"They're here."
Ren Xiangxiang looked at the dark mass of dragonfly claws in the distance from the courtyard and her expression turned serious.
Having recovered from his injuries, Shooting Shadow forced himself to walk out, carrying his bow.
"Later you and..."
She Liuying glanced at Mo You, then turned her gaze back to He Wenwen.
He sighed, "You shall all go to the Misty Forest together."
"mother--"
"I refuse!"
The two exchanged disdainful glances, and He Wenwen spoke first, "Even if I'm leaving, I'll go back to the perilous peaks, not the misty forest."
"Uncle-Master, it seems the Yin Palace has fallen as well. We should return to the perilous peaks, after all..."
Kou Huai was eager to return home and didn't want to take any risks; he hoped to escape as far as possible amidst the chaos.
“Mo You and I are going back to Liuwu Forest, but it’s not like we can just leave whenever we want right now!” Ren Xiangxiang said, looking at Mo You.
Inside the house, Xiao Cangdao, whose injuries had just healed, had already packed up. Looking at the overwhelming black dragonflies, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
"It shouldn't be difficult for the two of us to escape in the chaos," Mie Chenhuan said casually.
Laughing Dagger didn't even look at him, and said, "I'm going to find my brother."
Mie Chenhuan was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
Suddenly, the white veil covering everyone's heads shook violently, and the ground trembled instantly.
The overwhelming dragonfly claws suddenly pressed down.
At the entrance, countless demons controlled by dragonfly claws swarmed in, rushing to crash into the white veil.
The cold, evil power began to spread along the white veil. At first, the green spider was able to hold on, but the impact became more and more ferocious, and the dragonfly claws kept attacking one after another.
"I can't take it anymore, I can't hold on much longer!"
With a shriek, a shallow crack suddenly appeared in the large white veil.
Houxia, who was making a hasty retreat behind them, only had time to glance at the scene before shouting, "Everyone, retreat quickly!"
"Feilian! What's Dijin doing?"
Xiao Feilian has been extremely busy these past few days. The initial agreement was to give the training to her and Liu Zhu, but at the crucial moment, only Liu Zhu was left.
Beyond the boundless lush forest, Cun She walked step by step toward the entrance, his body surging with evil energy. Wherever he went, the grass and trees withered instantly, and a dark mass of dragonfly claws covered the sky and the sun.
"My goodness...so much..."
Kou Huai was on the verge of tears, feeling that he was destined to die here today.
The next moment, a loud bang was heard.
Boom!
The white veil shattered instantly, and the enormous impact swept in all directions. Ren Xiangxiang's vision blurred, and she was almost blown away by that force.
At the critical moment, Mo You caught her in time, and as the dragonfly claws pounced on her, he swept his sword across, carving a path out of the way.
"Wait, my mother—"
Before Ren Xiangxiang could finish speaking, several hunting auras exploded not far away, and dragonfly claws fell in a flurry. Then, three fire-chasing stones blasted a group of dragonfly claws to death. He Wenwen threw a multifaceted mirror stone into the hands of the shooting shadow.
"Uncle-Master, the mirror stone is useful."
Sure enough, the mirror stone flashed, and the dragonfly claw immediately made way for an opening.
"Where is Xiangxiang?" She Liuying asked anxiously.
He Wenwen looked in one direction and said calmly, "She's fine. That fox demon took her away."
As they were speaking, a sword light flashed like lightning. Before He Wenwen could react, Kou Huai suddenly pushed him aside from the side and blocked the attack with a backhand slash.
The green-clad youth missed his first strike, and his sword aura suddenly shifted. The Dragonfly Claw, combined with his sword shadow, pounced on the Flowing Shadow.
"Uncle-Master!"
The sword strike had numbed Kou Huai's wrist, leaving him no time to grumble. He didn't dare slow down his movements and slashed at the green-clad youth with his sword.
The boy's gaze swept across the area, and in a flash, his ghostly figure appeared behind Kou Huai.
