An intense pain surged in.

However, the damage did not originate from Jiutun Tongzi in front, but rather from the Thunder Strike that Su Ziyu himself had summoned. He completely underestimated Jiutun Tongzi's speed, which was so fast that he got caught in his own strike as it descended.

At this moment, Su Ziyu felt as if his entire skin was being scorched. The current enveloping his body became extremely violent, making him look like a humanoid ball of light. Within the Static Field, visible arcs of electricity jumped, and the data stream conveyed the information directly — "Spiritual Lightning Overload 150%!…"

Two lightning beams shot out from Su Ziyu's blazing white eyes, converging into a spherical lightning bolt about fifty centimeters in diameter in the palm of his hand.

BOOM!

Accompanied by a shocking explosion and a frenzy of electric serpents bursting out everywhere, Su Ziyu was flung away, his skin torn apart. Not far away, Jiutun Tongzi was also burnt all over, so severely injured that his mobility seemed compromised, his body was instead caught by that Demon Gourd which prevented him from falling out of the sky.

Can I actually self-destruct?

How is that guy not dead yet?

The Spiritual Protection Field shattered directly, and a crack appeared on the Energy Protection Ring. In the recent violent explosion, one of Su Ziyu's Legendary Artifacts had been damaged, yet Jiutun Tongzi in front was still not dead.

"Husband!" Qing Ji leapt forward to catch Su Ziyu as he fell from the sky.

Su Ziyu was severely injured at this moment, more so than ever since he faced the Evil God statue. His entire skin was charred, pain radiated intensely from his body, and the Static Field was entirely out of control. Even Qing Ji, who held him, was slightly trembling as if electrocuted, but she still refused to release Su Ziyu and carefully protected him behind her.

"I'm fine! *Cough cough!*… Be careful!…" Su Ziyu coughed up a trace of blood at the corner of his lips. His Physical Enhancement was high enough; such injuries wouldn't claim his life nor rob him of his combat abilities, at most leaving him gravely wounded, hovering between life and death.

Bam.

Not far away, Jiutun Tongzi's figure hit the ground, and at that instant, a shadow appeared behind Jiutun Tongzi. An old man clad in black with a shiny bald head emerged, grasping his blade with both hands and slashing at Jiutun Tongzi's head. In a moment, it was unclear how many slashes he made, but with the spraying blood, Jiutun Tongzi's head was directly chopped off.

Danzaburou!

This old bastard acted only now.

Just as Su Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the battle had ended, Jiutun Tongzi's severed head suddenly opened its eyes and flew up.

He's not dead yet!

Jiutun Tongzi's head flew out of the battlefield, with the Demon Gourd automatically rising as if it intended to follow him.

—"Awakening!"

—"Thunder Strike!"

Electric light surrounded Su Ziyu once more as he raised his hand and summoned a bolt of lightning towards Jiutun Tongzi's head.

On the side, Qing Ji also responded swiftly, opening her mouth to spew a patch of cyan-blue Flame towards Jiutun Tongzi's head and the blood-red Demon Gourd. The six Snake Princesses behind her also opened their mouths to unleash a cascade of Flame, the cyan-blue Flame covering the sky, almost engulfing half the heavens entirely.

"Gained 1 Divinity Value!"

"Gained 30 Source Power Value!"

When the data stream in his mind prompted these, Su Ziyu finally relaxed completely. As darkness fell before his eyes, his injuries and the overstressed Spiritual Energy directly made him lose consciousness. The power of the Spiritual Lightning Overload still lingered, weak pale blue electric arcs occasionally flickering uncontrollably on his body's surface.

"Husband!"

"Sir Su!" Qing Ji exclaimed, catching Su Ziyu, while in the distant sky, the blood-red Demon Gourd also plummeted down.

Danzaburou's figure darted forward.

He reached out as if to grasp the Demon Gourd but was forced back by a ghostly green flame.

A copy of "Hundred Tales" hovered in mid-air.

Behind Aoandon was a lantern burning with ghostly flames, surrounded by flickering phantasmal shadows. She wore a faint smile, observing Danzaburou before her, and solemnly said, "As per our agreement, this thing isn't yours! Even if you intend to take it, it should belong to Sir Su."

Danzaburou was forced back by Aoandon's ghostly flame, his expression somewhat complicated and greedy, his gaze still locked on the Demon Gourd not far away. He said in a deep voice, "This is for demons to use in cultivation? What use does a human have for it?"

"Sir Su might be able to refine it, you know?" Aoandon maintained her gentle smile, yet didn't take even a single step forward.

She seemed to harbor some apprehension towards the Demon Gourd.

Even though it lay motionless on the ground like a lifeless object, Aoandon dared not approach too closely to it.

Danzaburou's expression was constantly shifting.

After a long while, he sighed, "That object can transform anyone into a demon, so whoever holds it, be cautious."

After saying this, he shook his head and turned to leave.

Danzaburou departed decisively, leaving without further contest with Aoandon for this item. Aoandon carefully looked at the Demon Gourd not far away, gestured to summon a segment of Soul Hook Chain, and very cautiously bound the Demon Gourd.

The surrounding battle was nearing its end.

With Jiutun Tongzi's demise, the evil ghosts gathered here began to scatter, and all of Danbo Mountain had turned into a sea of flames.
