"It's you … evil spirit?"
Qin Shi's body trembled, and his eyes widened.
"Jie jie, little guy, I didn't expect that you would come to the Purgatory Tower so quickly.
On the other hand, I have to thank you for awakening this king. "
The evil spirit's voice reverberated in the totem, and then its tone suddenly changed, "Then … I will borrow your body!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a flood of energy suddenly exploded within Qin Shi's body. The Spiritual Energy that had been silent with great difficulty was awakened by the energy once again. It was eager to give it a try and burst forth.
"Ah!"
Qin Shi spat out a mouthful of blood, and he firmly clasped his left hand with his right hand. His slightly sharp nails fiercely cut the skin of his left arm. His whole body convulsed, and he fell on the altar, rolling around in pain.
"Shi Tou!"
Jade In The Book was startled. She couldn't hear the evil spirit's voice, and she anxiously hugged Qin Shi, "Shi Tou, what's wrong with you?
Why are you suddenly like this? "
"Ah …"
The tormented Qin Shi saw that the evil spirit totem had expanded to his chest, and its nine bloody eyes emitted a scarlet light.
He used his last bit of willpower to grab Jade In The Book's hand, and he tremblingly spat out a breath of cold air, "Sister Yu … Go … The evil spirit is waking up, go!"
"The evil spirit is waking up?"
Jade In The Book was shocked, and her beautiful eyes were full of anxiety. She shook her head, "I don't want to go … I don't want to go … How could this happen?
Wasn't I okay just now? "
"Don't ask … Go!
I can't control my body anymore. "
Qin Shi could feel that there was a spiritual power in his blood, like a spirit snake. It was slowly entering his sea of consciousness, and it was fighting with him for control of his body.
He knew that it must be the evil spirit, so he pushed Jade In The Book away, "Go!
I don't know what will happen when the evil spirit takes over my body. I beg you, go … I don't want you to get hurt! "
"No …"
Jade In The Book shook her head vigorously and held Qin Shi's arm tightly. She released all the spiritual power in her body and wrapped Qin Shi in a faint fluorescent light. "I don't want to go … I don't want to go … Please, don't drive me away … Even if I die, I'll die with you!"
"Sister Yu …"
Qin Shi was so shocked that he was speechless. He didn't say anything, because he knew that no matter what he said, Jade In The Book wouldn't leave. In the end, he smiled bitterly.
"Haha, what an ill-fated relationship. What ability do I, Qin Shi, have to actually make a beautiful woman as beautiful as a goddess like you risk your life for me?"
Qin Shi forced a smile and held Jade In The Book tightly with his right arm. "Won't you regret it?"
"I won't … As long as I can be with you, I won't."
At this moment, Jade In The Book was no longer playful like before. Her words were very serious and sincere, and they came from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Shi suddenly laughed wildly. Under the torture of pain, he showed a gratified expression. "Good, haha, I have Sister Yu in my life. What more can I ask for?
I, Qin Shi, have lived a worthwhile life! "
Jade In The Book nodded vigorously and didn't try to stop the evil spirit anymore. She just nestled in Qin Shi's arms. In this last moment of life and death, she could no longer hide the love in her heart.
She didn't have any expectations. She just wanted to stay by Qin Shi's side in this last moment.
"Sister Yu … Do you know?
I'm not afraid of death. I'm really not afraid. I'm just not willing … "Being eroded by the evil spirit, Qin Shi's consciousness became more and more fuzzy. He used the last bit of his consciousness to smile bitterly." I still have a lot of unavenged debts. The Burning Sky Sect is still at large … I still can't help Xue Xin find the blood-robed man. I'm not willing … I'm not willing! "
Silently listening to Qin Shi, Jade In The Book cried …
The two of them leaned against the altar on the tenth floor of the Purgatory Tower, silently waiting for death. There was no struggle, no panic, only a deep feeling of love.
Bang!
At this moment, a strange scene appeared. A dazzling golden light bloomed on the wall of the tenth floor. The strong light firmly wrapped the two of them, startling them.
"It's this golden light?"
Qin Shi suddenly quivered. He remembered this golden light. It was this golden light that saved him on the ninth floor.
Sure enough, under the cover of the golden light, the originally frenzied evil spirit suddenly calmed down. The restless spirit power was also forced back by the golden light, and Qin Shi's pain lessened a bit.
"We, we're saved?"
Qin Shi gasped for breath in doubt.
Jade In The Book was puzzled. Together with Qin Shi, she looked in the direction of the golden light.
"Screech!"
A sharp bird cry reverberated in the tenth floor of the Purgatory Tower. In the golden light, a shining golden phoenix flapped its beautiful wings, struggling to break free from the wall. It brightened the dark tenth floor of the Purgatory Tower.
"What, what is this big bird?"
Qin Shi squinted and looked at the dazzling golden phoenix in surprise.
"This is … a golden phoenix?" Jade In The Book raised her head, revealing a surprised expression.
Slightly doubtful, Qin Shi furrowed his brows and asked, "Sister Yu, what is this golden phoenix?"
"The golden phoenix is an ancient divine beast. It is an existence that can look down on a true dragon …"
While explaining, Jade In The Book piously clasped her hands in front of her chest. "Legend has it that when you see a golden phoenix, luck will descend. It is a divine beast that symbolizes auspiciousness."
"Look down on a true dragon?"
Qin Shi propped himself up. He didn't care about auspiciousness or not. His eyes were filled with curiosity. "Strange. Where did this golden phoenix come from?"
After making a wish in her heart, Jade In The Book suddenly opened her eyes wide. She clapped her hands and said, "I got it. This golden phoenix is a wild beast that was sealed on the tenth floor!"
