“You charged up so arrogantly just now, and now you want to run?!”
Tightly following the flying man, Bai Yumo shouted loudly.
“This cowardly, are you even a man?!”
“There’s no benefit in fighting like this. Who wants to fight you anyway!”
The man continuously launched fireballs while accelerating in an attempt to shake off Bai Yumo’s pursuit.
Unfortunately, the instant the fireballs neared Bai Yumo, they were slashed apart by the sword qi she released, and the distance between the two continued to shrink.
Tsk, this crazy woman can actually chase this tightly. Looks like I have no choice but to do this.
The man thought this as the hand seals he formed changed.
In an instant, a powerful surge of spiritual power erupted from his body.
At the same time, strands of dark green flames continuously rose from him.
Immediately after, the man turned around and shouted toward Bai Yumo.
“Woman, since you love fighting so much, go play with them! Demon Fire Corpse Puppets, go!”
With a wave of the man’s hand, those surging dark green flames seemed to come to life, condensing into two human-shaped flames that charged toward Bai Yumo.
“Isn’t this no different from before?”
Bai Yumo said with disdain, then slashed out another sword radiance imbued with a sacred aura.
As the sword radiance swept past, the green flames were slashed away just as before.
But this time, after the flames vanished, two human figures that were somewhat black with a green tinge emerged from the fire.
In their eyes flickered a small emerald-green flame.
Bai Yumo looked at the two corpse puppets that had suddenly appeared before her and furrowed her brows.
So he wasn’t just bluffing when he called them out. They really are corpse puppets. From the looks of it, they have early Foundation Establishment strength.
Seeing the two corpse puppets block Bai Yumo, joy immediately appeared in the nearby man’s eyes.
He then immediately turned around and accelerated away.
Good thing I have these two Foundation Establishment corpse puppets controlled by my demon fire.
Although they can’t use spirit items, being able to delay her is enough!
Looking at the two corpse puppets that had suddenly appeared to block her path and the departing Blood Fiend Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator, Bai Yumo furrowed her brows and said in a low voice.
“Corpse puppets, is it? First that strange flame, and now this. He has quite a few methods.”
She tightly gripped her longsword as spiritual power continuously poured from her body into the sword.
“I originally wanted to finish you off while consuming as little as possible, but now it seems I can only do this!”
Ding.
A humming sound rang out, and a point of light appeared on the longsword.
Bai Yumo lightly swung the longsword and used it to draw a semicircle in front of her, then spoke.
“Holy Admonition First Form, Sacred Domain.”
A golden-yellow spiritual radiance instantly spread outward with Bai Yumo at the center.
After enclosing a certain range, it transformed into a towering curtain of light that enveloped Bai Yumo and the two corpse puppets within it.
At the same time, strands of golden light spots appeared on the body of that Blood Fiend Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The light spots connected into threads that stretched all the way to the distant curtain of light behind him.
“What’s going on?”
Just as the man was still wondering what kind of divine ability this was and preparing to burn it away together with his Heavenly Corpse Demon Fire, he suddenly felt that some kind of “connection” had formed between himself and the golden-yellow curtain Bai Yumo had created.
“Ah?”
The man was greatly startled as soaring green flames burst from his hands and surged onto that faintly visible thread, wanting to burn away the connection between it and himself.
But things were far from as smooth as he had imagined.
The instant the dark green flames touched the golden thread, the golden spiritual light on the thread suddenly blazed intensely.
The next moment, the man along with his green flames was enveloped by the spreading radiance and then vanished from the spot.
Coming back to his senses, the man discovered he had already arrived in a place enveloped by a golden-yellow light curtain.
Right in front of his line of sight were Bai Yumo and the two corpse puppets he had released.
“What’s going on!”
Seeing himself inexplicably returned to Bai Yumo’s vicinity, the man shouted at her in surprise.
“Do you think I would tell you?”
The only response he received was Bai Yumo’s cold and merciless voice.
“Perhaps if you make it out of here alive, you’ll have a chance to figure it out.”
Bai Yumo’s Foundation Establishment spirit item, “Holy Admonition.”
This golden longsword not only possessed a spiritual power attribute that was especially effective against demonic path cultivators, but also came with many attached divine abilities.
And this “Sacred Domain” was one of the divine abilities Bai Yumo could currently use.
Its effect was to create a domain constructed from Bai Yumo’s spiritual power, pulling Bai Yumo and the surrounding enemies into the domain.
