Zhang Jinchi slashed his palm: "With my blood, and the black mist as a sacrifice, activate the Chaotic Northern Star Array!"
Then, with a very light movement, he struck the formation on Nian Wanzhou's head, oh, and that disciple who was oblivious to his own death and resisted him.
He actually dared to insult him and even knock his precious magical artifact away! Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! Then... let's all die together!
In an instant, a massive barrier enveloped the two of them, making it pitch black and impossible to see anything... all that could be heard were painful screams and dragon roars.
"ah!!!"
"Third Senior Brother, are you alright? Third Senior Brother!"
Get out of the way!
The sounds of swords clashing and colliding echoed from within the barrier, along with Nian Wanzhou's shrill screams.
Those outside who were able to resist had already been beaten so badly they couldn't stand up; the rest...
The sect leaders were trapped in one place by the black mist, their eyes white and unconscious. They were pulled forward by this force, only to be bounced back, in a never-ending cycle, with no end in sight.
The injured are still injured, the unconscious remain unconscious, and those who were previously isolated are still unable to enter.
No one could rescue Nian Wanzhou and her companion, who were trapped inside the barrier.
They... can only save themselves.
Suddenly, an extremely angry dragon roar came from inside the barrier, followed by a violent energy explosion, which instantly shattered the entire black barrier.
After the dragon's roar came Nian Wanzhou's desolate and helpless cries, and... Zhao Zhishan's miserable state.
Unable to withstand the pressure and powerful attacks within the barrier, he was brutally cut in half at the waist. Nian Wanzhou held his body, which was covered in wounds, staining Zhao Zhishan's entire body red...
Those who had been stunned by the dragon's roar woke up and were all dumbfounded to see the barrier destroyed. What had happened?
Even though Nian Wanzhou used her strength to protect Zhao Zhishan, she couldn't protect him or alleviate his injuries.
After being hit on the head and losing her senses, Nian Wanzhou curled up in his arms, her eyes empty and lifeless, spinning in the air, tears of blood streaming from her eyes.
She was completely numb and didn't know what to do; Zhao Zhishan was about to die.
"Third Senior Brother, you'll be alright! I can save you, I can... You still owe me so many meals. You said you'd take me to the Sect Master's private treasury to steal food, but you haven't taken me yet. You can't be in trouble!" Nian Wanzhou's eyes, which were gradually turning white, kept oozing blood and tears, and her gaze was unfocused.
"Cough cough, Wanwan, I'm fine, don't... don't worry." Zhao Zhishan, whose life force was slowly fading, knew exactly what was wrong with him.
He also wanted to repair his body, but a force was constantly draining his life force, preventing him from healing himself.
It wasn't the power of the black mist; it seemed... it was simply his destiny.
"Wanwan, don't be greedy for food from outside anymore, be careful someone might poison you. Listen to your senior sister, don't argue with your second senior brother anymore, he's an idiot. And... and don't forget me." There was no time to say the rest, Zhao Zhishan's eyes were unfocused, and he tried to reach out to touch Nian Wanzhou's face.
Nian Wanzhou lowered her head to search for his hand, tears dripping onto Zhao Zhishan's body. She hissed softly, transferring all her spiritual power into Zhao Zhishan.
"No, this can't be! Third Senior Brother, hold on, I..." She had been channeling her spiritual energy too quickly, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, and the energy wasn't even having any effect. "How could this be? It can't be! I clearly saved Senior Sister and the others, how could it not work?"
Zhao Zhishan's breath grew weaker and weaker, his life force dissipated along with the spiritual energy transferred by Nian Wanzhou, and his eyes slowly closed. In the end, Nian Wanzhou's figure could no longer be seen.
Nian Wanzhou held Zhao Zhishan's body and wept bitterly, her body trembling.
"How could this happen? Little Heavenly Dao, come out, come out!" Nian Wanzhou shouted in disbelief as she held Zhao Zhishan's two blood-soaked, lifeless bodies.
He completely disregarded the astonishment of those around him.
"It can't be him, it's not him who deserves to die, waaaaah... Third Senior Brother, wake up! Don't leave me, Nan Yu and I still have so many things we haven't finished doing with you..."
"Now that you're gone, who will join me in cursing Pigsy?"
"Ah!!!" Nian Wanzhou roared to the sky, her grief echoing through the heavens, accompanied by a piercing dragon's cry, and...
Out-of-control dragon divine power.
No one expected Zhao Zhishan to die like this.
He was clearly protecting Nian Wanzhou, and he seemed perfectly fine. Damn it... it shouldn't have been him!
"Third brother!" The eldest elder, who had finally broken free from the control of the black mist, saw this heartbreaking scene as soon as he regained consciousness. He struggled to go up and take away his two young disciples.
"Zhishan!" The sect leader's one eye was almost transparent, while the other eye, which he barely managed to open, was full of bloodshot veins.
He struggled quite painfully.
The sudden burst of dragon power and pressure not only prevented everyone from getting close to them, but also sent them flying far away by the aftershocks, far enough that they were beyond being harmed.
Those around her couldn't get close to Nian Wanzhou, let alone comfort her; this grief-stricken and terrifying force spread throughout the entire battlefield. Everyone was plunged into unprecedented sorrow, and those below the Nascent Soul stage even lost their consciousness.
Everyone, including the black mist, lost their ability to resist this power and could no longer fight.
Pure white spiritual energy surged from Nian Wanzhou's body, instantly engulfing all the black mist, which was then transformed into her spiritual energy.
Some were protecting those present, while others huddled together to form a natural barrier.
Inside the barrier, Zhang Jinchi, who was enveloped within it, suddenly felt a sense of fear that spread from his heart to his entire body, and even his soul trembled.
"What's going on?" Zhang Jinchi was inexplicably afraid, but he just couldn't resist it.
"Hmph, I don't care what you are, I'm going to eat your flesh and drink your blood today, and kill all the people you cherish, hahahaha!" Even at this point, he was still spouting nonsense, completely unaware of the terrifying torture he was about to suffer.
After losing consciousness completely, Nian Wanzhou wrapped Zhao Zhishan's body in her spiritual power and placed it in a safe place, staring at Zhang Jinchi with a fierce look in her eyes.
There's also the Red Dragon, who's been suppressed to the point of being unable to move.
The red dragon was truly terrified. This power was even more terrifying than that of its ancestor, as if it were the natural ruler of the dragon race. He dared not make a sound, fearing that Nian Wanzhou would discover him and skin him alive.
"Roar!" Nian Wanzhou let out a furious dragon roar, which made the head of the person and the dragon in the barrier ache.
"Rumble rumble rumble..."
A deafening thunderclap echoed through the sky as Nian Wanzhou walked towards them step by step.
