When Zhou Wen gave the order, Ji Ning's expression shifted slightly.
She had just signed a life-bound contract with Ye Ling; how could she possibly strike him down?
Seeing Ji Ning's silence, Zhou Wen frowned and urged her, "What are you waiting for? I told you to kill Ye Ling!"
Ji Ning trembled and no longer dared to hesitate. She immediately condensed ice armor around her body and formed an ice spear in her hand.
Zhou Wen grinned at this and immediately set up a barrier around the Forest of Death, locking down the entire space-time and trapping both Ji Ning and Ye Ling within the barrier.
"Boss Ji, I've set up the battlefield for you. Kill Ye Ling in here and complete your revenge."
"Don't worry, within my barrier, even you can't escape, and Ye Ling certainly won't be able to!" Zhou Wen said, then retreated outside the barrier to monitor the fight between Ji Ning and Ye Ling from afar.
As Ji Ning saw Zhou Wen retreat outside the barrier, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
"He talks a good game, but in reality, he just wants me to die... Zhou Wen, you just wait!"
Ji Ning cursed inwardly, but she still pretended to charge towards Ye Ling, simultaneously transmitting a message to him: "Ye Ling, Zhou Wen has trapped us all in this barrier. I can't break his barrier, how should we escape?"
Ye Ling quickly replied, "What's your current condition? If you're up for it, I'll have Tian Xing come directly. We can strike while the iron is hot and take down Zhou Wen right here."
"No... Zhou Wen has injured my soul. I can't even exert fifty percent of my strength right now. I need some time to recover!" Ji Ning replied.
"Is that so..." Ye Ling lowered his eyelids. "It seems we'll have to retreat first."
"Do you have a way to escape Zhou Wen's barrier?" Ji Ning's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly asked Ye Ling.
"Yes, I can break his barrier. Find an opportunity to hit me towards the edge of the barrier, and I'll take you out of the barrier, and you can teleport us away. We need to be fast, or Zhou Wen will stop us," Ye Ling said quickly.
"No problem!"
Ji Ning replied excitedly, then instantly appeared before Ye Ling and struck him in the chest with her palm!
*Bang!!!*
Ye Ling took a heavy blow and flew out like a cannonball, crashing hard against Zhou Wen's barrier, causing ripples to spread across it.
"Hahaha! Good, that's the way! Ji Ning, keep going!"
Outside, Zhou Wen laughed heartily upon seeing Ji Ning land a heavy blow on Ye Ling, urging Ji Ning to continue.
The moment Ye Ling hit the barrier, he immediately used Myriad World Insight to try and break through Zhou Wen's barrier.
"Ye Ling, can you do it?" Ji Ning quickly transmitted.
"Of course, I can. Come closer, I'll take you out. Prepare to tear space, and we'll teleport away together!" Ye Ling replied swiftly.
"Okay!"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Ji Ning didn't hesitate. She charged towards Ye Ling with great momentum, seemingly intending to kill him with one blow.
"Yes, that's it, kill him! Ji Ning!" Zhou Wen shouted excitedly, his eyes turning scarlet!
However, just as Ji Ning's ice spear was about to pierce Ye Ling, her ice spear and armor rapidly melted, and she moved swiftly towards Ye Ling.
Zhou Wen was stunned.
With one hand on Zhou Wen's barrier, Ye Ling put his other arm around Ji Ning's slender waist, inhaled the fragrant scent, and chuckled, "Senior Ji, are you ready?"
Ji Ning pressed herself as close to Ye Ling as possible and said quickly, "I'm ready here! Let's go!"
"Alright!"
Ye Ling chuckled, using Myriad World Insight to penetrate Zhou Wen's barrier, and pulled Ji Ning out with him!
The moment they exited, Ji Ning immediately wrapped her arms around Ye Ling, tore open a spatial rift, and pulled Ye Ling into it.
"You two scoundrels, you won't escape!"
From behind, Zhou Wen, who had reacted, roared. He rushed into the spatial rift with incredible speed, his eyes red as he lunged at Ye Ling and Ji Ning!
Under Zhou Wen's powerful pressure, the entire spatial rift showed signs of collapse!
"This is bad! Zhou Wen has disrupted the spatial rift, I can't pinpoint a specific coordinate to teleport out!" Ji Ning's expression changed slightly as she realized she couldn't leave the spatial rift, and cried out in alarm.
"Just teleport to any random place, let's get out first!"
Ye Ling shouted, then shattered his own heart meridians and spat out a large mouthful of poisonous blood.
Under the influence of the spatial storm, Ye Ling's poisonous blood instantly filled the entire spatial rift, and the potent poison of the Myriad Poison Beast began to contaminate the space.
Seeing the poisonous substance filling the space, Zhou Wen's expression changed drastically. Fearing even a trace of the Myriad Poison Beast's poison, he retreated outside the spatial rift, waiting for the rift to completely purge the poison.
However, Ji Ning took advantage of this gap to randomly open an exit.
"Ye Ling, let's go!"
Ji Ning, disregarding what lay on the other side of the spatial rift, immediately pulled Ye Ling and plunged in.
The moment Ye Ling left the spatial rift, he used runes to conceal their auras, completely leaving the Forest of Death.
Zhou Wen, still in the Forest of Death, lost their traces and his face became extremely grim.
He silently watched the spatial rift slowly close, his body beginning to tremble slightly.
"Impressive! Truly impressive!"
"Ye Ling... Ji Ning... I've remembered you both. No one has ever escaped from my hands before, and you two are no exception!"
"Ye Ling, Ji Ning... you just wait for me!!!"
*Boom!!!*
Zhou Wen roared, his violent aura surging outwards in all directions. The surrounding land instantly turned into nothingness.
Countless living beings suffered undeserved calamities due to Zhou Wen's rage.
On the other side, an unknown land. Da Feng Novel Network.
On a floating island.
Ye Ling and Ji Ning tumbled out of the spatial rift, their blood instantly staining the grass.
"Cough cough!"
Ye Ling propped himself up with his hands on the grass, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, even expelling fragments of his internal organs. The surrounding grass withered instantly upon contact with Ye Ling's blood.
After spitting out the blood, Ye Ling could no longer hold on and fainted.
"Ye Ling?"
Seeing Ye Ling's condition, Ji Ning's expression changed slightly. She hurried to support Ye Ling, only to find that his internal organs were completely shattered, and the poison of the Myriad Poison Beast was eroding his soul!
"Damn it! I don't want to be buried with you!"
Sensing Ye Ling's physical state, Ji Ning realized she might be killed by Ye Ling due to the life-bound contract. She immediately tried to dissolve the contract.
But before she could even touch the contract, she also spat out two mouthfuls of blood, her internal organs rapidly withered, and even her soul became weak.
Under the influence of the life-bound contract, Ye Ling passively absorbed Ji Ning's life force, and Ji Ning also rapidly weakened, unable to dissolve the contract.
In despair, Ji Ning collapsed beside Ye Ling, watching her life force being continuously shared with Ye Ling.
Her consciousness grew increasingly hazy, her eyelids heavier.
"I never thought... that I would end up dying with this scoundrel... I'm truly unwilling..."
Ji Ning murmured. In her fading consciousness, she vaguely saw a group of young boys and girls in white flying towards her.
The next moment, she completely lost consciousness and plunged into chaos.
