Bai Sha sighed softly.
But reaching this point was already enough. After all, she was only a small Qi Condensation Demon Cultivator.
The two stood apart, unmoving. Above them, the two water dragons bared fangs and claws as they fought, causing immense destruction. The Seven-Colored Shell continued to crack and break in multiple places.
Such a massive disturbance naturally drew the attention of other Demons.
Although all the Demons previously at the Seven-Colored Shell were dead, this place was, after all, akin to the center of the Eastern Sea. Demons came and went periodically. Some were now arriving in the distance, watching the battle unfolding near the Seven-Colored Shell from afar, shocked and terrified by the fearsome fight.
“That looks like Senior Yan Mengzhu. Who is she fighting?”
“Is that… a Great White Shark that hasn’t transformed yet?”
“Wait, that aura… is that Late Qi Condensation?”
“Late Qi Condensation fighting a Transformation Realm Demon?”
“Is she using talismans?”
The distant Demon observers quickly assessed the situation.
But even though Bai Sha was only using talismans to fight Yan Mengzhu, the scale of the battle was still utterly shocking.
Given this, even if Bai Sha died, her name would be talked about throughout the Eastern Sea for a long, long time. No second Qi Condensation Demon Cultivator could do this.
The two water dragons clashed relentlessly, unable to determine a victor.
But they didn’t need to.
Aside from the Rock Light Shield and this water dragon, Bai Sha had nothing left to rely on.
Yan Mengzhu, however, was different.
She looked at Bai Sha and asked calmly, “What other trump cards do you have? Feel free to use them all.”
Bai Sha smiled gently. “I have no more trump cards. You can kill me now. Let me experience what it feels like to be killed by a Transformation Realm Demon.”
A hint of confusion flickered in Yan Mengzhu’s eyes.
She truly couldn’t understand Bai Sha. She didn’t know what was up with this Qi Condensation Demon Cultivator; many of her actions were beyond expectation.
But no matter what, it was indeed time to end this.
Yan Mengzhu’s graceful form leaped, arriving directly before the Rock Light Shield. She then pressed a palm directly onto it, shattering the shield on the spot and exposing Bai Sha inside.
Then, that heavy palm rapidly expanded in Bai Sha’s vision.
Bai Sha had already steeled herself to bid farewell to this lifetime, but ultimately, Yan Mengzhu’s ponderous palm didn’t land on her body.
A skeletal white hand appeared before Bai Sha’s eyes. It not only blocked Yan Mengzhu’s attack but even the shockwave from the collision was stopped, leaving Bai Sha completely unaffected.
This was…
Even Bai Sha was stunned by the sight.
Immediately after, she felt something push her. Her body became light and floated rapidly away.
Only then did she clearly see what had happened at her original position.
A white bone skeleton had appeared there at some unknown moment, shielding her from Yan Mengzhu.
“This skeleton… could it be…”
Bai Sha’s heart jolted. She hurriedly checked inside the Blue Spirit Pearl and discovered that the skeleton she had obtained from Lost Island was gone.
Without a doubt, the skeleton that had appeared to block the attack for her was the very same one she had retrieved from Lost Island.
This skeleton could actually move?!
And it had moved to save her?
This turn of events was extremely unexpected for Bai Sha. Yan Mengzhu was equally surprised.
“What… are you?” Yan Mengzhu stared at the skeleton, sensing a strange aura emanating from it. She was puzzled and confused about its true nature.
The skeleton, however, paid no attention to Yan Mengzhu. Instead, it waved a hand at Bai Sha, signaling for her to leave quickly.
Watching the skeleton wave, Bai Sha felt a momentary illusion of seeing Gong Yuxiang’s figure—the image of that infinitely charming woman, showing a look of urgency, telling her to flee.
A complex look inevitably surfaced in Bai Sha’s eyes.
Only now could she confirm that the skeleton she had acquired was indeed Gong Yuxiang.
But why was she sacrificing herself to save her? Was it because of the Dream of the Heavenly Cycle Array Sect? Was Bai Sha truly counted as a disciple of the Heavenly Cycle Array Sect, and thus, Gong Yuxiang, as the Sect Master, felt compelled to save her?
“Whatever you are, you cannot change the outcome.”
Yan Mengzhu’s aura surged, and the water around her churned violently, forming a massive whirlpool that trapped Gong Yuxiang inside.
Seeing this, Gong Yuxiang immediately tried to rush out, but every time she reached the whirlpool’s edge, she was swept back. Her stark white form looked extremely frail and utterly unable to break free.
Though Bai Sha didn’t know what kind of existence Gong Yuxiang was at her peak, at this moment, reduced to a mere skeleton, she was no match for a Transformation Realm Demon.
After trapping the skeleton, Yan Mengzhu’s body flickered and caught up to Bai Sha.
This sight made Gong Yuxiang extremely anxious. She struggled desperately within the vortex, trying to break free to save Bai Sha, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t escape.
Although she now appeared as nothing but a skeleton, anyone looking at her could almost see a stunningly beautiful woman, her face filled with frantic worry.
This made the look in Bai Sha’s eyes even more complicated. Then, she smiled softly, looking towards Gong Yuxiang’s direction, and said, “It’s alright… Shizun.”
With those words, Yan Mengzhu had already appeared before her. She raised her palm once more and brought it down.
This time, there would be no one who could block the attack for her.
im gonna cry that’s so sad and now she’s gonna be forgotten too
