Chapter 691: Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-One: Depths of the Black Fog_2

Despite his injuries, Taishiran disregarded the pain and, while forcefully reigniting his life force to maintain his pace as he continued to pursue Lou Ji, he transmitted a message to Luo Bingli:

"Luo Bingli, this matter concerns a great calamity that affects the whole world, put aside any romantic entanglement! If you bear a grudge, after this matter, I, Taishiran, will offer my daughter’s life in exchange! Quickly kill Xu Changtian!!"

Although the three of them had managed to inflict certain injuries on Lou Ji, given the deranged state of the withered old man, if she got close, they would be instantly killed.

The only one who could stop that woman, Lou Ji, was Luo Bingli, who had just lost her daughter.

Compared to the three cultivators from Jiatiange who had achieved Mortal Transcendence, Lou Ji was in a much better state, but that voluptuous body of hers was also marred by several hideous and terrifying wounds, with blood uncontrollably spilling from the corner of her mouth.

However, at this moment, she could no longer care about her own injuries or the pursuit of those three cultivators from Jiatiange; she sped toward the center of the black fog without slowing down.

There, another cultivator of Mortal Transcendence still remained!

Even if it were a deranged Mortal Transcendence, it was an existence that Changtian and Luo Xiran couldn’t possibly contend with.

What made her even more anxious was that, due to the strange fog obscuring her view, she wasn’t currently able to fully perceive what was happening at the deepest part of the fog.

Lou Ji’s enchanting and seductive voice carried a hint of madness:

"Luo Xiran, protect Changtian, I will soon be able to...."

Before she could finish speaking, a flash of white light appeared, and a woman in a black skirt abruptly materialized on her inevitable path.

Luo Bingli’s voice was very light:

"Lou Ji, you’re not going anywhere."

"......"

Upon seeing this scene, Lou Ji’s purple, magnificent pupils contracted, and a feeling of suffocation she hadn’t experienced in many years gradually welled up in her heart.

She had come face to face with the last person she wanted to see.

The strength of the woman in the black skirt was formidable, even surpassing those Semi-Saints from the burial village.

To repel those obstructing cultivators just now, she had already unleashed her strongest killing move, revealing it to this woman, leaving her with few spellcraft options that could threaten her opponent.

After their initial bout, the opponent had only a partial understanding of her abilities.

With such unequal information, the idea of instantly defeating a peer of the same rank was nothing but a fool’s dream.

Although realizing that she probably couldn’t reach Changtian’s side, Lou Ji still had no hesitation and transformed into a purple light as she charged toward Luo Bingli despite her injured state:

"Rat from the burial village, get out of my way!"

"...."

Luo Bingli didn’t reply, simply standing quietly in her spot, staring at the woman rushing toward her.

After a moment, she felt a familiar Energy Mechanism enveloping her.

Lou Ji had once again covered her with that strange Dao Domain.

Falling into her opponent’s Dao Domain again, Luo Bingli showed no panic in her eyes; the previous encounter had already given her some insights into the Black Scale Leader.

But as Lou Ji drew nearer, Luo Bingli’s surroundings suddenly blossomed with numerous resplendent flowers and vegetation, swirling and falling around her.

Seeing the sudden change, Luo Bingli’s brows furrowed slightly beneath her iron mask.

She hadn’t seen such spellcraft during their previous fight.

However, her keen senses immediately detected the potency of the spellcraft.

These poisonous entities, although all fabricated by Lou Ji using Origin Qi with her Dao Domain, contained toxins nearly as potent as real ones.

There was hallucinogenic poison, aphrodisiac poison, corrosive poison, and even the irresistible Charm God Sakura...

Each one was among the deadliest toxins known; even with her cultivation level, if she were to directly face them, her combat power would drop drastically in an instant.

She needed to avoid it!

As the thought arose, Luo Bingli immediately dismissed it.

Lou Ji’s purpose in using this spellcraft was to block her path, enabling herself to reach Xu Changtian.

As thoughts flashed through her mind, Luo Bingli’s Energy Mechanism surged around her, and a resplendent domain of light unfolded like a deity, with numerous beams of light radiating from her and striking toward the swirling vegetation and flowers that were approaching her.

Soon, the first ray of light struck a seven-petaled purple-chrysanthemum flower.

To Luo Bingli’s alarm, the petal was not dispersed; instead, the light beam passed through it as if it were a ghostly shadow!

Then the second, third, fourth—all without exception, the light beams missed their mark, and the flowers spinning down within Lou Ji’s Dao Domain remained unaffected.

Gravity started to manifest in Luo Bingli’s gaze.

Were all these toxic entities fake?

Or could Lou Ji manipulate these flowers to constantly shift between illusion and reality?

For Qi cultivators like her and Lou Ji, combat involved countering each move, mind games, probing each other, and, ultimately, finding flaws to deliver killing strokes.

And now,

The emergency on Xu Changtian’s end seemed to have left Lou Ji without the patience for such a game, going straight for a killing blow from the outset.

Luo Bingli’s mind raced with thoughts, her time to contemplate running short.

At the instant before the first petal made contact with her body, a bizarre change occurred in Luo Bingli’s Energy Mechanism.

The intricate black skirt and the mournful iron mask fell to the ground, devoid of a body to support them, and Luo Bingli’s flawless figure was suddenly exposed unshielded to the open air. Around her emanated an intense holy light that made it impossible to see her perfect body beneath.
