I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 226 cleared! I am Xiaoye!!

It was like a blazing, blinding moon that suddenly appeared beneath Bai Yujing's feet, then leaped upwards. The moonlight, connecting with the heavens, pierced through the billowing black demonic energy.

As the bright moon rose higher, the palace, which had been hidden by the tree canopy, slowly regained its light.

Every ray of moonlight is an invincible sword aura; its illumination is its slaying power.

Wherever the moonlight shone, the sword light pierced through it, leaving it riddled with holes.

Fortunately, Chen Mo had a sword pellet that Bai Yujing had given him before. Thanks to the protection of the sword pellet, he was not riddled with holes by the moonlight.

Puff puff!

The Ascension Tree was not so lucky. Under the impact of the Ascension Moon Sword Qi, countless branches and tentacles were shattered, and large holes were punched into its canopy.

Not long after——

Boom!

More than a quarter of the tree canopy was knocked down by the sword light of the rising moon, crashing down from mid-air and smashing onto the palace, causing a large number of buildings to collapse and sending up clouds of dust.

"This Bai Yujing's swordsmanship is indeed remarkable. Is it really possible for him to go toe-to-toe with Empress Xiao?"

Chen Mo wanted to help, but the numerical values ​​of the attacks from both sides were too high.

It's really not something I can get involved in right now.

Chen Mo immediately retreated to a rooftop ten miles away, watching the two sides fighting from afar.

Due to the great distance, Chen Mo's eyesight was insufficient to clearly discern the specifics of the battle atop the treetops. He could only vaguely make out Bai Yujing standing within a rising moon formed of sword energy, fiercely battling against Empress Xiao's immortal demonic statue.

Each attack caused a huge commotion, with falling sword light and the Ascension Tree constantly crashing down from mid-air, smashing onto the ground and collapsing palaces one after another.

Chen Mo still needs to hide everywhere...

As time ticked by, the situation became clearer.

While the Rising Moon Sword Technique was undoubtedly a peerless swordsmanship unparalleled in the world, and it severely injured Empress Dowager Xiao, it still could not threaten her life.

Each time Empress Xiao's body was pierced with several bloody holes, it would immediately recover.

Even if you're beaten into a pulp, you can recover.

The Undying Demon Body is truly something else.

If the Corpse Ancestor were truly immortal, he would have died countless times over from such a devastating sword strike.

Moreover, there was the powerful blessing that the Ascension Tree bestowed upon Empress Xiao.

This was Empress Xiao's home turf, so Bai Yujing was at a disadvantage from the start.

"It seems Bai Yujing is going to lose, but she still has a chance to leave if she wants to. If she fights to the bitter end, she'll just be throwing her life away." Just as Chen Mo was pondering this, Bai Yujing's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Are you out of your mind? Why aren't you leaving? Go through the west gate and wait for me at the Shili Pavilion outside the palace."

Chen Mo: "..."

Left with no other choice, Chen Mo decided to leave.

The main problem is that Bai Yujing is too strong-willed.

He was indeed entrusted by Xiaoye to come and rescue him. If he didn't leave... he was afraid that Bai Yujing would really self-destruct here with Empress Xiao.

……

The battle raged from nightfall until dawn.

The east began to lighten with the first light of dawn.

Bai Yujing seized an opportunity and escaped through the west gate of the palace, bleeding profusely.

Bai Yujing's injuries were now severe; her white dress was stained crimson with blood. She continued to cough up blood as she fled, her face completely devoid of color.

His gait was unsteady and shaky, as if he were about to collapse at any moment.

Empress Dowager Xiao was still pursuing them from behind.

Bai Yujing felt he had to send it.

Just then, Empress Dowager Xiao, who was chasing after them, suddenly heard a sound and stopped, no longer pursuing them.

Ok?
Bai Yujing suddenly paused, slowed her pace, and turned around to look.

Suddenly, Chen Mo appeared in front of Empress Xiao and stopped her.

Bai Yujing's blood pressure immediately spiked, and he cursed Chen Mo's ancestors in his mind.

He risked his life in a bloody battle with Empress Dowager Xiao simply to fulfill a promise. And yet, despite all that time, Chen Mo didn't run away?

He even stood up to stop Empress Dowager Xiao at the last moment.

Did a donkey kick your brain?
Bai Yujing was angry.

Just as I was deciding whether to turn back...

She saw Empress Dowager Xiao walk step by step to Chen Mo, say a few words, and then Chen Mo self-destructed.

Boom!

Like a cannonball, it exploded instantly, forming a terrifying mushroom cloud that shot into the sky, engulfing even Empress Dowager Xiao…

Bai Yujing: "..."

After a moment of stunned silence, Bai Yujing didn't linger. Instead, she gritted her teeth, transformed into a white streak of light, and rushed towards the Ten Mile Pavilion. She cursed Chen Mo in her heart.

"That wretched fellow! In the end, he completely betrayed Xiaoye's hard work and made all my efforts go to waste..."

……

The area is several dozen miles outside the palace.

Ten Mile Pavilion.

