Chapter 261: Black Lotus Fairy – What the heck are all these monsters?!
Bai Yu Mo stared at the ice sculpture of Black Lotus, not feeling relaxed in the slightest, and quickly took a step back.
Then, in the next moment, a furious surge of demonic energy shattered the ice into dust. Black Lotus Fairy was no longer looking like a clever fox; her body was now riddled with demonic energy pouring out from her wounds, covering most of her body—skin, muscle, and even bones crumbling away like a poorly made cake.
At the same time, she snapped back to her senses. Her crimson eyes scanned the crowd, but instead of attacking Bai Yu Mo and friends, she swiftly dodged them and charged straight toward the camp.
Tai Chu Pei An saw this and stepped forward to stop her, but suddenly her demonic energy split into a new fox head, which lunged directly at him, blocking his path.
‘d*mn, my cultivation’s still too low,’ he cursed inwardly. If he had reached the Transformation God Stage, perhaps she wouldn’t be able to stop him with her demon-possessed fox head.
Black Lotus didn’t slow down, even when heading straight for the solid array. Her head, wrapped in demonic energy, crashed into it, causing cracks to spiderweb across the barrier. One good shove later, the barrier shattered completely.
Her condition wasn’t great either—part of the demon energy on her skull dissipated, revealing a frighteningly white skull underneath. She shook her head, then her crimson eyes rapidly swept towards the camp.
Most people there had rushed outside to handle the monsters at the perimeter, leaving only the injured and the utterly useless behind.
But she didn’t attack them. Instead, her gaze fixed on Zuo Qiu, standing on an open patch of ground.
“Found her!” The smile finally returned to her face. Just as she was about to rush over, a copper coin suddenly hit her unprotected leg. Her nearly collapsed calf disintegrated instantly. She staggered, almost falling to the ground.
“d*mn it!”
Black Lotus cursed under her breath. Her demonic energy suddenly boiled over, covering more of her body and causing her to crumble further.
But she couldn’t care less now. Using her demonic energy to stabilize her injured leg, she charged once more at Zuo Qiu.
Zuo Qiu looked up at the approaching massive fox, calm as ever, with no trace of fear on her face.
She reached out and touched the flame-shaped mark on her collarbone. Thin flames flickered off her body.
By now, Black Lotus’s claws were almost upon her head.
“Senior Sister Zuo, run!”
At that moment, a voice tinged with desperation and fear rang out nearby, and a porcelain bottle suddenly smashed into Black Lotus Fairy’s body.
Like a wet blanket dumped on a fiery pile, her demonic energy nearly halved instantly. A few flames flickered on her, burning away her demonic energy.
“Ah, d*mn it!”
Black Lotus cried out in pain, turning to glare at the terrified girl. She couldn’t understand why there were so many freaks among these sect disciples.
Someone with a divine body cut off her tail, another bizarre creature wielded the Extermination Sword Array, and now this girl?
What was in that thing she threw? How was it able to suppress her demonic energy?
She grit her teeth—she must not let this kid live!
Her tail snapped toward Li Zhi Yi. Seeing this, Li Zhi Yi, already running, quickened her pace but overbalanced and sat down hard on the ground in her terror.
She stared at the approaching tail, hands raised defensively, and instinctively closed her eyes.
Bam!
Nothing happened.
No searing pain. Instead, a semi-transparent barrier appeared before her, full of cracks, ready to shatter at any moment.
She lowered her gaze and saw that the Portable Array Disk Bai Feng had given her earlier had auto-activated when danger approached.
“Ugh, it’s this thing again!”
Black Lotus clenched her teeth. Was her condition really that bad? She couldn’t even break a small array with one attack?
Just as she was about to add another strike, Tian Yan Girl had already leapt in front of Li Zhi Yi, clutching a copper coin. Suddenly, flames erupted behind her.
Zuo Qiu’s hair floated upward, even the tips tinged with fiery red.
“How is this possible! Why do you have such…?”
What the heck are all these monsters?!
Fear flickered in Black Lotus’s eyes, but as she cast a glance at her crumbling body, she clenched her teeth, claws shooting forward toward Zuo Qiu.
But her flames, ignited on her arm, burned right through her claw and spread rapidly across her body, severely eroded by demonic energy. Her collapsing body was incinerated completely in this fiery assault.
“This little flame isn’t enough!”
Black Lotus roared furiously. More demonic energy erupted from her, enveloping her entire fox form. Even the flames seemed subdued under her oppressive demonic aura.
Her head, now entirely covered in demonic energy except for a single red eye glaring furiously at Zuo Qiu.
The demonic energy shot toward her opponent’s position, even as the firewall erected in front of Zuo Qiu was immediately overwhelmed by the thick miasma.
“Extermination Sword Array, activate!”
A voice echoed beside Black Lotus and Zuo Qiu. The ground beneath their feet shimmered faintly, and in the next second, three long swords pierced through the demonic fog and stabbed into Black Lotus’s body. Seemingly ordinary, these swords inflicted massive damage, instantly wiping out vast amounts of her demonic energy.
Oozing demonic energy burst from her wounds as she cried out painfully. At this point, she had no desire to fight. She spun around, ready to flee.
But a petite figure stepped in her path.
She slowly raised her sword. The sword formation beneath her glowed faintly, resonating with her sword, as if she was part of the array herself. With a decisive swing, she brought the sword down.
What seemed like a simple strike in appearance struck terror into Black Lotus’s eyes. Her demonic energy swirled violently, trying to dodge this terrifying attack, but no matter how she moved, she couldn’t seem to escape the slow-looking slash. Her eyes widened helplessly as the long sword cut into her.
Thud!
The giant fox’s head hit the ground, slowly dissipating its demonic aura. Only half a fox head remained—half intact, the other half a pile of stark white bones.
With great difficulty, she rolled her eyes and looked at Bai Feng walking over, voice hoarse as she asked:
“Who… exactly are you?”
Bai Feng looked at the fox head at her feet, mimicking her earlier tone and chuckling, “Hehe, I won’t tell you.”
“You…”
Ignoring the foul language from the broken fox head, Bai Feng reached out, beckoned to Zuo Qiu, and then gently placed his hand on her shoulder, pretending to give her a pat. Tiny flames entered her body through his touch: “Zuo Qiu, you did well. Please handle her from here—preferably turn her to ash.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Zuo Qiu’s face lit with a barely concealed smile. This time, she finally helped her master without causing trouble.
But don’t get cocky now—the master’s task isn’t finished!
She scanned the barely alive fox head on the ground, then unleashed all the flames Bai Feng poured into her, completely engulfing Black Lotus’s head and body.
