The crosswind stirred up the dust on the mountaintop, and blood-red lightning rolled in the sea of clouds pressing down on the mountain.
Boom—
After the murderous light that soared into the sky dissipated, the ten-thousand-foot Black Python could not withstand the injury anymore. Its body fell heavily, and its terrifying bloody mouth no longer had the strength to open and close. The thick blood with an intense aura flowed out from the holes in its body and over the edge of the mountaintop cliff like a blood waterfall.
"Ah Mang!!"
Xue'e rapidly descended from the sky and landed next to the snake eye that was several times larger than her body.
Xue'e knew that the python was immortal, and even if it was completely chopped and turned into ashes, as long as Gu Mingxin was alive, it could be reborn again. But in all these years, this was the first time she had seen it injured like this, and the worry on her face was visible.
"Ah Mang… you..."
Hiss— I'm fine, go find that little girl Mingxin...
Ah Mang responded with a hiss, and then the huge body turned into a trace of demonic light and dissipated in front of Xue'e.
Xue'e nodded, exhaled lightly, and then looked up at the Holy Emperor Golden Dragon that was now hovering in the sky.
The injury on the Golden Dragon was not light either. After taking on many demonic spells from He Buqun at close range, most of the golden scales and jade armor on its body fell off. The original majesty of the Holy Spirit was no longer the same as before, and it looked incomplete.
"Yu Die!!!"
Xiao Tian's ethereal roar resounded through the quiet mountaintop.
A golden light flew out from the Golden Dragon's forehead and swooped down toward the deep pit in the center of the remaining half of the mountain.
Seeing that it had found Feng Yu Die, Xue'e also quickly floated up and chased after her.
Inside the deep pit.
Feng Yu Die's silver hair was now stained with dust and blood, no longer dazzling like before. She tried her best to stand up, but her limbs seemed to not belong to her. She couldn't control her shaking and couldn't use any strength at all.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Tian waved her hand in panic to signal her to calm down. "Yu Die, don't be stubborn! Take the recovery pill first, then sit down to recuperate. He Buqun should be dead. I can't detect him with my spiritual sense!"
"Not yet!!" Feng Yu Die gritted her teeth. The moment before He Buqun blew up half a mountain with his demonic energy, that is, when she used the sword to cut He Buqun and Gu Mingxin in half, she saw He Buqun condense a spiritual shield at the waist section with his demonic energy.
Although she was sure that the sword did damage He Buqun's spiritual sense and Deification cultivation, the cultivator's golden core was still there, and He Buqun was very likely still alive. Her only thought at the moment was to stand up before He Buqun recovered.
And it was at this moment.
Bang!
A pale arm broke out of the mud under Feng Yu Die and hit her belly with a punch.
"Ugh--"
This force made Feng Yu Die sit up on her butt and look at the arm that stretched out from the ground in horror, but the owner of the arm seemed to be stuck.
The pale and bloodless arm twisted and turned like a snake dancing to the sound of a flute, causing Xiao Tian and Feng Yu Die to watch it in shock.
It was still Xue'e who was chasing after her that realized it was her Mingxin, and she rushed over to grab the wrist and pull it up with force. "Ah, ah, ah--!!! White fool, golden idiot!! Why are you standing there, come and help, this is Mingxin!!!"
"Ah? Oh!!" "Ah? Oh!!"
The two idiots' reaction was surprisingly consistent. Feng Yu Die held her breath and crawled over to grab the wrist with Xiao Tian and Xue'e, then pulled it hard.
Boom—
Half of Gu Mingxin flew out of the ground, drawing a parabola, and then fell directly into the arms of Feng Yu Die, who sat on the ground again. She lowered her chin and then carefully held Gu Mingxin's armpits and lifted her up. "Are you... okay?"
?
Gu Mingxin rolled her eyes at Feng Yu Die and wiped the mud and blood on her face as she looked around. "Help me find my lower half, I feel..."
Pah—
Before she finished speaking, half of her body fell from the sky and hit the ground about ten feet away from the two of them, exploding in a ball of blood and mud. The two people and the two little ones simultaneously turned their heads to look over.
"No need to find it, help me move my lower half... the one you cut!!"
"Ah? Oh… oh."
