Chapter 26 You have no right to take what isn't yours.
Du Yin had no intention of admitting defeat here. She simply put away her whip and took out five talismans from her storage bracelet. The thunder runes drawn on them surprised even her senior brother, who hurriedly asked, "Junior sister, what do you mean by this? The Heavenly Thunder Rune was given to you by Master to save your life. Why are you using it now?"
"She's risking her life, so of course I have to help her."
At this point, Du Yin no longer cared about anything else; all she wanted was Tao Tao's life. As a rising star among the seven major sects, she absolutely could not lose to a demon beast.
"No, this talisman is extremely powerful. If you use it here, it will cause a huge commotion. If it alerts the high-level demonic beasts around us, we might all die here." The senior brother was still trying his best to dissuade him, too lazy to confront Linghu Xuan anymore.
Hearing this, Linghu Xuan couldn't help but frown. What kind of hatred could drive her to use the Heavenly Thunder Curse? Not to mention alarming the surrounding demonic beasts, once this talisman is activated, it's uncertain whether they can escape unscathed.
Tao Tao seemed to sense the danger as well. She rummaged through her storage bracelet, took out a shield and held it in front of her. Her eyes were cold as she stared at Du Yin, a look that made Du Yin furious.
"You dare to look me in the eye even when you're about to die? Die!" Du Yin roared, then quickly changed his palm seals and threw out five talismans. After the talismans were thrown out, dark clouds filled the sky, and the surroundings were instantly shrouded in darkness.
Lightning bolts kept shooting out of the talisman, making a crackling sound that sent chills down your spine.
One Heavenly Thunder Spell is enough to kill a second-tier demon beast, so the power of five spells is unimaginable. Du Yin doesn't want to hold back at all; he simply wants to take Tao Tao's life.
As five claps of thunder resounded, bolts of lightning continuously fell from the sky, striking Tao Tao. Had it not been for the shield protecting her, she would have surely died.
The shield couldn't hold out for long. Thunder rumbled incessantly, and the lightning bolts began to increase. Tao Tao was like standing in the middle of a minefield, with almost nowhere to hide.
Watching her being engulfed by lightning, Du Yin revealed a satisfied smile, "You're still too green to fight me."
"You actually used such methods to hurt people, isn't that a bit too much?" Linghu Xuan held nothing back anymore. He drew his longsword, and lightning patterns appeared on it. He raised the sword, trying to draw the lightning over. Even if he couldn't undo the Heavenly Thunder Curse, at least he could share some of the burden for Tao Tao.
"Since you also want to die, then let's die together, senior brother. You don't need to worry about him anymore. If anyone can neutralize the power of the Heavenly Thunder Curse, then the Heavenly Thunder Curse doesn't deserve the name of a high-level talisman."
Du Yin sneered, a mad glint in her eyes that chilled even her senior brother to the bone. "Junior sister, you've gone completely insane..."
"I'm not crazy. The Sha Ling Yuan is fraught with danger. If she dies there because she's not skilled enough, what does it have to do with me?"
The lightning was all gathered around Tao Tao, and even though Linghu Xuan wanted to help share the burden, the effect was not obvious. Right now, she could only rely on herself.
The sound of thunder kept ringing in Tao Tao's ears, and lightning struck her from all directions. The shield in her hand finally gave way and shattered into dust. Without the shield, the lightning struck her without any obstruction.
As she gazed at the lightning flashing with blue light, a few long-forgotten memories surfaced in her mind. How long ago was it that she, too, had nearly perished in the lightning pool of the dark ravine…
She absolutely did not want the same thing to happen a second time.
"Hahahaha, die! This is what happens to those who oppose me!"
Du Yin laughed maniacally, her whole demeanor like that of a madwoman. Her senior brother, worried, grabbed her and said, "Let's leave here first. Now that we have the stuff, there's no need to kill us all."
"I didn't intend to kill them all. Whether she can get out depends on her abilities. What are you afraid of, senior brother? Aren't I just doing this to complete the mission?"
“But you shouldn’t have gone for the kill. After all, it’s the Seven Factions Alliance.”
"The Seven Factions Alliance? Once you step into this place, it's a matter of life and death, and even fellow disciples can betray you one day."
Her words left her senior brother speechless. He opened his mouth but didn't say another word. Du Yin was too lazy to argue with him anymore. Her gaze was fixed on the Thunder Pool, and she waited expectantly for Tao Tao's soul to be scattered.
Oh no, she's definitely going to die if this continues.
Linghu Xuan was extremely anxious. After all, he had saved him before, and he couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
Thinking of this, he kept rummaging through his storage bracelet, trying to find some magical artifact that could save Tao Tao.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level was still shallow, and he didn't have any decent magic artifacts at all. The Heavenly Thunder Curse was no joke; even cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage might not be able to escape unscathed.
Seeing that there was no movement in the Thunder Pool for a long time, Du Yin's smile grew even wider. She even took a few steps forward, trying to get closer so that she could see what was going on inside.
Just as she took a step forward, a dark shadow darted out of the Thunder Pool. It was so fast that Du Yin didn't even have time to react before her slender neck was grabbed by the other party.
"Junior Sister!" The senior brother saw this scene but it was too late to warn her. He immediately made a move, but Tao Tao in the shadows flicked her sleeve, and a powerful force shot out, hitting him and sending him flying several feet away. He crashed hard into a tree and spat out blood.
"You... how is that possible? That's a Heavenly Thunder Curse! How could a mere Qi Refining Stage 9 cultivator like you escape?"
Du Yin stared in disbelief at Tao Tao, who was shrouded in black mist and exuded an aura of death. The clearly visible black demonic mark between her brows was particularly chilling.
What exactly happened? Her aura had completely changed, and her power seemed to have increased several levels, making her a completely different person from before.
"You think you can take my life?" Tao Tao's usual soft and cute demeanor vanished, replaced by a sharp and piercing gaze. The strength in his hands increased continuously, and Du Yin felt a sharp pain all over his body, unable to move at all. He could only grit his teeth and endure the pain.
"I am the granddaughter of Elder Bei of the Hidden Moon Sect. If you dare to touch me, he will never let you off..."
"As you said yourself, once you enter this Spirit Abyss, your life or death is in your own hands, and you can't blame anyone else."
As he spoke, a bewitching purple light flashed in Tao Tao's eyes, and an icicle mixed with black lightning appeared in his free left palm, giving people a sense of danger that went straight to the depths of their souls.
Du Yin's face turned pale as she tried to mobilize her spiritual energy to break free, but unfortunately, all her spiritual energy was blocked by an invisible force and could not circulate at all. She could only watch helplessly as the icicle approached her.
"If you dare kill me, my grandfather will absolutely... Ah!!"
Before she could finish speaking, the ice shards had already entered her body, and the excruciating pain caused her to scream in agony.
Tao Tao seemed oblivious to this, her voice as cold as ice, "If it's not yours, you have no right to take it. Hand it over."
