That’s it for now.
Quickly, Liou Yuan’s eyes bulged.
Because he vaguely saw through the gaps in Dai Yao’s fingers holding the Star Evil.
Most of the transparent Star Evil’s body had already disappeared.
The remaining small part was still drilling into the flesh of Dai Yao’s palm.
"Not good!" Liou Yuan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He rembered what Mr. Ge had told him before.
Star Evil has a strong obsession with living beings, especially cultivators.
Otherwise, Liou Yuan wouldn’t be used as bait to lure the Star Evil from the well.
Similarly, Dai Yao’s body is also an excellent vessel for the Star Evil.
This Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer body, combined with the Star Evil’s strangeness, Liou Yuan couldn’t imagine what kind of monster would be born if it succeeded.
In a flash, Liou Yuan’s gaze changed from astonishnt to decision.
"We can’t let it succeed."
If the Star Evil successfully parasitizes Dai Yao, he, Mr. Ge, and the twenty constables outside would have to die, and none could escape.
Liou Yuan’s decisive nature could be glimpsed from his previous battle with Ping’an.
In this critical mont, he couldn’t care about anything else.
With a stomp, Liou Yuan’s body sprinted forward.
Mr. Ge only felt a gentle breeze beside him as Liou Yuan rushed toward Dai Yao.
"You reckless kid!" Mr. Ge instinctively shouted.
Liou Yuan had no ti to explain to Mr. Ge.
The courtyard was just this big; by the ti the latter’s voice fell, he had already co to Dai Yao.
Though Dai Yao’s body couldn’t move, his eyes clearly remained conscious.
Seeing Liou Yuan’s arrival, his anxious eyes first froze, then beca excited, blinking frantically at his arm.
Liou Yuan didn’t misunderstand his aning.
"Apologies!" Liou Yuan yelled, drawing out the giant sword behind him.
Then, he raised the giant sword high, taking a deep breath.
Bang bang bang! As his internal organs shook.
Yunwu Prefecture activation.
This ti was different from the last ti he activated Yunwu Prefecture.
Last ti, he had no spiritual power to support him, relying solely on his body to resist the burden Yunwu Prefecture imposed.
Now, as Yunwu Prefecture activated, six strands of spiritual power began to roam within his organs, dispelling the burden while unleashing even greater power.
Yunwu Prefecture doesn’t have the magic proficiency distinctions like the Lion’s Roar Spell.
Because its power climbs with the cultivator’s strength.
At this mont, Liou Yuan’s skin did not exhibit the strange crimson caused by extre congestion.
The surging sense of power inside him conducted outward, spreading throughout his body, also flowing into his arms holding the raised giant sword.
Yunwu Prefecture’s execution seed lengthy, but in reality was instantaneous.
With Yunwu Prefecture enhancing him, Liou Yuan poured all the unspent power into his arms, roaring.
Then the giant sword swept down.
Landing at the arm being drilled into by the Star Evil, aid to be parasitized.
Bang!
Mr. Ge at the courtyard’s edge hadn’t yet grasped what was happening.
Just watched as sword light flickered in the courtyard.
Dai Yao’s right wrist snapped cleanly under Liou Yuan’s sword.
The hand flew away with the severed wrist’s blood.
By borrowing the star and moonlight, Mr. Ge then saw the Star Evil half-drilled into Dai Yao’s palm.
"I’ve been careless, and I didn’t even notice!" Mr. Ge thought with a thud, his face ashen.
The substantial reaction was because he understood what it ant if the Star Evil successfully parasitized Dai Yao.
It wasn’t Mr. Ge’s lack of experience.
Precisely because he was too experienced.
He would never have anticipated that a Star Evil with Qi Cultivation Third Layer, in his words, could manage to parasitize Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer Dai Yao.
It shouldn’t be able to do that.
But the evidence was before him, leaving him no choice but to believe.
On the other side, having severed Dai Yao’s hand with one strike, Liou Yuan didn’t halt.
He thrust the giant sword, aiming at the black threads wrapping Dai Yao’s body, to help him escape.
"Without Dai Yao, we can’t stop this Star Evil."
Yet as his sword edge was about to slash the threads.
Whoosh! Dai Yao’s hand, already severed by Liou Yuan and flying toward the ground, actually shifted direction mid-air, attacking Liou Yuan.
"Damn, this is truly cursed!" Liou Yuan swore, today he finally witnessed what a true Star Evil was like.
Without stellar restraint, this Star Evil was frighteningly peculiar.
But at this point, Liou Yuan couldn’t really abandon Dai Yao and run.
Not to ntion whether he could escape, he wouldn’t get far anyway.
Dai Yao has been possessed and is going to die.
"I’ll risk it all!" Liou Yuan gritted his teeth, imdiately abandoning the giant sword in his hand, throwing it aside.