Feng Yu Die's mind was blank at this moment, but the weakness in her hands and feet had eased a lot. She hurriedly put down the upper half of Gu Mingxin and ran over to help her move the lower half over.
However, the moment Feng Yu Die stood up.
Buzz—!!
The surrounding gravel shook, and a force as heavy as ten thousand pounds suddenly fell heavily on Feng Yu Die's shoulders, forcing her to kneel on the ground again.
The next moment—
Boom—
A crack appeared in the ground, and a blood-colored ball broke through the ground and rushed out.
"Ahem— Heaah—!!!"
The roar sounded again.
Like Gu Mingxin, He Buqun only had the upper body left and was now floating in the air wrapped in demonic energy. At this moment, his eyeballs were bulging out of their sockets, and his long hair was scattered like flowing fire. He looked like a crazy red-haired old man instead of a noble Great Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
In his blood-stained eyes, murderous intent was surging, staring at Feng Yu Die who was kneeling on the ground, and Gu Mingxin who only had half of her body left.
"You two brats! How dare you!!! Uh ah ah ah—"
The hoarse voice actually created a storm, causing even Xiao Tian and Xue'e to cover their ears in discomfort.
Gu Mingxin looked at He Buqun floating in the sky and finally showed some frustration in her eyes.
This He bastard was not dead yet, and his spiritual sense had been cut in half...
She could see that He Buqun was now in his last moments.
In other words, even if she and Feng Yu Die escaped now and left him alone, he couldn't prolong his life even if he used the immortal elixir.
However, in this situation, it was still easy for He Buqun to kill her and Feng Yu Die.
At least one of them must survive!!
Gu Mingxin had this idea and immediately shouted. "White fool!! Don't worry about me, just go!!"
"Ah?" Feng Yu Die, who was enduring the power of He Buqun, heard this, turned around, and almost without hesitation, answered, "I won't!!!"
"You!!"
Looking at the two people below who were still playing the friendship card at this moment, He Buqun just felt it was ridiculous. He raised his head, then gritted his teeth, and opened his hands like claws, facing both sides.
"No one can leave!!! Heh—!"
After the shout, countless demonic lights condensed into blood cones, filling the entire sky that Feng Yu Die and Gu Mingxin could see.
Seeing this, Xue'e's pupils widened, and she hurriedly put her hands together, wanting to call Ah Mang to help the two of them block He Buqun's desperate technique, but Ah Mang was too seriously injured and could not appear in the world right now.
Xiao Tian shouted almost at the same time. "Old Dragon!!"
Roar—
The Golden Dragon hovering in the sky once again leaned forward and rushed toward He Buqun.
However, He Buqun just looked back and ignored it, then turned half of the blood cones he summoned and aimed them at the dragon descending behind him.
His eyes narrowed slightly, then suddenly widened before he waved his hands.
Thousands of blood cones rose like rain, about to pour down on the two people below.
Feng Yu Die finally stood up, but her black sword had been lost in the explosion that destroyed the mountain. She had to take out a sword she used in the Qi Refining stage from her storage bag, trying to give herself some sense of security.
She instantly retreated in front of Gu Mingxin, who was half-stuck on the ground, with her golden eyes wide open, not afraid of the blood light that covered the sky.
Crack—
Feng Yu Die clenched her teeth and once again experienced the legendary flashing past scenes before a person's death. All the details of her and Ye Anping's years flashed through her eyes.
However—
Clang—
Suddenly, a shrill sword sounded.
Floating in the sky, He Buqun stared with his eyes wide open.
He saw a dark arc of light flying out from the side of the pit below, arriving in front of him almost in an instant.
At this moment, a voice that only he could hear came into his mind.
It was a man's crazy laughter.
He Buqun couldn't believe it. "Shen..."
Swoosh—
The tip of the sword suddenly pierced into his chest, accurately hitting the demonic core that he had moved into his chest, but it did not have the force to shatter it in one blow. Instead, it pushed his body toward the mouth of the golden dragon swooping down from above.
"Uh ah ah ah ah—!!"
Roar—!!
Cracks kept appearing on the demonic core in his body, and when he fell into the mouth of the golden dragon, it completely shattered.
