Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Freed from its restraints, the black mist seemed to be reborn, suddenly sprouting countless terrifying tentacles once more.

These tentacles swept towards the group with lightning speed, carrying a fierce aura and the threat of death.

Faced with this sudden attack, everyone panicked and hurriedly tried to dodge.

Despite their quick reflexes, two unfortunate individuals were unable to escape their fate.

The terrifying tentacles pierced their chests with lightning speed, blood splattering everywhere, a bloody and horrifying scene.

The two people, whose bodies were pierced by the monster's tentacles, began to rot at an unimaginable speed.

In the blink of an eye, the muscles, internal organs, and other tissues dissolved and disintegrated rapidly, as if corroded by strong acid, leaving only two pale skeletons lying alone on the ground, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Witnessing such a horrific scene, everyone's hearts tightened, and they involuntarily gasped.

Fear surged through them like a tidal wave, everyone's face turned ashen, and their hearts were filled with indescribable shock.

After successfully capturing the monster, it clearly grew stronger.

The originally thin black mist has become increasingly dense, as if it is condensing into some kind of substantial existence, bringing a greater sense of oppression.

Just then, Shen Qingyao watched helplessly as a ferocious tentacle lunged at her.

Despite the danger, she remained calm, quickly forming hand seals and simultaneously drawing a gleaming copper coin sword from her waist.

With unwavering determination, she swung her sword without hesitation, fiercely slashing at the incoming tentacles.

With a crisp 'crack', the severed tentacle fell to the ground.

Surprisingly, the severed tentacle transformed into a dense cloud of yin energy the moment it touched the ground, dissipating into the air like smoke and disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, after narrowly avoiding the tentacles' attack, Si Jingnian's gaze immediately fell on Shen Qingyao.

When I saw that she was safe and sound, my tense heart finally relaxed a little, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just then, Ruan Hongshuang stared intently ahead and saw Shen Qingyao wielding the copper coin sword, swinging it swiftly and decisively towards the monster.

With a flash of cold light, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and one of the monster's thick tentacles snapped off, spurting out a stream of dark green liquid from the break.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ruan Hongshuang did not hesitate and quickly reached into her backpack, tightly gripping the peach wood sword.

With a flick of her wrist, the peach wood sword drew a graceful arc in the air, slashing fiercely at the other tentacle that was rushing towards her with a whooshing sound.

Encouraged by this, the people around them began to follow suit.

Some raised their longswords, some brandished their whips, and others threw out various magical weapons. In an instant, light flashed and energy overflowed as everyone worked together to launch a fierce attack on the endless stream of tentacles.

After a fierce battle, several tentacles on the monster's body had been successfully severed.

As these tentacles fell, the black mist that had been permeating the surroundings began to thin out, and the number of tentacles formed from yin energy also decreased significantly.

"Senior Sister! This monster's tentacles are all formed from yin energy. We must find a way to dispel its yin energy!"

As Shen Qingyao swung her sword and severed another approaching tentacle, she shouted loudly at Ruan Hongshuang.

Before she finished speaking, she moved with lightning speed, her figure like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Si Jingnian. With a swift stroke of her sword, she cleaved the tentacle that was about to attack him in two.

Then, she rushed back to Ruan Hongshuang's side like lightning.

Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's reminder, Ruan Hongshuang immediately understood.

Without hesitation, she severed another tentacle that was within reach, and then swiftly hid behind Shen Qingyao.

She rapidly formed a series of complex hand seals while chanting incantations, and an obscure and difficult-to-understand spell flowed from her lips.

"Heaven and earth are bright and clear; divine punishment is without evil, and the righteous path endures forever! The art of cleansing the soul and purifying the spirit washes away the filth of the world; the power to exterminate all ghosts sweeps away evil spirits and demons! So be it, by the law!"

As Ruan Hongshuang's clear and solemn incantation slowly faded, her originally fair and jade-like hands suddenly burst forth with countless dazzling golden rays of light.

These rays of light streaked across the void like meteors, carrying an incomparably sharp momentum as they shone directly towards the dense, seemingly impenetrable black mist ahead.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze. From within the black mist shrouded in golden light, another chilling, piercing scream rang out.

The voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with pain and despair.

As the screams echoed around, the originally pitch-black mist began to dissipate at a visible speed.

At that moment, the terrifying monster was too preoccupied to launch any further attacks on the people.

All of its tentacles suddenly retracted at an astonishing speed, disappearing into its body as quickly as a startled snake.

At the same time, the black mist that had been spreading all around seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, and began to rapidly gather and condense, eventually forming a huge and dense black mist that floated quietly in mid-air.

Shen Qingyao, who had been keeping a close eye on the monster's every move, keenly sensed its attempt to escape.

Without hesitation, she reached into the cloth bag she carried with her and quickly pulled out several talismans that emitted a faint spiritual light.

Immediately afterwards, her hands moved nimbly, forming complex and mysterious hand seals, while she chanted incantations, and an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation poured out from her lips.

As the incantation rang out, the talismans seemed to come alive, transforming into streaks of light that sped toward the monster and landed precisely in every direction the monster might try to escape, completely blocking its retreat.

As expected, just as Shen Qingyao had predicted, the monster made a move as soon as her spells finished surrounding it.

It swayed and was about to rush towards one of the gaps, but unfortunately, its plan failed.

Just as it was about to escape, it crashed headfirst into the talisman set up by Shen Qingyao.

Upon impact, the monster seemed to have struck an indestructible and invisible wall. Not only did it fail to break through the barrier and escape, it was instead violently bounced back by the powerful reaction force.

As a golden light flashed, the monster let out a piercing scream that sent chills down everyone's spine.
