Fu Sui didn't hesitate any longer. He quickly took out a magical artifact from his pocket—a Bagua mirror.
Everyone was a bit surprised when they saw the intricate patterns carved on the mirror surface.
"The Moonlight Bagua Mirror! Fu Sui truly lives up to his status as the young master of the Fu family. We're saved this time!"
The moonlight on the campus was completely blocked. An ordinary Bagua mirror could only exert half of its power under such circumstances.
But this Bagua mirror was different. The mirror surface emitted a silvery - white light from within, just like the moonlight.
Fu Sui quickly formed hand seals and chanted spells, then suddenly rushed towards Luo Ning and Ji Jia in the middle of the black mist.
Fu Sui originally thought this would be a sure - win attack, but he didn't expect that both Luo Ning and Ji Jia reacted extremely quickly. They dodged Fu Sui's attack easily with a flash of their figures.
Fu Sui's face froze. He thought something was wrong.
He wanted to withdraw, but it was already too late.
The resentment was even thicker than before, firmly enveloping Fu Sui in it. In the blink of an eye, his clothes were torn, and there were several fine wounds on his body.
Luo Ning waved her hands, and a powerful impact suddenly sent Fu Sui flying.
Fu Sui's face turned deathly pale from the pain. Before he could land, his neck suddenly tightened. A rope made of black air tightly wrapped around him.
Fu Sui's body involuntarily flew towards the center of the black mist. He constantly bumped into the surrounding buildings and was completely disoriented.
By the time Fu Sui came to his senses, he had fallen at Luo Ning's feet. Luo Ning's eyes were pitch - black, and her fingers were like knives as she suddenly lunged towards Fu Sui's face!
Seeing that Fu Sui was about to be killed by Luo Ning, the judges all changed their expressions.
Xue Jinyan stood up tremblingly and asked Mr. Fu, "Mr. Fu, should we stop the competition immediately?"
Mr. Fu stared at the mysterious mirror for a long time, constantly twirling the prayer beads in his hand. His emotions were hard to read.
It wasn't until Fu Qingxuan saw a familiar figure in the mysterious mirror that he slowly shook his head.
"A competition is a competition. Since they've signed the life - and - death agreement, they must finish it no matter what. If we casually terminate the competition, where is the fairness for the previously eliminated contestants?"
Xue Jinyan returned to his seat awkwardly, feeling shocked.
He had long heard that Mr. Fu was selfless, and now it seemed that was indeed the case. For the fairness of the competition, he didn't even seem to care about the possible death of his great - grandson!
Fu Sui's face turned red. Just as he was about to suffocate, something seemed to fly past his eyes.
That thing suddenly exploded in the air. Amidst the crackling sound, it suddenly tore a large hole in the black mist, and a little light shone in.
Several talisman papers flew out from Yu Nian's hand, criss - crossing and finally forming a tight circle that emitted a golden light. Strange fluctuations of magical power flowed around it, neatly binding Luo Ning and Ji Jia.
Fu Sui's eyes widened suddenly. That was... a talisman chain?!
Luo Ning and Ji Jia's movements paused, and they gave up chasing Fu Sui.
The two fierce ghosts struggled violently in the talisman chain. But as their movements became more intense, the talisman chain tightened more and more.
Yu Nian seized the opportunity and suddenly leaped in front of them. She casually wiped the bloodstain on her arm that was cut by the resentment. After softly chanting a few incantations, she virtually drew two talismans on Luo Ning and Ji Jia.
Yu Nian calculated every step perfectly, quickly and nimbly. Before everyone could react, Luo Ning and Ji Jia's eyes regained clarity. The two ghosts glanced at each other and instantly changed their target of attack. They shrieked and walked towards Qiu Xuan.
The smile on Qiu Xuan's face suddenly froze. Since she had lost her legs, she couldn't run away. She could only watch helplessly as two sharp, sickle - like streaks of resentment gradually enveloped her.
"Aaaaah!!"