This is a secluded street, surrounded by deserted houses, almost deserted. Near the riverbank, there is a very dilapidated pavilion.

It was Shili Pavilion.

It will be dawn.

A horse-drawn carriage was parked outside the pavilion.

The horses were not of the usual breed; in fact, they were quite large. The carriage bore the insignia of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

When Bai Yujing arrived, he was covered in blood and was vomiting blood continuously.

She stumbled to the horse, reached out and touched the mane on its face, and said weakly, "Alas, I have disappointed Xiao Ye in the end. It's not that I failed to keep my promise, it's that Chen Mo has something wrong with his brain."

"Empress Xiao is about to complete her ascension to immortality, and even I am no match for her. Since she has made her move, we cannot remain in Daqian. I need to leave the capital tonight."

After saying that, Bai Yujing struggled to jump onto the carriage platform, lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage, casually saying to the horse, "Leave the city, go to Beiliang."

As soon as she entered the carriage, Bai Yujing lay weakly inside, panting heavily, her eyes somewhat glazed over.

Her injuries were too severe.

It's a miracle that we've managed to hold on until now.

Just as Bai Yujing was about to close his eyes, he was shocked to see someone sitting in the carriage. Instinctively, he was about to draw his sword and slash at the man. But then he realized that the person in front of him... was none other than Chen Mo.

hiss.

Even a peerless figure like Bai Yujing couldn't help but gasp upon seeing this person, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You're injured. I brought some precious healing medicine, which will treat you." Chen Mo carried a large bag, opened it, and took out various kinds of precious healing medicine.

Bai Yujing didn't let Chen Mo approach. Instead, she pointed her ancient sword at Chen Mo and asked, "Who... exactly are you?"

Chen Mo was taken aback. "Ahem, I am Chen Mo. The one who exposed himself to Empress Dowager Xiao in the palace just now was my avatar. What you see now is my true form."

Bai Yujing forced herself to stay focused and stared at Chen Mo for a long time. She indeed found that this person was Chen Mo inside and out; there was no faking it. She knew that there were some ways to create avatars in this world, but to be so realistic... was still rare.

Perhaps believing Chen Mo, or perhaps because her injuries were too severe, Bai Yujing couldn't hold on any longer. The ancient sword in her hand crashed to the ground, and she collapsed, spitting out a mouthful of blood before completely losing consciousness.

"Hey, why did you have to do that? My avatar had to die at Empress Dowager Xiao's hands. Only in this way could I deceive her and escape this calamity." Chen Mo also felt a bit confused. "However, your appearance wasn't entirely without value. At least it gave me a rough idea of ​​Empress Dowager Xiao's true strength. It's just... you can't compare to me. I'm not afraid of death."

After making a remark, Chen Mo began to examine Bai Yujing's injuries.

On the surface, Bai Yujing's injuries didn't seem serious, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that... this woman's injuries were far too severe.

Countless conspicuous cuts were made on his skin, all of which were tainted by demonic energy, causing them to turn black. Only Bai Yujing's cultivation was high enough; any other martial arts master would probably be dead by now.

stab.

Chen Mo immediately tore open Bai Yujing's clothes, and was even more shocked when he saw the wounds all over her body.

With such severe injuries, I really don't know how this woman managed to endure it.

She was a strong-willed woman.

Moreover, moreover.

The horses galloped forward on their own, leading the carriage out of the capital city in no time.

Since it was a carriage from the Demon Suppression Division, the soldiers guarding the city dared not stop it. In addition, Empress Dowager Xiao genuinely believed that Chen Mo was dead, so she did not set up any checkpoints or anything like that.

The carriage left the capital smoothly and headed north towards Beiliang.

Actually, very little time had passed; the main problem was the horse's incredible speed. It seemed to be a backup plan Bai Yujing had prepared for her.

Once outside the capital, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Going to Beiliang is not a bad option.

Chen Mo originally planned to hide in Yujing Mountain for a while after his avatar died, to develop his strength. However, Bai Yujing intervened, making it impossible for him to stay in Yujing Mountain. He had no choice but to go to Beiliang to develop his strength.

As for his family, Chen Mo wasn't worried.

As long as the family members don't leave the Jiang family residence, Empress Dowager Xiao probably won't dare to act recklessly.

After all, the younger brother of the Northern Liang Empress was in the Jiang family.

Even if Empress Dowager Xiao were mad, she wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Xiao Bei. Otherwise, the sky would truly fall.

Moreover, since Empress Dowager Xiao believed she was dead, she probably had no urgent reason to take action against the Jiang family.

This may not be the best solution, but for Chen Mo at this moment, it is the best solution he can come up with.

Chen Mo gathered his thoughts and considered how to heal Bai Yujing's injuries.

Ordinary healing medicines had no effect on her injuries whatsoever.

"The most urgent task is to find a way to expel the demonic energy from her body. With her cultivation level, once the demonic energy is expelled, those wounds should be able to heal."

How to expel the demonic energy from her body is a difficult problem.

But Chen Mo came up with a rough idea: "Empress Xiao's cultivation and demonic energy both come from the Twin Demons, and I also have a demonic fetus inside me. Others can't withstand the demonic energy of the Twin Demons, but it's not necessarily the case for me."

