The followers of the Black Demon Cult were in a complete frenzy.
All of them had a Black Demon Needle pierced into themselves.
Some even plunged these needles into the ghost slaves or corpse slaves they controlled.
The Black Demon Needle was truly miraculous. Whether it pierced a corpse slave, a ghost slave, or even those skinless monsters, it could quickly make them go berserk and significantly enhance their strength.
With howls and groans, they began to charge at the reinforcements around them, engaging in bloody combat.
Qing Dai was instantly locked in battle with the tall demoness.
The tall demoness was also formidable.
For a time, she was able to fight Qing Dai to a standstill.
Meanwhile, around us, without Qing Dai's suppressive presence,
The wraiths and hordes of corpses that had surrounded us now suddenly surged forward.
Howling incessantly, they lunged with bared teeth and flailing claws.
Seeing this, Martial Uncle and Yunxia Gu immediately positioned themselves on either side of me, protecting me.
At the same time, I heard Martial Uncle speak:
"Xiao Mo, Qiu Xi, you two protect Xiao Qin."
"Understood, Martial Uncle."
"Don't worry, Master, I won't let Old Qin get hurt."
Xia Qiu Xi and Lao Mo both replied.
They shielded me from the center.
Yunxia Gu and Martial Uncle defended the outer perimeter, preparing for a bloody fight.
I managed to stand, barely holding my breath.
Without the ghost fortune money, I felt dizzy and my spirit was weak.
However, I didn't want to be a burden to everyone.
I bit my tongue, letting the pain stimulate me, sharpen my senses, and clear my mind.
At the very least, I wouldn't cause trouble for them.
Simultaneously, I began to channel my wood-attribute Dao Qi.
Wood-attribute Dao Qi had restorative properties.
I circulated it through my body, aiding in my recovery.
Of course, I knew very well.
This wasn't an injury, but a threat to my life.
The ghost fortune money was my lifeline, my vitality, my spiritual energy, and my lamp oil.
Now that the lamp was shattered, my spiritual energy and vitality were gone.
My lamp was reduced to the last embers of oil in the wick, threatening to extinguish at any moment.
The method I was using now was akin to killing the chicken to get the eggs.
It would only allow me to barely cope with the current situation without appearing too disheveled and weak.
But I couldn't afford to think about that.
My fate was ill-starred; I was born with a Yin constitution, attracting ghosts from birth.
After struggling to survive until now, I found a Master, learned formidable Daoist techniques,
And gathered a certain amount of ghost fortune lamp oil to prolong my life.
But now, the lamp oil was gone.
My vitality and spirit were lost, and I was on the brink of death.
I desperately wanted to live, but that didn't mean I wanted to drag down my friends and brothers.
Even if I had to die, I wanted to die with dignity.
I would not drag down my friends and brothers.
The stinging sensation gave my depleted spirit a flicker of energy, a small measure of resolve.
Looking at the oncoming hordes of ghosts, I glared at them fiercely, gripping my long sword.
"Qin Ze, are you coughing blood? Quick, sit down and rest. We can protect you."
Xia Qiu Xi saw the blood on my lips and thought I was coughing blood, saying this.
"Old Qin, you've lost your ghost fortune money. Stop fighting now; we're here for you."
Lao Mo also chimed in.
But I spoke in a low voice:
"Don't worry, everyone. I'm alright.
You've all done enough for me.
And you're all injured.
I, I won't drag you all down anymore.
I can take care of myself..."
I spoke sternly, my tone serious and sincere, without any pretense.
These words came from the bottom of my heart.
Even though I had Xia Qiu Xi, a friend with whom I shared life and death, and Mo Ting, a brother who would stand by me through thick and thin.
And Martial Uncle, who was like a father to me, and the kind and respected Yunxia Gu.
I couldn't let myself become a burden to them any further.
The fact that they came with me to this place and are all injured is something I am deeply grateful for.
I cannot add any more pressure to them because of me...
Lao Mo and Qiu Xi both paused for a moment.
Lao Mo understood me, knew my character, and recognized my integrity.
He saw that I didn't want to be a burden to them.
He smiled calmly:
"Alright, since you can still hold on.
We, the Twin Demon Exorcists, will show these wraiths and corpse slaves a thing or two."
Xia Qiu Xi also understood me and Lao Mo.
Passionate and impulsive, hating evil with a fierce passion.
Steadfast and upright, fearless and brave.
Even though injured and unable to stand steadily, unwilling to drag others down.
They were determined to fight these wicked spirits to the bitter end.
She pursed her lips and then said:
"Then you Twin Demon Exorcists better not fall midway."
"Qiu Xi, don't worry, I haven't killed enough!"
Lao Mo said in a deep voice, looking at the charging horde.
I also managed to hold my breath and said:
"I will definitely hold on until the end."
As soon as we finished speaking.
We heard two "Awoo" sounds, and a group of wraiths had broken through Martial Uncle and Yunxia Gu's defenses, swooping down towards us.
"They're here!"
Xia Qiu Xi warned, raising her hand and firing a steel needle, wounding a wraith.
She drew her sword and began to fight...
Lao Mo, wielding his dual axes:
"Our resolve is to charge forward, with no thought of survival, Ah!"
With a roar, he raised his dual axes and met a wraith.
Although my spirit was somewhat dazed, and I had lost some blood earlier.
My dantian contained ample supply of the Two Pearls' spiritual energy.
The cold and heat continuously clashed within my dantian.
This was the perfect opportunity to release it all.
To alleviate the pain in my dantian...
Using my tongue-tip blood, I drew a line on my long sword, opening the sword with blood to increase its magical power.
My left hand swiftly formed a hand seal, and I unleashed the strongest Daoist technique, the third profound art of the Qiankun True Method, the 'Mie' character spell.
"Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun is without law, Mie!"
With a mighty roar.
I pointed directly at three wraiths.
My long sword slashed down.
With a thunderous impact, the unleashed protective energy, carrying Yin and Yang energies.
One of the wraiths was instantly annihilated by the True Spell's aura, its soul scattered.
The other two wraiths.
One was incinerated by the Yang energy from the Yang Gathering Pearl, burning to ashes.
The other was frozen solid by the Yin energy from the Yin Gathering Pearl, shattering into ice fragments.
Tonight, I was destined to fight with all my might for my own life...
