"Milord is not an ordinary Martial Artist, but I am not an ordinary Cultivator either."
Lady Liu's voice was ethereal.
As her words fell, blood-red columns of light lit up around Chen Mo, trapping him like a cage.
He reached out to touch the column, and his fingers instantly turned blackened and charred!
The flesh rotted away, revealing the bone!
"Since Milord insists on interfering, you might as well leave your life behind."
The wives of the Liu Family stepped forward, forming a seven-star position, trapping Chen Mo between "Tianshu" and "Tianquan."
The blood-red light intensified as the columns narrowed inexorably.
They were about to grind Chen Mo to death!
"This person's True Yuan is abundant, not like a Sixth-Rank, and his sword technique is impressively strong, impossible to confront head-on."
"But after all, a Martial Artist is a Martial Artist, limited in thods, absolutely unable to break through my Blood Prison."
"As long as I exhaust him to death before midnight, allowing the Demon Creature to transform and offering it in the ritual, then great things can be accomplished!"
Lady Liu muttered to herself.
Her voice alternated between that of a young girl and a mature woman.
The rat perched on her shoulder squeaked excitedly, unable to restrain its desire to feast.
Unbeknownst to it, it too was one of the offerings.
Bang!
At that mont, a figure fell from the roof, hitting the ground solidly.
Li Yuan propped herself up with the Stray Blade, climbing up from the ground, her heart cursing:
This scoundrel's attacks are too vicious, causing to walk unsteadily...
"..."
Lady Liu's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Another interference—kill her first!"
The wives of the Liu Family leaped towards Li Yuan!
Li Yuan swept a glance, quickly understanding the situation, a hint of excitent flashing in her eyes.
Bring it on!
I've been holding back my anger and have nowhere to vent!
She swung her Stray Blade around like splashing water, enveloping her opponents within it.
Chaotic Slash Blade, a battle technique used in the army, is perfect for fighting outnumbered!
Fighting seven against one, without falling behind!
Lady Liu frowned even deeper; previously, her focus had all been on Chen Mo, but she didn't expect this woman to be so troubleso!
But no big deal.
There's still enough ti, just need to stall Li Yuan, then she can slowly refine Chen Mo...
Swoosh!
A shrill sound pierced the air.
A sound arrow streaked through the night sky, exploding loudly!
Under the firelight, more than ten figures were rushing towards this location, with the chubby leader shouting loudly:
"Protect the General, follow to fight the enemies!"
They had gathered at the governnt office by 9 p.m. as instructed by Chen Mo.
After a long wait, Constable Xing brought the news that both Generals had decided to stay overnight at Liu Mansion...
Qin Shou knew Chen Mo was not soone swayed by lust; realizing sothing was amiss, he led people to Liu Mansion.
On the way, they saw Sword Qi piercing the sky, and then they stumbled upon this scene.
Constable Xing followed behind, his face slightly pale.
Realizing that he had misunderstood Chen Mo.
"Lady Liu is actually the murderer!"
"Milord stayed at the Liu Family not because he was tempted by beauty... but to exorcise the demon!"
...
"These insignificant pawns also dare to join the fray!"
Lady Liu spread her arms, her clothes billowing, endless black mist pouring out from her sleeves, engulfing everyone.
They imdiately lost their direction; though close to each other, they were blind and trapped in the black mist, spinning around.
"It's almost midnight, can't delay any longer, kill this woman first!"
Lady Liu spoke, but her voice ca from the mouths of all seven wives simultaneously.
Demon Ghosts have their rules—kill one every three days, the dead must wear a wedding robe... Since Chen Mo has been chosen, even though she is a Ghost Cultivator, she cannot change it.
First, take care of this nuisance woman, then fully refine Chen Mo!
"Years of planning, just one step away, how could I give it all up now?"
"Quick battle, quick decision, to avoid attracting the Grandmaster from the Capital City!"
Lady Liu's mouth widened, splitting to her ears, she suddenly inhaled deeply, the black gas entering her belly, her figure swelling many tis over.
Then, astonishingly, she swallowed all seven concubines whole!
After swallowing the seven, her aura climbed steeply, the black mist around her body thicker even than the night!
Boom!
Two red lanterns lit up in the black mist, a monster several ters tall stepped out with large strides!
