Not long after, the Evil God's soul and the soul fragments of Ming Li were stripped from the Demon Lord's body.
"No! Don't! You can't do this!"
The Evil God watched his soul being peeled away, utterly powerless, his eyes brimming with resentment!
After the two souls were separated, the Demon Lord's body slumped to the ground.
Seeing this, Ming Li casually cast a barrier around him.
In the air.
Seizing Ming Li's distraction, the Evil God's eyes darkened. He mobilized his remaining power, intending to drag Ming Li's soul fragments down with him in a mutual destruction. But he was discovered the next moment.
"Hahahahaha! Even if I die, I'll take her with me!"
"Heh... Are you worthy?"
As the words fell, a strange power enveloped the Evil God, successfully neutralizing his power.
Witnessing this, Ming Li took out her silver sword. Her eyes flashed with killing intent as she looked at the black threads connecting the two souls. In the next instant, Ming Li swung her sword towards the threads.
Seeing this, the Evil God laughed even louder, "Hahahaha! Useless! This is our clan's Soul-Locking Chain! No divine artifact can cut it! Don't waste your effort..."
"How is that possible!"
Staring at the severed and vanished Soul-Locking Chain, the Evil God's eyes widened in disbelief!
With the disappearance of the Soul-Locking Chain, the soul fragments drifted towards Ming Li...
Looking at the soul fragments before her, Ming Li frowned. She raised her hand and placed it on the fragments' forehead, purifying them thoroughly.
After the purification, Ming Li withdrew her hand. The next moment, the soul fragments opened their eyes. After a brief daze, they moved closer to Ming Li, pressing their foreheads against hers. Then, the soul fragments vanished.
With the fragments returned to her, Ming Li narrowed her eyes. She turned her head and looked at the Evil God expressionlessly. "Your turn..."
The Evil God, now filled with terror, stared at Ming Li, frantically beating against the cage that trapped him. "No! You can't kill me! I am a generation's Evil God!"
Ming Li slowly raised her hand. "Then, Evil God... Die!"
As her voice fell, the cage confining the Evil God instantly transformed into a malevolent force, surging into his soul.
"Ah! No! No! You cannot kill..."
"Boom—"
With a deafening blast, the Evil God was reduced to dust.
Seeing this, Ming Li hurled a ball of black fire. The Evil God was annihilated, leaving not even a speck of dust behind...
The Heavenly Emperor and the Earth God, witnessing this scene from not far away, simultaneously spat out their melon seeds and exclaimed in unison, "Amazing!"
Ming Li, "......" (￣_,￣)
Ming Li turned around unhurriedly, facing the two. Her voice, laced with danger, asked, "Was it entertaining?"
Upon hearing this, both swallowed hard and shook their heads vehemently.
Seeing this, Ming Li walked towards them.
The Heavenly Way, watching from a distance, was sweating for them.
As Ming Li drew nearer, sword in hand, the Heavenly Way gritted its teeth and unleashed a bolt of lightning.
"Boom—"
The sudden thunderclap in the sky successfully halted Ming Li's advance.
As if sensing something, Ming Li paused, an expression of exasperation on her face. She spoke faintly, "I wasn't going to kill them, so why are you so nervous?"
The Heavenly Way, "......"
Hearing Ming Li's words, the Heavenly Way breathed a sigh of relief, wiping away nonexistent sweat from its brow.
Ming Li completely ignored the two and walked past them.
"That direction... the Demon Palace?!"
The Heavenly Emperor and the Earth God exchanged a glance, then... followed.
Halfway there, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly stopped. He turned to the Earth God and pointed at a man not far away. "You, bring him along."
Upon hearing this, the Earth God hurried over, hoisted the Demon Lord onto his shoulder, and then trudgingly followed the Heavenly Emperor towards the Demon Palace...
