Chapter 180: Chapter 180

Yu Nianzhao grabbed the cloak, and with a flick, flame spread from her fingertips, burning the cloak to ashes in seconds.

Under the black cloak lay a mangled corpse, so horrifying at first glance that even Yu Nianzhao felt her scalp tingle.

The shattered body was like a patchwork of different human parts, and it was covered in stitches everywhere.

Dongfang Chenyue happened to see the face, and just one glance made her feel unbearable, her eyes rolled back as she nearly fainted.

This grotesque appearance, with the flesh on the face sunken and uneven, made it impossible to discern the skin clearly—it was a monster, and wasn’t that frightening?

The monster made a chilling sound and turned to attack Yu Nianzhao again.

Its speed was much faster than the previous ghoul, and not only that, a black mist surged around its body, from which hands formed, trying to grasp Yu Nianzhao and drag her soul in along with her.

"This ghoul is not just ’born’; it’s like their granddaddy!"

Yu Nianzhao, without the Blade of Judgment in her hand, wove sigils with her hands, shielding from the monster with golden runes.

A beguiling voice echoed by her ear, and a red light shone brighter in the monster’s eyes.

He was completely fearless, relentlessly crashing his body against the golden runes, forcefully attacking whenever he had a chance.

The ghost realm shook as well, and even the ground trembled.

Yu Nianzhao diverted her gaze to look at the carriage, where the air wall started to distort.

"Is someone forcibly entering the ghost realm?"

Yu Nianzhao was a bit surprised, "Could it be Dongfang Chenyuan? Seems like he has some skills."

"Boo hoo... Cousin, save me, I’m going to die!"

Dongfang Chenyue cried out in pain, feeling cold all over, and exhaling white mist.

The changes in the ghost realm also affected the monster, which let out a low roar, repeatedly shattering the barrier formed by the golden light, spewing a mass of bluish-black mist from its mouth, highly corrosive.

"Are you really releasing poison gas? So inhumane!"

Yu Nianzhao quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, afraid of inhaling even a bit.

Taking advantage of the gap, the monster launched its attack again.

A shadow leaped through the air and kicked the monster away.

"Zhaozhao, are you alright?"

The next second, Yu Nianzhao found herself in a familiar embrace.

Lifting her head, she saw Xie Jiuxiao’s unparalleled handsome face, meeting his eyes filled with anxiety.

"Xie Jiuxiao, how did you get in here?"

Yu Nianzhao exclaimed in surprise, "Was it you who distorted the ghost realm just now? Are you crazy? This is the ghost realm. Coming here is like offering yourself as food to the evil spirits. Your white jade Buddha beads won’t hold for long, get out quickly."

"I heard news of you disappearing with the carriage and came immediately. I won’t leave you, we’ll leave together."

Xie Jiuxiao shook his head firmly, turned and held her hand, "It’s Dongfang outside buying time for me to come in. We’ll leave now."

"You can’t just leave ; you’re being reckless. Haven’t you heard it’s easy to get in but hard to get out?"

Yu Nianzhao was truly shocked and scared, worried about adding another burden.

But Xie Jiuxiao wrapped his arm around her slender waist, his captivating eyes fixed intently on her, saying with unwavering certainty, "Even so, I want to face danger with you, Zhaozhao. I know you’re strong, but I can’t leave you alone in peril; do you understand?"

That intense feeling passed over in an instant, leaving Yu Nianzhao a bit dazed, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

"Boo hoo... I’m in so much pain, could you not talk about this now? Say it when we’re out."

Dongfang Chenyue weakly, with trembling lips, spoke, even her eyebrows covered in a layer of frost, stretching out her hand with difficulty for help.

"Dongfang Chenyue is infected with corpse poison, we have to leave here first!"

Turning around, Yu Nianzhao faced the standing monster, completely unharmed, making sigils with both hands, "By my command, bind its soul!"

The golden light shot up, transforming into slender chains, wrapping the monster within.

The monster couldn’t break free, roaring angrily, stomping on the ground.

The ground began to collapse, sinister black ghost faces emerged from below, about to devour Yu Nianzhao.

Without hesitation, Xie Jiuxiao pushed Yu Nianzhao aside, and immediately, he was dragged into the darkness.

Yu Nianzhao’s heart jolted; she watched helplessly as Xie Jiuxiao was swallowed by the darkness, his eyes, filled with infinitely complex emotions, silently vanishing.

Yu Nianzhao’s heart raced, her mind like a brilliant fireworks display, going blank for a moment.

The next second, she plunged into the darkness as well.

Encased in a layer of golden light, she illuminated the entire darkness, quickly finding Xie Jiuxiao, who was swallowed by the evil spirits.

She grabbed Xie Jiuxiao’s hand and held him in her arms with a grip.

Yu Nianzhao patted his cheek, finding him seemingly asleep, she shook him to wake him up, "Don’t fall asleep here, or they’ll take over your body. You have to wake up and leave with me! This is a realm of evil desires; they’ll seduce you."

Still, Xie Jiuxiao showed no response.

"Xie Jiuxiao, can you hear my voice? Don’t let them drag you down, do you hear?"

Seeing no reaction from him and the evil spirits continuously penetrating, she looked down to find the white jade Buddha beads that hadn’t been worn for long now had cracks appearing—finally understanding.

"Damn, it’s really a piece of junk; this thing is unreliable, it really can’t last long." Get full chapters from noⅴelfire.net

After hesitating for a moment, knowing she couldn’t stay much longer, Yu Nianzhao gritted her teeth, covered her hand over the white jade Buddha beads, and infused a strand of divine power into them.

[Wow! Master, you’re giving away your precious divine power?]

[We’ve worked hard to save up this little bit, and now you’re giving it away?]

[Boo hoo, master, is he that important? He actually gets to share master’s divine power; it’s too much.]

[Master, by giving away your divine power, we’re starting from zero again!]

[I had no idea he was this important to master!]

As the divine power was imparted, Jiu Ying began to fume in her mind.

Despite feeling pained over the painstakingly accumulated divine power, seeing the white jade Buddha beads restored brought her indescribable delight.
