She was now filled with malice toward the living, and it wasn't just directed at Beichuan Si alone. Instead of still being the Four Directions Huixue who pursued immortality, she had become a vengeful spirit that desired only to torment the living, though unlike other vengeful spirits, she retained the intelligence of a normal human.

And she had always hidden her ability to gather malicious energy for attack, waiting for this very moment.

No longer did she look at the body of Beichuan Si, who had died. Instead, she turned her head toward Shenzhu Shihui, Magong Yongshi, and the other good spirits with a twisted smile on her lips, "No matter what Beichuan was scheming, or what he was thinking about, he is dead now! I won! Beichuan!"

Yes! She had finally won!

For all the time since seeing Beichuan Si, she had finally won once!

The Elixir of Life, the Moon Obscuring Mirror, the Moon Gazing Mirror... She had lost every single time.

But this last time! She had won! Beichuan Si had fallen to her hand!

Her contorted body began to move again, and she said coldly, "Although I'm especially vulnerable after using the power of the Yellow Springs Evil to protect myself... Now that Beichuan is dead and unable to use that dagger, you have no means to confront me at all."

A brutal, blood-curdling whisper followed, "I'm going to twist off your heads... crush your Spiritual Bodies, I want to..."

The more she said this, the more she felt there was something amiss about the atmosphere.

Neither the good spirits in front of her nor the Four Directions Huixue below seemed to be afraid at all. Instead, they looked at her with odd expressions.

What was going on?

Beichuan Si was dead, and yet they hadn't even cried out, just looking at her with queer expressions.

"Why aren't you afraid of me?!" she snarled.

This scene, which felt all too familiar, still got no response, as everyone continued to look at her in silence.

A sense of unease swept over her, and she forcefully opened her mouth:

"I am a Calamity Spirit!!! I can kill all of you!"

Still, no one spoke.

An ominous silence spread through the air, unsettling to any spirit.

Just as she was about to kill a good spirit right then, she suddenly realized.

These good spirits weren't looking at her.

They were looking... behind her?

But there was nothing behind her, except for the body of Beichuan Si—

Wait!

Another Four Directions Huixue finally thought of something.

Just at the moment when she had bisected Beichuan Si, she hadn't seen his Spiritual Body disperse.

Which meant—

Her feet shifted, and she started to crawl away quickly.

But then!

Someone grabbed her foot.

At the same time, a chilling, sibilant whisper rose from behind her.

"You're right, let's do to you just as you said."

An indescribable force came from her lower half, and her entire body was yanked upward.

Under these conditions, she finally saw what was behind her.

Beichuan Si, who had been cleaved in half, lying on the ground, had now stood up again.

He still had that cold expression.

"How is this possible! You were supposed to be dead, Beichuan!!!"

She struggled violently, but because she had previously used the power of the Yellow Springs Evil, she was now extremely weak, and even the arm hitting Beichuan Si's back did not cause any change in his expression.

Beichuan Si didn't pay attention to her questions, and the Jian Ding in his hand, too, was flickering with a grim light.

Looking at Beichuan Si's emotionless eyes and movements, the Calamity Spirit finally couldn't help but shiver.

Fear and powerlessness swept through her cruel heart.

An unknown terror clung to her.

Like a bone-eating fear, it deprived her of the strength to resist.

The surroundings were deadly silent, except for her shrill screams—

Nothing else could be heard.

...

The Calamity Spirit dissipated like this.

Everyone but Nishijou Kurenai, who had her eyes and ears covered, including Magong Yongshi, Shenzhu Shihui, and Four Directions Huixue, saw it all very clearly.

Jian Ding kept his body rigid.

Beichuan Si swung his great hammer, once, then again, and yet again, smashing the entity into a pulp.

In order to ensure the adversary's death, they had Four Directions Huixue use Moonlight to cleanse the remains once more, and then Beichuan Si scattered some Resident Fire. One could say that the body was beyond recognition.

The soul-wrenching screams made everyone listening shiver uncontrollably.

But that's precisely what Beichuan Si did.

After all, when the adversary attacked Nishijou Kurenai, they must have anticipated such a moment.

If that's the case, then they shouldn't blame him for showing no mercy.

Beichuan Si exhaled and reached down to take the straw doll from his waist.

If you looked closely, you could clearly see that the doll from the waist down had already been cut in two by something.

This was the Voodoo Doll that the system had rewarded him a long time ago.

In fact, Beichuan Si had anticipated that another Four Directions Huixue would retain rationality. After all, as a centuries-old grudge of the Four Directions Family and the unique power of the Yellow Springs Evil, it was natural for the adversary to retain intelligence.

Thus, Beichuan Si had been carrying the decoy doll, which had been rewarded by the system long before, on him at all times.

In reality, he had exposed his vulnerability as soon as he was first hit, but the other Four Directions Huixue was excessively cautious.

Having been tricked by him many times, it didn't act rashly until it was absolutely certain.

However, as Beichuan Si repeatedly exposed weaknesses, it finally couldn't restrain itself.

And this lapse in restraint led to its ultimate demise.

After all, Beichuan Si had an item to cheat death, which even the Calamity Spirit might not have guessed.

Although the doll had taken his place in death, to be honest, the sensation of dying was still there.

The feeling of your insides pouring out, your body growing cold...

As Beichuan Si contemplated these things, Magong Yongshi floated over, her slender brows deeply furrowed:

"I knew you had tools like the Voodoo Doll, Mr. Temple, but I still can't accept it! I hope you'll avoid doing such dangerous things!"

This was the first time Magong Yongshi had ever been so angry with Beichuan Si.

Based on past experiences, no matter what Beichuan Si did, she would never get angry.

"Given the circumstances at the time, only after I 'feigned death' and the adversary let down their guard could we seize the opportunity to strike more effectively..."

Beichuan Si started to explain in a calm voice, but before he could finish, Magong Yongshi reached out and pinched his mouth, a dark smile on her face: "Even though what you're saying is all true, Mr. Temple, I don't know why, but I'm still angry... No, actually I think I'm even angrier now..."

Beichuan Si blinked expressionlessly, clearly unconcerned with Magong Yongshi's words.

Magong Yongshi got even angrier at Beichuan Si's lack of concern.

She simply turned her head to her sister, who was floating nearby playing with her phone: "Sister! Please say something to Mr. Temple!"

"Um..."

Shenzhu Shihui turned her head to look at Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si also silently watched Shenzhu Shihui.

Silence—

After staring at Beichuan Si for quite a while, Shenzhu Shihui shrank back, stuttering with a nervous chuckle, "Beichuan, Beichuan probably has his own thoughts, right, Yongshi? Women should stand silently behind men."

Truthfully, I'm afraid of getting hit by Beichuan.

Shenzhu Shihui quietly added in her heart.

Upon hearing such a perspective from Shenzhu Shihui, even Magong Yongshi blinked in surprise.

Was this something her sister, who was always glued to her phone, would say?

She pondered for a moment, then nodded with furrowed brows:

"...What you said isn't without reason, sister, but I'm still worried about Mr. Temple."

"Regardless, the matter with the Calamity Spirit has been satisfactorily resolved."

Beichuan Si casually stated, bypassing the topic.

Yes, the issue with the Calamity Spirit was fully settled.

What remained was...

Beichuan Si's gaze flickered as he looked at his system tasks.
