Chapter 193: Everyone's Been Waiting for This Day!
At this moment, the Slit-mouthed Woman realized something was wrong. She no longer cared about Du Da, who was enveloped by black arcs of electricity on the ground, and her spirit body transformed into wisps of Yin Qi, attempting to flee the area.
Zhong Siyu seemed to have anticipated this. The moment the Slit-mouthed Woman's spirit body transformed into Yin Qi and began to dissipate, she suddenly opened her mouth and inhaled sharply—
Similar wisps of Yin Qi appeared, but these wisps showed no intention of escaping. Instead, they trapped all the Yin Qi that the Slit-mouthed Woman's spirit body had transformed into, and then, under a powerful suction, slowly converged towards Zhong Siyu's open mouth.
The Yin Qi formed from the Slit-mouthed Woman's spirit body struggled violently, but no matter how hard she fought, she couldn't break free from Zhong Siyu's control. She could only watch in horror as the Yin Qi of her spirit body gradually drew closer to Zhong Siyu.
Zhong Siyu's actions were now quite obvious. She intended to devour the Slit-mouthed Woman, restore her spirit body, and increase her own strength.
Although Zhong Siyu was severely injured at this moment, and her strength was far from her peak, her cultivation realm was still there, after all.
She was an Evil Spirit (evil spirit), while the Slit-mouthed woman was merely an Evil Spirit (evil spirit). Moreover, the Slit-mouthed Woman had just been affected by the Yin thunder, her spirit body wounded, and her strength weakened, making it impossible for her to escape Zhong Siyu's control.
A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Zhong Siyu was determined to devour the Slit-mouthed Woman; how could she possibly let her escape?
Amidst a sharp, bloodcurdling scream filled with intense unwillingness, the Yin Qi formed from the Slit-mouthed Woman's spirit body was swallowed whole by Zhong Siyu.
Licking her lips, Zhong Siyu wore a sinister smile, her face etched with satisfaction.
Strangely, Deng Feng did not interrupt her from beginning to end, nor did he seize the opportunity to attack her. Although the process of her devouring the Slit-mouthed Woman didn't last long, for a master, that amount of time was enough to accomplish many things. Seizing the chance, it wouldn't have been impossible to eliminate an opponent.
Yet Deng Feng did no such thing. Not only did he not seize the opportunity to attack Zhong Siyu, he didn't even show any intention of disturbing her.
This was clearly abnormal. One must remember that Zhong Siyu was Du Da's ally at this moment, while Deng Feng was Zhong Siyu's enemy!
"Is this meager ability worth your extreme caution? " Zhong Siyu's gaze fixed on Deng Feng, a sinister smile on her face as she spoke.
This scene left the other Night Watchers present dumbfounded, seemingly still unable to grasp what was truly happening.
Although Yang Haoran appeared puzzled on the surface, he understood perfectly what was truly going on.
"This old man's strength is only average, but he's cunning. To lure him out of the shadows, if the act isn't convincing enough, how could he fall for it? " Deng Feng said to Zhong Siyu, a cold sneer on his face.
Due to his severe injuries, Deng Feng's face was deathly pale and bloodless at this moment. Combined with the considerable exhaustion seemingly caused by him just activating the formation flags to unleash Yin thunder, his voice now betrayed a sense of weakness.
"What you want to do is your business; I can't and won't interfere. However, to cooperate with your little play, I invested a huge price. Not only was the Ghost Building destroyed, my subordinates killed, but even my own spirit body was severely wounded. The extent of my losses should be obvious, provided you're not blind, right?"
Upon hearing Zhong Siyu's words, the other Night Watchers present finally understood. It turned out that Zhong Siyu had not only failed to save Du Da but had instead devoured Du Da's Guardian Yin Spirit. It was all because she had been acting with Deng Feng the entire time; the so-called alliance with Du Da was nothing more than a deception.
Upon hearing Zhong Siyu's words, Deng Feng merely gave a cold chuckle, offering no reply.
Zhong Siyu's sinister smile froze, then her brow furrowed, a displeased expression appearing on her face.
"You're not planning to go back on your word, are you? " Zhong Siyu asked coldly.
"I naturally won't go back on what I promised you. It's only five Evil Spirits (Evil Spirits); I can still produce that much. However, we agreed from the start that I would only hand over the goods *after* the matter was concluded. Why are you panicking now? " Deng Feng asked with a cold chuckle.
