Chapter 21: One Rejoices, Another Worries
The clear and bright sunlight enveloped forty meters, dispelling darkness and all evil and filth, including spiritual power of all attributes.
The Ninth Elder felt as if her body was being roasted on a fire, her spiritual power compressed within her, unable to be released. All skills that required the condensation of large amounts of spiritual power were impossible to cast.
She snorted coldly, rolled up the painting on the ground, and drifted away like black smoke.
Only forty or fifty meters, she could escape the domain of sunlight in a few breaths. Without the suppression of the Sun God's power, the painting could summon the projection of the Grand Elder.
At that time, if Yuan Shiqing insisted on killing her, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
Zhang Yuanqing's knees sank slightly, and amidst the cracking of the cement ground, he transformed into a golden rainbow, chasing after the Ninth Elder, keeping her constantly enveloped in the domain of the rising sun.
Then, he condensed the Sun God's power to form a large bow, his fingertips spitting golden light, and shot it out with a whoosh.
The moment the arrow was shot, Zhang Yuanqing made "the movement of objects in space" unreal, allowing the golden arrow to directly hit the beautiful woman's back.
The Ninth Elder screamed, and golden flames burst from her black smoke-like body, instantly engulfing it.
But the next second, the black smoke billowed up, like viscous sewage, extinguishing the golden flames. The beautiful woman's aura only declined slightly, and she was not injured.
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. With the domineering nature of the Sun God's power, being hit by an arrow without being able to use skills to resist should have injured even a Dominator of the same level.
The Ninth Elder did not slow down, gracefully running forward. She chuckled and said:
"Did you think that you could suppress all enemies by relying on the Sun God of War and the rising sun? Yuan Shiqing, you are too young. Every character who can become a Dominator is a genius. How can they be killed so easily? You have encountered too few Dominators."
She had obtained an ancient cultivator's manual called *Xin Mo Hua Ti Shen Gong* in an S-level dungeon in the Spirit Realm in her early years.
When this manual is cultivated to a high level, it can allow the body to remain in an energy state for a long time, ignoring physical attacks and greatly immunizing against energy-based attacks. As long as the spiritual power is not exhausted, one will never die.
This is equivalent to a passive skill that even the rising sun cannot restrict. Compared to powerful items, *Xin Mo Hua Ti Shen Gong* is the Ninth Elder's greatest reliance.
Zhang Yuanqing once again made the rule of "the movement of objects in space" unreal, arriving in front of the beautiful woman in a blink of an eye, raising his hands high, and clear and bright golden light spurted out, condensing into a broad sword.
The Ninth Elder immediately changed direction, breaking through to the left. As the Sun God of War, whose close combat strength ranks in the second echelon, if Zhang Yuanqing still let her escape at close range, he should find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
The golden broadsword slashed down fiercely.
The Ninth Elder was instantly split in half, turning into two wisps of black smoke that regrouped in the distance.
Her laughter was soft and ear-piercing, and she said:
"You are just a wet-nursed brat, you can't kill me. How about I stand still and let you chop me?"
Her voice was very pleasant, but Zhang Yuanqing's teeth itched inexplicably, and he uncontrollably felt angry, a bit over his head. This was the other party igniting his anger, trying to affect his emotions.
--Manipulating and arousing the target's emotions relies more on spiritual power.
Zhang Yuanqing sneered, "Old woman, you've lived for so long, but you're being chased by a brat who just became a Dominator. Why don't you find a piece of tofu and kill yourself?"
The beautiful woman was immediately furious, feeling that her personality and dignity had been insulted. She had to stop and fight to the death to regain her lost dignity.
As soon as the angry emotion arose, the Ninth Elder dispelled it, continuing to flee.
In the process, she constantly used words to stimulate Yuan Shiqing, mocking the members of the No Trace Hotel, mocking Master Wuhen, trying to arouse his anger and guide him to recklessly vent his power.
The rising sun and the Sun God of War consume a lot of spiritual power. Yuan Shiqing has just become a Night Wanderer and cannot last long.
Once he can't hold on, she will immediately summon the illusion of the Grand Elder. At that time, no matter how many companions he has, they will all have to die.
The Ninth Elder did not believe that Yuan Shiqing had a ninth-level Dominator teammate. Otherwise, it would not have been Yuan Shiqing who entered the dream world just now, but that ninth-level Dominator.
And she would have been instantly killed without any resistance.
Zhang Yuanqing seemed to be provoked, re-condensing a longbow and shooting a second and third arrow. The two sides chased and fled, and the Ninth Elder was constantly hit by arrows, but each time she could stir up black smoke to extinguish the golden flames.
The auras of both sides were rapidly declining.
Finally, the golden sun above Zhang Yuanqing's head slowly dimmed, and then disappeared. The Sun God of War state was also lifted. His Sun God's power was greatly consumed and was not enough to support the two major active skills.
