After attacking the dim soul orb, Sfahri, like Risfahri before him, mysteriously disappeared.
The bead, which was already on its last legs, now showed faint cracks on its surface, and thick, honey-like black liquid seeped out, dripping onto the stone slab below and emitting plumes of smoke.
Even so, it continued to curse viciously, in a voice that sounded like it was about to die.
The once chattering soul bead, amidst the increasingly loud music, lost its former vibrancy. It stumbled and fluttered in mid-air, like a headless fly.
"Youngest brother, don't blame me for being heartless."
After hesitating for a moment, it finally launched a resolute attack on Herisfa.
A sound like an eggshell cracking rang out, and a sudden burst of black light shone brightly in the thick fog, almost blinding people.
Prosperity leads to decline, and the cycle repeats itself.
The clamorous music abruptly ceased after its climax, leaving only the lingering echoes of distant fireworks, sometimes faint, sometimes faint.
Yun Wei lowered his raised forearm and then realized that the black mist that permeated the Nine Heavens had completely dissipated.
Only a bright red bead remained, lying quietly in the pitted depression of the stone slab. Its surface was covered with grotesque, tumor-like blood vessels that undulated irregularly, as if it were still breathing.
Beside the bead lay a spatial ring, presumably Herisfa's private possession.
He was about to step forward to examine it when Isaac stopped him.
The tall knight showed no signs of fatigue, only a serious expression, as he warned in a low voice, "Be careful, it's still alive. The Abyss Apostle... is almost impossible to destroy."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei was taken aback.
He had originally intended to go forward and finish off the enemy, but after hearing the servant's advice, he became somewhat at a loss.
After dispelling the magic he had prepared, he couldn't help but look at Isaac and ask, "Then what should we do?"
In any case, they cannot simply leave a soul orb, the embodiment of an abyss apostle, in the City of Jade Glass.
Isaac hesitated for a moment, then said, "We can only seal it away for now. Do you remember the 'Pale Ghost' that Sid left you? Try to use it to put this soul orb inside."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei's expression became quite complex.
He certainly remembered that "Pale Ghost," after all, it contained the eccentric old George.
Sid generously gave him the "mysterious metal" as payment for guarding old George.
But Yunwei wasn't interested in Old George. He used many spatial props to nest him layer by layer, and then left him to gather dust in a corner of the undead space.
Well, since there's already a filthy, disgusting thing inside, I might as well put Herisfa in there to keep him company.
Hearing footsteps approaching from behind, Yun Wei stopped thinking and quickly took out the 'Pale Ghost' to put Herisfa inside.
The process went surprisingly smoothly.
Of course, he also picked up the ring that the other person had dropped.
There might be clues about the abyss inside, but there are too many people around now, so we can only look at it carefully later.
After quickly finishing all this, Yun Wei said to Xie Mulang, "Brother Xie, please make time to come over after dawn, and we will open it together then."
Xie Mulang readily agreed.
But just then, the three heard a sinister voice behind them, "Pyromancer, hurry up and burn the remaining eight monsters to ashes!"
It turned out that those who returned were not only Nangong Ning, who was holding a tambourine, and Qin Lushu, who was holding a jade flute, but also Huo Miaodan, the head of the Huo family, who was leading a group of servants to protect the courtyard.
The three then noticed that there were eight resurrected zombies standing below the arena.
It's no wonder the three forgot about them; compared to the Abyss Apostles, these vengeful corpses were utterly insignificant.
With the apostles gone, they lost their source of power and stood there blankly, shedding tears of blood.
Even from that distance, Yun Wei could feel the intense sorrow and resentment emanating from those stiff, vengeful corpses.
While both are negative emotions, they are completely different from those of the Abyss Apostles.
That pure human grief could easily touch his heartstrings and evoke a sense of resonance.
However, with Huo Miaodan's command, the fluctuation of fire element immediately came from the air, and four fire dragons appeared out of thin air, heading straight for the eight vengeful corpses.
Unexpectedly, the vengeful corpse, which was originally difficult to damage even when slashed by a sharp sword, quickly turned charred black under the scorching flames.
