Chapter 152 It’s my turn to take action
When Ruan Hongshuang and Si Jingnian noticed that Princess Hengyang was poised to launch an attack, their nerves instantly tightened, and they couldn't help but secretly groan inwardly.
At this moment, Long Jiaojiao had just finished a thrilling and fierce battle. Although her injuries had largely healed, the lingering fatigue still clung to her like a shadow.
She knew that she was far from being in the best condition, and that she would probably be unable to fight again if she were to return to the battlefield.
Looking at Ruan Hongshuang's side, although her strength should not be underestimated, she had to admit that she paled in comparison when facing a powerful opponent like Princess Hengyang.
That feeling of powerlessness weighed heavily on her heart like a mountain, making her feel immense pressure.
As for Si Jingnian, he might be quite adept at dealing with living people on a normal day, but when it comes to these elusive ghosts and monsters, he seems helpless and utterly powerless.
Shen Qingyao's situation is even more complicated. Having accidentally swallowed that mysterious bead of unknown origin, her current physical condition is difficult for others to ascertain.
This undoubtedly makes the whole situation increasingly unpredictable and worrying.
At present, this group of people can be described as a battered and bruised "defeated army". Compared with Princess Hengyang, the disparity in strength is self-evident.
Princess Hengyang could easily annihilate them all with a mere flick of her sleeve.
However, even at this critical moment, Shen Qingyao seemed completely unaware of her disadvantageous position.
Far from showing any sign of backing down, she seemed to have been inspired to fight. She clenched her fists, rubbed them together, and her eyes gleamed with excitement, looking eager to try and ready to go into battle.
Princess Hengyang's once beautiful face was now twisted and ferocious with rage. Her beautiful eyes burned with fury as she stared intently at Shen Qingyao and the others, as if she wanted to devour them alive.
The next moment, Princess Hengyang began chanting incantations, her hands waving continuously, and a powerful spiritual force surged from her body, instantly controlling the various stone structures around her.
Those originally solid stones now seemed to come alive, rising into the air and hurtling towards Shen Qingyao and the others with a fierce momentum.
Ruan Hongshuang was terrified when she saw a huge stone pillar hurtling towards her like a cannonball.
She quickly used her agility to dodge to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly stone block.
However, the stone block did not stop attacking because of her dodging; instead, it continued to fly forward and crashed heavily into the wall next to her.
With a deafening roar, a large hole was smashed through the solid wall, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.
The stone block was shattered into pieces upon impact, scattering across the ground.
Looking at the terrifying scene before her, Ruan Hongshuang couldn't help but pat her chest with lingering fear, secretly glad that she hadn't been hit by the stone block, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Looking over here, Si Jingnian held Shen Qingyao's hand tightly, trying to help her avoid a thick stone pillar flying towards them.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qingyao suddenly shook off Si Jingnian's hand, and not only that, but she also showed an extremely excited expression on her face.
In the blink of an eye, the stone pillar flew in front of Shen Qingyao and Si Jingnian, and was about to crash into them.
Seeing this, Si Jingnian stepped forward without hesitation, took a step in front of Shen Qingyao, opened his arms, and made a gesture as if he would protect her with his body.
At this moment, Si Jingnian had already made up his mind: if his wife was unwilling to leave, then even if it meant death, he would stay by her side.
However, neither Si Jingnian nor Ruan Hongshuang expected that the imposing stone pillar would suddenly stop less than a meter away from Si Jingnian, as if it had been frozen in place by an invisible force.
Just then, Shen Qingyao, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an extremely charming smile. Her beautiful eyes also shone with an undisguised excitement.
"Princess Hengyang, next... it's my turn to make a move!"
Shen Qingyao's voice was crisp yet cold, containing a chilling aura.
At this moment, her entire demeanor appeared extremely abnormal, and even the tone of her voice was completely different from her usual gentle and graceful self.
Si Jingnian keenly noticed the change in Shen Qingyao, and a sense of doubt and worry arose in his heart.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze stiff as he looked at Shen Qingyao, only to be surprised to find that the familiar woman in front of him now looked so unfamiliar.
At this moment, Shen Qingyao's once clear and watery eyes were now filled with intense killing intent, and that ruthless aura seemed to burst forth from her eyes.
The wicked smile still lingered on her lips, only now the slight upward curve made it appear even more ferocious and terrifying.
Before Si Jingnian could react, Shen Qingyao suddenly swung her arm, and a powerful force erupted instantly.
Si Jingnian felt a tremendous force strike him, and his body flew backward involuntarily. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"Ayao..."
Si Jingnian subconsciously called out, trying to stop Shen Qingyao, who had suddenly become so unfamiliar.
Hearing his call, Shen Qingyao turned her head slightly and glanced at Si Jingnian with a cold and indifferent look.
That once gentle and charming face was now filled with a cruel and bloodthirsty expression, making Si Jingnian feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body enveloped in a bone-chilling cold.
Seeing Si Jingnian standing there in astonishment, Shen Qingyao seemed to have lost interest in him. She quickly shifted her gaze away from him and turned back to stare intently at Princess Hengyang, her eyes burning with murderous intent as if she wanted to burn her to ashes.
Princess Hengyang frowned, her beautiful eyes fixed on Shen Qingyao, her delicate face filled with surprise and doubt.
Clearly, Princess Hengyang had already sensed the unusual aura emanating from Shen Qingyao, and a sense of apprehension arose in her heart.
Suddenly, Shen Qingyao's originally beautiful and refined face became distorted, and she muttered something under her breath:
"Destroy! Destroy all things in this world, and then there will be no more pain! Let me lead you to that paradise, where you will enjoy endless joy forever!"
Her voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the deepest hell, full of bewitching magic.
Moreover, there was a hint of intoxication in his words, which sent chills down one's spine.
Upon hearing these words, Ruan Hongshuang's eyes widened suddenly, her face filled with fear and unease, and her heart leaped into her throat.
Although she had never seen such a bizarre scene before, she remembered what her master had told her in a message.
Elysium God!
At that very moment, something chilling happened—puffs of pitch-black mist began to emerge continuously from Shen Qingyao's body.
The black mist, like nimble black snakes, quickly coiled around Shen Qingyao's body and slowly lifted her into the air.
What's even more terrifying is that these black mists seem to have their own independent consciousness. They keep flying and swirling around Shen Qingyao, sometimes intertwining and sometimes dispersing, like a sinister and terrifying dance performance.
Even Si Jingnian, an ordinary person, could clearly see this extremely bizarre scene. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he could barely stand.
