第四卷 七星岛 第七百五十六章 灭妖

"Idiot girl, do you still not understand? The technique Black Butterfly Lady used is similar to the self-mutilation secret art she just discarded." "Self-mutilation secret art?" Moon's eyebrows twitched as a look of confusion appeared in her eyes. "Is it true or false? Young Master, are you saying that this technique is the same as the demon path's method where she abandoned an arm?"

"Indeed, but now she has fully corrupted her entire body. In the short term, although it can significantly boost her strength, the consequences are not trivial. Black Butterfly Lady has truly gambled everything."

The snake demon's face was filled with shock, and its arrogance gradually faded as it became clear that the opponent wasn't using any ordinary power. After transforming into a fully corrupted state, Black Butterfly Lady's presence suddenly surged.

Seeing the tentacles with spines wrapping around her, the snake demon raised its head and let out an angry roar. A red light flashed across its body, and it vanished in a strange manner.

Black Butterfly Lady was taken aback before a sneering smile appeared on her lips. Her entire body had fully transformed into a monstrous form from another world, except for her head.

Dozens of tentacles with spines grew from her left arm, while the right turned into a long curved blade, resembling a mantis's front legs. A ghastly face appeared in her abdomen, filled with sharp teeth and an open maw.

Seeing the snake demon use Wind遁术 again, a black beam shot out of its ghostly mouth.

A loud explosion echoed as several demons tumbled over, their eyes showing signs of surprise. Before they could react, Black Butterfly Lady lunged at them once more.

The demon was furious and no longer retreated, raising both front paws. With a series of "sizzling" sounds, countless claw shadows appeared.

As a transformed creature, her body had been hardened through countless battles. Her claws and teeth were as formidable as the法宝 of an元婴 cultivator. Even mid-stage old monsters dared not face them head-on. However, Black Butterfly Lady showed no fear, charging straight into the claw shadows.

Her body wasn't particularly hard; deep wounds marred her from her lower abdomen to her chest, but she didn’t care. Wounds didn't bleed; instead, countless flesh buds began to move, revealing spiky tentacles in their place. "Young Master, is this woman mad? Even if she wins, her body will collapse under such fighting." Moon's eyes showed a hint of confusion as she watched Black Butterfly Lady.

Black Butterfly Lady seemed like a tiger driven mad, using all-out tactics that would lead to mutual destruction. Her wounds multiplied while the young demon suffered greatly; its beautiful fur was stained red by blood.

"Nothing is strange. I just said that full-body corruption comes with great costs." Costs? Yes, this process is irreversible. In other words, regardless of whether she wins or loses in this battle, Black Butterfly Lady’s body can no longer be used. Her元婴 must find a new host. What does she have to fear?"

Lin Xuan smiled. "That's right. This transformation is irrevocable. Whether she wins or loses, her body will no longer serve her. She has nothing to lose."

"Ah, I see." Moon nodded, understanding dawning on her face. No wonder Black Butterfly Lady had said she didn't want a quick defeat.

The snake demon understood too late, as it was now trapped by dozens of tentacles with spines piercing its skin, causing immense pain.

"Friend, let's stop here."

As the saying goes, fortune favors those who wait. In just a short while, the situation had reversed, and it was the young demon that wanted to end the battle.

"Hmph!"

Black Butterfly Lady laughed, her face filled with malice. She had been pushed to this point by the opponent, yet they wanted to shake hands? Was she a fool?

She said nothing as her spiritual energy surged. The tentacles tightened around the young demon, no matter how much it struggled. The ghostly face opened its mouth and shot out a red tongue that pierced the young demon's abdomen.

Almost simultaneously, the young demon’s front paws suddenly stretched like they had no bones and stabbed into Black Butterfly Lady’s chest, resulting in mutual destruction.

Normally, demon bodies were far stronger than human cultivators', but this time was different. Black Butterfly Lady used ancient demonic techniques, and such injuries only made her frown before she ignored them. She raised the giant bone blade that had once been her right arm.

A flash of light and a spray of blood erupted as Black Butterfly Lady severed both the demon and its young soul in half.

This time, there was a clear winner. A look of joy flashed across Black Butterfly Lady’s face. Before she could react, a beam of light shot out from the blood.

From afar, Lin Xuan saw it clearly—a miniature version of the demon's head clutching a dragon-sized gemstone between its front paws.

Of course, the young soul had escaped with the demon’s essence.

Black Butterfly Lady wouldn’t let her go. She opened her mouth and spat out a black demonic fog that instantly transformed into a large black hand, grabbing at the young soul with surprising speed.

The young souls didn't want to sit idly by; they opened their mouths and released thin strands of their life force.

Though only as thick as a hair, this was their own essence. The young soul's color faded, and it looked exhausted.

"Hmph, useless! A mere fragment of your soul thinks it can escape my sight?" Black Butterfly Lady’s face showed disdain. She spat out more demonic fog, not caring about the power inside since she would soon discard this body anyway.

The black hands didn’t materialize; they blocked all possible escape routes from every direction. The young soul's face finally showed despair.

Disappointment,不甘, and anger...

Initially a hunter, but now the hunted.

But there was no going back in this world. No matter how much the young soul struggled, its fate was sealed. After half a cup of tea, it was caught by a hand made of demonic fog.

Satisfied with her victory, Black Butterfly Lady took out an jade box from her storage bag and placed the young soul inside. She then cast several prohibitive spells before carefully storing the box away.

Black Butterfly Lady sighed. This treasure hunt had ended. Her corrupted body wouldn't last much longer; staying in such a form might affect her元婴's mental state. Just as she was about to withdraw her元婴, she noticed something. "Who is behind that ice rock? Come out!"
