Slaying demons and eliminating evil, a martial saint among mortals.

The fight between Xu Qinghe and Wugu Luo continues.

The situation is just getting worse.

Xu Qinghe is indeed much stronger than before, but she is still facing Wugu Luo, who has taken over Pei Jinghan's body.

Moreover, judging from the situation, Xu Qinghe in her red-eyed state had no way to fully control this body.

boom!

Another loud bang.

Xu Qinghe's figure flew backward from mid-air, smashing a long crack in the ground.

She braced herself against the ground, trying to stand up, but as soon as she exerted force, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The red aura emanating from his body also flickered, clearly becoming somewhat unstable.

Uguro walked over step by step.

He occupied Pei Jinghan's body, but his face wore a cold smile that did not belong to Pei Jinghan at all.

"What? You can't hold on anymore?"

Xu Qinghe raised her head, her red eyes filled with coldness.

Qin Lie's heart sank when he saw this scene.

However, he gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, holding the snowflakes in front of Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe looked at Qin Lie, who was blocking her way, and her expression changed slightly.

"None of your business."

Her voice was cold and hard, but it clearly carried a hint of weakness.

"I didn't listen to you just now and opened the palace door."

"This is my own fault. You can leave if you want."

Qin Lie did not turn around, but stared intently at Wugu Luo.

Should we leave now?

Where to go?

Even if he wanted to leave, Uguro wouldn't let him.

Upon hearing Xu Qinghe's words, Wugu Luo let out a cold laugh.

"You've already lost, and you still want him to leave? Who can protect him?"

Xu Qinghe glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

Even though she was injured, her pride did not diminish.

"If I want him to leave, he can leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, an even more powerful pressure suddenly erupted from her body.

The red aura suddenly spread outwards.

In an instant, even the surrounding rubble was pulled into the air and suspended in the air.

Qin Lie's expression changed.

This aura wasn't the normal build-up before a move; it was the ignition of all the power within the body in an instant.

He immediately thought of Li Tiezhu.

A century ago, before Li Tiezhu self-destructed, he also experienced similar fluctuations.

Qin Lie immediately realized that Xu Qinghe was trying to take Wu Gu Luo down with her by self-destructing, thus creating an opportunity for him to escape.

Qin Lie suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Qinghe's wrist.

"Don't do that."

Xu Qinghe turned her head to look at him.

Her long red hair swayed gently behind her, but her eyes remained unusually calm.

"I take full responsibility for my actions, and I don't want to owe anyone anything."

Qin Lie ignored her words.

Of course, he didn't try to persuade Xu Qinghe, because this woman was capable of anything when she went crazy.

Qin Lie simply stared at Wugu Luo ahead and said in a low voice:

"I'll distract him for a moment, you just have to play it by ear."

Upon hearing this, Wugu Luo scoffed.

"What can you, an ant, possibly do?"

He looked at Qin Lie with disdain in his eyes.

"The reason I haven't killed you yet is..."

"I just want to play with you guys a little longer."

At this point, the smile on Wugu Luo's face slowly faded.

"Alright, I have other things to do now."

"You can all just die!"

The words fell.

Wugu Luo's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Qin Lie.

Although he didn't believe Qin Lie could pose any threat to him.

But what happened a hundred years ago had already taught him a lesson.

This kid isn't very skilled, yet he managed to ruin his grand plan.

Therefore, this time, he does not intend to give Qin Lie any more chances.

Once is enough to cause a mishap.

Wugu Luo raised his hand and grabbed directly at Qin Lie.

Xu Qinghe's eyes turned cold as she forcefully stood in front of Qin Lie.

A burst of red energy exploded, forcefully blocking the attack for Qin Lie.

But she was already injured, and after blocking this attack, she was sent flying backward.

Qin Lie was also pushed aside by her, and his body staggered back a few steps.

After regaining his footing, Qin Lie stared intently at Wugu Luo.

Then, with all his might, he shouted at the body that belonged to Pei Jinghan, "Pei Jinghan!"

"You've been sleeping for a hundred years, are you planning to keep sleeping?!"

This was the solution Qin Lie had come up with.

He wanted to awaken the part of this body that belonged to Pei Jinghan.

He clearly heard Pei Jinghan's voice just now at the entrance of the main hall.

The voice told him not to go over, not to get any closer.

In other words, this body contains definitely not just the soul of Uguro.

However, Pei Jinghan's soul is currently suppressed by Wugu Luo.

If we can wake Pei Jinghan at this moment, let him fight against Wugu Luo from inside, and then let Xu Qinghe take action from the outside.

With the help of both inside and outside forces, they might not only be able to restore Pei Jinghan to a sliver of his senses, but also seize the opportunity to capture Wugu Luo's soul.

After all, Xu Qinghe's specialty is soul binding.

Wugu Luo was visibly stunned after hearing Qin Lie's roar.

But soon, he burst into unrestrained laughter.

Laughter echoed in front of the main hall, carrying an indescribable sarcasm.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"I thought you had some way of distracting me."

"So that's how it works?"

