Chapter 285: Chapter 282: Joining Forces to Fight the DemonXue Wuheng and Sikong Xin made a disheveled escape, but Zhuo Qian had no intention of letting them go. Having just experienced the explosion of the Leaving Fire Spirit Pearl, Zhuo Qian was also left battered and bruised. The power of the Leaving Fire Spirit Pearl was formidable, and even though Zhuo Qian was possessed by an Evil Demon, she still suffered significant trauma. This severe injury drove Zhuo Qian into a rage, and she quickly pursued them. "We should go too!" Taking advantage of Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin distracting Zhuo Qian, Ye Xuan waved to Yu Wuxin and the gray mouse, then leaped out swiftly. Above the square, just as Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin had emerged, Zhuo Qian arrived swiftly behind them, appearing relentless. "Damn it, I should never have provoked this monster." Sikong Xin’s face was somewhat pale. He had been bitten by Zhuo Qian, and it had left him in lingering fear. If she had bitten his neck, the result would have been undoubtedly gruesome. Just as they were preparing to flee, a group of disciples from the Mist Sea appeared from the Stone People Formation, led by none other than the Golden Arrow Saint and Silver Spear Saint. "Run towards the people from the Mist Sea!" A chilly gleam flashed in Xue Wuheng’s eyes, and a malicious stratagem crossed his mind. With that thought, the two dashed towards the troops from the Mist Sea. Seeing Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin suddenly charging at them, the Golden Arrow Saint and Silver Spear Saint also became cautious. However, Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin didn’t stop; while still halfway, they soared into the air and flew over the heads of the Mist Sea crowd. "What are these two doing?" The Silver Spear Saint was somewhat puzzled—they were poised to fight—but he slightly relaxed his guard. Yet, a pungent foul wind swept towards them, and before them suddenly appeared a blood-drenched, ferocious woman who, without a word, lunged and bit. Ah! Caught off guard, the Silver Spear Saint was bitten on the arm by Zhuo Qian. He screamed in agony as his left arm shriveled at an alarming rate, as if it had turned into the arm of a withered old man. "Get back!" Enduring the intense pain, the Silver Spear Saint jabbed his spear at the center of Zhuo Qian’s forehead, forcing her back, and then from midair, a golden arrow whizzed out with astonishing speed and directly pierced through Zhuo Qian’s neck, coming out the other side. "Are you alright?" The Golden Arrow Saint supported the Silver Spear Saint and looked at the shriveled arm with a furrowed brow. Such a severe wound was unlikely to heal back to its original state without the aid of a rare treasure. Crack! In the stunned gazes of the crowd, Zhuo Qian pulled the golden arrow from her neck, broke it into two pieces, and threw it on the ground. "She isn’t dead from that?" The Golden Arrow Saint was also somewhat shocked beyond words, goosebumps forming on his back. "Stop her!" His pupils narrowed, and the Golden Arrow Saint waved his hand. The disciples from the Mist Sea rushed forward, forming a battle array to block Zhuo Qian. But Zhuo Qian’s attacks were bizarrely unpredictable. Despite the substantial number of Mist Sea disciples, any slight misstep led to being dragged away and bitten, instantly drained dry—utterly terrifying. "Xue Wuheng, Sikong Xin, you bastards actually dared to lead this monster to us. We of the Mist Sea will remember this debt." The Silver Spear Saint glared hatefully at Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin; these two bastards obviously had ill intentions by leading such a calamity towards them. "Heh, we’ll talk once you have dealt with this monster." In response to such threatening words, Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin appeared unconcerned. In the Suspended Air Secret Realm, it was common for each to scheme against the othersignal, and even if the elders of the Mist Sea were informed, would they really wage war against his Evil Wind Cave Heaven over this little affair? Soon after, Qin Qi and Nangong Yao, along with some disciples from Xuanbing Mansion, also emerged from the Stone People Formation and reached the center of the square. Upon seeing the Mist Sea disciples struggling in the fierce battle, they were all taken aback. In the center of the Mist Sea disciples stood a slender figure radiating a terrifying power surge. Upon closer inspection, within a Blood Cloud, there was a blood-soaked, beautiful woman, dragging long bloody hair, her body emanating blood, her visage terrifying. "Is that person Zhuo Qian?" Seeing Zhuo Qian, who had completely turned into a monstrous form, Zhuo Yanyun’s pupils shrank, ready to rush out, but was stopped by Li Ziting next to her. "She’s no longer Zhuo Qian, don’t act rashly," Li Ziting looked warily at the blood-colored figure before him, whose ruthless strikes, not even all the combined disciples of the Mist Sea could withstand, were truly terrifying. At this time, from the underground passageway, Ye Xuan and Yu Wuxin, and the gray mouse Array Spirit, all appeared one after another, landing on this plaza. "Ye Xuan, every time this Evil Demon absorbs essence blood, its power greatly