Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2106: Chapter 2104: Respecting Her Decision

The person beside him hurriedly tried to help, but the suction grew even stronger, pulling both of them toward the front of the hall. Feng Cheng’s expression changed slightly, but before he could speak, a wisp of black Qi drifted toward the two of them, and in an instant, they both screamed miserably as a terrifying scene unfolded.

Their bodies decayed rapidly, with chunks of flesh falling to the ground, only to dissolve quickly with no trace of blood left. Then, it seemed as though something floated out from their bodies.

For a moment, the main hall was terrifyingly quiet, and the people of Jiuli were stunned. What kind of monster was this, with such a fast and eerie killing speed!

A sinister laughter echoed once more, but the laughter seemed to be composed of countless voices, as if you were facing countless monsters, making it even more terrifying.

Feng Cheng gritted his teeth angrily and said, ”Damn it, why are you all still here? Do you want to stay and die?”

The timid ones were already frightened and fled in panic, while Bai Zepei and a few others from Wei Hall quickly set up a defensive array to protect everyone as they retreated. But soon the black Qi drifted toward their array, and the sound of sizzling, like something being roasted, was heard as their defensive cover was slowly dissolved, and the black fog continued to spread toward them.

The Tenth Elder snapped back to reality and grabbed Bai Zepei and Xiu Shao, who were closest to the inside, ”You two get out quickly, the array here can’t hold.”

Everyone began retreating to the outside of the main hall, but the black fog spread too quickly and was about to catch up with Bai Zepei and the others at the back!

Suddenly, a slender figure dashed in, heading straight toward the black Qi.

By the time Bai Zepei realized it was Bai Ruozhu, she had already run to his rear. He turned his head and shouted, ”Little sister, why did you come over? It’s dangerous there, hurry and leave!”

Bai Ruozhu, seeing the situation in front of her, didn’t care to say much, ”Second brother, hurry and go protect father and mother.”

”You can’t go in, that black Qi will take your life, not even a shred of bone will remain!” The Tenth Elder also shouted anxiously.

The two people who died earlier had already been reduced to nothing, leaving only two tattered pieces of clothing on the ground to prove that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Bai Ruozhu did not stop her steps, and without looking back said, ”You all go quickly, don’t waste any more time, I’ll be fine, the black fog will spread through the whole palace, and if you wait any longer, no one will escape!”

From the moment she saw the black fog, for some reason, the image of that tree bearing black fruits in her space appeared in her mind, and she instinctively felt that as long as that tree existed, she need not fear the black fog, and she could even stop its spread.

So she walked forward step by step, reaching out toward the drifting black fog.

”Little sister!” Bai Zepei felt faint, almost passing out from fright, as he thought his little sister would be swallowed whole by the black fog like the two before, but surprisingly, Bai Ruozhu was indeed unharmed, and due to her obstruction, the black fog temporarily ceased to spread outward.

Everyone thought Bai Ruozhu was blocking the black fog, but in reality, she was using her hand to absorb the black fog bit by bit into her space, pouring it all onto the tree with black fruits, and as the tree absorbed the black fog, its leaves became more vigorous, and it grew several feet taller, towering over the nearby trees.

The black Qi did not continue to spread out, but Bai Ruozhu dared not relax for a moment; if she stopped, the black fog could not harm her but would immediately move toward the others behind, swallowing them in an instant.

Feng Cheng was also shocked, not expecting Bai Ruozhu to have a way to counter the black fog.

Bai Ruozhu dared not lose focus, but since her second brother and the others did not leave, she couldn’t be at ease. Not knowing how long she could hold on, she turned her head and said to Bai Zepei, ”You all hurry out, Feng Jizhi is waiting for you at the previous spot, once you get there, go straight out the main gate, don’t wait for me. I will figure out a way to leave. Remember, once you’re outside, you must quickly rescue those who are imprisoned. If the enemy is too strong, run to the mountains; speed is key, so go quickly.”

Outside, Lin Pinger saw the overwhelming black Qi nearly engulfing her daughter and began crying in panic, sobbing as she said, ”Ruozhu, you can’t get hurt, don’t worry about us, just hurry and escape!”

Bai Ruozhu forced out a smile for her mother, ”I really am fine, I have a way to make sure the black Qi doesn’t hurt me, but I can’t hold it back for long. As long as you’re all here, the monster will continue releasing black Qi, but if you leave, I can release the Poisonous Insects to fully confront it!”

To the others’ ears, it sounded like she was prepared to sacrifice herself to shield the calamity for everyone else, moving them all to tears.

Elder Su drew his sword, gritting his teeth, ”We’ll fight it, facing death is better than letting a little girl handle it for us!”

Bai Ruozhu grew anxious, unsure how to convince them, luckily Feng Cheng, with a wave of his sleeve, transported them outside.

”I swear I’ll return alive, hurry and leave, don’t sacrifice yourself here for nothing!” Bai Ruozhu yelled toward the outside, sure that they could hear her.

By the time Bai Zepei and the others realized it, they were already outside the palace, and the Third and Eighth Elders’ eyes were red, while Lin Pinger and the others cried uncontrollably.

Bai Zepei finally held his family’s hands and resolutely said, ”Let’s do as little sister says and leave first, we must trust her, she will keep herself safe.”

Jiao Ling opened her mouth but, recalling the previous massacre of the clan members, was deeply worried. Bai Zepei, even more determinedly, said, ”Little sister was enlightened by the Immortals, she won’t come to harm, we can’t slow her down outside.”

The Fifth Elder, eyes rimmed red, said, ”As expected of someone who reached the trial’s center and was touched by the Purple Light, I haven’t admired many in my life, but I truly admire Bai Ruozhu.”

The Bai Family wiped away their tears and followed the group eastward. When no one was watching, Bai Zepei discreetly wiped his eyes. He didn’t really know if his little sister could return alive, but since she is sacrificing everything for everyone, he had to respect her choice.

Inside the main hall, a ghostly wail echoed again: ”Haha, who knew there would be such a girl! Your Qi is excellent; the meat must be tender. Since you’ve sent them away, you two will be my dinner!”

Suddenly, the black fog grew thicker; clearly, the monster hadn’t exerted its full strength before!

Bai Ruozhu felt she could no longer manage the black fog, as the tree with black fruits in her space had grown three feet taller, its trunk thickened by two circles. If it continued, it might burst inside.

She urgently looked at Feng Cheng, ”What exactly is this monster?”

Feng Cheng’s face was ashen, looking extremely strained. Suddenly, as if from nowhere, he pulled out three extremely long needles and fiercely pierced his own head with them.
