Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 916: Chapter 785: The Last Hope

The sharp sword light flashed, slicing the demon vine into several pieces.

Beside him, the Hunyuan Ancestor had no protective weapon like the Nine Dragon Chant and was entangled by the demon vine.

Seeing this, Ye Lingyue flicked her wrist, holding the Nine Dragon Chant, swung a few more swords, and relieved the Hunyuan Ancestor from his predicament.

The demon vine, repeatedly thwarted by Ye Lingyue, was infuriated and let out a sharp whistle-like screech.

More demon vines surged toward Ye Lingyue, almost wrapping her layer by layer.

The situation suddenly became tense, when Zitang Su appeared in front of Ye Lingyue, pulling her into his embrace.

With a blur before her eyes, Ye Lingyue was already taken away from the encirclement of the demon vines.

”Danger,” Zitang Su said in a low voice.

”Let me go, I need to save Wu Zhong.”

Ye Lingyue remembered that Princess Qingfeng once said when she was pregnant, she dreamt of a black sun falling into her belly.

Her description at that time was exactly the same as this black sun before her eyes.

Although Ye Lingyue didn’t understand why a black sun emerged from Wu Zhong’s body, its appearance was undoubtedly related to Wu Zhong.

If she could reclaim Wu Zhong’s body, perhaps she could solve the mystery of the black sun and save Feng Xun and Wu Zhong.

”If it were him, he wouldn’t harm you. He’s already dead.”

If it were Wu Zhong or Feng Xun, neither would harm Ye Lingyue.

That man, who could even give up his own life, how could he attack Ye Lingyue.

Although the black sun burst out of Wu Zhong’s body, it was not him.

It wanted to kill Ye Lingyue and seize the Moonflower King from her hands.

Zitang Su’s words pierced Ye Lingyue’s heart like a sharp sword.

Ye Lingyue bit her lip, yet she was well aware in her heart that Wu Zhong had endured the Green Thunder and Divine Emperor’s Green Thunder for her, narrowly escaping death.

She could no longer feel his presence; he was dead, but she was unwilling to accept this reality.

”I’ll say it once more, let me go, I want to reclaim his body.”

Ye Lingyue bit her lip until she tasted blood.

Zitang Su’s eyes darkened as he gripped Ye Lingyue’s wrist and pushed her behind him.

Behind him, numerous fiercely attacking demonized thorns came berserkly.

With a flick of Zitang Su’s sleeve, the Annihilation Tower flew out.

In an instant, countless demon vines wrapped around the Annihilation Tower.

Clashing sounds were heard, and a burst of golden sparks flared where the Annihilation Tower and the demon vines intersected.

Black fire erupted from the Divine Artifact Annihilation Tower, igniting the demon vines. Though they were burned to ashes, soon those ashes reconstructed into new demon vines, repeatedly climbing up the Annihilation Tower like venomous snakes, trying to devour its divine power.

”Lord Zitang, what exactly is this black sun?”

Monk Nan Jiu and Yue Mei arrived, with Chen Mu following beside Yue Mei, having rescued him in the chaos.

They had all witnessed the changes inside the Hunyuan Sect firsthand. Even for those as battle-hardened as them, seeing such terrifying alterations made their hearts tremble.

”The Doomsday Demonic Sun, a sign of the Demon Ancestor coming into the world.”

Zitang Su’s words left Yue Mei and Monk Nan Jiu stunned.

The term ’Doomsday Demonic Sun’ might be unfamiliar to younger individuals like Yue Mei and Chen Mu, but for high-level members of the Three Sects like Monk Nan Jiu, it was not unfamiliar.

The Doomsday Demonic Sun, also known as the light of destruction, is rumored to bring calamity whenever it appears in the world.

From the life-and-death struggles of war to natural disasters, each incident follows the appearance of the demonic sun.

Some even say that during the era of the Ancient Yi God, when ten suns wrought havoc, the first sun to appear was the Doomsday Demonic Sun.

Later, it was only by relying on the Void-breaking Bow refining method granted by the God Emperor to the hero Yi God, combined with Yi God’s innate divine strength, that the ten suns were shot down.

But even then, the Doomsday Demonic Sun, the initial culprit, wasn’t completely eradicated; it was merely sealed.

Nobody knows where the demonic sun was actually sealed, nor did anyone expect the Doomsday Demonic Sun to appear within a human’s body.

”Lord Zitang, what should we do then?” Yue Mei could not imagine the consequences if the demonic sun continued, causing a zombie outbreak at the Hunyuan Sect or if the demonized living spirits surged into the Qing Province Continent, or even if the demonic sun descended upon the world.

”Close the Demon Awakening Gate, seal the demonic sun, destroy the host body.”

After saying that, Zitang Su glanced at Ye Lingyue in his arms.

The Doomsday Demonic Sun had only just burst forth and was closely related to the host’s body. If Wu Zhong’s body could be destroyed within two hours, the demonic sun would suffer severe damage and likely be forced back into a sealed state.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyue was taken aback at their intent to destroy Wu Zhong’s body?

”No!” Hearing this, Ye Lingyue’s face changed color.

Zitang Su meant to unite the power of the Three Sects to destroy Wu Zhong’s body.

The Sifang City Lord had already returned to Sifang City to close the Demon Awakening Gate. The next step was to seal the demonic sun and destroy Wu Zhong’s body.

But for Ye Lingyue, if even his body was incinerated, Feng Xun and Wu Zhong could never be resurrected, a situation Ye Lingyue could not allow to occur.

”That’s not up to you. Lord Zitang, I, along with Master Nan Jiu and Chen Mu, will handle the demon’s body. I leave the Doomsday Demonic Sun to you.”

Seeing Ye Lingyue’s grief-stricken expression, Yue Mei felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

This woman, today, finally sees this day.

Ye Lingyue’s mesmerizing influence over Chen Mu nearly caused him to betray his sect, a thorn in Yue Mei’s side.

Yue Mei wished she could make Ye Lingyue experience the sight of her beloved man’s flesh being torn apart before her eyes.

With that, Monk Nan Jiu, Yue Mei, Chen Mu, and others simultaneously rose into the air.

Together, they attacked Wu Zhong’s body.

”Will you really let go or not?” Ye Lingyue’s voice turned a few degrees colder when Zitang Su suddenly felt a chilling energy surge from where he held Ye Lingyue.

Zitang Su’s arm jerked, and looking down, he noticed black gas infiltrating his body from a few wounds on his arm.

Skin that even divine weapons might not be able to pierce now bore several wounds.

Ye Lingyue slipped away like a loach, firmly trailing the others like Monk Nan Jiu.

Zitang Su furrowed his brow but soon relaxed, casting his gaze toward Sifang City in the distance.

From Sifang City, the fluctuation of Primordial Power became increasingly intense.

Everything had reached its conclusion; Zitang Su sighed, withdrew his gaze, and did not chase after Ye Lingyue. Instead, he maneuvered the Annihilation Tower and the black demonic sun.

In the blink of an eye, Monk Nan Jiu and the others surrounded Wu Zhong’s body.

The first to charge forward was Yue Mei. She summoned the Han Yue Sword, with the New Moon rising behind her. The sword light, silver and like a fish, struck toward Wu Zhong, ready to pierce Wu Zhong’s body with countless holes.
