"Not good—the howling sound could so easily injure me; it must be a powerful demon in human form!"
Zhong Lingxiu's natal magic treasure, the Ice Soul Pearl, emitted rays of icy light, protecting her. Without even thinking, she took out a high-grade third-tier Earth Escape Talisman and slapped it on her body.
Then a flash of yellow light, and he disappeared into the ground, swimming away into the distance.
"The young master will be here soon, I can't die here!"
Zhong Lingxiu was already covered in a thick layer of ice armor, her eyes resolute.
Even though he was the one who had been converted, aside from centering everything around Fang Qing, he still thought like Zhong Lingxiu when it came to other things. Even ants try to survive!
Beneath the reef.
Screams continued incessantly.
If even a Core Formation cultivator like Zhong Lingxiu was injured, the other disciples below the Core Formation stage would naturally let out a wail and die bleeding from all seven orifices.
Inside the cave of the Heavenly Frost Old Monster, this Nascent Soul cultivator moved even faster than Zhong Lingxiu!
Almost as soon as the two transformed demons made their move, his expression turned pale. He crushed a talisman and also chose to escape using earth magic.
Swish!
But even faster than him was that transformed great demon!
The opponent's blue wings fluttered gently behind him, each flap like a teleportation, clearly a mastery of the Wind Release technique.
With just a few leaps, he caught up with Old Monster Tian Shuang: "Today—your Nascent Soul stage won't escape, and neither will your disciples!"
Old Monster Tian Shuang swept his divine sense across the area and couldn't help but secretly groan in despair.
This transformed demon's true form was an extraordinary demonic bird with extremely profound cultivation. Last time, I was no match for it and only managed to escape with my nascent soul after losing my physical body.
With injuries to his body and the body he had taken over not yet fully integrated, how could he possibly fight?
With his mid-Nascent Soul stage divine sense extending over a hundred miles, he could see that the few Core Formation disciples who had managed to escape were, unsurprisingly, being pursued by strange wind spirits.
Could it be that the lineage of my Heavenly Frost Sect is about to be severed here?
In an instant, even the Heavenly Frost Old Monster felt a sense of despair.
He pointed, and in a flash of white light, a crystal-clear cage appeared.
The cage was composed of nine lifelike ice dragons. At this moment, their eyes lit up, as if they had come to life in an instant, transforming into nine giant ice dragons, spewing out icy divine light, and rushing towards the transformed great demon.
"It's that trick again—"
Brother Qin's hand transformed into a bird's claw. This kind of transformed demon's body is almost comparable to a fourth-tier magic weapon in every part, not to mention its specially tempered claws, which are almost as powerful as a high-grade fourth-tier magic weapon!
With a flap of its wings, it darted away from the encirclement of the nine dragons.
Not only that, but there were also a lot of ice shards on the bird's claws.
Behind it, the nine colossal ice dragons let out a mournful cry and exploded, turning into a shower of snow and ice.
Old Monster Tian Shuang seemed to have known this outcome all along. Taking advantage of this brief restraint, a flash appeared on the top of his head, and an old-looking Nascent Soul True God emerged, holding a miniature version of the Frost Cage in his arms. He was about to break into the void and escape.
Below the late Nascent Soul stage, cultivators find it difficult to enter the Void in their true form and can only act using their Nascent Soul.
The Frost Demon King had no intention of dealing with this transformed demon; instead, he planned to flee for his life.
But at that moment, for some unknown reason, a ray of moonlight shone down from the sky.
Under the moonlight, various silver-white runes faintly appeared in the surrounding void, like a cage, extremely stable, making it difficult even for a Nascent Soul cultivator to pass through.
"The Treasure of the Great Void?"
The tiny nascent soul cried out in alarm, transforming into a streak of blue light and soaring away: "Could it be—that Heaven truly intends to destroy me?"
After losing its physical body, its supernatural powers and magic were greatly reduced. Now, facing that transformed demon, it was no longer able to put up any fight!
"This is—that Dark Moon Clam?"
At this moment, the Frost Demon King finally noticed the woman in the plain white dress holding what appeared to be a magical artifact called a celestial sphere, and a look of despair appeared on his face.
"This Zhong Lingxiu—she's having some bad luck."
Blood Demon Island.
Fang Qing, through the Dao Sheng Pearl, naturally saw Zhong Lingxiu, who was fleeing for her life but was being chased by a strange wind spirit.
"Well, although he didn't achieve anything, he did put in a lot of effort—he was unlucky, but with me as his master, he was fortunate—so he didn't die a violent death."
With a thought, the Heavenly Fiend Master immediately transformed into a beam of light and vanished without a sound.
As for Zhong Lingxiu's mess with the Azure Sea Sect after arriving on Blood Fiend Island...
Fang Qingcai couldn't be bothered to care.
Instead of wasting time on this, it would be better to teach Qin Ruxue and the others various secret techniques.
Swish!
Three cyan wind blades flashed by.
Zhong Lingxiu managed to turn around, and countless fragments flew from the ice armor on her shoulder, revealing a deep wound that exposed bone.
"This wind spirit—it's almost at the fourth-tier combat power—"
"Judging from his face, it seems to be my Senior Brother Xu, who has reached the peak of Core Formation—could that transformed demon possess some innate supernatural power that allows him to gather the vengeful spirits of his killers and act as their accomplice?"
Zhong Lingxiu's eyes gradually lost their luster.
Currently, he is only at the late stage of Core Formation, and he is completely helpless against a near-fourth-tier wind spirit.
Just then, the void ahead began to ripple faintly.
