“Not good!”
Chen Sisi's face showed terror. She wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. The blood energy contained a chilling aura, as if her soul had been frozen, unable to move.
“Demoness!” The Phantom Martial Emperor shouted angrily. In this critical moment, he immediately unleashed the Phantom Demon Banner, and a vast wave of demonic energy engulfed Chen Sisi, attempting to pull her away. However, that blood energy followed closely behind, and a hissing sound of dissolution rang out. The demonic energy released by the Phantom Demon Banner was instantly eradicated, and the blood energy spread onto the Phantom Demon Banner, causing it to decay rapidly and become severely damaged, its runes dimming quickly.
This was a treasured artifact of the Phantom Demon Sect, yet under this blood energy, it offered no resistance and was destroyed in an instant.
Everyone showed expressions of horror. Such blood energy, if it wrapped around them, would likely mean that no one on the scene could withstand it.
“No!” The Phantom Martial Emperor roared in despair but dared not approach, helplessly watching the Phantom Demon Banner slowly rot away, while Chen Sisi was gradually shrouded by endless blood energy.
“Am I going to die?” Chen Sisi felt a wave of confusion. She struggled to look at Qin Chen, seemingly wanting to imprint this man in her heart before dying. Just as she turned her head, she saw a figure rushing toward her—it was Qin Chen. His expression was grim as he rushed over with everything he had.
Qin Chen didn’t know why he was doing this. He didn’t think at all—in the moment Chen Sisi was in danger, he instinctively made this decision.
“No, don’t come over!”
Chen Sisi screamed in pain from her heart, but she couldn’t make a sound. She knew she was destined to die but didn’t want to implicate Qin Chen. If Qin Chen was wrapped in that blood energy, he would undoubtedly perish as well. Yet, Qin Chen still came. In a critical moment, he instantly appeared by Chen Sisi’s side, pushing her away. The next moment, he was engulfed by endless blood energy.
“No!”
Chen Sisi let out a desperate scream and hurriedly turned around, only to see Qin Chen enveloped by the boundless blood energy. Tears instantly streamed down her face, and her mind went blank as she frantically rushed toward the blood energy, only to be caught by the Phantom Martial Emperor, who reacted quickly.
“Lord Phantom, let go!” Chen Sisi struggled violently. She would rather die herself than have Qin Chen fall for her sake. Seeing Qin Chen being consumed by that blood energy shattered her heart, making it hard to breathe.
She struggled fiercely, wanting to rush into the blood energy and perish alongside Qin Chen.
“Demoness, stop making a fuss.” With a loud bang, the Phantom Martial Emperor struck Chen Sisi on the neck, instantly knocking her unconscious.
Afterward, the Phantom Martial Emperor looked at Qin Chen, who was consumed by the blood energy, disbelief in her eyes.
She hadn’t expected that Qin Chen would sacrifice his life to save Chen Sisi.
“Another foolish boy bewitched by a demoness of the Phantom Demon Sect.”
“Actually seeking death for someone else—what a pity.”
“That Qin Chen had so many fruits of the Law on him, with a bright future ahead, yet he gave it all up for a woman.”
“The Phantom Demon Sect truly gathers demonic women and causes great harm.” The crowd shook their heads and sighed.
It had to be said that among all the talented disciples, Qin Chen was the most impressive in their eyes. Previously, he had even risked his own life to ensure the escape of those from the Alchemy Pavilion, obtaining so many fruits of the Law.
But who would have thought that such a character would perish here for a woman from the Phantom Demon Sect?
“Master!”
Mokala, the Skeleton Captain, and Ancient Cang Martial Emperor all exclaimed in surprise. But they were astonished to find that the soul imprint connecting them to Qin Chen in their minds had not shattered.
