"Yunhe, you lied to me, may you die a terrible death! Ah..." Yunhe's second uncle was also sucked into the demon bird's mouth. As it bit down with its giant teeth, he could hear his bones shatter as he was devoured alive.
The two clansmen fighting alongside Chaoyangzi exchanged glances. After a feigned attack, they instantly fled. They had been deceived by Yunhe. If they didn't leave now, would Yan still be alive?
As Chaoyangzi thrust his sword at Yunhe, Yunhe only then reacted. He was terrified by the tragic sight of his clansmen and didn't know it would turn out this way. Looking at the sword piercing his heart, he weakly lifted his eyes, his mouth opening slightly. He wanted to ask, "Master, why are you doing this? I have always been loyal to you..."
Chaoyangzi indifferently withdrew his sword, and Yunhe collapsed to the ground, his life extinguished! Chaoyangzi swept his divine sense, located Yunhe's soul, and annihilated it directly. His body also turned to ashes!
At this moment, the Guiche, having devoured the Yun clan's elites, its aura surged greatly, and the entire sky suddenly darkened. The chilling aura entwined around it condensed into a tangible form, rapidly freezing the surroundings. All plants and trees that touched it lost their vitality. Within dozens of miles, it instantly transformed into a desolate, ashen-brown wasteland!
Everyone quickly used their spiritual power to resist this chilling aura. Those watching from afar in the shadows were so terrified that they scrambled to flee the scene.
"Heavens, this is too terrifying. If no one stops this ferocious beast, the entire continent will become barren and turn into purgatory." An elder of a certain sect fled in panic, thinking to himself. He wanted to help, but his own strength was low, and going there would only make him food for this beast.
The other fleeing individuals at this moment were so scared that they abandoned any thoughts of scavenging and fled the place with all their might.
Those who were slow and weak were instantly frozen into ice by the chilling aura.
"Old Ancestor, this is not good. This fiend's strength has increased again. If we don't seal it quickly, it will turn this place into an underworld." Bifang said with deep concern! This ghastly thing was originally a bridge connecting souls to the underworld. It favored the cold, Yin environment of the netherworld the most.
Suddenly, a freezing power carrying purifying energy spread out, counteracting the chilling aura. It quickly enveloped the chilling aura of the Guiche. Immaculate white ice slowly devoured the chilling aura, preventing its spread. The pure white ice formed a stark contrast with the ashen-brown ice.
"Sister, you're awake?" Xiaobai, seeing the ice sealing technique, turned back to the barrier with surprise and joy.
"Yes, Huohu, thank you for your hard work!"
Jie Ju woke up and saw the scene. Without time to think, she immediately used the ice sealing technique. Knowing that Xiaobai had been protecting her, she flew to Xiaobai and stroked her smooth, white head. Xiaobai was still in her nine-tailed true form.
"Venerable One, you're awake, that's wonderful!" Feng Chu flew over from a distance, looking at Jie Ju with joy.
Ji Wuye and Ji Chenmu looked at her with concern.
"Sister, are you all better?"
"Brothers, Feng Chu, I'm fine, the poison has been dispelled."
Chaoyangzi wanted to step forward, but remembering that his mother had harmed the Venerable One, he hesitated and stopped.
Suddenly, Chaoxiangzi flashed out from the spatial dimension. He had just woken up and, seeing the scene outside from within the dimension, he hurried out. He wanted to help the Venerable One.
"Qingyin, are your injuries healed?" Jie Ju remembered how he had unhesitatingly taken a sword for her and asked with concern about the shock she felt at that moment.
"Venerable One, you don't need to worry, I am fine! I came specifically to help you. If we cannot kill this Guiche, we must find a way to seal it!"
Sect Master Chao, who was in the distance, saw Chaoxiangzi and wanted to fly over. Old Ancestor Chao stopped him, saying it was not a time for reminiscing.
"Cannot kill it?" Jie Ju turned to look at the ferocious beast that was as large as a mountain, her fighting spirit brimming!