A figure then appeared.
The figure was dressed in a black robe, with an ashen face and a faint stench of death, resembling a corpse being refined.
But a terrifying surge of magical power swept in, almost freezing the near-fourth-tier wind spirit in mid-air.
"Physical teleportation?"
"A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator? How come he seems to be a corpse refiner?"
Zhong Lingxiu was still a little confused when she saw the great cultivator wave his hand.
A gigantic black demonic hand appeared, covered in jet-black scales, with fleshy membranes connecting each finger. With just a gentle tap, the quasi-fourth-tier wind spirit vanished into thin air.
this----"
Zhong Lingxiu's eyes widened.
Although he had long known the terror of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the sheer force of this attack, annihilating a near-fourth-tier cultivator as easily as swatting a fly, still sent shivers down his spine. He was completely overwhelmed and quickly bowed, saying, "Junior Zhong Lingxiu, thank you for saving me, senior. May I ask who you are—"
"Come to Blood Fiend Island, your master is waiting for you—"
The Heavenly Fiend Old Monster said calmly.
"What? You're one too?"
Zhong Lingxiu's eyes widened, and she immediately felt an urge to die for the young master: "My frail body has troubled the young master so much; I truly deserve to die—"
Just then, dozens of miles away, two bursts of demonic energy erupted fiercely, mixed with some blue frost.
Originally, according to Tian Sha Shangren's plan, since they had already received Zhong Lingxiu, they should have simply taken her away.
Unexpectedly, as three Nascent Soul cultivators swept over the area, Old Monster Tian Shuang desperately fled in this direction, crying out, "Is that Master Tian Sha? Please save this old man!"
"The Heavenly Fiend Old Monster? A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the human race? Wasn't he long ago?"
Brother Qin followed closely behind, looking at the old monster Tian Sha with apprehension.
"Brother Qin—that person's appearance is completely different from Tian Sha's, and he is not at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but only has the power fluctuations of the late Nascent Soul stage. It should be a life-saving method of the second Nascent Soul stage, a realm that he cultivated again after his original body perished—"
The woman in the white dress, who was actually the Dark Moon Shell, laughed and said, "I have already sent out a message. If we can stall until the other fellow cultivators arrive to provide support, it will be a great achievement!"
"Not bad, I didn't expect there to be a lone late-stage human cultivator."
Brother Qin licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
His cultivation level had already reached the peak of the middle rank of the fourth level, and he had fought against powerful cultivators during the beast tide.
Although he always lost, he always managed to escape with his life thanks to his agility, and his injuries were never serious.
At this moment, he encountered a heavily injured late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and his face immediately lit up with eager anticipation.
"Fellow Daoist Tian Sha, I will lend you a hand!"
Old Monster Tian Shuang gritted his teeth, fearing that Old Monster Tian Sha might run away or leave without him in the Great Void: "I swear by my Nascent Soul that I will obey your orders from now on—"
The Heavenly Fiend Old Monster didn't even glance at Tian Shuang.
He sensed that the power of "Moon's Desire" had begun to seal off the void, making it difficult to escape the battlefield instantly and complete the young master's mission. A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Anyone who dares to obstruct me shall die!"
Tian Sha formed hand seals, facial features grew from the back of his head, and two more arms protruded from his back, growing sharp fingernails and jet-black scales.
"Ancient Demon Body!"
"After all, he was once a Nascent Soul Perfection Grand Cultivator—"
Brother Qin's expression turned slightly serious, and he gently flapped his wings behind him.
Stab it!
The Heavenly Fiend Old Monster also moved, accompanied by dark lightning, which was actually a lightning escape technique even rarer than the wind escape technique!
Splash!
Countless dark lightning bolts rained down from all sides, striking the transformed female demon that the Dark Moon Shell had become.
Meanwhile, the two-headed, four-armed figure of the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster reached out into the void, as if it had caught a wisp of wind.
The transformed demonic bird's form appeared, its two claws held by the dark demonic hand, and its expression turned extremely ugly.
"Dare to obstruct your master's mission, or you will die!"
The Heavenly Fiend Old Monster snorted coldly, his powerful divine sense entering the great demon's sea of consciousness, and then he tore it apart with both hands.
Stab it!
Blood splattered!
"Owner?"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Frost Old Monster was immediately startled: "Who dares to be the master of the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster, a Nascent Soul Venerable?"
Now that the beast tide is overwhelming, how can our human race still have a Nascent Soul cultivator in seclusion?
After a while.
The transformed demon bird let out a miserable cry as its two wings were torn apart.
It spat out its own fourth-tier essence pill, trying to escape, but was firmly grasped in the palm of a demonic hand covered with various colored runes.
On the other side...
As if strolling leisurely, the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster raised his hand and released two more bolts of demonic lightning, as black as serpents and dragons, which struck the fourth-tier Dark Moon Shell.
The woman screamed in agony as her flesh and blood melted under the corrosive power of the demonic lightning.
In the end, only a bright moon-shaped inner core and the "Moon Heart's Desire" floated in mid-air.
"Let's go—I will teleport you to see my master."

After doing all this, the Heavenly Fiend Old Monster finally looked at Zhong Lingxiu.
"Wait—where am I?"
Only now did Old Monster Tian Shuang have to admit that he was not as valuable as his own disciple in Old Monster Tian Sha's eyes.
It seems—this disciple I took in on a whim still harbors secrets—if it weren't for him, I would surely have been annihilated, body and soul—
His mind was racing, and for a moment he didn't know what to feel.
