"This time, it's all thanks to Xiao Ziyu!"
"Indeed, it's truly touching!"
The two old men gratefully patted the walls woven from vines beside them.
They even rubbed their faces against them.
"Master, can you please ask the two elders to stop..." Ziyu's dejected voice echoed in Ye Fan's mind again. "It's too disgusting, it's distracting me..."
"Second Elder, Master." Ye Fan helplessly pulled the two old men apart. "Stop fooling around, it will affect Ziyu's fight."
"Oh, alright!" The two old men were obedient and stood to the side meekly.
"I didn't expect Miss Ziyu to be so formidable!" True Master Ziyun exclaimed with emotion.
The others also looked at Wang Yang with envy.
Wang Yang's own strength was very poor, but was that important?
Who would have thought that it was a white-furred demon ape from the Nascent Soul stage!
With such a formidable wife, he could practically walk sideways in the cultivation world from now on!
To them, the Nascent Soul stage or the Tribulation Crossing stage made little difference.
They were all terrifying existences they dared not look up to!
That's right.
Up to this point, they still believed this thing was a white-furred demon ape from the Nascent Soul stage.
If they knew it was a White Reaper comparable to the early stage of the Integration stage, who knew what they would think...
Wang Yang immediately held his head high with pride.
He felt so good inside!
To be able to marry such a wife, Wang Yang's ancestors must have smoked a lot of green smoke from their graves!
At this moment, they believed that their side had already secured victory.
"Master, I can't maintain this state for too long." Ziyu's voice sounded in Ye Fan's mind. "You should think of a way quickly."
After all, Ziyu only had the cultivation of the Soul Transformation stage.
Being able to fight without losing against an opponent of a much higher stage was already unreasonable.
However...
That was all it could do!
Once this burst of power subsided, everything would return to the starting point.
After about ten seconds of fighting, the system's golden rope dimmed significantly again!
"Roar—!"
Following the White Reaper's fierce roar, the demonic energy around it intensified!
However, it did not continue to attack. Instead, it yanked hard on its left arm.
The chain restraining its left arm immediately straightened, and it actually intended to break free from that chain!
"Rumble—!"
Everyone felt the ground beneath them shake!
And the pillar that fixed the chain tilted at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Ziyu quickly diverted all her tentacles, attempting to prevent this from happening!
One chain had already made her extremely strained.
If it were to free up another one, there would be no more room to play!
Unfortunately, the effect was not very ideal.
After only a few seconds, it failed!
"Crack!"
A snapping sound was heard.
The White Reaper had actually broken the chain!
However, it still did not attack. Instead, it slammed its hands against the chains binding its feet!
"Bang bang bang bang bang—!"
The immense force made the entire stone platform tremble as if it had experienced an earthquake!
Ziyu quickly shifted her target, wrapping her thick vines around the White Reaper's arms.
She was trying to prevent it from breaking free from the chains by doing this.
The White Reaper ignored these vines, focusing entirely on smashing.
As a result, several of Ziyu's vines were torn off...
Everyone could clearly feel the protective barrier woven from vines tremble a few times.
Perhaps it was in pain...
Perhaps it was due to the passage of too much time that these iron chains had become fragile.
After dozens of blows, it had actually smashed them apart!
"Roar—!"
The White Reaper immediately beat its chest with its hands, roaring ferociously.
As if to vent the suppressed rage of so long!
After venting, the White Reaper finally shifted its gaze back to Ziyu.
Its eyes were filled with ferocity and a bloodthirsty aura!
Only by tearing everything before it to shreds could its rage be completely appeased!
"Hoo—!"
Two iron chains, accompanied by a fierce wind, smashed down hard towards Ziyu!
Previously, when it fought Ziyu, it had only used the strength of its right arm.
Now, with its entire body exerting force, the power of the attack had multiplied several times!
It was even stronger than before it was restrained by the system!
"Crack—!"
The moment they clashed, all of Ziyu's vines were severed!
"Ah!"
Ziyu cried out in pain and quickly conjured new vines.
As a result, they were also severed in the next encounter!
"Master, I can't hold on anymore..." Ziyu's pained and weak voice echoed in Ye Fan's mind. "If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to last until the end of the time limit..."
Suddenly.
The little demoness beside them exuded a vast demonic energy!
Her entire being was completely enveloped in black mist!
True Master Ziyun and the others were instantly stunned!
They were not unfamiliar with demonic energy.
They had clashed with cultivators of the demonic path before.
That time, they had suffered heavy losses and had only managed to subdue them after a great deal of effort.
But now, they realized that the demonic energy of that demonic cultivator was like a firefly compared to the radiance of the sun and moon next to the little demoness!
Could this seemingly dazed young lady be from the demonic path?!
However, they also knew that this was not the time to investigate these matters.
One by one, they looked at the little demoness nervously, hoping for a miracle.
"I took a bit of time just now." The little demoness said to Ye Fan. "But I can only delay things for a while. The rest is up to you!"
"Miss Ziyu, please open a path for me!"
Ziyu quickly opened a gap in the vine wall, and the little demoness flew out through the opening.
Once outside, the little demoness immediately took out the soft whip and lashed it towards the monstrous beast!
Infused with demonic energy, the whip instantly grew to a hundred zhang in length!
Although there was only one, its might was subtly even greater than Ziyu's tentacles!
This was because when the whip body came into contact with the chains, it did not break like Ziyu's tentacles!
The black whip body, like a black dragon, firmly locked the two chains!
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Oh dear, it's finally stable...
Unfortunately, they were happy a bit too soon...
"Roar—!"
The White Reaper let out a furious roar and actually pulled the little demoness, whip and all, towards it!
At the same time, its entire body sprang up, and its sharp fangs lunged towards the little demoness!
"Trouble..."
The little demoness's heart suddenly sank!
Her current state was awakened during her last period of unconsciousness as a demon human.
Unfortunately, the time was too short, and this move was still in its nascent stage.
The effort to lock those two chains had already been her limit!
If she were to be bitten by that mouth, her small frame wouldn't be able to withstand it!
At the critical moment, several thick vines flew in from the side.
The blood-crazed White Reaper immediately lunged towards the vines to tear at them.
This slight pause successfully allowed the little demoness to dodge the attack.
From then on, the little demoness dared not confront the White Reaper head-on, and began to kite and harass it.
Ziyu, on the other hand, focused entirely on providing support, occasionally landing a hit on the White Reaper.
Although she couldn't inflict effective damage, the harassment effect was quite good.
However, both of them knew that this precarious equilibrium was temporary.
Ziyu's transformation state had not much time left.
The little demoness's move consumed a terrifying amount of demonic energy and could not last long either.
In the end, it would still depend on Ye Fan...
Soon, things got even worse.
The system's golden rope dimmed significantly again!
