AWB Chapter 176 Explosion Imminent
Chapter 176 Explosion Imminent
"It's an honor to meet you, Sect Leader Liu. Welcome to my domain."
Xie Wanxun clapped her hands in approval, her tone smiling, but her eyes were unusually cold.
"Enough with the nonsense, take this!" Liu Qingci rushed forward instantly. Xie Wanxun dodged, only to see Liu Qingci crouch down with his hands on the ground.
"Yin and Yang intertwine, Heaven and Earth reverse, sealing away demons and warding off evil, impervious to all magic!"
A golden light appeared beneath Xie Wanxun's feet; it was a ninth-grade demon-sealing array.
Liu Qingci's eyes were sharp and deep, flashing with killing intent. Veins bulged on her forehead as she continuously channeled spiritual power into the formation. She said fiercely, "Demon Lord Wangchuan, today I will kill you and let you know that the people of Biboting are not to be trifled with."
Xie Wanxun walked to the core of the formation with her hands behind her back. She pointed casually and said, "Sect Leader Liu, I can get out by breaking this. So, you're serious?"
Liu Qingci raised an eyebrow, cold sweat pouring down her face, her voice trembling noticeably: "How could this be! This Demon Sealing Array is a top-secret technique of the Azure Wave Court, how could a demon cultivator like you break it?"
Xie Wanxun chuckled nonchalantly. Not only could she break this demon-sealing formation, but she could also set up an even more powerful one. After all, the current Azure Wave Technique was not authentic.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingci gritted her teeth and shouted, "I am the sworn brother, and our blood is the covenant. As long as our souls are immortal, this formation will not be broken!"
Liu Qingci actually intended to use herself as the core of the formation to seal Xie Wanxun.
"Enough!" Xie Wanxun's eyes darkened, and her tone became serious.
The formation had been set up. Liu Qingci coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly to the ground.
Xie Wanxun sighed, realizing the righteous cultivators' determination to kill her, a demonic cultivator. However, she wouldn't allow Liu Qingci to die like this.
Xie Wanxun made a hand seal and silently recited.
"With a single movement of heaven and earth, all things return to dust. Activate the formation!"
A purple light emanated from her, completely enveloping the array beneath her feet. The Ninth-Rank Demon-Sealing Array began to reverse, releasing spiritual energy, and ultimately vanished from its original location.
Xie Wanxun's head was throbbing; the formation she had just used had consumed too much demonic energy, leaving her with very little spiritual power.
She approached Liu Qingci, fed her a sleeping pill, and Liu Qingci instantly fell asleep.
"What have you done!" A shrill scream rang in Xie Wanxun's ears.
Xie Wanxun turned around and saw that it was Zhong Yingxiu who had just woken up.
"This is everything you see." Xie Wanxun moved aside, revealing everything to Zhong Yingxiu.
Liu Qingci and Shen Cheng were both injured and lay on the ground, their fates unknown.
Zhong Yingxiu stared at everything in disbelief. She collapsed to the ground, her chest feeling like it was bound by chains, the pain making it hard to breathe. Her eyes were blurred with tears, which streamed down her cheeks. Her pale lips could only manage to utter one word: "...No."
Xie Wanxun picked up the bell, but didn't hear a sound. Somewhat disappointed, she walked straight to Shen Cheng.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion rang out, and Xie Wanxun unconsciously turned around to look, only to find that the restraining formation she had placed on Zhong Yingxiu had been forcibly broken.
As Zhong Yingxiu floated in the air, more than a dozen arrays suddenly appeared around her, and cracks appeared in the arrays.
"jingle!"
At this critical moment, the bell suddenly rang, startling Xie Wanxun.
Xie Wanxun saw clearly that all the formations on Zhong Yingxiu's body were ninth-grade sealing formations, and even a ninth-grade sealing shield appeared above her head.
The array and magical artifacts were on the verge of shattering, and Xie Wanxun could sense the immense spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Zhong Yingxiu. This spiritual energy was not something that one person could possess; it was the combined power of hundreds of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Why was it all concentrated within Zhong Yingxiu's body?
If the seal is broken, Zhong Yingxiu will inevitably die from the explosion of spiritual energy within her body, and Xie Wanxun's domain will not be able to hold on, turning Bibo Court and its surrounding area of a hundred miles into ruins.
