Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 507 Black Snake Attacks the Master

A cold wind blew, and in the dark night, Ji Anni felt a chill all over her body.

The head of the black snake in front of me actually turned into Yizhen's face. Is this also an illusion?

"Xiao Zhao, save me..." Yizhen cried and squirmed in pain on the ground.

Her appearance and voice were so real, it didn't seem like an illusion at all. Could it be that Yizhen really turned into a monster?

"Xiao Zhao, I've been bewitched by Yuan Rong... Please save me..." Yizhen, whose skin was white and bloodless, struggled painfully in a faint soft light. At first, only her face was human, and the body below the neck was a snake; but gradually, her neck, shoulders, and even part of her chest turned back into human skin.

"It's incredible that you can still retain your consciousness even when being controlled by magic." The Ghost King stared coldly at Yizhen who was writhing in pain on the ground, and said expressionlessly, "The black snake demon just now was quite powerful and could easily control a human with magic. He certainly didn't expect you to be so disobedient that you actually tried to struggle out of his magic..."

"Are you really Yizhen?" After hearing the Ghost King's words, Ji Anni stared at the monster with a human face and a snake body on the ground again.

Only then was it finally confirmed that the other party was not a monster that had transformed into Yizhen's appearance, but Yizhen who was controlled by witchcraft.

Thinking of this, Ji Anni rushed over. There were still black snakes hissing and spitting red letters on the ground. However, after knowing that these black snakes were illusions, Ji Anni's legs were finally able to move. When she stepped down, there was no sense of stepping on a foreign object, just like stepping on flat ground.

By this time, Yizhen's arms had returned to their human form and were grasping the ground in pain.

Ji Anni squatted down to support her. The moment her fingertips touched Yizhen, it felt like touching ice.

"Yizhen..." She frowned and looked at her with pity. When she thought of the torture Yizhen had endured, Ji Anni's heart also began to ache.

"Xiao Zhao... Xiao Zhao, save me... I don't want to die, I don't want to die..." Yizhen burst into tears, and big drops of tears fell on the back of Ji Anni's hand. However, those tears were like ice water, without a trace of warmth, only a chill that pierced the heart.

Suddenly, Yuan Rong's furious roar came from deep within the Demon-Suppressing Temple: "Kill them! Kill them!"

Yizhen immediately covered her head and screamed. Her body, which had just recovered, was instantly covered with snake skin again.

Ji Anni watched helplessly as the snake skin devoured Yizhen bit by bit, from shoulders to neck, from chin to nose, and finally turned back into a complete big snake.

"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!" Yuan Rong's voice became more and more rapid and violent, accompanied by a strong wind.

The black snake howled towards the sky, letting out a painful wail. "No - I'm not a monster -" The hoarse cry seemed to be able to cut through the evil spirit in the night sky, piercing the heart.

"Yizhen..." Looking at Yizhen's painful struggle, Ji Anni lay on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.

The ghost king came over, grabbed her and said, "Your friend is very extraordinary. She has not been completely controlled by the evil spirit. If she were an ordinary person, she would have been completely reduced to a killing tool and would have no consciousness at all."

Just as he finished speaking, a demonic aura suddenly came from behind again.

Ji Annie and the Ghost King looked back at the same time, only to see two lantern-like red lights appear in the bushes again.

"There's actually another one!" The Ghost King clenched the sword in his hand, lowered his brows, and took a fighting posture.

"Anything else?" Ji Anni felt a tingling sensation on her scalp and she subconsciously took a half step back.

The shadow in the bushes gradually revealed its true appearance. It was a black snake that was as big as Yizhen. It had no head, just an ordinary giant snake.

Was this giant snake a human being transformed, or a real monster? Ji Anni had no way of judging.

Unlike Yizhen, the newly appeared giant snake had no self-awareness at all. Its fierce eyes stared at the Ghost King and Ji Anni. Ji Anni didn't dare to look at it, as if her soul would be sucked away; but she couldn't look away, because if she showed any flaws, the other party would pounce on her immediately.

"Look, this is what ordinary humans look like after being truly possessed by the witchcraft." The Ghost King sneered and clenched the sword in his hand.

The words he said casually instantly made Ji Anni feel like she was falling into an icy cave. "Human? You said it was also a human controlled by witchcraft?"

The Ghost King’s judgment must be correct, but Ji Anni couldn’t guess who the black snake was, and she seemed anxious and painful.

Seeing that Ji Annie was distracted, the black snake opened its bloody mouth mercilessly and pounced on her at lightning speed.

Ji Anni screamed in fear, and the Ghost King pushed her away with a palm, holding a long sword in his hand, and chopped at the giant snake's head.

Seeing that the snake's head was about to be cut in half, Ji Anni let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Don't kill her!"

If the other party is really a human being and turned into a black snake because of Yuan Rong's magic, then its life cannot be harmed.

However, Ji Anni's shouting was still too late. The ghost king's long sword slashed the black snake's face. The black snake let out a shrill roar and howled to the sky. Even the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by its voice. A strong wind blew between the sky and the earth, making Ji Anni unable to open her eyes. She had to hold on to the mud and stones on the ground to avoid being blown away.