Almost simultaneously, Kou Huai watched as three fire-chasing stones appeared before him.
Bang bang bang!
Immediately following, a hunting aura swept through the air with unstoppable force, and the green-clad youth, his flesh and blood mangled, rolled out of the thick smoke.
"Cough cough cough..." Kou Huai coughed violently for a while, and was about to curse when the unfortunate dragonfly claw swept over again.
"He Wenwen, are you trying to kill me to silence me?" Kou Huai finally managed to speak, and seeing He Wenwen expertly throwing flints everywhere, his anger began to rise rapidly.
"Anyway, you can't be blown up, just like this annoying black dragonfly," He Wenwen retorted.
"I'm really sorry!" Kou Huai smiled sinisterly, raised his broadsword and swung it towards He Wenwen.
He Wenwen was shocked upon seeing this, exclaiming, "What are you doing? Have you gone mad?!"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.
Kou Huai slashed across He Wenwen's throat with his knife, knocking away Ao Zhi's sudden cold sword with a clang. The bloodied and mangled Ao Zhi quickly returned to his original state, paused for a moment, and then disappeared again.
"Looks like you're more hated than me. That guy's been trying to kill you all along," Kou Huai couldn't resist teasing.
He Wenwen touched her neck, still shaken, but she didn't forget to reply, "Because I'm a greater threat to him than you are. Shouldn't you reflect on your own abilities, Senior Brother Kou Huai, the Demon Tamer?"
"Oh! I almost forgot, you're a novice demon-refining expert—"
"careful!"
He Wenwen threw out his demon claw, which drew a sharp arc and instantly wrapped around Ao Zhi's sword. At the same time, Kou Huai gripped his sword with both hands and slashed down at him.
Buzz!
The dragonfly's claws curled into a ball and it suddenly crashed into the crowd.
Mie Chenhuan directly hung the only multifaceted mirror stone on Xiao Cangdao and cleaved a path to survival with a single strike.
"Go this way."
As he spoke, he pulled up Xiao Cangdao. Xiao Cangdao looked at the densely packed dragonfly claws and, recalling his master, was filled with grief and indignation.
"What kind of time is this? You can only repay a debt if you're dead—"
Before Mie Chenhuan could finish speaking, the meteor hammer suddenly flashed with a cold light and collided with Mie Chenhuan's knife with a bang.
Dragonfly Claws seized every opportunity to surround the two from all sides, and the newcomer said, "You can leave, but she cannot."
As they were speaking, a young man suddenly darted out from the dragonfly's claws and charged straight at Xiao Cangdao.
Xiao Cangdao's eyes sharpened, and his figure swayed. The two blades clashed violently. Xiao Cangdao felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, and his vision blurred. Suddenly, Mie Chenhuan attacked, knocking his opponent back with a single blow.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to tell me whether I stay or leave?"
Before Hua Chixing could recover, Mie Chenhuan struck first. The eyes on the old tree's gnarled roots darted around, and an indescribable chill permeated the air.
The rich spiritual energy contained a terrifying ghostly aura.
"What exactly are you?" Since becoming the puppet of the Zi Gu, Hua Chixing had long lost himself and forgotten fear, but now he miraculously awakened the fear he had only had in his previous life.
"You dare to know who I am?" Mie Chenhuan sneered, ignoring the dragonfly claws coming at him, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
Hua Chixing hurriedly threw out his meteor hammer, but missed. The ghostly aura, mixed with spiritual energy, seemed to sweep in from all directions.
Dragonfly Claw was suddenly startled and darted around wildly. He looked up abruptly and, with one last glance, saw that eye darting around and that gaping maw.
Boom!
The powerful force shattered mountains and split rocks, sending countless dragonfly claws flying. Thick smoke billowed and sand and stones flew everywhere. Xiao Cangdao felt someone grab her hand and pull her out of the chaos.
"Hurry up."
The dragonfly claws, shattered into pieces, kept falling from the sky. The meteor hammer was crushed on a large rock, while he lay in a nearby ruin, unable to feel his limbs, only his eyes still able to see everything around him.
