Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 117 Annihilating the Nightmare Demon Akari (Part Two)
Upon hearing this, Xingbai wrinkled its fox nose, pondered for a moment, and then slowly nodded, saying, "Hanhan, your analysis is correct. You must know that to cultivate to such a powerful level with just a wisp of divine soul is clearly not something that can be achieved in a short time."

Xingbai's gaze fell on Mei'er not far away again, a deep worry showing in his eyes.

Gu Shihan stood there, clenching her fists, her heart pounding with anxiety. She muttered to herself, "Xingbai, do we really have the ability to keep those two here today? To be honest, I have absolutely no confidence..."

At this moment, a human and a fox were standing there talking in hushed tones. Shi Qinghan's gaze slowly shifted to the mysterious stone coffin. He frowned slightly and asked, "Little sister, things have come to this point, shouldn't we make our move?"

The woman beside Shi Qinghan nodded without hesitation and decisively replied, "Let's do it, Big Brother! You and Long Teng deal with the man in black robes, and I'll handle this woman. Xingbai, you and Yutong work together, using your binding power to protect our surroundings. Yutong, later you will unleash Phoenix Fire to set up a tight fire barrier. We must not allow the Nightmare Demon Akali's soul any chance to escape, not even the slightest bit!"

Upon receiving the order, Xingbai immediately used his binding power to carefully escort Shi Qinghan closer to the man in black robes. Once the distance was right, he suddenly expanded the binding range, covering the entire stone cave.

Just then, Gu Shihan waved her arm lightly, and Yu Tong instantly appeared from the space. With a wave of her hands, the blazing phoenix fire spread rapidly, completely enveloping the entire stone cave in the blink of an eye.

Their actions immediately alerted the enemy. The man in black robes was the first to notice the anomaly, and he roared, "Who is it? How dare you hide like this? Show yourself!"

Faced with the black-robed man's provocation, Shi Qinghan did not hesitate at all. With a thought, Long Teng rushed out of the space, spewing out a ball of blazing flames that swept towards the black-robed man like a surging torrent.

The long-range sword, flashing a dazzling red light, followed closely behind, its fierce and unparalleled momentum aimed straight at the black-robed man's vitals.

In an instant, a thrilling battle officially began.

On the other side of the battlefield, Gu Shihan was equally unyielding. With the Silk Sound Sword in her left hand and the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire in her right, she resembled a blooming blood-red lotus, sweeping over the woman opposite her with overwhelming force.

Without a second thought, the enchantress Mei'er charged straight at them, but as soon as she lifted her foot, her heart skipped a beat, and an extremely dangerous feeling surged into her heart.

She dared not hesitate any longer. With a flicker, she transformed into a wisp of black smoke and fled into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

However, how could Gu Shihan let her escape so easily? She shouted, "Xingbai, Yutong, we can't let her get away!"

Before the sound faded, the originally raging Red Lotus Karmic Fire suddenly changed, transforming into a huge fire net that quickly covered the entire stone cave and began to shrink little by little.

At the same time, the phoenix fire unleashed by Yu Tong spread like wildfire, burning every inch of space inside the stone cave.

The enchantress Mei'er dodged left and right, but she could never escape the encirclement of this sea of ​​fire.

In the end, she had no choice but to stop and reform into human form. Her gaze turned to Gu Shihan, and a silver-yellow light flickered in her eyes.

Xingbai, who was standing nearby, hurriedly shouted, "Hanhan, whatever you do, don't look her in the eye!"

Gu Shihan naturally understood that the woman was using a seductive technique, and dared not be careless in the slightest. His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals and manipulating the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire to continuously tighten the encirclement, trapping the woman firmly. Mei'er, trapped in the fire, was now terrified, deeply feeling the immense threat emanating from the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire.

Despite her usual skill set, she was powerless to use any of them against this terrifying flame.

"Human, this is the Red Lotus Karma?! Has the Red Lotus Karma Fire been reborn? Human, please, have mercy and stop burning! If you spare me, I will give you whatever you want without hesitation!"

"Hmph, let you go? Nightmare Demon Akari, you wish! You've got some nerve, daring to reach out so far."

"Let me tell you the truth, those cultivators you secretly planted in the Five Flowers Sect have already been exposed by us. Today, I'm here specifically to cut off your escape route! If you had just stayed put, being sealed away would have been fine, but you actually dared to dream of going out and continuing to wreak havoc on the cultivation world—that's utterly delusional!"

Gu Shihan's eyes widened in anger, and she let out a sharp shout. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire in her hand burned even more fiercely, like a fiery dragon with its claws outstretched.

As the fire intensified, the ring of fire surrounding the woman shrank, trapping her inside.

Seeing that things were not going well, the woman used her magic again to transform into a cloud of smoke, attempting to sneak into the stone coffin next to her to escape the burning of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Gu Shihan was quick-witted and agile; how could she let her escape and succeed so easily? With a thought, she manipulated the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and pounced forward.

A series of shrill screams rang out, sharp and piercing, sending chills down one's spine.

Gradually, the woman's cries grew weaker and weaker until they disappeared completely.

"Could I just die like this? Or have I completely vanished?" Despite this, Gu Shihan dared not let her guard down. She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

Immediately afterwards, as if receiving a command, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire surged in through the newly appeared gap and rushed straight towards the stone coffin.

The stone coffin began to shake violently, as if something inside was struggling and resisting desperately.

Judging from the situation, it's highly likely that the Nightmare Demon Akari is unwilling to accept this! How could it be willing to be trapped in a cage like this, and how could it be willing to disappear into the world?
It must have been trying its best to break free from those many constraints, attempting to escape far away.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the fierce battle was nearing its end. Shi Qinghan, wielding a long sword, moved with lightning speed, instantly stabbing towards the vital point of one of the black-robed men.

In the blink of an eye, just as the incredibly sharp blade pierced the opponent's body, Long Teng suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a raging fireball.

The fireball dispersed rapidly after being released, and then flames suddenly rose up like a raging dragon, tightly coiling around the black-robed man's body.
