Chapter 101 It's as if she's the only one left in the world.
Jun Ce arrived at the barrier on the back mountain, lowered his eyes for a moment, took off the jade pendant from his waist, and tentatively reached into the barrier.
They got in!
He was overjoyed, put on the jade pendant, and went straight into the back mountain.
The roars of wild beasts echoed through the mountains and forests.
Jun Ce frowned deeply and hurried toward the source of the sound.
Zhai Rong cast the cage formation on the Taotie, and the golden light locked its limbs, causing it to struggle wildly.
"Awooo!" The Taotie let out a mournful howl.
It swung its tail and struck the formation with great force!
Sparks flew from the black scales, and a tremendous clanging sound erupted from the boundless brute force of an ancient ferocious beast, piercing through the magic array and striking Zhai Rongyu's spiritual consciousness again and again.
The formation beneath their feet was on the verge of shattering.
Overwhelmed by pain, Zhai Rongyu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. She mustered her strength, raised her hand to form a hand seal, and poured her remaining spiritual energy into her palm, striking the Taotie heavily!
"Come on! Who's afraid of who!"
The air vibrated and buzzed, and the Taotie's tail snapped off instantly!
A mournful cry echoed through the sky.
The demon core inside the cave seemed to sense something and flew out of the cave, hovering between the human and the beast.
Upon seeing the demon core, the Taotie seemed encouraged, baring its fangs even more fiercely and scratching at the pressure of the magic array with its sharp claws.
Zhai Rongyu caught his breath for a moment, but dared not relax at all, his eyes fixed on the demon core.
I need to be careful.
[If I accidentally drip blood onto a demon core, and it merges with the wolf king's demonic power, what will become of my reputation as a charlatan?]
Jun Ce heard the thought and his face lit up with joy.
It's Rong'er!
He immediately parted the bushes and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find a girl and a ferocious beast locked in a tense standoff. The joy on his face was instantly replaced by worry.
His deep gaze fell on the bloodstains at the corner of Zhai Rong's mouth, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
Rong'er is injured!
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, but he dared not step forward easily, for fear of causing trouble for Zhai Rongyu.
The Taotie struggled frantically, its blood-red maw wide open.
Its fierce, bloodshot eyes stared at the demon core.
Finally, it roared and tore off its own forelimbs with its fangs!
The demon core flashed red light, and its claws instantly transformed into a sharp blade, flying towards the girl opposite it!
"Rong'er, be careful!"
Without a moment to think, Jun Ce instinctively leaped forward, channeling his inner strength to slash at the blade.
The power of the ferocious beast was extremely fierce.
Seeing that he could not resist, Jun Ce's eyes darkened, and he actually reached out and grabbed the blade, blocking Zhai Rongyu in front of him!
Without the slightest hesitation.
puff-
The sharp blade pierced his left shoulder.
His dark robes were instantly soaked in blood.
The ruptured wound emitted wisps of red vapor, which was the remaining demonic power of the wolf king.
He raised his head, ignoring the excruciating pain in his body, and glanced at Zhai Rongyu with a pale face. Only when he saw that she was alright did he feel relieved.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Zhai Rongyu couldn't hide her shock and confusion. Looking at his broad back, her nose tingled with emotion.
Knowing they were no match, they still came.
There's no fool more foolish than you in the world.
Jun Ce gave a reassuring smile, "Rong'er, don't worry, I'm fine."
He paused, then added with a hint of malice.
"It just hurts a little."
When Zhai Rong met his slightly subdued gaze, her heart softened.
Taotie, somewhat annoyed that its actions were being ignored, roared furiously.
Jun Ce turned around and looked at her, his gaze instantly turning cold.
Seeing his intent to fight, Zhai Rongyu immediately became anxious, "You must leave!"
How could mortals withstand the power of ancient ferocious beasts?
Jun Ce seemed not to hear, staring intently at Taotie, his gaze as cold as a still pool.
