On the other side, outside the wooden house.
Luo Ruying, afflicted with Miasma Poison, was still desperately trying to kill the Ghost Husband. However, the Miasma Poison continued to spread through her body, making Luo Ruying feel increasingly weak, and her vision gradually blurred.
"Heh heh heh, it seems the Celestial Realm's daughter is nothing more than this."
"If you continue to forcibly use the spiritual energy in your body, the Miasma Poison will corrode your entire body, and you will rot and fester to death from the inside out~"
The Ghost Husband laughed triumphantly at Luo Ruying.
Seeing Luo Ruying's complexion gradually turn green, completely devoid of the strong momentum she had just now, he knew the Miasma Poison had begun to take effect.
Luo Ruying posed no threat to him anymore!
"Hmph! Before that, I'll kill you first!"
Luo Ruying, supporting her weakened body, took a swift step and once again flew towards the Ghost Husband with her sword.
It wouldn't be too difficult for a peak Celestial God Realm expert to catch up to a mortal burdened with a child.
For the safety of Ning Yechen and the child, she had to kill this person here!
Even if it meant perishing together with him!
Seeing Luo Ruying flash towards him quickly, the Ghost Husband was startled by the fierce sword light slashing towards him.
It was the first time he had seen someone whose body was completely covered in Miasma Poison still daring to use their spiritual power so recklessly, disregarding their own safety!
This crazy woman really wanted to drag him down with her before she died!
At the instant Luo Ruying's sword light descended, the Ghost Husband was enveloped in Miasma Poison. The sword light cleaved through it, but the Ghost Husband was already gone.
The Miasma Poison that Luo Ruying had split apart continued to expand and spread, engulfing her entirely. The thick, impenetrable poison filled the air on all sides.
Luo Ruying quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hand, her gaze darting through the miasma.
She could feel it – the Ghost Husband was hiding within this miasma!
Whoosh!
A figure flashed rapidly through the mist!
Found him!
Luo Ruying's eyes blazed like torches. The moment the figure reappeared, she unleashed a Spirit Severing Slash from her celestial sword!
The dazzling sword light sliced the figure directly in half!
Success!
Luo Ruying was overjoyed.
The next second, a hand suddenly emerged from the mist behind her and attacked!
Luo Ruying sensed it immediately, turned around, and blocked with her sword. However, she didn't expect another hand to emerge from the mist and slam heavily into her abdomen!
"Pfft!"
Luo Ruying spat out a mouthful of blood, flew out of the Miasma Poison mist, and fell to the ground, clutching her stomach.
"Heh heh heh, you fell for it, Lady Celestial~"
The Ghost Husband strolled out of the miasma fog, a sinister, triumphant smile on his face.
Following behind him were dozens of Ghost Corpse Puppets that he had refined and modified.
The one that struck Luo Ruying in the chest was one of those Ghost Corpse Puppets.
And the one that Luo Ruying had slain as bait was also just a Ghost Corpse Puppet.
His principle was never to expose himself to danger; if he could use Ghost Corpse Puppets and Miasma Poison, he would absolutely not risk taking action himself.
Luo Ruying planted her Celestial Sword in the ground for support, struggling to stand up. Her complexion was already a dark green, but her gaze remained firm as she stared at the Ghost Husband.
"Fairy, don't struggle in vain. Just surrender obediently."
"I will ensure your death isn't too unsightly."
"Perhaps you could become this old man's Lifebound Ghost Corpse Puppet~"
The Ghost Husband stared at Luo Ruying's graceful figure, greedily licking his lips.
He wasn't greedy for Luo Ruying's beauty, but for her body!
Ordinary Celestial God Realm cultivators who were hit by his Miasma Poison and dared to use their spiritual energy so forcefully would have long since festered and died.
Yet, Luo Ruying still showed no signs of decay. The robustness of her celestial body was simply unmatched!
