The Linlang patriarch stared at her, his heart filled with both shock and fury. That peculiar light pink power was inherently something that suppressed demons, making him hesitant to strike. Yet, her cultivation was insufficient, but her strength was terrifyingly potent! Every move was a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble, a strategy that inflicted a thousand blows on the enemy while suffering eight hundred in return...
Coupled with his existing injuries, it was not wise to continue this fight!
With the thought of retreating, he decisively focused on the others around him. His eyes darkened as he conceived of a plan...
Jin Bao'er had been watching his gaze intently and naturally did not miss that sliver of strange intent!
However, in the next second...
The Linlang patriarch turned sharply, reaching out to grab a figure from the ground and hurling it fiercely towards Jin Bao'er!
But could it be that simple?
Clearly, it was impossible!
Just as Jin Bao'er was about to kick the figure away, intending to attack with her flesh, her pupils suddenly constricted. She hurriedly raised her hand and unleashed her domain...
Within a certain spatial domain, inaudible to others!
"Boom!!"
The sound of an explosion arrived thunderously, deafening and earth-shattering! She felt a sharp pain in her head, her vision darkened, and her ears buzzed painfully...
The self-detonation of a Heavenly Dao Emperor!
She was stunned! How could this old wretch be so heartlessly astonishing? He wouldn't spare even his own people?
Meanwhile, the others present had no idea what had just happened. They only saw one of their own suddenly seized by the patriarch, thrown towards Jin Bao'er. However, just as they were about to make contact, Jin Bao'er waved her hand, and the person suddenly vanished...
Although they lamented their patriarch's actions, they were even more terrified by the method Jin Bao'er had employed!
Domain fluctuations were imperceptible to the weak, but clearly visible to the strong!
The Linlang patriarch did not miss the moment Jin Bao'er's face suddenly paled. He rejoiced fiercely! Clearly, her domain had suffered a severe blow, impacting herself!
Then, he decisively repeated his tactic...
When the second person was captured, they were filled with despair! They wanted to beg for mercy, but not a single word could be uttered before they were violently thrown. Simultaneously, the power within them erupted uncontrollably, tearing through every single one of their meridians...
Jin Bao'er was no fool; to be blown up a second time? She let out a mocking laugh and decisively dodged! At the same time, she erected a barrier to protect herself.
Following that!
"Boom!!"
"Rumble..."
Another self-detonation of a Heavenly Dao Emperor instantly triggered an explosion throughout the entire underground palace. Even though the stone walls had undergone special modifications and the ceiling was reinforced with soul stones, they still could not withstand the immense power of the self-detonation!
"Bang bang bang!"
The ceiling of the underground palace was the first to succumb to the energy. Massive stone blocks were immediately split and rained down, smashing downwards.
The first to suffer were the clan disciples who could not control their physical strength. They sported withered bodies, yet they could not manage the power within them at all. With a single loss of control, they crashed into those beside them, one after another, causing a large group to fall.
Seven or eight died on the spot.
The Linlang patriarch, having sensed Jin Bao'er's evasion, had already retreated and pressed himself against the wall, immediately avoiding the area where the debris was falling!
At the same time, the black beads embedded in the ceiling began to shake and detach from their original positions...
Seeing this, the Linlang patriarch's expression tightened. He rushed forward and reached out to catch it, his tense demeanor purely instinctive.
Jin Bao'er, safe and sound within her barrier, naturally did not miss this scene. In response, she also made her move.
Two figures flashed forward again, moving like lightning! In the blink of an eye, both reached out their hands simultaneously...
Just as their hands were about to touch, Jin Bao'er's fingers spun sharply, changing direction abruptly...
"Boom!!"
A violent light of pale pink erupted from her fingertips, and the power of the Great Dao surged once more, striking directly towards his eyes!
"Ah!! Ahhh!!"
A scream suddenly rang out, and the underground cave completely collapsed at that instant, revealing fresh air and warm sunlight outside...
However, the Linlang patriarch could no longer see any of this!
After her fingers penetrated his eyeballs, Jin Bao'er decisively hooked and then yanked them out forcefully! Blood dripped from her fingertips, yet her finger pads remained unstained...
It turned out that what had penetrated his eyeballs was the power of the Great Dao she had condensed, not her actual fingers!
"Pat..."
The scarlet eyeballs fell to the ground with a soft sound, soon buried beneath the stones and soil...
The Linlang patriarch had seized the black bead but lost his eyes! Blood rolled down his empty sockets, leaving two crimson streaks. This only amplified his ashen complexion, making it appear even more deathly pale...org
Jin Bao'er retreated slightly, her thin lips pressed together, her brow furrowed! A flicker of deep thought crossed her eyes...
The black bead was indeed more than just a mere soul stone. There must be something wrong with the scarlet eyes within it!
Even without his sight, the Linlang patriarch still clutched the black bead tightly. His empty eye sockets "looked" in Jin Bao'er's direction, his face filled with rage and violence! He gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear her apart on the spot.
"Jin Bao'er!"
He had lived for tens of thousands of years, and this was the first time a woman had pushed him to such a state! Indeed, he should have found a way to kill her ten thousand years ago.
Jin Bao'er looked at his clenched fist, this old wretch still so stubbornly protecting that thing... But what kind of thing would make a demon risk his very eyes?
Recalling that malevolent resentment and demonic energy, she gradually formed an improbable guess in her heart... her expression grew increasingly solemn.
"Old wretch, what is inside that black bead?"
She suddenly spoke, her gaze fixed intently on his reaction.
However, there was no anomaly! Not a single muscle in his face shifted!
The Linlang patriarch endured the immense pain and hatred, roaring with suppressed rage.
"Stop changing the subject! Jin Bao'er, do you think you can walk out of here alive today!"
With that, he waved his hand, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy that spread like a black mist, engulfing everything. Unable to pinpoint Jin Bao'er's exact location, he could only rely on his spiritual sense to sense her, but his attack struck everyone indiscriminately!
Survivors still struggling to extricate themselves from the piles of debris rolled their eyes and met their end immediately!
The situation here also quickly attracted the attention of many sect disciples. The members of noble families who had just been confined also soon detected the intense power fluctuations. That immense demonic energy pierced directly into people's hearts, sending shivers down their spines!
Jin Bao'er waved her hand, dispelling the demonic energy, her Great Dao power shielding her securely. She continued to stare at him, suddenly voicing her guess.
"Could it be the Demon God?"
As soon as the words fell, she clearly felt a momentary stiffening in the demonic energy. Her heart jolted! She couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief...
"You're using a soul-snatching technique to extract soul power to nourish the Demon God? You want to resurrect the Demon God!!"
A short exclamation suddenly rang out... echoing for a long time!
Due to the destruction of the underground palace, most of the surrounding structures were also affected. The entire area appeared somewhat desolate, covered in rubble! Thus, this voice reached everyone's ears...
