"This is indeed a place of auspicious feng shui, and a fine resting place for the dead, but it's not for me, it's for you!" Li Hehuan said sinisterly.
At this moment, his eyes were covered by a red glow, clearly in a state of madness.
Moreover, a faint black aura was swirling around him, and even within the red glow of his eyes, there were some black spots.
Zi Lingling frowned.
She was all too familiar with this black aura and these black spots.
Back in the Nine Absolute Peaks of the Severed Soul Cliff, wasn't Mo Qingcheng just like this?
That's right!
Li Hehuan had descended into demonic cultivation!
"Demonic cultivation?"
Zi Lingling chuckled, "Li Hehuan, it seems your fate is truly sealed. If you hadn't descended into demonic cultivation, I would have had to expend some effort to kill you. But as you are now, you pose no trouble to me whatsoever."
"Such arrogance!"
Li Hehuan cast a sinister glance at Zi Lingling and did not attack.
He was stalling for time. As long as he could stall until the three old ancestors awakened, Zi Lingling would surely die.
Zi Lingling smiled, "Whether it's arrogance or not, you'll find out when you try! I know you're stalling for time, waiting for them to wake up. But I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, so I'll make the first move!"
She said, quickly forming seals with her hands.
"Demon Suppressing Seal!"
"Demon Sealing Art!"
This time, she used the pure Demon Suppressing Seal and Demon Sealing Art, not the Chaos Seal.
Against demons, especially newly demonic cultivators like Li Hehuan, the power of the Demon Suppressing Seal and Demon Sealing Art was more than enough!
Just as Li Hehuan was about to dodge, he found himself locked by a force.
More accurately, the demonic energy within him was locked.
"Suppress!"
The power of spoken words – "Speak and it shall be done!"
The Demon Suppressing Seal, infused with the Demon Sealing Art, instantly landed on Li Hehuan's head, immobilizing him.
"Seal!"
With Zi Lingling's soft exclamation, Li Hehuan was shocked to find that both his demonic energy and spiritual power were sealed by a force.
"Send you on your way!"
Zi Lingling's crisp voice rang out, and a scalpel appeared in her hand.
As the scalpel was about to swiftly slice across Li Hehuan's neck, Zi Lingling felt a fatal attack from behind.
If her scalpel severed Li Hehuan's neck, that fatal attack would pierce her heart.
The final outcome would be mutual destruction for her and Li Hehuan.
But this was not what Zi Lingling intended.
So, she subconsciously shifted a step to the left, spinning her body in a bizarre posture behind Li Hehuan.
Of course, the trajectory of the scalpel shifted from Li Hehuan's neck to his nape.
Although there was a deviation, the result remained the same.
Li Hehuan's head was severed, but instead of being cut from back to front, it was cut from front to back.
Simultaneously, a long sword pierced Li Hehuan's right chest, narrowly stopping against Zi Lingling's chest and tearing her clothes.
Li Hehuan, a generation's sect leader, ultimately perished, though unwillingly.
And Zi Lingling found herself in grave peril.
In her pupils, she saw a withered, ghost-like figure.
This person held a long sword, its blade still lodged in Li Hehuan's body.
Zi Lingling's pupils constricted, for this person's vital energy had withered to an extreme, yet his cultivation was undeniably at the peak of the Great God Realm.
Even more dire was that behind him stood two other individuals of the same cultivation level.
The three stood in a triangular formation, all glaring menacingly at Zi Lingling.
"Who are you? Why are you in our Hehuan Sect's forbidden area?"
The person in front moved his throat, emitting a sound.
But the voice was like a broken bellows, extremely grating.
"She doesn't carry the aura of our Hehuan Sect's cultivation techniques."
"Her body reeks of a potent bloodiness mixed with the aura of Hehuan Sect's techniques!"
The two behind spoke in unison.
The foremost person looked at the unclosed eyes of the deceased Li Hehuan, seeming to understand something, and roared, "You killed our Hehuan Sect's people?"
His roar was a true, ghastly wail.
Zi Lingling shook her head and calmly replied, "No! Not killed, but wiped out!"
Despite her composed demeanor, her heart was in turmoil.
She had not anticipated that three ancient powerhouses at the peak of the Great God Realm were hidden within the Hehuan Sect's forbidden area.
Moreover, although she had dodged the previous sword strike, it was because these three had just awakened and their bodies were stiff from prolonged inactivity.
Otherwise, even if she could have dodged that sword, she would have paid a heavy price in injuries.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"Excellent!"
The three spoke in turn, and a trace of fury appeared in their sunken eye sockets.
They had all been sect leaders of the Hehuan Sect, and now hearing that the sect had been annihilated, it was only natural they would be enraged!
Zi Lingling said coldly, "Only by killing the three of you will it be truly good!"
She was not speaking incorrectly; only by eliminating these three would the Hehuan Sect be truly eradicated.
"Die!"
The three roared in unison, and Li Hehuan's corpse, which stood before Zi Lingling, was immediately split in two.
Ruthless!
A hint of solemnity appeared in Zi Lingling's eyes.
Li Hehuan's body had been split in two because the person holding the sword in front had subtly exerted force with his wrist, splitting Li Hehuan diagonally.
His fierce demeanor was identical to Li Hehuan's when he abandoned everyone in the Hehuan Sect.
It seemed that the past sect leaders of the Hehuan Sect were all ruthless individuals!
But this was not the most important matter.
The most crucial point was that Zi Lingling, facing three peak Great God Realm experts alone, had no chance of victory.
Of course, she could eliminate one using the Law of Judgment, but what about the other two?
It seemed she had no choice but to separate them.
And her greatest reliance for separating them was formation arrays.
However, the limited space in this cave made it impossible to deploy them.
Therefore, she had to find a way to lure the three outside the cave.
While Zi Lingling was contemplating these matters, the sword in the hand of the foremost person attacked again.
The tip of the sword pointed directly at Zi Lingling's heart.
Dodge!
Zi Lingling dared not be careless, and she utilized her Phantom Dragon Steps to its utmost.
The other two seemed to have anticipated Zi Lingling's escape, and as soon as she moved, they also moved. However, they had underestimated the subtlety of the Phantom Dragon Steps.
Thus, Zi Lingling narrowly evaded all three of them and stood in the direction of the cave entrance.
"Three old fossils, come out and fight!"
As her voice fell, she was already dashing towards the cave exit.