Crack—
At the same time, the dragon's upper and lower jaws suddenly closed like a cage with a circular air wave that pushed away the oppressive dark clouds in the surroundings.
The next moment, the whole mountain fell quiet.
The countless blood cones floating in the sky suddenly turned into blood rain and poured down, drenching Feng Yu Die and Gu Mingxin in the pit with a layer of blood.
Pittering—
The blood rain stopped in an instant.
Feng Yu Die was stunned in place, completely unaware of what happened. She looked at the sky for a long time without moving, and the spiritual sword in her hand that accompanied her in her childhood finally slipped from her palm.
She raised her hand, wiped the blood off her face, and then looked at Xiao Tian beside her. "Xiao Tian..."
"Ah... Yu Die, this time he should be really gone."
"...Oh."
Hiccup—
Feng Yu Die responded in a daze. The dragon in the sky burped lightly, and its figure turned into a golden light spot before dissipating. Shen Xin's "Erosion Demon" also fell from its mouth, and the tip of the sword stuck into the blood-covered pit ground.
Dong—
Feng Yu Die turned her head and saw that the sword was already covered with cracks. If she tried to pull it out now, it would probably break immediately.
She took a deep breath and looked at Gu Mingxin, whose upper body was sticking in the blood pool behind her. Her eyes lit up. "Huh... Blacky, we survived!!!"
"..."
Gu Mingxin had no expression on her face as she rolled her eyes at her. She looked at the blood pool that was covering Feng Yu Die's ankles, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked away. "Hmm..."
Pah-Pah–
Feng Yu Die turned around and rushed toward her lower body floating in the blood pool. She hugged Gu Mingxin's butt and brought her lower half back.
"Blacky, this..."
Gu Mingxin pointed to the side with her chin and crossed her arms. "Put it there. You go find Ye Anping first... I just need to use the blood pool to connect my body..."
"Ah... How about I help you..."
"Who asked you to help? Hurry up and find Ye Anping."
Feng Yu Die shrank her head weakly. "What if other demonic cultivators come to check the situation later?"
"I can handle them without the lower body! Go away! You're so annoying!!"
Looking annoyed, Gu Mingxin directly used her hands as legs to prop up her upper body and "walked" to her lower body. Seeing that Feng Yu Die had not left yet, she cursed again. "Hurry up and go, damn it!!"
"I think I should help you..."
"Go away!!"
"Why are you so fierce..." Feng Yu Die complained, pouting. "My kindness is taken for granted. You deserve to have no friends."
Xue'e watched her Mingxin like this and knew that she was embarrassed. After all, Feng Yu Die saved her life, although she also cut off half of her body...
She floated in front of Feng Yu Die and said, "White fool, don't worry about her. Go find Ye Anping. Although there shouldn't be any problems on his side, you should help him if you can. It will take time for Mingxin to recover... I'll watch over her."
"Oh." Feng Yu Die nodded, grabbed Xiao Tian, placed her on her head, and then summoned her flying sword from the storage bag before stepping on it. "Come back quickly when you're fixed!!"
"..."
Then, Feng Yu Die rose as a golden light in the air and flew toward the forbidden area behind the Heavenly Demon Sect.
After watching her walk away, Xue'e slowly descended and floated to Gu Mingxin's side, smirking at her. "Hehe..."
Gu Mingxin glanced at her. "What are you doing? Useless thing."
"My Mingxin has made a friend~ hehe~~"
Gu Mingxin was startled. "Huh~~ What is this? You'll become a black fool if you stay with the golden fool for too long."
"Yes, yes... It just so happens that the demonic spirit in He Buqun's blood hasn't flowed out yet, so hurry up and get your body back together, otherwise you'll have to lie in bed for a few months."
"Got it..."
Gu Mingxin curled her lips and looked down at the blood that was now filling the deep pit, with a little disdain in her eyes, smiling like a fox...
"Elder He, how does it taste? Hehehehe—"
As she smiled, the sword that had slipped from Feng Yu Die's hand into the pool suddenly floated in front of her.
Gu Mingxin suppressed her expression as she reached out and grabbed the sword, picking it up. Looking at it, she noticed the small cuts on the blade caused by countless days and months of diligent sword practice and sneered. "You're so careless... Humph!"
