Although they had been controlled by the Holy Master just now, they still remembered what had happened.
This demoness was too terrifying, they were no match for her at all!
If they hadn't been so scared that their bodies went limp, they would have escaped long ago.
"Great Elder, how much longer until it's finished..." the Holy Master asked nervously, panting.
"At least another quarter of an hour," the Great Elder replied, suppressing his fear.
The slaughter continued.
Even though the disciples had surrendered, the demoness still did not spare them.
Tens of thousands of disciples of the Holy Land had already died.
Her path was littered with corpses and blood.
The corpses were in extremely miserable states, not a single one was intact.
The cruel and terrifying scene, coupled with the pungent smell, was like a living hell!
As the slaughter progressed, the demoness moved closer and closer to the sealed area.
Just then.
"It's done!"
The Great Elder shouted excitedly.
With the placement of the final talisman, the gap in the sealed area was completely restored!
And the black energy tendrils connecting the sealed area to the demoness's body dimmed once more!
The demoness paused, and her body began to tremble.
As she trembled, the black energy enveloping her grew fainter and fainter.
She appeared to be in great pain.
The Holy Master excitedly took out a precious sword from his ring and dripped a few drops of his essence blood onto the blade.
As the essence blood was absorbed, the sword emitted countless bolts of lightning!
Lightning was the greatest nemesis of the demonic path!
The Holy Master repeatedly formed hand seals, and the precious sword soared into the air!
It split into two, then four...
In a moment, eighty-one lightning-flashing precious swords materialized in the air!
The eighty-one streaks of lightning shot out in unison, fiercely slashing towards the demoness!
"Crack! Crack! Crack!..."
Under the erosion of the lightning, the black energy and energy tendrils on the demoness grew dimmer and dimmer!
Finally!
With the strike of the last sword light, the black energy and energy tethers on the demoness completely vanished!
At this moment, she looked like just a beautiful woman, with none of her former terrifying aura!
The eighty-one flying swords merged into one and slashed fiercely towards the woman!
"Plop—!"
"Plop—!"
"Plop—!"
...
The Great Elder and the disciples of the Formation Hall all collapsed on the ground, panting continuously.
In terms of fear, they were no less afraid than the disciples who had died.
They had persevered solely on the will to survive.
Now that the crisis was over, that will instantly collapsed.
Their bodies were tired and sore.
But thankfully, everything was about to end...
After unleashing the attack, the Holy Master also landed on the ground.
The ultimate move had consumed too much of his energy, and he could barely stand now.
Just then.
An unforeseen event occurred!
The precious sword stopped three inches from the woman, unable to advance any further!
"Swoosh!"
With a casual wave of her hand, the woman shattered the sword into pieces!
"This is impossible!" the Holy Master exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost, "I've clearly restored the seal, why are you still..."
The woman walked slowly towards the Holy Master.
Her steps were light.
Yet, these light steps felt like heavy hammers, smashing relentlessly into the Holy Master's despairing heart...
"Speaking of which, I should thank you," the woman said with a slight smile after reaching him, "It was a bit troublesome for me to get rid of those things originally, but you helped me a lot."
The Holy Master and the others' hearts chilled completely...
So, those black tendrils were restraints...
How ridiculous that they mistook them for her source of power...
"The reason I didn't kill you earlier was simply because I wanted you to experience despair, just as your ancestors did to me!" the woman slowly raised her right hand, and a layer of black energy surged out from within her.
As the woman's words fell.
The black energy condensed into a giant black hand, pressing down towards the Holy Master and the others.
Then, the woman gently clenched her right fist.
No screams.
No struggles.
Everything ended just like that.
...
With a wave of her hand, a surge of black demonic energy pulled Ye Fan, who was in the distance, over.
"Earlier, everyone else was fleeing for their lives, yet you remained indifferent," the demoness said indifferently, "You aren't afraid of me?"
"No, I'm not," Ye Fan replied calmly, even taking another bite of his watermelon.
Afraid of her?!
What a joke!
She was so badass earlier, he couldn't help but like her!
He just hoped she would be powerful enough later to cause a significant loss to that damned system!
"Come on, kill me," Ye Fan closed his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm ready."
The woman gave Ye Fan a strange look.
"You can go."
"You're not going to kill me?" Ye Fan was stunned.
What?
You're a great demon, shouldn't you just end me on the spot?
What was the meaning of letting him go like this?
You're embarrassing the people of the demonic path, you know?!
"We have no grievances or enmity, why would I kill you?" the demoness replied calmly, "You can go."
Ye Fan felt a massive "WTF" inside him!
The script was wrong!
No, he had to do something!
"Little girl, speaking of which, you're quite good-looking and have a great figure," Ye Fan put on a lecherous expression and rubbed his hands together, "How about we find a quiet place to have a good discussion about life?"
Those who practiced the demonic path had only cultivated demonic techniques.
In essence, they were no different from ordinary cultivators; they were all human.
If he openly teased her like this, she surely wouldn't tolerate it, right?!
She wouldn't tolerate it, so she would surely deal with him, right?!
Hurry up, quickly!
He couldn't wait anymore!
Ye Fan's words indeed had an effect.
The woman stared coldly at Ye Fan.
"With your small physique, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it," the woman said faintly, her tone devoid of emotion. "I don't know why you're trying to provoke me. If you want to die, then go die somewhere else. I'm too lazy to bother with you."
Ye Fan: ...
Damn it!
What the hell...
...
After speaking, the woman ignored Ye Fan and turned around to release demonic energy onto the charred remains on the ground.
The black demonic energy swirled around the remains, quickly refining them.
She had been sealed underground for so long that she was very weak now.
And the physical bodies of these cultivators were exactly what she needed to replenish herself.
Just as the hundreds of corpse remnants were about to be refined.
[Holy crap, she's stealing my food!]
[You all saw it, she made the first move!]
As the system's voice fell, a thick golden light shot out from Ye Fan's chest.
The woman's expression changed, and she hurriedly urged her demonic energy to defend!
However, she was a step too late.
The golden light transformed into a rope, instantly binding the demoness tightly!
The woman immediately felt a jolt!
She desperately urged her demonic energy, trying to break free from the golden rope's restraint.
However, it was useless.
The more she struggled, the tighter the golden rope bound her!
In a short while, she was struggling to breathe.
Although the golden rope was an energy illusion, its effect was no different from a real rope.
Her clothes were digging into her flesh, and her beautiful curves were almost distorted by the tightness!
What terrified her even more was that the demonic energy within her seemed to be sealed, and she couldn't mobilize it at all!
The woman finally stopped struggling.
Firstly, she couldn't.
Secondly, she dared not.
...
"You scoundrel..." the woman glared at Ye Fan fiercely, "We have no grievances or enmity, why are you doing this to me!"
Anger and shame caused a flush to spread across her face.
Ye Fan glanced at the golden rope around the woman's body and secretly swallowed.
Holy crap!
This damned system is playing dirty!
This thing probably watches a lot of adult movies usually, right?
It's way too provocative!
