Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

"You've just established your foundation, so your spiritual power is limited. Use it sparingly. I'll deal with these zombies head-on. You just need to freeze the zombies I knock down."

"Also, control your emotions and restrain your spiritual power. The extreme cold spiritual power has affected the environment, suppressing my fire spiritual power and preventing me from exerting my full strength."

Su Xinghe's reminder made Mu Jixue gradually calm down.

The extreme cold spiritual power affected the environment, suppressing Su Xinghe's fire spiritual power and preventing him from exerting his due power.

Mu Jixue's team awareness is still a little lacking.

In the previous battle, she was too immersed in her own power.

However... one person faced dozens of zombies that were comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators. Although these zombies had no intelligence and were just puppets with empty bodies, Su Xinghe was still extremely shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

She had to admit that she had indeed underestimated Mu Jixue before.

"Can you cooperate with me?"

But now that Yun Zhonghe has fallen, Su Xinghe, as the person with the highest cultivation level, took the initiative to assume the responsibility of command.

Mu Jixue heard this and a hint of stubbornness appeared on her lips: "Nonsense, just stop holding me back."

The two men's eyes met in the air. Although there had been some unpleasantness before, they were undoubtedly on the same front at this moment.

No matter what, we must beat the shit out of that father and son from the Chen family!

At the same time, Su Xinghe's gaze unconsciously fell on Su Xiaoxiao, who was trying hard to infuse life energy into Yun Zhonghe.

Su Xinghe suddenly discovered that something was wrong with Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost her soul. Yun Zhonghe's fall was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

Feelings of self-blame, guilt, and regret surged like a tide, surrounding her tightly and almost making her fall into a state of madness.

For a moment, her hair color flickered between black and white.

Su Xiaoxiao: “Huh?”

For a moment, Su Xinghe felt that Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have become another person.

Faintly, it seemed as if something darker was about to surface.

Chapter 282 The Protagonist

"elder sister!"

Fortunately, Su Xinghe spoke in time, penetrating the chaos and fear in Su Xiaoxiao's heart, and promptly interrupting the ominous change from spreading deep into her soul.

Although Su Xinghe was trapped by the complicated situation around her and could not immediately step forward to offer Su Xiaoxiao any practical comfort, her words touched Su Xiaoxiao's heart: "Sister, Brother Yun is fine. He just temporarily fell into a state similar to suspended animation."

Su Xiaoxiao's shaky heart was finally supported.

That’s right, Yun Zhonghe was just in a state of suspended animation. Su Xinghe vaguely sensed it when he just touched Yun Zhonghe’s body.

Su Xinghe speculated that Yun Zhonghe made such a choice because he realized that the Yin energy that was eroding his body had a stronger reaction and desire for living things.

In order to resist this negative energy, Yun Zhonghe had to take extreme measures - he actively put himself into suspended animation, so as to reduce the activity of his body and thus stop the further erosion of the negative energy.

All I can say is that this negative energy is too overbearing and the speed of erosion is too fast, and Yun Zhonghe has no choice.

Sure enough, Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the negative energy that had been raging in his body and had spread to his neck became less active after Yun Zhonghe fell down.

Brother Yun...are you really okay?

After Su Xiaoxiao listened to Su Xinghe's words and realized that it was Yun Zhonghe's own choice, her extremely unstable emotions calmed down.

The strange change that just happened to Su Xiaoxiao also attracted the attention of the head of the Chen family who was hiding in the dark.

"That was just now..."

The voice of the head of the Chen family was low and full of doubts. He was hidden in the encirclement of zombies. His dim old eyes flashed with cunning light in the dimness, like an old fox spying on its prey.

Just as the head of the Chen family was lost in thought, the anxious young master Chen interrupted his thoughts: "Dad, if this continues, the zombies our Chen family has stored over the years will be used up."

These zombies are an important force for their Chen family. Once they are exhausted, the consequences will be unimaginable.

These two seemingly young girls turned out to be extremely powerful, far beyond their expectations. These first-stage zombies, even though they had an absolute advantage in numbers, could not do anything to them.

