Somewhere within the Pregnancy Forest, a special power divided the area.
From the outside, nothing could be seen or heard.
Yet if one could pass through that special power, heart-wrenching screams would reach the ears.
Anyone who saw the person screaming would find it hard to believe.
For the one screaming was the renowned genius in the boundary spiritist circles, Yin Tianchou.
At this moment, Yin Tianchou’s body was covered in bloody lacerations.
They were whip marks, inflicted by a leather whip.
Crack.
Suddenly, a whip lashed through the air. It was not particularly fast, yet Yin Tianchou could not dodge it.
The whip struck precisely on an undamaged patch of skin.
The instant it touched his flesh, skin split and flesh tore. A bloody wound appeared.
Yin Tianchou let out a shrill cry of agony.
Yet after that scream, a gentle voice rang out.
“How does it feel? Comfortable?”
It was Song Yun. She was not only watching Yin Tianchou, but holding a whip in her hand.
“Who are you? Martial power cannot be used here. How are you able to use it?”
Yin Tianchou stared at Song Yun, terror filling his eyes.
He had originally thought Song Yun was just an ordinary girl.
He had planned to subdue her first, then deal with Chu Feng. He did not intend to kill Chu Feng, but to give him a severe beating, leaving him with one last breath.
He had seen that Chu Feng and Song Yun shared an unusual relationship.
So he wanted to torment Song Yun in front of Chu Feng.
He believed that would be the cruelest revenge against Chu Feng.
Yet who could have expected that his very first step would fail so completely.
In his eyes, Song Yun had seemed like an innocent little rabbit. In reality, she was a little demon.
Song Yun’s strength was at the Martial Venerable realm. With such power, let alone him, even the three geniuses from the Gongsun family would be no match for her.
But what puzzled Yin Tianchou most was that the Pregnancy Forest was shrouded in the power of Old Demon Black Fiend. Within it, only boundary techniques could be used. Martial power simply could not be unleashed.
Yet what Song Yun was using against him was martial power, not boundary techniques.
This made Yin Tianchou realise that Song Yun was no ordinary person.
“You can still speak. It seems it is not comfortable enough.”
Song Yun did not answer him. Instead, she smiled sweetly, then lightly flicked her wrist.
The next moment, the whip in her hand changed.
Sharp spikes grew all over it.
Seeing the transformation, Yin Tianchou’s face turned green.
Without a word, he dropped to his knees, clasped his hands together, and began bowing and begging for mercy.
“Young lady, I was wrong. I was only joking. I only wanted to teach that fellow a lesson. I truly had no intentions towards you.”
“What? Teach him a lesson?”
“Can a piece of trash like you teach my Brother Chu Feng a lesson?”
Yin Tianchou never dreamed that his pleas would only make Song Yun’s expression turn even fiercer.
With a sweep of her sleeve, the whip in her hand shot forth like a giant python towards him.
Seeing disaster approaching, Yin Tianchou hurriedly leapt up, trying to escape.
Yet the whip seemed capable of tracking him. The moment he rose into the air, it lashed him viciously back down.
This strike left a horrifying wound on his body.
It was not just skin and flesh that split. Several bones were broken.
Judging by his grimace and expression of extreme pain, it was clear this was no superficial injury. It had damaged his soul.
But this was only the beginning. Song Yun waved her fair hand, and the whip landed on him repeatedly.
If Yin Tianchou’s features were still recognisable before, after these lashes, he was a bloody, unrecognisable mess.
At this rate, he would be whipped to death.
“Damn you, demon girl.”
“If you want me dead, you will not live either.”
Yin Tianchou roared in fury, then abruptly raised his hand.
Swish.
A streak of light shot straight towards Song Yun.
Seeing this, Song Yun smiled coldly, then shifted her body lightly to dodge it.
Hum.
Yet who could have expected that the pearl-sized streak of light would instantly expand.
In the blink of an eye, it covered an area of tens of thousands of metres.
It enveloped not only Chu Feng, Song Yun, and Yin Tianchou, but nearly the entire forest area that Song Yun had sealed.
Though the light did not harm Song Yun, a strange power merged into the Holy Healing Bead in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, the aura of the Holy Healing Bead emanated from within the light.
“A formation?”
Song Yun looked at the light and realised it was a formation.
Heh heh heh.
“Holy Healing Bead. Holy Healing Bead. Holy Healing Bead!”
At that moment, furious roars rose from deep within the earth.
Then the ground began to shake violently. Towering trees toppled, huge chunks of earth flipped outwards.
A colossal creature burrowed up from the depths.
It was a pitch-black monster covered in tentacles.
Whether in form or aura, it resembled the monster from the world inside the Holy Healing Bead, but its aura was far more terrifying.
The instant it appeared, the area was shrouded in the breath of death.
“Haha. It has come. This is the Dark Demon that guards the Holy Healing Bead.”
“Demon girl, you did not expect this, did you? You thought the only danger of the Holy Healing Bead was the world inside it?”
“You are wrong. Outside the Holy Healing Bead, the Dark Demon lies in wait.”
“The Dark Demon usually exists in gaseous form, lurking beneath the Holy Healing Bead, undetectable.”
“But once the Holy Healing Bead appears, the Dark Demon emerges.”
“It did not appear earlier because I used a formation to seal the aura of this area, preventing the Dark Demon from sensing the Holy Healing Bead.”
“Just now, I not only released my sealing formation but also amplified the aura of the Holy Healing Bead. Under my formation, it would be impossible for the Dark Demon not to detect it.”
“If you want me dead, you will not live either. The three of us will die together under this Dark Demon.”
Yin Tianchou was like a madman. Upon seeing the Dark Demon appear, he showed no fear. Instead, he shouted excitedly.
In his view, he was certain to die today. But if he could drag Song Yun and Chu Feng down with him, it would not be a loss.
Aaargh.
Yet suddenly, the enormous Dark Demon let out a terrified scream. Then it tried to burrow back into the depths. It seemed to want to flee.
But before it could escape, a vast suction force enveloped it.
Amidst continuous wails, its body began to disintegrate, turning into wisps of aura that drifted towards Song Yun.
In the end, all of it floated into her mouth.
“You… you… what exactly are you?”
When Yin Tianchou witnessed this scene, he collapsed to the ground in terror, trembling uncontrollably.
He had not only seen the Dark Demon devoured by Song Yun, but he could also see her appearance now.
At this moment, Song Yun’s eyes had turned blood-red. Inside her mouth, a row of blood-red fangs was revealed. She looked utterly horrifying.
She was no longer the pure, lovely girl.
She was clearly a terrifying man-eating demon.
