Gu body
"This thing seems to be more troublesome than I imagined." Lan Fengguang swallowed the blood that rose to his throat. He had taken the Fusion Speed Pill that Xu Jinnian had given him before he came, which could improve his physique in a short time to make it easier to fight against demons. However, the side effects were also quite severe. At this moment, he was not worried about the side effects, but whether he could return alive this time.
She Liuying gripped the Demon-Slaying Bow, his mind focused and on guard. The white dandelions scattered by the Gu woman before him vanished without a trace. In that instant, the colorful white hairs transformed into countless sharp blades, freezing everything in their path into ice flowers. The ice flowers spread towards She Liuying like lightning, causing his pupils to shrink abruptly. He immediately separated from Lan Fengguang.
Sensing the murderous intent emanating from the Gu women from all directions, Shooting Wind Shadow experienced the fear of death for the first time.
"Senior Sister, behind you!" Lan Fengguang roared, and She Liuying drew her bow and fired an arrow without thinking. The Demon-Slaying Arrow was specifically designed to kill demons, and any demon hit by it would never survive. However, it had little effect on the Gu Girl.
With a swift movement, Gu Nu felt a gust of wind past her ear. Lan Fengguang's sword swept across, slamming into her dandelion with a bang. The flying fluff confused their vision. She Liuying felt her right hand go numb, while Lan Fengguang was unable to move her lower body.
"Die, all of you!!"
The enraged Gu woman raised a dandelion, her fierce demonic power pressing down like Mount Tai.
Almost simultaneously, a magnificent array unfolded beneath the three of them. Gu Nu watched helplessly as Dandelion froze for a moment, and only for a moment, before countless feathers enveloped Lan Fengguang and She Liuying as they swiftly retreated.
Boom!
The terrifying, world-destroying power nearly leveled the barren hillside, and the entire Yang Palace trembled as smoke rose and enveloped the sky.
Kou Xiaobai's face was as pale as paper, and his body was covered in wounds, but he was still struggling to maintain the formation. Xi Chi had lost an arm and was desperately blocking Xiu Shen's attack. Lan Qizheng's legs had been cut off and he had fallen into a coma. Lan Xun and Lan Fusong were still trying their best to slow down Xiu Shen, while the one who was mainly dealing with the opponent was their senior brother Kou Huai.
Because of the special nature of the insect, Kou Huai, being human, possessed exceptionally strong vitality, which gradually made Xiu Shen more and more agitated, but he could not kill him with a single blow.
Am I really going to die here? Kou Xiaobai looked at the dust rising in the distance and gradually despaired.
Meanwhile, outside the Half-Mountain Residence, Xu Caiyou, her face covered in blood, was wailing, "Master, waaaaah... Senior Brother, waaaaah... I'm so scared, waaaaah..."
While crying, he dodged a monster that rushed towards him, and with a swift stroke, he removed the Gu worm from the monster's spine, landing it with perfect precision in a small bamboo basket to his left.
The monsters beneath him were piled up like a mountain, and the small basket contained half of the Gu worms. Thick smoke filled the air, and a large patch of charred rat-head flowers covered the entrance.
He stood guard alone, crying as he fought off the monsters that had come to this place. The monsters rushed towards Xu Caiyou like madmen, and Xu Caiyou was terrified and cried even louder.
"Master! Aaaaaah... Help me!!!"
Xu Jinnian, who was inside the room, slowly got up with the help of the bed and forced his weak body to go to the demon refining room next door.
The demon-refining furnace, which had been dormant for many years, was covered in dust. As he slowly cleaned it, he recalled the past recorded in the book.
...The Demon Refining Elder Liao Wanchuan is inherently cruel and brutal, slaughtering his own kind and committing such heinous acts that he deserves to die. All members of the Liao family related to him are expelled from Qiling Mountain and will never be allowed to enter again. As for the others, they are all implicated by him and will not be pursued further. As for the children he persecuted...
