Vivian suddenly entered Auguhagon's body. Before she could react, she saw a black sword piercing towards her.
"Auguhagon used the Boundary Demon Heart on me?"
A thought flashed through Vivian's mind. Before she could realize what Auguhagon was doing, she saw Bailan teleport in front of her body and grab the hilt of the black sword!
Auguhagon, who was preparing to meet his death, was stunned to see Bailan suddenly appear.
"Go!"
Bailan shouted. Auguhagon instantly reacted and immediately took Vivian's body away from the spot. Bailan, meanwhile, grabbed the hilt of the black sword with both hands and slashed fiercely into the darkness!
Boom!!!
The power contained within the black sword erupted, and sharp sword energy slashed into the darkness. The monsters hidden in the darkness turned to dust the moment they touched the black sword's energy!
At this moment, Vivian finally reacted. She immediately controlled Auguhagon's body and flew in front of Auguhagon, giving him a fierce slap!
Auguhagon, who was still smug about saving Vivian, was suddenly slapped by Vivian. He was stunned and looked at Vivian blankly, asking, "Why did you hit me?"
Vivian cursed, "You idiot! Who told you to swap bodies with me?"
Auguhagon looked confused and said, "The situation was urgent, I was just..."
Vivian: "Never mind that, give me my body back!"
Auguhagon was also angered by Vivian's rude attitude and said, "Fine, I'll give it back. My good intentions are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
With that, Auguhagon canceled the Boundary Demon Heart and returned to his own body.
He had wanted to argue with Vivian for a bit longer, but when he saw Vivian's swollen cheek, he couldn't help but feel a pang of concern, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Vivian, on the other hand, simply covered her burning cheek and, without saying more to Auguhagon, flew towards Bailan.
Auguhagon watched Vivian's retreating back, his eyes filled with confusion, and he muttered, "Strange..."
Vivian flew to Bailan's side and saw Bailan gripping the black sword tightly, her arms already turned pitch black. She couldn't help but worry, "Bailan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine..."
Bailan suppressed the black sword and glanced at Auguhagon, who was still in a daze nearby. She said to Vivian, "Auguhagon was just trying to save you with good intentions. You were a bit too much just now."
Vivian lowered her eyelids and replied, "I didn't ask him to save me. Sacrificing his life for me without my consent, was he trying to make me feel guilty for the rest of my life in his body?"
"You..." Bailan smiled at Vivian, not dwelling on the matter, and began to suppress the black sword in her hands with all her might.
It was strange, really. The black sword's power was clearly superior to Bailan's, yet after Bailan grasped the sword, she didn't feel much resistance.
Although it was extremely difficult for her to suppress the black sword now, she had managed to suppress it. This was definitely not the power the black sword had shown!
"This sword... seems unwilling to be my enemy. Could it be..."
Bailan looked at the black sword she held tightly, and a possibility suddenly occurred to her!
"Roar!!!"
Just then, a roar echoed from the darkness, and a vast swarm of parasitic worms surged towards them.
Beyond the sea of worms, large insect nests could be vaguely seen.
"The Dark Side Legion?"
Vivian's pupils contracted sharply as she saw the sea of worms approaching. "They're here too?"
Bailan looked at the sea of worms, her expression also turning solemn. She immediately said to Vivian, "You and Auguhagon go to Master's location to rest. I'll hold them off here!"
Vivian: "Can you do it alone?"
Bailan: "It's fine! This black sword swallowed the 'Brain', and its power is still above mine. I can barely control this sword. You and Auguhagon go back first! Master is at a critical stage of breakthrough, and Yinguo might not be able to protect Master alone!"
"This sword swallowed the 'Brain'?" Hearing Bailan's words, Vivian was also startled, but she didn't think much of it and immediately looked at Auguhagon!
Auguhagon had also recovered his senses and said seriously to Vivian, "Let's go! Let's retreat first. We trust Bailan!"
With that, Auguhagon turned into a beam of light and flew towards Ye Ling's direction.
Seeing this, Vivian said to Bailan, "Then we'll head back. Be careful, and prioritize your safety."
"Mm."
Bailan nodded. After watching Vivian and Auguhagon return, she looked at the overwhelming sea of worms ahead and gritted her teeth, "Let me see how capable you are, sword that swallowed the 'Brain'!"
With that, Bailan turned into a black light and charged into the sea of worms.
The sea of worms, filled with countless parasitic creatures, exploded the moment Bailan charged in, and countless parasitic worms instantly turned to ash!
...
Meanwhile, at the center of the battlefield.
Due to the sudden death of the "Brain," the watchers lost their leader. They stopped surrounding the Yinguo Mirror Domain and all hid in the darkness, disappearing.
Ye Ling remained seated in the Yinguo Mirror Domain, surrounded by black energy, his aura fluctuating unpredictably, making it impossible to ascertain his condition.
Yinguo, who was guarding Ye Ling, had nothing to do and could only silently worry about Bailan's situation.
"I wonder how things are over there. Although I used Absolute Divine Travel to teleport Bailan sister over, the power of that black sword is too terrifying. I hope..."
"Yinguo!"
As Yinguo was muttering to himself, Vivian's voice came. Yinguo heard it and looked, seeing Vivian and Auguhagon flying towards them, and he was overjoyed.
"Great, you're alright! I'll let you in now!"
Saying that, Yinguo opened the Yinguo Mirror Domain and let Auguhagon and Vivian in together.
"Bailan saved us. Her strength suddenly became so great."
Vivian smiled at Yinguo, then looked at Ye Ling, who was enveloped in black energy, and asked Yinguo, "What's wrong with Boss?"
Yinguo shook his head, "I don't know the specifics. Sister Chu Yun went to handle Master's matters, so I'm just guarding."
Auguhagon also asked, "Bailan said that the black sword swallowed the 'Brain', is that true?"
Yinguo nodded, "Mm... Sister Bailan saw it with her own eyes, but it seems the black sword has gained all the 'Brain's' power. That black sword is still hostile towards us, and the situation seems even more dire."
Auguhagon frowned, "But just now, Bailan easily suppressed the black sword, and the black sword didn't seem hostile towards Bailan either..."
Vivian looked at Auguhagon, "What do you mean? Are you suspecting Bailan?"
Auguhagon shook his head, "I don't suspect her... but, the 'Brain' made a deal with Bai Yue, and the black sword doesn't harm Bailan. It's hard not to associate the black sword with Bai Yue's relationship."
"In the beginning, it was the watchers and the Celestial Travelers fighting, and we were the third party... But now, the Celestial Travelers have vanished without a trace, yet we've fought the watchers for countless rounds, and the black sword has suddenly swallowed the 'Brain'. If all of this was a plan orchestrated by Bai Yue, then we..."
"Will we become Bai Yue's weapon?"
