Chapter 236 You just abandoned me once, so I'll return the favor once more.
In the face of despair, Shen Yuepo and Feng Jin stood side by side.
At the heart of the sea of blood, raging energy divided space into two distinct battlefields.
On the left, Shen Yuepo's body was surrounded by a cool spiritual energy, and the short sword in his hand was emitting a sharp, cold light, with the tip pointing directly at Yun Jingyan, whose face was distorted on one side.
Although Yun Jingyan lost his physical body, his soul, which was forcibly merged with Dong Yuan, became corrupted and his power became unpredictable.
But his obsession with Shen Yuepo made his attacks even more insidious and cunning.
He manipulated the filthy resentment within the sea of blood, transforming it into countless blood needles.
She conjured up all sorts of warm and tender moments from their past relationship as master and disciple, attempting to disturb Shen Yuepo's mind.
"Disciple, do you still remember the first talisman I taught you?" Yun Jingyan's voice was mixed in with the attack, sometimes near and sometimes far, filled with a nauseating tenderness.
Shen Yuepo's eyes remained frozen, unmoved.
Her movements were as nimble as moonlight, weaving through a shower of blood needles and phantoms.
Each swing of the short sword carries the resolute determination to sever ties with the past.
The sword energy cleansed away the filth, shattering the poisonous needles and illusions one by one.
The sword light and the resentment collided continuously, emitting a hissing, corrosive sound and an explosion.
However, after merging with Dongyuan, Yun Jingyan's ability to mobilize the power of the Blood Sea far exceeded that of ordinary people.
A surprise attack followed by a feint strike: a palm print containing the remnants of Yun Jingyan's divinity suddenly pierced through Shen Yuepo's sword energy defense and landed heavily on her shoulder.
"Bang!"
Shen Yuepo let out a muffled groan, his body flying backward uncontrollably, crashing straight into a surging wave of blood before barely managing to stop his momentum.
On the right, the battle was even more massive and dangerous.
The Emperor's robes billowed, and the Emperor's Seal of Fengdu hung high above his head, with thousands of black chains hanging down, fiercely resisting the dark power of the blood sea stirred up by the cave.
Dongyuan's attacks were more direct and savage; with a wave of his hand, blood waves would transform into dragons, roaring and crashing forth.
Her silver hair danced wildly, each strand capable of transforming into a venomous thorn that pierced the soul.
When Feng Jin saw that Chen Yuepo was injured, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he glanced to his left.
"I'm fine!"
Shen Yuepo sensed his worry, propped herself up, and her eyes became even sharper and colder.
She glanced at the slightly dimmed dagger in her hand, then looked at Yun Jingyan, who was laughing triumphantly after hitting her.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yuepo slashed across his left palm.
"laugh!"
Spiritual energy and blood gushed forth.
She gripped the blade of the short sword tightly with her bloodied palm and slowly wiped it across her face.
"With my blood, I will consecrate my sword."
"The moon is the guide, and reincarnation is the contract."
"The past is extinguished, and all evil is vanquished!"
As her deep, clear incantation resounded, the blood-stained sword burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.
The light was no longer the cool, moon-white, but had transformed into a blazing, sun-like crimson-gold, faintly imbued with the netherworld power of the ashes.
The sword hummed, emitting a clear, ancient sound, and a terrifying aura that surpassed ordinary spiritual power spread out.
Yun Jingyan's smug expression froze instantly, replaced by a deep-seated fear.
He felt his connection with the cave abyss tremble violently and become unstable under the crimson-gold sword light.
With sword in hand, Shen Yuepo took a step forward, her body moving with the sword, transforming into a streak of crimson-gold light that pierced straight at Yun Jingyan's brow.
This sword strike was so fast that it transcended the constraints of time and space, embodying all her power and her resolute determination to sever ties with the past.
Yun Jingyan screamed and mobilized all the evil power he could control to resist, but the crimson-gold sword light was unstoppable and easily tore through the layers of filth.
"puff!"
It wasn't the sound of something piercing flesh, but rather the muffled thud of something being severed from its very essence, of a contract being torn apart.
"Ugh!!"
Yun Jingyan's face contorted in agony as he let out a bloodcurdling scream.
