Chizu, propping up his body that was about to fall, stared intently at the Black Soul opposite. From disdain to admiration, this Black Soul must have been a respected powerhouse in life!
Each strike from the Black Soul carried the killing intent of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as if one could hear the roars of thousands of troops! It was the momentum of a single man defending a crucial pass, leading the charge, and fighting through countless enemies on the battlefield. Behind him were the people and families he needed to protect! He could only charge forward. Killing enemies on the front lines to protect the nation. Therefore, a trace of golden merit energy emanated from him. That was the merit for protecting the common people!
Chizu was a demon beast, and this golden light of merit naturally suppressed him. All his attacks were restrained, and every move, every stance was predicted by the Black Soul. This was an exceptionally intelligent soldier, reflecting the glory of his command of the three armies in life! Chizu's heart was now burning with anger. Who disturbed the peace of this warrior, allowing his soul to be refined into a puppet after death!
He was a demon beast, and at this moment, he only felt respect for the Black Soul, not killing intent. Even though his moves were predicted, he held back some of his power, not striking with full force! He knew that if he transformed into his true form, his power would increase by at least half, but he did not do so!
Suddenly, the Black Soul flew past him and away from this place. Did Chizu guess something? He would not let the Black Soul return to the hands of the one controlling him. He pleaded with Master Ju Yin and Lord Bai to save this Black Soul!
Indeed, a quarter of an hour later, the Black Soul suddenly stood still, just floating in the air! Chizu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief. The one controlling the Black Soul must have been dealt with by Master Ju Yin.
Chizu spat out silk threads and wrapped them around the Black Soul, dragging him back to the Purple Bamboo Boat.
"Chizu, you're injured? What did you pick up?" Long Shushu stood on the deck of the flying boat, observing the battle between Brother Wu Ye and Kong Lao San. Seeing the injured Chizu dragging a white cocoon, she asked curiously!
"Lord Bai, this is the Black Soul puppet that blocked our way." Chizu collapsed on the deck. It was not the time to save the Black Soul! It would not be too late after eliminating the enemy!
Although Long Shushu was puzzled, seeing that Chizu was fine, she threw him a bottle of healing pills and stopped paying attention to him. She had intended to go down and help Brother Wu Ye, but Brother Wu Ye pushed her onto the boat. She knew what he meant and remained an observer!
Kong Lao San, upon hearing Yin Qi's scream, felt a desire to retreat. This man in green possessed profound cultivation. If he hadn't had the tracking spiritual artifact as a shield, he would have long since died by the green-clothed man's sword.
Kong Lao Er was heavily injured. Kong Lao Da simply provided him with rudimentary treatment. Seeing that Lao San could only defend and was clearly losing, he made a decisive move.
"Lao San, leave quickly!" With that, he carried Lao Er on his back and fled at full speed.
"You think you can come and go as you please? Do you take us for dirt?" Ji Wu Ye's long sword whistled like a crimson rainbow, and he mercilessly slashed at Kong Lao San, who had turned to flee. Kong Lao Shan dodged this sword strike with his spear, barely escaping, but the powerful sword energy shattered his golden spear. This was his natal magical treasure. With the damage to his treasure, the owner suffered a backlash. Kong Lao San's chest felt a surge of sweetness, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. His figure froze for half a breath... His eyes fixed on the extremely beautiful woman observing him from the flying boat. He felt immense regret. Was this what "one glance that lasts a thousand years" felt like? If he could start over, he would never have tried to harm her during her tribulation!
Ji Wu Ye had always known the principle of striking while the iron is hot. He moved like lightning, closing the distance, and with a 'pu chi' sound, his long sword pierced through Kong Lao San's chest.
He seized the fleeing primordial spirit and held it in his palm, crushing it into dust! Anyone who dared to target Xiao Bai would meet this fate!
Kong Lao San's final scream of his primordial spirit reached Kong Lao Da's ears, and Kong Lao Da cried out in grief: Lao San!
Ju Yin did not hesitate. He slowly raised the Heaven-Supporting Sword. An incredibly powerful sword energy tore through the sky, splitting Kong Lao Da, who had already flown several miles away carrying Kong Lao Er, into two. Even his primordial spirit was vaporized by the sword energy. The Kong Gu brothers were no more!
Ji Wu Ye picked up the tracking spiritual artifact that had fallen from Kong Lao San. He saw the red dot on the compass-like interface and instantly understood how their group's whereabouts had been exposed. It seemed to be a spiritual artifact capable of locking onto locations. It could also provide defense. It was just a few moments ago that it was not for this artifact's defensive shield that he would have already killed this person. Fortunately, he had advanced. Without it, he might not have been able to defeat this person.
Xiao Bai flew down from the flying boat, "Brother Wu Ye, what is this?" she asked curiously, looking at the spiritual artifact in Ji Wu Ye's hand.
"Shushu, we'll talk on the boat." Ji Wu Ye put his arm around Long Shushu's waist and flew back onto the boat. Although his face appeared calm, his red ears betrayed him. The moment he embraced Long Shushu, he felt a difference from before. The young girl had truly grown up. However, every part of Shushu's body was imprinted on his heart. He stroked her hair affectionately, his gaze passionate.
Ju Yin, upon arriving, was immediately struck by this scene, forced to witness a public display of affection! kuAiδugg
"Ahem, you two should consider us single dogs!" Ju Yin, seeing their gazes intertwined and their faces drawing closer, had no choice but to interrupt!
Startled by Ju Yin's sudden voice, the two quickly separated.
Xiao Bai walked shyly to Ju Yin's side, her mind still replaying whether Brother Wu Ye had intended to kiss her just now. In the past, she had secretly watched the Immortal Meng Ze kiss her beloved. Oh, it was all Sister's fault. If it had been a moment later, Brother Wu Ye would have definitely kissed her. What a shame!
"Sister, you're annoying!" she said, turning and flying to sit on the top of the boat.
Ju Yin watched Xiao Bai with amusement. Did this bratty Xiao Bai blame me for interrupting her good deed?
"Brother, there are still people in this boat." Ju Yin waved his hand, revealing the figures of Chao Yangzi and the others who were in deep meditation. To be safe while fending off the enemy, she had asked Yu Shou to set up a barrier. It isolated them from external sounds and ensured their safety!
Ji Wu Ye cleared his throat awkwardly. He had momentarily lost himself and forgotten!
Chizu was also meditating in a corner. His injuries had mostly healed after taking the pills. Upon waking and seeing Ju Yin,
"Master, Chizu requests that you save this Black Soul," Chizu pointed to the puppet wrapped in a white cocoon beside him.
"Save him? Why?" Ju Yin was puzzled.
"Yes, what's wrong with him?" Xiao Bai, hearing Chizu's movement, also flew down and leaned against Ji Wu Ye. She had been very curious just now.
"Master, you'll know if you examine his divine soul and memories. He should be a general who commanded the three armies on an ancient battlefield. After death, his divine soul did not perish but was captured and made into a puppet." Chizu's tone was heavy with sorrow. Such a powerful individual should not be insulted or exploited!
"Is that so?" Ji Wu Ye also became interested.
"Open the cocoon and let's take a look!" Ju Yin hadn't expected that the Demon Eradication Curse would miss a puppet. What was going on? Did Hua Xun's Demon Eradication Curse selectively target enemies? Did it discern loyalty and treachery?