He vaguely recalled the days in Quyou Path. Sister Lei Wan was strict on the surface, but she was the softest-hearted one. He was very afraid of the clan leader Xiu Shen and befriended Ming Lie. In the end, the other party even gave him the qualification to come to Yin Palace.
How could you forget all of that?
When exactly did I forget it?
His vision became increasingly blurry, and he slowly felt sleepy; everything else became less important.
The scattered remnants of dragonfly claws nearly buried him. He closed his eyes wearily, and his body began to wither rapidly, turning into skeletons in the blink of an eye.
A white, thumb-sized worm slowly crawled out from behind his head, but a gust of wind blew it in two.
Cun She, who was not far away, paused, his anger growing stronger.
"He died just like that? What a piece of trash!"
He let out a low shout.
Like a tornado, the dragonfly claws rose several meters high from the ground and pounced on the figure that rushed out of the boundless lush vegetation.
Mo You slashed at the dragonfly claw with his sword, and the surging demonic power quickly disappeared into the dark tornado. The next second, a loud bang was heard.
Mo You, carrying Ren Xiangxiang, used the force of the explosion to rush out of the Dragonfly Claw's territory.
Before they could even catch their breath, another evil force attacked them head-on.
Without a second thought, Mo You pushed Ren Xiangxiang out and met her head with his sword. The two demonic energies collided violently with tremendous force. The Thin Wing Blade narrowly grazed Mo You's neck, while at the same time, Mo You's Ice Nightmare Sword left a mark on Cun She's shoulder.
Dark blood seeped out, but quickly returned to normal. Because of the newly grown head, Cun She's memory would be temporarily confused, but he recognized the mark, which was located on the other person's chest.
Thump, thump.
A chilling atmosphere filled the air. Just as Ren Xiangxiang was about to step forward, she was stopped by the grass doll in the basket on her back.
"Xiangxiang, don't go over there, that person is scary."
"Don't come any closer, Xiangxiang!"
Mo You's figure vanished in an instant, and he immediately used the fourth technique of the Five Ink Techniques, the Loss Technique. In an instant, the demonic aura on Mo You's body became a fluctuating cold wind. Cun She's figure stabilized, and his thin wings stirred up the evil power around him as he slashed down in one direction.
A deafening roar.
He was hit.
A thought flashed through his mind, and suddenly everything went blurry. The overwhelming demonic power was unstoppable, forcing him to retreat repeatedly. The next moment, the Ice Nightmare Sword slashed across his throat.
Blood splattered, the dark blood making his eyes widen in fury. He swept his thin wings across, unleashing a torrent of evil power that slammed heavily into Mo You.
"Moyou——"
Bang bang bang!
Three fire-chasing stones exploded in mid-air.
Thick smoke billowed, obscuring all visibility.
Why is he here?
"Ah Min, I'm sorry... Live well..."
"No, don't close your eyes, no!!!"
In the pouring rain, he lay injured on the roadside, a cold corpse in his arms.
"There's still someone alive here?"
"Do you want revenge? Are you afraid of death?"
Cun She was enraged, his evil aura soaring to the sky. Suddenly, countless black vines sprouted from his body, and with a bang, they transformed into countless dragonfly claws that hovered above him.
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
Surrounded by smoke, Mo You felt as if his internal organs were on fire, especially his heart, which felt as if it were being gripped tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
"I'm fine." Mo You forced a smile and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "You go first, I'll cover you."
“No, he’s too strong. If he’s leaving, we’ll leave together,” Ren Xiangxiang refused.
Mo You's vision went black, and he suddenly coughed up blood.
"Mo You!" Ren Xiangxiang was shocked, but before she could check Mo You's injuries, Mo You suddenly turned serious, shielded her behind him, and swung his sword with all his demonic power.
The surging dragonfly claws parted abruptly, and Cun She wiped the blood from his throat; his scarlet eyes had regained their clarity.
"So you're the fox demon we've been looking for."
