Chapter 916: with translation of chapter title

Liu Junyan, however, directly cut off the source.

Although the War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense has completely dissipated, the Xuètóng Hānsī is also basically ruined.

Now its only chance to escape is to use the backlash of the formation array to push the blood mist outward without limit.

The farther the blood mist can reach, the greater the damage; all living beings within the affected range will become sustenance for the Xuètóng Hānsī, and the more sustenance it receives, the faster it recovers.

As long as it gets a little more sustenance, it can escape smoothly.

If it hides in a remote corner and waits a few hundred or even a thousand years, it might still have a chance to make a comeback.

But before the blood mist could even travel two li, a strong gust of wind suddenly chased up from behind, accompanied by an intimidating chill.

The Xuètóng Hānsī couldn't help but look back, but saw nothing.

It knows in its heart that at such a moment, every glance back, every second of delay, could be fatal for it.

But that force behind it comes with overwhelming momentum, leaving it utterly unable to ignore.

The more uncertain it is, the more panicked it becomes, and the more it wants to turn back to confirm.

Three seconds!

Only a brief three seconds, and at the moment the Xuètóng Hānsī looked back for the second time, it already knew its situation was hopeless.

Behind it, the rolling blood mist suddenly stopped moving.

Those blood mists were originally the Xuètóng Hānsī's protective barrier, yet that vast expanse of blood mist inexplicably condensed into ice… and remained still.

Yet in the air there remained an invisible force continually pressing forward.

The Xuètóng Hānsī cannot see that force, but it can feel it.

Wherever that force passes, all the blood mist instantly freezes.

A breeze sweeps by, and it shatters with a clatter all over the ground.

When the blood mist had been condensed into ice and then completely shattered, the Xuètóng Hānsī saw further back a familiar woman's silhouette standing straight there, while she continuously formed hand seals, simultaneously unleashing the Mòyù Bānzhǐ, and the Five-Colored Earth kept layering over from the direction where the white bone shrine had been destroyed.

Wherever the Five-Colored Earth passed, the bloody killing qi on the blood-soaked ground vanished completely, and the barren land turned into fertile black soil.

Soon, this impoverished, blood-soaked land will bloom with vivid flowers again.

And this Xuètóng Hānsī… will eventually vanish completely from this world.

When that intimidating chill clung on and a layer of frost formed on the surface of the giant blood eye, the Xuètóng Hānsī finally saw clearly who was condensing the blood mist.

It was precisely the hornless Chishe!

The giant blood eye stubbornly wanted to blink, but found it could not move at all.

The frost that had just been a thin layer on the eye socket had already turned into sharp ice cones, spreading bit by bit into the interior of the blood eye.

The entire blood eye was frozen solid, unable to blink even once.

The Chishe emerged from its hidden state, became a hornless Chishe, then transformed again into the likeness of a five- or six-year-old child.

The child grinned widely, showing big teeth, excitedly saying: "Those two inner cores were truly a great boon—not only did they awaken the Chishe's Shadow Flash and Frost Soul Lock dual skills, but they also let me assume human form—how wonderful!"

Then, with a hint of disdain, he patted his own little arms and legs: "Too bad I only managed to appear as a five- or six-year-old kid, sigh."

The Chishe then turned its gaze to the completely frozen giant blood eye, suddenly stuck out its forked scarlet tongue and licked its lips; in those eyes that still looked rather childish, a gleam of greed clearly flickered.

When the Xuètóng Hānsī met the Chishe's gaze, its heart turned completely cold.

At that moment, the only thought in its mind was: "He wants to devour me!"

Yes, the Chishe indeed wanted to swallow the Xuètóng Hānsī in one gulp.

But it restrained itself.

The Chishe knew full well that without Lord Liu Qiye's dual grand formations and his support, without the Earth Deity Maiden's early efforts, without her backing him now, and without the fierce assault of War God Bai Qi's spiritual sense, relying solely on this little cultivation and skill of his, even ten of him would not be enough for the Xuètóng Hānsī to swallow.

So even though the Xuètóng Hānsī is now under his control, the Chishe merely stands guard, waiting for Lord Liu Qiye and the Earth Deity Maiden to come and finish the job.

The Chishe thought they would probably lock up the Xuètóng Hānsī and send it to the Nether Realm for interrogation and sentencing.

That would be the proper procedure.

But the Chishe never expected that the first thing Xiao Jiu would do upon arriving was to strike that giant blood eye with a single palm and split it apart!

Indeed, without hesitation!

Poor the frozen Xuètóng Hānsī, under Xiao Jiu's palm wind it simply turned into countless shards of ice.

That still wasn't enough.

Xiao Jiu then unleashed several clumps of Nirvana fire, scorching those ice fragments.

At the same time, she used the Mòyù Bānzhǐ and Five-Colored Earth to repair the surrounding land.

Only when the ice shards of the Xuètóng Hānsī were completely destroyed, down to the last speck, did Xiao Jiu lower her hands.

The Chishe couldn't help but ask: "You… you doing this, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the higher-ups?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Jiu suddenly realized.

Oh right.

Now she is a female official, tasked with apprehending ancient fiends; she ought to report to her superiors for a final decision.

Xiao Jiu scratched her head and said: "I'm used to it—kill it and be done with it, to eliminate future trouble; if the higher-ups blame me, well… well, I'll just forgo any reward."

Slaying such a huge Xuètóng Hānsī, she may have no merit, but she certainly put in the effort, right?

Moreover, she has regained the ability to use the Five-Colored Earth.

Even if the higher-ups are utterly unsympathetic, they wouldn't punish her, would they?

The Chishe shrugged and said: "As long as you're happy, that's fine."

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but rub the Chishe's little head—this little guy is sometimes slippery, sometimes old-fashioned, quite amusing.

Liu Junyan also rushed over.

Only to see his right hand pause in midair, make a pulling motion, and shortly thereafter a blood-red pearl condensed in his palm.

The Chishe exclaimed in delight: "It's the Corpse Pill of the Xuètóng Hānsī!"

He didn't expect that the Xuètóng Hānsī's Corpse Pill was still there.

The Xuètóng Hānsī is an ancient ferocious killer, with profound cultivation; it should have already refined a Corpse Pill.

It has been living by Parasitic Dwelling, so the Chishe assumed its Corpse Pill no longer existed.

At this moment, seeing the bright red blood-colored Corpse Pill in Liu Junyan's palm, the Chishe's drool was about to fall.

Want to swallow it.

But he had just obtained one essence soul and two internal elixirs; this blood-colored Corpse Pill... probably wouldn't be given to him.

Being human... being a snake, one must not be too greedy.

He silently swallowed his drool and turned his head aside.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Just then, he heard Liu Junyan ask, "Can you swallow it?"

The Chishe thought, surely she was asking the Earth Deity Maiden.

But he didn't expect Xiao Jiu to poke his chubby shoulder: "Kid, I'm asking you! This blood-colored Corpse Pill has strong corpse poison; can you digest it? If you can't..."

"I can digest it!" the Chishe hurriedly said, "The toxicity of my Chishe venom is far greater than that of this blood-colored Corpse Pill; I can swallow and digest it, just need a little time."
