As soon as Chen Hao jumped into the air and began to struggle in agony, the butterflies that had been fleeing in all directions abruptly halted their flight. They then split into countless invisible insects that gathered to form a Daffodil Demon.
"Humph!" sneered the Daffodil Demon, looking back and laughing loudly, "Why don't you keep swinging your blade? It seems like it doesn't listen to you very well!"
At this moment, Chen Hao's thoughts were mired in extreme psychic torment, his mind haunted by a succession of terrifying faces and pierced by all sorts of strange, grating noises.
"Boyfriend, boyfriend..."
Amidst the faint echoes, Chen Hao heard Ye Yuqiao's warm and familiar voice. However, before he could fully hear what Ye Yuqiao was saying, his mind was overwhelmed by a shrill, piercing scream that bombarded him.
Chen Hao felt excruciating pain, and wanted to discard the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in his hand, but found he could not let go. He then realized it was not he who was controlling the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, but the blade that was controlling him.
"Ahh!" Chen Hao let out a loud scream, frantically swinging the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade like a madman.
Startled, the Daffodil Demon darted hundreds of miles away; it did not want to risk being injured by the sword qi of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, which seemed to be rampaging through the air.
"Bang bang bang!" Multiple explosion-like sounds erupted as the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade's sword qi shattered the ground.
After two minutes, Chen Hao, utterly exhausted, fell from the sky to the ground, where the sea of flowers was now unrecognizable, having been ravaged by the frenzied and indiscriminate bombardment of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade's sword qi.
"Ugh!" After hitting the ground, Chen Hao let out a hoarse groan of agony as his spirit continued to endure the ravaging and torment by the Blade Soul of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade. The evil aura from the blade had infiltrated his hand and was gradually devouring his Yin Soul.
At this point, the Daffodil Demon, hundreds of meters away in the courtyard, returned to a spot not far from Chen Hao. Looking down at the groaning, painfully writhing Chen Hao, it sneered, "You should thank me later! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have got rid of the pain so quickly!"
Having said that, the Daffodil Demon bellowed, and a torrent of crimson Magic Power burst forth from within her, surging toward Chen Hao who wasn't far in front.
"Goodbye!" the Daffodil Demon said with a cold laugh, watching Chen Hao. Once her Magic Power hit Chen Hao's Yin Soul, his Yin Soul would be utterly obliterated.
Just then, a black-purple crack suddenly appeared in the air above Chen Hao's head. Ye Yuqiao emerged from the crack and landed beside Chen Hao.
Ye Yuqiao, who had been heartbroken to see Chen Hao endure the torment of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, had long wanted to come out of the Nether Acupoint to rescue him. But because Chen Hao was wildly swinging the blade, she feared she would be hurt by it. If Chen Hao found out that he had harmed her, he would feel guilty for a long time.
Therefore, Ye Yuqiao could only endure the agony inside the Nether Acupoint, until Chen Hao stopped swinging the blade due to exhaustion.
Upon emerging from the Nether Acupoint, Ye Yuqiao immediately froze the onslaught of the crimson Magic Power with the Nether King's Power.
Seeing her Magic Power frozen by a mysterious force that felt eerily familiar, and that mysterious force attacking her irresistibly, the Daffodil Demon stepped back dozens of meters to avoid the rapidly spreading freeze.
"Boyfriend!" Ye Yuqiao turned to look at Chen Hao beside her. The despair and helplessness in his eyes deeply pained her. Then, bending over, she snatched the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade from Chen Hao's hand.
Upon gripping the handle of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, Ye Yuqiao felt an icy current rush into her body—that was the sword qi of the blade.
Ye Yuqiao snorted coldly and infused the Nether King's Power into the blade. Instantly, the icy current receded from inside her and the evil aura surrounding the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade also vanished.
The Blade Soul and the residual evil aura on the blade were subdued by Ye Yuqiao, yielding to her authority. The purple glow on the blade's surface turned black.
Suddenly, the Daffodil Demon reappeared in front of Ye Yuqiao. Witnessing the transformation of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in Ye Yuqiao's hands climbing to a new level, she was shocked and queried, "Who are you really? Why does this blade obey you?"
Ye Yuqiao harrumphed coldly, her eyes filled with an icy murderous intent and dignity. However, inwardly, she was frantically calling out to Chen Hao, "Boyfriend, snap out of it! My Nether King's Power is quickly depleting; I can barely suppress the Blade Soul any longer!"
After a long pause, seeing that Ye Yuqiao had no reaction, a suspicious look flashed across the Daffodil Demon's brow, as if it sensed something amiss.
"You're not planning to kill me?" the Daffodil Demon asked.
Ye Yuqiao still didn't respond, her expression remaining stern.
The Daffodil Demon's brow was furrowed with confusion; she couldn't understand whether Ye Yuqiao was waiting for her to make a move, or had other plans in mind.
Before long, the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in Ye Yuqiao's hand began to quiver, and the vibrations grew progressively more violent. The evil aura she had initially subdued began to seep out from the blade once again.
