Sa---
The sword shadow flashed.
Feng Yu Die's sword slashed from the right side of her neck and out through the left waist, splitting her upper body in two.
Hot blood spattered across Wu Yue's eyes, causing her pupils to shrink.
She couldn't understand. How was her identity exposed?
What's more, she couldn't understand why this silver-haired girl's sword could cut her bones like mud?
She was a *Core Formation* stage cultivator!!
Even if she didn't react at the first moment, it would be impossible for a cultivator in the early stages of *Foundation Building* to cut her body in two with a sword.
"Ah--!!!"
Wu Yue roared and mobilized all her consciousness, accelerating the process so fast that veins popped out on her forehead.
Spiritual energy spread out from her chest.
Time was stretched tens of times in Wu Yue's consciousness.
The color of all things faded at this moment, and the strings of blood froze in mid-air.
But even so, Feng Yu Die's movements in her eyes did not slow down.
Wu Yue was horrified. There was no doubt that this early-stage *Foundation Building* girl was moving so fast that even with all her superior consciousness, she still couldn't keep up.
Feng Yu Die spun around and swung the sword again. The sword edge passed through the column of blood splattered a moment before and crossed with the previous sword's after-image.
This time, the slash went in through Wu Yue's left side of the neck and went out the right side of her waist.
Sa---
Wu Yue's upper body was directly split into four by these two sword cuts.
"Aaah--"
A miserable howl sounded, and along with two sword lights passing through, Wu Yue's entire body was shattered and swept out of the pavilion by the sword wind.
Meanwhile, Ye Anping had already escaped from the pavilion with Li Longling.
Boom--
Just as they got out, there was a loud noise behind them, and the entire pavilion collapsed, burying Wu Yue and Feng Yu Die underneath.
Dust scattered over the edge of the lake.
Ye Anping glanced back at the pavilion. As he held Li Longling's waist with his right hand, he made a sword finger with his left hand upward, in front of his eyebrows, preparing to activate the formation.
Feng Yu Die's *Nine Heavens Sword Technique* was enough to break through Wu Yue's spiritual energy defense and severely damage her body.
However, even if Feng Yu Die chopped Wu Yue into pieces, she still wouldn't be able to kill her.
For those who practiced Ghost cultivation, the body was nothing more than a container that could be replaced at will.
Those people had mastered the art of seizing bodies to the extreme.
In the ***Dragon House*** transcript in the game, Wu Yue was the only *'mechanical BOSS'* among the five types of demonic cultivators.
No matter how many times her health bar was emptied, as long as there was a living cultivator on the team, Wu Yue could forcefully take over that player's soul and possess his body to resurrect.
This was a very overpowering technique, and it could even be said that it had no weak points.
If an ordinary Immortal cultivator wanted to deal with a Ghost cultivator, basically, the fight was whether their own mind or the opponent's mind was exhausted first.
But since it was a mechanism, as long as you knew the proper method, it would be easy to fight.
---Wu Yue's weakness was cold poison.
But before that, he had to cut off her escape route.
Ye Anping made the sword fingers with his left hand in front of his chest, mobilizing spiritual power to spread from the ground through the soles of his feet.
"Rise!"
The five-flag formation he had set up earlier around the lake was activated in sequence from south to north.
Five-colored pillars of light soared into the sky, and the light curtain expanded into a sky-wide hemisphere, covering the entire area around him for a mile.
Just as the formation was activated, Li Longling, who was being held by him, seemed to have come to her senses. Without saying anything, she clenched her fist and swung it at his face.
Whoosh---
Glancing at her, Ye Anping turned his head to dodge and, with a flick of his fingers, threw a black pill into her mouth.
"Ah... cough-"
Li Longling choked on the pill and covered her throat, coughing hard.
In the next moment, Ye Anping hit her on the back of the neck with the edge of his palm. While knocking her unconscious, he forced the pill stuck in her trachea into her stomach.
Li Longling fell straight forward, and Ye Anping cushioned her fall with his right arm, placing her lightly on the ground.
At the same time, two shadows, one black and one white, rushed out from under the collapsed pavilion.
Wu Yue had now abandoned her body and separated her soul from it. At first glance, it looked like a humanoid black mist that settled above them.
Feng Yu Die chased after her with her sword raised and struck her down, but the blade just passed through Wu Yue's body as if it were a shadow.
Feng Yu Die couldn't touch Wu Yue, but Wu Yue was able to touch her, so she raised her knee and hit her in the abdomen, which prompted Feng Yu Die to block it with her sword.
Boom--
"Ouch!!"
The power of a *Core Formation* cultivator was indeed too great. Feng Yu Die failed to fully absorb the force of the knee strike and was shot into the air like a cannonball, straight toward Ye Anping.
Seeing this, Ye Anping hurriedly stepped aside, watching Feng Yu Die pass by him and smash into some rocks behind him.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Wu Yue stood in the air, gasping as she looked at the brilliant formation around her. She could tell at a glance that this was a formation for trapping her here, and she glared at Ye Anping angrily.
"You're just two early-stage *Foundation Building* cultivators..."
Ye Anping raised his right hand and slowly hooked his little finger. "Come!"
