Chapter 153: The Backhand

A chill filled the air, and the entire city was frozen.

At this moment, Tianyang City, which was just bustling with noise, suddenly fell silent. Every living being was covered in a thick layer of ice, rendering them immobile.

Li An's heart was filled with despair. What kind of monster was behind this demonic cult?

Why would such an existence target someone as insignificant as himself?

Utterly powerless!

...

In the center of the frozen domain was the Left Mansion.

The "sickly girl" took a step forward and was already in front of the "puppet Li An." She examined the puppet's body.

"You actually transferred my demonic energy to others..."

"It turns out you're just a little fox. You knew about my plan long ago, but you hid it so well that even I was deceived, thinking you were unaware."

"It seems you're not as simple as I imagined. You can actually affect my demonic energy... Heh, truly a natural-born vessel for magic."

The "sickly girl" whispered, then gently pinched her fingers.

The frozen puppet shattered with a snap.

Destroyed!

"You escaped while I entered, didn't you?"

She closed her eyes and carefully recalled every moment of entering the Left Mansion:

She entered the Left Mansion, Li An's concubines tried to stop her, but she waved her hand and annihilated them all, along with the second-tier formation.

Now, the bodies of those concubines were still there.

Gu Hong was still there.

The puppet was still there.

These people were not the ones she wanted!

"Floor tiles, fine soil, mixed with the crowd..."

Suddenly, she turned around and looked into the distance.

Even though Li An was more than ten miles away from her, at the city gate, with countless buildings and obstacles in between, at this moment, her body still felt a bone-chilling coldness.

As if she had been locked onto by a primordial behemoth!

Discovered.

Li An's heart turned cold.

This feeling of powerlessness, this feeling of despair...

"Come back to me!"

The "sickly girl" coldly shouted, raised her hand, and with a single grab, the already frozen Li An, who was more than ten miles away, was instantly caught by a tremendous force and flew towards the Left Mansion.

Buildings and other people on the street along the way were swept away like a tornado, collapsing and crumbling.

This scene was extremely terrifying. With just a wave of her hand, the "sickly girl" created a tornado-like force in the city.

But in an instant, the frozen Li An had already fallen heavily into the ruins of the Left Mansion, in front of the "sickly girl."

"Not bad. You're clever enough to let your wife form her Nascent Soul, then transfer my demonic energy into your puppet, making it identical to you..."

"Such a seamless plan, deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea. You could have been a valuable subordinate of mine."

"Unfortunately, I will claim your body."

After saying that, she gently touched in front of Li An.

The ice that had frozen Li An suddenly disappeared.

Li An instantly broke free, instinctively retreated, his face pale.

But the girl had already grabbed his throat, and a burning light appeared in her eyes. "The natural-born vessel for magic... is mine!"

A brilliant light radiated from her forehead, and her primordial spirit was about to emerge and occupy Li An's body.

Just sensing the aura of her primordial spirit, Li An was already terrified. Even the primordial spirits of Nascent Soul cultivators would probably not be this strong.

Even though Li An's spiritual consciousness far surpassed those of the same level, his primordial spirit was still far from being powerful enough to resist her.

They were simply not on the same level!

Li An struggled and resisted with all his might, his spiritual consciousness erupted, but it was still futile.

This seemed to be Li An's only outcome.

All the countless causes and effects seemed to converge here...

Li An was completely disheartened. After being reborn, he had diligently practiced the art of cultivating immortality, but it was all in vain, merely making wedding clothes for others.

However, at this moment...

The body of the "sickly girl" suddenly became enveloped in black light, which directly struck her primordial spirit.

"Ah—"

A piercing scream rang out.

The primordial spirit, which was about to break free, was forcibly pulled back into her spiritual platform. She instinctively took two steps back, her face pale, and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

With this sudden change, she instantly lost control over the entire Tianyang City, and the ice that had sealed the city disappeared in an instant.

The cultivators on the streets and alleys regained their freedom, and everyone was in a state of panic, fleeing.

In the ruins, Gu Hong's body trembled as she looked at Li An, who had been captured, her eyes filled with urgency.

...

"This is not right!"

The "sickly girl" suddenly looked towards the ruins of the Left Mansion.

Outside the ruins, a maid dressed girl had already appeared.

"Xiaoxiao... you actually left behind a primordial spirit?!"

The "sickly girl" exclaimed, "Not only that, you even set up a formation within your own body?"

Her expression was extremely unsightly.

She had used a scheme to obtain her sister's body, but she never expected that her sister had also left a contingency plan, leaving behind a primordial spirit outside, and even setting up a formation within her own body!

"Sister, you have deceived me so many times, it's only normal for me to be occasionally clever, right?"

The maid walked over and said, "It seems that this person is what you desire the most..."

She looked at Li An and smiled faintly, "He belongs to me now—"

Then, a beam of light flew out from the maid's forehead and instantly entered Li An's spiritual platform.

The maid collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, a voice sounded in Li An's mind, "Quickly leave, the formation within my body can only support for a moment, my sister will break it soon, and there will be no chance then—"

This voice was clearly weak!

Li An's heart trembled, and he instinctively glanced at Gu Hong, shouting, "Run!"

Then, he also turned around and activated a flying talisman, flying away directly.

As he flew away, the "sickly girl" had already looked up and coldly said, "You can't escape—"

In just a moment, she had already broken a part of the formation within her sister's body and was about to stop Li An with her hand.

But at this moment, behind her, Gu Hong exerted all her strength, unleashing the power of Foundation Establishment. She reactivated two triple-layer formations and fiercely attacked the "sickly girl."

"Don't even think about harming him—"

Gu Hong gritted her teeth, blood flowing from her mouth. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were filled with one unshakable belief.

Let Li An escape!

The "sickly girl" at this moment couldn't completely control this body. The power she could emit was not as strong, and most of her power had dissipated due to Gu Hong's attack.

"Seeking death!!—"

The sickly girl became extremely angry and slapped her hand.

Gu Hong fell like a leaf in the wind, landing heavily in the ruins.

Her body was covered in blood.

All her meridians were severed, and she had lost her combat power.

However, she trembled and took out a few talismans from her bosom...

Two of the talismans had already been completely destroyed, leaving only one flying talisman with half a corner remaining.

Li An not only gave her the opportunity to escape, but also gave her these talismans.

He hoped that she could escape and save her life.

In fact, just now she could have escaped. With the help of this flying talisman, she could quickly create a safe distance.

But, in order to save Li An, she gave up this opportunity!

"Li Lang..."

She softly called out, her eyes devoid of any sadness or fear, only a calm joy.

"You must live well..."

She closed her eyes, and two tears fell from her eyes.