The record becomes unclear here, only stating that it must be burned, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
A ball of flame rose from the Demon Refining Furnace, making his face appear even paler. The fire snake turned from red to blue. Xu Jinnian sat upright in front of the furnace, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
“Disciple…”
His voice was weak and low, but as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Caiyou rushed in from outside, her face still wet with tears, and sobbed as she replied, "Master, as you instructed, I... I collected this much, is it... enough?"
"Anything else?" Xu Jinnian asked without even looking at the table.
Xu Caiyou nodded hurriedly, "Yes, they're everywhere outside! I'll keep collecting them! Master, wait for me!"
After saying that, he picked up his little machete and ran away with tears streaming down his face.
If Ren Xiangxiang can create an antidote, then she can also create a poison targeting the Gu worms. Now is the best opportunity.
Back then, because of Liao Wanchuan alone, the old lineage of demon refining was almost wiped out, and what remained was also cut down and scattered, leading to a period of decline. The surviving members of the Liao family changed their surname, and Xujia Town was the place where the remaining Liao family once lived.
"Awoooooo... Senior Brother!"
Xu Caiyou slayed the demons while howling in agony to the sky.
Inside the ruins, He Wenwen, who was about to lose consciousness, suddenly woke up. In her crimson vision, Ren Xiangxiang was still entangled with the worm. Her reckless and crazy fighting style made even the worm wary.
He Wenwen felt as if she was about to lose control of her body, her consciousness wavering between clarity and confusion.
The weapon that the worm was wielding seemed to have a mind of its own. Ren Xiangxiang dared not fight it head-on, so she dodged the attack and struck at the worm's left side with a claw, but she missed.
"Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, He Wenwen's voice came from behind. Ren Xiangxiang's vision blurred, and she was suddenly pulled back by a force. The face of the demon gradually enlarged in her pupils, and finally a cold light exploded between the two of them. The demon claw grabbed the fire-chasing stone and smashed it directly at the face of the demon.
Boom!
Ren Xiangxiang's head buzzed from the shock. When she opened her eyes again, her face covered in blood, she rushed toward the swaying He Wenwen.
"Brother Wen!"
With a burst of strength from who knows where, Ren Xiangxiang kicked a monster away, trying to stop Quesang. Just as Quesang was about to grab He Wenwen, there were several more explosions.
Ren Xiangxiang immediately slid out of the impact range, flipped over and jumped to a high place, grabbed the seriously injured He Wenwen, and took him away.
"You've really gone too far!"
A blood-covered man named Husang appeared at the foot of the collapsed wall. He looked at Ren Xiangxiang, who was standing on the eaves, covered in wounds. Her face, which had been blown to pieces, was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the newly grown skin was almost transparent and bright white, which made people shudder.
At this time, as dusk fell, several small mountains of monsters had been piled up outside the Half-Mountain Residence. Xu Caiyou was exhausted from crying, and the expressionless harvester was a monster who came to deliver vegetables.
Inside the demon-refining chamber, Xu Jinnian ground his inkstone for a while, then paused to rest. His sleeves were already stained with blood. He looked at the sachet he had tied in his hand, then hung it on a mosquito-like creature the size of a palm, and instructed, "Go find She Liuying and the others! Hopefully, you'll make it in time..."
...
Beneath the barren slope lay a scene of devastation, the billowing dust still thick with dew. The Gu woman had already launched her attack, her enormous dandelion sweeping across the sky, almost freezing the air itself. The Gu woman grew increasingly frenzied in her killing spree, forcing the three to retreat repeatedly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
This feels so good! I haven't felt this good in a long time!
Dim lighting, cacophony of cries, rotting flesh—it was as if she had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant. This was the first world she saw after losing all her loved ones. What she thought was rescue was just a series of nightmares.
"I don't want to eat...I don't want to eat...Waaaaah..."
A demon's corpse lay before them, rotting and infested with maggots, while she and a dozen other children huddled in a corner, their faces pale and emaciated.
"A bunch of useless brats, if you don't eat, you'll starve to death! Nobody will give you any other food!"
