"Little Sister, do you have any idea what you're doing!?"
Witnessing this from the side, Hong Yuan's expression changed.
He rushed forward, trying to pull Jin Ling'Er away.
At the same time, he said to Hu Qi,
"Big Brother, Little Sister has just been bewitched by this man. Please don't hold it against her."
"Second Brother, don't pull me! I can't just stand by and watch him die!"
Jin Ling'Er ignored him completely, wrenching her arm free.
She looked at Hu Qi, her expression stubborn.
"Big Brother... You won't go back on your word, will you?"
"Of course I won't go back on my word!"
At that moment, Hu Qi spoke calmly.
A flicker of joy crossed Jin Ling'Er's face, but before she could say anything,
Hu Qi continued.
"However, before that, I will make you see everything clearly. If you still insist on being with him after that, I will grant your wish."
As he spoke, Hu Qi waved his hand.
The two of them saw a flash of brilliance pass by.
Hong Yuan felt as if something had been swept away from him.
His body felt a little lighter.
Compared to Hong Yuan, Jin Ling'Er's experience was far more profound.
She stood there blankly,
the focus gone from her eyes.
From Hu Qi's perspective,
under the influence of the Twisted Light,
he saw the two threads of fate that descended from the void to connect to the tops of Jin Ling'Er's and Hong Yuan's heads twist a few times before snapping completely.
After stepping into the Demon Immortal Realm, Hu Qi's Twisted Light was already capable of warping these threads of fate.
"What did you do to Ling'Er?! If you have the guts, come at me!"
His eyes burning with fury, Wang Zhiyuan forced his grievously injured body to stand and reached out a trembling hand, trying to grab Jin Ling'Er.
SMACK!
Just as he was about to touch Jin Ling'Er's arm,
the unexpected happened.
Jin Ling'Er suddenly snapped back to her senses.
She flung his hand away and slammed her palm down hard on the back of it.
"Get away! Don't touch me with your filthy hands!"
She had used nearly all her strength in that strike.
As a Demon King at the Nascent Element Level,
her power was not insignificant,
but it was no match for Wang Zhiyuan's.
However, Wang Zhiyuan had not been on guard against Jin Ling'Er.
Coupled with his severe injuries, the blow sent him staggering back several steps, nearly making him fall.
But he ignored the pain, his gaze fixed on Jin Ling'Er, who was hastily retreating behind Hu Qi. His face was a mask of shock and confusion.
"Ling'Er, what's wrong? It's me, your Zhiyuan!"
Upon hearing his words, a look of clear disgust appeared on Jin Ling'Er's face, with a hint of imperceptible fear hidden in her eyes.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, I don't want to be with this man! He must have used some kind of Evil Technique on me.
Ever since I met him, I've felt agitated and out of control. I couldn't stop myself from wanting to be near him, and I even developed feelings of affection for him! That's what made me do such absurd things!"
Jin Ling'Er's tone was icy. She clearly remembered everything she had done before.
"Ling'Er... you... what are you saying? I thought you loved me more than anything?"
Wang Zhiyuan stared blankly at Jin Ling'Er.
She seemed like a complete stranger to him.
They had been together for so long, yet this was the first time he had ever seen her look at him with such hatred, as if she wanted to flay him alive.
He suddenly recalled the Lantern Festival, when she had stood beneath the fireworks, clutching a rabbit lantern. "Young Master, you're so good to me," she'd said shyly, her eyes brimming with warmth.
But now, those same eyes, which were always filled with laughter, held nothing but a bone-chilling coldness when they looked at him.
"Love you?"
Jin Ling'Er sneered.
"Why don't you go piss in a puddle and take a good look at yourself? If you hadn't used that Evil Technique to control me, how could I possibly have done those things?"
At this, she turned to Hu Qi.
"Big Brother, I beg you to help me kill this man!"
Although Jin Ling'Er wished she could subject Wang Zhiyuan to death by a thousand cuts to appease the hatred in her heart,
she knew from her understanding of the man
that among everyone present, besides Hu Qi, even if she and her Second Brother attacked together,
they would be no match for Wang Zhiyuan.
Hu Qi witnessed this scene without a hint of surprise.
'This Jin Ling'Er is, in her true form, a Snake Demon. Even taking on a human form can't change that fact.'
'Her sense of aesthetics is naturally vastly different from a human's.'
'Even though Wang Zhiyuan is handsome, in her eyes, he's probably no different from someone ugly.'
'If not for fate meddling with her mind, how could she have ever crossed the species barrier to fall so deeply and madly in love with a playboy like Wang Zhiyuan?'
Now, thanks to Hu Qi's intervention,
she had broken free from fate's control.
As a result, the deeper her love had once been, the deeper her hatred was today.
"Heheheh! Kill me? I am a future Immortal, destined by the heavens! I cannot die!"
At that, Wang Zhiyuan began to laugh lowly.
His Immortal Energy stolen, his beloved's betrayal.
This crushing blow caused his face to twist violently with pain and hatred.
The moment his words fell,
the cracked Demon-slaying Sword, which was embedded in the ground nearby, suddenly began to hum as its blade trembled violently.
To everyone's shock, the dense web of cracks began to heal rapidly until it was as good as new.
Then, it shot up from the ground, transforming into a streak of Flowing Light that landed in Wang Zhiyuan's hand.
At the same time, a series of faint but clear popping sounds came from within Wang Zhiyuan's body.
A tyrannical aura surged and climbed madly within him.
In the blink of an eye, he broke through from his original Nascent Soul First Layer straight to the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer. Then, with a CRACK, he shattered the barrier to the Divinity Transformation Realm.
His power continued to soar, reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm Ninth Layer in a single bound.
His injuries healed in an instant.