Because he knew that his own abilities couldn’t pose any threat to the Star Evil, even with the blessing of the Yunwu Prefecture.
He might as well pin all his hopes on the Lion’s Roar Spell he had just obtained.
Hoo! A breath was inhaled into Liou Yuan’s lungs.
His chest swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Simultaneously, the spiritual power within him was channeled entirely to his lungs.
At this mont, Dai Yao’s palm was less than three feet from Liou Yuan, almost about to touch his face in the next instant.
The reflection of that palm appeared in Liou Yuan’s eyes.
"It’s over!" At this mont, not only did Mr. Ge feel despair.
Even Dai Yao’s eyes showed bitterness.
At the critical mont.
"Roar!" A roar resembling the sound of a lion’s growl erupted in the courtyard, shaking all around.
As the sound spread, the nearby Dai Yao and Mr. Ge felt their heads go numb, as if struck by a heavy hamr.
Not only them, but the more than twenty constables led by Mr. Xin outside the Xuanhu Clinic also heard it.
Except for Mr. Xin, the remaining twenty people all clutched their heads and howled, feeling as if their heads would explode.
And the source of the sound was Liou Yuan.
At this mont, he looked in front of him.
Like water waves, a ripple oscillated out from his mouth.
Not only did it stun the two cultivators present.
Even the hand of Dai Yao, who was possessed by the Star Evil, seed frozen in ti three feet in front of Liou Yuan.
The Lion’s Roar Spell was indeed extraordinary, worthy of being a middle-grade Ding-class magic.
Liou Yuan, using it at the Qi Cultivation First Layer, was able to block the Star Evil, which fought evenly with Dai Yao.
Of course, it was only temporarily resisting the Star Evil and couldn’t cause any harm to it.
But Liou Yuan didn’t intend to confront the Star Evil head-on.
His eyes turned when he cast the Lion’s Roar Spell, nervously looking at Dai Yao beside him.
Soon, the tension in his eyes turned to relief.
Under the sonic vibrations of his Lion’s Roar Spell,
the black threads spread across Dai Yao’s body snapped one by one.
"Success!"
This was Liou Yuan’s intention all along.
Temporarily blocking the Star Evil with the Lion’s Roar Spell was one thing, but helping Dai Yao escape was another.
"I’ve done all I can. Now it’s up to you." Liou Yuan thought silently, stomping his foot and retreating rapidly.
The sound waves of the Lion’s Roar Spell also ceased at this ti.
The Star Evil’s hand was freed from the influence of the Lion’s Roar Spell.
At the sa ti, Dai Yao was freed from the Star Evil’s power.
"Die!" Dai Yao’s anger soared to the skies, as he launched a remaining palm toward the Star Evil.
Today, he almost failed, nearly becoming a vessel for the Star Evil, and even lost an arm.
The fury in his eyes was about to burn the Star Evil to ashes.
Bang! With one punch, Dai Yao smashed the Star Evil’s hand against the courtyard wall.
The force contained within it shattered the wall directly.
"Catch the sword!" On the other side, Liou Yuan kicked and tossed the giant sword he had thrown on the ground toward Dai Yao.
Although it wasn’t Dai Yao’s weapon of choice, the giant sword still had magic added by Mr. Ge.
Dai Yao reached out his hand, catching the giant sword, and pursued the Star Evil hand buried under the wall.
Thud thud thud! The sword’s light flickered.
With just one strike, Dai Yao split his hand possessed by the Star Evil into two.
Clearly, after battling Dai Yao for so long, the Star Evil’s power was mostly depleted, already at its wits’ end.
It was very easily slain by Dai Yao.
Moreover, Dai Yao chopped the Star Evil material perating from the hand into pieces.
Liou Yuan witnessed with his own eyes the Star Evil’s main body dissipating into the air.
At the spot where the Star Evil’s main body disappeared, a starlight invisible to others drifted over and entered Liou Yuan’s body.
It was absorbed by the Fixed Star Compass within him.
Only then did Liou Yuan’s anxious heart settle down.
He had worried earlier that the Fixed Star Compass might not absorb the Star Evil’s energy if it wasn’t he who personally killed it, thus withholding the reward.
But now it seed, Liou Yuan had overthought it.
"As long as the Star Evil detected by the Fixed Star Compass is dead, it counts."
"It’s over!" Liou Yuan murmured, then withdrew the blessing of Yunwu Prefecture.
This trip tonight, although there were unexpected events, the outco was good in the end.
At least for Liou Yuan, he had suffered no loss.
On the contrary, because he killed the Star Evil, the reward given by the Fixed Star Compass, a Cyan Wood Talisman, had already ford within his body, ready to be drawn out at any ti.
