Fu Sui was at the very end of the team. Hearing Zhong Yaya's voice, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. The scene before him horrified him. Fu Sui wanted to step in to help, but it was too late.
The speed and strength of the evil god were extremely terrifying. Moreover, it wasn't afraid of the talismans at all. For a moment, he was at a loss!
If only there was someone as powerful as his great - grandfather at the competition venue...
Fu Sui couldn't bear to watch any longer. He slowly closed his eyes, but the expected scream didn't come.
Just as the evil god's palm was about to fall, Zhong Yaya felt two sharp whistling sounds of breaking wind coming from above her head.
Zhong Yaya looked up in a daze. A few strands of her hair were cut off by the palm wind of the evil god.
The huge hand was frozen in mid - air. Several extremely thin threads were deeply embedded in the evil god's hand, restricting its movement.
The crowd was instantly stunned and let out exclamations.
Fu Sui followed the red threads and saw that the ends were firmly held in Yu Nian's hand.
Yu Nian stood sideways, and her strength was actually on par with that of the evil god. Her arms were fair and slender, but at this moment, there was an inexplicable aura of remaining immovable even when facing a great deal of pressure.
Fu Sui really wanted to ask Yu Nian how she did it, but he knew this wasn't the right time. So he held all his questions back. However, the more he did so, the more curious he became about Yu Nian.
Zhong Yaya finally came to her senses and quickly ran out from under the evil god's palm.
She wiped her tears and said gratefully, "Thank you, Nian Nian..."
Yu Nian's expression was solemn. "It's not time to say thank you yet. Don't gather. Follow the fire talismans and keep running!"
Guided by Yu Nian, everyone gasped and ran to a safe area.
The evil god looked at Yu Nian. As if it had discovered something extremely interesting, it flashed and in the blink of an eye, it was floating in front of Yu Nian!
It stared at Yu Nian greedily with its strange vertical pupils.
Such deep good fortune, such a powerful soul...
If the previous chase of the crowd was just a hunter's game the evil god played out of boredom, then at this moment, the evil god decided to swallow this thin woman whole and occupy her soul for its own use!
The evil god emitted an ominous blood - red light. The black resentment it exhaled formed a thick wall, firmly blocking Yu Nian's way.
Yu Nian remained calm, without a trace of fear. She quickly sized up the evil god in front of her.
Although its upper body was bare, it was covered with hard snake scales. Moreover, the evil god's body was huge, so it was not advisable to attack it head - on with brute force.
Yu Nian looked up at the overcast sky, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She condensed her spiritual power at her fingertips, forming a sharp dagger.
Then she lightly tapped her toes and suddenly rushed towards the woman as her figure flashed.
Yu Nian didn't seem to be in a hurry to launch a full - scale attack. Instead, she kept stabbing the parts of the evil god's body that weren't covered with snake scales with the dagger.
The evil god was huge in size, but it wasn't as flexible as Yu Nian. At this moment, it was roaring wildly. As its sticky snake tail whipped around, a strong hurricane blew up. The surrounding buildings trembled continuously, and countless fine sand and gravel hit people's cheeks. Everyone could hardly stand steadily.
With a loud "boom", several contestants were suddenly swept up by the wind and heavily crashed into the buildings. They instantly lost consciousness and their bodies slumped to the ground. No one knew if they were dead or alive.
Xue Yier opened her eyes with difficulty. "What is Yu Nian doing? Does she want to exhaust the evil god to death?"
The other contestants were also a bit confused.
"Yu Nian's current attacks are like trying to stop boiling water by skimming it off. They won't cause any real harm to the evil god!"
"Yes. We might as well quit the competition now. It's better than losing our lives here!"
Xu Ning struggled to hold onto a thick tree so as not to be blown away.
He shouted at Yu Nian, "Yu Nian! Come back quickly! Don't be so stubborn!"
Yu Nian's figure flipped quickly. Hearing this, she took a quick glance in Xu Ning's direction.
For some reason, Xu Ning suddenly shivered and immediately fell silent.
It took him a while to finally realize that he had actually been intimidated by Yu Nian's single glance... Was this reasonable??
...
There was a lot of discussion around. Feng Chengyuan's eyes always stayed on Yu Nian. Suddenly, he said, "Yu Nian is attacking at extremely ingenious positions. She is deliberately provoking the evil god, trying to gather all the resentment on the evil god together for exorcism."
The faces of the contestants looked even worse. In such a dangerous illusion, just exorcising one person's resentment was already a great test of a cultivator's magical powers. One slight mistake and they might lose their own lives in the illusion. Even if they survived, they would end up half - disabled!
And the evil god in front of them carried the resentment of thousands of people. Trying to exorcise it all at once?
Stop joking. Wasn't this just asking for death?!
The moment he finished speaking, a thick layer of black air enveloped Yu Nian, making her already fair face look completely bloodless.
The evil god, whose eyes had been half - closed, now opened them wide. Its vicious and venomous gaze tightly followed Yu Nian. Its movements were wild and ferocious, as if it wanted to tear her apart and devour her immediately.
The resentment and greed gathered in mid - air, surging and rolling wildly. In the blink of an eye, Yu Nian was completely swallowed by the resentment!
At the same time, the spiritual stone of Yu Nian beside the judge's seat instantly dimmed. It was dead silent, without a single sound.
"Nian Nian!"
The scene was in an uproar. Zhong Yaya suddenly let out a cry and covered her face and cried.
Xue Jinyan suddenly stood up from his seat. Looking at Yu Nian's flickering spiritual stone, he stammered, "Is Yu Nian... being swallowed by the evil god?"
Grandpa Fu suddenly sat up straight from his seat. He stared at the rolling dark clouds without blinking, his expression gloomy.
The expressions of the students and contestants on the scene were all a bit solemn.
Xue Yier slumped to the ground dejectedly. She never thought that Yu Nian would lose her life here.
Suddenly, a loud "rumble" split the sky. The thick, rolling black mist suddenly exploded and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Yu Nian was seen standing calmly in a golden light. On her left wrist was the Bodhi bracelet that Feng Chengyuan had just tied for her.
Everyone on the scene was stunned. After all, who would believe this if it was told?
Yu Nian not only walked out of the bone - crunching demonic miasma of resentment but also exorcised all that resentment!
Grandpa Fu's hanging heart finally settled down. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yu Nian was full of reverence.
Yu Nian calmly exhaled a breath. Then she concentrated, mobilized her spiritual power, and quickly formed two magic seals with her ten fingers in front of her chest. The pale - blue thunder power slowly emerged at her fingertips, constantly making a sizzling sound.
The evil god was also dazed the moment it saw Yu Nian. Then it let out an angry roar and quickly charged towards Yu Nian again.