Su Xinghe's fire magic was like a firestorm, instantly burning batches of zombies, while Mu Jixue used the extreme cold to completely freeze the zombie fragments torn by the flames, completely preventing their self-healing ability.

This cooperation is impeccable.

"The female corpse refined with the blood of a hundred virgins is still not good enough, unless it is a female corpse in the second stage." The head of the Chen family sighed in his heart.

The first-stage zombies were like ants trying to shake a tree in front of Su Xinghe and Mu Jixue, and were vulnerable.

However, refining a second-stage female corpse is extremely difficult. Not only does it require another hundred first-stage zombies to refine it, but the success rate is also extremely low.

To date, the only thing left in their Chen family is a female corpse in the second stage.

And what happened was that the only one escaped.

The strength of a second-stage female corpse is comparable to that of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. If one has such a female corpse in hand, dealing with Su Xinghe, Mu Jixue and Su Xiaoxiao would be a piece of cake.

What a pity!

The number of zombies was decreasing rapidly. Seeing that the situation was not good, the head of the Chen family wanted to retreat, but he could not let these people go. The secret of the Chen family must not be exposed, otherwise once the Immortal Alliance knew about it, it would surely bring endless disasters of extermination.

At this time, Master Chen's face was ferocious, and his voice was like a demon from hell: "Dad, we still have a hundred female corpses left. Let's just refine them all here and try to see if we can break through to the second stage!"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Chen couldn't help but feel hesitant.

What the son said was that compared to feeling sorry for such a group of precious female corpses, the most important thing was to ensure that the Chen family's secrets were not leaked and to ensure the safety of the family.

Then, Chen and his son were in tune with each other, and the blood pool under their feet began to stir, and blood was everywhere.

They were ready to take a gamble and put all the female corpses into the sacrifice.

Rumble——!

The entire barrier space seemed to begin to shake.

The resentment and negative energy generated by refining zombies with magic methods were so strong that even space could not bear it and began to become unstable.

This kind of sacrificial method is simply inhumane, extremely bloody and cruel, and it has no requirements for the cultivator's cultivation level and skills. Even those who are at the foundation-building stage can activate it.

The threshold is low, so it will be more torturous and devastating to the victim's soul.

One hundred virgins refine a female corpse, and then use another hundred female corpses to refine a stronger zombie...

This time's sacrifice was equivalent to the lives of tens of thousands of people, and all of them were young and innocent children!

The air seemed to be filled with the wailing and crying of tens of thousands of children. The sound was shrill and desperate, making the whole scene extremely terrifying.

The behavior of Chen and his son is the greatest blasphemy and insult to life. They have completely become evil and have lost the most basic compassion and kindness in human nature.

Su Xinghe, realizing this, was immediately enraged: "Beasts! How dare you trample on life like this!"

Her voice trembled with anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with extreme disgust and indignation towards the actions of the Chen father and son.

Mu Jixue's eyes darkened and she hurriedly wanted to rush forward to stop them. The group of zombies in front of her was very troublesome and blocked her way.

"Beast?" Upon hearing Su Xinghe's angry curse, the head of the Chen family curled his lips into a cold smile, which was full of disdain for the weak. "What's the big deal? In this world, strength is respected, and the strong naturally have the right to dominate the weak. If it weren't for those hypocritical people in the Immortal Alliance who favor so-called justice, why would our Chen family have to be so cautious and secretive?"

His tone was full of dissatisfaction with the current situation and nostalgia for the glorious days of the past.

Think about how heroic their ancestors were back then. They even sacrificed and refined an entire city. That was truly crazy!

It’s not like now, where we have to spend a lot of money to buy little girls from all over the mainland for sacrifice. It’s really frustrating.

If it weren't for the Immortal Alliance, their Chen family would have dominated the area long ago. Why would they have to wait until today to see such a turnaround?

"You are completely devoid of conscience. Sooner or later, you will be punished by heaven!"

Su Xinghe was so angry that he almost suffocated.

