"Waa waa waa!"

Upon hearing Wang Junze's words, the Ghost Infant's cries became even clearer. If one listened carefully, one could even sense a faint hint of anger in the cry.

It was clear that Wang Junze's words had infuriated the Ghost Infant.

"Crying, crying, all you know is crying. What's the use of crying?" Wang Junze sneered and continued, "You are named Ghost Infant, but are you really like a baby who only knows how to cry?"

"Waa waa!"

Following a series of provocations by Wang Junze, the Ghost Infant finally could not hold back anymore, flying out directly from the void and appearing before Wang Junze.

Only at this moment could Wang Junze truly see the appearance of the Ghost Infant.

The figure was extremely small, seemingly not much larger than a baby, but its face was particularly hideous, with a layer of resentment swirling around it. Even a distant glance could instill a deep-seated fear.

"Waa waa!"

The Ghost Infant continued to cry, yet compared to moments ago, the sobbing right in front of Wang Junze seemed to have an incredibly powerful impact, making him feel an uncontrollable urge to cry along.

In a momentary daze, a trace of resentment and anger involuntarily rose in his mind.

At that moment, Wang Junze even felt a sudden urge to turn against everyone and kill them all—why should he be the one to face this terrifying Transformed Great Demon, while others just reap benefits?!

But, as he noticed the anomaly, Wang Junze flipped his wrist and swallowed a sprig of Clear Heart Grass!

The Clear Heart Grass's effect is to clear the mind and stabilize the Divine Soul!

It was effective against Hu Qianqian's Charm and was just as effective against the cries of the Ghost Infant and this Divine Soul attack.

Moreover, Wang Junze, having repeatedly resisted Hu Qianqian's Charm, had a much stronger resistance than the average person, and within a few breaths, he forcefully broke free from the influence of the crying.

Without any hesitation, as soon as his rationality returned, Wang Junze raised his hand and swung a sword straight at the Ghost Infant!

The Rain Sword Intent burst forth, and in an instant, dozens of Sword Qi appeared around, slashing towards the Ghost Infant like falling rain.

This sudden attack clearly took the Ghost Infant by surprise.

With its naturally low intelligence, the Ghost Infant couldn't quite understand how this Human Race could so easily break free from its Divine Soul attack.

Nevertheless, a Transformed Great Demon remains a Transformed Great Demon.

Even though Wang Junze's counterattack was swift, it couldn't harm the Ghost Infant at all. It simply waved a small hand, and the incoming Sword Rain was instantly scattered by Demon Qi!

So strong!

In an instant exchange, Wang Junze gained a clearer understanding of the Ghost Infant's strength.

In terms of power, the Ghost Infant was definitely not weaker than Hu Qianqian. Its terrifying Demon Qi also carried a sense of eeriness everywhere, seemingly innately imbued with a strong Power of Rules, effortlessly fending off the Sword Intent.

Of course, this was also because Wang Junze hadn't fully unleashed his power, only tentatively employing the Rain Sword Intent.

But no matter what, this confrontation made Wang Junze realize that even if he lured out the Ghost Infant, defeating it would not be easy at all.

"Waa waa waa!"

The Ghost Infant cried out once more, even angrier after being slashed by Wang Junze, extending its tiny hand, reaching towards Wang Junze.

Though small in stature, the Ghost Infant's grasp was exceedingly menacing.

More terrifying still, every attack from it contained a Divine Soul attack.

Boom!

In haste, Wang Junze just managed to raise his sword to block. Under the impact of Demon Qi, he was suddenly blown away, while an incredibly dreadful Divine Soul attack penetrated into his body.

Pain!

The frontal attack wasn't too bad; although Wang Junze was sent flying, he didn't suffer greatly, and through the momentum of his retreat, he dissipated the force of the strike.

However, the Divine Soul attack invading his body was terrifyingly painful.

It was a pain stemming from the soul, mixed with endless malicious intent, surging in unchecked, nearly destroying Wang Junze's consciousness in an instant.

Fortunately, the effect of the Clear Heart Grass was still present, barely allowing Wang Junze to endure, though his face turned deathly pale.

Can't win!

There was no longer any need to test; Wang Junze realized he was definitely not a match for the Ghost Infant.

Even if he unleashed his full force and attempted the Strangulation Skill, killing this Transformed Great Demon would be extremely difficult.

It's important to remember, when he killed Hu Qianqian, it was by tricking her into using her Charm Technique all night, nearly depleting her Demon Qi, allowing him to ambush successfully. Yet even then, Hu Qianqian's final counterattack almost killed him, and it was only thanks to Luo Qingxuan's timely intervention that she was finally vanquished.

Now, the Ghost Infant was a peak state Transformed Great Demon, regardless of its lack of aptitude in direct combat, far beyond what Wang Junze could slay.

In fact, it wasn't just Wang Junze who felt this.

Everyone else saw it clearly too.

The Snake Demon, needless to say, constantly sneered at seeing Wang Junze suffer, as if mocking his overconfidence.

On the other hand, the Four Symbols Sect certainly possessed the power to save Wang Junze. Jing Lei himself was a Void-Breaking Powerhouse, and with the Four Symbols Array, they truly had a chance of confronting the Ghost Infant head-on. However, for the sect to refrain from adding insult to injury was already mindful of the repercussions; how could they ever step in to help?

As for the others, even if they were willing, they couldn't help at all.

The only one possibly able to intervene, Luo Qingxuan, was currently entangled by the Snake Demon and couldn't free herself at all.

If she were to force herself free, not only would it be difficult to save Wang Junze, but she would also risk being overtaken by the Snake Demon, dragging herself into danger.

"Jing Lei, if Wang Junze dies here today, I, Luo Qingxuan, swear... there will be no end between us!"

With a hint of urgency in her eyes, Luo Qingxuan shouted harshly.

With no way to free herself, this was the only method she could think of.

No matter how it seemed, it appeared that only the Four Symbols Sect could save Wang Junze now.

However, Luo Qingxuan's threat, in this context, seemed somewhat powerless.

Ever since the battle for life and death in the Extreme North Wilderness, while no one stated it outright, there was already little difference from a no-end vendetta, only that Luo Qingxuan's status had kept the Four Symbols Sect from making a direct move against her.

In such a situation, if Wang Junze were to die, the Ghost Infant likely wouldn't spare Luo Qingxuan either. Even if she survived, the cost for her escape would be substantial.

To the Four Symbols Sect, this was essentially the best outcome. Why would they risk saving someone due to Luo Qingxuan's threat?

With a slight raise of his brow, Jing Lei spoke unhurriedly, "Pardon me, Saintess Luo, but facing a Transformed Great Demon, my Four Symbols Sect is also caught in our difficulties. I cannot risk the lives of our disciples to save Junior Brother Wang, right?"

"However, rest assured, if the opportunity arises, I will surely avenge Junior Brother Wang."
