Qin Ruolan hurriedly dodged, but the flames did not disappear; instead, they grew even stronger.

It started burning from her hair upwards.

Her nails became sharp, and Qin Ruolan tried to reach out and tear off her hair. However, when she touched her hair, an indescribable heat spread up her hair and up her hand.

"Ah-"

She bared her teeth.

Jing Li turned her hand behind her back and with a gentle flick, cut off Qin Ruolan's hair.

"You can't beat them, so you don't need to help." Her face was expressionless.

Waving the bamboo flute, he exudes a powerful, piercing aura.

That absolute sense of oppression seemed to have disappeared again, and Qin Ruolan couldn't figure out the person's current situation.

But during the conversation, she received some surprising news.

Calamity!

She knew the rumors after she became a ghost.

Although they are a ghost clan and submit to Yama, their true leader is E Xing. Yama can be said to be the leader that humans found among these ghosts to keep in check.

Because their true leader hasn't appeared for millennia.

The demon race has always been regarded as an evil force.

Without proper regulations, the world would have long been in chaos.

If a true calamity star were to appear in the world, they would all subdue it, for the calamity star would be their origin, their demon king! They absolutely need an object of submission.

The girl she was always following, the girl who possessed divine qualities, was their Demon King!

This situation is clearly developing in a very wrong direction.

The Ghost King is malevolent and bloodthirsty, while the young girl is more indifferent and casual.

There wasn't a trace of the Ghost King to be found, except for the fleeting sense of oppression that had just passed by...

......

......

The formation was still in operation, and all the white mist was surging towards Jing Li's direction.

You Wenxi was in the middle, handling things with ease; the white mist seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

He strolled leisurely. "Junior sister, do you know how long it took me to find this formation?"

"Hahaha, even if you think it's full of loopholes, you still can't break the formation."

He would occasionally dart up behind Jing Li, who would then swing his bamboo flute across his back without any mercy.

However, the moment the sword struck You Wenxi's body, his figure vanished.

It turned into white mist.

The next second, he appeared somewhere else.

“Junior sister, formations only kill evil spirits, I am not one of them.” You Wenxi smiled dangerously.

The formation for slaying the evil star was something he had found with great difficulty. If an ordinary person could find the trick to this formation, they could break it quickly. But if it was a ghost king or an evil spirit, even if she knew how to break it, she would be helpless.

Once the formation is locked, no evil spirits can break it.

This is the most fundamental law. Evil cannot be broken.

Unless, death.

The white mist pressed in, concealing countless knives within. Jing Li resisted with her bamboo flute, while Qin Ruolan had already hidden inside the space Jing Li carried.

Within this formation, she felt as if her entire body was burning.

Not long after, Jing Li was stabbed.

She tried to use herself to create an array to resist, but found that all the spiritual energy she channeled within it would disappear.

She frowned, her expression showing some surprise.

You Wenxi seemed to sense her emotions and became even more smug. "Junior sister, you have absolutely no chance of setting up an array in this formation."

He had already thought of this problem. He had to be wary of his junior sister's formation, but he also needed Tian Du to be on his side. Once the formation here was implemented, it would never allow another formation to form in the middle of it.

The array that destroyed the evil star was so powerful that even he was amazed.

......

Jing Li's expression was indifferent, and she placed her hands in front of her chest.

The bamboo flute stood in front of her in a protective posture.

She took out the jade pendant left by her master. When You Wenxi saw the jade pendant, the murderous intent in his eyes became even more obvious.

That biased old man, he'll definitely make sure your most beloved disciple dies!

The bamboo flute emitted a pale green light, and white mist enveloped it once again.

Countless knives rushed towards Jing Li from all directions.

Jing Li absorbed the spiritual power from the jade pendant, silently chanted an incantation, and with lightning speed withdrew the bamboo flute, which spun around once before slashing out.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

The aftershocks left a long trail.

The area it struck automatically reassembled, rendering it completely useless.

The blades grew faster and faster, and her body seemed to freeze, her movements becoming sluggish. She tried to leap out, but ultimately could not withstand the attack of several blades formed from white mist.

"puff--"

Jing Li's back was slashed, and bright red blood flowed out.

Upon closer inspection, the bone was visible.

She rolled over on the ground in a disheveled state.

A flash of red light passed through her eyes as she suppressed the surging power within her body.

"Aren't you going to make a move?" The voice whispered in Jing Li's ear.

Jing Li forced a smile, "That's all you thought of coming out of here?"

“This formation is meant to kill us. If I die, you will die too. We are one.”

"If you bring out the Ancient Mirror of Boundaries, we can be reborn together." The voice was full of temptation.

Jing Li wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Before she could react, various weapons from the white mist attacked her again.

She dodged left and right, and several more glaring wounds appeared on her body.

Suddenly, all the swords and blades vanished, replaced by a faint purple light emanating from the white mist.

Tiny, indistinct purple lightning crackled and hissed.

Jing Li's eyes were wary. This lightning was small, but it was completely different from the usual kind. The power it contained was perhaps a thousand times, ten thousand times greater.

This formation is indeed a good thing.

What exactly is the array's core element used in this formation...?

The voice began to sound urgent, "Do you really want to die?"

Jing Li said coldly, "This is aimed at you."

"I am you!" the voice emphasized again.

"Heh, this is a formation to deal with evil stars. Your appearance will only increase its restrictions on you."

"Do you want to die?!" The voice was unwilling, and seemed to have also sensed the danger here.

This formation...

There was something that made her very uncomfortable, a combination of positive and negative. She was the negative one, and the positive one was indeed disgusting.

Jing Li raised the bamboo flute again. "I don't want to die, but I won't let you out either."

The voice was shrill, "You're a madman."

The formation is difficult to break, but it is not impossible to break.

Jing Li found the key location, but as the Calamity Star, she couldn't leave.

Then she, as an ordinary person, could go out.

She took out the jade pendant and the green branch, absorbing all the power within them. The formation attacked her because it could detect the aura of evil spirits on her.

She would use all her spiritual power to conceal her aura.

All the spiritual energy was absorbed, and a faint green hue enveloped her.

The thing that was chasing her vanished in an instant.

The white mist dissipated, leaving only You Wenxi sitting there, staring at him.

He seemed to have anticipated this outcome.

It seems like they've been waiting for Jing Li all along.
