"What's wrong? Even you, the great Demon Lord, are afraid?" Xiang Xueer forced a calm smile as she slowly unwrapped the cloth covering the instrument, revealing the Fuxi Qin to the Demon Lord from a distance.
Huh? Gunaara stared at the so-called Fuxi Qin for a long time and immediately recognized that it was fake. That Fuxi Qin had been her only instrument since childhood; she even hugged it while sleeping, so how could she not recognize it?
So that's how it is. Her father exchanged a fake instrument with the Demon Lord? Clever, but this is too risky. Xiang Xueer quickly wrapped up the instrument again. The Demon Lord had never seen the Fuxi Qin before, but he couldn't distinguish between the real and fake ones in front of him.
Xiang Xueer slowly placed the instrument on the ground, keeping a distance from the Demon Lord, then turned and ran towards Gunaara, quickly cutting the vines binding her. She turned her head to glare at the Demon Lord, who was slowly approaching the fake instrument, and whispered, "Have you all gone mad? How dare you use a fake to fool him?"
This girl actually figured it out. Xiang Xueer didn't have time to explain and could only warn her, "Shut up, be careful he hears you."
"Hmph! Even if you save me, I won't forgive you!" Gunaara's temper flared up again. After Xiang Xueer cut the last vine and was drenched in sweat, she grabbed Gunaara and ran towards Gu Zhe. "Whatever, I don't care anyway!"
Gunaara finally returned safely to Gu Zhe's side while the Demon Lord picked up the Fuxi Qin from the ground and examined it closely. Suddenly, with a loud 'crack', he crushed the instrument into two pieces.
The Demon Lord's expression darkened instantly, veins bulging on his forehead: "You have some nerve to try to fool me with a fake."
"Oh no!" Xiang Xueer immediately realized they had been exposed and quickly turned to shout at Gu Zhe and Gunaara: "You two get out of here now!"
With Xiang Xueer's furious shout, Gu Zhe quickly pulled Gunaara and turned to run outside. Meanwhile, Li Yunyang and Lian Cheng Xue, who had been hiding behind a haystack, finally stood up and exchanged glances before swiftly landing beside Xiang Xueer.
The Demon Lord looked at the three in front of him with an evil grin on his face. His sharp claws made a clicking sound as he said, "Little girl, I am mercifully giving you a chance. How dare you use that family's Fuxi Qin to fool me? Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The sky suddenly changed dramatically as dark clouds rolled like a giant beast. Xiang Xueer felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed the overwhelming demonic power radiating from the Demon Lord; it was almost unbearable for the three of them.
"Shirley, this isn't good! We three are no match for him!" Lian Cheng Xue exclaimed. Li Yunyang immediately gritted his teeth in frustration: "Lian Xiong, do we even need to say that? The power disparity is too great!"
"Cut, you two don't need to say anything, I already knew!" Xiang Xueer cursed under her breath, feeling the Killing Intent surrounding her intensifying. The magic power injected into her body by the Witch was not to be underestimated either.
The opportunity to prove herself was right in front of her; how could Xiang Xueer give up? With a swift motion, she drew the Azure Wind Sword from behind her. As soon as the Azure Wind Sword was out, it quickly purified the evil magic surrounding her, making her look no different from an ordinary Exorcist.
Lian Cheng Xue and Li Yunyang exchanged surprised glances, astonished that the Azure Wind Sword could actually purify her magic. The Ancient Artifact was indeed impressive.
Two streams of Killing Intent blew across the ground, scattering debris everywhere. In the sky, a fierce clash erupted, creating a series of explosive sounds that shook the entire area.
Ling Zhu tightly hugged Fuxi Qin and looked up at the fierce battle between Xiang Xueer and the Demon Lord in awe, exclaiming, "Oh my God, no way! When did Shirley become so powerful? She's actually fighting evenly with the Demon Lord!"
"Well, what do you expect?" Duck clung desperately to a nearby Tree Trunk, knowing that if he let go, he would be blown away in an instant. "My sister is someone special; both Azure Wind Swords recognize her. Don't forget that the Witch's magic is still within her. In both human and demon realms, no one can match her!"
"Wow! Help!" Just as he finished speaking, he lost his grip and was swept away by the wind. Ling Zhu looked up at the darkened sky and couldn't help but worry, "Please don't let anything go wrong!"
Lian Cheng Xue rubbed her eyes, trying to clear the sand that was obstructing her view of the battle above. "I have a bad feeling; my right eyelid has been twitching all day!"
Li Yunyang was worried that Xiang Xueer might not be able to defeat the Demon Lord, but there was nothing they could do; they could only stand there dumbfounded and watch.
The Demon Lord's strength, magic power, and speed were far superior to Xiang Xueer's. In just a short time, she was already on the verge of collapse. One hand from the Demon Lord was enough to suppress her Azure Wind Sword effortlessly.
"Damn it!" she cursed under her breath and took a few steps back, preparing to unleash her trump card. A surge of true energy flowed from her chest into the sword: "Exorcism Essence: Break Magic..."
Before she could execute the move, she felt a tremor in the Azure Wind Sword as if it rejected her technique. What was going on? She turned around and realized that their battle area was too close to the Nuwa Clan's Village. If she used this technique, it would definitely affect the village.
Now she understood why the Azure Wind Sword had rejected her command. There was no choice; if she truly wanted to fight, she needed to lure the Demon Lord to a wider area.
The crimson pupils of the Demon Lord quickly contracted, and he immediately noticed the Village behind her. A terrifying smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, a smile that made Xiang Xueer feel a chill run down her spine.
He slowly waved his hand, and dark clouds in the sky began to flicker with lightning-like brilliance. Xiang Xueer furrowed her brows as she looked at the familiar scene. Oh no, this seemed to be the Witch's move: Purple Thunder Nine Strikes.
Moreover, this position in the sky was right above Nuwa Village. He couldn't possibly want to destroy the village, could he? If this purple lightning struck down, hundreds and thousands of innocent people in the village would suffer.
"Don't!" Xiang Xueer shouted loudly. She tightly gripped the Azure Wind Sword and quickly flew up towards the sky above the village, positioning herself in the middle. She bit her lip hard and shouted, "Azure Wind Sword, you must hold on!"
"Heavenly Demon Dance: Purple Thunder Nine Strikes." The Demon Lord's hands formed black spheres that grew larger and larger as he maniacally laughed while directing them towards the sky above the village.
Boom! Thunder erupted in the sky as purple lightning fell from nine different directions towards the ground. Lian Cheng Xue and Li Yunyang widened their eyes in shock as they watched Xiang Xueer prepare to block the lightning, shouting, "Shirley, no!"
"Block it! I must block it, even if it costs me my life!" Xiang Xueer took a deep breath, a surge of true energy bursting forth from her body. After elevating her magical power to its peak, she released it all. Her long hair flew wildly in the wind as she was enveloped by a massive pillar of airflow.
Crack! Crack! The nine bolts of purple lightning fell from the sky, crackling with sparks as they descended madly. Xiang Xueer gripped the Azure Wind Sword tightly.
Horizontal, she blocked the roaring lightning.
Vertical, she severed the purple light.
The lightning above cast a purple fear over everyone in Nuwa Village. People walking on the streets looked up at the sky without any knowledge of what was happening, as if a giant pot were covering them tightly, completely enveloping the village.