Seeing this, the Daffodil Demon's tense face relaxed, and it mocked, "So that's why you haven't attacked. It turns out you can't control this blade and have been pretending all along in front of me!"
With that, the Daffodil Demon leaped forward, her entire body radiating crimson Magic Power.
Ye Yuqiao frowned, raising the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in her hand, and with the last of the Nether King's Power within her, she swung the blade.
A beam of black light appeared in the air, accompanied by the shrill howl of blade energy, that whipped up several fierce windstorms within a radius of a hundred meters.
Seeing the tide turning against her, the Daffodil Flower Demon was startled, and just as she was about to flee, the beam of black light had already pierced through her body. In an instant, her body was eradicated by the blade energy, leaving not a trace behind.
After eliminating the Daffodil Flower Demon, Ye Yuqiao immediately plunged the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade into the soil, withdrawing her hand from the hilt before the Blade Soul and demonic energy on the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade could invade her body.
She had just heaved a sigh of relief when she saw, to her left, a group of butterflies split into countless Invisibility Bugs again, which then formed into a new Daffodil Flower Demon.
"Humph, you're finished, aren't you?" Opening her eyes, the Daffodil Flower Demon sneered at Ye Yuqiao, "Let's see how you'll defend against me now?"
This time, the Daffodil Flower Demon no longer charged recklessly, worried that Ye Yuqiao would raise the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade again. Although it could still resurrect itself through the division of butterflies into Invisibility Bugs, just tonight alone, more than half of the butterflies in the sea of flowers had been destroyed, and it had lost over half of its magic power as a result.
So, the Daffodil Flower Demon commanded the hidden butterflies around to split into Invisibility Bugs and swarm Ye Yuqiao.
Although she couldn't see the Invisibility Bugs, Ye Yuqiao could tell that countless of them were closing in on her by observing the uniform movements of a group of butterflies not far away.
"Hahaha!" The Daffodil Flower Demon suddenly burst into loud laughter, seeing the Invisibility Bugs already converging underfoot, ready to invade Ye Yuqiao's body.
Ye Yuqiao's brow was furrowed as she felt somewhat at a loss in the face of the situation.
Suddenly, a warm hand landed gently yet firmly on Ye Yuqiao's shoulder, followed by a familiar voice drifting into her ears:
"Yuqiao, I'm sorry for making you worry!"
Instantly, Ye Yuqiao's eyes brimmed with tears, and the panic in her heart settled. She knew that as long as Chen Hao was there, she would be fine. She turned to look at Chen Hao, whose face still bore the clear traces of anguish, making him seem somewhat weak.
"Boyfriend, are you alright?"
Suddenly, a beam of light shot from Chen Hao's eyes, and he shook his head with a determined look, "As long as you're okay, I'm okay too!"
No sooner had he spoken than a purple flame shot out from Chen Hao's left eye, incinerating the Invisibility Bugs around them.
"I didn't expect you to have such resilience!" the Daffodil Flower Demon chuckled. In her view, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao in front of her were no longer a threat and not worth fearing.
After glaring at the Daffodil Flower Demon, Chen Hao wrapped his arms around Ye Yuqiao's waist from behind and rested his chin wearily on Ye Yuqiao's left shoulder, "Girlfriend, let's join forces against this Daffodil Flower Demon today!"
"Mhm!" Ye Yuqiao chuckled lightly, raising her left hand to caress Chen Hao's cheek, "It's always been you standing in front before, but today we finally face and fight against the enemy together."
After kissing Ye Yuqiao's cheek, Chen Hao said, "I'm going to transfer the three strands of Nether King's Power from my left eye into your body now, for you to control the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade."
"Okay!" Ye Yuqiao replied, "I'm ready!"
Chen Hao closed his eyes and looked towards the Nether King Orchid Heart in his left eye, prompting the three strands of Nether King's Power flowing through the Nether King Orchid Heart to enter his bloodstream, then from his blood into Ye Yuqiao's body.
Since the three strands of Nether King's Power were strong and could not remain for long in Ye Yuqiao's Yang Spirit body without causing her harm, as soon as she felt the three strands enter her body, Ye Yuqiao immediately reached out with her left hand to grasp the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade that was plunged into the soil in front of her, channeling the three strands of Nether King's Power into the blade.
The black light appeared on the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade once again.
Ye Yuqiao also grabbed the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade with her right hand, pointing the tip toward the ground.
In her eyes, there was an unstoppable domineering aura.
"Boyfriend, I'm about to make my move!"
"Mhm!"
With a loud shout, Ye Yuqiao thrust the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade into the soil, and a surge of tumultuous blade energy spread out like a terrifying tidal wave.
"Huhuhuhu!" The roaring blade energy wreaked havoc in all directions. Wherever it passed, nothing was left alive.
After the roar of the blade energy fell silent, all the flowers and butterflies in the sea of flowers had vanished, leaving behind nothing but a barren wasteland.
Seeing this, the Daffodil Flower Demon, who had flown into the air to avoid the blade energy, showed a look of despair.
Without the butterflies, it meant that it could no longer be resurrected, and all the magic power it had cultivated over many years was gone.
