Soon, the crystal ball dimmed, and Chu Yang opened his eyes. "In my name, I summon you to be reborn. Come out."
Then, a creature emerged from the ground. The creature had no physical form; it was just a mass of black mist with four horns on its head and wielding an axe. It knelt before Chu Yang.
Chu Yang commanded, "Attack him!" as he pointed at Zhu Ying.
The creature nodded and charged towards Zhu Ying. Zhu Ying looked at the creature, then at Chu Yang, and smiled. "I didn't expect this. No wonder your blood tastes so sweet."
The creature prepared to swing its axe at Zhu Ying. Suddenly, Zhu Ying became serious and swiftly dodged to the side.
The creature's swing missed, but it quickly realized and charged at Zhu Ying again. Zhu Ying evaded several times, but he couldn't keep avoiding forever. He suddenly took out a talisman and threw it at the creature, causing it to explode with a series of bangs.
The mist on the creature dissipated, but it quickly reformed.
Chu Yang watched closely. She knew they had to end this quickly. The creature was sustained by her witchcraft, which consumed a lot of her power. Chu Yang turned the crystal ball and rushed towards Zhu Ying.
The crystal ball struck Zhu Ying's back, almost causing him to fall to the ground. Meanwhile, the creature swung its axe at Zhu Ying. Zhu Ying barely evaded, but he looked disheveled.
Zhu Ying drew a sword from his waist and stabbed at the creature. However, he realized that no matter how he stabbed the creature, it would still exist. He needed to take out Zhu Ying first.
Zhu Ying glanced at the creature and then thrust towards Chu Yang. "I originally wanted to spill some of your blood, but since you're not cooperating, I won't be polite!"
Chu Yang scoffed, "Hmph! Just a few drops of blood? If I'm right, I'll have to fill that groove on the round table with blood, and then I'll surely lose half my life."
Zhu Ying instantly teleported next to Chu Yang, gripping his sword and preparing to stab her. Chu Yang used the crystal ball to block. "Oh no!"
The crystal ball was pierced, leaving a hole.
Chu Yang knew this wouldn't work. The crystal ball was difficult to utilize once it was damaged, and she had just repaired it with great effort! She immediately commanded the creature to join forces with her to deal with Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying, focused on Chu Yang, didn't notice. The creature's axe struck him directly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His appearance became even more ferocious. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger, took out a talisman, drew two strokes on it, and threw it at Chu Yang. Instantly, the entire basement filled with thick fog. Nothing could be seen, but sounds could be heard. Chu Yang dodged, narrowly avoiding the sword thrown by Zhu Ying.
Unable to see clearly, the creature could only swing blindly.
Chu Yang guided the crystal ball and found her target! She immediately commanded the creature to strike where Zhu Ying was. With a "pu" sound, Zhu Ying spat out another mouthful of blood!
"You're asking for death!" Zhu Ying had never encountered such a situation before and grew even angrier!
However, at that moment, Chi Yan's voice suddenly came, "Yang Yang!"
Zhu Ying heard someone approaching and immediately thrust her sword towards Chu Yang. Chu Yang, of course, heard the sound of Chi Yan's voice. In a moment of carelessness, Zhu Ying stabbed him directly in the shoulder, "Damn it!"
Chu Yang gripped his sword and, holding a crystal ball in one hand, swung it at Zhu Ying's head.
A bloody mess!
Zhu Ying's head was split open, blood flowing profusely as he stumbled and fell to the ground.
At that moment, Chi Yan popped his head up from above and shouted, "Yang Yang!"
Oh no! Zhu Ying hadn't expected someone to arrive so quickly. He immediately got up, twisted a lamp, and revealed a hidden passage.
Zhu Ying ran towards the passage, and Chu Yang wanted to chase after him, but her crystal ball suddenly cracked and shattered with a loud "bang."
The monster instantly disappeared, and Chu Yang sat down on the ground, looking at the shattered crystal ball. She and Zhu Ying were at odds! The crystal ball was broken!!!
She felt like crying without tears!
When Chi Yan came down, he saw that Chu Yang's shoulder was covered in blood and her face was pale with despair.
"Yang Yang, Yang Yang!" Chi Yan was in a panic and didn't know what to say, but he kept calling her name.
Chu Yang glanced at him and then fainted peacefully on the ground.
Chi Yan immediately carried her out, and the people he had brought began to investigate the surroundings. One of them looked at the altar and said to someone nearby, "Boss, it looks like many people died here."
The man called "Boss" followed Chi Yan. "Now is not the time to talk about that. You guys stay here to investigate, make a call for backup, and you and I will help the young master."
"Yes."
Meanwhile, when Chi Xin and Ming Wu rushed over, they saw Zhu Ying, covered in blood, pulling something out of the villa and trying to run towards the mountains. Ming Wu immediately raised the dust brush in his hand and struck Zhu Ying's back with a painful blow.
Zhu Ying coughed up blood again and then pulled out a bell from his body. With three chimes of "ding ding ding," smoke filled the air, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Ying disappeared.
Chi Xin wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Ming Wu. "Let it go. There's no point in chasing after a desperate enemy."
The two of them were about to enter the villa when Chi Yan came out, carrying Chu Yang in his arms, crying and saying, "Save Yang Yang."
Ming Wu immediately stepped forward to examine her. "Don't worry, she just needs to rest. Take her to the hospital."
"Okay." Chi Yan promptly carried her into the car and quickly drove towards the hospital, making a phone call to the hospital on the way.
Chu Yang's body looked disheveled, but her injuries were mainly on her shoulder and wrist. The unconsciousness was mainly due to exhaustion and the massive consumption of her spiritual power.
The next morning, Chu Yang finally woke up. Chi Yan, who had been sitting by her side, looked exhausted. When he saw her awake, he couldn't help but cry and smile, "You're finally awake."
The doctor came over to examine her again. "Just rest well, and you'll be fine."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
Chi Yan held her hand tightly, his eyes red. "You scared me."
Chu Yang touched his face. "It's okay. They say you have a formidable girlfriend."
"But you're injured," Chi Yan looked at the bandaged wrist.
"Oh, by the way, where's Zhu Ying?" Chu Yang thought of the fleeing Zhu Ying.
Chi Yan shook his head, "I didn't see it. She must have escaped. We only found Zhu Ruxin unconscious."
"Forget it," Chu Yang closed his eyes, feeling a pang in his heart as he thought about his shattered crystal ball.
"What about the fragments of my crystal ball?" Chu Yang opened his eyes again and asked.
Chi Yan carefully opened the nearby drawer, wrapped in fabric. "Here they are, all broken." Afraid of hurting Chu Yang's feelings, Chi Yan added, "Should I buy you a new one? Don't be upset."
Chu Yang shook her head and touched the fragments. "Never mind. It's not the same." This crystal ball was a heritage of her family, already worn out by the time it reached her generation. She had been patching it up for three years, but it ended up shattered.
She would seek a new crystal ball later. For now, she needed to focus on recovering her health.
"Did you get me leave from school?"
"Yes, I told them you weren't feeling well. As for your roommates, I said you were with me, and we were going to have some fun. So they have no idea."
Chu Yang nodded. "Okay, thank you for your trouble." She touched his head. "Did you not sleep all night? You look exhausted. Come lie down here and rest." Chu Yang patted the bed beside her.
The place where she was hospitalized should be a VIP ward with excellent facilities, and the beds were all double beds.
"Mmm." Chi Yan took off his shoes and lay down next to Chu Yang, embracing her waist, and quickly fell asleep.
