Chapter 96 The Demonic Weapon Returns to Righteousness, Repelling the Enemy Group

A dark shadow, shrouded in suffocating demonic energy, shot towards Dai Yao like an arrow. Ling Die, terrified, cried out, "Demon Lord?! How...how has he been resurrected?!" Without hesitation, the mysterious figure stepped in front of Dai Yao, a flash of light appearing in his hand as he conjured a longsword radiating a faint golden glow. "Run!" he roared, shoving Dai Yao and Ling Die away violently.

Dai Yao was pushed so hard she almost fell flat on her face. Luckily, she was agile and quickly regained her balance. Watching the mysterious figure face the Demon Lord alone, Dai Yao gritted her teeth: "Boss, we'll die together! If we become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

"You two get out of here! Don't cause any more trouble!" the mysterious figure shouted as he fended off the Demon Lord's furious barrage of attacks.

"Go my ass! I'm going to be the Pirate King's woman!" Dai Yao said, pulling out a handful of talismans and throwing them out like beans. "Boom boom boom" explosions rose and fell, and flames shot into the sky, dust flew everywhere.

At this moment, deep within the ruins, in a corner that Dai Yao and the others had previously missed, Ling Die suddenly discovered a stone tablet covered with strange runes.

"Yaoyao, come quick! It looks like there's something written on this!"

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure rushed over. The inscription on the stone tablet was obscure and difficult to understand, but Dai Yao, relying on her powerful "archaeological" abilities, managed to decipher its general meaning: It turned out that the demonic artifact's backlash was due to absorbing a special power called "Breath of Chaos" during the trial of immortal destiny, and only by finding the corresponding "Light of Purification" could it be neutralized. And the "Light of Purification" was located within these ruins…

"Wait, why is there a piece missing from this stone tablet?" Dai Yao pointed to the missing part at the bottom of the stone tablet, looking completely bewildered.

Just then, the roar of the Balrog grew closer and closer, and the ground began to shake violently.

"What's going on? Is there a bug in the program?" Dai Yao couldn't help but complain.

"It's not a bug! It's the Shadow Fiend!" The mysterious figure exclaimed gravely. "He's using an array to draw upon the power of the Fire Fiend, trying to blow up the entire ruins!"

Dai Yao immediately felt terrible: "Is this guy a demolition genius? He's always blowing things up!"

"Never mind him for now! We must find the 'Light of Purification' as soon as possible!" the mysterious figure urged.

With time running out, Dai Yao didn't have time to complain and quickly began searching around the ruins.

Just when they were about to despair, Psylocke suddenly cried out in surprise, "Found it! It's here!"

She pointed to an inconspicuous recess in the wall, where a gemstone emitting a soft white light lay quietly.

Without saying a word, Dai Yao picked up the gem and slammed it into the magic weapon.

The gemstone shone brightly, and the black aura on the magical artifact gradually dissipated, replaced by a warm and powerful force.

"It's done!" Dai Yao clenched her fist excitedly.

Sensing that the magical artifact had returned to normal, the spirit of the artifact calmed down and stopped attacking violently. Instead, it nestled gently beside Dai Yao.

Dai Yao felt a powerful force surging into her body, which greatly boosted her confidence.

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and the entire ruins began to shake violently...

"Not good!" The mysterious figure's expression changed drastically. "The Shadow Fiend is here!"

Amidst the billowing dust, the Shadow Demon's figure slowly emerged, followed by a group of menacing cultivators, each with unfriendly eyes, clearly indicating their ill intentions.

Seeing that Dai Yao and the others hadn't been blown to smithereens, Shadow Demon was clearly taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "They're quite lucky, but that's where it ends."

"Hey, isn't this Brother Shadow Demon? Long time no see, how have you been?" Dai Yao greeted him with a grin, as if the life-or-death crisis just now was just a joke.

"What's going on? Are they coming here in a group to get themselves killed?"

Shadow Demon's face darkened, and he waved his hand, "Enough talk! Attack!"

His henchmen immediately charged forward with shouts of excitement, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Dai Yao sneered, and the demonic weapon in her hand flashed, unleashing a powerful surge of energy throughout her body.

She moved like lightning, weaving through the crowd. Every punch and kick carried devastating power, instantly taking down a group of people.

"Holy crap, Yao Yao, did you take some kind of superpower? You're so strong!" Ling Die watched in disbelief, treating her injured teammate while cheering Dai Yao on.

The mysterious figure was not to be outdone, brandishing his long sword with sword energy that swept across the land, felling enemies wherever it passed.

While fighting, he didn't forget to remind Dai Yao: "Be careful of the Shadow Demon's illusions!"

As Shadow Fiend watched his minions being cut down one after another like leeks, his expression grew increasingly grim.

He finally couldn't hold back and took matters into his own hands. In a flash, he appeared in front of Dai Yao, a black dagger in his hand aimed straight at Dai Yao's throat.

"A mere trick!" Dai Yao was prepared and dodged the attack by turning to the side, while simultaneously striking the Shadow Demon in the chest with her palm.

Shadow Demon grunted and took several steps back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Dai Yao's current strength far exceeds his expectations.

He took a deep breath, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and the surrounding air began to distort, forming a huge illusion.

