In the dark forest.
A massive dark giant, five meters tall, took heavy steps toward Ouyang Yunzhi!
Its body remained a mass of limp mud.
With each step, it swung from side to side, as if it were an underinflated doll.
Seeing this.
Ouyang Yunzhi’s eyes turned cold, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest!
Immediately, her robes billowed!
A sacred aura suddenly descended!
After gathering energy, she pushed toward the Evil Spirit!
A vast beam of Spiritual Qi blasted out!
Piercing straight through the Evil Spirit!
"Roar!"
The Evil Spirit let out a piercing scream, startling the jungle!
Then.
It unexpectedly fell down!
"Did we win?!"
The two small trinkets hanging on Sikong Yun were now showing expressions of joy!
"Not that easy..."
But Ouyang Yunzhi’s stunning face still remained icy cold.
The shattered mud on the ground.
Now surged and transformed, gradually forming the shape of a beast!
Its four limbs touched the ground.
Still wobbling, it ran a few steps, then leaped up!
Flying towards Ouyang Yunzhi!
In mid-air!
The Evil Spirit opened its gaping bloody mouth!
Growing larger and larger!
Until it covered the sky and sun!
Swallowing the golden-light-covered Ouyang Yunzhi in one gulp!
Then.
The Evil Spirit turned back into a giant form.
Standing in place.
Seemingly digesting.
"Captain!"
Xu Bing’s eyes were wide with fear as he called out in shock!
But!
The Evil Spirit suddenly froze in its motions!
The next moment!
A dazzling golden light shot out from the Evil Spirit’s abdomen!
Then suddenly exploded!
Ouyang Yunzhi’s figure flew out from it!
Yet at this moment.
The light around her had dimmed considerably.
Her pristine white martial attire was now stained with patches of black mud!
She landed on the ground!
Stumbling back a few steps.
Until she was half-kneeling on the ground, clutching her chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Her face instantly turned several shades paler:
"It’s a pity, even though the Sacred Body has awakened, I couldn’t condense Second-Level Spiritual Qi..."
The mud clinging to her.
Had eaten through her waist, legs, and the back of her clothes, leaving gaps!
Exposing large areas of her snow-white skin!
And the mud gradually turned into black smoke.
Seeping into her body without leaving a trace.
Devouring her meridians.
Destroying her foundation.
She could feel it.
Her aura was steadily declining!
It’s estimated.
The state of the Martial Arts Sacred Body wouldn’t last much longer!
She turned her gaze to Xu Bing and the others!
Then.
She struck with one hand!
Using the remaining power of the Martial Arts Sacred Body!
Precisely slammed into Sikong Yun!
"Ah!"
Sikong Yun let out a wail!
From his body, black smoke rose!
And the black smoke dispersed within the golden light!
Sikong Yun finally stopped moving.
His body went limp, and he fell to the ground!
Xu Bing and Song Feng both breathed a sigh of relief.
But the light on Ouyang Yunzhi grew even dimmer!
Flickering as if it might vanish at any moment!
"Quickly, take him away!"
She lowered her head, speaking to Xu Bing with a tired voice.
Xu Bing turned to Song Feng and said:
"I’ll stay with the captain to hold off the Evil Spirit! You take Sikong Yun to a safe place, get the team here!"
"Alright!"
Song Feng gritted his teeth and agreed!
Because he knew, Xu Bing’s Combat Power far surpassed his own!
Her staying was more valuable than him!
So.
He carried the unconscious Sikong Yun on his back.
Running towards the Jinxiu Yunju District!
"Captain! I’ll help you!"
Xu Bing rushed to Ouyang Yunzhi’s side, ready to support her weakened body!
Ouyang Yunzhi, however, said:
"Don’t touch the mud on me! You can’t resist the Evil Qi!"
At this moment!
The recovering Evil Spirit suddenly rose from the ground!
Transforming mid-air into a long worm of sludge!
Charging straight for Ouyang Yunzhi!
"Watch out!"
Xu Bing hurriedly released her Spiritual Qi!
Clashing with the long worm!
Perhaps her Spiritual Qi still had traces of Second-Level Spiritual Qi!
This time!
It managed to hold off the Evil Spirit in the distance!
Seeing this, Ouyang Yunzhi!
Also harnessed her strength, releasing a radiant golden light towards the Evil Spirit!
Forcing the Evil Spirit back slightly.
But from her mouth, fresh blood began to flow.
Both sides seemed to be in a stalemate!
Yet at this moment!
The Evil Spirit released a wave of malevolent aura, following their Spiritual Qi and swiftly attacking them!
About to penetrate their bodies!
"Watch out!"
Seeing this, Ouyang Yunzhi hastily withdrew her Spiritual Qi and pushed Xu Bing away!