"However, I need to pay a certain price, and there are risks involved."

Chen Mo stared blankly at Bai Yujing lying in the carriage.

At this moment, Chen Mo had removed most of Bai Yujing's clothes. She was only wearing a pink silk bodice and a very short skirt, revealing a large expanse of fair skin and her shapely figure.

"Bai Yujing must be Xiaoye's twin sister. She has already shown me great kindness by risking her life to save me. Moreover, I am now dead in the Great Qian Dynasty, and I am afraid that I will be all alone in the future. Before I can ascend to immortality, it is absolutely impossible for me to return to the Great Qian Dynasty. Bai Yujing is the only friend who can accompany me. For both personal and professional reasons, I cannot sit idly by."

With that thought in mind, Chen Mo no longer hesitated.

Open the panel.

"Create another avatar."

With the original essence beads that Chen Mo has accumulated, creating an avatar... is not a difficult task.

After creating the avatar, the avatar transformed into a mudfish-shaped rune that appeared on his arm.

Then, Chen Mo removed Bai Yujing's bodice and skirt, allowing his second brother to absorb the demonic energy from Bai Yujing's wounds.

Although the demonic energy on Bai Yujing's wounds was absorbed, a large amount of demonic energy remained in her body. Chen Mo then had his second brother kiss Bai Yujing's lips to draw out all the demonic energy from her body.

After doing all this, the second brother died.

He died on the spot.

This shows just how terrifying Empress Xiao's demonic power was.

The deaths of two avatars in a short period of time brought a strong backlash to Chen Mo. He was completely listless, had a splitting headache, felt dizzy, and an irresistible fatigue swept over his body.

Chen Mo quickly dressed Bai Yujing, then couldn't resist and fell asleep beside her.

Before falling asleep, Chen Mo created another avatar to secretly protect himself from bandits.

Fortunately, the carriage was big enough that it wasn't too crowded for two people to lie down.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mo slowly woke up.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck. He opened his eyes abruptly and was shocked to see an ancient sword pressed against his throat.

Chen Mo immediately sobered up a bit and suddenly widened his eyes. He was shocked to see that Bai Yujing had sat up at some point, still disheveled, with her bodice not very tight, and she seemed to be pointing her sword at him.

Chen Mo: "What do you mean? You're discarding me after I've served my purpose?"

Bai Yujing's expression was very abnormal, seemingly angry yet also somewhat shy. "What did you do to me?"

Faced with Bai Yujing's intense pressure, Chen Mo spread his hands, trying to appear harmless. "I used an avatar to absorb the demonic energy from your body. Otherwise, you would have died long ago. You're still pointing a sword at me... isn't that inappropriate?"

If it were Sayo, it definitely wouldn't be like this.

Seeing that Bai Yujing still showed no sign of stopping, Chen Mo added, "My clone died after absorbing the demonic energy from your body. If Xiao Ye knew you did this to me, she would definitely be heartbroken."

Perhaps it was the name Xiaoye that touched the softest spot in Bai Yujing's heart, for the ancient sword in her hand finally slipped to the ground. Her injuries were still severe; as soon as she put down the sword, she spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

Chen Mo couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and hugged the woman, checking Bai Yujing's pulse: "This shouldn't be. All the demonic energy in your body has been drained. How can you still be so weak..."

This was the first time Bai Yujing had been held in a man's arms like this, and she felt very uncomfortable. Her body was still a little stiff, and she tried to push Chen Mo away. But she found him limp and weak, and after a few attempts, she stopped trying.

Chen Mo repeatedly tried to overpower Bai Yujing, but found it was all ineffective.

This made Chen Mo very nervous: "Where else are you injured?"

Seeing Chen Mo's anxious expression, Bai Yujing finally spoke: "To resist Empress Xiao, I destroyed my sword heart. Now I have no cultivation and am just an ordinary person. Even if you help me remove the demonic energy, I won't live much longer..."

What?
Destroy your own sword spirit.

Has he lost all his spiritual cultivation?

He won't live much longer!

Chen Mo felt a pang of sadness. "You're Xiao Ye's twin sister, right? If that's the case, you should know where Xiao Ye went. I'll take you to find Xiao Ye and reunite you. This is probably the only thing I can do for you."

Bai Yujing didn't speak, but simply turned her head to the side.

Chen Mo didn't mince words, turning her head to face him: "I'm asking you a question. Where did Xiao Ye go? I'll take you to see her. I imagine Xiao Ye misses you a lot."

Bai Yujing was drowsy and forced to look Chen Mo in the eye.

She was very close and could hear Chen Mo breathing. Suddenly, she felt that this guy was actually quite nice.

Chen Mo raised his voice: "Say something! Don't you want to see your sister one last time before she's gone?"

Bai Yujing kept her mouth shut and didn't speak.

Chen Mo still wouldn't let go, and pried her mouth open, "Speak."

Bai Yujing was speechless at this guy's antics: "Stop asking, I am Xiao Ye."
