The Holy Butterfly mark on Lin Jinghan's forehead was already faintly visible, indicating that the Great Witch's seal on the Holy Butterfly was getting weaker and weaker.
She could already feel that her soul was about to be torn away from her body. The pain was heart-wrenching!
Suddenly, the Holy Butterfly Mark fully appeared, and a warm current in her chest helped to bring her soul back a little.
However, this improvement was only temporary. The golden light in the cage became brighter and brighter, and her soul, which had just returned a little bit, was stripped away again.
Then, the blood jade pendant and the golden butterfly worked together to pull her soul back a little bit.
Then, the golden light stripped her soul away again...
Every pull of the soul sent immense pain through her body and soul.
During this crazy tug of war, Lin Jinghan was in excruciating pain.
"Whether you want to save her or not is up to you." The emperor bewitched.
"This is the Soul-Separation Formation! Such an evil formation, Ouyang Qi, you really do everything you can to deal with me!" Sikong Zhan had already recognized this formation and shouted angrily.
He also felt an external force pulling at his soul, but it was not enough to pose a threat to him.
But Lin Jinghan was different. Lin Jinghan's soul was an alien to this body. If the Soul Separation Formation had twice the power on an ordinary person, it would have a hundred times the power on her!
Sikong Zhan knew the power of this formation. With Lin Jinghan's current ability, she shouldn't be in so much pain. This was very abnormal, but he didn't have time to think about the reason. He forcibly used his soul power and tried to help Lin Jinghan stabilize her soul.
At the same time, the dagger in his hand never stopped, slashing at the cage again and again. This time, he didn't use his internal energy, as he didn't have any to spare. Therefore, the cage didn't rebound as violently as before. Each stroke of the Adamantine dagger left a shallow scratch on the cage, but the price was that Sikong Zhan's internal injuries became increasingly serious.
"What, Soul Separation Formation?"
When they heard the words "Soul-Separation Formation", the faces of those who knew about it changed drastically. They took several steps back until they reached the wall and had nowhere to retreat, and finally stopped.
"Your Majesty! This Soul-Separation Formation is an evil formation and a taboo. You shouldn't activate it! It's not too late to stop before you make a big mistake!" Yan Deyu knelt heavily on the ground and tried his best to dissuade him.
Not only did he kneel down, but all the others who knew about it also knelt down.
"Your Majesty, activating the evil formation will bring divine punishment! Stop it now!"
The emperor was determined to kill Prince Jingnan today. He completely ignored the objections of his ministers and asked:
"To deal with evil spirits, we have to take extreme measures. Do you have a better way?"
"This..." The ministers were speechless.
"It's still unknown whether Princess Jingnan is a demon or not. It's better to let her take this pill first and then make a decision!" Qi Guang suggested.
"Then it depends on whether our Prince Jingnan is willing to cooperate." The emperor signaled the eunuch chief to take the demon-repelling pill and walk towards the cage.
"How about exchanging it for the antidote to save your princess from such pain?"
"Prince Jingnan, this is a demon-repelling pill. As long as your princess is not a demon, you will be fine after taking this pill." Yan Deyu explained hurriedly.
"A Zhan, I'm not a demon..." Lin Jinghan was already numb from the pain, her voice was weak and her expression was very distracted, as if she would disappear from this world in the next moment.
Even though Sikong Zhan was willing to sacrifice himself to help her stabilize her soul, it only intensified the pull on her soul. There were moments when the pain was extreme, she would even rather he give up.
However, she knew that he would never give up, so no matter how painful it was, she would never give up hope. Even if she had to endure pain a hundred times or a thousand times more, she did not want to become a lonely soul and never be able to accompany him again.
Before the endless darkness overwhelmed her, she used her soul to speak out from the bottom of her heart, "A Zhan, I love you..."
"No! Jinghan, hold on!" Sikong Zhan didn't hesitate any longer and took out the antidote. "Give me the medicine, and you remove the formation!"
Seeing Sikong Zhan finally lower his head, the emperor was very proud and glanced at Qu Fengmao.
Qu Fengmao understood and made a hand seal, opening a small hole in the formation, sending the demon-repelling pill into it, then condensed a golden virtual hand seal to take the antidote from Sikong Zhan's hand.
At this moment, Sikong Zhan used all his internal strength and stabbed the small hole with the dagger!
The golden virtual handprint disappeared in an instant, Qu Fengmao vomited blood, and could no longer suppress the eye of the formation. The formation shook, and the dagger in Sikong Zhan's hand pierced the small hole.
"Ah!" Sikong Zhan's eyes turned blood red in an instant. Holding a dagger in his hand, he slashed the cage with force. The dazzling golden light accompanied by sparks almost blinded the eyes of everyone present!
Bang!
The formation was broken, and all the people from the Imperial Observatory who had formed the formation were attacked by the formation. They flew out in an instant and hit the wall of the Golden Throne Hall. They were bounced back by the protective formation of the Golden Throne Hall. They finally fell to the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and were no longer moving. It was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Sikong Zhan held Lin Jinghan in one hand and held the Adamant dagger in the other. His eyes were red, like a Shura from hell.
His internal energy was depleted, and the backlash from the Azure Lotus Manual surged violently. However, he didn't care at all. He gently held her in his arms and kissed her lips, using his remaining spiritual power to try to repair her already shattered soul.
A golden butterfly flew out from her chest. The holy butterfly had just consumed a lot of power and was now very dim. It flapped its wings slowly and flew to the holy butterfly mark on Lin Jinghan's forehead.
"Her soul turned into a butterfly! She is a demon! Kill them!" The emperor finally came to his senses from the incident and immediately gave the order.
The guards and royal secret guards who were lying in ambush in the Golden Palace all rushed out and launched a crazy attack on Sikong Zhan, vowing to wash away the shame of a few days ago with blood.
Sikong Zhan was now at the end of his strength. He had used all his remaining energy to save Lin Jinghan. He could no longer resist the attacks of these people and could only subconsciously use his body to firmly protect the person in his arms...
Chi chi chi!
The sound of spears piercing flesh was heard, and Sikong Zhan's back was full of spears, densely packed!
Puff puff puff!
They pulled out their spears, and countless bloody holes instantly appeared on Sikong Zhan's back, but he didn't even make a sound.
Fatal external and internal injuries, along with the backlash from the Azure Lotus Manual, completely crushed him. Before the boundless darkness descended, he passed on the last shred of his soul power to Lin Jinghan...
"Jinghan, I love you too." His soul said to her soul.
Where is this?
There was endless darkness all around.
Is this what hell looks like? Sikong Zhan was unwilling to accept this. His Jinghan was still in danger, so he couldn't die yet!
A little red light spread out from his eyes, dyeing the darkness red, from one point to an area, and finally, all the darkness turned red!
