Chai Peng was knocked back by the combined attack of the three. His gaunt face was first filled with shock and anger, and then a cunning and even more intense resentment flashed in his scarlet eyes.
The black aura swirling around him subsided slightly, but his cold and evil presence became even more concentrated.
"Very well! No wonder you were able to kill my disciple! You do have some skill!"
Cai Peng's voice was like the wailing of an owl, shrill and unpleasant, "But with such meager skills, you think you can stop me?"
He suddenly formed a strange hand seal with both hands, chanting incantations. Ancient and obscure spells rang out, and the darkness behind him seemed to come alive. More vengeful spirits surged out from it and merged into the black aura around him. The black aura quickly condensed and actually formed a blurry, constantly twisting, black pill phantom above his head, exuding a nauseating and evil aura!
The moment that black pill appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, a cold wind howled, the temperature plummeted, and even the light of the array in the courtyard dimmed a bit!
An overwhelming pressure, far exceeding anything seen before, crashed down upon the three of them like a mountain!
"Um?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Qingxue's cold eyes, which then turned into understanding and a trace of...disdain?
Ye Meier scoffed, arms crossed, scanning the black pill up and down with the look of someone scrutinizing a counterfeit. Her tone was full of mockery: "Oh? I thought it was something special? Turns out, it's just a 'fake golden pill'? No, it's not even a fake, it's more like a 'pseudo pill'! You dare to show off something forcibly mixed with filthy souls and yin energy? That's hilarious!"
Zhang Shaozhong was struggling to breathe under the oppressive aura of the pseudo-elixir. Hearing Ye Meier's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Pseudo-elixir? What does that mean?"
Ling Qingxue explained calmly, "The Golden Core Path is about condensing one's own essence, energy, and spirit, comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, and forming a flawless golden core in the dantian. This is the proper path of cultivation. However, this person used evil methods to plunder the souls and vital energy of others, mixed them with Yin energy, and forcibly condensed a 'pseudo-core' that resembled a golden core. It may seem to possess some of the power of a golden core, but in reality, its foundation is weak, it has great hidden dangers, and it will never have any hope of truly achieving the Great Dao in its lifetime."
She paused, her tone carrying a hint of the inherent aloofness of immortals: "In short, it's unorthodox and disreputable."
Cai Peng was so angry at the two men calling him a "fake product," a "fake pill," and "second-rate" that he trembled all over, and even the fake pill shook!
His trump card, which enabled him to rise to fame and dominate Southeast Asia, was surprisingly worthless in the eyes of these two women!
"Shut up! What do you know!"
Cai Peng shrieked, "Power is power! As long as it can kill, it's good power! Today, I'll let you taste the power of my 'third-rate' strength!"
He suddenly activated the pseudo-core on his head, and the black pill began to spin rapidly, emitting an even more intense evil black light!
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour Souls!"
With a sharp shout, countless solidified black ghost shadows surged out from the pseudo-core. These ghost shadows were more ferocious than the previous ones, and their aura was even more terrifying. They emitted deafening shrieks and, like a black tide, rushed towards the array barrier of the courtyard from all directions!
This time, the attack was no longer focused on a single point, but rather covered the entire area!
The light of the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array flickered violently, emitting a hum that seemed unable to bear the strain. The runes flickered on and off, as if they were about to collapse at any moment!
The Seven Emotions Bewitching Nails set up by Ye Meier were also triggered, and strands of distorted demonic power interfered with the ghostly figure, but the effect was greatly reduced in the face of the full-force attack enhanced by the pseudo-elixir!
"The formation won't last long!"
Ling Qingxue's expression changed slightly; she could feel the array's energy being rapidly depleted.
"Then let's go out and fuck them!"
Night Enchantress's eyes blazed with demonic light, and her aura began to rise steadily. Although she was far from recovering to the Heavenly Demon King realm, the murderous aura of a demonic giant was already emanating from her body!
At this critical moment—
"Woo-wah—woo-wah—"
The piercing sound of sirens grew louder as they approached!
Several black SUVs, like wild horses, broke through the night and came to an abrupt stop on the roadside outside the courtyard!
The car door opened, and seven or eight special agents, dressed in black combat uniforms, moved nimbly and exuded a sharp aura, jumped out! They were not carrying ordinary firearms, but specially made weapons that glowed with runes!
The leader was none other than Mr. Zhou, who had previously been in contact with Zhang Shaozhong and his group!
He was also dressed in combat gear, holding a uniquely shaped bronze short sword in his hand, with runes flowing across its blade, exuding a righteous aura.
"Chai Peng! This is Chinese territory, and you cannot be allowed to act so recklessly! Surrender immediately!"
Mr. Zhou's voice was booming, and he tried to intimidate people with his imposing manner.
Chai Peng's scarlet eyes swept over the group of uninvited guests, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips: "You ants dare to stop me? Perfect, I'll use your blood and souls to nourish my treasure!"
He didn't give the other party any time to react. With a thought, a large portion of the overwhelming ghostly figures split off, like a swarm of black locusts, and rushed towards Mr. Zhou and the special agents he brought!
"Fire!"
Mr. Zhou's expression changed, and he gave a stern order!
The runic weapons in the hands of the special operations team members spewed out scorching tongues of fire, and the bullets were coated with exorcising runes. When they hit the ghost shadows, they made "poof" sounds and were indeed able to eliminate some of the weaker ghost shadows.
Mr. Zhou brandished his bronze short sword, and wherever the sword flashed, the ghostly figures scattered.
However, their attack was simply a drop in the ocean compared to the massive tide of ghostly figures generated by the pseudo-elixir!
Moreover, those ghostly figures were fearless and charged forward one after another, quickly breaking through the firepower network!
"Ah—!" A special operations team member was pounced on by several ghostly figures and instantly let out a shrill scream. His whole body withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his essence and soul were completely plundered!
