Sha Hong’s body was surrounded by bursts of true energy, her cultivation reaching the middle stage of the Huashen period.
Her features were once charming and alluring, but at this moment her eyes were wide open, bulging with bloodshot redness, and coupled with her ferocious expression, she appeared truly terrifying.
Fang Yu looked at Sha Hong, frowning slightly.
The pill Shahong had just swallowed was something that most disciples of evil cultivation sects would carry with them.
This kind of elixir is known as a Burning Spirit Pill in the cultivation world.
Burning Spirit Pill, as its name suggests, comes at the cost of burning one’s internal spiritual energy to drastically increase cultivation in a short period of time.
The spiritual energy here refers not only to the spiritual energy absorbed during cultivation, but also to the spiritual energy that has been integrated into the body. For cultivators, burning this spiritual energy will not only lead to a decline in cultivation base, but also a significant reduction in lifespan!
Simply put, the burning of Rejuvenating Pills is the burning of life force.
“Such a good girl, how could she be corrupted by the demonic sect into this state…” Lin Baitai shook his head and said, “Although the righteous alliance of those days was utterly useless, their joint encirclement and suppression of the demonic sect wasn’t wrong.”
“Roar…”
A surge of true energy rose into the air!
Under Lin Batian’s feet, a ring of fire appeared and rapidly swept upwards, forming a pillar of fire!
A scorching heat filled the entire third floor.
Lin Batian stood between the pillars of fire, gently waving a paper fan in his hand.
“Whew…”
A gust of wind swept up, instantly scattering the flames.
A golden fire wave, over two meters high, surged towards Sha Hong!
“Boom!”
The raging energy blast sent the fire wolf scattering instantly.
The already dilapidated building collapsed in that instant!
Just like a precision bomb, the entire building collapsed with a deafening roar!
As the rubble began to fall, Fang Yu leaped out of the building.
And the subordinate who lay limp on the ground was struck in the head by a falling piece of stone, letting out a shriek as his skull cracked open.
Sha Hong emanated a layer of true qi, deflecting the falling rubble and charging towards Lin Batten on the opposite side!
Her figure was like a ghost, elusive and hard to catch sight of!
In an instant, she appeared behind Lin Baitian, extending her right hand with long, sharp nails, and striking his nape.
Lin Batten was like he had no consciousness, not reacting at all.
“Hahaha…”
Sari gave out a terrifying, bloodthirsty laugh. With her right hand, she slammed it onto Lin Baitian’s head and gripped tightly!
Lin Batian’s entire body exploded, blood splattering everywhere.
At the same time, the entire building collapsed.
Scarlet threads shot out from the dust cloud, floating in mid-air. She looked down and laughed wildly.
After taking the Burning Spirit Pill, the rage and killing intent in her heart completely erupted, leaving little rationality in her brain.
At this point, she was essentially a killing machine with no capacity for thought.
She gets incredibly excited whenever she sees blood.
…while Lin Batian had just been beaten to a pulp by her with a single slap! …
“Whoosh!”
Just as Shan Hong was laughing, a faint rustling sound suddenly reached her ears.
“Let you feel the real glow.”
Just now slapped to pieces by her, Lin Baitai appeared above Sa Hong’s head, his left hand gripping the wrist of his right hand, while his right palm was facing down at Sa Hong.
“Huan Guang, begin.”
Lin Batian’s eyes flashed with blue light, and in the palm of his right hand, a powerful ball of true qi condensed.
“Boom!”
This aura hasn’t even been released, just condensing, and it already caused a boom in the void!
“Watch out, don’t kill her.” Fang Yu whispered to Lin Batian at this moment.
Lin Batian’s face changed slightly, and he only then remembered this. The energy in his right palm suddenly retracted.
For ordinary cultivators, this practice of half-heartedly gathering their strength is extremely dangerous. It could very well cause the true qi in their meridians to reverse flow, resulting in severe damage to their 元 Qi, and in the worst cases, even leading to their bodies exploding.
But Lin Batian’s control over true qi had long reached the state of transformation, so he did not suffer backlash.
