Chapter 118: Chapter 118, Houtu Appears Bai Jin streaked across the sky, leaving a colorful ribbon behind, and in an instant arrived above Yan Li Great Witch, thrusting out with both hands curled, a four-colored spiral Divine Power burst forth. Yan Li Great Witch roared, "I am a Witch Clan Great Witch!!" A Fire Dragon rose up from his body and lunged forward. Boom~ The four-colored Divine Power engulfed the Fire Dragon and struck Yan Li Great Witch directly. Yan Li Great Witch screamed in agony as the four-colored Divine Power pushed him down towards the Primordial Land. Boom~ The ground trembled, the four-colored spiral Divine Power drove Yan Li Great Witch deep into the earth, unknown how many miles down. The surrounding mountains collapsed with a deafening rumble, the earth cracked open deep abysses, and streams of pitch-black Earth Fire erupted from the fissures, the land was destroyed, flames raged, as if it were the end of the world. All the humans in the forest were shaken so hard they fell to the ground, the children’s loud crying drowned in the tumult of Heaven and Earth. Boom~ not far from the area where the Human Clan was, a deep fissure cracked open, and towering Earth Fire surged out. All humans panicked, scrambling and crawling away trying to escape as the crack rapidly spread towards them. At this moment, the only thought in Bai Jin’s mind was severe pain, intense pain, to release it all, to let it all out as the earth’s disturbances grew more severe. Just as the humans were about to be swallowed by the fissure, all of them with eyes of despair, crying out against the injustice of Heaven - why decimate our Human Clan?! Thud~ a muffled noise suddenly resounded, the spreading fractures abruptly ceased, the roaring Earth Fire receded underground, and the fissure slowly closed. All humans, still in shock, sat on the ground gasping for breath while the children continued to cry loudly. A figure in yellow clothes slowly emerged from the dark mountains, each step upon the earth made a thudding sound, as if the heart of the earth was beating. The continuously crumbling ground suddenly halted, and the rampant core poison of the Earth Fire, like a docile rabbit, burrowed back underground, the ferocious scars on the land slowly healed, as if time were flowing backwards. Moments later, the land reverted to its normal state, in the pitch darkness of the night, only Bai Jin was suspended in mid-air, pushing a four-colored column of light onto the ground, forming an endless abyss. After a prolonged period, the column of light gradually shrunk and disappeared, and the light around Bai Jin also dimmed, crashing straight from the sky like a wing-broken swan. Lady Earth vanished in an instant, and the next moment appeared in mid-air, tenderly reaching out and grabbing Bai Jin by the back of the neck, gently flying down with him. Bai Jin looked up and said wryly, "Lady Earth, I’m already in such a miserable state, can you be a bit gentler, like carrying me down instead?" Lady Earth looked down at Bai Jin, a flash of guilt in her eyes, and said, "Sorry!" Bai Jin was stunned, then somberly said, "It’s not Lady Earth’s fault, even without the interference of the Witch Clan, the Human Clan couldn’t have escaped the Demon Clan’s slaughter." Lady Earth released Bai Jin onto the ground near the Human Clan. Upon being let go, Bai Jin immediately fell to the ground, his face flushing red, coughing several times as a trickle of fresh blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. From a distance, all the humans gathered, fearfully kneeling on the ground speechless, continuously bowing their heads, a mournful atmosphere echoing between Heaven and Earth. Bai Jin faintly said, "Head south, beyond two mountain ranges lies the boundary of Shouyang Mountain, once you enter Shouyang Mountain, you will be safe, hurry go!" The leading man, crying out, exclaimed, "Thank you, Holy Envoy! The Human Clan will forever remember the Holy Envoy’s grace." All humans helped each other rise and headed towards Shouyang Mountain. Just as the Human Clan vanished into the night, Bai Jin opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, bending over coughing repeatedly, "Lady Earth, I think I’ve been sneak attacked, I feel like I’m going to die." "Your physical body is too fragile." Lady Earth stretched out her hand, and a drop of crystal-clear blood like Blood Jade surfaced, saying, "Here, take this and keep it safe." "What is this?" "It’s the Essence Blood of the Ancestor Witch. I request you ask your Master to seal it within your body. You can slowly refine it to strengthen your physique. Remember not to merge it directly; otherwise, you will either explode and die or be transformed into a member of the Witch Clan." Is it that overbearing? Bai Jin felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Strengthening his physique without needing to cultivate? This is like a BUFF! He quickly got up, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Lady Earth!" Coughing~ his body shook and he fell back down. Lady Earth looked at Bai Jin and said, "Bai Jin, do you not hate me?" Bai Jin, sitting on the rock, shook his head and said, "No." "Why?" "Because I understand Lady Earth. You uphold the virtues of thick soil and have a heart of great compassion and kindness. Although I do not know what has happened, I know you must have tried your best." Bai Jin looked up at the night sky and heaved a deep sigh, saying, "Sometimes, we want everything to be perfect, but it’s not that simple. Some things, even if we try our best, we can’t achieve." Lady Earth looked at Bai Jin, a warmth flashing through her eyes and a warm current flowing through her heart. This child really trusts me so much. She reached out and stroked Bai Jin’s head, saying gently, "Heal well!" Bai Jin was startled, looking up at Lady Earth’s gaze. Was this a head-pat kill?! His heart suddenly filled with joy, feeling like he had achieved a great feat by successfully connecting with Lady Earth. ... In another direction, a group of people was fleeing in terror through the mountain range. In the dark forest, Demon Beasts occasionally leaped out, snatching away a Human Clan member into the mountains. "Ah~" "Help~" ... Screams continued to echo throughout the neighboring woods. All of the Human Clan members did not look back, holding only one belief in their hearts: flee, flee quickly, escape, even though they did not know where to flee to. Above in the clouds, a Demon God stood, watching the fleeing Human Clan with interest, joined by powerful members of the Demon Clan, all stained with blood. A Golden Toad Demon, puzzled, said, "Boss, why don’t we just kill them and report back to the Heavenly Court?" The Cat Demon stretched out its long claws, stroking its little beard, and chuckled, "Don’t you find this amusing?" All other Evil Spirits looked blankly, not understanding. Isn’t it just a chase? What’s so amusing?! Suddenly, a large black cat pounced out from within the mountain, its gaping maw aiming for a woman holding a baby, eyes filled with mockery. The woman instinctively looked up, despair flashing in her eyes. She tightened her grip, and suddenly, the baby was thrown forward, flying towards another person. Mid-air, the baby chuckled gleefully, seemingly finding it extremely fun to fly. The black cat abruptly changed direction, pouncing towards the baby. The woman screamed in horror, "No! Don’t harm my child." She leaped forward, launching herself at the Cat Demon. A flash of silver light passed, and with a ’pu~’, the black cat was sent flying and pinned to a tree by a Flying Sword, its body limply hanging down, its eyes devoid of life.