Wu Yue almost broke into pieces seeing a *Foundation Building* cultivator calling her in defiance.
"Outrageous!!!"
The loud cry echoed through the forest, and Wu Yue suddenly condensed into a black shadow. With her hand stretched like a claw, she rushed at Ye Anping, ready to rip out his heart. However, Ye Anping didn't even blink.
When her claws were about to touch his chest, a dark shadow flashed out of the nearby forest.
Sa---
An icy blue light flashed, then split into six before turning into a square grid of sword energy, isolating Wu Yue.
Pei Lianxue arrived at Ye Anping's side with the sword in hand. After striking with it, she placed her left hand, in sword fingers form, in front of her chest and released spiritual energy.
White frost began to spread in all directions from where her feet touched the ground.
Wherever her spiritual energy swept over, the vegetation and soil were instantly stained with frost.
"Extremely yin spiritual energy?" Wu Yue's eyes widened, and she hurriedly retreated, but she calmed down after backing a few feet. "You, girl..."
Extremely Yin spiritual roots?
Wu Yue stared wide-eyed, but soon a trace of joy appeared in her eyes. She felt that she was truly lucky to meet someone here who seemed to have pure water spiritual roots that only existed in legends.
"Heh... if it's delivered to my door, I'll accept it."
Wu Yue waved her hand, and her figure shrunk into a ball before turning into a pill-sized black mist that burrowed directly between Pei Lianxue's eyebrows.
The impact made Pei Lianxue take a step back, but Ye Anping supported her.
"Concentrate."
"Um."
Pei Lianxue nodded and sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on circulating energy.
"Ah--!!!"
After a while, Wu Yue's spirit emerged from Pei Lianxue's body with a scream.
"You girl took so much cold poison?! Do you want to die?!"
Wu Yue looked at Pei Lianxue in disbelief. She had just invaded her soul realm and was about to take over her, but she found that her meridians were filled with poisonous spiritual energy.
Ye Anping smiled at this. Before they came, he and Pei Lianxue had ingested a whole bottle of poisonous pills.
Now, they were like two sea urchins to Wu Yue. If she wanted to take over their bodies by force, she would be overwhelmed by poison, and her soul would be destroyed.
"How does the specially prepared Soul-Breaking pill taste?"
"..."
Wu Yue stared at Ye Anping, feeling that these two people were incomprehensible.
But she didn't have much time to waste on Ye Anping.
After the soul left the body, it would continue to consume soul power. Not to mention the extremely yin aura of the girl in front of her, she was also contaminated by the cold poison of the Soul-Breaking pills when she wanted to seize her body.
If she didn't find a corpse to take over, she probably wouldn't last more than a quarter of an hour before she had to dissipate completely.
The next moment, Wu Yue's eyes stopped on Li Longling lying on the ground at Ye Anping's feet.
When she was about to seize Li Longling's body, Ye Anping warned her. "I just fed her the Soul-Breaking pill. Are you sure you want to take over her?"
"...You!!"
Wu Yue glared at him, and finally, her gaze moved over to Feng Yu Die, who was trying to get out of the stones.
Ye Anping noticed her line of sight and was surprised. He quickly took out his sword from his storage bag and rushed forward.
"Don't even think about it!!"
"Hehe!!!"
Wu Yue sneered and easily dodged Ye Anping's sword, kicked him away, and then rushed straight toward Feng Yu Die.
Feng Yu Die's right hand was still stuck in the stone, and she was trying desperately to pull it out when she suddenly heard Xiao Tian's warning. *"Feng Yu Die! It's coming!"*
"Shit!!"
Feng Yu Die turned around, and seeing Wu Yue rushing toward her, she hurriedly tried to block with her sword.
However, Wu Yue passed through the sword in her hand and entered directly into the center between her eyebrows.
When Xiao Tian, who was flying near her head, saw this, she frowned and cursed. *"Hiss---you want to take over my house?"*
Immediately, she also turned into a golden light and followed Wu Yue as she crashed into Feng Yu Die's forehead.
Two spirits suddenly invaded her soul realm, and Feng Yu Die felt as if her head had been hit by a hammer, and her vision blurred for a while.
Ye Anping looked in the direction of Feng Yu Die. He shook his head and sighed. "It's not good to seize anyone's body, but hers really isn't a good idea."
He had prepared many methods.
Two formations were borrowed from Liang Zhu. One was to prevent Wu Yue from escaping, the other was to kill her. In addition, Liang Zhu was also at a slightly higher place, waiting for his signal to strike Wu Yue's forehead with a formation spell that took a long time to prepare.
But now it seemed that these last resorts of his were useless.
Ye Anping shrugged and got a bottle of pills from his storage bag. He took out three pills, swallowed one himself, gave one to Pei Lianxue, then walked to Li Longling's side, picking her up from the ground and pinching her cheeks to open her mouth.
Seeing this, Pei Lianxue hastily reached out to stop him. "I'll do it..."
"It's okay, she didn't vomit blood, and she doesn't need artificial respiration."
Ye Anping shoved the pill he held deep into Li Longling's throat, forcing it into her esophagus with his fingers, then grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently.
"That worked..."
Pei Lianxue looked at him blankly and nodded. "Oh. Good..."
