A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

The black cracks suddenly expanded, as if to devour the entire world.

A dark demon emerged from the darkness, clad in black armor, wielding a massive black scythe, and radiating a suffocating aura of darkness.

Behind him was a dark, swarming mass of evil forces, like locusts sweeping across the land, blotting out the sun.

Ye Shuli pieced together the last fragment of the artifact she found with the other fragments, and the fragments emitted a dazzling light, as if they were responding to each other.

The artifact fragments were pieced together, emitting a soft light, and floated in front of Ye Shuli.

"We've finally waited for this moment!" Ye Shuli took a deep breath, her gaze resolute.

Jiang Ye stood beside her, longsword in hand, his expression serious. "Lili, get ready to fight!"

The air around us seemed to freeze, and the tense atmosphere made it almost impossible to breathe.

Even the surrounding psionic energy began to fluctuate violently, as if trembling in anticipation of the impending great battle.

The Dark Demon General sneered, "Ye Shuli, you think you can defeat me by collecting all the artifact fragments? You're dreaming!"

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a black shadow and pounced on Ye Shuli.

The speed is astonishing.

"Lili, watch out!" Jiang Ye shouted.

Ye Shuli was prepared. She placed the divine artifact in front of her, and the artifact emitted a dazzling light, forming a barrier that blocked the attack of the Dark Demon General.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a powerful surge of psionic energy swept across the surroundings, sending sand and stones flying and trees collapsing.

The tribal chiefs and treasure hunters who were watching all retreated, shocked by the powerful force.

The tribal chief muttered to himself, "This...is this what a battle at the Spirit King level is like? It's terrifying!"

The treasure hunters were so frightened that their faces turned pale, secretly relieved that they hadn't been involved in the battle.

The battle between Ye Shuli and the Dark Demon General has entered a heated phase.

Ye Shuli barely managed to withstand the Dark Demon General's attack with the power of the divine artifact, but she was clearly at a disadvantage.

Each attack from the Dark Demon General felt like a mountain crashing down on her, and Ye Shuli felt as if her body was about to collapse under the weight.

"Lili, hang in there!" Jiang Ye shouted anxiously from the side.

He knew that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of the entire world.

Ye Shuli gritted her teeth; she knew she couldn't give up.

She will do everything in her power to protect this world and everything she cherishes.

Suddenly, the Dark Demon General's attack intensified. Ye Shuli was caught off guard and her arm was slashed by the Dark Demon General's scythe.

"Lili!" Jiang Ye's heart tightened upon seeing this.

Ye Shuli clutched her injured arm, blood trickling down between her fingers.

But she did not back down at all; instead, she gripped the divine weapon in her hand even more firmly.

"Is that all you've got?" Ye Shuli looked coldly at the Dark Demon General. "You're still a long way from defeating me!"

Enraged by Ye Shuli's tenacity, the Dark Demon roared to the sky, his dark aura growing even stronger.

"You're courting death!" The Dark Demon General once again swung his scythe, slashing fiercely at Ye Shuli.

At this critical moment...

"Stop!" A majestic voice descended from the sky.

A holy light pierced the sky, cutting through the thick darkness like a sharp sword.

The figure of the priest of light descended slowly, holding a scepter and surrounded by a warm glow, like a beacon in the darkness.

"Dark creatures, cease your arrogance!" The priest of light's voice was loud and powerful, each word seemingly carrying a purifying power, intimidating the evil forces present.

He unleashed his purification power once more, and beams of holy light rained down, dispelling the dark aura surrounding the Dark Demon General.

The Dark Demon let out a painful roar, feeling his power being gradually weakened.

"Now is the time!" Ye Shuli seized this rare opportunity, fusing the power of the artifact fragments with her own spiritual power and gathering it in her palm.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from her hand, as brilliant as the sun.

"Die!" Ye Shuli shouted, and without hesitation, she blasted the beam of light toward the Dark Demon General.

Caught off guard, the Dark Demon General was struck head-on by the light.

"Boom!" Another loud noise rang out, and the Dark Demon General's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Wuhu! Take off!" Jiang Ye excitedly waved his longsword and cheered for Ye Shuli.

The surrounding tribal warriors and believers of light also erupted in deafening cheers; they saw hope, they saw the dawn of victory.

Ye Shuli was not blinded by victory. She kept her eyes fixed on the Dark Demon General lying on the ground, not daring to relax for a moment.

At the same time, a complex emotion welled up inside me.

She sensed a powerful dark force within the artifact, a force that made her uneasy.

"Will this power... affect my relationship with Jiang Ye again?" Ye Shuli's mind flashed back to the scene of being controlled by dark forces, and she couldn't help but feel worried.

But she quickly suppressed her worries.

"No, this isn't the time to think about these things. I can't let the dark forces control me again. I must protect the relationship between Jiang Ye and me!" Ye Shuli told herself.

She took a deep breath, her eyes becoming even more determined.

She wanted to control this powerful force with her own will, rather than be controlled by it.

"Dark Demon General, today is your death day!" Ye Shuli's voice was cold and firm. She raised the divine weapon in her hand again, preparing to deliver the final blow to the Dark Demon General.

Just then, the Dark Demon slowly rose from the ground.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Hehe... Ye Shuli, do you think this is the end? The real game has only just begun!" The Dark Demon General's voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.

He raised his head, staring at Ye Shuli with malevolent eyes, and said, word by word, "You will witness with your own eyes the destruction of this world..."

