The disheveled hair of Tian Nanxing covered half of his face, and facing the resentful gaze of Blood Orchid, a cruel smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
"I am of the Demon Clan, to , she is rely a ’Companion Beast’ that I sowhat fancy. Throughout my life, I’ve swapped countless Companion Beasts. Threatening with her? How naïve you are."
"Tian Nanxing, you!" Blood Orchid was furious.
Tian Nanxing’s eyes were indifferent, "To us Grass and Wood Demon Clan, only the strong can remain by one’s side. Didn’t you already know, I have no heart?"
Lii Jiuchuan’s gaze flitted between the two, calculating sothing in his mind.
Blood Orchid sneered, "So all along, you’ve only been toying with ?"
Tian Nanxing arched an eyebrow, "I rely wanted to understand how human love can drive one to madness, willing to sacrifice themselves. Watching your self-satisfaction was entertaining for ."
The Ghost Tide raged, and the Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array pressed down from above, Tian Nanxing’s expression shifted slightly as he scanned his surroundings.
Blood Orchid began to tremble, her body flashing with bloody light, and her gaze was as fierce as if she wanted to devour soone.
"Playing with a mouse every day, but today, the mouse bit you back."
She burst into hysterical laughter, "Hahaha, Tian Nanxing, do you think you can live after betraying ?!"
As soon as the words fell, both Tian Nanxing and Blood Orchid were suddenly covered in blossoming, unusual blood-red orchids. It was Blood Orchid’s unique secret technique, the Orchid Curse. Whoever betrayed her would be entirely drained of life by her.
"Hahaha, just die for !"
Blood Orchid laughed maniacally, and while Tian Nanxing’s life force rapidly weakened, he was unafraid, even slowly curling his lips into a smile.
Suddenly, the blood-red hue on Tian Nanxing’s body quickly faded, returning to its pure white state.
Instead, the flowers on Blood Orchid’s body began to wither and turn black.
Blood Orchid looked at Tian Nanxing in disbelief, "What have you done to ?!"
Blood Orchid had cursed Tian Nanxing, and in turn, Tian Nanxing had poisoned Blood Orchid.
Mutual ’love’ and destruction!
Tian Nanxing glanced at Lii Jiuchuan and suddenly attacked Blood Orchid.
Lii Jiuchuan’s expression hardened, and he raised a hand to block Tian Nanxing’s attack. Tian Nanxing’s eyes glimred, realizing that Lii Jiuchuan wanted to protect Miaoyin.
"If you still want to save Miaoyin, now is the best opportunity!"
As the words fell, Tian Nanxing’s speed instantly soared to the limit, darting past Lii Jiuchuan to make his escape.
Lii Jiuchuan glanced at Blood Orchid, whose blood-red light was disintegrating like ashes, her expression shifting between viciousness and pain.
"Tian Nanxing, I’ll kill you!"
"Don’t mind , go kill him!"
The voices of Blood Orchid and Miaoyin alternated continuously. Lii Jiuchuan hesitated for a mont, then decided to first help Miaoyin suppress Blood Orchid.
Under the blood-sea sky was Jiang Yuebai’s Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array. With Tian Nanxing severely injured, Lii Jiuchuan trusted that his apprentice could surely stop him.
Lii Jiuchuan drew several golden runes in the air, which consecutively entered Blood Orchid’s brow. Her aura grew weaker as Miaoyin regained control of her body.
But no matter what thods Lii Jiuchuan used, Blood Orchid still clung tightly to Miaoyin’s soul, unable to be separated. He could only temporarily seal it within Miaoyin.
The Ghost Clan originated from the Demon Clan, born from the Muddy Qi of heaven and earth. As long as the world exists, the Muddy Qi remains, making the Demon Clan fundantally indestructible.
While it’s said that the Demons in the Earth Spiritual Realm were annihilated, in truth, they were rely expelled, still existing on the fringes of the Upper Realm.
The Ghost Clan, being a subspecies of the Demon Clan, isn’t truly indestructible, but exterminating them completely is no easy task.
"Why did you save ?" Miaoyin wept, looking towards the bloody sea in the distance where swords rained in the battle involving Ling Guanghan, her gaze filled with deep sorrow, unsure of how to face him.
Lii Jiuchuan released the restraints on Miaoyin, "Brother Guanghan spared your life; your fate should be decided by him."
Previously, Blood Orchid attempted to flee, and though he had acted, it was Ling Guanghan who ultimately captured her.
When Ling Guanghan saw Blood Orchid’s face, identical to Miaoyin’s, he couldn’t bring himself to cut her down.
Through Blood Orchid’s mories, they discovered that years ago, when Miaoyin self-destructed, her soul entwined with Blood Orchid’s. Miaoyin survived due to Blood Orchid’s obsession, forgetting much and living in a daze, unknowingly allowing Blood Orchid to return.
Miaoyin had attempted to end her life multiple tis, each thwarted by Blood Orchid, fighting for control of their shared body for over three centuries without resolution.
Years ago, when Qing Nangzi visited the Asura Domain, Miaoyin was suppressed for so ti by Qing Nangzi. It wasn’t until Qing Nangzi left that Miaoyin regained control when Blood Orchid was unprepared.
Whenever they encountered Lu Nanzhi, Blood Orchid made several attempts to harm her, but Miaoyin consistently opposed her.