Xie Wanxun didn't have enough mental energy to cast a sealing array, so she focused her attention on Liu Qingci and Shen Cheng.
She quickly administered the antidote to the two of them, and they finally woke up.
"Sect Leader Liu, Shen Cheng, you must think of something quickly! Zhong Yingxiu seems to be on the verge of collapse," Xie Wanxun said anxiously.
Liu Qingci's face turned pale, and she shouted angrily, "Demon Lord Wangchuan, why did you break Yingxiu's seal? This is very dangerous! You're going to kill her!"
Shen Cheng's scrutinizing gaze fell on Xie Wanxun.
Xie Wanxun was sweating profusely with anxiety: "It wasn't me, it was Zhong Yingxiu who lost control when she saw you all collapse on the ground. What exactly happened? How can we stop Zhong Yingxiu's spiritual energy explosion? My domain can't be destroyed."
A domain can naturally regenerate if it's lost, but Xie Wanxun, as the Demon Lord, could never say anything about saving people.
Liu Qingci glared resentfully at Xie Wanxun, then sighed softly, "Yingxiu most likely recalled her memories as a drug test subject, couldn't accept her past, and her inner demons erupted, causing her to lose control."
"Master, what should we do? We can't just stand by and watch our eldest sister suffer like this," Shen Cheng shouted in a hoarse voice.
“The one who tied the knot must untie it. Yingxiu’s fear stems from her inner demons, and we must untie them. In the past, the Inner Demon Array could help us enter Yingxiu’s consciousness, but given Yingxiu’s current condition, we can no longer set up the Inner Demon Array.” Liu Qingci frowned and shook her head.
Xie Wanxun couldn't help but look down at the ground, avoiding eye contact with anyone.
In her haste to find the chosen one, she resorted to extreme methods, which led to Zhong Yingxiu's breakdown. If Wan Ning knew she had messed things up and harmed Zhong Yingxiu, she would surely be very disappointed.
Xie Wanxun raised his head, his tone deliberately light: "It's just a mere inner demon, what's so difficult about dealing with it? I'm a demonic cultivator, I can infiltrate Zhong Yingxiu's consciousness space to remove her inner demon. I'm not doing this to save her, but because I can't just stand by and watch my domain be destroyed. This domain is where I've accumulated a lot of power, how can it be broken by a mere array cultivator!"
Liu Qingci and Shen Cheng's suspicious and cautious gazes fell on Xie Wanxun.
"You may not believe me, but I'm the only one who can turn the tide. For Zhong Yingxiu's sake, you can give it a try." Xie Wanxun raised her head, trying to hide the fleeting lack of confidence in her eyes.
After a while, Xie Wanxun finally heard a "good".
Liu Qingci looked intently at Xie Wanxun and said, "But you must inscribe a curse on your heart."
Xie Wanxun pointed at herself with a shocked expression, her mouth slightly open, unable to speak.
Thinking about it carefully, it's reasonable for Liu Qingci not to believe her, after all, she's a demonic cultivator. But being forced to cast a demonic spell is really quite painful.
"Of course I can. As the renowned Demon Lord of the River of Oblivion, do you think I'm afraid of a mere Heart Demon Curse?" Xie Wanxun retorted stubbornly.
"I, Wanxun, the Demon Lord of Wangchuan, can help Zhong Yingxiu, the eldest disciple of Biboting, to get rid of her inner demons. Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning."
A flash of golden light, and the inner demon curse was complete.
Now it was Liu Qingci's turn to be shocked. She couldn't believe that the Demon Lord of the Forgotten River would actually cast a heart-demon curse. However, seeing Xie Wanxun's proud and upright demeanor, she only felt that the Demon Lord of the Forgotten River was too arrogant.
Only Shen Cheng stood to the side, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
Xie Wanxun came to Zhong Yingxiu's side and set up a barrier. If she could not break Zhong Yingxiu's inner demons, Liu Qingci and Shen Cheng would still have a chance to escape when Zhong Yingxiu exploded.
Xie Wanxun transformed into black mist and entered Zhong Yingxiu's consciousness space.
She is about to see Zhong Yingxiu's past and her inner demons.