"Lili, I'm here to help you!" Jiang Ye shouted, shooting towards the flank of the Dark Demon General like an arrow released from a bow.

He wielded his longsword with great skill, the sword energy crisscrossing, each move aimed directly at the Dark Demon General's vitals.

The tribal chief was no pushover either. He led his warriors, charging into the enemy ranks like tigers descending a mountain. Their weapons clashed with those of the dark forces, producing a deafening metallic clang.

"Brothers, give them a good beating! Today we'll show these dark scum what we're made of!" The tribal chief's roar, like a war drum, spurred the morale of the tribal warriors.

In an instant, the battlefield was filled with deafening shouts of battle, and the sounds of psychic energy colliding and exploding echoed one after another, creating utter chaos.

Jiang Ye moved across the battlefield like a ghost, his longsword like the scythe of death, reaping the lives of his enemies.

"Jiang Ye, you're something else! I didn't expect you to have some skills!" The tribal chief gave Jiang Ye a thumbs up while brandishing his giant axe.

Jiang Ye smiled smugly, "Of course! Don't you know who I am? I'm Li Li's personal knight!"

However, just as Jiang Ye was getting carried away with his success, a dark soldier seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and stabbed Jiang Ye in the shoulder with his sword.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli was extremely anxious upon seeing this.

She suddenly channeled the power of the divine artifact in her hand into Jiang Ye's body to heal him.

"I'm fine, Lili, you don't need to worry about me!" Jiang Ye said, enduring the pain.

"Shut up! Focus on healing your injuries!" Ye Shuli's tone was full of concern.

Feeling Ye Shuli's concern, Jiang Ye felt a warmth in his heart. He held Ye Shuli's hand tightly.

"Lili, I love you!" Jiang Ye said affectionately.

"I love you too!" Ye Shuli's eyes were also filled with tenderness.

The surrounding psychic energy seemed to sense the intense love between them, becoming gentle and warm.

Suddenly, an even more powerful dark force erupted from the Dark Demon General's body. He roared to the sky, his voice filled with anger and resentment.

"Ye Shuli, Jiang Ye, you both deserve to die!" the Dark Demon General roared.

He swung his black scythe again and slashed it down fiercely at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

"Lili, be careful!" Jiang Ye pushed Ye Shuli away, but he himself took the full force of the Dark Demon General's attack.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli cried out in anguish.

The Dark Demon General's scythe pierced deeply into Jiang Ye's body, and blood gushed out.

"Jiang Ye..." Ye Shuli reached out her hand, trembling, wanting to touch Jiang Ye, but not daring to.

Jiang Ye's face showed a pained expression, but he held Ye Shuli's hand tightly.

"Lili, I...I'm afraid..." Jiang Ye's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"No! You'll be alright! I won't let anything happen to you!" Tears welled up in Ye Shuli's eyes.

She suddenly unleashed all the spiritual power within her body, and an unprecedentedly powerful force surged forth, enveloping her and Jiang Ye.

"Ah!" Ye Shuli roared, her voice filled with grief, indignation, and determination.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.

"Dark Demon General, I want you dead!" Ye Shuli's voice was icy and chilling, like the Grim Reaper from hell.

She slowly raised the divine weapon in her hand.

"Lili, be careful..." Jiang Ye said with his last bit of strength.

Ye Shuli's body erupted with dazzling light, and the fragments of the divine artifact spun wildly in her hands, the buzzing sound deafening, as if celebrating its complete return.

The artifact spirit materialized from the fragments, appearing as an adorable little boy with a voice that was both childish and undeniably authoritative: "Whoever gathers all the fragments, with your blood, will sacrifice my soul to initiate—the Awakening Ritual!"

Without hesitation, Ye Shuli bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the divine artifact.

The blood droplet was instantly absorbed, the artifact shone brightly, and a primordial power surged into her body.

She felt as if her internal organs were being reshaped, her bones and meridians were being expanded infinitely, and her spiritual power was like a surging river, flowing endlessly.

"Ah—" Ye Shuli roared to the sky, the sound waves distorting and deforming the space itself.

Her eyes blazed as she stared directly at the Dark Demon General, a bloodthirsty smile playing on her lips: "It's your turn to perform!"

The divine artifact's light instantly enveloped the dark demon general.

The once arrogant and domineering demonic energy melted away inch by inch, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

The Dark Demon let out a shrill scream, and under the purification of the Holy Light, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished completely.

"The Demon General is dead!"

"Run!"

The evil forces collapsed instantly, abandoning their armor and weapons, and scattered in all directions.

The tribal warriors, their morale soaring, roared and relentlessly pursued the remaining enemy troops, while the priests of light gently cast healing spells, their holy light illuminating the earth.

"Whoosh! We won!" Jiang Ye jumped up and excitedly high-fived the tribal chief.

Ye Shuli slowly descended, and the fragments of the divine artifact transformed back into a beam of light, merging into her body.

She felt more powerful than ever before, as if the whole world was in her hands.

But at the same time, an unknown force was stirring within her, as if some deeper secret was about to be revealed.

The air was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster; cheers and shouts echoed endlessly.

Ye Shuli smiled wearily, looked at Jiang Ye, and her eyes sparkled with love like starlight.

“It’s over…” Jiang Ye walked to her side and held her hand tightly. “It’s all over.”

Ye Shuli shook her head, feeling that things weren't so simple. She looked up at the sky.

"No, Jiang Ye, can't you feel it..." Suddenly, Ye Shuli's expression changed, and she pushed Jiang Ye away, exclaiming, "Watch out!"
