Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 379 I treated you like a brother, but you want to be my daughter?

As Jiang Xiyu spoke, she waved the sky-covering Soul Banner, and with all her might, a gigantic vortex appeared in the sky. Countless souls flew out of the vortex, roaring and howling. Their shrill cries, uttered in extreme pain and reaching the depths of their souls, converged into a chilling wind. The scene resembled the end of the world.

"Woo-woo-woo-!!!"

An indescribable shriek suddenly erupted! It wasn't a single sound, but a soul storm formed by the superposition and distortion of billions of sounds, instantly tearing apart the heavy air and shattering the mental defenses of all cultivators. Countless cultivators clutched their heads in agony, blood seeping from their seven orifices.

Those were the souls and fierce spirits of living beings who had been forcibly imprisoned, refined, and accumulated over countless years! They swept down from the sky, carrying boundless resentment and a mad thirst for the flesh and soul of living beings!

Desperate cries instantly replaced the battle cries.

Some cultivators with insufficient strength could not resist the vortex's suction force and their physical bodies instantly shattered into powder. Their souls were sucked into the Emperor's Banner and soon joined the ranks of billions of living souls. The others struggled to resist the Emperor's Banner's suction force while also resisting the invasion of their souls.

However, the real purgatory has only just begun.

Those grayish-white phantoms of fierce spirits ignored the protective spiritual light that the cultivators had hastily erected, which was now as dim as paper. Like invisible ghosts, they directly pierced through their robes and flesh, and fiercely drilled into their bodies!
One by one, the souls of cultivators were forcibly dragged out, torn apart, and devoured by those greedy and fierce spirits! The entire Emerald Feather Valley was instantly shrouded in a thick, impenetrable gray-white mist.

Within the mist, countless phantom souls, driven to the extreme of pain and despair, struggled, wailed, and dissipated, ultimately transforming into streams of pure yet chilling soul power, flowing like rivers into the sea, greedily absorbed by the high-hanging black banner.

The dark gold and pale green runes flowing on the banner absorbed the fresh essence of the souls, becoming increasingly eerie and dazzling. With each flicker, more and more mournful howls of souls surged forth, forming an endless cycle of death.

Jiang Xiyu, her bare, spotless jade feet treading across the cold, muddy battlefield strewn with shattered magical artifacts, severed limbs, and frozen pools of blood. Her steps were light, yet each one struck the shattering hearts of all the survivors, producing a silent cracking sound.

Those fierce spirits and living souls that had lost their controller and were now dancing wildly, like the most obedient servants, automatically parted a path in the churning gray-white soul mist at her feet, then silently closed behind her, continuing their merciless harvest.

Holding Duan Huaige, she walked indifferently past countless corpses, lowering her eyes and whispering, "Little Duan... don't be afraid... I'll be back to join you soon... I'll kill them all soon, very soon... just wait a little longer."

"Xiao Duan, do you think this so-called spiritual energy revival is no fun at all? I really miss the days when we used to go to the school gate to buy dinner together... If none of this had happened, would we have gone through school, graduated, gotten married, had children... and lived a normal and happy life..."

Upon seeing this, Duan Huaige shuddered violently. Could this scene be the one where Xiao Jiang inherits the world-destroying karma of Taiqing after I die?
Oh no, Xiao Jiang has set me up. What's with this: "Since Huai Ge is dead, I have no intention of arguing right and wrong anymore?"

I haven't even put on this act yet!

At this moment, Yan Qiuxi's figure appeared again in the illusory image. Her three thousand strands of hair turned into a stream of light that enveloped her until she was close enough to dissipate. When she saw the prisoner in Jiang Xiyu's arms, Miss Qiuxi's pupils shrank suddenly, as if she could hardly believe it.

Fortunately, Yan Qiuxi quickly forced herself to calm down and said to Xiao Jiang, "Jiang Xiyu! If you want to continue wasting time killing here, then you can stay here. I'm going to take Huaige away to save him!"

"What do you mean... Huai Ge can still be saved!" Jiang Xiyu cried out as if she had grasped at a lifeline, her previously gloomy eyes suddenly lighting up: "Tell me! How can we save him!"

"Go find A-Jiang first! But be quick! Otherwise it will be too late! We must reverse the flow of cause and effect before Taiqing does! Otherwise, if the only cultivator of the Mountain and River Dao in this world perishes, Taiqing will have no more scruples!"

The scene ended there, and Duan Huaige was stunned for a long time before he realized that this seemed to be some things that had happened after he died…

So, after I accidentally died, Xiao Jiang immediately activated his true Demon King form, but Yan Qiuxi stopped him and said that I could still be saved...

No wonder I received my first system task in the evening when Xiao Jiang and I were buying dinner and heading back to the classroom... It turns out it was all because Xiao Jiang had set all the flags!
Duan Huaige's feelings were very complicated. So, the reason he died was related to both the Taiqing government and the military? Then which side was the real cause?

……

Meanwhile, in the distant void, Taiqing seemed to sense some kind of aura, opened his eyes, and looked towards the direction of Jiangnan with surprise and uncertainty.

Has that brat refined the Mountain and River Dao Pill? Could it be that the divination that the Heavenly Mystery Daoist cast for me back then was about to happen to this person?

A rare look of solemnity appeared on Taiqing's face. The fact that the Little Demon King Jiang had reversed the flow of cause and effect and severely injured her was completely unexpected, even making her begin to doubt the truth of certain events…

No, we can't delay any longer. At Duan Huaige's growth rate, if I give him a few more fragments of the Jiangshan Sheji Map to refine and develop, he'll probably be able to suppress and seal me back down!
Taiqing secretly made up his mind, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. This was a race against time; the loser would never be able to turn the tide.

……

Duan Huaige didn't dwell on it for too long, since thinking about such things too much could easily lead to misunderstandings. Taking it one step at a time was the safest approach.

As the illusions faded, Duan Huaige looked down to check his condition. The instant the Dao Pill took shape, an indescribable, immense suction force erupted from it! The raging tribulation clouds, as if seized by an invisible giant hand, transformed into a massive funnel-shaped vortex! The extremely pure primordial energy of heaven and earth, mixed with the lingering power of thunder, formed a visible torrent of milky white and pale purple, which was greedily devoured by the newly formed Dao Pill.

This immense energy not only healed the injuries Duan Huaige sustained during his Core Formation, but the leaked energy also nourished the Spirit Nourishing Tree, which had been diligently protecting its source of sustenance. Purple lightning flickered faintly among the branches, making it appear even more extraordinary.

Inside the trunk of the Spirit Tree, a cocoon of light was slowly taking shape, inside which slept a figure, its long hair wrapped around it like vines.

Duan Huaige: ?

No, Ah Cao, I treat you like a brother, you don't want to be my daughter, do you?