"Monster, you are quite powerful." Seeing that the opponent was still alive after being hit on the head by his sword, the Ghost King's expression finally became serious.

The black snake's body was seven or eight times the size of the ghost king. In front of the huge monster, even the ghost king seemed a little weak. But in terms of momentum, the ghost king still had the upper hand.

Although the black snake did not have any wounds on its forehead after being hit by the sword, it was frightened. It did not dare to attack rashly, but coiled in place, staring at the ghost king with its two fiery red eyes, spitting out its scarlet tongue, waiting for the opportunity.

Ji Anni, who had just recovered from her surprise, was afraid that the Ghost King would kill her, so she hurriedly shouted, "She is a human, not a monster, don't kill her!"

"You can't kill this one, and you can't kill that one. Do you want to die here?" The Ghost King replied with a frown.

At this moment, the black snake pounced again - but this time its target was Ji Annie instead of the Ghost King.

"Get out of the way!" The Ghost King roared and swung his sword. Although the sword could not hurt the black snake's leather armor, it blocked the black snake's attack.

The Ghost King gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and the long sword blocked the black snake's abdomen. The black snake opened its mouth and screamed, but it could not move forward an inch. The Ghost King swung forward violently, and the huge body of the black snake was actually lifted up by the sword. The upper body drew a huge semicircular arc in the air, and finally fell heavily with a "snap".

The moment it landed, the entire ground shook as if there was an earthquake.

Ji Anni's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground. If the Ghost King hadn't helped her, she would have been swallowed by the black snake.

The Ghost King stood between Ji Anni and the black snake, tightened his sword again, pointed at the black snake wriggling in pain not far away and said to Ji Anni behind him: "See, you showed mercy to her, but she has no mercy for you at all."

Ji Anni, who had just recovered from her shock, took a few deep breaths and finally came to her senses. "This was not her intention... She was just being controlled..." Her voice trembled slightly, and the horrible scene just now still lingered in the depths of her mind. Even so, she still couldn't bear to watch a living person being manipulated by Yuan Rong and die tragically.

At this moment, a terrifying murderous aura suddenly came from behind.

"Be careful!" The Ghost King turned around and shouted. He had been concentrating on guarding against the snake demon that was blown away in front of him, and for a moment he did not pay attention to the black snake that Yizhen had turned into.

Ji Anni didn't react either. She turned around suddenly after hearing the Ghost King's roar, but she only saw Yizhen's open mouth.

The two fangs on the upper jaw were like ice chisels, emitting a cold and desolate light in the dark night. A long tongue in the bright red mouth stabbed towards Ji Anni's face.

Ji Anni only had time to let out a scream and raised her hands to block her eyes.

She thought she was dead, but after waiting for a long time, the black snake's fangs did not pierce her.

He trembled and put down his hands that were covering his face, only to find that the black snake suddenly stopped moving, like a statue, maintaining the motion of lunging forward, but frozen.

Ji Anni looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, thinking that time had stopped.

However, at this moment, Yizhen's scream rang out in the stagnant air—not the scream of a monster, but the scream of a human.

Yizhen's consciousness was struggling painfully inside the black snake. The reason why the black snake didn't bite Ji Anni to death just now was because Yizhen's own consciousness stopped the black snake.

"Yizhen..." Ji Anni staggered to her feet and stared in surprise at the incredible scene in front of her.

Suddenly, Yizhen let out a scream and turned to rush towards the depths of the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

"Yizhen!" Ji Anni screamed.

Yuan Rong is hiding in the Demon-Suppressing Temple. Could it be that Yizhen wants to attack Yuan Rong?

The ghost king's voice came from behind: "After being controlled, she not only did not lose her consciousness, but was also able to attack her master - she is definitely not an ordinary human."

As soon as the Ghost King finished speaking, the second black snake attacked him again. Although the Ghost King blocked the most dangerous fangs, his legs were tightly entangled by the thick body of the black snake. The black snake was incredibly strong, and the Ghost King could hardly move after being entangled.

Ji Anni glanced at the Ghost King, and then glanced at the depths of the Demon Temple where Yizhen disappeared. What should she do? Her mind was in a mess.

At this moment, suddenly from the depths of the Demon-Suppressing Temple came the painful and shrill roars of Prince Ming, Yizhen and Yuan Rong. It was obvious that Yizhen had launched an attack on Prince Ming.

Ji Anni's sight was fixed on the Demon Suppression Temple. She gritted her teeth and made a very bold decision without much hesitation.

"Don't go in!" The ghost king who was entangled by the black snake let out a loud roar, but he was unable to stop Ji Anni who was overwhelmed by her blood.

Regardless of the danger, Ji Anni rushed into the bottomless Demon-Suppressing Temple.

At the same time, the voices of Prince Ming and Yizhen became even more miserable in the night wind.

The demon-suppressing temple was completely dark, and ordinary humans could not see anything. However, Ji Anni, whose demon nature had awakened, had a faint glow in her eyes.

Thanks to this pair of magical eyes, she saw clearly the horrific scene in the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

The giant snake Yizhen wrapped around Prince Ming's body, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Prince Ming's neck.
