Xiao Fei held the Soul Stabilizing Talisman and struck out towards the demon's massive palm, the runes seamlessly integrating into the hand covered in black fur.
In that instant, the demon cultivator lost all sensation.
The Soul Stabilizing Talisman, nurtured by Xiao Fei for so many years, had grown its power to its limit. Even a Nascent Soul stage expert could be held for a moment.
"Strike!"
Xiao Fei roared, and the pair of great hammers in his hands swung towards the demon cultivator's head.
Simultaneously, Fei Yu unleashed his signature move – spitting to kill him!
Fei Yu's saliva was a support skill that could penetrate the enemy's body and impede the flow of their spiritual energy.
Since Fei Yu's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, his saliva, in addition to hindering spiritual energy, had gained corrosive properties.
It corroded the enemy's flesh, meridians, and spiritual energy. Anyone hit by his spit would remain in a weakened state.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."
Fei Yu's size was only slightly smaller than the demon cultivator, and he had plenty of saliva. It rained down like a deluge onto the demon cultivator's face.
On the other side, Huang Feifei, upon learning that Xiao Fei had arrived, quickly got back on her feet as the demon cultivator dropped the flying boat.
Everyone else on the flying boat, even if not dead, was severely injured and struggled to even stand.
Only Huang Feifei, with her special constitution and a perfect wood spiritual root, possessed extremely strong self-healing abilities. Within these few breaths, she had regained her ability to move.
Facing a demon cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage, she, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, could not offer any help by charging forward. She could only do her best to control the spirit cannons on the flying boat.
On the battlefield, the moment Xiao Fei used the Soul Stabilizing Talisman to immobilize the demon cultivator, the two great hammers, carrying hundreds of thousands of jin of force, descended like a crushing mountain.
With a "boom," they smashed onto the demon cultivator's massive head.
After the loud impact, the demon cultivator's head was unharmed, save for a slight abrasion on the skin. The damage was insignificant.
This made Xiao Fei feel a bit awkward; his full-power strike had no effect on the opponent.
Time was short, so he struck again!
Just then, hundreds of beams of spell light from the flying boat simultaneously struck the demon cultivator.
"Rumble..."
A dazzling array of spell lights intertwined, and spiritual energy exploded, blinding onlookers.
However, it still had little effect, causing only minor injuries. This thing was too resilient to be broken.
At the same time, Xiao Fei could sense that the energy of his Soul Stabilizing Talisman had been largely consumed. In a short while, the demon cultivator would awaken.
"No time!"
Judging by the situation, he was incapable of killing the demon cultivator before it awoke.
"Feifei! Run quickly!"
As Xiao Fei shouted, he waved his hand, and five identical puppets appeared before him.
Simultaneously, Xiao Fei produced a wooden box and handed it to one of the puppets.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Xiao Fei dropped the wooden box, mounted Fei Yu, and sped away, leaving the five puppets behind to presumably sacrifice themselves against the demon cultivator.
As Xiao Fei and the flying boat gradually disappeared into the horizon, one of the puppets tore open the seal on the wooden box, and a surge of malevolent energy erupted towards the sky.
The wooden box instantly turned to dust under the impact of this powerful malevolent energy, and a red light shot out. A dense aura of blood and malevolence illuminated half the sky.
This evil blade, "Bloodthirsty," had been sealed by Xiao Fei for a long time. Now released, it needed no command, nor was anyone qualified to command it.
After circling in the sky, it located a mass of blood-red energy as large as a mountain.
Without hesitation, it pounced. "Bloodthirsty" transformed into a red light and easily pierced into the demon cultivator's body, greedily absorbing its essence and blood.
The demon cultivator's massive size meant it contained a considerable amount of essence and blood. "Bloodthirsty" finally had an opportunity to feast.
The mountain-like body of the demon cultivator began to rapidly shrivel.
Its colossal form gradually buckled, and with a thud, it crashed to the ground.
At that very moment, the Soul Stabilizing Talisman Xiao Fei had left within the demon cultivator's body dimmed, becoming transparent, and finally shattered into specks of light.
"Roar..."
The moment the demon cultivator awoke, it let out a furious roar.
However, halfway through its roar, it could no longer continue. It felt an overwhelming weakness in its body, its limbs devoid of strength. Its remaining essence and blood were being siphoned towards a blood-red short blade.
Its powerful body was utterly ruined.
Nevertheless, the primordial spirit of a Nascent Soul cultivator was formidable. The primordial spirit could leave the physical body and continue to fight.
At this moment, its primordial spirit directly reached for the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade within its body.
However, as its primordial spirit's hand touched "Bloodthirsty," it became stuck, unable to be pulled away.
More importantly, its primordial spirit, like its essence and blood, was being absorbed into it.
"Ah! What demon are you? Let me go!"
"Ah..."
The demon cultivator could only let out roars of fury, unable to resist. Its roars gradually turned into pleas.
Its voice grew weaker and weaker, until finally, the entire primordial spirit of the demon cultivator was absorbed into the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade.
Having completely drained a powerful demon cultivator, the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade floated in the air, a crimson aura of blood and malevolence spreading for over ten li.
Within the range of this blood-red aura, all living beings, including the pursuing demons, became frenzied and then exploded, turning into mist.
This mist of blood surged towards "Bloodthirsty" and was absorbed into its body.
The scene before them was truly terrifying. Even the five puppets Xiao Fei had left behind were so frightened that they hid in the shadows, daring not to emerge.
They were likely the only five survivors within a ten-li radius.
"Bloodthirsty" floated silently in the air, its surrounding malevolent energy gradually converging in the center, forming a ball of blood-red mist about a zhang in size.
After a long while, the blood-red mist gradually dissipated. The "Bloodthirsty" that had been shrouded in the mist at the center had vanished, replaced by a red-haired woman.
This woman had a slender and graceful figure, with a pair of pointed ears atop her head. Below her crimson lips, one could see sharp fangs.
The red-haired woman seemed to have just awakened from a deep slumber, still a bit dazed. She stretched languidly in the air, only then noticing she was unclothed.
A surge of blood-red malevolent energy emanated from her body, condensing into a vibrant, scarlet-red long skirt around her.
She twirled gently in the air, seemingly satisfied with her attire, before walking barefoot through the void towards the distance.
However, wherever she passed, all living beings within several li would explode, their essence and blood turning into mist and being absorbed by the red-haired woman.
The five puppets hiding in the shadows, seeing the red-haired woman depart, collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
In the distance, Xiao Fei, through the puppets' senses, witnessed everything that had transpired. While filled with dread, he couldn't help but inwardly complain.
Everything living in her path died, so what was the point of wearing clothes? It was an unnecessary gesture!
