Aunt Caiyun, who was sitting cross-legged, quickly chanted the mantra as she faced the savage spirit king. Not long after, a halo of light appeared around her body.

I was both anxious and helpless. I knew that my aunt was trying her best to get rid of me, but there was nothing I could do. I originally wanted to use the Art of Soulreaper, but now that I have used it, I'm afraid I won't be able to save Aunt Caiyun.

This was because Aunt Caiyun had already made the decision to sacrifice herself, and right now, she had already raised the cultivation experience in her body to the limit.

As the saying went, once the bow was pulled back, Aunt Caiyun had used her most powerful move. Even if she was replaced now, she would be injured or even killed by the backlash.

The most important thing was to defeat the Demon Queen, and also to use the purple gold gourd to absorb Jade Edge Division's Daoist Priest's soul, so as to return and explain things to the True Jade Monastery.

Of course, these small matters are not the most important. The main thing is that even if I use the Art of Soulreaper, I do not have complete confidence in winning. After all, I only used the Art of Soulreaper at an early stage.

If I lose, Aunt Caiyun will use her most powerful move. At that time, I'm afraid the outcome will be different.

At this point, no matter how much I thought about it, my heart would not be able to do anything. I only hoped that Aunt Caiyun's desperate attacks would have the desired effect, so her sacrifice was not in vain.

After Caiyun's actions, the halo around her became more and more clear, and she actually began to slowly disappear into the halo. In the end, she turned into a ball of pink light, crystal clear and beautiful.

As for the Demon King, he did not make a move. He just stood there and silently watched, as if he was not afraid at all.

Suddenly, the ball of light formed by Caiyun's Aunty soared into the sky, shooting glaring pink lights at the Monster King. It was already very close to the Monster King, and its speed was extremely fast, causing every ray of light to heavily hit the Monster King's body.

Following that, the Monster King let out a blood-curdling screech as the light around his body flickered. What was even more terrifying was the blood-curdling screeches that sounded like they came from tens of thousands of people.

I stared blankly at the ball of light in the sky. Every attack I sent out would make the ball of light shrink a little. Until now, it was only the size of a fist.

On the other hand, the Demon King, who had been screaming miserably all this time, only let out a miserable scream as though nothing had happened to him.

Looking at this scene, I completely panicked. Could it be that Aunt Caiyun's all-out attack was ineffective? If that's the case, it'll be disastrous. I clearly know that when the ball of light disappears, if the Monster King is still not defeated, then Aunt Caiyun's sacrifice will be in vain.

Ah …

Inside the cave, the screams of the Demon King continuously rang out. It lingered around the entire cave for a long time, and before the sound could fade away, new screams rang out once again, deafening everyone.

Finally … The ball of light that Aunt Caiyun transformed into disappeared, and the last strike also landed on the Demon King's body, causing the Demon King to let out a final scream, after which everything calmed down.

I looked at the Demon King, who was still in good condition, and felt extremely grieved. I was sad because I was Caiyun's aunt, but I didn't expect her to be unable to defeat the Demon King even after sacrificing her own life.

Alright, it seems that I have no other choice but to fight it out. Thinking about this, I secretly circulated the power of the Art of Soulreaper to fill my hands. My eyes were filled with anger as I stared at the Monster King, trying to find an opportunity to strike it.

As for the Demon King, after being struck by a series of attacks, he had entered a long period of silence, as if he had died.

But I know, the Monster King didn't really die. From the light that was still dancing around his body, he is probably doing self-recovery or self-adjustment. This isn't the main point, I definitely won't give him that chance.

I slowly raised my hands to my chest and walked towards Monster King step by step.

When I was still seven or eight meters away from the Monster King, I suddenly heard the Monster King's voice. It was a voice that made me feel very strange. "Benefactor, I am Jade Machine and the Golden-purple Gourd in your hand is my magic item."

"Dao Friend Jade?" Hearing this voice, I was stunned.

Just as I was in a daze, another voice sounded out from the Monster King. Furthermore, this voice was extremely familiar and made me miss it greatly. "Little Tian, don't be fooled. This is the Monster King … "Ahhh!"

"Aunt, Aunt Caiyun, what's wrong?" When I heard about Aunt Caiyun, who I thought was dead, I immediately became confused. I looked straight at the Monster King and angrily said, "Hurry and release my aunt."

"That damned human, she has already become my puppet. If she still dares to spout nonsense, I will definitely teach her a lesson."

Following that, I looked at a certain spot on the Monster King's body, where the light it was emitting was jumping around crazily. At the same time, Aunt Caiyun's screams could be heard nonstop.

Even though I hadn't known Aunt Caiyun for long, she was not only Qingqing's aunt, she was also my mentor and friend. All along the way, she had taught and taken care of me, giving me a sense of safety by her side.

All of this has now become a memory. Now, listening to my aunt's screams, every scream, it was like a knife stabbed into my heart, causing my heart to be filled with grief.

Just as I was about to go crazy, another voice came into my head and reminded me, "Little Tian, you have to be calm. What you see and hear is not real."

I don't know where this sound came from, but hearing this reminder, I suddenly thought of something suspicious. Aunt Caiyun had turned into a ball of light and attacked the Monster King, disappearing in the end, not having her soul devoured by the Monster King.

If that was the case, Aunt Caiyun's words must have been a trick of the Monster King to enrage me and cause me to panic. It wanted to use this opportunity to find a weak point in me and kill me.

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat. Just a little bit more and I would have been tricked by the Monster King.

"Monster King, hurry up and put away your tricks. I won't fall for your trick." I shook my head and shouted angrily at the Monster King.

The Monster King went blank for a moment, then suddenly cackled out loud. "Good boy, to think you could actually see through my scheme. However, this doesn't matter. You will sooner or later become my food."

"Today, I swear I will kill you. Monster King, hand over your life!" After I finished speaking, I wanted to use the power of the Art of Soulreaper.

However, the Monster King suddenly said, "Wait, even if you want to die, you don't have to be in such a hurry. Can you tell me just what is that powerful energy in your body?"
