Chapter 3:

Chong Yan didn’t answer because he didn’t know what “abs” mean.

However, Chong Yan didn’t care about what she said and slowly closed his eyes again.

But Yao Yao was in a hurry.

She wouldn’t be eaten by cruel devils because even if they dared to eat her flesh, it would explode instantly. But Chong Yan was so weak that even a three-centimeter wound could make him bleed. He couldn’t even defeat a single demon, let alone so many bad demons.

Yao Yao blushed and reached out her hand, saying, “There’s no time to explain, let’s just take off this piece first, and then the other.”

After all, immortals don’t go for that kind of thing. This was the best painless way of bleeding she could think of for now.

However, before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard a “swish” sound.

A dark, demonic aura, with sharp teeth that barely missed her fingertips, aimed directly at Chong Yan’s chest. In an instant, it tore apart his front, shredding his clothes.

Yao Yao was stunned.

For a moment, she couldn’t tell if they were friend or foe.

She initially thought she could just lift the hem of his clothes, but she didn’t expect their demon culture to be so open-minded.

The clothes Chong Yan was wearing were already torn and couldn’t withstand being ripped further, exposing a large portion of his chest.

Under the cold moonlight, his skin was as pale as ice, but with a vibrant texture, exuding a natural sense of power. His well-defined abs were perfect in shape and proportion, leading to a narrow waistline, almost making one hesitate to think further down.

But what caught Yao Yao’s attention the most was the intricate blue flame pattern on his chest.

The design was extremely complex, resembling an ancient totem, extending along the veins, as if a crack in ice was nestled in his heart.

 Oh my gosh! He even has tattoos.

My brain can’t handle how sexy he is.

Chong Yan slowly lowered his head. He looked at his torn moon-white inner shirt and remained stunned for a few seconds.

It was a gift from that person. Now it’s ruined.

When he raised his head again, a cruel and clear brutality gleamed in his eyes, like ice cracks.

He had thought he could just die like this. But now, Chong Yan’s meridians were cracking and burning, forcibly condensing his divine power. The pain circulated through his body like a delayed torment, as if countless ice shards were flowing in his blood.

Yet, his expression didn’t show any pain, only a chaotic brutality.

Go die.

All the cruel devils had gone mad, their crimson eyes lusting after the flesh and blood of the divine beings. Tens of thousands of bizarre demon bodies swarmed forward like a relentless wave.

The snow around Chong Yan froze for the last time, and if his power this time was activated, his damaged divine body would directly crumble like an ice crevasse, splitting into pieces.

Just as his consciousness was completely engulfed in icy slaughter, suddenly, a warm golden light flowed by.

“Haha, I’m so awesome.”

Chong Yan’s raging consciousness was abruptly interrupted by a soft little hand.

Without a word, Yao Yao pulled him behind her.

Then, facing the wind, with a nosebleed she smiled tenderly and indulgently.

“Stand behind me.”

_______

“Report.”

“The demonic aura in the Forsaken Abyss is gathering rapidly.”

In the main hall of the Wuji Sect, everyone was closely monitoring the situation in the Abyss.

After six Soul Anchoring Nails was embedded, the rampaging ancient demon were obviously severely injured, but it also triggered all the demonic creatures in the Abyss. Everyone understood that none of the disciples of the Wuji Sect in the Abyss would likely survive the calamity.

Li Cangyan’s face looked unsightly.

The senior brother and sister who had previously encourage Yao Yao to take the Soul Anchoring Nail instead of Su Yilin has exchanged glances. He stepped forward and said, “Senior Brother Cangyan, Junior Sister has already found the map of the Divine Weapon Dragon Spine Sword. It will definitely help you in the future.”

Su Yilin knew she was guilty of avoiding the Abyss, and her expression was uneasy. “Senior Brother Cangyan, I understand that humans and demons cannot coexist. I will surely strive to follow in your footsteps.”

Li Cangyan’s expression softened slightly, and he said gently, “I know you will try.”

Another person spoke up, “We might as well open the projection of the Ancient Blood Array to give Yao Yao an explanation.”

Su Yilin’s heart started to race.

In fact, they tacitly understood that the only remaining Soul Anchoring Nail, which had not yet been dropped, was the one in the center of the array. But that was not the one Ji Yao took away.

There was no other choice, blame it on Ji Yao’s bad luck. The position of the Ancient Blood Array in her hand happened to be where the demonic aura was surging.

So, if Li Cangyan were to witness her being torn apart by the demonic creatures in a bloody and gruesome manner, he would probably never want to remember Ji Yao again.

“So be it.”

The residual image of the Ancient Blood Array unfolded, and in an instant, the thousands of grotesque demonic creatures hidden beneath the abyss appeared before everyone. They were howling and rampaging, densely packed and bloodthirsty.

Even cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to survive in such a situation.

Just as everyone was secretly alarmed, a slender figure suddenly flashed across the screen.

She was dressed in flowing lotus-colored robes, her hair blown back by the wind, revealing a complete and delicate side profile. With a beautiful nose and cherry-like lips, she was astonishingly beautiful in such a place teeming with demonic aura.

“Ji Yao.”

“This… This is a stored image, probably her last appearance before she passed away,” Su Yilin said in shock, biting her lip. The bloody scene she had anticipated did not appear; instead, it amazed everyone.

So, if she’s dead, wouldn’t she become an unforgettable white moonlight in our hearts?

However, everyone believed that this was the appearance of Ji Yao before she died. Only Li Cangyan’s eyes revealed a faint shock.

Although it was fleeting, he still saw the golden light that flashed in the girl’s hand, a secret related to her bloodline. It was real.

She didn’t die; all the cruel devils avoided her.

The Sword Saint Cangyan stood up immediately, his righteousness emanating.

“Everyone, now that only one Soul Anchoring Nail remains, if we don’t eliminate the demon, we will always be in danger.”

“In a few days, I will enter the Forsaken Abyss and personally slaughter those ancient demons to avenge my disciples from the Wuji Sect.”

Li Cangyan stood arrogantly, appearing as the hope of Spirit Continent’s future, earning cheers from everyone.

“Good!”

“That demon is already wicked beyond redemption, unworthy of living in this world.”

“As expected of the Sword Saint of Spirit Continent.”

Li Cangyan smiled faintly.

If that ancient demon hadn’t been severely injured by the Soul Anchoring Nail, he would have no chance of winning.

But the attack caused by the ancient blood array was something the demon couldn’t recover from. As long as no one healed him, he would be weakened to the point of having no strength left.

This was his opportunity.

“Kill it!”

“Kill!”

“We’re saved!”

______

Yao Yao held the blood-colored spirit pearl with gold flowing in her palm and pulled Chong Yan’s arm, clearing a path through the demonic tide.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her blood separated from her body, it turned into a shining blood pearl. In an instant, it halted those cruel devils, as if they were hacked.

Yao Yao’s symptoms of blood fever were immediately relieved, and she no longer felt feverish and dizzy. However, upon closer inspection, those demons were extremely unattractive and frightening.
