"D-dangerous." The White Rabbit girl's face had gone deathly pale.
"Get out of the way!!" Fairy Miaoyin screamed.
The Demon-Slaying List swelled rapidly in the three immortals' field of vision, quickly filling it entirely. A fierce gale roared toward them, and the White Rabbit girl could barely breathe.
Boom.
The next instant, the earth trembled as soil and stone went flying in all directions.
The Demon-Slaying List slammed violently into the thick, solid ground.
Bai Ningbing and the other two immortals had each scattered in different directions, barely dodging in the nick of time during that moment of peril.
The Demon-Slaying List rose and charged once more.
This time, it locked directly onto Bai Ningbing.
"So fast!" Bai Ningbing's eyes narrowed as she braced herself in focus.
A faint crimson glow enveloped the Demon-Slaying List, accelerating its momentum. It did not deploy any killer moves—simply ramming back and forth with dizzying frequency, forcing Bai Ningbing into an endless chain of evasions, scrambling to cope, with no room to fight back.
"What do we do?" the White Rabbit girl asked urgently.
Fairy Miaoyin's face was ashen. Her answer was blunt: "We're leaving! This is an old grudge between the two of them—let them kill each other if they want."
The White Rabbit girl was seized by Fairy Miaoyin, who was about to pull her away from the battlefield.
"And where do you think you're going?" Fang Zheng suddenly spun back around.
Though he harbored deep hatred for Bai Ningbing, he had never forgotten the task Qin Dingling had assigned him. The White Rabbit and Miaoyin were both key leads in the search for Fang Yuan—how could he let them slip away so easily?
The Demon-Slaying List abruptly radiated a surge of majestic blood-red light. The crimson glow washed over the battlefield, engulfing Bai Ningbing and the other two immortals. Their expressions all changed.
Under this blood-red light, they simultaneously felt the blood within their bodies being tugged by a tremendous force, as though every drop were being drawn out and pulled toward the Demon-Slaying List—an excruciating, unbearable sensation.
"If we don't break through this light, it will probably drain us dry!" Fairy Miaoyin's face was grim.
Immortal killer move—White Form!
On the other side, Bai Ningbing had successfully prepared her killer move, suddenly transforming into a small ice giant.
The blood-red light immediately had no effect on her.
The White Form killer move was the trump card of a certain Southern Border Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal from years past, allowing a Gu Immortal to temporarily abandon their flesh and transform into an entirely different life form.
This move was incredibly powerful. It had once terrorized the Southern Border, earning a significant place in its history.
Now that Bai Ningbing used it, her situation immediately improved. Not a single drop of blood existed on the small ice giant's body, rendering the Demon-Slaying List's technique completely useless.
Fairy Miaoyin's heart sank. In this state, Bai Ningbing could certainly extricate herself from the battle. Yet Bai Ningbing did no such thing—rather than retreating, she pressed the attack, letting out an exhilarated howl!
"This madwoman!" Fairy Miaoyin murmured under her breath, her expression complicated.
However, when Bai Ningbing's various killer moves struck the Demon-Slaying List, they were like waves crashing against a reef. The Demon-Slaying List stood like a coastal rock—no matter how fierce the wind or how towering the waves, it remained utterly immovable.
Fairy Miaoyin furrowed her brow tightly and called out urgently: "White Rabbit, use your move!"
The White Rabbit girl nodded fiercely, uttered a firm "Mm," and quickly activated her killer move, shielding both herself and Fairy Miaoyin.
Fairy Miaoyin gambled greatly, entrusting her defense to another while she herself seized this opportunity to unleash her killer move—Mystic Sound of the Marvelous Hand.
Five brand-new arms sprouted from her body, giving her seven in total.
Seven hands each formed different finger seals. Her slender, pale fingers wove dazzling patterns of light and shadow.
Ding ding dang dang…
Dong dong qiang qiang…
With each press of the finger seals, every collision of fingertips produced a melodious, crystalline sound.
The crystalline notes reverberated through the surroundings, stirring up wave after wave of small, translucent soundwaves, visible to the naked eye.
The cascading soundwaves surged like a tempestuous storm, unleashing a torrent of offensive force—every last one striking the Demon-Slaying List!
"Fairy Miaoyin, thirty-seventh on the Demon-Slaying List. Seventh Transformation cultivation, possessor of the Mystic Sound true inheritance. Her signature killer move, Mystic Sound of the Marvelous Hand, can scale up to the Eighth Transformation level as the core Immortal Gu is upgraded," Fang Zheng muttered.
Above his head, countless crimson characters converged into a massive scarlet registry. Every name—Fairy Miaoyin, the White Rabbit girl, and Bai Ningbing—was plainly listed upon it.
Fairy Miaoyin and Bai Ningbing worked in concert, yet Fang Zheng's expression remained composed and unhurried.
Because he was inside the Demon-Slaying List.
An Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu House was extraordinarily powerful.
Generally speaking, a Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu House could already withstand an Eighth Transformation opponent—considered the backbone of a super faction.
And the very finest Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu Houses could participate in quasi-Supreme Grandmaster battles!
Fang Yuan had repeatedly deployed the Myriad Year Battle Chariot and the Dragon Palace to confront Dragon Duke during the Battle of Fate, and had brought three Immortal Gu Houses to bear against Demon Venerable Spectral Soul in the prior pursuit—each one Eighth Transformation.
The Demon-Slaying List operated at that same tier, though it leaned somewhat more toward reconnaissance.
Against Seventh Transformation Gu Immortals like Bai Ningbing, the Demon-Slaying List's combat power was leagues ahead—unreachable and untouchable.
Beam after beam of blood-red light shot forth from the Demon-Slaying List!
