Shen Xiaozi saw all this in her eyes, this desperate scene, she was naturally familiar with it, she didn't want to escape anymore, didn't want to be protected again, and then watch the people she cared about die in front of her, leaving her alone in the world.
Suddenly, she let go of the little Tiger demon. The little Tiger demon looked at her in confusion.
"Little Tiger demon, from now on you must listen to Xiaowei sister obediently, understand?" Shen Xiaozi patted the Little Tiger demon.
Then, she walked directly towards the huge corpse demon's body, which was only two feet away from her. Little Tiger demon realized something was wrong, turned around and ran towards Xuan Xiaowei's back, wanting to tell her that something was wrong with Shen Xiaozi.
Just as its calf was halfway through, a powerful force suddenly burst out, causing it to be shaken and fly onto Xuan Xiaowei's back.
Xuan Xiaowei turned and held the little Tiger demon, "This aura... suddenly, what's going on? Huh? It's Xiao Mei... weren't you supposed to be by Xiaozhi's side?"
Xuan Xiaowei's little Tiger demon on her shoulder was nervously turning back and forth, clearly uneasy, as if its tiny movements were hinting at a major change ahead. Its small eyes suddenly became unusually bright, as if it had reached extreme anxiety.
Xuan Xiaowei felt the rapid change in the atmosphere around her, and her eyes quickly became sharp, as if they could penetrate the darkness.
"Everyone, look quickly! What is that?" Sitou Lian's eyes instantly widened, her finger stiffly pointing into the distance, her face slightly paling with tension.
Everyone followed the direction of Sitou Lian's finger and their gaze fell on Shen Xiaozi. At this moment, Shen Xiaozi's aura was overwhelmingly powerful. Then, strange green smoke began to emerge from the huge corpse demon around her, and it disappeared as if being sucked into a black hole.
Shen Xiaozi stood there, her face turning as pale as a corpse, her eyes turning blood red as if stained with blood. Her whole body was filled with an eerie aura, and no trace of her humanity could be felt.
Those originally fallen corpse demons suddenly seemed to be injected with new life, leaping up from the ground and instantly restoring into a formidable army of corpse demons.
"What is... what exactly is happening?" Xuan Xiaowei stared wide-eyed at Shen Xiaozi's transformation, her mouth hanging open as if she had lost the ability to speak.
Bai Cang tightly grabbed Xuan Xiaowei's hand, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes: "Could she have swallowed the corpse demon's demonic pill? Is this woman crazy?"
Xuan Xiaowei looked at Bai Cang in surprise and asked, "What? Swallowed the corpse demon's demonic pill? Wouldn't that... "
Bai Cang tightly grasped the long sword, his face extremely serious: "The risk of swallowing the demon pill is extremely high, especially when it comes from a corpse demon. The demon pill contains powerful demonic energy, which may backlash against the swallower. It's simply seeking death!"
Xuan Xiaowei's pupils suddenly shrank, her expression becoming unusually serious. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. At the same time, Sitou Lian and the others' expressions were also extremely tense, their faces pale, as if frozen by the oppressive pressure.
The entire venue seemed to be under a heavy atmosphere, with the air becoming thick, filled with unease and fear. Everyone was acutely aware that the current atmosphere indicated that something very serious was about to happen.
"Shen Xiaozi," smiling, spoke with a cold and mocking tone, "Ah, it seems everyone has recognized me. Then let's end this good show." After saying this, her figure quickly became hazy, like rapidly dispersing smoke, and in an instant, she pounced towards Xuan Xiaowei and the others.
Bai Cang showed a stern expression, swiftly wielding the sword in his hand, gathering the sword energy into an indestructible barrier. However, as soon as the barrier formed, it was torn apart by Shen Xiaozi's demonic energy, as if it were made of paper.
"We can't let her get close!" XuanYuan ZhanYue instantly grasped the critical situation and raised his divine sword to join the battle. The sword light and demonic energy intertwined and danced in the air, forming dazzling light and shadows, yet Shen Xiaozi's assault still couldn't be completely stopped.
