"Hiss..."
A large amount of pus was corroding the net formed by Space Power.
With a flash of silver light, Ba Shu pulled away to create distance.
Looking at the venom splattered on the ground, a trace of disgust flashed in Ba Shu’s eyes.
"Truly ugly... a True Form Release that even oneself can’t control."
Ba Shu wasn’t referring to the appearance of the Yin Yi Elder, but to the use of such uncontrollable power, ultimately ending up with a backlash from the Power of Soul.
Last time it was Fidis, and this time it’s this Yin Yi Elder.
Ba Shu had already figured it out, these people didn’t completely master True Form Release.
Instead, they forcibly stimulated the potential of their Power of Soul in some way to achieve True Form Release for the sake of Strength.
That’s why, when they are weak, there would be a backlash from the Power of Soul.
Shaking her head, Ba Shu looked up into the distance and saw He Zheng watching her warily from afar.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, He Zheng asked in a firm voice, "I remember, you’re the Transformed Demon Beast caught by Third Rank Su last time, aren’t you?"
"Indeed, it’s me," Ba Shu responded with a soft laugh and a nod.
"What do you want?"
"Can’t you see, I came to kill," Ba Shu chuckled helplessly, "I was in seclusion, but you humans barged in, so I was forced to come."
He Zheng’s heart sank as he gripped the wolf-hair brush tightly.
But Ba Shu released the True Form Release and said with a smile, "Don’t be nervous, I have little interest in you."
He Zheng dared not relax his vigilance, given his current state; even without True Form Release, it would be difficult to handle her.
However, she did indeed save him earlier.
Ba Shu smiled and asked, "I’m curious, is Mr. Su Yuan here as well?"
"What are you asking about Third Rank Su for?"
He Zheng became even more cautious, as Third Rank Su had previously defeated her and tied her up. Could she be seeking revenge on Third Rank Su?
Ba Shu laughed, "Because among humans, he’s the only one I find interesting~"
He Zheng looked at Ba Shu’s friendly yet unreadable expression, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you want a fight, fight. I can’t divulge any information about Third Rank Su!"
"Heh, you’re quite loyal," Ba Shu chuckled and suddenly pointed in a direction, "No wonder you had those little ones run first~"
He Zheng’s expression darkened; he hadn’t expected Ba Shu to be so perceptive, spotting Lou Yuntian and the others from afar.
Her words clearly intended to threaten him with Lou Yuntian and the others.
Narrowing his eyes, He Zheng tightened his grip on the wolf-hair brush, unwilling to say more to Ba Shu, ready to buy some time for Lou Yuntian and the others.
Seeing that He Zheng was about to take action, Ba Shu laughed, "What, you want to harm the one who saved you? Is this how your world treats people?"
Rest assured, since Mr. Su Yuan spared me, I naturally won’t attack him now... at least for now.
And, I’m not asking you to reveal his whereabouts; just tell me if he’s here or not~"
He Zheng looked at Ba Shu, and after a moment of contemplation, nodded slightly.
"There you go," Ba Shu smiled and then turned to leave.
"Why did you help me?" He Zheng called after her.
"Since you’re his subordinate and he spared me, I’ll spare you~
Besides, I’ve already killed two Burning Suns, and that’s enough for practice."
He Zheng felt a complex mix of emotions.
Previously, he had doubts about Third Rank Su; who would have thought that he would owe his life to Su’s actions...
"By the way, a piece of advice," Ba Shu, already some distance away, turned around and looked at He Zheng’s pus-covered left hand, "If you don’t act decisively, your whole body won’t hold out~"
He Zheng’s heart sank, sensing that his left arm had become a source of poison.
Earlier, the Four Symbols Fusion Spirit was shattered, and he suffered massive poison invasion.
Other areas could still endure, but the left arm, which was poisoned first, had poison sinking into the bone, still trying to spread through his body.
With a determined look, He Zheng formed a sword with his fingers and slashed at his left arm, cutting it off.
"Ugh!"
He grunted, blood gushing from his shoulder, but the internal pressure from suppressing the poison significantly lessened.
After swiftly stopping the bleeding, He Zheng looked up, only to find that Ba Shu had vanished.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, He Zheng felt a complex mix of emotions...
Soon, Lou Yuntian and the others came over.
"He Imperial Envoy! Are you okay?"
"I’m fine, it’s just a lost arm," He Zheng replied, shaking his head.
