Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Ye Ge stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

strangeness......

Logically speaking, the degree of torment suffered by both sides should be roughly the same.

But why does it seem like this pope girl is more affected than him?

Ye Ge could sense through her mental power that Mo Nanxi's divine power was not only fluctuating erratically, but her body was also trembling slightly, and an unnatural blush and fine sweat had even appeared on her beautiful face.

Although the torment endured should be considerable, the impact will vary from person to person due to differences in willpower, endurance, and pain sensitivity.

Could it be that this pope girl... is very afraid of pain?

No way? ...As the female pope of the Extreme Yin Sect, a level twelve priest, she actually has such a weakness?

"..."

Mo Nanxi gritted her teeth and tried her best to regulate her breathing to suppress the extremely domineering and constantly surging demonic energy of the curse mark in her body.

However, suppressing that demonic energy was already extremely difficult.

Once the battle begins, as the power of the cursed seal clashes fiercely with one's own divine power, a certain unspeakable physiological reaction will uncontrollably emerge and intensify, making that urge even stronger...

The burning pain from the curse mark on her chest could be suppressed by willpower, but the uncontrollable trembling and the increasingly clear sense of oppression threw her into a state of mental chaos, making it almost impossible for her to maintain her elegant floating posture.

She is the Pope of the Yin Sect, how could she do this?!

'That despicable Night Song... As expected, such a vile and despicable person uses such a vile and despicable curse...'

'This shameless person is clearly trying to embarrass me in front of everyone!'

'This can't go on, I can't hold on much longer...'

We must finish this quickly!

Overwhelmed by shame, anger, and a sense of urgency, Mo Nanxi's eyes flashed with a cold light. He mustered his divine power and raised the papal scepter high in his hand.

The staff shone with a dark light, and the once-dissipated purplish-black Yin dragon shadow behind her re-condensed, letting out a low roar. The dragon's might, mixed with her resolute anger, swept across the sky!

"Divine magic—"

Upon seeing this, Ye Ge immediately raised two fingers as well.

However, he raised two fingers not to cast a spell, but to strengthen the activation of the incantation seal.

"Spell Seal - Enhance!"

“Ugh—!!!!”

Mo Nanxi's body trembled violently once again.

The newly formed Yin Dragon Shadow emitted a mournful cry and instantly dissipated into countless purple-black light spots!

'The effect is surprisingly good?'

Ye Ge was slightly taken aback.

It seems this pope girl is really afraid of pain?

But that seems to be true.

You can't compare yourself to others using your own standards.

The rigorous training that the Ye family members undergo from a young age far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine. Starting from the age of five, they must receive training and learning from extraordinary individuals. This includes not only practical combat and theoretical knowledge, but also a very important training program—training in endurance when facing pain.

From a young age, Yege had to learn to maintain her fighting ability and mental clarity while enduring level-ten pain.

The Ye family has two mandatory exams for adults. One of them requires completing an extremely difficult written exam while enduring level 10 pain. This is to train the Ye family members to remain calm and think even under extreme pain. The other exam requires engaging in a death battle with a dark race while enduring level 10 pain!

Therefore, the Night Family members have extremely high tolerance for pain. Their demonic physique allows them to unleash even greater power in bloody battles. If others are already seriously injured and on the verge of death on the battlefield, they may have completely lost their fighting ability. However, when the Night Family members suffer the same injuries, they can still maintain a strong burst of power and think calmly.

"Pope Mo, I think we should just forget about it." Ye Ge smiled. "Judging from your expression, you're almost at your breaking point, aren't you?"

Night Song's original meaning was that if you were to use the curse seal together and test your endurance, you definitely wouldn't be his match.

Continuing the stalemate will not benefit either of them, but will only benefit Sima Qing.

It would be better to stop here and each go our own way.

However, these words clearly took on a different meaning in Mo Nanxi's ears!

Mo Nanxi looked at the glaring smile on Ye Ge's handsome face and felt even angrier!

"You lecherous scoundrel! You shameless and despicable villain! I'll kill you!!!"

Night Song: "???"

What the hell...

Is it acceptable for someone to be so ungrateful?

"The Eye of Extreme Yin..."

Before he could think further, Mo Nanxi had already poured all her divine power into her eyes: "Divine Technique - Ghostly Silence!"

The intricate, dark patterns deep within her pupils spun and collapsed at an unprecedented speed.

An indescribable wave of annihilation suddenly condensed and erupted!

There was no grand scale, no dazzling light, only an absolute deathly stillness that could be seen and where everything was reduced to nothingness. It was silent yet extremely fast, and it annihilated the space where Ye Ge was!

The moment Ye Ge saw the change in the other person's pupils, alarm bells rang in her mind!

A deadly sense of crisis made his hair stand on end, and he reacted almost instinctively—

"Gather the form and disperse the energy!"

Night Song's body suddenly became half-ethereal, attempting to disperse into black mist to avoid the locked attack.

But it was still a fraction of a second too slow.

"Om-!"

Mo Nanxi's eyes widened, her pupils seemingly about to burst.

“Puff——!!!”

Like a hot knife slicing through butter.

The part of Ye Ge's left shoulder that had not yet completely turned into mist was grazed by that invisible and intangible yet unstoppable "ghostly silence" power.

"Well--!"

Ye Ge groaned in pain, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead.

Two or three seconds later, the black mist re-gathered not far away, and Night Song's figure solidified once more.

However, his entire left arm had vanished at the shoulder! Blood gushed from the severed area, and demonic energy intertwined with the remaining extreme yin power, sending waves of burning pain and numbness through him.

Ye Ge glanced at her empty left shoulder, her brows furrowed.

'What an astonishing eye technique... The casting speed is incredibly fast, and the penetrating power is extremely strong. Even though I could sense the powerful divine energy condensing in her pupils through my mental power, I still couldn't completely evade it...'

If it were someone else, it would probably be even more impossible to avoid it.

Ye Ge remembered that the Golden Spirit Priest had died from this very move of Mo Nanxi.

And she defeated him in a single move!

At that time, Ye Ge didn't even see clearly how Mo Nanxi cast the spell, or how the Golden Spirit Divine Official died.

Only after experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand how terrifying this move is!

"You actually managed to evade my 'Ghostly Silence'." Mo Nanxi looked at him coldly and said, "In the mortal realm, you are the first person to do so."

"It's not exactly like I completely dodged it." Ye Ge glanced at the severed arm, her tone still calm. "At least you still managed to cut off my arm, didn't you?"

"Next time, you won't be so lucky." The patterns in Mo Nanxi's pupils began to slowly rotate again, clearly preparing for a second attack.

"Hey, wait a minute." Ye Ge said helplessly, "Didn't you say you were going to capture me alive? Why are you resorting to such a deadly move now? If you hit me head-on, would I even have a whole corpse left? If you kill me, how are you going to explain it back to your Lord of Extreme Yin?"

Mo Nanxi: "You filthy scoundrel, you brought this on yourself!!"

Night Song: "...How did I become so lewd again?"