Zhong Siyu's anger turned into laughter, the ferocity on her face sending shivers down one's spine.
"After it's done? I think you're just trying to default on your debt! Du Da is lying right there. All you have to do is give him another stab before his soul dissipates, then forcibly extract his soul. Wouldn't your objective be achieved then?"
Zhong Siyu believed her words were unassailable, for in her eyes, it was indeed the truth. Du Da lay unconscious, and killing him to seize his soul before the black electric arcs could cause his complete Soul Transformation would be as easy as snatching something from a bag.
That way, Deng Feng would not only eliminate the menace that was Du Da but also obtain Du Da's soul, thus naturally achieving his objective.
However, in response to her words, Deng Feng shook his head, the cold sneer on his face deepening a few shades, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
"Who said my objective has been achieved? If it were merely to deal with Du Da, it wouldn't be worth such a grand mobilization on my part."
Noticing the anomaly in Deng Feng's words and expression, Zhong Siyu's blood-red eyes narrowed. She asked with a sinister smile, "What do you mean by that?"
Deng Feng burst into laughter and said, "Do you think everything I said to you tonight was part of an act? You're wrong. Everything I said was the truth."
As soon as he spoke, Deng Feng dropped the cold sneer from his face, his expression suddenly turning serious. He formed a hand seal once more and chanted an incantation, activating the main formation flag of the Yin Thunder Formation!
Influenced by the main formation flag, the Yin Thunder Formation below once again flared with brilliant light. Amidst the violent flickering of black electric arcs, another bolt of Yin thunder, as thick as a bucket, condensed and struck down towards Zhong Siyu in the sky!
In truth, he had wanted to attack earlier when Zhong Siyu was devouring the Slit-mouthed Woman. However, he wasn't an Array Master and didn't understand many of the intricate techniques. Therefore, activating the main formation flag to condense Yin thunder would consume too much of his Spirit Power. Coupled with his injuries, he couldn't continuously conjure two bolts of Yin thunder; he needed to rest and adjust before condensing a second one.
Otherwise, he would have acted long ago; why would he waste so many words on Zhong Siyu?
The instant Deng Feng formed his hand seal, Zhong Siyu knew he was about to attack her. Without a moment's hesitation, her spirit body immediately transformed into wisps of Yin Qi, scattering in all directions!
Boom!
With a deafening blast, the Yin thunder unleashed by the formation struck one of the wisps of Yin Qi, instantly blasting it into oblivion!
Deng Feng's face fell. He hadn't expected Zhong Siyu to be so cunning, pulling such a trick at this critical moment. He had expended a large amount of Spirit Power to condense another bolt of Yin thunder, only for it to strike just one wisp of Yin Qi from Zhong Siyu's scattered spirit body!
The Yin Qi re-condensed, reforming into Zhong Siyu's Blood-Clad appearance. However, compared to before, Zhong Siyu's spirit body had become significantly more ethereal.
After devouring the Slit-mouthed woman, although she couldn't fully absorb and refine the Slit-mouthed woman in such a short time, with an Evil Spirit (evil spirit) like her as a supplement, Zhong Siyu had still recovered sometime in a brief period.
But what truly enraged her internally was that her spirit body, which had just begun to recover, was now directly knocked back to its original state by a single bolt of Deng Feng's Yin thunder.
Not only was she knocked back to her original state, but she had lost even more. At this moment, compared to before she devoured the Slit-mouthed Woman, her spirit body had become even weaker.
Although the Yin thunder only scattered one wisp of Yin Qi, that wisp was a part of her spirit body that had dispersed. To put it simply, it was a fragment of her spirit body. Now that it was scattered by the Yin thunder, the impact on her was, of course, considerable.
"You're quite clever, but since I've already ripped off the pretense with you, then tonight, you must die. No one can save you! " Deng Feng said coldly, his face grim.
Zhong Siyu wore a sinister smile, her scarlet eyes filled with icy killing intent. Her gaze, fixed on Deng Feng, was like that of a ferocious beast eyeing its prey.
"You think you're the only smart one, and everyone else is a fool? You know how to play these schemes and tricks, but do you think I haven't made any preparations? There's something I want to tell you too: I've been waiting for this day for a very long time!"