The cave abyss that had been forcibly merged with him also trembled violently, its eyes widening suddenly, as a backlash acted on both of them simultaneously.
Seeing this, Feng Jin swung the Soul-Locking Chain, piercing Dong Yuan's brow.
"Wow!"
The fused monster suddenly spat out a mouthful of foul blood.
The light of the entire fusion body dimmed rapidly, its aura plummeted, and even the barely maintained humanoid form began to show signs of disintegration.
Yun Jingyan lowered his head, looking at the soul light emanating from his fused body, and suddenly let out a low, crazed, and sorrowful laugh:
"Hahahaha, Heaven's will... Is this Heaven's punishment for me? My origins lie in your blood, and my downfall is also due to your blood..."
He recalled his past life, including his covetousness and exploitation of Shen Yuepo's special bloodline in his previous life.
But now, he has been severely injured by the power of this bloodline, which is a great irony.
He abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with hysterical madness, his voice shrill:
"But... even if my soul and spirit are annihilated, even if I am condemned to eternal damnation! I will drag you all down with me!"
At the same time, Dong Yuan's gaze was fixed on Feng Jin, his voice filled with hatred and a hint of relief:
"Feng Jin, even if it means dragging you down to the bottom of a sea of blood, even if my soul is scattered... I will have no regrets!"
"Let's die together!!"
At the last moment, Yun Jingyan and Dong Yuan's wills were united, unleashing a soul-rending roar.
At the center of the fused entity, a destructive force was frantically gathering.
They intend to completely detonate the body that combines the remnant soul of a demigod with an ancient evil spirit, along with the sea of blood they have stirred up around it.
Once the explosion occurs, not only will Feng Jin and Shen Yuepo be doomed, but the entire Blood Sea Seal will completely collapse, flooding the mortal realm.
"not good!"
Feng Jin's expression changed drastically.
Without any hesitation, he instantly appeared beside Shen Yuepo and grabbed her wrist.
The light of the Fengdu Imperial Seal surged towards her with all its might, attempting to forcibly tear open a passage to the outside of the barrier. "Go! I'll send you out!"
Shen Yuepo remained unusually calm. She raised her eyes and looked at Feng Jin, who was standing close by.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.
That smile, devoid of sadness or fear, was clear and serene, just like when we first met.
“Feng Jin,” she began, her voice eerily calm, “Do you remember? Before we were together, I always made sure we were even.”
Feng Jin's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding gripping his chest: "You..."
Shen Yuepo interrupted him, still smiling, but her eyes reflected his anxious face. Her words were light, yet carried immense weight:
"You just abandoned me once, so... I'll return the favor once more."
The moment the words left her lips, Shen Yuepo flipped her wrist and broke free from Feng Jin's grasp.
In her other hand, she had somehow already grasped a bone flute.
She gently tossed the bone flute into the air above her head.
The bone flute did not fall, but hovered in mid-air, beginning to rotate slowly on its own, emitting an increasingly intense light.
At the same time, Shen Yuepo's spiritual power erupted in a burning manner.
Moon-white spiritual energy supported her body, slowly suspending her up to the same height as the bone flute.
She formed a mudra with her hands, her long hair moved without wind, she closed her eyes, and her lips moved silently as an obscure incantation flowed from her heart.
Through the resonance of the bone flute, it transformed into waves of thought, echoing within the collapsing sea of blood:
"Netherworld karmic fire, a thousand years of reincarnation bear witness!"
"I will offer my own body as a sacrifice to bear the weight of the sea of blood."
"With my soul as the anchor, I will uphold the order of Yin and Yang."
"Change to what you love...freedom."
"I am willing to forever guard this sea of blood; this will never waver!"
"Contract...established!"
The moment the last syllable fell, the bone flute shone brightly, transforming into a huge rune that slowly imprinted itself onto the sea of blood below.
She must sacrifice her own existence to forcibly take over from Feng Jin, complete the seal on the Blood Sea, and exchange it for his chance to leave.
"No!"
Feng Jin's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar as he charged towards Chen Yuepo like a madman, only to be gently repelled by the light emanating from the bone flute.
Shen Yuepo glanced at him one last time, the smile on her lips lingering, her eyes serene and without regret.