Eyes blood-red like lanterns, seven pairs of arms growing alongside its body, its flesh rippling horrifically, intermittently revealing human faces of extre ferocity and terror!
Even Li Yuan, with her temperant, couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end!
"Die!"
Eight voices lded together, as massive palms repeatedly struck down like the sky collapsing!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The street caved in, houses collapsed, as if the earth cracked and heaven shattered!
Li Yuan darted around, dodging while continuously swinging the Stray Blade to counterattack.
But just as she chopped off the monster's toes, black mist surged out, instantly regenerating it to its original state! She couldn't inflict any substantial damage!
"If this goes on, I'll be worn to death eventually!"
"I can only risk it all!"
Li Yuan's eyes hardened.
Her figure halted, her long sword thrust into the ground.
She grasped the sword hilt with her palm, her feet stepping on the blade edge, the nearly two-ters-long Stray Blade curved like a crescent moon!
Just as the seven pairs of palms struck down, the sword straightened, and her entire body suddenly sprung up, shrugging her shoulders, narrowly passing through the fingers, and arriving in front of the massive head!
Under the vast night sky, she leaned against the moon, resembling a fierce tiger in the moonlight!
Li Yuan held the sword with both hands, pouring True Yuan into it, her domineering Sword Intent slashing towards the monster's neck!
Chaotic Slash Blade·Thousand Army Beheading!
This was the only chance!
However, the seven faces continuously erging from the monster's body simultaneously revealed a sinister smile, a cunning look flashing in their blood-red eyes.
Its chest split open, and unexpectedly another pair of large hands stretched out!
"Damn!"
Li Yuan's pupils contracted!
At that mont, she was suspended in mid-air with nowhere to lend force, getting directly caught!
"Good combat awareness and courage, it's a sha, the strength is still lacking."
"Kill you first, then handle him..."
The monster held the woman in its hands, its mouth gaping wide, ready to swallow her in one bite!
A desperate gamble, doesn't always succeed.
Failure, ans nothing is left!
Slling that unbearably foul odor, as darkness enlarged in her eyes and her face turned pale, a sense of despair surged—
Is this death?
Countless tis she had treaded on the edge of life and death, but always managed to survive till the end.
But this ti, it seed she was truly going to die.
She truly wasn't willing.
She hadn't fulfilled her father's final wish, hadn't reached the peak of Sword Way, hadn't experienced a romance, hadn't defeated Chen Mo, that bastard...
Is it ending... now?
Suddenly, the monster's movent paused.
Seemingly sensing sothing, it slowly turned around.
Li Yuan followed its gaze, and was instantly stunned.
She saw Chen Mo, trapped in the Blood Prison, grasping red beams of light, wisps of green smoke rising, accompanied by the sll of burning flesh.
"Don't underestimate , huh, you think this can trap ?!"
His palms were burnt to the bone, yet he was still forcibly pushing apart the beams of light.
The monster's eyes intensely glowed red, the Blood Prison rapidly contracting, almost completely enveloping him!
But Chen Mo still walked forward slowly but resolutely.
Under the erosion of the blood light, his flesh peeled away, revealing grim bones, and even the heart pulsating within his rib cage was visible!
"Is this guy not afraid of dying?"
The monster looked at him blankly.
Chen Mo took his final step, finally stepping out of the Blood Prison.
At that mont, with only half of his face skin remaining, he revealed an imnsely satisfying smile.
"The evening sun of the other side, damn, it really hurts!"
Sword sheathed, Qi restrained.
The monster felt an inexplicable fear in its heart, as if being watched by sothing far greater and profound.
In the blink of an eye, a spectacularly radiant Sword Qi burst forth like a galaxy turned upside down!
Majestically, Life Essence infused within it, a blue dragon faintly taking shape, surrounded by thunder, rapidly enlarging in its blood-red pupils!
"Roar!"
The dragon awakened from hibernation; the spring thunder began to roar!
Upon contact with the monster, the blue Essence imdiately obliterated the black fog!
Life took over death, and with a terrified expression on its face, the monster's massive body crumbled to dust.
The world seed to quiet down.
Cloudless skies, a gentle wind, and suddenly, a light misty rain began.
Li Yuan landed on the ground, through the dense rain curtain, watching the man covered in scales and wounds...
Unwittingly, she grew a bit infatuated.