"A wild beast that was sealed on the tenth floor?"
Qin Shi was stunned in his heart. Immediately, he felt that it was very possible. Previously, the Evil Demon Totem had started from the ninth layer and devoured the eight layers below it. However, it did not touch the tenth layer. Furthermore, the Desolate Beasts in the tenth layer did not surface at all.
Now that he mentioned it, it made sense.
"So, this golden phoenix saved us?" Qin Shi felt lucky, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
But at this moment, a beautiful and ethereal voice, like an oriole leaving the valley, suddenly reverberated in his mind. "Little guy, don't rejoice too early. I just suppressed the killing intent in your body … The power of the Heaven-devouring Demon Lord is not something we can contend against."
Hearing this, Qin Shi opened his eyes wide and looked at the golden phoenix. "Is, is that you talking?"
"Hehe, of course, it's me."
The sweet voice replied. The golden phoenix's cold eyes fixed on Qin Shi and Jade In The Book, who were helping each other and relying on each other. Her voice was soft and full of holy power. "I can't believe that after ten thousand years, I can see such sincere love again. There is no desire, no impurities …"
Qin Shi and Jade In The Book looked at each other lovingly, but they didn't say anything.
"Hehe, little guy, you've touched me. Now that I don't have long to live, I'll give you my Inner Elixir to help you." The golden phoenix screeched, shaking all ten floors.
In the next second, before Qin Shi could say anything, a golden ball of light suddenly came out of the golden phoenix's mouth. It was warm and gentle, and it slowly drifted toward the center of Qin Shi's eyebrows.
The golden ball of light entered Qin Shi's forehead, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably. Before he could regain his senses, the struggling roars of the demons came from his body. The spirit energy that was being devoured became restless, and in the end, it quietened down.
"The demon … The demon is asleep?"
"Little guy, the Sky-devouring Demon King is one of the two Great Kings. Fortunately, he is only a young spirit now. With my weak power, I can somewhat suppress him … But this suppression can only last for a year. If you can't find a way to suppress him within a year, the Sky-devouring Demon King will definitely appear again." The golden phoenix's voice sounded again, but it was getting weaker and weaker.
"A year …"
Qin Shi murmured to himself.
He was shocked by the golden phoenix's words. In his opinion, the golden phoenix was the most powerful expert he had ever met. Even Zhao Yan, Fufeng, and the mysterious person who took Luo Xuexian away were insignificant in front of the golden phoenix …
However, the golden phoenix actually called herself insignificant in front of the demon?
This demon … just where did it come from?
What were the two Great Kings of the Ancient Era?
Puzzles exploded in Qin Shi's mind.
However, he knew it was not the time to dwell on this matter. He quickly thanked the golden phoenix, "Senior … I'm so grateful for saving my life, but I can't repay you."
"Haha, little guy, don't thank me. Why don't you thank the lady next to you …"
The golden phoenix's body gradually faded. Finally, she turned to look at Jade In The Book and said, "Little girl, only you can fulfill your wish … Go ahead and do it!"
After that, the golden phoenix turned around and waved her sleeve at Qin Shi. A golden light shot into Qin Shi's body. She laughed and said, "Finally, I'll give you a big gift. Take your time to dig."
As soon as she finished speaking, the golden phoenix's body faded and became transparent. Finally, she disappeared from the tenth level of Purgatory Tower.
After the golden phoenix disappeared, the tenth level returned to the cold and boundless darkness. Only Qin Shi and Jade In The Book were left. Nothing seemed to have happened, but everything had changed.
Most importantly, both of them were still alive.
Qin Shi only recovered after a while. He touched his body and did not find anything strange. Soon after, he did not investigate any further. He bowed to the phoenix in front of him as a form of gratitude to the phoenix.
After that, he turned around and asked curiously, "Sister Yu, what did you wish for?
How did you move the golden phoenix? "
"Ah?"
Jade in the Book was startled, her small face flushed red, and she immediately waved her hand with all her might, "No, nothing."
"Nothing?" Qin Shi curled the corner of his mouth and laughed evilly. "Quickly tell me … what exactly is your wish?
Don't tell me you want to spend the rest of your life with your idol? "
"Stupid stone, go to hell —"
Qin Shi's words provoked a sharp roar from Jade In The Book.
The two of them fought and messed around on the tenth level. It was as if everything had returned to the beginning.
But only the two of them knew that they had experienced death twice in such a short time. That was why they cherished the days when they could fight and laugh.
Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, a golden light suddenly shone from the surface of Qin Shi's body. The boundless Spiritual Energy that was previously used by the Nefarious Demon was once again awakened and rose within his body.
But this time, the spiritual power was no longer wild. Instead, it was very amiable.
"What, what is going on?" Qin Shi blinked in confusion.
The Jade in the Book was stunned for a moment, and then it said excitedly, "I understand now. This is the last gift that the Golden Phoenix mentioned. It used its Inner Elixir to purify the violent spiritual power in your body … Shi Tou, quickly absorb it, it will be of great use to you."
Qin Shi rejoiced upon hearing that, and he grew excited as well.
One had to know that the Nefarious Demon had devoured the entire Purgatory Pagoda and the spiritual energy of tens of thousands of Desolate Beasts. Even though he could not control all of this spiritual energy, just absorbing a little, even if it was one ten-thousandth, would be a qualitative breakthrough for him.
Therefore, Qin Shi did not waste any more time. He sat cross-legged in the center of the altar and began to dilute the spiritual power in his body.
When Qin Shi fell into meditation, Jade In The Book blinked her beautiful eyes. She was full of love. She murmured, "Wish … I just want to be with you. We will always be together. We will be together in life and death. That's all."