At the same time, enemies who had previously been struck by Holy Admonition’s attacks would also form a connection with the domain.
When Bai Yumo wished it, she could directly pull distant enemies into the domain.
The most special aspect was that Bai Yumo’s spiritual power attribute would fill the entire interior of the domain.
In other words, throughout the entire domain, her spiritual power’s suppression effect against demonic cultivators would manifest.
Although the effect was very powerful, the consumption of her spiritual power was also quite substantial.
Moreover, after the domain was deployed, if Bai Yumo did not actively dispel it, others could neither leave from the inside nor enter from the outside.
That was why Bai Yumo had not immediately used this divine ability earlier.
If she blocked the entrance to the demonic sect’s stronghold, it would cause some trouble for the operation.
But now she naturally did not need to worry about consuming too much spiritual power and being unable to help those Qi Refining Stage junior cultivators.
Nor did she need to worry about blocking the stronghold’s entrance or anything of the sort.
So she could now use it with peace of mind.
Thus, under the man’s astonished gaze, Bai Yumo once again swung Holy Admonition.
Sword radiance swept horizontally as she attacked the two corpse puppets ahead.
“This is too unlucky!”
The man said through gritted teeth.
He had inexplicably run into someone who suddenly attacked his stronghold, and it just so happened to be a cultivator who could counter his spirit item.
Moreover, the opponent’s divine ability was so cheating that he couldn’t even run away if he wanted to.
His current mood was naturally extremely complicated.
But now he had no choice but to fight.
Seeing Bai Yumo attack once more, the man hurriedly circulated the spiritual power within his body, wanting to join the corpse puppets in facing Bai Yumo.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the circulation of spiritual power throughout his body had become extremely sluggish.
At the same time, the spiritual power he outputted was also much weaker than it had been outside.
“My spiritual power circulation is being suppressed!”
Only then did the man suddenly realize this situation.
At the same time, he tried to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world.
But after absorbing just a little, he felt that the spiritual energy that entered his body was actually burning his meridians.
“Damn it!”
With his spiritual power suppressed and unable to absorb external spiritual energy either, the man finally realized that after being locked into this domain, he had been comprehensively weakened.
While the man hesitated, the golden-yellow sword radiance swept across the two Foundation Establishment corpse puppets, slashing a deep wound across their chests.
Foul-smelling liquid dripped from the wounds and was instantly evaporated by Bai Yumo’s spiritual power the moment it fell.
Gripping Holy Admonition tightly, Bai Yumo arrived beside one of the corpse puppets and suddenly thrust the longsword into the corpse puppet’s skull.
The instant it pierced through, a dark green flame crawled onto Bai Yumo’s shining sword blade.
But the next moment, as golden-yellow spiritual power surged forth, that flame was forcefully suppressed back.
Then, spiritual power entered the body of the pierced corpse puppet.
The corpse puppet’s body that had been injected with spiritual power suddenly began to swell.
Bai Yumo directly kicked it away, sending that corpse puppet flying toward the man and the other corpse puppet.
Bang!
The swollen corpse puppet’s body slammed into the other corpse puppet and violently exploded the next instant.
Strands of tiny golden sword radiances shot out from the exploding body, directly slicing the rear corpse puppet into pieces.
They then passed through the shattered chunks of flesh and slashed toward the man.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly summoned the origin fire of his Heavenly Corpse Demon Fire, which served as his dao foundation, to block those tiny sword radiances.
Dark green flames spread out in front of the man, forming a flame cover.
Although it blocked quite a few of the sword radiances, some still passed through the cover, pierced his protective spiritual light, and wounded him.
“It’s suppressed quite a bit. Can’t block them all. No matter, the origin fire of the Heavenly Corpse Demon Fire isn’t just for show!”
As the origin fire of his dao foundation, it was directly connected to the man’s qi palace.
So even under suppression, in terms of mobilizing spiritual power, it was much faster than circulating it through the meridians.
Just as the man still wanted to use this origin fire to counterattack, a voice suddenly rang out beside his ear.
“Too slow.”
The sword blade shining with golden-yellow light had already arrived beside his neck.
Standing behind him was Bai Yumo, who had quickly arrived at his back while he was dealing with the sword radiance attacks.
Golden radiance flashed past.
The sword blade gave the man no chance to react whatsoever as it instantly flashed across his neck.
“It’s over.”
Bai Yumo’s clear and cold voice rang out, announcing the victory of this battle.