This ti, Miaoyin hurriedly brought Jiang Yuebai and the group to Blood Sea City to save people, intending to rescue them before Blood Orchid could notice. Unfortunately, she was captured and suppressed by Tian Nanxing, allowing Blood Orchid to reclaim the body once again.
Above, the Four Symbols Illusion fiercely contended with the Blood Sea sky curtain, intense fluctuations coming from Tian Nanxing’s departing direction. Lii Jiuchuan glanced at Miaoyin and imdiately went to provide support.
At that mont.
Jiang Yuebai channeled all the spiritual energy in her body into the Eight Arrays Plate above her head, maintaining the stability of the Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array, as the ghost tide surged from all directions, overwhelming and forceful.
Evil Ghosts and Evil Corpses below the Golden Core Stage were reduced to ashes at the edge of the Great Array; only Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators at the Golden Core Stage and above could struggle to resist.
A howling gale, the incessant wails of ghosts.
Shen Huaxi stood outside the array, surrounded by layers of Blood Shadows, facing increasingly more and stronger ghost tides, he unhesitatingly summoned the Ghost Clan’s treasured ’Blood Demon Pearl’.
The scarlet pearl hovered mid-air like a demonic eye. Within a hundred-foot radius around the Blood Demon Pearl, any Evil Ghost or Evil Corpse that entered instantly dissolved into blood water, absorbed by the Blood Demon Pearl.
Lu Nanzhi fought bloodily in another direction outside the Great Array, demonic qi boiling, the Ice Soul Sword violently pierced the ground, and ice pillars covered with spikes rose up, forming an ice spike forest in an instant, extinguishing the ghost tide.
Woof!
The giant dog Huo Dou, engulfed in Golden Crow Fire, descended from the sky, roaring through the ghost tide, Xie Jingshan shouted fiercely, sweeping the land ahead with his sword, annihilating thousands of Evil Ghosts and Evil Corpses.
Another wave of ghost tide was cleared by the four working together. They looked up towards the sky above the Blood Sea, noticing that the Blood Skull seed to grow stronger, while Ling Guanghan and Cang Huo, running out of strength, found themselves gradually falling into a disadvantage.
Shen Huaxi gasped and said, "The ghost tide is transmitting Yin Evil Qi to the Blood Sea Ancestor; this battle cannot be prolonged, or once the Blood Sea Ancestor returns to peak strength, we’re all dead!"
Jiang Yuebai could naturally see the severity of the issue, but as long as the Blood Sea Ancestor wasn’t destroyed, the Blood Sea sky curtain couldn’t be broken from within, and none of them could escape.
Xie Jingshan gripped the Huo Dou Sword in so self-reproach, gazing at everyone with knitted brows.
At this mont, a Tunneling Light swiftly approached, obviously Tian Nanxing.
"Low-Class Orchid!"
Xie Jingshan drew his sword to confront it, Tian Nanxing exploded in a large spray of pollen, avoiding Xie Jingshan and landing in the distance.
"Kill , and you’ll die too, Young Master Xie!"
Tian Nanxing’s voice ca through, startling the four into raising their eyes.
"What do you an by this?" Shen Huaxi questioned, a terribly ominous feeling in his heart.
Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan returned to Jiang Yuebai’s side, fearing Tian Nanxing might attack Jiang Yuebai again.
Tian Nanxing glanced behind him, seeing Lii Jiuchuan not yet catching up, he quickly said, "I admitted defeat today, and now I just want to escape without tangling with you. I have already bound my life soul with Xie Jingshan’s; if I die, he dies, if I live, he lives!"
As soon as he finished, Xie Jingshan was stunned, Shen Huaxi and Lu Nanzhi clenched their fists simultaneously, seething with rage.
Jiang Yuebai was the first to respond and shouted, "You’re trying to deceive , you ford a Life and Death Contract with , which never took effect. I won’t believe you!"
Xie Jingshan also ca to his senses, "That’s right, you Low-Class Orchid bastard told yourself that you have the deceitful ability of a Deceitful Beast!"
Tian Nanxing sneered, raising his eyes and saying, "Don’t you have a tuft of the Deceitful Beast’s hair? Ignite it, and you’ll know if I’m telling the truth."
Upon hearing this, along with recalling the tis Tian Nanxing had spared Xie Jingshan before, Jiang Yuebai was already eighty percent convinced.
Still, she took out the Deceitful Beast’s hair and ignited it; amidst the curling smoke, Tian Nanxing repeated what he had said, and no illusion of a Deceitful Beast ford above his head.
He was telling the truth!
"Let leave, and he can survive unscathed!"
Xie Jingshan’s fist clenched tightly; if Tian Nanxing left like this, wouldn’t he be threatened for a lifeti?
"Ha~"
Suddenly, Xie Jingshan laughed aloud, confusing the three, who frowned and looked towards him.
Tian Nanxing frowned, bothered by Xie Jingshan’s laughter as if a cloud shrouded his mind.
Xie Jingshan looked up, a trace of determination crossing his eyes, and suddenly turned to pull Jiang Yuebai into his embrace, his large hand gripping the back of her head, fingers taut.
"Little girl, take a good look, I’ve been taller than you by half a head for a long ti now."
Jiang Yuebai’s mind went blank for a mont, only snapping back when a cool Jade Scroll fell into her hand, seeing Xie Jingshan giving her and the others a brilliant sunrise-like smile, he abruptly hit his forehead with his raised hand.
Decisive, resolute, without a trace of hesitation!
Xie Jingshan, proud all his life, would never be subjected to threats!
Bam!
"Xie Jingshan!!"
