Chapter 109 Father, look! Daughter uses golden light to defeat the bad guys.
Princess Anguo's Mansion, beside the lotus pond.
The night was as dark as ink, and even the starlight was swallowed by the dark clouds.
Linglan emerged from the deepest shadows, like a wisp of rotting marsh gas.
He was no longer the ethereal and otherworldly imperial advisor; his entire being exuded an air of decay and decay.
His skin was withered and shriveled, clinging to his bones, yet his eyes burned with a venomous, ghostly fire.
"Little koi fish..."
His voice was like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together, harsh and unpleasant to hear.
"We've met again."
Mu Yu was squatting by the pond, her little bottom facing him, intently having a "secret meeting" with the fish in the water.
Hearing the sound, she turned her chubby little face and blinked her big eyes.
Who are you?
"How come I don't recognize you, you ugly monster?"
Her words were like the sharpest knife, precisely piercing Linglan's already riddled heart.
Ugly... monster?
He Linglan was once the most handsome member of the Koi Clan!
"You destroyed my ghost army, you destroyed my Xuan Yin Corpse Refining technique, you destroyed all my hard work..."
Ling Lan's voice suddenly rose, filled with resentment and madness.
"Today, I will tear out your tendons, peel off your skin, and turn you into my puppet!"
"I will make you my slave for all eternity!"
He suddenly raised his hand, and a thick, impenetrable black mist gushed from his palm, transforming into a ferocious ghost claw that lunged straight at Mu Yu.
"Little Yu'er, watch out!"
With a loud shout, Mu Fang's figure stood like a mountain in front of his daughter.
The Overlord Spear, which had been in his hand without his noticing, flashed with a cold light at its tip and, with immense force, smashed down on the ghostly claw.
"boom!"
The spear tip collided with the ghostly claw, scattering the black mist in all directions, only to re-coagulate in mid-air as if it had no physical form.
Mu Fang felt an extremely cold force creeping up the gun barrel, making his arm go numb.
"Father!"
Mu Yu was startled and quickly got up from the ground, hiding behind Mu Fang, only peeking out her little head.
Her Eye of Fortune clearly saw that the ugly creature was no longer human.
It was a walking, enormous, foul-smelling, dark aura of malevolence.
Meanwhile, the bright red auspiciousness on Father's body was being gradually eroded by that black aura.
"Mu Fang, you can't protect her."
Linglan laughed nervously.
"Physical attacks are useless against me."
"I am now the embodiment of resentment, the embodiment of malevolent energy!"
Yan Ziche and Xie Zhiwei also rushed out of the study, and their expressions changed upon seeing the scene before them.
“It’s Linglan!” Yan Ziche immediately recognized.
“His aura is off; it’s like he’s been devoured by something, and he’s no longer considered alive.” Xie Zhiwei’s brows furrowed tightly.
Ling Lan's gaze passed over Mu Fang's shoulder and locked onto Mu Yu.
"Little koi, your good fortune is truly sweet..."
"Once I devour you, I can reshape my body, and even become stronger than before!"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath.
An invisible suction force came, and Mu Yu felt as if a hole had been punctured in the pool of good fortune in her sea of consciousness, and her good fortune value was uncontrollably flowing outward!
"My water!"
Mu Yu cried out in surprise, her face turning pale instantly.
This is even worse than stealing her candied hawthorn!
Mu Fang sensed his daughter's weakness, his tiger-like eyes widened, and he was burning with rage.
"You're asking for it!"
He no longer tried to smash it with the tip of the spear, but instead poured his inner strength into the spear shaft, and the entire Overlord Spear shone with a faint reddish-gold light, which was the fierce blood energy of a warrior on the battlefield!
"break!"
Mu Fang swept his spear horizontally, and the crimson-gold light, like a crescent moon, swept away all the surrounding black mist.
Upon being struck by this surge of masculine energy, Ling Lan let out a painful scream, her figure becoming somewhat ethereal.
"It's no use! As long as the Nine Nether Dragon Devouring Formation in the capital is still there, my power will never cease!"
He stared at Mu Yu with resentment.
"You think you've won just by breaking through three key points of the formation? That was just bait I deliberately threw out!"
"The true core of the formation lies in the Imperial Palace! Above the dragon vein! Sikong Ming... no, His Majesty the New Emperor, will soon transform all the dragon energy of the Great Chu into my sustenance!"
"At that time, you will all die!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ziche and Xie Zhiwei exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking.