The great one in the Celestial Realm had said that Luo Ruying could be killed or kept alive. Maybe he could even be rewarded with this celestial maiden's body… It would be perfect for refining his Lifebound Ghost Corpse Puppet~!
Luo Ruying slightly turned her head, looking towards the forest behind her. A trace of reluctance flowed in her beautiful eyes, then her gaze turned resolute as she faced the Ghost Husband.
A body of golden, dazzling spiritual energy surged fiercely. Her ink-black hair instantly turned silver, and her crimson eyes emitted a brilliant golden light!
"Goddess Luo!"
Luo Ruying cried out, and a figure several meters tall, clad in golden Celestial Armor, vaguely appeared behind her.
The woman opened her golden, glassy eyes and raised her Celestial sword high, casually slashing down at the Ghost Husband!
The Ghost Husband felt an unprecedented sense of pressure emanating from the woman's image, and the descending sword strike made his heart tremble with fear!
The tens-of-meters-long sword light fell like a flash, offering no chance to escape.
The Ghost Husband could only hastily command all the Ghost Corpse Puppets to block in front of him, and his entire body's Miasma Poison transformed into a barrier!
Very quickly, the sword light devoured and shattered all the Ghost Corpse Puppets. The Miasma Poison barrier protecting the Ghost Husband offered almost no resistance and was also broken!
"Aaaah!"
A shrill scream echoed through the sword light.
The sword light stretched for dozens of miles, tearing apart everything in its path. All that remained on the ground was the terrifying sword's might and a deep chasm!
After unleashing this sword strike, Luo Ruying could no longer hold herself up, and she knelt on the ground, leaning on her sword.
Forcibly using the Goddess Luo with the cultivation of the Celestial Realm, she had expended an enormous amount of spiritual energy, and the Miasma Poison had already invaded her body…
Her body was filled with a piercing pain…
Yet, Luo Ruying wore a beautiful, sorrowful smile.
The child and he should be safe…
It's just that she might not be able to go find them…
However, at this moment, a voice that filled Luo Ruying with despair suddenly rang out.
"Truly worthy of being a daughter of the Celestial Realm…"
"This old man almost lost it…!"
The Ghost Husband, his body covered in sword wounds and blood, slowly crawled out of the crevice created by the swords.
His gaze at Luo Ruying was filled only with ruthlessness and venom.
If he hadn't, in the Miasma Poison barrier, deployed his Celestial-Rank treasure, the Celestial Silkworm Heavenly Armor, in time to block in front of him, he truly would have lost his life to that sword!
Even his Celestial Silkworm Heavenly Armor had been shattered by a single sword strike!
As expected, when facing someone from the Celestial Realm, even if her cultivation had regressed to the Celestial God Realm, one could not afford to be careless in the slightest!
Luo Ruying looked at her Ghost Husband, who was still alive, and surprise flashed across her face.
He actually didn't die?!
What to do…?
In her current condition, let alone swinging a second sword, even moving was difficult.
However, the Ghost Husband's condition didn't seem to be any better than hers.
Perhaps there was still a chance to kill him!
Otherwise, once he caught his breath, Ning Yechen and the child would be in danger!
Just as Luo Ruying was preparing to make one last desperate attempt, something even more despairing happened!
Two figures flew over from the sky.
Su Sheng and Lu Jian looked down at the Ghost Husband on the ground, their expressions full of mockery and sarcasm.
"Old Ghost, didn't I say we should send a signal first when we found her?"
"You weren't planning on hogging all the credit, were you?"
"Looks like, not only did you fail to get it all to yourself, but you also got a good beating."
Faced with the cold ridicule of Su Sheng and Lu Jian, the Ghost Husband was extremely angry, but he could do nothing.
With his current injuries, it was absolutely impossible for him to take down Luo Ruying alone.
It wasn't impossible that these two would take advantage of his weakness and kill him!
Luo Ruying saw Su Sheng and Lu Jian, and despair welled up within her.
These two were also in league with the Ghost Husband!