The ice sealing technique countered the chilling aura, and the Guiche, sensing something was wrong, became even more enraged.
At this moment, the demon stone sealed in the spatial dimension trembled violently. Attracted by the Guiche outside, the demon stone desperately wanted to devour it.
"Little Jie Ju, quickly deal with this Guiche. The spatial demon stone's reaction is too violent," Dragon God reminded Jie Ju. If his strength were not yet recovered, he would have liked to let the demon stone devour this fiend.
"Uncle Long, if the demon stone devours this Guiche, will you be able to reseal it?" Jie Ju and Dragon God had the same thought.
"Little Jie Ju, you think too highly of your Uncle Long. This demon stone is a supreme treasure of the demon realm. If it hadn't fallen into that small world, its demonic power would have greatly diminished, allowing it to be sealed. After it devours this fiend, with our current strength, we likely won't be able to control it!
At that time, the demon stone will turn this place into a part of the demon realm! Creating more demonic creatures!"
Upon hearing this, Jie Ju quickly dismissed the idea. This demon stone was like Pandora's Box! It couldn't be touched, absolutely not!
What could be done now? Only attack!
"Feng Chu, you, Qingyang, and Qingyin find an opportunity to set up a formation and see if you can trap it. I will attract its attention.
City Lord Bi and that senior will capture Dongfang Taiyi." Jie Ju quickly assigned tasks.
Old Ancestor Chao and Bifang in the distance nodded. Sect Master Chao was also placed into the spatial dimension. Jie Ju was not worried about Sect Master Chao discovering the spatial dimension; with Uncle Long in it, apart from the Heavenly Dao here, she feared no one now!
After being poisoned, she had benefited from the misfortune, and her strength had improved further. The drawback was that if she didn't resolve the Guiche soon, she would be unable to suppress her cultivation and would ascend on the spot!
"Sister, I, Wuye brother, and the others will help you," Long Huohu said hurriedly.
"Yes, you and my two brothers will help me. The rest, Steward Zhu and others, will return to the spatial dimension." She saw that everyone else was already exhausted. Their cultivation was low, and she knew they had risked their lives to protect her while she was healing.
Jie Ju knew that Dongfang Taiyi had designs on Xiaobai, and she was uneasy. She only felt at ease when Xiaobai was by her side.
"Yes, Immortal Fairy." Steward Zhu, Ayou, and Wangyou took their orders and left. This was not a time for sentimentality; they could not become a burden.
"Xiaomo!" Jie Ju called out to the golden dragon in the distance. The golden dragon tacitly flew to Jie Ju's side quickly. Jie Ju leaped lightly and stood on the dragon's head.
Jie Ju's aura had changed drastically. Her black hair fluttered without wind, and wisps of killing intent spread out, making her look like a war god looking down upon all heroes!
"Qingtian Sword, Overpowering Mountains and Rivers!"
Jie Ju shouted coquettishly and slowly swung the Qingtian Sword in her hand. It was an unpretentious strike. At this moment, the green mark on her forehead appeared, and a surging, vigorous sword energy like a Milky Way of white silk flashed across the sky with a dazzling white light, slashing towards the Guiche.
Chaoyangzi, riding his qilin, also launched an attack. The thirty-six forms of the Qingfeng Sword, the upper nine forms and the lower nine forms, were unleashed with full force.
Feng Chu and Chaoxiangzi, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to set up a trapping formation around the Guiche. The two had cooperated before and were now in perfect sync.
However, the Guiche's nine heads coordinated with each other, its defense being ten-fold. Its colossal body was impervious to water and fire, and it could not be pierced by blades or spears! The sinister soul energy surrounding it protected it layer by layer, preventing its vital points from being injured, which was why the battle had dragged on without a clear winner.
But facing Jie Ju's sword strike, the Guiche felt threatened. Three of its heads simultaneously spat out a black, viscous substance, forming a barrier in an attempt to block the sword strike...