At this time, the Ninth Elder's aura had weakened to the extreme, and she would not be able to maintain the "black smoke" state after a few more arrows.
She didn't care and shrieked, "Yuan Shiqing, you wait to die!"
Saying that, she opened her inventory, grabbed the painting again, and threw it out with all her might.
The painting unfolded in mid-air, and the spiritual patterns lit up one by one, and the light refracted in the sky, evolving into a myriad of phenomena.
The figure whose aura alone made people tremble was condensing again. Suddenly, there was a whistling sound in the night sky, and a black shadow came spinning rapidly.
It was a metal obelisk half a man's height, with mysterious and complex inscriptions engraved on the obelisk.
The metal obelisk suddenly hovered above the painting, and with a "buzz" sound, it spread out invisible ripples.
The spells on the painting were extinguished one after another, the myriad illusions in the sky disappeared, and the figure with the terrifying aura did not have time to descend before returning to nothingness again.
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yuanqing's mouth: "Finally here!"
The metal obelisk was a reward that Xiahou Aotian obtained by clearing the Killing Dungeon, called the "Forbidden Artifact Sky Stele", a Scholar's profession item. It can invalidate all items and formations within a certain range.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the beautiful woman whose face changed drastically and said:
"Playing with you for so long was just to consume your spiritual power. Otherwise, your smoke-like method would be really troublesome.
"I have found that you evil professions like to ignore Star Officials. Star Officials do not have powerful attack power, but when a Star Official is preparing to hunt you, you better not think about fighting back. Escape is the only correct choice."
Saying that, he took out the *Xing Shen Ju Mie Dao*.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman's pupils shrank sharply, and she used Dream Weaving without hesitation, and strange and bizarre dreams appeared in front of her.
She randomly chose one to jump into. Suddenly, the dream she chose was fragmented, and her body became translucent for a moment, and then returned to its original state because of the failure to enter the dream.
With Yuan Shiqing here, her chances of escaping through Dream Weaving were equal to zero.
Zhang Yuanqing held the short knife with a dark luster in his left hand, and his right hand was stained with a deep black luster. He made a grasping motion towards the smoke. His shoulders suddenly sank, and he failed to grab it out immediately.
The *Xing Shen Ju Mie Dao* is a level 7 quality item. It is not as invincible as it used to be when dealing with Dominators of the same level, especially illusionists.
The Ninth Elder resisted the soul-snatching power, frantically squeezing the spiritual power in her body, turning into a lithe mist dragon and rushing towards the distance.
"Bang!"
The fast-escaping black mist hit the wind wall and was bounced back.
Zhang Yuanqing finally grabbed the Ninth Elder's spiritual projection and killed it with one knife. The projection was immediately destroyed.
The Ninth Elder let out a shrill scream, and the voice contained a spiritual attack, causing Xiahou Aotian, Deng Jingguo and Sofia, who were blocking the four directions, to suffer severe headaches, and warm blood flowed from their nostrils.
The residents of the surrounding communities either had mental breakdowns, fell into unconsciousness, or died on the spot, and everyone's moral values plummeted.
Seizing the opportunity, the Ninth Elder opened her inventory and put on a black robe covered with twisted ghost faces.
Her body exploded, turning into terrifying ghosts, dense and overwhelming.
These ghosts did not try to attack the enemy, but scattered in all directions, frantically fleeing.
Dominator-level item -- Hundred Ghosts Thousand Faces Robe.
This item can be used to attack enemies with hundreds of ghosts, or it can be used to escape by hiding among the ghosts. It is the Ninth Elder's
"Rumble!"
Thunder rumbled in the night sky, and twisted, tree-like lightning crawled all over the sky, forming a thunder net that enveloped it. The fleeing wisps of thick smoke were like fish trapped in a net, frantically scurrying around, desperately trying to escape, but when they touched the thunder net, they turned into green smoke.
Lightning specializes in restraining evil spirits and wronged souls, second only to the power of the sun.
As the thunder net tightened, the ghosts in the sky disappeared one after another, and the figure of the Ninth Elder stood out in the lightning.
"Boom boom boom!"
Tree-like lightning struck the beautiful woman's crown one after another. The black smoke on her body tried its best to bulge up, trying to resist the lightning, but it only lasted two or three times before it was completely exhausted.
Her body stiffened in the lightning, and her pupils dissipated.
Whimpering, dense wind blades arrived in succession, slashing off the beautiful woman's head, limbs, and dismembering her into eight pieces. The remaining limbs and the robe covered with ghost faces fell together.
A figure as solid as a substance swept out from the corpse, rolled up the robe, fell rapidly, and rushed towards the residential building.
She wanted to create chaos and take the opportunity to escape.
How could Zhang Yuanqing let her get her wish? With a "snap" of his fingers, he blocked the Ninth Elder's path.
"Yuan Shiqing!" the beautiful woman shrieked, "Then let's die together."