Qiu Xuan curled up in pain. The thick resentment rushed into her body all at once. There was hardly a piece of uninjured flesh on her body. She became a blood - covered mess, and the pain was no less than having her bones scraped and flesh cut!
This process was long and torturous. Qiu Xuan was already a bit delirious, but a strange sense of luck suddenly arose in her heart.
In real life, although she had obtained many things she wanted with the power of the evil god, her soul had already been almost completely devoured by the evil god. She had completely become an empty shell.
When she died in depression, the obsession she left behind created this illusion.
While Qiu Xuan trapped everyone's souls in the illusion, she also permanently bound her own soul in Wanjv High School.
Looking at the desolate and dilapidated school, Qiu Xuan didn't feel the slightest bit of sadness.
But when she wandered into the art studio, the voice of Luo Ning would always ring in her ears...
Qiu Xuan didn't know what her obsession was exactly, but at this moment, she felt a bit relieved. The pain she had inflicted on Luo Ning and Ji Jia back then had now all returned to her. It was just like repaying a debt.
Qiu Xuan even hoped that Luo Ning and Ji Jia would be more ruthless. Then, when they had vented their anger and the resentment dissipated, could she also let go of her obsession and leave this world easily?
As Qiu Xuan was lost in thought, a glint of light suddenly flashed in the black mist.
A girl walked out of the darkness.
Qiu Xuan opened her eyes with difficulty and felt that the figure was extremely familiar.
The girl had long, straight black hair. Her back was a bit hunched, and she didn't dare to look people in the eye when she spoke. She looked timid and submissive.
Looking at the familiar face of the girl, Qiu Xuan touched her own face in disbelief: "You..."
The girl stared at Qiu Xuan coldly and suddenly stated, "You regret what you've done."
Qiu Xuan was stunned and subconsciously retorted, "I don't!"
As if she was worried that the girl wouldn't believe her, her tone was a bit angry, and she kept emphasizing, "You're talking nonsense! I've never regretted it!"
Everyone standing outside the resentment could clearly see Qiu Xuan's every move.
Xu Ning was a bit confused and whispered to Yu Nian, "Big brother, if Qiu Xuan doesn't regret it, then so be it. Why is she so angry?"
Yu Nian slightly raised her eyebrows when she heard Xu Ning's address for her, then said calmly, "When people face lies, they usually feel nothing and just brush it off with a smile. But when they're furious at others' words, it's precisely because the other person has hit the nail on the head and touched a sore spot."
Watching Qiu Xuan shouting hoarsely, Luo Ning and Ji Jia slowly stopped their actions. The thick, rolling black mist around them suddenly stopped, and the entire playground returned to silence.
The leaves were slowly floating down. The pain on Qiu Xuan's body suddenly lessened, and the person who looked just like her disappeared without a trace.
She stared blankly up at Luo Ning.
Perhaps because the resentment that had been accumulated for many years had been vented out, Luo Ning and Ji Jia calmed down.
The grievance and sadness on their faces gradually disappeared. In the end, their gazes towards Qiu Xuan were completely expressionless, as if they were looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with them.
For some reason, Qiu Xuan suddenly felt a tightness in her heart.
She would rather Luo Ning and Ji Jia take revenge on her like before than have them be so indifferent now. It seemed that Luo Ning and Ji Jia had really let go. They could leave cleanly, but she alone was still stuck in hatred.
Luo Ning turned to look at Yu Nian and suddenly said, "Sister, I'm tired. I want to go."
Yu Nian was slightly stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Luo Ning took Ji Jia's hand and walked towards Yu Nian slowly without looking back at Qiu Xuan.
Yu Nian stepped forward, softly chanted a few incantations, then looked at the two girls gently with a soft gaze.
"Go home."
The black air around Luo Ning and Ji Jia gradually dissipated. All their wounds disappeared, and their tattered school uniforms returned to their original colors.
The two little girls were just like they had just finished evening self - study. Holding hands and chatting and laughing, they disappeared into the halo in the distance.
