#182 - Dark Sha
Jun Wuxie's heart was beating rapidly.
The female Wraith stood before the doorway, her ink-black hair fluttering without wind, her dark eyes fixed on him.
An intense, suffocating aura of malevolence surged like a tide, impacting him so forcefully that his body nearly plastered against the hall wall.
In the current situation, relying on his own strength seemed to offer no solution.
"What to do?"
His mind raced, was there any other way besides seeking help from the mysterious woman within the Town-Suppressing Tower?
He didn't want to rely on the mysterious woman's power.
Just as he was racking his brains for a way out, the female Wraith seemed to be scrutinizing him, her gaze sweeping over his body.
After examining him, the female Wraith turned her head to look at the shattered energy cocoon.
Her gaze settled on the golden blood within the cocoon.
Subsequently, she looked at the other breached cocoons.
Suddenly, two beams of black light erupted from her dark eyes.
In an instant.
Violent and icy killing intent engulfed the entire hall.
The female Wraith's body abruptly vanished from its spot, instantly appearing before Jun Wuxie.
Looking at the female Wraith so close, he was suffocated by the malevolence and violence.
His heart felt as if it were being crushed by a massive mountain, on the verge of exploding.
He secretly gathered his blood energy and martial intent, gradually generating a wisp of martial fire between his fingers.
At this moment, the female Wraith suddenly extended her hand.
Her hand was slender and white, a perfect work of art sculpted from peerless jade.
That hand reached towards him, her slender, rounded fingertips slowly tracing his face, moving downwards, across his neck, then slowly back up his face.
Jun Wuxie's entire body broke out in goosebumps.
Although the female Wraith before him was beautiful to the extreme, her captivating appearance in no way inferior to Yan Qingcheng.
However, the feeling she gave was too terrifying.
The violence and malevolence were suffocating.
Those dark eyes with no whites.
Those slender fingers, tracing his face and neck, sent shivers of coldness through his skin, reaching his very soul, chilling him to the bone.
In his right hand, hanging at his waist, martial fire continued to gather.
He prepared to deliver a fierce blow when the female Wraith was at her most unguarded.
As long as he could repel her, he might have a chance to rush into that doorway.
"Martial…"
The female Wraith's alluring red lips uttered a faint, archaic sound.
She moved her face closer, her delicate nose almost touching Jun Wuxie's face, as if lightly sniffing him.
He could even smell the breath she exhaled from her lips.
The gentle breath brushed against his face, causing him to feel an icy chill.
This coldness quickly spread to his scalp, causing the thick black hair on his head to stand on end.
"Die!"
The female Wraith, who had been lightly sniffing Jun Wuxie's face, suddenly erupted with intense killing intent in her eyes.
That slender hand, which had been tracing his face, abruptly locked onto his neck.
In an instant.
Jun Wuxie felt as if his neck was about to snap.
Those slender fingers were like iron pincers, the force emanating from them unimaginably strong!
Just then.
The female Wraith's dark eyes suddenly showed whites.
Those terrifying eyes became clear and crystalline.
Jun Wuxie felt the grip on his neck instantly weaken countless times.
The opportunity had come!
He reacted with lightning speed, his left hand suddenly reaching out, grabbing the female Wraith's neck.
At the same time, his right hand, gathering martial fire, slammed down towards the top of the female Wraith's head.
"Save… save me!"
Just as his palm was about to strike the top of the female Wraith's head, a look of pleading appeared in her clear, crystalline eyes, and she uttered a vague sound.
Jun Wuxie's palm momentarily froze.
But it was only a brief pause, then he continued to strike down.
"Save…"
The female Wraith emitted a begging sound, the whites of her eyes rapidly being covered by blackness, but quickly the blackness receded.
Her expression was full of pain and struggle, her mouth uttering intermittent cries for help.
Jun Wuxie's palm, which had been striking at the top of her head, instantly withdrew all its power.
