Shu Yi’s shock alerted the fiendish cultivator underneath that something was amiss. There was a flash of white light. Huge volumes of white flames carrying a chilling aura shot out from the ground and spread across the entire graveyard, causing everything to turn a snow white. The ground started to crack apart and the flames spread like streams of water toward Shu Yi and Zuo Shuming.

[Ding! High-power source detected.]

Shu Yi’s became evidently excited.. Anxiously, she chased, “Hurry! 001, isolate the deviant fire and catch it.” As she spoke, she reached out toward the flames. A faint glow appeared around her hands. She was just about to touch the dark fire.

“Senior Sister Shu Yi, be careful!” Zuo Shuming beside her suddenly jumped out in front of her and knocked her hand away. The impact caused Shu Yi to fly backward four or five metres away from the dark flames. She landed headfirst into a pile of mud.

[Ding! Exceeded limits! Failed to catch! The next time you may activate this function is in four hours’ time!]

The three people who were watching from above: “…” Their presence was indeed redundant here.

╮(╯_╰)╭

Yet, Zuo Shuming did not seem to realize that he had done something wrong. He waved his spirit sword and used his sword techniques to defend the two of them from the flames. In a worried tone, he shouted, “Are you alright, Senior Sister Shu? This deviant fire appeared out of nowhere. Could it be that the fiendish cultivator is somewhere here! It’s too dangerous.. Senior Sister Shu… Senior Sister Shu, answer me!”

“…”

A while later…

Shu Yi clenched her fists by her side and pushed herself out of the mud. Her face was still covered in soil, but it was obvious that she was quite close to exploding in rage. She was so angry that it was almost as if there were real flames coming out of her ears She summoned her own spirit sword and headed straight toward Zuo Shuming. “I’m going to kill you!”

“Eh?” Zuo Shuming started. He had no choice but to turn around and fend off her attacks. Confused, he asked, “Senior Sister Shu, why are you doing this? The fiendish cultivator is over there!”

[Host, calm down! He cannot die now. The original owner’s grievous energy hasn’t fully dissipated!] 001 was getting anxious as well.

“Damn your stupid grievous energy values!” Shu Yi had lost all sense of logic. She lifted her sword and waved it at Zuo Shuming without any inhibitions. She was not employing any techniques – this was the work of pure rage. “I’m going to kill him! I’m going to kill him! I have to kill him…”

[Host, you will fail your mission!]

“Damn your stupid mission!”

[Host… Host, be careful!]

001 suddenly called out in a panicked tone. While the two of them were having this internal struggle, the fiendish cultivator dug himself out of the ground. He began to wave his hands, causing black blades formed with evil aura, which also carried white flames of dark fire, to fly toward Shu Yi.

Shu Yi’s heart stopped. After she regained her composure, she retrieved the dharmic weapon from earlier and threw it over to the fiendish cultivator. The dharmic weapon flashed red, and the fiendish cultivator stopped moving at once. He writhed in pain and curled up into a ball, screaming non-stop. Even the white flames around them seemed to be dampened.

“It’s you!” The fiendish cultivator seemed to finally understand something. His eyes turned red, and his expression became twisted. He was filled with hatred all the way down to his bones. He could almost eat Shu Yi alive. “Tian Ji… It’s Tian Ji who sent you here! I’m going to kill you!”

He let out a loud roar as his eyes turned an even brighter red. He had made up his mind. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand toward his chest, digging deep. Fresh blood flowed out from the wound.

Both Zuo Shuming and Shu Yi stared blankly at him. They could not understand why he was hurting himself. Yet, they saw that the blood flowing from his chest was turning back. The next thing they knew, a huge amount of black Qi exploded around him, spreading out toward the surroundings. The aura it carried chilled them to their very bones.

The three people in the sky frowned. This was… demonic Qi!
