After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 404

An Jiuxi glanced at Shi Wenfu indifferently, then gripped the dagger tighter.

"I am fine."

She was panting heavily, her gaze fixed on the center of the formation.

Seeing the light gradually brighten, he then inserted the dagger into the center of the magic circle.

"Boom!"

The weather was sunny just a moment ago, but now it's covered with dark clouds.

It looks like a downpour is about to begin!

Shi Wenfu looked up in surprise at the changing sky, and his pupils contracted when he noticed the purple light flashing intermittently within the dark clouds.

He quickly lowered his eyes to look at the girl sitting in the center of the formation, a trace of blood still remaining at the corner of her mouth.

Despite his slender frame and seemingly frail appearance, his eyes held an exceptionally firm gaze.

"An Jiuxi, do you even know what you're doing right now?!"

Shi Wenfu frantically patted the protective shield, trying to stop the girl's crazy behavior.

But An Jiuxi slowly opened her eyes and gave him a serious look. "I know, and I have the ability."

Shi Wenfu was taken aback by the calmness in her eyes, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

"You're incredibly bold to draw lightning into your body."

After a long pause, Shi Wenfu finally murmured out these words.

Seeing the noise above growing louder, Shi Wenfu pursed his lips, grabbed the steward by the collar, and pulled him off the roof.

"Crack!"

A deafening roar of thunder followed, accompanied by a thick bolt of purple lightning!

It slammed into An Jiuxi's back through the protective shield.

As the purple lightning entered her body, the magic array beneath An Jiuxi shone even brighter.

She strained to open her eyes, her hands rapidly forming hand seals as she struck at the two people suspended in mid-air.

As the incantation gradually took shape, black lines appeared on the chests of both Jin Yize and Jiang Wan, pulling them towards each other.

"puff!"

An Jiuxi swayed slightly, but her hands, which were forming hand seals, never stopped.

She stared at the two slow-moving black lines, a surge of anger rising in her eyes. "You want to hit me? Get the hell out of here!"

An Jiuxi was truly angry, and she unleashed her purple lightning to strike the two of them.

The emanating black mist lessened, but Jin Yize suddenly went black and fainted.

The black light flashing from his chest grew stronger, and soon a cloud of black energy flew out, transforming into a centipede and roaring at An Jiuxi.

With the appearance of the centipede, a fishy, ​​foul smell filled the air.

Even the bystander, Shi Wenfu, couldn't help but set up a barrier around himself to prevent the smell from getting over there and causing headaches!

Butler Nian stared wide-eyed at the scene outside, trembling involuntarily. "Mr. Shi, will Madam be alright? Can't you go and help her?"

Shi Wenfu's sharp gaze was also fixed on the black centipede, and he shook his head helplessly when Steward Nian asked him.

"I can't help. Only if An Jiuxi disperses the centipede can I get through."

Butler Nian nervously watched the thin figure standing in the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel worried for An Jiuxi.

Inside the formation.

An Jiuxi looked at the centipede that had been forced out, sneered, and then quickly summoned lightning to envelop Jiang Wan and Jin Yize.

Only then did the black centipede realize her intention and suddenly rushed towards Jin Yize.

But it was caught off guard by the purple lightning and let out a wail in mid-air.

"Want to go back? Dream on!"

An Jiuxi flung the ebony pen at the black centipede, while her other hand guided purple lightning to strike the black centipede.

"Ow!"

The black centipede roared and easily knocked the ebony pen back.

With a nimble twist, the massive body dodged some of the purple lightning attacks.

However, a section of its body was still broken apart.

Seeing this, the black centipede roared in anger, its eyes gleaming with scarlet light as it charged fiercely towards An Jiuxi!

"Depend on!"

An Jiuxi caught the slapped ebony pen and, seeing the black centipede rushing towards her, deftly dodged it with a light touch of her toes.

But the black centipede had a backup plan; the tip of its tail stabbed straight at her heart!
