The beast's mad roar echoed through the heavens, its fists slamming into the radiant spear beam.
"Crack!"
The fist of the beast turned to rubble, and Ding Huan seized the opportunity to unleash a Golden Flower Kill.
The remaining spear beams exploded open, as if they had eyes, piercing and annihilating the oncoming beasts and humans.
This beast creature was completely indifferent to its own fist being turned into a cloud of blood mist by Ding Huan's radiant spear beam, and still raised its other hand to strike the forehead of Wen Zhi Xi.
"Ding Huan's hoarse voice jolted Wen Zhixi awake, and she was also burning her essence blood, attempting to detonate the soul-locking explosive needle. "Act quickly!"
Even though the immortal beast of Xianze had been wounded by Ding Huan's Starry Sky, Wen Zhixi was still unable to detonate the soul-locking explosive needle.
If it weren't for Ding Huan's previous shot, the soul-locking explosive needle would have been forced out of the beast creature's body.
She continued to burn her essence blood, unable to detonate the soul-locking explosive needle. Today, both she and Ding Huan were destined for death.
The great hand of the Xianze immortal beast was about to strike Wen Zhixi's head, but its consciousness suddenly trembled, and then its divine ability domain was pounded by a whirlpool of killing intent.
At this moment, it was still unclear to the beast that Ding Huan had exploited the opportunity created by the shot just then, attacking his consciousness field with his spiritual abilities.
These ants dare to play these games in front of me...
The Xianze immortal beast was enraged. Just as a black wooden axe was summoned, he felt the death energy within him surge, as if about to explode.
Oh no...
It was only then that the Xianze immortal beast remembered that the reason why it had not summoned its treasure to kill these two ants just now was because it had been ambushed, fighting against the terrifying artifact within its body.
Ding Huan secretly attacked with the Yellow Flowers Kill using his spiritual abilities, driving the Xianze immortal beast crazy.
Too late to wrap around this artifact, the Xianze immortal beast waved its hand, and the two Qilings trees in front of him turned into two wooden arrows that shot towards Ding Huan.
It was clearly Wen Zhixi who was trying to detonate the soul-locking explosive needle by burning her essence blood, but the Xianze immortal beast went wild and attacked Ding Huan frantically.
In its eyes, Wen Zhixi was nothing compared to the small little divine grass worm, which posed too much of a threat and made it feel uncomfortable all the time.
By killing Ding Huan, even if it was severely injured, it could still kill Wen Zhixi.
Just as it completed this action, the soul-locking explosive needle exploded completely within its body.
Black blood stains shot out one by one, the Xianze immortal beast's body was torn apart, and even more, it felt that its own soul was starting to tear apart.
This is the artifact that explodes the soul!
Quickly flee, both the spiritual thoughts and the divine essence are plummeting precipitously, even the consciousness sea is beginning to crack.
The Xianze immortal beast may be foolish, but it knows that if it doesn't run, Wen Zhixi can still kill it.
Ding Huan saw clearly that the two Qilings trees turned into wooden arrows, aimed at his body, yet he was unable to avoid them.
Ding Huan desperately tried to summon a iron pot to block these two wooden arrows, but his spiritual thoughts were unable to move.
This unrefined treasure is a pain to use.
Just as Ding Huan's thoughts reached this point, "Puff! Puff!" The two wooden arrows, one after the other, were all embedded into his body. He spat out several blood arrows once more.
Before he could reach Wen Zhixi, the ground under his feet suddenly cracked open, and he could only watch in horror as he fell down, his life force rapidly fading away.
Wen Zhixi watched in shock as the half-burnt body of the Xianze immortal beast, which was blasted open by her soul-locking explosive needle, disappeared, and then saw two Qilings trees turn into wooden arrows and embed themselves into Ding Huan's body.
Ding Huan's body exploded into a mist of blood, and his life essence vanished instantly. Then she saw Ding Huan being engulfed by the cracking ground.
In the next moment, the black hole disappeared, and the ground returned to its original state.
When hundreds of beasts were charging towards them, most of them were killed by Ding Huan's Cycle Needle Beams, while the other half were bizarrely trapped and killed by a killing formation.
The chaotic scene from just a moment ago had calmed down in an instant. Now there was only one person left alive.
She wanted to go save Ding Huan, but she was well aware that the Xianze immortal beast was not dead. As long as this creature remained alive, it was a menace.
With only half a body and its spirit torn apart, the Xianze immortal beast was enraged almost to the point of swallowing Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi whole.
But now it could only retreat into the Jiulun Seal to hide, such a terrible injury, even facing Wen Zhixi alone, it is dangerous.
It was accustomed to being cautious, and even if it had to kill Wen Zhixi and Ding Huan, it would have to wait until its injuries had healed sufficiently before going out.
Having retreated into the Jiulun Seal, as this Xianze immortal beast thought it was safe, an endless sea of killing aura swept over it.
Kill array lines wrapped up everything in the space where he was located, crushing the space he had constructed in Jiulun Seal into rubble.
"Wen Luo Xu, do you dare to attack me in the dark..."
The Xianze immortal beast only realized its mistake after uttering a single sentence.
Even though this Jiulun Seal is Wen Luo Xu's, these killing array lines are definitely not laid by him. Wen Luo Xu has only a single strand of attachment left; how could he have the ability to attack himself?
The familiar killing aura, the familiar crushing array...
The Xianze immortal beast was well aware that Ding Huan had arrived first in the Jiulun Seal and set up a crushing entanglement array beforehand. It was waiting for him to enter.
