Life hung by a thread, and Qiao San naturally had to resort to his final desperate measure. “Book Spirit, dear Book Spirit, save me…”
“Ai!” A helpless sigh echoed through the illusory world as the graceful figure of the Book Spirit emerged from the radiant light, her delicate curves gently unfolding. “Qiao San, stop relying on others every time. This time, even I am powerless!”
“Powerless? You too? Book Spirit, please, don’t scare me like this. I really don’t want to be reborn inside a beast’s belly.”
“Nice try. Even the Ten-Sun Pearl cannot withstand the power of Chaos True Fire. Though you won’t be destroyed, you won’t be able to be reborn in the fire this time either.”
Now more mature, the Book Spirit was wrapped in a vast misty aura. Her soft voice carried a magnetic allure as she gently reprimanded again, “Qiao San, the Dao of Heaven moves in cycles, and good and evil receive their due. I told you to do more good deeds in daily life, but you refused to listen. This is your retribution.”
Annoyed by the Book Spirit’s nagging, Qiao San thought of the nun Jing Lian’s betrayal and couldn’t help but cry out bitterly to the heavens.
“Wo… No! I refuse to be a good person anymore!”
For Qiao San, a piece of rotten wood, the Book Spirit still showed the utmost patience. Her gentle figure disappeared with a smile, leaving only a melodious celestial voice drifting on the wind, “Believe me, good people will always receive good fortune.”
The transformation within Qiao San’s spiritual realm happened in an instant. As the four colossal beasts closed in, Qiao San straightened his spine and firmly declared, “Run!”
With a ‘whoosh,’ the rogue king had already grabbed the weakest flower spirit, Peony, and dove underground. The Fox Queen and her daughter were no slower, vanishing in an instant into the bushes like a gust of cold wind.
Though the four beings escaped skillfully, could the ancient mystical beasts truly have only that much ability?
A monstrous hoof slammed down, sending surging waves of energy rippling across the earth. The ground trembled, instantly shaking Qiao San and the female魅 out of hiding.
(Note: “魅” is transliterated as “Mei” in English, but if it refers to a specific term like “female demon” or “female spirit,” it could also be translated accordingly depending on context. Please provide additional context if needed.)
Corrected and polished version:
A monstrous hoof came crashing down, unleashing surging waves of energy that rippled across the ground. The earth shook violently, instantly rattling Qiao San and the female demon out of their hiding place.
With a fierce exhale, the beast released a frigid wind from the depths of hell. The freezing gale not only shattered mountains and cracked stones, but also instantly froze the Fox Queen and her daughter into two beautiful ice statues.
“Damn it!”
Only the wildest curses could vent Qiao San’s frustration. With an ugly but effective roll, he dodged the deadly hoof, then using the rebound from the earth, he flew like a meteor toward the two ice statues.
Just as lightning fire melted the ice, before Qiao San could even grab the three women and flee, the massive beast descended from the sky with a killing aura, engulfing the four prey in shadow.
“Master, quickly try the Yin Blood Seal! Let me help you!” Before the words had even faded, the Fox King’s Yin Blood Seal had already emitted a burst of red light—not aimed at the beast, but like a sword piercing the rogue’s forehead. At this life-or-death moment, the White Fox suddenly changed her breathing, gazing hopefully at the rebellious saint surrounded by her mother’s crimson glow.
“The Yin Blood Seal! Will it actually work?” The rogue was clearly skeptical, but this was now his last lifeline, leaving him no choice but to grasp at it desperately.
Qiao San’s eyes turned red. The blood mark on his brow blazed like erupting flames. Wherever the red light swept, barren ground suddenly exhaled thin red mists, bare mountain peaks drifted with red clouds, and illusory peach blossoms floated gently toward the ancient, murderous beasts.
“Master, your Yin Blood Barrier has reached perfection!” The Fox Queen understood Qiao San’s transformation best, her face lighting up with joy as she hugged her daughter in excitement.
Yet alongside this miraculous transformation, unbearable pain instantly flooded Qiao San’s mind. The red light seemed to melt from blood itself, the rosy mist draining his vitality. Even with the miraculous Ten-Sun Body, he felt as if trapped in the infernal hell of the underworld.
“Hold on… hold on…”
Hardship always stretched time unbearably long. Though only moments passed, Qiao San felt like an eternity. Suddenly, his mind went blank, a surge of solid-like consciousness bursting forth. Then everything went black—he collapsed on the spot.
“Ahh!” The joy of the Fox Queen and her daughter was abruptly cut short. The female魅 turned deathly pale. Had hope only been a fleeting illusion? Qiao San had collapsed at this crucial moment—what else could resist the four mystical beasts?
The monstrous hoof blocked the sky above the three women, its shadow and killing intent oppressing the fragile prey.
“Sigh…” The female魅 had already lost the will to escape. The Fox Queen and her daughter gathered around Qiao San, closing their eyes and instinctively hugging the rogue, waiting hopelessly for death.
Time suddenly slowed to an unbearably crawl, and an unexpected miracle unfolded.
The women’s hair was flattened against their scalps by the wind from the beasts’ hooves. At the final instant, the four beasts suddenly reversed direction—not advancing, but retreating. Then, everything turned strangely bizarre.
In a flash, the demon tiger pounced on the demon wolf, while the demon leopard rode atop the demon lion.
In another moment, the scene turned amusing. The magic wolf had shaken off the magic tiger and actually rushed into the magic leopard’s arms. The remaining magic lion and magic tiger, however, failed to find mutual affection. In an instant, the four beasts, caught in a quadrangle love battle, were locked in a furious fight.
The three women, not yet receiving death’s embrace, cautiously opened their eyes a slit. Before them was a scene of flying sand and swirling stones, the sky darkened. The White Fox was the first to cry out joyfully, “Ah, Mother, we did it!”
Qiao San had done it! Though unconscious, he had successfully used the Yin Blood Barrier to ignite the beasts’ lust, miraculously saving them all from death.
If not now, then when? The three women quickly picked up Qiao San and fled at full speed.
In the chaos, no one noticed that although the four had left the battlefield, the red mist of the Yin Blood Barrier still clung tightly to Qiao San, as if sentient, seeping into the rogue’s head.
The lustful roars of the beasts grew fainter and fainter. The entrance to the formation was now clearly visible, hope shining in the three women’s eyes. But suddenly, a piercing scream tore through the sky, and disaster struck once more.
A sudden burst of power swept like a violent storm over the three women. Unprepared, their minds reeled, and they instantly collapsed.
“Roar!”
A beast-like roar erupted from Qiao San’s mouth. Floating mid-air, the rogue slowly opened his eyes. Two savage red beams shot forth, ruthlessly tearing through the three women’s garments in an instant.
