Chapter 225: Origin Power

The Nether Umbrella sensed that its master was in danger and flew back with a "swoosh," protecting Lin Qingyue's head.

Dongfang Qi wanted to save Lin Qingyue, but the surrounding puppets rushed over like a tide, quickly pushing the distance between the two further and further apart.

"Yueyue!" In his anxiety, Dongfang Qi continuously swung his sword to hack at the puppets in front of him.

But just as he hacked down a batch, more puppets filled in. They couldn't be killed or hacked down, and he could only watch helplessly as Lin Qingyue was surrounded by puppets.

"Zheng Linggui, if you have the ability, come out, don't hide!" Dongfang Qi hacked off a puppet with his sword, and rotten blood splashed all over his face.

Zheng Linggui, hiding in the dark, saw that the time was ripe and turned into a wisp of light smoke, quietly gathering above Lin Qingyue.

Looking down from a high position, she could clearly see a large amount of red blood overflowing from under Lin Qingyue's body.

The red umbrella that was protecting her also fell powerlessly because it lost the support of its master's spiritual power, covering half of Lin Qingyue's body.

And those puppets, feeling that the surrounding barrier had been removed, bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced toward Lin Qingyue's body, trying to tear her apart and eat her.

The time was ripe!

Zheng Linggui's soul gathered into form, grabbing ahead of those puppets, and with lightning speed, attached itself to Lin Qingyue's body.

For so many years, she had always been looking for a suitable body for herself.

Unfortunately, the bodies of ordinary humans were too weak and could not withstand her powerful soul power at all.

Lin Qingyue's appearance, although it surprised her a bit, she had to admit that Lin Qingyue's body, which had been cultivated and nourished by her soul, was simply an ideal vessel.

As long as she had this body, she could break away from being a ghost cultivator, and from then on, stand openly under the sun, becoming a god worshipped by the world!

However, when this soul remained on Lin Qingyue's body, it found that it could not enter no matter what.

When she discovered that the situation was wrong and wanted to escape, she heard Lin Qingyue's playful voice in her ear: "You really took the bait."

The next moment, countless golden lights shone from Lin Qingyue's body, weaving into a spiritual net, firmly trapping Zheng Linggui's soul within it.

Zheng Linggui's soul bumped around in the net, trying to rush out from inside but failing.

And those puppets, because Zheng Linggui was too busy to care about them, lost their attack power and stood blankly in place like wood.

"Don't waste your effort, you can't rush out. This is a spiritual net condensed from my Origin Power, woven specifically for you." Lin Qingyue held her chest and stood up shakily.

She knew that with Zheng Linggui's greed, she would definitely covet her body.

So Lin Qingyue deliberately revealed a flaw, letting herself be injured by the puppets.

Just to make it more realistic, her injury was real, and the blood that flowed out was also real.

To catch Zheng Linggui, she even used her Origin Power.

At this moment, although she seemed to have the upper hand, she was already at the end of her rope.

"Yueyue!" Dongfang Qi teleported to Lin Qingyue's side and supported her, "How are you?"

The situation was urgent just now, and Lin Qingyue had no time to discuss too much with Dongfang Qi. Just by exchanging a look, Dongfang Qi guessed her intention.

But before he could say much, Lin Qingyue had already fallen. Dongfang Qi was worried, but could only bite the bullet and cooperate with the acting.

And at this moment, seeing Lin Qingyue's pale face, the blood from the wound had soaked the clothes on her chest.

He hurriedly stepped forward and sealed several major acupuncture points on Lin Qingyue to stop the bleeding.

Lin Qingyue said: "Don't worry, it's just a little blood, it's nothing."

Zheng Linggui in the spiritual net laughed when she saw this: "You indeed won't die from losing a little blood, but you used your Origin Power! Origin Power is closely related to your main soul. It might not affect your soul for a while, but the more you use it, the more severe the consumption, and your soul will also be damaged."

"For the sake of catching me, the Demon Monarch is actually willing to perish together, hahaha... It really doesn't waste the friendship of classmates back then."

"What?" Dongfang Qi panicked instantly when he heard this, "So, you used your Origin Power just to perish together with her?"

Lin Qingyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled lightly: "I should have died three thousand years ago; it's a stroke of luck to live another life, and to be able to remove a scourge, it's not a loss."

Dongfang Qi said: "What do you mean not a loss? Take back your Origin Power, take it back quickly!"

"Dongfang Qi!" Lin Qingyue coughed, more blood overflowing from her lips, and she became weaker and weaker, almost unable to stand.

Dongfang Qi hugged her tightly, anxiously persuading: "Stop, I beg you to take back your Origin Power! Let's think of other ways, there must be other ways to kill her, you can't sacrifice your own life, Yueyue!"

Lin Qingyue: "There is no other way besides this. Dongfang Qi, have I never told you about my background?"

Dongfang Qi shook his head anxiously: "Don't speak, I don't want to know your background either. I just want you to live well, no matter what you want to do, I will accompany you. Live well, don't give up, don't give up your life for that kind of dirty thing. Yueyue, I beg you!"

By the end, his voice was choked with sobs.

Lin Qingyue said: "Actually, I am the Demon Monarch from three thousand years ago, who borrowed a corpse to resurrect and became the Lin Qingyue you know later. So, no one knows better than me how harmful the blind worship of divine power is. And no one knows Zheng Linggui's strength better than me."

"She is a remnant of the Immortal Cultivation World, and after a thousand years of cultivation, she has absorbed a large amount of faith power. Besides my Origin Power, there is no other way to kill her."

"Dongfang Qi, why are you crying? A real man, crying and howling, what kind of decorum is that? Let me tell you, I was originally an Empress ruling one side. If I lived in the Qi Kingdom, maybe one day on a whim, I would have worn the yellow robe and declared myself Emperor. At that time, you, the Crown Prince, would have to stand aside. So... cough, cough, cough..."

She coughed up a lot of blood again, and Dongfang Qi used his sleeve to wipe away the bloodstains over and over again, but he couldn't wipe them clean.

"Don't say anymore, Yueyue, sit down, I'll think of a way. I won't let you die!"

He helped Lin Qingyue sit down and picked up his sword again.

"Don't waste your effort, sit down and talk to me. We were friends after all, accompany me on my final journey." Lin Qingyue wanted to pull his robe, but the robe slipped from her palm, leaving only a handful of fresh bloodstains.

Lin Qingyue then discovered that Dongfang Qi's clothes were also soaked with blood. It was just that he was wearing red clothes, so it wasn't obvious.

She couldn't help but miss his appearance in white, like an immortal. ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
