"Great compassion and mercy..."
He chanted Buddhist mantras in a low voice, but it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
The next moment, he moved.
There was no earth-shattering fanfare, nor any dazzling light and shadow.
He simply took a step forward.
A pure, condensed killing intent erupted from his body!
That killing intent was no longer a simple emotion, but transformed into a visible, dark red domain that instantly enveloped an area of ten feet in radius.
Those menacing ghostly figures, the moment they rushed into this area, were like ice blocks thrown into a steel furnace. They didn't even have time to utter a scream before they were torn to shreds and completely purified by the violent killing intent!
Zhao Guizhen was struck dumb, the ghostly figure connected to his mind was shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with horror.
He couldn't understand why his evil magic had failed so decisively!
"...Slap!"
Xiao Zizai put his glasses back on and uttered the last word.
His figure appeared before Zhao Guizhen like a ghost.
Xiao Zizai's compassionate smile vanished abruptly, and his eyes behind the glasses suddenly flashed with a sharp, piercing light!
He pointed his fingers like a knife, his arm seemingly breaking through the limitations of space, leaving a trail of afterimages, and suddenly thrust forward at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch!
"Pfft——!"
A dull yet extremely penetrating bang exploded! It wasn't like cloth being torn apart, but more like a heavy war drum being smashed apart by tremendous force!
Xiao Zizai's entire palm, enveloped in extremely refined crimson-gold Qi, pierced through all the protective magic artifacts and Qi that Zhao Guizhen had hastily gathered in front of his chest without any hindrance, and firmly imprinted itself in the very center of his chest!
Zhao Guizhen's eyes suddenly bulged out, filled with blood vessels, and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints! It was as if all the blood in his body was forcibly squeezed to his head at this moment, and his cheeks turned purplish-red!
"Ugh—!"
A short, extremely shrill scream had just escaped his throat when it abruptly stopped!
Centered on the point where Xiao Zizai's palm landed, a clear palm print visibly sank into Zhao Guizhen's chest!
Immediately afterwards, grotesque, crimson lines, like cracks in lava, spread wildly from his chest, instantly covering his neck, cheeks, and limbs!
That wasn't a spider web; it was more like the terrifying sight of his powerful internal energy being completely shattered and run rampant by this palm strike, tearing his entire body apart from the inside out!
Zhao Guizhen stood frozen in place, his expression one of disbelief and horror. Wisps of chaotic white smoke escaped from his pores, the result of his years of arduous cultivation rapidly dissipating.
Immediately, the light in his eyes dimmed completely, and his body fell straight backward with a thud, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
He looked down, staring incredulously at his body, which was cracking inch by inch, his eyes filled with boundless fear.
Finally, with a soft "crack," he was like a shattered porcelain doll, his body scattered into pieces of flesh on the ground.
It is bloody, yet imbued with a certain morbid artistic sensibility.
Xiao Zizai withdrew his hand, looked at his "masterpiece," and a satisfied, even somewhat intoxicated, smile appeared on his face.
"Amitabha, the world is now pure."
Chapter 226 The Cultivation Furnace Goes Berserk, Energy Frenzy
Biyou Village, once hailed as a paradise on earth, has been completely transformed into a battlefield of blood and fire on this night.
The forces of good and evil clashed here, with the company's agents fighting a desperate battle against Ma Xianhong's elite troops.
Countless powerful and distinct forces clashed, clashed, and ultimately annihilated within this small village.
Each burst of Qi that shot into the sky was like a blazing spark thrown into boiling oil. When they came together, they finally ignited the enormous cultivation furnace that was already on the verge of going out of control and was hidden underground.
“Buzz buzz—!”
A mournful cry, seemingly from the depths of the underworld, resounded from beneath the earth, its terrifying sound waves echoing throughout the entire Biyou Village.
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble violently, as if a sleeping ancient beast was awakening.
Thick black arcs of electricity, each as thick as a child's arm and brimming with pure destructive power, burst forth from the cracked earth like giant black pythons that had broken free from the shackles of endless ages, sweeping and devouring everything in all directions.
The cultivation furnace, located deep underground and serving as the core of energy supply for the entire Biyou Village, finally went completely out of control under the repeated attacks of various forces.
The mysterious energy core at the heart of the furnace, originating from the Kunlun Immortal Realm, has already collapsed and is beginning to leak out uncontrollably.
A devastating surge of energy, centered on the cultivation furnace, spread wildly outwards like a tsunami.
"what--!"
The piercing screams rose and fell, sounding particularly jarring amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
Those unarmed ordinary villagers affected by the energy wave, the moment their bodies came into contact with that black energy, were like wax figures thrown into aqua regia, emitting a terrifying "sizzling" sound as their flesh and blood melted away.
Their bodies twisted and swelled in an extremely bizarre way, and beneath their skin, it seemed as if countless living creatures were writhing and crawling wildly, creating bulges of varying sizes.