Her primordial spirit "burned" fiercely, and her spiritual power crashed into Zhang Yuanqing like a tide.
Although Night Wanderers restrain spiritual bodies, the power erupted by a Dominator burning their primordial spirit is enough to severely injure a Sun Wanderer of the same level.
Zhang Yuanqing calmly opened his inventory and took out the Natal Spirit Moon and put it on his forehead. Instantly, vine-like patterns covered half of his face, and Yin energy surged out like thick smoke. His eye sockets were as black as ink, and his temperament became evil and noble, like a dark night monarch, a hell ruler.
He raised his hand, using the power of Taiyin as ink and the void as paper, and quickly drew nine spirit suppression talismans.
With a flick of his finger!
The nine talismans crashed into the Ninth Elder's body in order. Her aura weakened by one point each time she was hit by a talisman. When the nine talismans were all hit in the "tidal wave", the beautiful woman's primordial spirit had weakened to the point of being like green smoke, swaying, and could dissipate at any time.
Zhang Yuanqing sucked hard, and the power of Taiyin turned into a rolling vortex, sucking the Ninth Elder into his stomach.
A Dominator-level spiritual servant was in hand! He patted his stomach excitedly. If it were an ordinary Sun Wanderer, he could only choose to destroy both jade and stone and use the power of the sun to purify the other party.
But he was different. With the Natal Spirit Moon on, he was a Dominator who specialized in Taiyin, plus he learned the "drawing talismans" method from the memories of the Pure Yang Leader.
It was difficult for the Ninth Elder in the primordial spirit state to die.
On the other side, Xiahou Aotian took out a large loudspeaker from his inventory and pressed the switch.
The melodious singing came from the loudspeaker, flowing in the night. Among the surrounding residents, those who were in a coma fell asleep peacefully, those who had mental breakdowns regained their sanity, and those who had splitting headaches were no longer in pain.
Xiahou Aotian put the loudspeaker on the ground, and then raised his hand and made an OK gesture.
The next second, a hurricane rose from the ground under his feet, carrying him into the clouds.
Zhang Yuanqing and Deng Jingguo were also lifted up by a gust of wind, soaring upwards and quickly moving away.
Although the arrival of the Grand Elder of the Southern Faction was interrupted, his main body must have arrived. Continuing to stay here was a way to seek death.
As for the loudspeaker playing the princess's singing, it was a consumable made temporarily for this operation and was not valuable. Even if it was an item, the Refiner would not care.

With Sofia's assistance, the four members of the team flew hundreds of miles in one breath like supersonic fighter jets. Xiahou Aotian's hairline was blown back a few centimeters.
Sofia landed in the rural outskirts away from the city, looked at Zhang Yuanqing, and said:
"It's time to go to the second battlefield. In which city is your clone?"
At this time, she realized that Yuan Shiqing's expression was solemn.
"What's wrong?" Sofia frowned and asked.
"I can't sense the location of the clone," Zhang Yuanqing shook his head: "He may have been killed, or he may have been isolated."
"I'll call and ask." Xiahou Aotian took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the Devil Eye Heavenly King.
A dozen seconds later, he put down his phone and frowned: "No signal."
There was no signal on the Devil Eye Heavenly King's side.
Deng Jingguo analyzed: "They are in some kind of barrier and are isolated from the outside world."
Xiahou Aotian's expression sank, and he thought seriously for a moment, his expression suddenly changed:
"Not good!"
Mirror world.
As soon as Zhang Yuanqing finished speaking, he found that the Devil Eye was examining himself with a look of idiocy.
"What's wrong?" He asked doubtfully: "Is my analysis unreasonable?"
"No, it's reasonable, very reasonable. You may have really found Ling Tuo's weakness, but..." the Devil Eye Heavenly King grabbed Zhang Yuanqing and said angrily:
"What does this have to do with you tricking us over here? Since Ling Tuo has arranged so many people to guard the dream world, it means that he is sure to eat us. What gave you the illusion that 'we can fight'!"
Palace Master Zhisheng, Xiao Yuan and Ms. Jojo also looked at him solemnly.
Although their team had a demigod secretly taking care of them, the enemy must also have a demigod taking action to contain them. After offsetting each other, they still had to rely on the team to fight.
Don't look at the enemy's overall combat power seems to be weaker than their own, but since Ling Tuo has observed the team's actions and arranged personnel to respond, it means that he is sure to solve them.
Clone Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. After discovering that there was an enemy ambush in the dream world, he should have taken the initiative to go and end the mission, instead of moving out the teleportation platform to summon the Devil Eye and others.
"I, how did I make such a low-level mistake?" the clone said annoyed.
In the distance, the Third Elder, wearing a black robe and with a head of gray hair, smiled and said: "This is not your mistake, I stimulated your arrogance. Your mistake is that, as a newly promoted Dominator who is also an illusionist, how dare you break into my dream world?"
