself was being torn apart. The surrounding landscape had already become a mess, trees were broken in half, and dust was flying, covering the sky and the sun.
After a clever shift in form, Chuchu finally found a glimmer of hope. A flicker of determination flashed in her eyes, and as she seized the opportunity, the spiritual energy within the Qingming Sword rapidly gathered, like rivers gathering into a sea, finally reaching a boiling point. She shouted, "Sword Heart Clear, One Move to Sever Souls!"
The sword flashed like a meteor streaking through the night sky, piercing the white fox's massive body with boundless sharpness and determination, striking its beating heart with unerring precision. That was the source of Bai Xiu's power; if struck, the consequences would be disastrous.
The white fox howled shrilly, a sound like the wailing of hell, chilling to the bone. Her massive body began to shrink rapidly, its light gradually dimming, and finally turning into a streak of white light, dissipating into the air, as if it had never existed.
Chuchu panted, sweat dripping down her cheeks. She put away the Qingming Sword and turned her gaze to Lu Yuanyuan, who was lying on the ground not far away. Her eyes were full of concern and anxiety. She quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and gently shook Lu Yuanyuan's body: "Yuanyuan, wake up, it's okay, everything is over."
However, Lu Yuanyuan did not wake up as she had hoped. Her face was as pale as paper, with blood at the corner of her mouth. She was in great pain and began to spit out blood. Chuchu's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She asked anxiously, "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Lu Yuanyuan forced her eyes open, eyes filled with pain and despair. She spoke with difficulty, "Sister Chuchu, I'm in so much pain, my whole body aches... That white fox has already absorbed my vitality. I'm afraid I won't live long..."
Chu Chu's heart ached upon hearing this. She was unwilling to accept this cruel reality, and even more unwilling to lose Lu Yuanyuan, who was like her own sister. She quickly calmed down and began to cast the spells she had learned, hoping to prolong Lu Yuanyuan's life. "No, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen. I will save you. You are my godmother's only daughter, and I will not let anything happen to you."
Chu Chu sat cross-legged on the ground, mobilizing tens of thousands of years of spiritual power and memory, and tried her best to rescue Lu Yuanyuan.
Chu Chu quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted an ancient mantra: "The Mysterious Sect of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. I have cultivated for countless eons to prove my supernatural powers. Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao reigns supreme. A golden light shone upon my body, illuminating me. Invisible to the eyes, inaudible to the ears. Encompassing heaven and earth, nurturing all living things. Recite this mantra ten thousand times, and my body will be radiant. The six realms will guard me, the six emperors will welcome me. All the gods will pay homage, commanding thunder. Ghosts and demons will be terrified, and spirits will lose their form. Thunderbolts are within me, and the Thunder God is hidden. Wisdom is intertwined, and the five Qi surge. Golden light will quickly appear, protecting the Immortal. Hurry, as the law commands!"
As the spell echoed, golden spiritual light surged around her body, as if it had substance, interweaving into an intricate rune network in the air.
Then, Chuchu waved her hands forward and shouted, "Spirit beast protects my body, and my vitality returns to its source!" A shadow of a spirit beast made of pure spiritual power rushed out of Chuchu's body, hovering above Lu Yuanyuan, making bursts of majestic cries, and then turned into a warm torrent of spiritual power, slowly injected into Lu Yuanyuan's body, trying to repair her broken meridians and restore her lost vitality.
The torrent of spiritual power from the spirit beast, like a trickle returning to the sea, gently yet firmly seeped into every cell of Lu Yuanyuan's body, flowing slowly along her broken meridians, attempting to straighten out the misplaced spiritual energy and reweave the web of life. Beads of sweat formed on Chuchu's forehead. Her spiritual power and willpower were at their limit at this moment, but her gaze remained firm, unwavering.
As time passed, a tense and solemn atmosphere filled the air.
Lu Yuanyuan's face gradually turned from pale to a faint red, as if a trace of life was quietly reawakening within her. However, at this critical moment, Chuchu discovered that the damage to Lu Yuanyuan's body was more severe than she had imagined. Even the spiritual power she had cultivated over tens of thousands of years could hardly make up for the huge loss.
Chuchu's heart sank. Reluctantly, she increased her spiritual energy output, hoping for a miracle. The spirit beast's phantom seemed to sense its master's determination and unleashed its power even more vigorously, its light growing ever brighter, nearly illuminating the entire space. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, Lu Yuanyuan's vitality had yet to fully recover, barely maintaining a relatively stable state. A true recovery was still a long way off.
Chu Chu slowly retracted her gesture, the golden spiritual light gradually dissipated, and a trace of fatigue and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Chuchu withdrew from her sea of consciousness and opened her eyes to see Lu Yuanyuan slumped on the sofa, her breath weak, as if she would disappear at any moment. At this moment, Chuchu was still worried about how to explain the situation to Lu Xiao.
After much deliberation, the safest course of action was to first send Lu Yuanyuan to the hospital and then find an appropriate time to treat her. He wanted to casually say that Lu Yuanyuan was just asleep, but the lifeless appearance of Lu Yuanyuan before him was clearly very different from a deep sleep.
Chu Chu quickly pulled out her cell phone and dialed 120. Then, she hurried downstairs, putting on a panicked look, and yelled to Lu Xiao who was walking towards her, "Oh no! Yuanyuan has fainted! I've called an ambulance. It looks like she has low blood sugar..."
When Lu Xiao heard this, he stood up suddenly and asked anxiously, "Hypoglycemia? How could this happen?"
Chuchu hurriedly explained: "We were just chatting together, discussing where to go for the long vacation, but she suddenly..." Before she finished speaking, Lu Xiao turned around in a hurry and rushed to the third floor in two steps.
At the same time, Gu Yechen also stood up from his seat and looked at Chuchu with a serious expression: "Chuchu, what is going on?"