However, just during this hesitation, Sha Hong below reacted quickly and swiftly dodged out of Lin Batian’s palm.
“Can you let me know in advance next time?” Lin Batian said helplessly to Fang Yu.
“Let’s make quick work of this and not waste time,” Fang Yu said.
“I was just about to finish the fight, if it weren’t for you…” Lin Batian was saying this, when Sasha red charged at him again.
Lin Baitian turned his head and looked at Shahong who was rushing towards him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
“If you’re going to capture him alive, just tie him up.”
Lin Batian threw the paper fan in his hand towards Sha Hong.
Sha Hong didn’t have time to dodge and ran straight into the paper fan!
“Bang!”
This paper fan is not as light as it appears! With this one bump, Sahong felt like she hit an extremely solid mountain. Her entire body ached, her bones feeling like they were shattered!
At the same time, the paper fan glimmered and transformed into strands of rope, binding Shāhóng’s limbs.
After being wound several times by the glowing rope, the true energy within Sahong was completely forced back into her body, unable to be released.
“Ah…”
Sha Hong roared in fury, struggling against the ropes, but to no avail. She plummeted downwards, crashing onto the rubble below.
Lin Batian descended from the sky, Fang Yu leaping in from behind.
Two people stood before Sahong, who was bound and lying on the ground. They looked down at her from above.
“Ask away,” Lin Batian walked to the side.
Fang Yu stepped forward, looking at Sha Hong with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression, frowning slightly.
In this state, it is impossible to ask anything at all.
Fang Yu directly stretched out his finger and pointed it at Sahara’s forehead.
Sharon let out a crazed scream, but she was still completely unable to move.
When Fang Yu’s fingertips shimmered with light, Sha Hong trembled and her expression went blank.
Fang Yu’s divine sense successfully entered into Sha Hong’s soul.
But Fang Yu only saw a pitch black.
Just like the last time with Lao Ba, these memories seem to be deliberately hidden away.
…This hiding is not because any restrictions have been set within the spirit’s essence, but rather at the level of this person’s memory, this segment of memory itself is missing. …
This situation is very strange, it’s obviously intentional by a demonic cult, but there’s no way to solve it.
Mere consciousness cannot delve into the depths of a person’s memory.
Fang Yu withdrew his divine sense and stood up, his brows furrowed.
After Fang Yu’s soul-capturing technique just now, Shahong seems to have recovered her sanity.
She looked at Fang Yu in front of her, then at Lin Baitai standing beside him, her eyes full of astonishment.
Now, she is completely under control.
Unable to release true energy, unable to move.
She never expected that after taking the Burning Spirit Pill and her cultivation soared to the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Period, she would still not be a match for the two people in front of her.
Fang Yu didn’t even make a move… And Lin Batian easily controlled her.
After regaining her composure, Shahong realized that Lin Batian and Fang Yu before her were not in the same league as her in terms of strength.
The strength of these two individuals might have already reached the level of the hall master.
“Spare my life, and I will do anything for you.” Faced with death, Shahong unhesitatingly abandoned her dignity.
For her, tonight was an unexpected turn of events.
As long as she could survive, she would always find an opportunity for revenge.
“I don’t need you to work like a horse or a donkey, just answer me one question.” Fang Yu said.
“What’s the problem?” asked Shahong, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
“Ye Shengxue’s matter, is it related to your Demon Sect after all?” Fang Yu stared at Sha Hong’s face and said.
“I’ve never heard that name before,” Shuhong replied.
Her expression was natural and she didn’t look like she was lying.
Now, Fang Yu is basically certain that Ye Shengxue’s disappearance has nothing to do with the Devil Cult.
“I have a question too. Where is the headquarters of the Demon Sect?” Lin Batten asked.
Upon hearing this, Sahong’s face changed slightly, she closed her mouth and remained silent.
Before achieving great success, the Demonic Cult, such as this heretical sect, must absolutely keep its location secret. Otherwise, it will face many troubles.
Every member who joins the cult of demons has taken an oath and bears a mark left by their superior.
Anyone who violates the rules will have their inner mark activated, resulting in immediate execution!
