Chapter 567 Spirit Ignition Pill!
Sha Hong was surrounded by waves of true energy, her cultivation level reaching the middle stage of the Divine Transformation realm.
Her appearance was originally quite charming and attractive, but now with her eyes wide open, eyeballs bulging and filled with red bloodshot veins, coupled with her ferocious expression, she looked particularly terrifying.
Fang Yu looked at Sha Hong with a slight frown.
The spiritual pill that Sha Hong had just swallowed was an item that most disciples of evil cultivation sects carried with them.
This type of spiritual pill had a common name in the cultivation world, called the Spirit-Burning Pill.
As the name suggests, the Spirit-Burning Pill enhances one’s cultivation level tremendously in a short period at the cost of burning internal spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy mentioned here isn’t just the energy absorbed during cultivation, but the energy that has already been integrated into the body. For cultivators, burning this type of energy not only causes cultivation regression but also greatly reduces lifespan!
Simply put, what the Spirit-Burning Pill burns is actually life force.
“Such a good girl, how did she become corrupted by evil cultivation sects like this…” Lin Batian shook his head and said, “The Righteous Alliance of the past may have been utterly useless, but they weren’t wrong to join forces to eliminate evil cultivation sects.”
“Roar…”
A tearing roar emerged from Sha Hong’s throat as she formed hand seals.
A stream of true energy rose into the air!
A ring of fire appeared beneath Lin Batian’s feet, quickly surging upward to form a pillar of fire!
The scorching heat filled the entire third floor.
Lin Batian stood within the fire pillar and lightly waved the paper fan in his hand.
“Whoosh…”
A gust of wild wind rose up, instantly blowing the flames away.
The golden fire wave over two meters high surged back toward Sha Hong’s position!
Sha Hong let out an angry roar and thrust both palms forward.
“Boom!”
Violent true energy blasted out, instantly dispersing the fire wave.
The already unstable building collapsed in that instant!
“Rumble…”
Like a controlled demolition, the entire building came crashing down!
As debris fell, Fang Yu leaped out of the building’s range.
The subordinate who was paralyzed on the ground was struck on the head by a falling piece of debris, screamed once, and died instantly.
Sha Hong emitted a layer of true energy that blocked the falling debris around her body as she lunged toward Lin Batian on the opposite side!
Her figure moved like a ghost, almost impossible for the eye to track!
In an instant, she appeared behind Lin Batian, extending her right hand with long, sharp nails, striking toward the back of his head.
Lin Batian seemed completely unaware, showing no reaction whatsoever.
“Hahahahaha…”
Sha Hong let out a terrifying bloodthirsty laugh as her right hand violently struck the back of Lin Batian’s head!
“Slap!”
Lin Batian’s entire body burst into a cloud of mist.
At the same time, the building completely collapsed.
Sha Hong flew out from the dust, hovering in mid-air, looking down and laughing wildly.
After taking the Spirit-Burning Pill, the rage and killing intent in her heart had completely erupted, leaving little rationality in her mind.
At this point, she was essentially just a killing machine without any thinking ability.
As long as she could see blood, she would feel extremely excited.
And Lin Batian had just been shattered with one slap of her hand!
“Whoosh!”
Just as Sha Hong was laughing, a subtle sound of wind suddenly appeared by her ear.
“Let me show you what true radiance is.”
Lin Batian, who had just been seemingly shattered by her slap, appeared above Sha Hong’s head, his left hand gripping his right wrist, with his right palm facing down toward Sha Hong.
“Mystic Light, activate.”
Lin Batian’s pupils flashed with blue light, and in the center of his right palm, an extremely powerful true energy gathered.
“Boom!”
This energy hadn’t even been released yet, merely gathered, and it already caused the void to explode with sound!
“Be careful not to kill her,” Fang Yu transmitted a message to Lin Batian from below.
Lin Batian’s expression changed slightly as he remembered this point, and the energy in his right palm suddenly contracted.
For ordinary cultivators, this kind of mid-way energy retraction would be extremely dangerous, likely causing the true energy in the meridians to flow backward, resulting in severe injury or even death by explosion.
But Lin Batian’s control over true energy had reached the realm of perfection, so he didn’t suffer any backlash.