However, the young master of the Chen family seemed to have heard the funniest joke. He laughed heartily, his laughter filled with pride and arrogance. "Retribution? Hahaha, not only will we not suffer retribution, but we will enslave the three of you and make you reproduce for our Chen family! The girl will be raised for rituals and the boy will be thrown directly into the corpse evolution pool to provide blood and energy for our zombies. You are gifted, and the children you give birth to will surely be extraordinary. The zombies you create will surely be even more powerful!"

As he spoke, the young master of the Chen family's gaze once again fell on the blood pool that was emitting blood. His eyes flashed with greed and expectation.

He seemed to have sensed that deep in the blood pool, a more terrifying and powerful force was slowly awakening.

Success? Hahaha! It actually worked!

The success rate of refining female corpses in the second stage is less than 10%. They never thought that this time, a miracle would happen in their Chen family. Could it be that these three women are the lucky stars sent by God to their Chen family?

Wuhu~

Steady!

They are going to be invincible!

Submit to the Chen family and become their eternal slaves!

The father and son were very proud and felt that the outcome was settled.

suddenly!

A bloody hand suddenly pierced through Young Master Chen's chest from behind.

Master Chen: ???

Mu Jixue and others:???

This scene happened so quickly that everyone present was stunned, including Mu Jixue and the others. After concentrating, they noticed that a dark shadow had appeared behind Young Master Chen.

The pair of bloody hands stretched out from the shadows.

Young Master Chen was killed in an instant.

"My son..."

The head of the Chen family shouted in horror. He had never expected such a sudden change.

However, before he could finish his words, the bloody hand chopped off his head like lightning.

The father and son, who had been so arrogant and domineering just now, died on the spot without even leaving a last word.

Mu Jixue's pupils shrank instantly. She instinctively felt an unprecedented fear, and goose bumps stood up all over her body.

Her purple eyes were fixed on the black shadow. Although she couldn't see its face clearly, it should be a person, but her perception was completely blocked, so she couldn't see through it at all.

Not only Mu Jixue, but even Su Xinghe felt unprecedented fear, her lips turned pale with fear.

What is this? !

"Tsk tsk tsk, let me see, this trip really gave me an unexpected surprise." The black shadow laughed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman from the voice, but it was full of arrogance and unruly.

Its gaze was fixed directly on the depths of the blood pool formed by Chen's father and son. Then, it stretched out a hand and easily pulled out a female corpse from the blood pool!

The aura of this female corpse is far more powerful than the ones that were just refined.

The female corpse just woke up from her sleep and let out a shrill roar. She pounced on the black shadow as if it was a conditioned reflex. However, the black shadow just flicked his fingers lightly, as if he was playing with an ant, and knocked the female corpse's head away with a bang.

Just one finger.

Then, the black shadow seemed to open its mouth and devoured the female corpse whole, leaving not even a bone!

Mu Jixue, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xinghe all widened their eyes, their scalps tingling with shock.

That black shadow...what exactly is it?

escape!

At this moment, Mu Jixue had only this one thought in her mind.

She wanted to escape, she had no courage to fight, and even her legs felt weak.

Fear! Fear! Fear! Fear!

My mind has been completely occupied by this word and I can't think of anything else.

But there is nowhere to escape here.

Just when the three girls were frozen in place by fear, almost unable to move, the black shadow finally looked at them slowly with an indescribable sense of oppression.

It laughed, a creepy grin that made people's hair stand on end. Although their face could not be seen, the aura of evil and cruelty was clearly conveyed to everyone through the laughter. Then it began to stride slowly towards them, and every step seemed to step on their heartstrings.

I’m going to die! I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die… This voice kept echoing in Mu Jixue’s mind. She felt as if her heart was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

You can't attack, otherwise you will die. Just stand there and don't move. The opponent is not coming for you.

Mu Jixue could intuitively feel that the black shadow was not coming for her, but was targeting Su Xiaoxiao.

Perhaps the black shadow's intention was too obvious, and even Su Xinghe realized it at this moment. After all, his mental power had reached the concentration stage, and he had some foresight about his own life and death.

She told herself that as long as she didn't act rashly and let the shadow take Su Xiaoxiao away, she might be able to save her life.