increases, she must not be allowed to continue growing stronger," Yu Wuxin saw the ongoing casualties among the disciples of the Mist Sea who were drained into dry corpses by Zhuo Qian and couldn’t help but become anxious. These disciples were the elites of the Mist Sea, with each death, fewer remained, and if Zhuo Qian kept slaughtering like this, there might not be many left by the end. "Let’s make a move." Ye Xuan nodded, he knew Yu Wuxin was right. If they allowed Zhuo Qian to continue slaying, her strength would only grow stronger, and it would be as difficult as scaling the heavens to deal with her later on. Saying this, his figure moved, and he also swept in the direction of Xuanbing Mansion. "Ye Xuan, did you enter the core of the Suspended Air Ancient City?" Qin Qi had just seen Ye Xuan come out from the underground passageway and couldn’t help asking. "Yeah, let’s not talk about it, there was just a mouse inside, nothing else, did you guys find anything?" Ye Xuan was quite frustrated about this matter. "Just a mouse?" Qin Qi’s expression also showed some surprise; the Suspended Air Ancient City was the residence of the ancient saints, and the core hall was incredibly important, so how could it be as Ye Xuan described, so shabby? "Young girl, don’t underestimate me, I am not an ordinary mouse, if it weren’t for me, this young man and that girl would have died at the hands of that blood-sucking monster. My capabilities are beyond your imagination. This Suspended Air Ancient City was designed by me, of course, this still goes back ten thousand years..." The gray mouse started talking non-stop, ending with a fancy finish, "Anyway, don’t be infatuated with me, I’m just a legend." "This mouse is quite amusing." Qin Qi felt a headache coming on but managed a wry smile. However, Nangong Yao was very interested in this mouse Array Spirit, her big eyes blinking in fascination. "Just ignore it. Now that Zhuo Qian has been taken over by the Evil Demon, her power is slowly growing stronger, we must join forces with the disciples of the Mist Sea and get rid of her first." Ye Xuan’s gaze turned solemn, sensing a subtle dangerous fluctuation from Zhuo Qian’s body, the potential power of the Evil Demon within her had probably not been fully unleashed yet, and once it recovered its strength, it would be too late to contain. "Alright. Junior Sister Zhuo, you don’t need to take part, the rest of you, follow me and attack!" Qin Qi drew his sword, after considering Zhuo Yanyun’s feelings, he called to the people of Xuanbing Mansion, and they all launched their attacks together, converging around Zhuo Qian. Roar! However, as the number of people increased, a startling blood light suddenly burst from Zhuo Qian’s body, then split into three beams shooting out, hitting three disciples of the Mist Sea, instantly turning three living people into piles of bones. "Truly delicious..." A harsh, small voice came from Zhuo Qian’s mouth, her expression showing extreme enjoyment, chilling to the bone. "Evil creature!" Yu Wuxin cried out sharply, her jade hands began sealing, and the twisted transparent True Qi, like floating ribbons, bound towards Zhuo Qian, holding her tightly. In an instant, numerous attacks landed on Zhuo Qian, leaving terrible wounds, but just within a few breaths, all injuries automatically healed. Zhuo Qian roared loudly, breaking the invisible ribbons that bound her, shattering them instantly. Meanwhile, Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin, the two of them, just watched from afar, enjoying the show. They had no intention of helping; they would rather see more disciples from Xuanbing Mansion and the Mist Sea die, a case of the dogs biting each other, with them reaping the fisherman’s benefit in the end. "She’s getting stronger and stronger, practically immortal." Ye Xuan realized how troublesome Zhuo Qian was, not knowing where her vital point was, making it very difficult to kill her, even he couldn’t manage it. Frowning, Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted away, then landed on the Golden Arrow Saint nearby, noticing the bow and arrows in his hands, he brightened up and quickly moved beside the Golden Arrow Saint, saying, "Lend me your bow and arrows for a moment." "What are you joking about, my Golden Arrow Saint’s bow and arrows cannot be lent out to just anybody." Of course, the Golden Arrow Saint wouldn’t agree, especially since he didn’t have a good impression of Ye Xuan, there was no way he would lend out his life-essential golden bow and arrows. Bang! Not wanting to waste words, Ye Xuan directly struck on Golden Arrow Saint’s chest, sending him flying with several moves, and snatched away the bow and arrows. "Scoundrel, how dare you?!" Golden Arrow Saint never expected Ye Xuan to strike him directly and roared furiously, but Ye Xuan ignored him, quickly aiming the bow, a trace of pale golden True Qi swiftly gathering at the tip of the arrow. Whiz! After accumulating for ten seconds, Ye Xuan suddenly released his grip, the golden arrow tearing through the air, shooting out with gold attribute True Qi, its tearing force even more terrifying, the air split immediately before the arrow, creating a vacuum trail, hitting Zhuo Qian right between the eyebrows, pinning her body harshly against a thick stone pillar.