Dark, ominous patterns, resembling poisonous pills, spread rapidly across their bodies, covering them completely in an instant.
Within a few short breaths, their eyes lost all reason and humanity, leaving only pure, beast-like pain and madness.
In the deepest part of the village, in the small courtyard where he was placed under house arrest.
Chen Duo, who was staring blankly at the hellish scene outside the window, suddenly trembled as if struck by lightning.
For the first time, extreme pain appeared on her usually expressionless, delicate face.
The primal poison within her body resonated intensely the moment it came into contact with that equally potent and violent energy.
"Ugh..."
An uncontrollable groan escaped her throat. She clutched her chest, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground, her slender body convulsing violently as if she were being subjected to the torture of being slowly sliced to death.
Strands of black Qi, originating from the same source as the furnace core energy but even purer and more condensed, uncontrollably emanated from the acupoints around her body.
These black wisps of energy swirled in the air, creating a terrifying spectacle that echoed the raging energy surge outside.
She felt that every inch of her flesh and blood, every cell in her body, was being repeatedly torn apart and reassembled by an invisible force.
The pain, which originated from the deepest part of her being, far surpassed any of the torments she had ever experienced before.
She could "hear" the furnace groaning and collapsing.
The source within her, known as the "primal poison," is resonating with despair.
Beneath her skin, the black lines that had been difficult to suppress spread wildly at an unprecedented speed. They were no longer quiet patterns, but had turned into scorching hot irons, burning her nerves.
What terrified her even more was the feeling that "she" was slipping away.
It was as if... a part of her life was being forcibly ripped away and annihilated along with the collapse of that furnace.
She opened her mouth, but could not utter any cries for help; only cold breaths, carrying tiny, primal poison particles, escaped her lips.
It turns out that the "home" that Lao Ma talked about, from the very beginning, was like this furnace that was about to be destroyed—a bubble that could burst at any moment.
On the bamboo forest path.
Zhang Yunyuan, who was confronting Jin Yangzi, changed his expression drastically the moment he felt the destructive energy erupt.
His gaze pierced through the layers of buildings and trees in an instant, landing precisely on the girl who was lying on the ground in pain.
He saw the familiar black aura emanating from her body, and he saw the invisible yet real energy link between her and the out-of-control cultivation furnace.
All the clues and all the guesses suddenly connected in his mind at this moment.
A truth that chilled him to the bone and infuriated him clearly surfaced in his mind.
"I should have thought of that sooner!"
Zhang Yunyuan's heart trembled violently, and for the first time, a raging fire ignited in his eyes, which were always as calm as an ancient, deep pool.
"The best 'stabilizer' for the Body Cultivation Furnace to balance that domineering transformative power is the equally domineering yet controllable 'Primal Poison'!"
“Ma Xianhong may have unintentionally used her, but Jin Yangzi… you definitely know!”
He turned his head sharply, his cold eyes fixed on Jin Yangzi, his gaze seeming to want to devour him alive.
"Chen Duo herself is the most crucial 'living core' of the Body Refinement Furnace!"
"If the furnace is destroyed, she will be severely injured, or even... annihilated!"
At this moment, rescuing Chen Duo transformed from a "plan" that needed to be devised gradually into a life-saving operation that had to be executed immediately.
Zhang Yunyuan no longer hesitated in the slightest.
At this moment, his aura underwent a dramatic change.
That was no longer the vast Dao Qi belonging to innate masters, but a more ancient and profound terrifying aura that seemed capable of devouring everything and returning everything to chaos.
The air around him distorted, and the light seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness emanating from him.
With a low shout, he took a step forward.
He disregarded everything, enduring the mountain-like suppression brought by Jin Yangzi's magical artifact domain, transforming himself into a chaotic stream of light that tore through the sky, rushing towards Chen Duo's location with all his might.
Jin Yangzi's expression changed. He had not expected that the other party would unleash such terrifying determination and power for a mere "material".
He also realized the seriousness of the situation.
The furnace of self-cultivation can be destroyed, but the holy child with the poisonous body must never be harmed.
That was his key bargaining chip for returning to the Immortal Realm and gaining a higher status.
He roared back, channeling all his power into his magical artifact. With a swift movement, he too charged towards Chen Duo, attempting to intercept her.
The battle between the two escalated completely at this moment.
What started as a decisive duel has become a... life-or-death struggle.
Chapter 227 The Sorcerers Join Forces, Using Mystic Arts to Determine the Fate
Under Ma Xianhong's utter madness, the "Divine Machine Array" of Biyou Village has been transformed into a tireless, indiscriminate meat grinder.
Beneath the ground, countless array nodes that had been set up beforehand shone brightly with red light, turning the sky above the entire village into an ominous blood-red hue.
The walls flipped, the ground cracked, and countless bizarrely shaped divine creations surged out of the shadows, their eyes flashing with pure, bloodthirsty red light, rushing towards all living beings in their field of vision like a tidal wave.
"Holy crap! Ma Xianhong has really gone mad!"
