Ying Ziyi pouted and cast a slightly reproachful glance at Ye Tian. "Brother Ye Tian, you’re teasing me again."
Just as the group was laughing and joking, a rustling sound suddenly emerged from the darkness. Moments later, several vengeful spirits, their faces twisted and shrouded in black mist, surged forth from the shadows, charging straight towards them.
In this dimly lit place enveloped by vengeful spirits, Su Yanran's voice rang out like thunder. She gazed seriously at the flickering figures ahead and said loudly, "Ye Tian, these spirits were likely beings above the Emperor level in life. Although their power has greatly diminished now, we must not be careless. They can withstand most spells, but if you use the Burning Sky Technique I taught you in conjunction with the Aotian Sword Technique, you will surely be able to defeat them."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of determination flashed in Ye Tian's eyes. He took a deep breath and began to channel his internal energy. A powerful force of fire erupted from his body, blazing like a roaring flame and instantly illuminating the surroundings.
The intense heat caused Ying Ziyi, who was closest to him, to instinctively step back, her face showing surprise.
Noticing this, Ye Tian frowned slightly and said, "Zi Yi, quickly hide behind me." However, Ying Ziyi shook her head firmly. With unwavering resolve in her gaze, she replied, "Brother Ye Tian, the spirits outside are not very strong right now. I want to take this opportunity to train myself; I can protect myself."
After days of guidance from Su Yanran, Zi Yi had begun to tap into the powers of her Extreme Yin Body and had reached the mid-stage of Celestial Being cultivation.
Listening to this conversation, Su Yanran's face revealed an approving expression. She nodded at Ye Tian and said, "Tian Er, don’t worry; I’ll keep an eye on Zi Yi. She won’t be in danger. Besides, without facing challenges, she will only have empty achievements. Let her go; this is part of her growth."
After hearing Su Yanran’s words, Ye Tian nodded reluctantly as his worries eased somewhat. With his sword in hand, he pointed it towards the sky. The endless sword energy surged forth like divine retribution, accompanied by roaring flames that descended from the heavens and instantly obliterated two blocking vengeful spirits into dust.
Seeing Ye Tian’s display of power ignited a fire within Ying Ziyi; how could she allow herself to fall behind? With a fierce shout, she moved like the wind and unleashed her signature technique—the Emperor's Fist. The punch whistled through the air like a king’s decree, carrying immense authority and strength that shattered a vengeful spirit attempting to ambush them into nothingness.
In that moment, Ying Ziyi’s slender figure seemed to embody boundless strength, leaving onlookers in awe. The nearby vengeful spirits roared angrily and rushed towards them in a frenzy.
Yet Ying Ziyi showed no signs of panic; she danced gracefully as if performing a ballet and unleashed another powerful technique that shook the world. A formidable figure appeared behind her, exuding an overwhelming presence that turned several vengeful spirits into mere dust.
At that moment, Ying Ziyi was surrounded by an aura of supremacy, standing proudly like an empress that commanded admiration. Ye Tian watched in silent admiration; his own techniques grew increasingly domineering with each swing of his sword as if he could cleave through space itself and sever all obstacles.
After an intense battle, the surrounding vengeful spirits were driven away by their combined might and dared not approach again. However, just then, a warning came from Su Yanran within the necklace: "The commotion here is too loud; other vengeful spirits will soon come drawn by the noise. This place is not safe; we must leave quickly. Vengeful spirits possess only simple intelligence; they will disperse if they see no living beings."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's expression sharpened as he immediately grabbed Ying Ziyi's hand and dashed deeper into the shadows. The two moved like lightning through the darkness—two brilliant meteors streaking across the night sky toward the unknown depths ahead.
