The villain, caught in a chaotic situation, only wants to boost his popularity.

At the bottom of the crater that had just been blasted, the ground began to shake violently, as if some enormous creature was about to burst out of the earth.

A giant pupil totem with a diameter of 10 meters slowly emerged.

At the very center of the totem, a figure covered in black armor is slowly rising.

The patterns on the armor flowed with black energy like twisted blood vessels, exuding a suffocating aura of danger.

Covered in black armor, it exuded a dangerous aura.

The totem suddenly floated upwards, spinning rapidly around the black-armored figure.

Ultimately, it coalesced into a three-dimensional, giant pupil outline, firmly embedding the closed-eyed black-armored figure in the center, like a hellish eye about to open.

The next second, the giant pupil left a trail of afterimages, and then began to split, with five identical pupil totems appearing on the ground!

Five pairs of eyelids slowly lifted, and purple light shot straight into the sky like a sharp sword, dyeing the entire space an eerie purple.

Mu Jing was already standing at the top edge of the pit. The moment the purple light shot out, he closed his eyes and covered Xue Li's eyes with his other hand.

"This is [Abyss Gaze]!" Mu Jing murmured.

This is the ultimate demon born from the complete demonization of the exorcist paladin Gain.

Wherever his gaze falls, death is certain.

"But power without intelligence is precisely another form of weakness."

"Next move, [Afterimage Explosion]!" Mu Jing yawned.

As expected, the five pupils in the deep pit left afterimages and instantly flashed to the top of the camera lens, the dark light devouring like a venomous snake!

Mu Jing, holding Xue Li, dodged to the side and moved five meters away. The light grazed his clothes and exploded, blasting a charred hole in the ground.

"Next move, [Fear Illusion]!" Mu Jing's voice was mocking.

The five pupils suddenly disappeared, only to reappear in the same spot.

But Mu Jing knew that what he was seeing was just an illusion.

He gently rubbed Xue Li's middle finger, and Xue Li immediately understood what he meant.

Xue Li immediately began to chant:

"【Ice Lotus • Frostthorn】—!"

A pale blue halo unfolded above her head, and thousands of ice hairs scattered out like flowers from a celestial maiden.

The ice hairs exploded into fine ice mist upon impact with the air, as if striking an invisible barrier, forming the outlines of five white pupils.

"Thud th ...

The demon let out a shriek and its body erupted with a blinding red light, as if it had suffered an extremely serious injury.

Then, the five pupils shot rapidly at an angle to the top of the pit, quickly forming a circle and spinning wildly like a top.

Purple and red light intertwined, like a death vortex that meant certain death upon contact.

"Here it comes, the final move, [The Gaze of the End]!"

Instead of retreating, Mu Jing advanced, carrying Xue Li as he leaped into the deep pit.

As they plummeted, he gently rubbed Xue Li's fingers again, and Xue Li understood immediately:

"【Frozen Thousands of Miles】—!"

A massive ice blade, ten meters long, instantly materialized beneath her feet, radiating a chilling aura like an inverted iceberg.

It points directly to the center of the totem at the bottom of the deep pit!

That is the true location of the demon, which will only be briefly revealed when it unleashes its ultimate attack—the [Gaze of the End].

That's right, its true form is not in the air, or anywhere else.

Instead, they stayed in the same spot!

And this moment is its most vulnerable moment!

"Snap!"

The enormous ice blade crashed to the ground, making a sound like a glass shattering.

"【Deviation】!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed.

The mirror landed on the tip of the ice blade.

He hugged Xue Li tightly in a princess carry.

Then he leaped forward, and another flash of white light appeared.

The two landed steadily on the ground.

And behind him—

The ice blades, as large as mountains, crashed into the ground, not shattering, but slowly and heavily collapsing.

The ice blade emitted a white mist the instant it touched the pupil totem.

The mist contained fine ice shards.

Above it, five pupils suddenly exploded.

The light in the pupils contracted—

It didn't suddenly go out; it receded slowly like the tide, leaving behind ripples of dark light.

Until the last piece of ice hit the ground with a dull thud.

Mu Jing and Xue Li looked back at the past.

The iceberg behind us had turned into a pile of broken ice.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining on the broken ice and reflecting a dazzling light.

The sounds of the entire world returned to Mu Jing and Xue Li's ears once again.

Meanwhile, in the [Real-world Bullet Comment Section]:

"The prison mirror was sent after all! The prison mirror is the chosen one, the only one!"

"Lock mirror, oh lock mirror, a real man never looks back!"

"You just don't understand. A real man with a woman by his side, turning back to look at her—that's romance!"

"Lock Mirror beats this third-phase boss like it's nothing! I feel like I could do it too!"

At this moment, the Sixth Holy Spirit Bureau and the Director's Office.

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" Suijiu asked Xuehua with concern.

Xuehua trembled, her face covered with a gloomy black aura.

"I'm just worried about my aunt and Jingjun," she said through gritted teeth.

"Only one level left. With Mu Jing's abilities, the fifth level should be a piece of cake..."

Before the words were even finished, the aperture suddenly flickered.

At that moment, Sui Jiu couldn't help but gasp.

Xuehua also covered her mouth in surprise.

Qiong Ren couldn't help but ask, "Chief, are these the other six members of the Exorcist Knights you mentioned? How come they're so big?!"

Only in the aperture

A colossal creature hovers atop a castle.

From a distance, it resembles a huge black lotus flower.

It has six "lotus" petals, or rather, six "shells" and six "tentacles".

The edges of its whiskers gleamed with a dark halo, as if it were breathing, opening and closing from time to time.

However, upon closer inspection, one can vaguely discern a human body within any of the "lotus petals".

The six-petaled lotus flower encloses a body that has no physical form.

The light emanating from its body was a dark red, like a gemstone stained with ink.

"Lackno, Jielun, Fiori, Ashu, Timo, Mangsen... they're all here!!!" Suijiu said, his face pale. "If it really is them, even if Xue Li and I joined forces at our peak, we couldn't defeat them!"

In some void, a girl with blood-red hair, wearing a purple dress, floated in the air.

"Hehehehe, my dear contractor, I'm getting more and more curious about how you're going to break this situation!"

"Even if you and Xue Li join forces and do your best, you might not be able to break through this monster's defenses."

And in the next instant! Ye Yue's pupils shrank sharply, and she exclaimed in shock, "What!!! How could this happen!!!"

At the same moment, inside the Sixth Holy Spirit Bureau.

Qiong Ren exclaimed, "Chief, why did the aperture suddenly turn black?"

Staring intently at the dark halo, his voice trembled: "What on earth happened? It failed without any warning!"
