Chapter 1158: Reunion with Li Lingjing

Li Luo was absolutely shocked when he saw Li Lingjing. Perhaps due to the fact that half of her face was covered by the Aquamarine Python mask, she seemed almost enchanting at this moment, beautiful with a hint of mystique.

However, it was the same old familiar pair of eyes looking back at him. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"W-Why are you here?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

Li Lingjing thought about it for a moment. She then replied with a smile, "Clearly, I am here on a mission."

Li Luo understood what she meant. "Are you part of the Murderous Ghost Horde?"

Li Lingjing nodded. "You can say that."

He stared at her with a complex look. He never expected his reunion with Li Lingjing to happen under such circumstances. She had completely changed sides now. Based just on that, they were supposed to be mortal enemies right now.

Li Lingjing looked back at Li Luo's perplexed gaze, then she told him frankly, "Li Luo, you've known about it all along. I am no kind soul."

Li Luo replied softly, "Cousin Lingjing, that is just because of the incident back then. I believe that the heroic girl of the Western Region still lives within you. You are still kinder than anyone else."

Li Lingjing was a little taken aback. She kept quiet for a moment before she answered sadly, "Perhaps."

Before Li Luo could say anything further, his vision began to blur. The corruption in his left arm was running amok and his mind was beginning to get affected.

Li Lingjing could sense the changes happening to him. "Focus your mind and suppress the corruption. I will help you take care of the True Devil Egg."

At this point, she paused. "As long as you still trust me."

Li Luo smiled back at her. He sat down in the lotus position and closed his eyes, completely lowering his guard against all external threats. Then he focused his mind to resist the corruption and protect his body.

Looking at his defenseless state, a hardly noticeable warm light flashed across Li Lingjing's ice-cold eyes. She kneeled down beside Li Luo, stretched out her hand, and lifted Li Luo's terrifying cursed arm.

As soon as she came into contact with the arm, an extremely cold energy gushed out of it. Countless strange whispers resounded within her heart, trying to corrupt her spirit.

Such whispers were really frightening to ordinary people, but Li Lingjing was not bothered by them at all. Her inner self was like a lake of dead water. No matter how many negative emotions fell onto it, she was completely unaffected.

She stared at the cursed arm and thought about it for a moment. If she cut the arm off, it would be the easiest way to retrieve the True Devil Egg. This was what the Blood Coffin Carrier had planned to do. However, she clearly couldn't use this method.

She had to do it in a less extreme way.

Li Lingjing opened her red lips, and two of her teeth suddenly grew sharper. Like the fangs of a python, she bit Li Luo's wrist directly.

Surging waves of corruption gushed out, flowing along Li Lingjing's red lips and going straight into her body.

As Li Lingjing absorbed the energy of the True Devil Egg, Li Luo's tight frown gradually loosened up. However, he had completely shut off his senses to the outside world as he was completely focused on channeling his resonant power and resisting the corruption.

Li Lingjing waved her sleeve at this point. A green and black mist filled with countless screams slowly expanded out of her body.

The demonic feeling emanating from Li Lingjing was gradually strengthening.

She was trying her best to buy as much time as possible. Hopefully, she could resolve the problem of the True Devil Egg on Li Luo's left arm before the Blood Coffin Carrier reached them.

Time passed rapidly as Li Lingjing struggled against the incoming foes.

This was all until a particular moment...

Bang!

A loud explosion could be heard outside the hall. The huge and heavy doors of the hall were blown apart. The Blood Coffin Carrier stood in front of the gate with his body dripping in blood. He stared into the hall with deadly and mad eyes.

When he saw Li Lingjing's red lips biting Li Luo's left arm, his eyes grew even fiercer.

"Aquamarine Python, you shouldn't steal my things! I am going to torture you to death. I'll feed every scrap of your flesh to my beloved!"

The Blood Coffin Carrier screamed in a mad voice. His blood and flesh moved towards the center of his palm, transforming into a bloody, fleshy spear with an eyeball.

"Die, Aquamarine Python!"

The Blood Coffin Carrier laughed out viciously and threw the spear at Li Lingjing and Li Luo with immense murderous intent.

Looking at its trajectory, the spear would pierce through both Li Luo and Li Lingjing without a doubt.

Li Lingjing could feel it approaching them after his angry cries. Her eyebrows frowned a little. However, she did not plan to dodge it. She quietly channeled her power, and the scales on her skin grew even darker.

Clearly, she was planning to fight back against it.

Whoosh!

The spear cut through the air with a sharp ring. When it was just a few feet away from Li Luo and Li Lingjing, the surroundings were suddenly illuminated with radiant light.

A pillar of light containing unimaginable divine energy descended on the dome of the hall. It melted the dome instantaneously and then crashed down upon the spear.

As it was saturated with pure and concentrated purification power, the fleshy spear screamed in pain. Then it began to evaporate into a wisp of black smoke before everyone's eyes.

The endless light energy pierced through the sky and brightened up every corner of the hall.

The Blood Coffin Carrier was stunned by the sudden development. He looked up and saw a tall, slender figure slowly descending.

On her back were two light Spirit Avatars. They rippled with light resonant power, giving off an incredibly holy appearance.

Four wings made up of light resonant power were on her back. Looking like a goddess of light, she gradually descended into the world of mortals.

Jiang Qing'e had finally arrived.
