94: Chapter 94 Ji Xingyue's Abnormality

The dim City Lord's Manor.

In Fengdu City, this was the most terrifying place.

Ye Xiu stepped closer to the main gate and peeked through the crack; the spacious courtyard showed no signs of anything unusual.

Yet a faint sense of unease in his heart made him feel that this place was not as safe as it appeared on the surface.

This massive manor,

was like a hunting Vicious Beast, showing no sign of danger while waiting for its prey.

But the more it was like this,

the more intense the unease in Ye Xiu's heart became.

He remained silent for a long time.

Only then did he slowly push open the gate and, with a touch of solemnity, begin to explore inside.

Clang...

The gate behind him closed automatically.

Having walked only a few meters, Ye Xiu's expression suddenly turned somewhat grim.

The air of Fengdu City was filled with ominous qi.

It made him afraid to take to the air lightly, lest he attract some unknown, terrifying thing.

And this City Lord's Manor was even more so.

The ominous qi in the air had already overwhelmed all the bizarre rules, causing the originally black mist in the sky to be stained with a thick gray.

Suddenly.

As Ye Xiu walked cautiously, he suddenly threw a punch to his left.

Puchi...

In the dim courtyard, a humanoid monster with a tail was sent flying, coughing up blood from the punch.

The monster seemed to have no physical form.

The moment it hit the ground, it immediately turned into a wisp of ominous qi and dissolved into the gray-black mist above.

"There is great terror here."

Ye Xiu became increasingly solemn. He crossed the courtyard, went over a gate-wall, and entered the inner courtyard, which was still the same as the outer courtyard.

It looked ordinary on the surface, but if one took a wrong step,

a terrifying monster would immediately appear out of thin air. Even with Ye Xiu's formidable strength, it would otherwise be difficult to withstand those immortal monsters condensed from ominous qi.

Rule Flower?

Looking at the black flowers in the inner courtyard.

There was a hint of curiosity on Ye Xiu's face; these flowers were identical to those blooming in the small courtyard on the street earlier.

Could there be a connection?

He did not pick the flower lightly, but leaned in close to observe it at short range.

Beneath the black flowers were hideous and terrifying human faces; if one didn't look closely, they were quite easy to overlook.

As the yin wind blew,

faint wails emanated from the flowers.

Those human faces seemed to be suffering endless torture, letting out shrill wails as the flowers swayed.

"There certainly are a lot of ghostly things here."

Ye Xiu passed through the inner courtyard and arrived in the main hall. The scene before him gave his heart a slight shock.

A Divine Statue stood in the center of the hall.

In front of the statue, a figure surrounded by black Qi was frantically absorbing the power from the statue.

The figure's face could not be seen clearly.

But from the figure, it could be seen that it was a woman.

Faint spatial ripples stirred slightly as the power was absorbed.

Revealing the appearance of the woman within the black mist.

Ji Xingyue!

Ye Xiu frowned.

At this moment, Ji Xingyue's state was very wrong. Her originally incomparably holy aura was actually very Yaomei at this time.

What's the situation?

He was somewhat surprised and spoke, attempting to wake her.

"Young Miss Xingyue!"

As his voice fell,

the spatial barrier froze slightly.

That extremely Yaomei Ji Xingyue opened her eyes. They weren't the familiar Double Pupils, but gray pupils filled with ominousness.

She looked at Ye Xiu.

The ominous qi in her eyes became increasingly dense.

Die!

As the crisp voice fell,

the hall shook, and countless monsters manifested. They roared and began to charge toward Ye Xiu.

Not Ji Xingyue?

Ye Xiu's brows furrowed tightly as a golden barrier instantly enveloped him.

Yang Power erupted.

Dozens of golden chains condensed in his hands.

Looking at the immortal monsters charging at him,

he swung the chains in a sweep, instantly trapping all the monsters.

The Yaomei Ji Xingyue still wanted to make a move.

But Ye Xiu shouted first, "Playing the ghost, die!"

[Heavenly Emperor Fist] erupted.

A terrifying fist light lit up in Fengdu City.

The ominous qi above began to retreat, as if the power within the fist light was something they feared.

Boom...

The City Lord's Manor shook violently.

As the smoke cleared, most areas of the City Lord's Manor had been destroyed by the [Heavenly Emperor Fist], revealing many horrifying sights.

Such as hanging red coffins, armor that could walk without a body, horrors composed of countless eyeballs...

These bizarre monsters.

Even within the light of the [Heavenly Emperor Fist], they were not affected in the slightest.

Ye Xiu looked at this scene.

Cold sweat poured down.

He no longer cared about the ominousness above; he took flight and charged straight out of the City Lord's Manor.

Fortunately, the fist light just now had dispersed much of the ominous qi, allowing the flying Ye Xiu to avoid facing those unknown monsters for now.

"Ye Xiu..."

The Divine Statue in the hall shattered.

The Yaomei Ji Xingyue gradually recovered, and those gray pupils turned into Double Pupils.

Space vibrated.

Having returned to normal, Ji Xingyue immediately tore through space.

She reached out and grabbed, instantly crushing the space where Ye Xiu was. Holding the shocked Ye Xiu, she stepped out of Fengdu City.

Wuwu...

As the two disappeared,

a strange sound rang out within the City Lord's Manor.

Fengdu City was trembling, as if some terrifying monster was about to awaken.

"Quick, let's go."

Ji Xingyue pulled Ye Xiu, breaking through layers of space, and immediately disappeared from the Small World.

At the very moment they left,

a terrifying roar resounded through the heavens and earth.

ominous qi erupted, sweeping through the entire Small World.

Beneath Fengdu City.

There was a terrifying monster trying to break free.

Boom...

Countless Divine Statues began to flicker with black radiance.

This radiance surged into Fengdu City, and together with the shattered Divine Statue, began to suppress the monster underground once again.

"You... won't... be... able... to stop... me... for... long..."

A vicious roar emanated from underground. As Fengdu City stabilized again, the movement underground also vanished.

This Small World.

Once again returned to its previous state of tranquility.

...

...

Above the sea.

With a ripple in space, two figures appeared instantly.

"General Ye, thank you for saving my life this time." Ji Xingyue bowed slightly, a hint of struggle appearing in her Double Pupils.

"Are you alright?"

Ye Xiu saw that something was wrong with Ji Xingyue; it was as if two different emotions were appearing in the girl, and her aura was somewhat strange.

"This little girl was too overconfident; some powers should not have been absorbed so hastily."

After Ji Xingyue finished speaking,

a Yaomei aura suddenly emerged from her body.

Her Double Pupils flickered.

A terrifying power was gradually being forced out of her body by her.

Hu...

Fierce winds rose everywhere.

The Yaomei aura on Ji Xingyue's body rose rapidly.

"Are you really okay?"

Beside her, Ye Xiu wanted to help, terrifying Yang Power already gathering in his hands.

"It's fine, just a Demon Body; I'll just force it out."

Ji Xingyue smiled faintly.

On her pretty face where holiness and Yaomei coexisted, there was an indescribable eeriness.

Boom...

As the words fell,

an illusory figure separated from her body.

Once it left the body, the illusory figure instantly solidified, looking exactly like the previous Yaomei version of Ji Xingyue.

"Heehee... Sister, wouldn't it be great if we stayed together..."

It spoke, with a hint of provocation.

"Die!"

Amidst the flickering of the Double Pupils,

space shattered, revealing a world of dark void.

The Yaomei Ji Xingyue wanted to resist.

But at this moment, the time of the entire world had come to a direct halt.

Boom...

A massive suction appeared, and the immobile Yaomei figure was immediately pulled into the void.
