She was unwilling to let her body be turned into a puppet by the great demon!
She disagreed with the idea that she could live her life again and follow the same path as the original owner!
Who can truly explain what is lucky and unlucky?
As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!
"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens; no one can control me!"
"Ah!" Just a second before the Morning Dew Sword was pressed against Jinbao's neck, Zhu Yi let out a long howl, stopping herself from slaughtering Jinbao.
Feeling aggrieved and unwilling to be manipulated by the demon, she unleashed an unprecedented divine power to exorcise evil spirits.
Amidst the golden light, tinged with a peach-blossom pink hue, Zhu Yi stabbed her left palm with the Morning Dew Sword, blood gushing out. Using her own hot blood, she drew a talisman on the blade of the Morning Dew Sword with her right index finger.
Jinbao only knew that it was on the verge of death. It originally thought that Zhu Yi was going to cut off its head with a sword. With its eyes tightly closed, it said to itself, "Master is very powerful. He will definitely be able to summon my soul again! Waaah..."
After a long while, the sharp sword did not fall, and Jinbao smelled the scent of fresh flesh and blood.
"May all evil be swept away, and may humanity enjoy eternal peace! So be it, by the law!"
The howling array fell silent. Where Zhu Yi's sword pointed, the exorcising golden light reappeared. This time, her spiritual power contained a peach wood scent, and the distant fragrance of peach blossoms wafted over. In an instant, the vengeful spirits in the Soul Devouring Array became lively, vying to devour Zhu Yi clean.
In Qing Shang's eyes, Zhu Yi was quite interesting: "You actually managed to break through the restrictions of the Oath Curse. You really keep exceeding my curiosity."
Throughout the cat-and-mouse game, Qing Shang had been using a simple hand seal to fight Zhu Yi. But now, he changed to using both hands to form a larger hand seal, creating a phantom of a blue dragon three to five times larger than Zhu Yi, which entered Zhu Yi's eyes.
This time, Zhu Yi didn't care whether she lived or died.
"By bullying the weak, there's no point in winning." Zhu Yi's clear and bright eyes no longer held even a trace of fear; she was truly fearless now.
"What, even your lantern is broken, do you still think of a way to fight me?" Qing Shang asked sincerely.
"We can't beat them, we simply can't." Zhu Yi shook her head. "So what?"
"The fact that I, a Golden Core cultivator, could injure so many of your vengeful spirits proves that your formation isn't very good either!"
"Who says you have to win against a strong enemy? If I can't win, I can still face death with dignity, which is also a sign of integrity."
Qing Shang looked closely and realized that the girl in front of him showed no fear whatsoever towards him.
Before he could even cast the spell, thunder rumbled in the sky, and suddenly, sunlight shone directly from Black Fiend Mountain, a place where sunlight never reached. It pierced through layers of demonic clouds and miasma, and passed through the barriers of inscription arrays. The bright sunlight slowly and steadily fell on every part of Black Fiend Mountain.
"Aren't you curious?" Zhu Yi gracefully and calmly tidied the bloodstains on her chest. The scattered red spots on her skirt were like plum blossoms in the snow, proud and unafraid of frost and snow.
Zhu Yi stopped talking and walked into the demonic maze. She quickly found Jinbao and hugged him.
"Thunderclouds are rolling in the heavens, clearly not aimed at me. You have created mountains full of vengeful spirits and harmed countless innocent lives. Today, at this moment, you will receive divine punishment!"
That's right, what Zhu Yi just drew with his blood was a lightning-attracting talisman.
She used the Morning Dew Sword as a medium to borrow the power of heavenly thunder from the gods above the nine heavens to punish the demon!
A bluish-purple thundercloud hovered above the Soul-Devouring Array of Black Fiend Mountain, forcing Xue Shan and her group to stop at the foot of the mountain on their airship, no longer daring to fly.
"Senior Brother Shuchen, won't it be too slow for us to hike up the mountain like this?" Xue Shan was anxious. The closer they got to Black Fiend Mountain, the more uneasy she felt about the Divine Bond on her wrist. Her junior sister must have encountered something extremely difficult!
Wei Weiwei stood quietly beside Xue Shan, listening intently. She was quite worried, but she was also reluctant to have much contact with her senior brother Shu Chen.
She always felt that the way Shu Chen looked at her was a little different. She didn't want to think too much about whether there was any deeper meaning behind that joyful gaze, but at the same time, she didn't want to give Shu Chen any vague hope, nor did she want to hurt him.
These past few days, the four of them have been traveling together on the spaceship, and Wei Weiwei has always avoided being alone with Shu Chen.
That day at the sect, Wei Weiwei learned from the little squirrel that Zhu Yi might be in trouble, so she went to Xue Shan to discuss what to do. Lin Hengjin had been following Weiwei and eavesdropping on their conversation. When he learned that something was wrong with Zhu Yi, he volunteered to show up and come along to find Zhu Yi.
As for Shu Chen, Mu Yu was away from the sect during this time, so he took care of many miscellaneous matters on his behalf. Finding Zhu Yi was more important, so after arranging some trivial matters, he volunteered to come along as well.
"It's been two days, I wonder how Junior Sister is doing now." Weiwei's eyes were slightly sad as Shuchen walked over to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister Zhu Yi is currently at the Golden Core stage, so she shouldn't be at a great disadvantage." Shu Chen was a little embarrassed, but mustered up the courage to speak to Weiwei.
"Yes, with so many of us here, we're bound to find her," Weiwei said calmly.
Lin Hengjin put away his flying magic ship, looked up at the sky, his long eyebrows almost knotted together, and worriedly said, "Senior brother, this place is really strange. Can the three of us talisman cultivators and one sword cultivator defeat them?"
“Junior Brother’s concern is that this place is gloomy and eerie, devoid of any vegetation. It must be that some evil cultivator has set up a demonic formation that steals the essence of heaven and earth.” Shu Chen stood not far from Wei Weiwei, occasionally slashing at the surrounding blackened vegetation with his long sword to confirm his idea.
The grass and trees cut down by the swords fell to the ground, turning into a pool of black mist that dissipated into the air. Shu Chen's robes were stained with a little black mist, and were immediately corroded by the demonic energy, leaving a large hole.
The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
If the corrosive power of demonic energy on the vegetation at the edge of Black Fiend Mountain is this great, then the further in you go, the more... I dare not even think about it.
"This will help with the effect!" Xue Shan said solemnly as she took out four pieces of lightning-struck wood from her storage bag and divided them up one by one.
Wei Weiwei watched as the familiar wood was polished into a stick that could be held in one fist, and smiled with delight: "Sister Shanshan actually turned the wood we collected into a weapon, that's amazing!"
Xue Shan smiled faintly: "Didn't I learn it from my junior sister? Lightning-struck wood is incredibly effective at warding off evil spirits. And the wood we collected is heavy with yin energy, which is even more malevolent than evil spirits. When it hits demons and monsters, the effect is doubled!"
Shu Chen suddenly felt that the protective talisman she had just taken out was no longer appealing.
Lin Hengjin didn't react much. Going out would allow him to hone his skills and gain a little darling. He was overjoyed!
"Do you think that the worst that can happen is death?" Qing Shang sneered, his eyes showing a hint of excitement at the moment of the hunt. Zhu Yi could feel his face under the mask twitching slightly.
The thunderclouds above the sky did not deter Qing Shang in the slightest.