At this moment, Xuan Xiaowei felt the small Tiger demon on her shoulder trembling slightly, and she instantly realized that she needed to find out the root cause of Shen Xiaozi's behavioral changes.
Gathering her spiritual power throughout her body, Xuan Xiaowei emitted a beam of light directly towards Shen Xiaozi. When the beam hit, Shen Xiaozi only shuddered slightly, but his speed did not decrease.
Shen Xiaozi suddenly stopped and turned to Xuan Xiaowei, his eyes filled with sorrow and confusion, staring at her intensely. "Xiaowei, is it really you?"
Xuan Xiaowei's heart shook, and she shouted, "Shen Xiaozi, snap out of it! This isn't like you!" Her voice was filled with despair and pleading.
Shen Xiaozi's body suddenly shook. Although her eyes did not change, the suppressed demonic energy was still flowing within her, seemingly resisting against some kind of power.
Without any warning, Shen Xiaozi suddenly bit Xuan Xiaowei's arm, leaving everyone present stunned. A hint of heartache flashed in Bai Cang's eyes as he slowly approached Shen Xiaozi's neck with his sword.
At that moment, Xuan Xiaowei quickly drew her sword and blocked Bai Cang's sword.
"What are you doing? She's already delirious. For Shen Xiaozi, this will only be torture. Just let her be released!" Bai Cang looked puzzled and worried.
Xuan Xiaowei tightly gripped the hilt of her sword, her eyes firmly locked on Bai Cang. "I know the risk is great," her voice cut through the tense air, "but I have to try. I believe Shen Xiaozi is still in there, not completely transformed into a corpse demon." A hint of unwavering determination shone in her eyes.
Bai Cang's tense expression slightly relaxed, staring thoughtfully at Xuan Xiaowei, "Are you saying..."
Shen Xiaozi suddenly released Xuan Xiaowei's wrist, their pupils still crimson, but their lips slowly curved upwards.
She smiled, and the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth made the scene appear both sad and strange. In that instant, Xuan Xiaowei seemed to see a glimmer of clarity in Shen Xiaozi's eyes.
"Xiaozi, is that you?" Xuan Xiaowei asked eagerly, staring at her intently. "Does my blood help you suppress the corpse poison? Tell me, does it?"
Shen Xiaozi did not answer. Her aura suddenly became even stronger, and then a burst of energy sent Bai Cang, Xuan Xiaowei, and over a dozen female disciples flying.
Sitou Lian fell to the ground, her eyes filled with fear. She felt an even stronger aura, having broken through from a third-rank demon to the fourth level. She tried to speak, but fear rendered her voiceless.
Shen Xiaozi, or should I say, the evolving Shen Xiaozi, slowly walked towards them, more precisely towards Xuan Xiaowei, with each step filled with an ominous atmosphere.
Just when everyone thought the end was near, she suddenly spoke: "This time... it's my turn... to protect you."
At that moment, a whip lashed out swiftly towards Xuan Xiaowei, attempting to grab her, but Shen Xiaozi quickly moved and grabbed the whip with his hand.
"Oh, I thought you were so exhausted that I could easily achieve my goal," the hag of the Fourth Level revealed her true form, with a cold smirk on her face. She had been waiting for them to exhaust their strength. Even though the bloodline of the goddess descendant had become thin, she still dared not underestimate them.
Hag's gaze turned to the corpse-possessed Shen Xiaozi, and in an instant, she felt a sense of unease.
Just as she thought the time was ripe and was ready to make her move, determined not to let the captured goddess descendant fall into the hands of other monsters, she unexpectedly found that the corpse demon, who had already reached the fourth level of the demon realm, was attacking her.
She originally thought that Shen Xiaozi had completely turned into a corpse demon, but she didn't expect that she still retained her humanity.
This made the hag temporarily stop her hand, not daring to attack easily. She knew deeply that the situation of this battle was no longer as simple as she had expected.
