Suddenly, An Li unleashed the gathered abilities in her hand towards Ming Li.
Just as the abilities were about to strike Ming Li, Ming Li silently hefted her hammer and brought it down.
With a resounding bang, the absurdly powerful abilities were effortlessly scattered by Ming Li's single strike.
Seeing this, An Li's reddened eyes narrowed. She continued to gather abilities in her hands and hurl them at Ming Li.
Ming Li accepted every attack, dispelling each ability with a swing of her hammer. An Li, witnessing this, was driven to the brink of collapse.
Suddenly.
An Li's fingernails grew at a visible rate, and her teeth elongated by more than ten centimeters.
Glancing at her fingertips, An Li lunged at Ming Li with incredible speed, intending to tear apart the fragrant-smelling zombie before her with the simplest, most brutal method.
However, the moment she pounced, Ming Li sent her flying with a hammer strike. She crashed to the ground, creating a crater more than ten meters deep.
Before An Li could recover, Ming Li leaped up with her massive iron hammer and struck An Li again, followed by another, and another, and another.
The system within the space watched this scene with bated breath, terrified that An Li might be seriously injured.
After more than a dozen strikes from Ming Li, a black object was violently expelled from An Li's body with the final blow.
An Li fainted.
Ming Li, looking at the black entity that had separated from An Li's body, frowned slightly, finding it strangely familiar.
The black thing, seeing Ming Li staring at it, panicked instantly and turned to conceal itself in the darkness.
Ming Li, of course, would not let it escape. She suddenly remembered.
This thing seemed to be similar to the soul-controlling蛊 (gu) that Yi cultivated.
It was short, entirely black, not a spirit, but merely a shadow, ethereal and elusive. It could enter a person's body without them noticing, then control their thoughts and make them its servants.
Although this thing possessed no combat power, once it controlled a person, their combat strength would skyrocket, becoming several times their original power.
Furthermore, once this thing merged with the darkness, it would become utterly untraceable, even the King of Heaven himself couldn't find it.
Thinking this.
Ming Li narrowed her beautiful eyes and raised her hand, releasing her Netherworld Fire, which instantly enveloped the entity attempting to hide in the shadows.
The small black creature, surrounded by the Netherworld Fire, dared not move and trembled under its embrace.
Ming Li walked forward, finally seeing the true form of this entity.
It was completely black, palm-sized, and somewhat resembled a jellyfish. This was definitely the thing Yi cultivated.
Hmph! Very good! To think that scoundrel forgot his pain even with his scars still fresh, daring to meddle with her mission target. Did he think she truly wouldn't do anything to him?!
She heard that Yi cared most about this thing he cultivated.
Thinking this.
Ming Li's gaze darkened, and she waved her hand gently.
Receiving the command, the Netherworld Fire instantly converged and devoured the pitch-black entity.
In a magnificent palace,
Yi, whose connection to his soul-devouring entity was suddenly severed, roared in rage. "Damn it! Ming Li, you bitch! How dare you kill my treasure! I will never forgive you! Guards! Guards! Speed up the search for Ming Li! I want to kill her!"
Because of his forceful movements, Yi accidentally tugged at his wound, causing his face to turn pale instantly. Blood seeped through his clothes again, soaking a large portion of his hem.