A series of terrifying killing array patterns swept in, and the Xianze immortal beast finally feared.
Even if he was currently severely injured, with his strength at only 10% of what it once was, and even if he was in his prime, it would still be impossible for him to leave under the crushing array patterns he didn't understand at all.
This is definitely a fourth-level crushing array.
"Let me go..." Although the Xianze immortal beast knew that Ding Huan had been sent into the depths of the earth by its Wuxu poisonwood arrow, it still couldn't help longing for Ding Huan to be here, even to spare it.
"Puff! Puff!" As array patterns entered the Xianze immortal beast's body, they ground its bones to dust and ground its flesh into a paste.
The Xianze immortal beast could only watch helplessly as its flesh was torn apart, watching as its soul and bones slowly crumbled under the crushing array patterns.
With a trace of resentment, it sank into complete silence within the Jiulun Seal's crushing array.
...
"So powerful array path, this is the fourth-level vacuum crushing array..." Looking at the beasts and humans being killed wave after wave by the array patterns, Wen Zhixi muttered to herself.
Ding Huan is actually a master of the fourth-level divine array, which is an exceedingly rare entity even in the fifth divine realm.
Moreover, from the confrontation and battle between Ding Huan and the Xianze immortal beast just now, it is clear that Ding Huan's strength is far stronger than hers.
Ding Huan is definitely not at the Supernatual level, nor is she just a True Saint. She should be at the Golden Saint realm.
Even though she is only at the Golden Saint realm, Ding Huan is the main force behind the Xianze immortal beast's serious injuries.
If it weren't for Ding Huan, she wouldn't even have the opportunity to sneak attack or engage in a physical altercation.
Even if she managed to pull off a surprise attack, she still wouldn't be able to detonate the soul-locking explosive needle.
The soul-locking explosive needle is indeed a powerful artifact, but if it can't be detonated, it's no different from a blade of grass.
Wen Zhixi wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead, looking at the surrounding slaughtered and killed beasts, she took a deep breath, and had to save Ding Huan.
And the Xianze immortal beast from just now, it's definitely not dead. The question is, where did it hide?
Wen Zhixi has always been very composed, but this moment she couldn't help but feel nervous. She looked towards the huge rock that had caused the waterfall.
That's definitely the Jiulun Seal of my father, and it carries his Dao Qi.
She must refine and take away the Jiulun Seal, but at this moment, she needs to find Ding Huan first.
Cautiously walking to the spot where Ding Huan disappeared, it was here just now. Ding Huan's feet seemed to have suddenly been empty, and then the black hole swallowed him.
Wen Zhixi is also a Level 2 Peak Divine Array Master. She searched the area for several laps, but couldn't find anything.
Apart from a small stream, and the scene of the fierce battle that was torn apart, there was nothing unusual in sight.
Wen Zhixi sighed, knowing that it was her own array skills that were insufficient, so she couldn't find the entrance of Ding Huan's descent into the array formation.
Standing at the spot where Ding Huan disappeared, Wen Zhixi also understood that Ding Huan's chance of survival was almost gone.
She had witnessed with her own eyes the backlash of the Xianze immortal beast just before its death, turning two Qilings trees into wooden arrows that were shot into Ding Huan's body.
If she hadn't guessed wrong, the wooden arrows were probably Wuxu poisonwood arrows.
Once these wooden arrows entered the body, they would disappear, and the disappearing arrows would turn into venomous Dao Qi to invade the entire body.
Not to mention Ding Huan, even her father would not be able to resist this terrifying venom.
This is a law-based poison, and there are only two words, unsolvable.
Ding Huan could be said to have died in place of her.
Without Ding Huan's intervention, she wouldn't have been able to kill all the beasts here, or even seriously injure the Xianze immortal beast, let alone step into this place.
As soon as she arrived here, she would be considered prey. Even though she was a confident and proud early-stage Xianxian, she would have no chance to resist here.
Staring blankly at the lifeless space, it took Wen Zhixi nearly an incense stick's time to slowly bend down and pick up Ding Huan's Cycle Gun.
She remembered when she first met Ding Huan; she seemed not to remember what their first words were, nor did she know what she had said. She only knew that she had traded for a spirit-conducting blue-faced fruit.
She has always learned from cultivators that one must remain calm and stable in one's emotions.
But this moment, she couldn't help but feel her nose tip ache for the first time.
There are no dimly lit ancient paths, no parting pavilions, no sunset filled sky, no boats on the opposite bank. All there is, are endless swamps and patchy spiritual Qi.
When many familiar people leave in her life, she often can't remember. But for some people she just met, their departure makes it hard for her to let go.
Perhaps the person she just met is more important to her than anyone else in her life, but he has left her just like her father did, in such a hurry in front of her...
Why does she feel that the people who are important to her always leave in such a hurry without a proper farewell?
Without a proper farewell, how can she let go of the past?
She wasn't sure how long it had been since she wiped away her tears at the corner of her eyes.
She didn't remember if she had ever cried before, but when her father left, she didn't cry. This time, she would never forget.
Supporting the Cycle Gun, Wen Zhixi slowly approached the Jiulun Seal. She touched the father's magic treasure, and couldn't help but cry again.
The year her father left, it was just the beginning of a snowfall. Her father stepped into the snow on the first winter day and left her. He said that without her mother, every day of his life was torturous.
But today, she saw her father's Jiulun Seal here; he couldn't save her mother, and in the end, he was with her mother again.
Perhaps for her father, this was the best place for him to belong.
（Good night to my fellow Daoist, please support with moon tickets!）
