My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 1275 - 1199: Eliminating Evil

I will take on this karma!

As these words fell, her foot moved, leaping into the air. She swung the Divine Weapon in her hand, striking down the Stone Beast.

The talisman array broke.

A tightly bound Asa by the Xuanhuo Snake let out a furious roar, and the violent yin energy tried to forcibly break free from the fire snake, but the more he struggled, the tighter the snake coiled.

Outside the Array, those who were infected by poisonous insects screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground one by one, some dying quickly and others barely clinging to life.

Yin souls pierced through the Array, attacking and surrounding Si Lengyue, their resentment turning into evil spirits, opening their mouths to bite.

"How dare you!" Qin Liuxi’s Daoist intent burst from her body, transforming into golden light that mercilessly shattered the resentful souls. At the same time, she drew Si Lengyue into her arms for protection.

Si Lengyue released her lifebound gu, flying towards Asa while pulling back the totem, her hands swiftly forming complex magic seals as she sat cross-legged.

Seeing the fire snake retreat, Asa instinctively wanted to flee, but Si Lengyue’s lifebound gu had already entangled him. He immediately understood her intentions.

He had fused with the Gu Soul to become the Gu God, and she wanted her lifebound gu to devour him.

Such audacity!

After realizing Si Lengyue’s intent, Asa decided not to flee. If she wished to devour him, that was fine. He could become the Gu Soul of her lifebound gu; who knows who would prevail in the end.

He actively advanced towards the lifebound gu.

This person wouldn’t miss any chance to survive.

Qin Liuxi immediately saw his ambition and also understood Si Lengyue’s thoughts. While Si Lengyue urged her lifebound gu to battle Asa, she set up a barrier on her and then exited the Array.

She couldn’t help her with devouring the Gu Soul; she could only protect. Besides, she couldn’t allow too many people to die.

"Witch, what have you done to our Ancient Well? Let us in." The chief’s eyes were bloodshot, blood-red threads crawled from his eyes, and his skin began to rot in patches.

"Witch, kill this witch!" A man charged forward, only to be swept away by a flick of Qin Liuxi’s sleeve.

Qin Liuxi looked at the still-surviving villagers, forming a Sealing with her hands. The Spirit Talisman of the Golden Light Divine Spell could temporarily suppress the child poisons in these people, buying time for Si Lengyue.

One after another, the Golden Light Talismans were launched into the children’s bodies, and also women, while she skipped over a few men with murderous auras and fierce faces.

Such people did not deserve to live.

With the talisman suppression, the child poisons indeed did not go rampant. Those people became quiet, some bewildered, but upon seeing the dead around them, they cried out in screams.

Someone shouted "witch," saying they brought disaster to Ancient Well Village and must be burned to death.

The chief fell to the ground with a crash, reaching out to grab Qin Liuxi, making a gurgling sound in his throat before dying in a few moments, his body quickly losing flesh and blood.

Qin Liuxi looked at Si Lengyue, suddenly realizing that the more deaths, the more yin power would feed back into that Evil Gu. Could she win the fight?

"Don’t worry about me." Si Lengyue’s voice came through.

Qin Liuxi withdrew her gaze, knowing cultivation depended on oneself. Si Lengyue had to rely on herself for this challenge. Only after experiencing battles would her lifebound gu become stronger, providing better protection in the future.

As for her situation, although those villagers had calmed down, witnessing the deaths of villagers reignited their anger, dying their eyes red again, and someone, not knowing who, picked up a torch and hurled it at Qin Liuxi.

Qin Liuxi caught the fireball barehanded, looking at the person who threw it—a boy of eleven or twelve years old, with a ferocious face and menace in his eyes, stunned to see her catch the fire barehanded.

Qin Liuxi shot him a cold glance, causing the boy to flinch and retreat.

Her act of catching the fireball left everyone dumbfounded.

This witch was not afraid of fire!

"Trying to burn me with fire?" Qin Liuxi addressed the remaining villagers, "I am the fire; where’s the burn?"

As her words fell, her heart moved, and fire sprouted from her feet, enveloping her whole. She became a figure of flames, approaching them.

All screamed in terror, watching the flame person resembling a red lotus, retreating step by step.

Qin Liuxi felt a bit bored as the Karmic Fire extinguished, leaving her unharmed.

This made her appear even more formidable and awe-inspiring. Tall and slender, she stood firmly like a lofty pine, exuding an air of inviolable majesty.

Though unscathed after turning into a fiery figure, which frightened them, no one dared call her a witch again.

They too feared death.

Buzz.

Qin Liuxi turned her head to see Si Lengyue’s face pale, her Witch Power rapidly draining. She glanced at the people present; no more deaths occurred.

However, amongst those infected with child poisons and those women who sought to conceive, who knows how many had drunk the water?

Qin Liuxi flashed, sending a sliver of Spiritual Power.

Si Lengyue felt some relief, deciding on a swift and decisive battle, to risk everything.

She knew that with Qin Liuxi protecting her, she would remain unharmed.

Si Lengyue channeled all her Witch Power into her lifebound gu, making the Gu Soul emerge, attacking Asa.

Asa: This track isn’t fair!

But no one said you couldn’t break the rules.

With Qin Liuxi’s protection, Si Lengyue soon gained the upper hand. Her lifebound gu devoured Asa’s Gu Soul and then crushed and subdued it.

This was yet another process.

But with the talisman array broken, and Qin Liuxi suppressing the rebellion of villagers’ child poisons, Asa couldn’t get any nutritional supply and was already at the end of his strength.

Si Lengyue opened her eyes, standing up, her face originally cool now as white as frost and snow. Though she had successfully let her lifebound gu devour Asa’s Gu Soul, it cost her considerable Witch Power, and she needed rest.

Qin Liuxi stuffed an elixir into her mouth, full of worry, "Are you alright?"

Si Lengyue swallowed the elixir and said, "I’m fine, just need you to take me back to my clan later."

Qin Liuxi asked, "Can’t we deal with the child poisons later? I’ve temporarily suppressed them with the Golden Light Talismans; their lives are safe for now."

Si Lengyue glanced over, where there was once a dense crowd, now sparse with only forty or fifty people left, "My lifebound gu has swallowed a new Gu Soul, it needs to cultivate in seclusion, it will slumber; this must be handled early."

As she spoke, she summoned her lifebound gu again, chanting the complex witchcraft incantation. The lifebound gu emitted a burst of gold light, a powerful golden scorpion shadow flashing by.

The villagers felt a churning in their stomachs, something surged up, causing them to vomit, and amidst the vomit, something wiggled, soon losing movement.

The sound of vomiting continued incessantly.

Si Lengyue used up her last bit of Witch Power; the lifebound gu automatically fused into her wrist, and she fell softly to the ground.

Qin Liuxi caught her, felt her pulse, finding she was merely exhausted and lifted her up. She said to the villagers, "Fill this well, tear down the archway and build a new village entrance. Their existence will only bring you disasters, sever your descendants. Now that the poisonous insects in your bodies are removed, take care of yourselves."

Everyone watched as they disappeared into the Void and then rushed to the edge of the well.

The well was dry; evil was removed!

The sky suddenly started to snow; someone first cried out, their cries gradually growing louder, echoing through the sky.