The wound on his shoulder was emitting red steam, and his consciousness was wavering. He shook his head impatiently.
Zhai Rong gritted her teeth and chanted an incantation to summon the Boundless Divine Tortoise.
The Boundless Divine Turtle manifested its true form within the formation and roared at the Taotie.
However, the girl's spiritual power was already insufficient. After a brief stalemate between the two divine beasts, the Boundless Divine Turtle was at a disadvantage.
[Oh no, if this drags on any longer, my mental energy will be exhausted.]
[Does this mean I really have to absorb the demon's core?]
Jun Ce's eyes surged with a dark tide, turning crimson for a moment.
He absolutely could not let Rong'er put herself in danger.
He stared intently at the demon core, reached out and pulled out the blade from his left shoulder. His eyes sharpened, and he slashed fiercely at his palm with the blade!
Blood gushed forth.
He mustered his last bit of inner strength, leaped forward, clenched his fist, and poured his blood onto the demon core.
"Do not!!!"
Zhai Rong watched helplessly as the demon core merged into Jun Ce's body.
She guessed Jun Ce's intentions almost immediately.
What an idiot!
[They risked their lives to save me!]
If one cannot control their demonic power and is instead attacked by the Wolf King, they will die!
Jun Ce tensed up, letting the vast demonic power rush into his meridians. The violent power surged wildly within his body, and he uncontrollably opened his arms, but his eyes remained unusually firm.
With a bang——
He leaped into the air, his dark hair and black robes fluttering wildly, his body radiating an eerie red light.
His eyes were filled with demonic energy, and they were bloodthirsty and crimson!
With his last shred of reason, Jun Ce channeled his demonic power and slashed fiercely at Taotie, his palm strike surging with the wind!
The immense power of the wolf king severely injured the Taotie, pinning it to the ground.
Amidst the flying blood and flesh, Zhai Rongyu dispelled the formation and saw Taotie lying on the ground, whimpering, its posture contorted.
Upon seeing this, the Boundless Divine Turtle immediately opened its mouth and swallowed it whole.
The ferocious beast entered the body, and the color on the turtle's back instantly turned green.
Zhai Rongyu was surprised to examine her spiritual sense and discovered that her mental strength had suddenly increased to 70%!
Jun Ce, however, was still fighting against the demonic power in the air.
He was covered in blood, with bulging veins on his arms, like a wild beast bound by a python, struggling desperately.
His eyes were sometimes bloodshot, sometimes jet black, and his whole body was shrouded in demonic energy, making it impossible for anyone to get close to him.
Zhai Rongyu looked at him with some anxiety.
[This is a crucial moment for merging with demonic power; using a talisman now might endanger his life!]
"Calm down and focus!" she shouted.
"Wake up! Don't let the demonic energy consume your consciousness!"
"Open your eyes and look at me!"
The girl's clear voice awakened his faint rationality. With his remaining consciousness, Jun Ce lifted his eyelids and looked at her.
Amidst the shadows, the girl's slender figure was exceptionally clear.
It was as if she was the only person left in the world.
Seeing that he reacted, Zhai Rongyu turned her gaze, picked up a stone from the ground, chanted a few incantations, and then struck the acupoints on Jun Ce's body with a series of slaps.
With his acupoints sealed, Jun Ce fell from the sky. Zhai Rongyu reached out to hug him, but was instead pushed to the ground.
"Ugh..." she groaned softly.
[I never imagined the wolf king's demonic power was so ferocious.]
Even someone as strong as me could be tackled.
She thought to herself through gritted teeth.
Jun Ce raised his head, desperately suppressing the turmoil within him, his eyes turning bloodshot as he stared intently at the girl beneath him.
Her lips moved as if she were saying something.
All sounds around disappeared.
He tilted his head stiffly, his bloodshot eyes tracing the girl's crimson lips and tongue between her teeth over and over again.
His animal instincts took over almost instantly.
He lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
