Lou Miao had always felt she was the most tragic and wronged, and that retaliating against the entire world was justified. But Luo Yingbai’s words mercilessly exposed her facade, leaving her momentarily unable to retort, her anger burning even more intensely!
“Fine, you’re impressive, with your grand principles! I can’t argue with you!
Lou Miao laughed in anger, raising her hand with a dazzling light in her palm: “Since the time has come, I’ll let you die and see if this great sage will harbor resentment!”
Her light was extremely piercing, almost blinding.
When this light fell into the darkness, it was like a fish bait dropping into a fish pond, instantly attracting countless resentful energies. The entire building began to shake violently.
No matter how much resentment Lou Miao had in her heart, at this moment, Luo Yingbai, who had torn down the last layer of her inner barrier, was the person she most wanted to kill.
She stared at Luo Yingbai’s face, expecting to see panic, but Luo Yingbai just smiled.
Luo Yingbai said: “When you say the time has come, you mean midnight, right? It’s impressive that you waited for the peak of yin energy to make a move and even said so much.”
The intense resentful energy rushed to Luo Yingbai’s side without affecting him at all. Lou Miao was stunned and cautiously stepped back: “You—”
Luo Yingbai said: “You’re stalling for time, and so am I. We’re both waiting for this moment!”
As he spoke, Luo Yingbai pinched his fingers, and a purple starry spark shot from his fingertips directly towards the white light released by Lou Miao’s burning soul. The tiny purple spark collided with the white light, instantly expanding and suddenly dispersing!
With a “crack”, something seemed to shatter. A whirlpool suddenly appeared in the unknown darkness, and the previously thickening resentful energy was quickly sucked into the vortex. The power of the barrier was gradually weakening.
Lou Miao felt intense pain throughout her body, shocked.
She had considered the possibility of failure, but never imagined it would happen so quickly—in the blink of an eye, the situation had changed!
She finally understood Luo Yingbai’s purpose, exclaiming in terror: “Are you crazy! You’re actually tearing open the rift between the yin and yang worlds!”
Weakened by resentful energy, she had no intimidating power. Luo Yingbai didn’t even recite an incantation, casually striking with a knife and responding: “Not as crazy as you.”
The knife light swept through the air, instantly cutting Lou Miao down to the ground, transforming her into a wisp of white smoke. Luo Yingbai threw a yellow talisman, which absorbed the white smoke.
The ground’s trembling was becoming more intense. After his successful strike, he quickly ran towards the small house where Xia Zhi and Xia Ni were located.
Although he had notified Xia Jianning, Luo Yingbai was not the type to sit and wait for rescue. Moreover, with the mysterious Peng Xuan in the building who could take action at any time, he decisively chose a method of fighting poison with poison.
Xia Xianning sidestepped and leaped, stepping on a large tree nearby, jumping over the heads of the yin corpses and landing on one knee behind them.
Immediately after, before the yin corpses could regain their senses, his slender fingers flexibly made a few gestures, and he whispered: “Prison Wind, Thunder Outer Courtyard, please summon Fire Fierce Hound to come here, now!”
A red light flashed, and something that looked very much like a dog appeared among the corpses. Standing upright, it was over a person tall, with a human body and a beast head, its features grotesque. It tilted its head back and let out a sharp, whistle-like cry.
Hearing this sound, the yin corpses instinctively felt fear and retreated outward. But no matter how fast their steps, they couldn’t match the speed of sound. In the blink of an eye, they were shaken by the sound waves, letting out wails and falling to the ground in scattered groups.
At this moment, in Xia Xianning’s eyes, a black cloud-like entity emerged from above the yin corpses’ heads, with countless ghosts leaping within. Some had hideous faces, some looked miserable. Whether elderly or young children, all were howling and struggling, baring sharp teeth yet hesitating because of Xia Xianning’s aura.
Xia Xianning sighed softly, clasping his hands in front of his chest, then pushed forward with a reverse palm. A fire dragon seven or eight meters long roared from his palm, tearing through the air and sweeping away the black mist.
He struck his palm, and the firelight extinguished, making the surrounding space suddenly much clearer.
Xia Xianning was worried about Luo Mingbai. Seeing such scenes everywhere, he couldn’t imagine what might be happening inside the building.
His heart pounding, he rushed toward the building’s entrance. After a few steps, he heard a knocking sound from above: “Xianning!”
The building was already tilting. Xia Xianning looked up to see Luo Mingbai poking his head out from the fourth floor, waving at him. His voice was strong, suggesting he was unharmed.
Xia Xianning called out, “The building is dangerous. Why haven’t you come down? Hurry up!”
He remembered there were still others inside – Xia Zhi, Xia Ni, Zhu Jinya, Xia Zheng, Peng Xuan. So he added, “I’ll come up to find you!”
“Wait,” Luo Mingbai said. “Take the child out first. I’m throwing her down, catch her!”
He first hugged Xia Ni, quickly embracing her and saying, “Don’t be afraid.”
Then Luo Mingbai threw the child from the building.
As Luo Mingbai threw the child, Xia Xianning had already drawn his sword, tapping the window sill and leaping up, extending his arms to catch Xia Ni securely before she could even cry out.
Luo Mingbai smiled and then threw Xia Zhi down in the same manner. As Xia Zhi fell, the building suddenly shook and tilted further. A piece of debris fell with him, which Luo Mingbai quickly sliced away.
Xia Xianning held Xia Zhi and Xia Ni, and Luo Mingbai shouted, “Don’t worry!”
He then pulled his head back into the window. Without wasting any time, Xia Xianning gave that window a deep look before turning and running out of the barrier.
Before Xia Xianning, other special investigation team members had already rushed into the building. Luo Mingbai had two people carry the unconscious Xia Zheng and Zhu Jinya out.
He knew Peng Xuan was still inside, but he didn’t need to worry about his life. With the building about to collapse, if Peng Xuan wasn’t suicidal, he would definitely run out. They could catch him easily outside.
Luo Mingbai turned back because of the yin-yang boundary crack.
He had calculated that this location directly faced the Great Fierce Fire Hell in the underworld, where fires burned fiercely and continuously. If they didn’t find the specific location and take measures, these flames would eventually spread to the human world.
The building’s temperature was rising, confirming this point.
Just as Luo Mingbai turned back, a deafening roar erupted…
Wei Shou was stunned for a moment before quickly understanding Luo Mingbai’s meaning. The fire was too fierce, and critically, there were many fierce ghosts suffering in the blazing flames. If they were to squeeze out through a small opening in a panic, it might easily cause an explosion.
Wei Shou said, “We’ll go with you.”
Luo Mingbai said, “Call people, let’s go.”
Wei Shou whistled, and soon many people rushed over. This time the fire had started, and the direction was easy to find. A group of people ran towards the direction of the thick smoke, with the ground constantly shaking and debris occasionally falling from above.