After saying that, the door slammed shut, leaving only a narrow vent high up where the only light was.
I'm so hungry, what should I do? I'm really hungry.
Pain and despair rushed into the Gu woman's brain at an inopportune moment, and her last memory was of tearing apart the monster on the ground like a wild beast.
"It hurts so much..."
The Gu woman suddenly clutched her heart, feeling helpless and suffocated as if someone were holding her in their hand. The pain made her vision go black and she broke out in a cold sweat.
She didn't want to die!
The dandelion burst open, transforming into countless flying fluff. The Gu woman's hair turned completely white, her face contorted in a ferocious expression. Her movements were as swift as lightning, and she struck Lan Fengguang with a heavy blow. Fortunately, Kou Qiyu intervened in time, his shadow instantly transforming into a feather that enveloped Lan Fengguang, absorbing most of the damage for him and barely managing to save his life.
But the Gu woman's attack was already upon them. She Liuying's right hand was injured, and the Divine Annihilation Bow could not replace all her power. The dandelion fell fiercely, and the surging demonic wind forced her to almost forget to breathe. She Liuying's vision went black as the Gu woman's claw pierced through her body. Almost simultaneously, a mosquito-like creature the size of a palm appeared above the two of them, carrying a sachet. She Liuying desperately raised the Demon-Slaying Arrow and forcefully stabbed it into the Gu woman's injured shoulder. The mosquito-like creature split in two, and the dark red powder in the sachet fell onto the Demon-Slaying Arrow.
The Demon-Slaying Arrow, which was normally difficult to injure the Gu Woman, pierced through the wound Lan Fengguang had previously made after being coated with medicinal powder.
In an instant, the Gu woman's expression changed drastically, and flames quickly shot out from her shoulder, as if something had taken root and began to rapidly destroy her body.
With a scream, the Gu woman unleashed her evil power to repel the Flowing Shadow. The enormous dandelion began to turn black and wither. Without hesitation, the Gu woman used her hand as a knife to swiftly sever the shoulder and entire arm that were covered in poison powder.
Blood splattered immediately, and she staggered two steps.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!" The Gu woman was furious. Her wounds healed rapidly, and new flesh and blood grew back. However, the newly grown flesh and blood was pale and weak, as if it was temporarily out of control.
Just then, the Gu woman, who had been driven mad with rage, suddenly calmed down and looked in one direction with a drastic change in expression.
The direction she was looking in was the underground cavern of the Corpse Forest that Mo You had accidentally stumbled into earlier.
The dark cave connects to a hot spring on a damp, steep cliff, so the cave is filled with steam. The collapsed parts have been repaired. On the huge cave ceiling, countless golden garments hang upside down, and the heart in the middle of the golden garment beats weakly.
At this moment, after avoiding all the strange monsters, someone quietly sneaked into this place.
The newcomer was dressed in a blue-green outfit, with her long hair casually tied behind her head. She was not tall, but had a light and graceful figure. With willow-leaf eyebrows and bright eyes, she had a touch of heroic spirit. She was none other than Yue Shan Fuyi, whom the Gu Nu and the others had been searching for.
She was in seclusion when she received a message from the dying insect, which allowed her to lead some of her people to escape from the damp cliffs and hide away.
She has always been vigilant and is very familiar with the damp and steep terrain, which is why she has been able to hide until recently when she discovered this place, which is filled with evil energy and exudes a repulsive aura.
Fu Yi was cautious and light-footed. She used a protruding rock to land on a high place and thrust her sword forward.
Her weak heart suddenly began to beat violently, and the ripples of the sword suddenly went out of control, grazing her heart. She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and through her heart, she seemed to see another face. But before she could be surprised, a golden-clad figure behind her pierced her body with a claw.
"Sigh... I'm already so old... Why can't I even have a moment of peace..."
As she spoke, the cave trembled slightly, and countless golden robes fell to the ground. Fuyi clutched her bleeding chest, her breath unsteady as she looked up at the beating heart above her head.
Who exactly are you?