However, during this moment of hesitation, Sha Hong below reacted and quickly moved away from under Lin Batian’s palm.
“Couldn’t you have said that earlier?” Lin Batian said helplessly to Fang Yu.
“Let’s end this quickly, don’t waste time,” Fang Yu said.
“I was just about to finish the battle if you hadn’t…” As Lin Batian was speaking, Sha Hong charged toward him again.
Lin Batian turned his head, looking at the rapidly approaching Sha Hong, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“Since we need to capture her alive, let’s just bind her directly.”
Lin Batian threw the paper fan in his hand toward Sha Hong.
“Whoosh!”
Sha Hong had no time to dodge and collided directly with the fan!
“Bang!”
This fan wasn’t as light as it appeared on the outside! With this collision, Sha Hong felt like she had hit an incredibly hard mountain, her entire body feeling as if all her bones had shattered!
At the same time, the fan emitted light, transforming into strands of rope that bound Sha Hong’s limbs.
After being wrapped several times by these glowing ropes, Sha Hong’s internal true energy was completely forced back into her body, unable to be released.
“Ah…”
Sha Hong roared in anger as she struggled to break free from the ropes, but couldn’t, and fell onto the ruins below.
Lin Batian descended from the air, and Fang Yu leaped forward from behind.
The two stood in front of the fallen and bound Sha Hong, looking down at her.
“You ask,” Lin Batian walked to the side.
Fang Yu stepped forward, looking at Sha Hong with her bloodshot eyes and ferocious expression, slightly frowning.
In this state, it would be impossible to get any information out of her.
Fang Yu directly extended his finger and pressed it against Sha Hong’s forehead.
Sha Hong let out frenzied howls but still couldn’t move at all.
When light emanated from Fang Yu’s fingertip, Sha Hong’s body trembled, and her expression became blank.
Fang Yu’s divine consciousness successfully entered Sha Hong’s soul.
But Fang Yu only saw darkness.
Just like with Old Eight before, these memories seemed to be deliberately hidden.
And this hiding wasn’t because of some prohibition set in the soul, but because at the memory level itself, this segment of memory was missing.
This situation was strange, obviously intentionally done by the Demon Cult, but unsolvable.
With divine consciousness alone, it was impossible to delve deep into a person’s memories.
Fang Yu withdrew his divine consciousness, stood up, and frowned deeply.
After Fang Yu’s soul-capturing technique, Sha Hong seemed to have regained her rationality.
She looked at Fang Yu in front of her, then glanced at Lin Batian standing to the side, her eyes filled with terror.
Now she was completely controlled.
Unable to release true energy, unable to move.
She never imagined that even after taking the Spirit-Burning Pill and having her cultivation surge to the middle stage of the Divine Transformation realm, she still wasn’t a match for these two.
Fang Yu hadn’t even made a move… and Lin Batian had subdued her with ease.
After regaining clarity, Sha Hong knew that Lin Batian and Fang Yu before her were in a completely different league.
The strength of these two might very well be approaching the level of a Hall Master.
“Spare my life, and I’ll serve you like an ox or a horse,” Sha Hong abandoned her dignity without hesitation in the face of death.
For her, tonight was just an accident.
As long as she could survive, she would find an opportunity for revenge later.
“No need to serve like an ox or horse, you just need to answer one question for me,” Fang Yu said.
“What question?” Sha Hong asked, hope flashing in her eyes.
“Does the matter of Ye Shengxue have anything to do with your Demon Cult?” Fang Yu stared at Sha Hong’s face and asked.
“I’ve never even heard that name,” Sha Hong answered.
Her expression was natural, and she didn’t appear to be lying.
With this, Fang Yu was basically certain that Ye Shengxue’s disappearance had nothing to do with the Demon Cult.
“I also have a question. Where is the headquarters of the Demon Cult?” Lin Batian asked.
Hearing this question, Sha Hong’s face changed slightly, she closed her mouth and didn’t speak.
Before their great undertaking was accomplished, evil cultivation sects like the Demon Cult absolutely could not reveal their location, or they would face many troubles.
Everyone who joined the Demon Cult had taken a poisonous oath and had a mark left by their superiors on their bodies.
If they violated the sect rules, it would trigger the mark in their bodies, and they would be immediately executed!
