Chapter 294 Burning Life
She knew that Yu Ze would be alright.
He was actually able to transform into a beast form. Due to his bloodline, Yu Ze was different from other demons. He could not transform into a complete demon beast form and could only maintain a half-demon, half-human state at most.
This bloodline defect gives him a slight advantage over other demons in battle.
After all, the most terrifying thing about the demon race is their monster form.
Yun Fuzhao never expected that experiencing such a miracle would also grant him the ability to transform into a beast form.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
With his and Wuji's addition, Yun Fuzhao was finally able to catch his breath.
Jiaoyu and Qu Wangzhi were both too badly injured, and Yun Fuzhao didn't want to get entangled with them any longer. The most urgent thing was to rescue them first.
However, the jackals kept emerging.
They launched a frenzied attack on Yun Fuzhao, looking as if they wanted to devour them alive.
Now that her spiritual power is so weak, she is unable to control Wuji to use sword techniques and can only rely on it to operate on its own.
Without a master to control it, even the most powerful Wuji is just a sword.
Chaos rushed straight towards Yun Fuzhao, but before it could get close, it was blocked by a white shadow.
It turned out that Qi Huai had led a group of disciples from the Boundless Sword Sect to arrive.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Qi Huai finally felt relieved. "Yun Fuzhao, you go first, we'll cover you."
Not only did they arrive, but a group of disciples on the other side also broke through the encirclement of the ghost jackals.
They are disciples of the Lingyue Sect and the Rebirth Hall.
Gong Yuhe said to Yun Fuzhao, "Sorry I'm late."
A surge of warmth welled up in Yun Fuzhao's heart. She shook her head and said, "I am extremely grateful that you were willing to risk coming here."
Xie Wan smiled and said, "There's nothing to be grateful for. We're just trying to save our own lives."
Everyone worked together to resist the demon jackals.
With the arrival of the cultivators from the Hall of Rebirth, the attacks of the ghost jackals gradually weakened. It was unclear what method the Hall of Rebirth used, but they were able to prevent the ghost jackals from splitting apart.
Que Yu alone was no match for Shang Ji, and he soon became overwhelmed and injured.
Without saying a word, Gong Yuhe went to help him.
The two worked together quite well, and even Shang Ji couldn't get away from them for a while.
But everyone knew in their hearts that they couldn't hold out much longer. If the confrontation continued, they would surely be defeated.
During a lull in the fighting, Gong Yuhe said to Yun Fuzhao, "Wen Yan will soon arrive with a group of powerful figures to come and save the day."
Will Wen Yan also come?
I have a feeling it's not going to be anything good.
If he wanted to suppress the ferocious beast, he should have sent powerful beings to suppress it back then.
However, she couldn't worry about much else at the moment. She could only protect the weakened Jiaoyu and Qu Wangzhi.
"Fuzhao..."
Qu Wangzhi awoke amidst the sounds of fighting. Upon seeing her face, his first words were, "Run! Run!"
"It's alright, Master. I will protect you."
Qu Wangzhi coughed, his voice broken, "There's a Soul Devouring Array here!"
Upon hearing these three words, Yun Fuzhao felt a chill run down his spine.
The Soul Devouring Array was the same one she had encountered before in the Eclipse Wolf Clan; the spiritual energy transported by this array was poisonous.
No wonder she felt the spiritual energy here was exceptionally abundant when she stepped into this place.
At first, she didn't take it to heart, after all, this place was close to the demon realm. It was normal for the spiritual energy to be abundant.
Her expression immediately turned serious. Qu Wangzhi's tone was enough to show that this formation was the tail formation, the gathering place of poisonous spiritual energy.
She immediately sensed something was wrong and said to the group of cultivators, "Everyone, stop circulating your spiritual energy!"
The cultivators who were fighting the ghost jackals to the death were furious upon hearing this. "Are we just going to sit here and wait for these ghost jackals to tear us to pieces without circulating our spiritual energy?"
Yun Fuzhao: "There is a Soul-Devouring Array here, and all the spiritual energy here is poisonous!"
Shang Ji curled his lips into a smile as he effortlessly deflected their attacks. He said with a grin, "You think today is just a decapitation ceremony? You're sorely mistaken. I intend to wipe you all out in one fell swoop."
He looked at Gong Yuhe and said, "You people from the Hall of Rebirth are not easy to invite. If there were no Dragon Clan as a bargaining chip, why would you be willing to appear here?"
Gong Yuhe: "..."
“I deliberately added some potent poison to the Soul Devouring Array, specifically to deal with cultivators like you with high cultivation levels.”
Shang Ji's eyes darted around, and he added, "Judging by the time, the poison should have taken effect by now, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, black blood oozed from Gong Yuhe's lips.
Qi Huai's situation is equally worrying.
If even they suffered such a fate, those cultivators with slightly weaker abilities were even more likely to die instantly.
Almost instantly, the situation took a dramatic turn.
All the monks fell to the ground, emitting hissing sounds from the irritation of the poison.
Shang Ji easily pushed aside Gong Yuhe and Que Yu who were blocking his way, and walked step by step toward Yun Fuzhao.
Her face was pale as she desperately shielded Jiaoyu and Qu Wangzhi behind her. "So you started plotting back then."
“No, no,” Shang Ji shrugged, “I wasn’t the one who set up the formation back then; I was still imprisoned in the Ghost Realm.”
After a moment's thought, Yun Fuzhao immediately said, "It's Taotie."
"Yes."
Shang Ji's gaze fell on her. "Yun Fuzhao, Yun Fuzhao, you're the one who harmed them. If it weren't for your dragon clan, they wouldn't have died after experiencing these cultivators."
A metallic taste rose in her throat, and Yun Fuzhao's temples throbbed. Her thoughts became a jumbled mess.
My emotions were being swayed by him.
A wave of self-reproach and guilt washed over her. She had dragged them down with her.
Just as he was overwhelmed by this emotion and couldn't breathe, a strong hand grabbed her wrist.
"you are right."
Qu Wangzhi slowly walked up to her. "Yun Fuzhao, you've done very well. They're the ones who are wrong."
Shang Ji's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
"I, Qu Wangzhi, am extremely fortunate to have a disciple like you who is loyal, righteous, and exceptionally talented."
Qu Wangzhi's gaze was firm. He bit his finger and quickly drew a complex array in the air.
“If I don’t get out of here alive today,” Qu Wangzhi choked, his gaze softening for a moment, “you must apologize to Yan Niang for me. Tell her that I can’t promise her a grand wedding procession in this life. I will come back to find her in the next life…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant golden light shone forth.
Yun Fuzhao's eyes welled up with tears, and she almost choked out, "Master..."
Qu Wangzhi burned his life force to set up the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array, burning away his entire life's cultivation, which increased the emperor's power by nearly several hundred times.
Shang Ji, who was closest, clearly felt the fierce impact of spiritual energy.
His expression gradually cracked, and he said coldly, "What an idiot."
Everyone present was trapped inside the formation.
The cultivation levels of the two sides were quickly exchanged.
Yun Fuzhao obtained the cultivation level of Shang Ji, who was closest to her.
Even though she only obtained half, it was enough for her to feel a surging, ocean-like power. Was this the power of an ancient ferocious beast?
Yun Fuzhao clenched her fists, her immense pain transforming into overwhelming rage. Her eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down her cheeks, yet she roared fiercely, "Shang Ji, you will be buried with my master!"
