The short spear, shimring with Thunderlight, shot towards the sixth Xue i.
"Ji Yin, I betrayed you back then. I am in your debt. But don’t you truly desire Divine Transformation? Don’t you want the Fallen Immortal Blood?" the Xue i pleaded urgently.
She had assud that upon hearing about the Fallen Immortal Blood, Song Wen would hesitate, even if he didn’t stop entirely.
However, Song Wen remained completely unmoved.
As the short spear drew closer, Xue i didn’t repeat the mistake of the previous five Illusion Clones, allowing it to strike her. Instead, she activated a Minor Teleportation Talisman.
But she was only teleported a hundred li before her form reappeared.
She had collided with the blood-colored barrier.
Instantly, several blood-colored tentacles shot out from the barrier, coiling around her.
With a thought, Xue i summoned the Black Water of Destruction.
The Black Water flowed freely, transforming into a black spear.
Just as she was about to unleash the spear to shred the encroaching tentacles, she saw more blood-colored tentacles continuously erging from the barrier. Over a hundred had already appeared.
Though the black spear could corrode the tentacles, it was only one weapon and couldn’t possibly block so many simultaneously.
Xue i had no choice but to switch from offense to defense. She transford the black spear into a black shield, completely encasing herself within it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Blood-colored tentacles slamd repeatedly against the black shield.
The mont a tentacle touched the shield, it would be corroded by the shield’s corrosive power, turning into a Blood Mist.
But there were simply too many tentacles, an endless stream of them.
Under the relentless barrage, Xue i was sent flying backward, shield and all.
After being knocked back dozens of miles, Xue i was horrified to discover that tentacles were now sweeping in from behind and above as well.
At so point, Song Wen had begun to constrict the blood-colored barrier, compressing Xue i’s range of movent.
"Ji Yin! Do you truly not want the Fallen Immortal Blood?" Xue i cried out in panic.
Song Wen stood in mid-air less than a mile away, a look of amusent on his face.
"Then tell , where exactly is this Fallen Immortal Blood?"
Seeing that Song Wen had finally responded, Xue i hastily replied, "In...
...in the Hehuan Sect."
"I... I think it’s in the He Huan Sect."
"Hmph! Utter nonsense! Xue i, you have no idea where the Fallen Immortal Blood is! You don’t even know what it truly is! Your petty tricks might fool Gui Ni and Yang Yu, but they won’t work on ."
Song Wen ford a magic seal with his hands, and the short spear shot out again, dodging the omnipresent Blood-colored Tentacles and piercing towards Xue i.
Xue i’s expression grew increasingly frantic. Blood-colored Tentacles surrounded her on all sides, leaving no space even to activate a Minor Teleportation Talisman.
"Ji Yin, I’m not lying! The Fallen Immortal Blood should be in a secret realm under the He Huan Sect!"
Boom!
The short spear struck the black shield.
Dazzling Thunderlight erupted, completely engulfing the shield.
The imnse impact sent the black shield crashing to the ground.
The shield remained perfectly intact. However, within it, Xue i’s desperate, bloodcurdling scream echoed, as if lightning had penetrated its defenses.
"Aaaah!"
The Black Water of Destruction suddenly recoiled, rging back into Xue i’s body.
Xue i reappeared, her entire body charred black.
Her appearance was utterly horrifying. Not a single piece of flesh remained intact on her body, split open by grotesque wounds that revealed twisted flesh and ghastly white bone.
She raised her eyes, pleadingly gazing at Song Wen.
But Song Wen had already approached her, looming over her with a cold, superior air.
Above Song Wen’s head hovered a green Bronze Ring. The ring materialized a Phantom Shadow that descended upon Xue i’s head.
The Bronze Ring Phantom Shadow settled around Xue i’s chest.
Instantly, a powerful binding force surged through her, completely sealing her Spiritual Power. She couldn’t even retrieve a Minor Teleportation Talisman from her Storage Ring.
"Ji Yin, are you truly not tempted at all by the Fallen Immortal Blood?" Xue i refused to accept her impending demise, still attempting to persuade Song Wen.
Song Wen replied, "Of course I desire the Fallen Immortal Blood, but I don’t need you to tell what to do."
Xue i said, "Besides , no one else in this world knows the location of the Fallen Immortal Blood."
A mocking smile curled Song Wen’s lips, as if he were ridiculing Xue i’s ignorance and arrogance.
"Xue i, you overestimate yourself!"
With that, Song Wen stopped wasting words. He curled his right hand into a claw and lunged toward Xue i’s face.
Watching the approaching claws, Xue i’s eyes filled with terror.
"Ji Yin, what do you want? Please spare ! I swear I’ll help you find the Fallen Immortal Blood."
Song Wen’s five fingers pierced into Xue i’s skull, crushing it instantly.
Then, a powerful suction force enveloped her, pulling her soul into Song Wen’s Sea of Consciousness.
As she wondered why Song Wen had done this, she saw the Black Hole looming above the Sea of Consciousness.
It pressed down like a mountain, pinning her in place.
Then she noticed she wasn’t the only one trapped beneath the Black Hole.
"You’re... Xu Geng?" Xue i asked uncertainly, staring at the figure.
"You’re..." Xu Geng’s expression turned thoughtful. After a mont, he exclaid in surprise, "You’re Xue i of the Blood Cloud Cave!"
"Hahaha..."
Xue i suddenly burst into laughter.
"Fate truly brings us together in the strangest ways! Xu Geng, I never thought we’d et again. The Vice Sect Leader of the Divine Blood Gate reduced to a prisoner!"
Xu Geng retorted angrily, "Xue i, you’re no better. You’re just at on the chopping block."
Xue i said, "To see you, Xu Geng, in such a miserable state... even if my soul is scattered, I’ll die without regret."
Just then, Song Wen’s figure suddenly materialized.
"Can those who cultivate the Corpse King Rebirth Art devour the cultivation of others who practice the sa technique?" Song Wen’s voice was chilling, radiating an undeniable aura of dominance.
"Ji Yin, why should I answer your question? Unless you agree to a condition," Xue i said.
A cold smile played on Song Wen’s lips.
"Xue i, it seems you still don’t understand your current situation or my thods."
As he spoke, a transparent blade materialized.
Xue i’s face paled with fear. She quickly explained, "I’m not asking you to spare . I’m just begging you to kill Xu Geng before you obliterate my soul."
"You’re not worthy of negotiating with ," Song Wen said.
The mont his words fell, the transparent blade plunged into Xue i’s soul.
"Aaaah!"
Xue i’s scream pierced the air, and her Soul Body flickered, becoming even more ethereal.
Song Wen turned to Xu Geng and continued, "Xu Geng, if you don’t want your Primordial Spirit to suffer the agony of slow slicing, I advise you to answer truthfully."
Xu Geng’s Soul Body had already transford into a Primordial Spirit, far more stable than an ordinary soul. However, this also ant he could endure far more torture.
The Focused Spirit Stabs Song Wen unleashed were like a child’s knife trying to carve flesh from a grown man. They couldn’t fundantally harm Xu Geng’s Primordial Spirit, but they inflicted excruciating pain.
With each successive Focused Spirit Stab, it was like the agonizing process of slow slicing—one slice after another, tearing away at his flesh.
