The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 577 Two against one, certain defeat

The Sun, Moon, and Star Chart in Gong Tinglan's hand was crafted by an unknown person, but it must have been a valuable item passed down from the Gong family ancestors. It could both attack evil and purify. The starlight emanating from the chart was pure and naturally restrained the resentment of death. Furthermore, he used his purest heart's blood to refine it, making the pure power even purer and stronger.

Even so, he would suffer a great loss of vitality and even a backlash of spiritual power as a result!
Having witnessed the power and terror of this corpse demon, Gong Tinglan, who had personally observed its growing strength during the pursuit, would no longer allow it to continue growing. Especially now that helpers had arrived, and it was two against one, if they still let it escape alive, then they could forget about dealing with Tantai Wuji and would have to hide and eke out a living as soon as possible!
It's just a great loss of vitality, but it won't kill you.

Gong Tinglan's ruthlessness greatly restricted the corpse demon, which was bound by the Star Chains and had become increasingly violent due to being struck by the Five Thunder Talisman. Although it could still struggle, its movement speed was greatly limited, causing its attacks to stall.

"Roar!" The Corpse Demon roared in shock and rage, its increasingly scarlet eyes fixed on Gong Tinglan. Death energy emanated from its body, as if releasing millions of wronged souls, which transformed into countless vengeful skulls with bared fangs and claws, biting at Gong Tinglan. Some even flew towards the sun, moon, and star chart.

Like moths drawn to a flame!

The power of purity can cleanse death energy, but this deathly energy is sinister and malevolent enough to defile magical artifacts, rendering them useless and turning against their master.

Lang Jiuchuan immediately saw through the corpse demon's intentions, and a sense of apprehension arose in his heart towards her spiritual awareness. She was too intelligent. At the same time, he cast a spell towards Gong Tinglan. It was chaotic energy, carrying the aura of supreme yang fire, which transformed into an invisible wall of fire in front of him. The skulls were like moths to a flame, scorched by the chaotic fire, sizzling and disintegrating in agony.

The deathly aura of the Corpse Demon stagnated and weakened once more. Its eyes showed shock, anger, and fear, and it began to retreat.

Two against one, it is at a disadvantage and will undoubtedly lose; it will surely perish here.

Got to escape!
Lang Jiuchuan noticed the retreat in its eyes and sneered, "Trying to escape? Don't even think about it!"

She and Gong Tinglan exchanged a glance, their understanding flowing naturally.

Lang Jiuchuan launched a fierce attack on the Corpse Demon in an instant. Her figure was as fast as lightning, and her hand seals kept changing. While the Star Chains were binding its corpse, she summoned the Chaos Fire and focused on its two scarlet eyes to devour the two balls of soul fire.

She discovered this when she killed the skeletal monster in the corpse pit. Their soul fires were all in her eyes, and their main souls were safe. Once these two soul fires were extinguished, it would be equivalent to destroying their souls.

As expected, this test completely shocked the Corpse Demon.

It went mad, relentlessly unleashing its deathly power. Corpse energy spread, and wherever it passed, vegetation withered and everything turned pitch black.

This scene further strengthened Lang Jiuchuan and Gong Tinglan's determination to completely annihilate it.

The corpse demon's aura has become so insidious that if it were to escape, Da Dan would be completely overrun, and even an antidote would be useless.

Gong Tinglan hurriedly chanted incantations, using her spiritual power to activate the star chart, scattering countless rays of light to continuously weaken the power of the corpse demon, purify the death aura, wear down its ferocity, and further purify the vengeful spirits it absorbed, preventing them from becoming its power.

The two worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending, occasionally launching sneak attacks. They managed to make the corpse demon roar in anger, its power was constantly weakened, and its movements became increasingly sluggish. Even the soul power condensed from resentment on its body began to become unstable, showing signs of dissipating.

The corpse demon was extremely agitated; it wanted to escape, to escape immediately.

It recklessly unleashed that immense power upon Lang Jiuchuan and Gong Tinglan.

Lang Jiuchuan's pupils contracted, his eyes blazing with fury!

Damn it!

"Freeze it, then let's unleash our full power!" Lang Jiuchuan roared. Although Gong Tinglan didn't know the source of Lang Jiuchuan's sudden coldness and anger, he understood. He infused a drop of his essence blood into the star chart, which erupted with unprecedentedly brilliant light. He shouted sharply, "Zhou Tian Xing Dou, Ding Qian Kun!"

Countless starlight transformed into tangible shackles, layer upon layer binding the corpse demon's massive body tightly in place, making it difficult for it to break free no matter how much it roared and struggled.

Lang Jiuchuan fused the essence of chaos with his divine soul, poured it into the talisman brush, and offered it towards the most concentrated area on the Corpse Demon's chest, where a black demon core was faintly visible. He roared, "Chaos returns to nothingness, divine might abounds, burn evil and destroy obstacles, I command!"

The jade-bone talisman pen shot into the pill with pinpoint accuracy, like an arrow.

Bang.

"No!"

The Corpse Demon let out a desperate and mournful wail. Chaotic fire entered its body and spread like wildfire, igniting the deathly resentment around it and its Soul Core, turning it into a giant fire spirit from the inside out.

The flames relentlessly burned and devoured all its evil power, including the demon core that allowed it to exist in the world.

Countless wronged souls, bound and absorbed, let out their final screams amidst the dazzling flames, then vanished as wisps of smoke, as if they had been freed, returned to the void, and disappeared into the world.

The corpse demon's enormous skeletal body twisted, contracted, and turned to ash violently in the flames before finally collapsing to the ground with a thud. Before it was completely annihilated, a burst of primal power suddenly erupted from its chest, striking towards Lang Jiuchuan and Gong Tinglan.

Lang Jiuchuan was prepared. He summoned the Emperor Bell, and his powerful will slammed into the bell, making it awe-inspiring and striking the primordial power head-on.

Boom.

A tremendous sound exploded in mid-air.

Lang Jiuchuan spat out a mouthful of black blood and collapsed to the ground.

Meanwhile, at Cangshan, the Imperial Preceptor also spat out a mouthful of blood essence. His soul was in sharp pain, as if a hole had been pierced by a divine artifact. His soul energy was leaking out, and he felt a throbbing pain in his dantian. He was shocked and furious, and his eyes revealed a trace of disbelief and doubt.

This backlash was only slightly less severe than when he imprisoned Langjiuchuan in the imperial mausoleum. However, this backlash didn't break his plan; rather, it was her attack from afar, striking his very source power, which caused him to suffer such a severe backlash.

How can it be!

When did she acquire such power? She was merely reborn in another body; even if she continuously accumulated merit and vows, it would be impossible for her to possess such immense power.

No, where exactly did her body undergo this reshaping, and what opportunity did she have? If he obtains it, what is there to worry about in achieving the Great Dao?
A hint of greed flashed in the Grand Preceptor's cold eyes, but he quickly calmed down. There was no need to rush. The stronger she was, the more advantageous it would be for him. He just needed to make good use of her.

He looked down and saw his withered hands and the pain in his chest. His life force was weakening, and his body was failing. He didn't have much time left and had to hurry.

"Let me see what kind of surprise you will bring me, and what kind of situation you will open up?" the Grand Preceptor murmured, a deep and unfathomable smile curving his lips.

　Some people are happy!
