"Now that you've come, there's no need to rush off."
Xiang Beifei stretched out his hand, and the Wufeng broken sword was drawn out from the void!
The golden sword radiance flickered to life, cleaving upon the mountain range ahead as if traversing the vast emptiness; when it appeared again, it had already reached the forefront, slashing towards Brain Deficient!
Brain Deficient's heart grew cold. He had been desperately charging forward, believing that with his speed, Xiang Beifei couldn't possibly catch up. However, Xiang Beifei's speed had reached its limit, and somehow he had already flashed in front of him!
This sword was terrifying as if it could shatter the void itself, making Brain Deficient shudder involuntarily, but his reaction was extremely quick, without any hesitation, he mustered all his strength and turned to dodge!
Ye Ji had been following Brain Deficient closely, always observing the movements ahead. When Brain Deficient dodged, he had already perceived the sword radiance that terrified him, and he swiftly avoided it as well.
But Ri An wasn't so lucky. Having already lost two pairs of meat wings, her strength was severely damaged, and she ran the slowest among the three. When both Ye Ji and Brain Deficient in front of her had dodged, she failed to react in time!
The sword radiance struck Ri An; the Huangquan water that had risen from her body unexpectedly failed to block the sword radiance, and she was cut down directly!
Ri An's figure halted sharply in mid-air, hovering there.
Her eyes filled with disbelief and fury, her throat moved as if she wanted to say something, but her eyes widened to the extreme and she could no longer make a sound!
Ri An's body was cleaved in two from the middle, tipping to each side.
Xiang Beifei's hand holding the sword shook slightly, and with a flash of sword radiance, Ri An's unsightly corpse exploded in mid-air, turning into a cloud of blood mist!
Within this cloud of blood, a pool of Huangquan water spread out, emitting a fishy stench. Soon after, streaks of yellow light flashed, directly absorbing the blood mist that Ri An had exploded into.
Ye Ji cried out in shock, intending to save Ri An, but it was already too late. Ri An's corporeal blood mist had been devoured by the Huangquan water, on the verge of losing control. The Huangquan desolate beasts inside seemed to start roaring violently, preparing to burst forth.
He gritted his teeth, without any solution, he could only open his mouth and spit out his own Huangquan water, enveloping the about-to-go-rogue pool of Huangquan water.
Inside, various desolate beasts were still roaring. Within this pool, the most noticeable was a ferocious Meat-Winged Monster struggling to come out, upon closer inspection, it was shockingly the contour of Ri An's terrified face.
She appeared to be wrapped in a thin membrane, trying to struggle free but blocked by the Huangquan water. Inside the water, other fierce desolate beasts pounced on her, grabbing her and dragging her into the depths.
Ri An screamed in terror, her voice transforming into a different tone, "Ye Ji, save me! Quick! Dispel these damned Huangquan desolate beasts, I need to get out..."
Ye Ji looked at Ri An wrapped up by the Huangquan desolate beasts with a shocked gaze, fell silent for a long while, then shook his head and said, "Sorry, Ri An, you know the ferocity of Huangquan. If you die while wielding Huangquan, you can only become one of the desolate beasts in the water."
Huangquan water, sinister and powerful, could enhance its own strength by feeding on the creatures that die in it. The Moon God Race could rely on the power of the Huangquan water, but they also had to endure its backlash.
This meant that Ri An could no longer leave the Huangquan water and would gradually be assimilated by those desolate beasts that had lost their spirit, retaining only their vicious instincts, and then become a puppet manipulated by others!
"No——no! I can't die, you should die..."
Ri An's eyes were filled with extreme fear. She glared at Xiang Beifei, filled with venomous hatred as if wanting to tear him apart limb from limb.
But she was powerless to do anything, soon overwhelmed by those Huangquan desolate beasts and vanishing in the waters of Huangquan.
Ye Ji took a deep breath and then swallowed Ri An's pool of Huangquan water with a gulp, merging it with his own. Simultaneously, the aura within Ye Ji grew significantly more intense; his own aura was now more than twice as strong as before!
While Xiang Beifei dealt with Ri An, Brain Deficient and Ye Ji had seized the opportunity and rushed out of the range of Si Hou's mountain range,
"Once out of Hou, his control over it becomes ineffective! This time, we must join forces to slay him!" Brain Deficient shouted lowly.
Ye Ji clearly knew this as well, from the beginning until now, Xiang Beifei had almost relied on the strong abilities of the Hou to deal with them. That unpredictable golden array pattern had left them at a loss, but once they were out of Hou's range, they could devote their full attention to the fight.
They were right; without the Hou, Xiang Beifei could no longer use the breath soil mixed with Chou Hou's mud to suppress his opponents, nor rely on Si Hou's blood altar's teleportation ability to instantly appear anywhere.
Ye Ji exchanged glances with Brain Deficient, nodding slightly, then with a thundering noise, Brain Deficient's body burst forth with a formidable aura once again. Black tentacles and red tendrils merged together in the air, forming powerful arcs, casting the air itself in a sinister black and red glow.
Ye Ji's wings spread out behind him, Huangquan water surged forth from his back, corroding the dark aura covering the sky as if staining it yellow, enveloping the area for miles around!