Yunwei knew that this was because they had lost the control of the apostles and could no longer resist external harm.
"Hehe!"
They cried out in despair, moving their feet stiffly, trying to dodge, but how could they outrun the agile fire dragon?
Upon seeing them move, the crowd retreated in terror, urging the mage controlling the fire dragon to increase the firepower.
Huo Miaodan was left standing silently at the front, her sinister face full of smugness.
This scene greatly displeased Yun Wei.
He had long disliked the head of the Huo family.
If the other side hadn't suddenly jumped out and given some nonsensical instructions, Huo Mingchan might not have lost, and they would have been more at ease facing the apostles.
Moreover, the mournful cries coming from "Miaoyuan" were constantly questioning his conscience.
Although the four-sword battle has ended, those fleeting sword intents remain in his heart, making up for the lessons he had fallen behind in.
Despite enduring ten years of wandering in the end times, he still maintained the four cardinal virtues.
To empathize with someone's pain and feel compassion is the beginning of benevolence.
To draw one's sword and help those in need is the beginning of righteousness.
Almost without hesitation, four azure "water chains" shot out from Yun Wei's fingertips, firmly binding the arrogant fire dragon in mid-air.
Fire Dragon is a level four spell, while Water Chains is only a level two spell.
But under Yun Wei's control, the water chains that splashed up were like swimming serpents, tightly binding the originally domineering fire dragon, making it unable to move.
The mage wielding the fire dragon spell strained with all his might, his face flushed red, but he was helpless. His opponent inwardly groaned, realizing he'd met a true expert.
The water chain swayed, and warm water droplets fell on the charred faces of the vengeful corpses, extinguishing the flames that lingered on their bodies.
The damp ash slid down his thin chin, like tears.
Upon seeing this, Huo Miaodan couldn't help but snort coldly: "Where did this brat come from? He's utterly rude. Don't think you can act like you own the place just because you won a game for Bili City. This Nine Heavens is not a place for you to be so presumptuous!"
This head of the Huo family was obsessed with power politics, but knew nothing about actual strength.
He thought Yun Wei was just a swordsman who had won the match by showing off a few basic sword moves.
Upon hearing from his retainer that Yun Wei had only used a level two spell, he immediately looked down on him even more.
The saying "greed leads to a lack of expertise" is such a simple principle, yet the other party doesn't even understand it.
The young man in front of me doesn't look very old; his strength is probably not even as good as that boy from the Xie family.
No matter how senior Xie Mulang is in the Xie family, when he stands in front of Huo Miaodan, he still has to respectfully address him as "Head of the Huo Family".
Seeing the other person's uncertain expression, Huo Miaodan felt even more smug and shouted authoritatively, "Get out of the way and retreat immediately!"
Yun Wei was so angry he laughed.
There are many fools on the Zhuyuan Continent, but he has never seen anyone as foolish as Huo Miaodan who is so self-righteous.
He lifted his eyelids and sneered, "Sweeping the courtyard on New Year's Eve, the Huo family actually missed out on such a clever person as you. What a misfortune for the family."
However, they directly compared Huo Miaodan to trash who should be swept out the door.
As the saying goes, on the 28th of the lunar year, people sweep away the dirt and grime.
The ditches are dredged and all dust and dirt is removed; this is called the end of the year.
Before the New Year, everyone in Bili City had to clean up the grime and grime to welcome the New Year in a clean and tidy manner. Even though Yun Wei and Isaac were living in the Taichang Temple, they were busy with the cleaning for a long time.
You should know that Yun Wei is very good with words.
Since he excels at exploiting weaknesses, instantly breaking through defenses and depleting health bars, it's perfectly normal for him to do so.
Moreover, he deliberately chose to say things that were easy for anyone to understand, for fear that the stupid Huo family patriarch would not understand and his efforts would be in vain.
He was so thoughtful; Huo Miaodan must have understood.
The other person's pale and ashen complexion was the best proof.
Bathed in the flickering torches of the servants, the patriarch's狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face was even more terrifying than a vengeful corpse.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!" Huo Miaodan trembled with rage, but pointed at Yun Wei and shouted, "Guards! Seize him!"