He looked down at Qin Lie as if he were looking at a ridiculous madman.

"Boy, let me tell you."

"Impossible."

"Pei Jinghan's soul has long been merged with mine."

"This body now belongs to me alone. Abandon your unrealistic ideas."

Qin Lie did not abandon his own ideas because of Wugu Luo's words.

"Pei Jinghan, I know you can hear me."

Are you giving up now?

"Think about those three thousand brothers in the Broken Wind Camp."

"Each of them sacrificed their flesh and blood and their soul."

"Only then was the Broken Wind Formation completed, guarding the Broken Wind Pass and preventing the demon race from setting foot inside."

At this point, Qin Lie seemed to recall that scene from a hundred years ago.

One after another, the soldiers of the Broken Wind Camp self-destructed.

Flesh and blood scattered.

The life force and spirit of countless people all flowed into those nine nails.

And there's Li Tiezhu.

The old soldier who had lost an arm but still had a knife tied to his hand.

Clinging tightly to the Shadow Claw Demon, she didn't forget to remind Qin Lie even in her dying moments.

He insisted that Qin Lie go to Lijia Town to drink the wine he owed him.

Qin Lie will never forget that scene, because he was a witness to it!

"It's all because of you now."

"Everything they risked their lives for will be lost."

Pei Jinghan.

Are you willing to accept this?!

Wugu Luo did not stop Qin Lie.

He even stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking like he was watching a show.

The sneer on his face grew stronger.

"explain."

"Go on."

"I originally intended to crush you, you ant, right here."

"But now, I'd rather see you despair little by little."

Upon hearing these words, Qin Lie's heart sank deeper and deeper.

Even after all this explanation, Pei Jinghan still hasn't woken up?

Is this method really useless?

Could it be that Pei Jinghan's soul has truly been completely fused with Wugu Luo?

This is Qin Lie's desperate tactic.

If even this can't wake Pei Jinghan, then he really has no other way.

But even in despair, one cannot sit and wait to die.

Qin Lie looked down at the broken snow in his hand.

The blade was cold, yet its gleam remained sharp.

He reached out and gently stroked the blade, as if he were talking to it.

"A hundred years ago, General Pei used you to fight against the demon race."

"A hundred years from now, I will use you again to fight against the demon race."

"It doesn't disgrace your glory."

Even though his vital energy was exhausted, his injuries were getting worse and worse.

At this moment, he still gripped the snowflakes tightly in his hand.

The next instant, Qin Lie rushed towards Wu Gu Luo.

As he rushed forward, he yelled hoarsely, "Pei Jinghan! You fucking watch me!"

"There are no deserters in the Broken Wind Battalion!"

Wugu Luo looked at Qin Lie charging towards him and let out a sinister laugh.

"An ant is just an ant."

"This farce should come to an end."

As he spoke, Wugu Luo raised his hand.

The black demonic energy should have surged from his palm, directly blasting Qin Lie away.

But when Wugu Luo raised his hand, no demonic aura appeared.

The air fell silent for a moment.

"What happened?"

Wugu Luo frowned slightly and looked down at his hands.

He doesn't believe in superstitions.

The next moment, he once again activated the demonic energy within his body.

Black lines emerged from his arm, like living venomous snakes, converging along the veins towards his palm.

But just as they were halfway gathered, the demonic energy seemed to be forcibly pushed back by something.

My palms were still empty.

"impossible."

He gritted his teeth and tried again.

It still didn't work.

He could feel that demonic energy was inside his body, but he couldn't release it no matter what he did.

Just then, Qin Lie rushed in front of him.

The shattered snow, gleaming coldly, slashed down.

Although Qin Lie used all his strength in this strike, in Wugu Luo's eyes, it was full of flaws.

The moment the blade fell, Qin Lie mobilized all the remaining vital energy he had.

Uguro seemed to be still trying to figure out what was wrong with his body.

He only raised his arm to casually block the blade when it was almost upon him.

clang!

The snowflakes struck his arm, producing a sound like metal clashing.

The blade landed on the skin of his arm, unable to advance any further.

Qin Lie gripped the knife with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cut through it.

The moment the Snow-Shattering Blade touched that arm, Wugu Luo groaned, and for the first time, a look of pain appeared on his face.

"Damn it!"

He suddenly looked up at Qin Lie.

In those eyes, besides the killing intent, there was also a hint of panic.

Qin Lie also sensed that something was wrong.

That last strike clearly didn't hurt Wugu Luo.

No.

It wasn't Uguro who was injured.

Something within this body was awakened by the shattered snow.

Wugu Luo gave Qin Lie no more chance to think, gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and punched Qin Lie in the chest.

boom!

Qin Lie was sent flying backwards again.

This time, it flew even farther than before.

While he was still in mid-air, another mouthful of blood welled up in his throat.

But Qin Lie was not afraid at all; instead, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

effective.

It really works.

There's definitely something wrong with Wuguluo's body.

Or rather, Pei Jinghan was truly awakened.

Even the slightest lingering regret can turn the situation around.