"You're not a Wraith?"
He was shocked, his mind highly tense earlier, he hadn't noticed that this female Wraith was distinctly different from the Wraiths he had slain.
His palm felt it very clearly, her neck was not formed of condensed energy, but was a substantial flesh and blood body!
He could even clearly feel the pulse beating in her neck.
"Save… Martial Fire Refines Malevolence… save me…"
The female Wraith's voice was intermittent, her eyes, sometimes the blackness spread, but it was immediately dispelled by the whites, as if they were competing with each other.
Martial Fire Refines Malevolence?
Jun Wuxie was taken aback, realized, and his palm instantly covered the top of the female Wraith's head, martial fire continuously seeping into her sea of consciousness, seeping into her body, limbs, and bones.
Ah!!
The female Wraith immediately emitted a shrill sound.
She was struggling frantically, but her strength was clearly insufficient.
At this moment, she was completely different from before, the change in power was unbelievable.
The earlier female Wraith was extremely powerful, but now she was under Jun Wuxie's control, unable to break free.
In her eyes, the whites and blacks were constantly competing.
Gradually, the whites gained the absolute upper hand.
Her eyes became clear and crystalline, with a hint of remorse and sadness, two crystal tears slid from the corners of her eyes.
Jun Wuxie's martial fire continued to pour into her body.
He could clearly feel the malevolent aura in the female Wraith's body constantly receding.
Besides his martial fire, there was also a pure power suppressing the malevolence together.
Finally, the malevolence was suppressed in a corner of her body.
At this time, the violence and malevolence on the female Wraith's body completely disappeared.
Replacing it was a very comfortable aura.
This aura gave him a strange feeling of vigorous vitality, as if all things were blossoming in spring.
"Who are you?"
He didn't let go, still gripping the female Wraith's snow-white neck.
"Lingfei, thank you, young master, for the grace of rebirth!"
The female Wraith trembled her red lips, her speech a little stilted, a little stiff.
"You're called Lingfei? You're human?"
Jun Wuxie was suspicious, the things he experienced today were a bit bizarre.
This female Wraith was actually human?
"Lingfei was originally from the Forest Realm, a member of the Spirit Clan…"
She slowly began to recount her story.
Jun Wuxie listened in shock.
According to this woman named Lingfei.
The world she used to live in was called the Forest Realm, a vibrant world, lush with vegetation and abundant spiritual energy.
The Spirit Clan ruled the entire Forest Realm, and the various clans lived in harmony.
Until one day, ten thousand years ago.
A powerful member of the Spirit Clan ascended to the heavens and opened a coffin, from which dripped a drop of black blood.
That drop of blood fell from the heavens, scattering into the Forest Realm, triggering an unprecedented disaster.
In just a few days, many races mutated, frantically attacking other races.
Any creature attacked by the mutated beings underwent the same mutation.
The Spirit Clan organized strong warriors to resist, but in the end, the entire Spirit Clan was destroyed, everyone mutated, infected and eroded by the Dark Malevolence.
"The malevolence in your body is the Dark Malevolence you speak of?"
Jun Wuxie found it hard to imagine, that such a terrifying Dark Malevolence, just a drop of Dark Blood, could infect and erode an entire world, how could it be suppressed by his martial fire?
Lingfei nodded, saw the doubts in Jun Wuxie's heart, and immediately explained.
Her speech became more and more fluent, perhaps it was because she hadn't spoken for a long time that she seemed a little stilted.
She said that the Dark Malevolence in her body had existed for tens of thousands of years.
In these long years, she had been fighting against the Dark Malevolence, dissipating each other's power. Now, whether it was the Dark Malevolence or her own power, both had weakened to the extreme.
However, her own power was clearly weaker.
Today, meeting Jun Wuxie, she happened to use his martial fire to suppress the Dark Malevolence, so that she wouldn't be completely devoured by the Dark Malevolence.
