The emergency lights on both sides of the corridor came on. By the red light of the emergency lights, those who had originally been sitting at their workstations slowly shuffled towards us, dragging their battered bodies one by one.
Those people looked like zombies in a zombie movie, covered in blood, their bodies skewed, and their blood - red eyes looking at me like starving ghosts seeing food, greedy and ferocious.
When I turned around again, the skin on Li Xiaoqian's face could no longer hold on, cracking into patches of various sizes.
As her skin fell off, a black - gray, fire - scorched looking woman emerged from her body.
That face was simply terrifying. I didn't believe it when Er Shuai told me before, but now seeing it in person, the heart - wrenching and soul - shattering direct impact was the most terrifying thing.
She looked as if she had climbed out of a mud pit. Blood was intertwined in her grayish - white skin. When she opened her mouth, the corners of her mouth stretched all the way to her ears, revealing sharp teeth like steel nails.
So this was the real appearance after transforming into a demon at the full moon. Once she transformed into this form, it was when her power was at its strongest.
I saw Man Yue raise her hand high, and in her hand, there was actually a Demon - Subduing Pestle.
The Demon - Subduing Pestle was an ancient magical weapon, a well - known tool for subduing demons and tigers.
Its magical power grew stronger when facing stronger opponents. It was said that even the great demons who were going through tribulations had fallen at its hands.
This Man Yue was no ordinary person. Where did she get the Demon - Subduing Pestle?
The moment Jun He saw the Demon - Subduing Pestle, even he, who was usually fearless, showed a moment of timidity that I could sense.
After Man Yue transformed into a demon, her eyes seemed like X - ray vision and she recognized me at a glance.
"Yin Bone, you're really Lan Chiyu. You actually came here on your own initiative. I don't have to go looking for you myself. Give me your life..."
Her voice was shrill with a woman's venomous undertone. The dual - toned voice was so sharp it hurt my ears.
As soon as she finished speaking, her body was like a boneless snake, coiling towards me.
Seeing this, Jun He drew his weapon to fight against her. When the two weapons clashed, two powerful beams of light, black and gold, shot out, causing desks and chairs in the entire studio to fly everywhere. The glass and windows shattered, making a thunderous noise. The powerful light illuminated the dark room like daylight.
At first, Jun He could hold his own against her.
However, the Demon - Subduing Pestle in Man Yue's hand was extremely powerful. When Jun He's sword clashed with it.
The Demon - Subduing Pestle immediately sensed the demonic energy, and a beam of golden light shot out from it, rushing into my chest at the speed of light along the sword.
Jun He held on stubbornly, determined to fight to the end. But as time went on, the Demon - Subduing Pestle seemed to be able to absorb demonic energy. The demonic energy around Jun He on my body was constantly being absorbed by the Demon - Subduing Pestle.
If this continued, he would surely be drained of his demonic energy by the Demon - Subduing Pestle and die.
"Jun He, get out of my body quickly." I called out to Jun He in my heart. At this moment, our heart - pulses were connected, and he could hear my thoughts.
"No. If I leave, she will take your Yin Bone. I said I would protect you, and I will protect you for a lifetime."
Jun He gritted his teeth as he spoke. The Demon - Subduing Pestle was in Man Yue's hands.
Skin began to grow on her arms. Her fair and delicate skin spread up her arms and wrapped around her body.
Man Yue's beautiful face appeared in front of me again, but she was no longer the innocent and charming girl. She was a cold - blooded and scheming woman.
"I didn't expect you could really heal all things. No wonder Gu Yuan nourished me in your body. Now that Bai Xiangjun has been taken to the underworld, there's no one in this world to restrain me. Now, as long as I grab your Yin Bone and take the Soul Seal from your chest, I will replace you in this world and live with Gu Yuan. Let's see who can stop me."
This woman was clearly blinded by Gu Yuan. I didn't know what she was talking about.
Now was not the time to think about what she said. Jun He was really about to lose his strength.
Looking at Jun He, I thought of Bai Qi again. I didn't want Jun He to end up like Bai Qi.
Just thinking about it, my chest suddenly burned. I slowly closed my eyes and then suddenly opened them, staring firmly at the Demon - Subduing Pestle that was still absorbing demonic energy. Suddenly, my eye sockets burned, and a powerful purple light burst out from my eyes, directly piercing through the Demon - Subduing Pestle in Man Yue's hand.
The Demon - Subduing Pestle flew out of her hand. My body trembled violently, and Jun He, who was originally possessing me, was directly shaken out of my body.
His body soared into the air and crashed into the crowd behind him.
Man Yue didn't expect me to have such amazing power. She quickly took a few steps back, and her smooth body hit the wall. There was no trace of her former graceful beauty.
I glared angrily at the woman in front of me. She slowly got up from the ground, completely naked, but she showed no sign of shame.
I picked up Jun He's long sword on the ground. With a powerful aura around me, I strode towards Man Yue.
Man Yue widened her eyes and watched me approaching. Fear flashed in her eyes.
When I was almost in front of her, I waved my arm in the air and threw the curtain in front of me in front of her.
Man Yue grabbed the curtain and quickly tied it in front of her chest. She rolled on the ground, picked up Lin Pingxi, whose essence had been drained by her before, and threw him at me.
At this moment, Lin Pingxi had turned into a mummy and was already dead. Without hesitation, I swung my sword and cut the mummy in half.
The sword energy was like a rainbow. The mummy split to the left and right like a piece of cloth being torn in the middle.
"Capture her for me. Don't leave her alive. I only want her Yin Bone." Man Yue shouted at the corpses she had controlled.
Those zombie - like corpses swarmed towards me.
I held the sword in my hand and swept it across these people whose consciousness was controlled by Man Yue. The long sword with several evil - suppressing talismans swept through the crowd, and all the people in the studio fell to the ground and fainted.
Man Yue was completely stunned. At this moment, Jun He pressed his chest, his demonic energy leaking out. His devil - like eyes were full of hatred.
"You're still too young to kill me." Jun He waved his arm, and there were howls outside the window. The unique cries of demons echoed in the studio.
The sound made the people around us have splitting headaches. They covered their heads and cried out in pain.
Oh no, Jun He's demonic nature was too strong, and he was starting to lose control of himself.
"Jun He, stop. Calm your mind and hold your breath."
But at this moment, Jun He had completely gone berserk and couldn't hear my words.
Outside the studio, the evil spirits and ghosts that had squeezed into the elevator with me before all climbed in through the doors and windows.
Their blood - red eyes stared directly at us. Like heartless monsters, they swarmed towards Man Yue and me.
