The two charged in; Huan Qing Yan opening a path while Ji Mo Ya followed behind.
Huan Qing Yan blasted away countless puppets and a short moment later, she saw a faint warm glow afar. It was emitted by Little Treasure’s White Marsh Spirit Treasure.
However, the glow was feeble and was wrapped by layers of Devil Energy.
White Marsh’s Light Attribute might be the nemesis of Darkness, but its strength was still lacking.
Little Treasure’s condition was dire and had already become unconscious. The protection on him was formed purely through instinct.
Huan Qing Yan became anxious and transformed into a phoenix with a twist of her body and charged forward!
Just as Huan Qing Yan was about to arrive, a pitch-black Devil Energy wave appeared and blocked her.
This Devil Energy was extremely thick, close to the point of condensing into a physical form.
It took a giant humanoid form and even possessed facial features, just that it was very blurry.
The Devil Man stretched out both hands, one grabbing at Huan Qing Yan while the other went for Little Treasure.
When the arm circled around Little Treasure, the glow protecting him turned even fainter. It looked like candlelight that was on the verge of burning out and extinguishing!
“Little Treasure!”
Huan Qing Yan shouted and wanted to rush forward, but her body felt trapped like in a quagmire and was unable to muster any strength!
The Devil Man did not seem very powerful, so Huan Qing Yan clawed at the arm. She managed to dissipate it, but it turned into Devil Energy.
The Devil Energy was tough to deal with and trapped Huan Qing Yan even further.
“Fu…”
A jet of flames shot out from the phoenix’s mouth and instantly thinned the Devil Energy significantly!
However, the Devil Man did not retreat and continued to send Devil Energy to bind her.
The action had caused its giant body to slowly shrink.
It was evident that it plans to hold down Huan Qing Yan while infecting Little Treasure first!
It was incredible that this being formed from Devil Energy possessed intelligence.
Huan Qing Yan has no time to think much about this. She saw how precarious it was for Little Treasure yet was unable to free herself. Her heart was burning with anxiety while sweat poured out of her forehead!
It was at that moment when a figure suddenly dashed out!
It was the Ji Mo Ya who had fallen behind and he had just caught up.
Ji Mo Ya had witnessed the situation clearly and immediately charged towards Little Treasure without stopping!
He sent several powerful palm strikes and managed to dissipate some of the Devil Energy around Little Treasure, but more started surrounding again!
“Poof!”, the last trace of light around Little Treasure extinguished!
With the floodgates opened, the tendrils of Devil Energy dived towards Little Treasure!
“Little Treasure!” Huan Qing Yan paled from shock!
“Roar!” Ji Mo Ya utter a low growl. His body instantly turned red, and with a boom, flames covered his entire person!
At this crucial moment, he unhesitantly used his Heart’s Fire to ignite himself!
The humanoid flaming man burned all the surrounding Devil Energy, but Little Treasure remained unharmed.
The phoenix in the sky turned enraged. It ignored everything and repeatedly shot jets of fire.
She struggled free from the Devil Energy after much difficulty. However, when she looked ahead and within the blazing fire, there was no human figure.
In the end, the human-shaped flames seem to have turned.
An invisible gaze appears to be coming from the fire and looking at Huan Qing Yan…
It vaguely uttered three words.
I am sorry…
Just sorry, and not begging for her forgiveness…
After a long while, the flames extinguished and turned into a pile of ashes!