It turns out they were wrong all along.
The key point of the mass grave formation was still a trap, designed to hold Chu Chongjin back.
The real killer move was actually in the palace!
Seeing their expressions change drastically, Linglan smiled even more triumphantly.
"Despair? Pain? Soon, you'll get used to it!"
"And you, little koi, are the first offering I made in my rebirth!"
He ignored Mu Fang and transformed into a huge cloud of black mist, enveloping Mu Yu in a sweeping, overwhelming manner.
Mu Fang parried with his gun, only to find that the black mist had passed right through his body, its target being Mu Yu from beginning to end!
"Little Yu'er!" Mu Fang's eyes widened in fury.
At this critical moment.
Mu Yu, who had been hiding behind her father, suddenly stepped forward.
Her small body was held ramrod straight.
The fear on her delicately sculpted face was gone, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.
"You're not allowed to bully my father!"
"You're not allowed to steal my water!"
"You...you big bad guy!"
She accused him in a childish voice, her voice filled with anger.
In the sea of consciousness, the scroll of the Koi Carp and Auspicious Clouds Record is flashing red light wildly.
[WARNING! High concentration of resentment and malevolent energy aggregate detected. Threat level: High!]
[Active Skill - Tier 3 - Demon Slayer, activation conditions met.]
[Do you wish to consume Fortune Points to activate 'Evil-Breaking'?]
Mu Yu shouted in her heart almost without hesitation: "Go! Give him a good beating!"
"Little Yu'er, get out of the way!" Mu Fang shouted anxiously.
However, Mu Yu did not dodge.
She stretched out her chubby little hand and aimed it at the surging black mist.
A golden light shone in her palm.
The golden light was initially only the size of a grain of rice, but in an instant, it burst forth with a dazzling brilliance like the sun!
Pure, warm, peaceful, and inviolable!
This is the most fundamental and core power of the koi family.
It is the ultimate manifestation of good fortune.
It is the compassionate light that purifies all the defilement of the world!
"[Breaking Evil]!"
Mu Yu shouted in her heart.
boom--!
The golden light, like a giant wave sweeping across the heavens and earth, collided violently with the dark black mist.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
Only ice and snow melt under the scorching sun.
"No--!"
Linglan let out a final, mournful, and unwilling scream.
His proud resentment and malevolent energy were like paper before that pure golden light of good fortune; they were easily torn apart, purified, and evaporated.
His consciousness was fading, and he saw his entire life.
From a carefree little koi carp, to someone unwilling to be ordinary and sneaking into the human world, to someone who would stop at nothing for power, and finally becoming a slave to resentment.
It seems he...made a mistake.
The black fog dissipated.
The golden light then faded away.
The courtyard was restored to tranquility.
On the ground, only a small, dull-colored, ordinary fish scale, about the size of a fingernail, remained.
That was the only thing Linglan had left when she was a brocade corpse.
"Thump."
Mu Yu's small body went limp and she fell straight backward.
"Little Yu'er!"
Mu Fang reacted quickly and pulled his daughter into his arms.
The little girl was pale, her eyes were closed, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Your Highness, what happened to Xiaoyuer?" Mu Fang asked Xie Zhiwei anxiously.
Xie Zhiwei quickly stepped forward, took Mu Yu's small wrist, and then let go after a moment. She let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. The princess is just exhausted. She'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Yan Ziche looked at the fish scale on the ground, lost in thought.
"In the end, he seemed to regret it."
Mu Fang held his daughter, not even glancing at the fish scale, and snorted coldly.
"They deserved to die."
He only cares about his precious daughter now.
Just then, Mu Yu in my arms moved her little mouth and mumbled something in her sleep.
"Daddy...my feet...are so itchy..."
Mu Fang was taken aback, looked down, and saw nothing.
He didn't take it seriously and carried his daughter into the house.
One step, two steps...
"Ouch!"
General Mu, on flat ground, tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his face.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and shielded his daughter with his body before falling, preventing the little one from getting hurt at all.
Yan Ziche: "..."
Xie Zhiwei: "..."
Your Excellency, this is not like you at all.
Mu Fang scrambled to his feet, dusted himself off, and looked utterly bewildered.
What's wrong with me today? Did I not check the almanac before going out?
Unbeknownst to him, due to excessive depletion of his good fortune, their little koi fish had temporarily become a little "unlucky fellow."
And this "good luck" was first shared with her closest biological father.
