Suddenly, Fang Zhi raised an object and shouted, "Child, do you recognize this?"
The object emitted a dazzling light in the air, illuminating the entire space as if it were broad daylight. Wei Ning's eyes widened in surprise at the sight.
"The Zhu You Ruler." Before Wei Ning could speak, Wu Fei exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes filled with envy and resentment. "The Zhu You Ruler! Fang Yu Jue of the Fang Family actually bestowed this upon you."
This object was one of the renowned treasures of the Zhu You School, known as one of the two great rulers alongside the Mao Mountain Blessing Ruler. It was also a treasured artifact of the Fang Family, and its appearance in Fang Zhi's hands indicated that his status within the Fang Family was undoubtedly extraordinary.
"Child, this object is one of the thirteen treasures passed down from the Thirteen Schools of Blessing. It is an ancient divine artifact, effective against demons and spirits alike. I may not be able to deal with you today, but I believe that even if you manage to escape while I wield this Zhu You Ruler, your two Evil Spirits beside you will likely perish under my ruler."
Wei Ning spoke in a deep voice, "What do you intend to do?"
"Our Zhu You School has always been compassionate. This Zhu You Ruler has seen too much bloodshed; my master has instructed that it may only be used once a day. Today, you have no choice: either you take this ruler yourself, or choose between this female ghost and the other spirit. However, I cannot guarantee that they will not be reduced to ashes under its power."
Wei Ning fixed his gaze on Fang Zhi and said, "If you dare to harm even a single hair on either of them, I will ensure your demise here today!" Although Wei Ning's voice was calm, it carried a chilling murderous intent that sent shivers down one's spine.
Due to having his memories erased, Wei Ning was unaware of his own transformation. In reality, after three years of being refined by Wei Xian Gui, he had undergone three stages of soul refinement—refining the heart and form—and had developed a subtle killing aura from daily encounters with Wei Xian Gui. He simply did not realize it.
Wei Ning's eyes were locked onto Fang Zhi with unwavering intensity. Under the mental pressure, Fang Zhi felt increasingly agitated as if a mountain were pressing down on him.
In that moment, Wei Ning had intertwined his gaze with Fang Zhi's. Fang Zhi could clearly see the piercing brilliance in Wei Ning's eyes, akin to nine blazing suns. He felt as though he were being consumed and enveloped by that golden light, slowly succumbing to its weight. His eyelids grew heavier, and his hands that held the spell began to loosen; the brilliance of the Zhu You Ruler he held high dimmed gradually.
Through his Yin-Yang Eye, Wei Ning had locked onto Fang Zhi's spirit from afar, gradually eroding his mind and willpower. Fang Zhi felt beads of sweat pouring down but could not comprehend why.
"Don't look into his eyes!" Wu Fei suddenly shouted. As an observer, he had sensed something was amiss and called out to Fang Zhi.
At that moment, Fang Zhi seemed to awaken from a dream, shivering all over and drenched in sweat. Wei Ning silently lamented the situation; his Yin-Yang Eye and Soul Capture technique were not yet perfected. Moreover, Fang Zhi was a master of the Corpse Driver from the Fang Family, having undergone special training that made his mind incredibly resilient. If Wei Ning had held on for just a few more seconds, Fang Zhi would have been forever trapped in the mental world Wei Ning had created for him. If Wei Ning hadn't called out, he would have been lost eternally, becoming a Walking Corpse. Fang Zhi was unaware of this but knew from past experiences that he had already come dangerously close to losing everything.
Fang Zhi realized he had lost the initiative; if he didn't act now, he might never get another chance. He raised the Zhu You Ruler against the wind and formed a hand seal. The Zhu You Ruler emitted seven beams of light—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—each pinning down at the seven crucial points around Wei Ning: Yunkeng, Shangmen, Zichen, Shangyang, Yang, Jade Lodge, and Taiyou. Instantly, a self-sustaining Taiji formation surrounded Wei Ning, blocking his escape.
In Taoist battles, magical artifacts often played a decisive role. Even someone with poor skills could rise to the level of top experts if they possessed a powerful artifact—much like an unarmed person suddenly wielding a gun.
At that moment, Wu Fei felt both hatred and envy towards Fang Zhi. He realized he had been left far behind by Fang Zhi. It was laughable that he had been training day and night in hopes of surpassing him.
In just five short years, Fang Zhi had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Wei Ning's figure flickered as he attempted to break through the seven beams of light that formed an impenetrable barrier around him. No matter how hard he tried to escape, it was futile. Fang Zhi raised the Zhu You Ruler high above him and struck directly at Wei Ning's head.
With a thunderous crash, Wei Ning was driven into the ground. Dust and debris flew up as Ding Ying and Liu Linglang screamed in shock; it felt as if an earthquake had struck, creating an unfathomable chasm beneath them.
As soon as the Zhu You Ruler was unleashed, it indeed terrified the Demon God!
Fang Zhi let out a sigh of relief and revealed a sinister smile; having been struck by the Zhu You Ruler, there was no way Wei Ning could still be alive!
Suddenly, a howling sound erupted from what seemed like the Ninth Underworld as a figure shot straight up. By the time Fang Zhi and Wu Fei could see clearly, Wei Ning had already circled around them once, his face like iron—he appeared genuinely enraged.
With a loud clang! Fang Zhi finally heard a noise; when he looked down, he found that the Zhu You Ruler he held was now dangling on the ground. As he glanced around again, something seemed off; he looked at Wei Ning and then back at himself.
Suddenly, Fang Zhi let out a heart-wrenching scream.
His arm, which held the Zhu You Ruler, had been severed by Wei Ning without him realizing it, and now it lay in Wei Ning's grasp.
Wei Ning tossed Fang Zhi's arm to the ground and said, word by word, "If I had wanted to take your life just now, you would already be a corpse."
"You thief! Either you die today or I do!" Fang Zhi, having lost an arm, was filled with rage. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as if he wanted to swallow Wei Ning whole. With his remaining hand, he struck the Yin Luo in his embrace desperately. The Gu Corpse suddenly went wild, lunging at Wei Ning, while Fang Zhi used his toes to lift the Zhu You Ruler into the air.
"I want to see how you can make a decision with just one hand!" Wei Ning shouted, shifting his hands into a pointing gesture and bypassing the Gu Corpse to stab directly at Fang Zhi.
At that moment, the Gu Corpse began to emanate a dark energy from its head, as if it were vaporizing. Its body slowly started to disappear, black mist spreading out into the surrounding forest.
Wu Fei's eyes widened in fear as he exclaimed, "He's gone mad! He’s disintegrating the Gu Corpse! He wants us all dead here." Without waiting for anyone else, he quickly ran away.
Just then, a clear ringing sound echoed from not far away. A delicate voice accompanied the chime rhythmically: "Beneath Phoenix Mountain lies Phoenix City; within Phoenix City resides the Phoenix Deity; the Phoenix Deity transforms into the Phoenix Tree; the Phoenix Tree conceals the Phoenix Heart."