"Hmph, in my illusion, you will surely die!" the Shadow Demon sneered.

Dai Yao looked around and found herself in a vast expanse of white snow, with a biting wind and falling snowflakes.

She smiled slightly: "That's it? You underestimate me!"

She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and sensed the flow of energy around her.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide, looked in a certain direction, and a strange smile appeared on her lips: "Found you!"

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Shadow Fiend's heart.

"What do you want to do?"

The eerie smile on Dai Yao's lips sent chills down Shadow Demon's spine.

The demonic artifact in Dai Yao's hand shone brightly, and the previously restless demonic energy became unusually docile, like an obedient dragon circling around her.

Dai Yao had previously sensed that the real reason for the backlash from the demonic artifact was not the demonic energy itself, but rather the wisp of remnant soul residing inside the artifact causing the trouble.

This wisp of remnant soul, though weak, was exceptionally cunning, lurking deep within the demonic artifact, waiting for its chance to strike.

Dai Yao couldn't find it until just now, in the Shadow Demon's illusion, this wisp of remnant soul was stimulated and finally revealed its location.

"Goodbye!" Dai Yao chuckled, pointing her magic weapon at a corner of the illusion. A dazzling light flashed, and a shrill scream echoed through the illusion.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding illusion shattered like glass, and Dai Yao and the Shadow Demon returned to the real world.

Before Shadow Fiend could react to what was happening, he felt a powerful force coming towards him.

The demonic weapon in Dai Yao's hand was radiating a terrifying pressure, like a primordial beast from ancient times, ready to devour everything.

"Holy crap! Yao Yao, are you cheating?!" Ling Die stared in disbelief, her jaw practically dropping to her sides.

With a deafening boom, the Shadow Demon was violently blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out blood.

He stared at Dai Yao in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear.

He never imagined that Dai Yao could break through his illusion so easily and even enhance the power of the demonic artifact to such a terrifying degree.

"Boss!" Shadow Fiend's men panicked when they saw their leader was injured.

"Brothers, let's retreat!" someone shouted, leading the way in the escape.

"Trying to run? No way!" Dai Yao sneered, and the magic weapon in her hand flashed, unleashing a barrage of sharp attacks that knocked down all the henchmen who tried to escape.

Shadow Fiend struggled to stand up, only to find himself severely injured and unable to fight any longer.

He watched Dai Yao approach step by step, his eyes filled with despair.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Shadow Fiend asked with difficulty.

Dai Yao walked up to him, looking down at him with a playful smile: "You should save that question for the King of Hell in the underworld!"

After saying that, Dai Yao's magical artifact flashed, and the Shadow Demon's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

After the battle, Dai Yao turned to look at the mysterious figure, her eyes filled with tenderness.

The mysterious figure silently walked to her side and gently embraced her.

Psylocke looked at the two of them with a maternal smile, then coughed lightly: "Ahem, you two, can you be a little more mindful of the occasion? There's a single guy here!"

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure exchanged a smile, then looked at Ling Die at the same time.

“Pure Butterfly,” Dai Yao suddenly spoke up, “I…”

Before Dai Yao could utter the words she had been preparing for so long, she was interrupted by a sudden hiccup from the spirit of the magical artifact.

Since the remnant soul of this demonic artifact was cleared away, it's like a completely different person. Not only is it no longer irritable, but it also occasionally does some things that are both funny and exasperating.

"Hiccup~ Sorry, I just absorbed the remnant soul of a Shadow Demon, and I have a bit of indigestion." The spirit of the magical artifact spoke in a childish voice, completely different from its previous fierce and menacing appearance. Anyone who didn't know better would think it had changed its personality.

"By the way, the remnant soul of this Shadow Fiend tastes pretty good, though it's a bit burning to the throat."

Psylocke was completely dumbfounded: "Wait, you can absorb souls?! That's too overpowered!"

She couldn't help but look at Dai Yao, her eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred: "Yao Yao, tell me honestly, did you secretly spend money on in-game purchases? This cheat ability is too overpowered!"

Dai Yao shrugged, looking completely innocent: "What does this have to do with me? I'm just an ordinary transmigrated villain."

She was secretly delighted: This is a win without even trying!

The mysterious figure looked at Dai Yao, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and ruffled Dai Yao's hair, his voice gentle: "Let's go, we should leave."

The three walked out of the ancient ruins, and the sun was already high in the sky outside.

The warm sunlight shone on Dai Yao, dispelling the cold and dampness of the ruins.

Dai Yao took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

She knew that after this battle, her name would be sung once again in the cultivation world.

After all, not everyone can wield a magical artifact and defeat a horde of enemies.

"Yaoyao, where do you plan to go next?" Lingdie asked.

Dai Yao smiled mysteriously: "Of course, we're going to stir up some trouble!"

The mysterious figure looked at Dai Yao, a hint of doting in his eyes.

He knew that Dai Yao already had a plan in mind.

The three walked side by side, heading into the distance.

Their figures gradually disappeared on the horizon, leaving only a legend circulating in the world of cultivation.

“Wait,” Dai Yao suddenly stopped and turned to look at the mysterious figure, “I think… I sensed something…”

She frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