But the Evil Spirit charged forward!
Crashing hard into Ouyang Yunzhi!
Bang!
"Ugh!"
Ouyang Yunzhi’s body was slammed back into the air!
In mid-air!
The golden light around her completely vanished!
Her hair shortened!
Her form shrank!
Suddenly returning to her appearance before awakening the Martial Arts Sacred Body!
Even her clothes!
All shattered!
Leaving only a few shreds of fabric, trembling as they clung to her fair skin!
In her waistbelt were a pile of miscellaneous gear!
They all fell out!
Scattered all around!
"Captain!"
Seeing Ouyang Yunzhi fall to the ground, motionless!
Xu Bing was shocked!
At this moment.
The Evil Spirit wriggled again, forming the shape of a giant.
It staggered towards Xu Bing!
Intending to eliminate this especially annoying existence!
"Damn it!"
Xu Bing released her Spiritual Qi, attacking the giant!
Pop!
A soft sound!
The giant instantly exploded, mud splattering everywhere!
However!
It seemed as if each puddle of mud turned into an individual Evil Spirit!
They were densely packed like a swarm of tiny spiders!
Brandishing claws and fangs, they surrounded Xu Bing.
"Captain!"
Xu Bing looked worried.
She ran over, picked up Ouyang Yunzhi, intending to take her away from here!
But!
She suddenly realized!
All around! Covering the sky and earth!
Were those sticky, disgusting mud!
Gathering towards them!
They had no way to escape!
"It’s over!"
Xu Bing’s face was pale without a trace of blood!
In that moment!
She thought a lot.
That she was going to die here...
The breath of death.
Had enveloped them.
The endless mud.
Like an evil tide, it gradually overwhelmed them...
But at this moment!
"Chirp!"
A sharp bird cry pierced the night sky!
The next moment!
Bang!
A stream of purple Spiritual Qi, as thick as a forefinger!
Came down from the sky!
Shot into the mud!
But like a rock sinking into the sea, it left no ripple!
After a moment of silence.
Bang!
A loud explosion!
A dazzling purple light!
Suddenly erupted from the ground!
Illuminating the entire forest!
Screech—
A shrill scream!
Under the scorching purple light!
The mud was writhing madly!
But as if it was water on a hot iron plate!
It quickly evaporated!
The mud wriggled!
Moving away from the purple light, crawling into the distance!
Exuded countless rotten corpses along the way!
Finally!
There was only a small clump of extremely dark and oily mud left.
Desperately crawling towards the pond.
Trying to get in!
And at this moment!
A swift figure descended from the sky!
A long knife glittering coldly, stabbed precisely into that clump of mud!
Leng Wei swung her long hair:
"Got it!"
At this moment.
Xiaohu flapped its wings, landing in the forest.
The fierce wind blew the surrounding trees!
"Chirp!"
Lin Lang was the first to jump down from Xiaohu’s back.
Then he turned and reached out, helping the women, including Yu Anni, down one by one.
Ning Shuangyu, however, impatiently leapt down by herself!
Rushing towards Xu Bing and Ouyang Yunzhi not far away:
"Xu Bing! Yunzhi! Are you all right?"
She ran closer.
Saw the two embracing as they fell to the ground.
Xu Bing was okay.
But Ouyang Yunzhi, for some reason, her clothes were almost destroyed!
Only a few scraps of cloth remained.
Which couldn’t cover her youthful figure at all.
Ning Shuangyu set about turning them over and checking every place!
No serious injuries!
But for some reason, they just couldn’t wake up!
She then moved those cloth scraps.
Helping Ouyang Yunzhi cover a few key areas.
Only then did she turn around and shout:
"Lin Lang, come check, what’s wrong with them? Why can’t they wake up?"
"Oh?"
Lin Lang walked closer.
Was immediately attracted by the scantily clad Ouyang Yunzhi.
His expression was somewhat strange:
"Uh!"
"Isn’t it just about fighting an Evil Spirit?"
"How come the clothes are gone?"
He subconsciously thought of some nonsense...
But then shook it out of his mind.
He first used his Divine Sense, along with the Eye of Destiny, to check inside Ouyang Yunzhi’s body.
And found!
Her meridians were almost all severed!
Though she wouldn’t die.
It seemed unlikely she could cultivate Martial Dao ever again!
Besides!
Inside both her and Xu Bing.
Evil Qi had tainted them.
The same as the Evil Qi inside Yu Anni!
This was also why they were unable to wake up.
Lin Lang used purple Spiritual Qi to erase the Evil Qi from their bodies.
Thus.
Before long!
Xu Bing was the first to gently wake up:
"Ugh... Am I dead?"
