After transmigrating into the body of the Jade Rat Spirit, I became Nezha's adopted sister.

Not far away, deep in the dense forest, came unusual noises.

A whooshing sound came from afar, and a chilling, evil aura spread from there!

This evil energy shares the same origin as the skinny man in black robes from that night, but it is more than ten times stronger!

"Xuan Yin Sect!" Bai Yeying's heart skipped a beat, and her body tensed instantly. Ignoring her wounds, she grabbed the Black Shadow Whip beside her, held her breath, and concealed her aura to the extreme, crouching like a withered tree in the shadow of several rocks and vines.

Almost simultaneously, a dark figure was blasted away, crashing like a tattered sack at the edge of the open space!

It was an old man wearing a dark green robe, now in a sorry state, his robe torn in many places, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and a ghost-headed staff wrapped in black mist in his hand.

It was none other than Elder Black Fiend, the one the skinny man in black robes had mentioned! At this moment, however, his breathing was disordered, and his chest was heaving violently, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious internal injuries.

After landing, he staggered a few steps before barely managing to stand, his eyes flashing with shock, anger, and resentment as he stared intently in the direction from which they had come.

The next moment, crimson flames tore through the darkness of the forest!

Nezha stepped through the void, descending step by step from the treetops. His red robes fluttered, his silver armor gleamed, and the red mark on his forehead stood out even more brightly in the evil-filled environment.

He walked slowly, almost leisurely. He casually held the fire-tipped spear in his right hand, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground, tapping it lightly once in a daze.

The Hun Tian Ling moved around him without wind, winding and stretching, silently washing away and dispelling the chilling aura that tried to approach.

The boy's handsome face was expressionless, showing neither the fierce killing intent of someone chasing a powerful enemy nor the excitement of impending success.

There was only an almost bored indifference, as if the Xuan Yin Sect elder who terrified Bai Yeying was nothing more than an eyesore on the roadside that needed to be kicked away, nothing more.

"You run fast." Nezha stopped three zhang away from Elder Heisha, his voice clear and bright. "Unfortunately, you're useless."

Elder Black Fiend, panting heavily, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and hatred, cried out, "Nezha! My Xuan Yin Sect and your Heavenly Court have never crossed paths! Why do you relentlessly pursue us, determined to wipe us out?!"

"Keep your distance?" Nezha raised an eyebrow, as if he had heard something interesting.

"Using living souls to forge banners, nourishing evil spirits with yin energy, and disrupting the earth's energy—is this what you call keeping to your own devices?"

He paused, raised the tip of his spear, and pointed it lightly at Elder Black Fiend: "This prince is in a bad mood today, and I find you particularly displeasing. Is that reason enough?"

This reason is so arrogant that it's unreasonable, yet it exudes a sense of self-righteous arrogance.

Elder Black Fiend trembled with rage, yet knew that things would not end well today. He gritted his teeth, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes, and slammed his ghost-headed staff heavily onto the ground!

"Buzz—!"

Phosphorescent flames blazed brightly in the eyes of the staff-headed skull, and foul-smelling blood suddenly gushed from the surrounding ground!

The foul blood spread rapidly, transforming into a strange array that protected Elder Black Fiend in the center.

At the same time, countless twisted and tormented phantoms of living souls shrieked as they flew out of the staff, baring their fangs and claws, carrying a chilling coldness and resentment, and swarmed towards Nezha!

Hundred Ghosts Devour Souls! This is his trump card, a desperate move, incredibly powerful but also with a strong backlash. He would never use it lightly unless forced into a desperate situation.

In an instant, a cold wind howled across the open space, ghostly shadows loomed, the temperature plummeted, and even the light seemed to be swallowed up by the dense evil energy and resentment, becoming extremely dim.

Bai Yeying watched from the shadows, her heart pounding with fear. The shrieks of those living souls pierced her very soul, making her head spin and filling her with rage. These were innocent people who had been brutally murdered by the Xuan Yin Sect!

Nezha, who was in the eye of the storm, didn't even flinch.

He didn't even make any defensive or evasive gestures; he just looked at the hideous ghostly figures rushing towards him with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

"Quarrel."

His thin lips parted slightly, uttering only one word.

The next moment, his body suddenly burst forth with an extremely intense light!

That was not flame, but a divine light of crimson gold that seemed capable of burning away all the filth in the world!

The light was not dazzling, but it carried an irresistible heat, like the rising sun, instantly dispelling all the gloom and cold!

After the sizzling sound, the phantoms of living souls that rushed into the range of the divine light were like snow meeting the blazing sun. Before they could even scream, they were quickly melted in the light, turning into wisps of green smoke, and finally completely annihilated, leaving no trace.

The pain contorted on their faces seemed to dissipate, and they returned to calm.

Elder Black Fiend's renowned Hundred Ghosts Soul Devouring Technique proved utterly fragile and vulnerable before this pure divine light!

Elder Black Fiend in the formation was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The phosphorescent flame on the Ghost Head Staff dimmed instantly, and he collapsed to the ground, his face filled with despair and defeat.

His magic weapon, which enabled him to wreak havoc, was destroyed, and his evil magic backfired, leaving him powerless to fight again.

The divine light emanating from Nezha slowly receded. He stepped forward, treading over the rapidly evaporating and disappearing blood-stained array, and walked towards the limp Elder Heisha. His footsteps were clearly audible in the suddenly silent open space.

He stopped in front of Elder Black Fiend, looking down at him condescendingly.

Elder Black Fiend struggled to raise his head, looking at the boy's face, which was even more handsome and awe-inspiring in the afterglow of the divine light, yet cold and devoid of any warmth. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to beg for mercy, but he could not utter a complete sound.

Nezha was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he raised his Fire-Tipped Spear and aimed the tip at Nezha's brow.

Just as the spear tip was about to fall and end the life of this evil cultivator, a sudden change occurred!

A fierce and insane glint suddenly flashed in Elder Heisha's eyes! With his last bit of strength, he hurled the ghost-headed staff in his hand, its spiritual light already dimmed!

The target was not Nezha, but Bai Yeying, who was hiding in the shadow of the rocks to the side!

The ghost-headed staff suddenly exploded in mid-air! It wasn't a magical artifact self-destructing, but rather the last bit of core Yin energy sealed within, along with a wisp of remnant soul desperately activated by Elder Black Fiend, transformed into an incomparably sinister black light, directly devouring Bai Yeying's brow!

This old devil was determined to take someone down with him even in his dying moments, and with his sharp eyes, he instantly spotted the third person in the arena with the weakest aura!

"Watch out!" Nezha's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out a shout. He reacted extremely quickly, changing the direction of his Fire-Tipped Spear. The crimson-gold spear light struck first, slashing towards the dark light!

However, the dark light was too close to Bai Yeying and its speed was incredibly fast. Although the spear light destroyed most of it, a small wisp of it remained and burrowed into Bai Yeying's forehead!

"Ugh!" Bai Yeying felt a chill between her brows, as if an ice pick had pierced her hard. A chilling aura instantly invaded her mind, stirring it wildly! Her vision went black, and she swayed precariously.

At the same time, Elder Heisha, who had lost his last support, was completely annihilated by Nezha's follow-up shot, turning into ashes.

Nezha didn't even glance at the dissipating ashes. In a flash, he appeared beside Bai Yeying and caught her as she collapsed.

"Bai Yeying!" he called out, his brows furrowed, and reached out to touch her forehead.
