At this time, Sheng Nuan also learned from customer service that Sheng Yue had voluntarily offered her body as a vessel for the evil spirit.

The evil spirit’s avatar had already been mostly destroyed. According to Ji Rong, unless someone willingly sacrifices themselves, it can no longer forcibly occupy a human body. Under the world’s powers and laws, it will soon be forced to dissipate.

But obviously, it was unwilling to fail just like that, so it sought out Sheng Yue… and Sheng Yue actually accepted.

“I’ll go take care of this. Wife, wait for me at home.”

Ji Rong, clad in black with golden eyes, exuded an aura of immense power from head to toe. Yet as soon as he spoke, it was still that sticky-sweet tone, “I’ll be back soon.”

Sheng Nuan felt a bit uneasy. “I’ll go with you. Don’t worry, I won’t hold you back.”

Ji Rong paused slightly, then nodded. “Okay.”

He spread his hand, and a black long whip instantly appeared in his palm. “This is a whip made from my dragon’s shed skin. Take it for self-defense.”

Sheng Nuan’s eyes lit up instantly…

In the next moment, Ji Rong pulled her into his arms. There was a flash before her eyes, and then everything became clear. Sheng Nuan saw that they had already appeared on a desolate mountain in the suburbs.

Opposite them, Sheng Yue stood quietly in the darkness. Behind her was a gigantic phantom formed from black mist, about two stories high, with a pair of bl00d-red eyes—truly shocking!

It was the evil spirit at the end of its rope.

Sheng Yue turned to look at Ji Rong and Sheng Nuan, curling her lips into a smile. “Good, you’re here.”

She spoke simultaneously with the huge black shadow behind her, emitting a hoarse voice… At the same time, Sheng Nuan saw countless points of light from all directions in the air crazily pouring into the evil spirit’s body.

At the same time, in the nearby Ning City, communication signals suddenly all went dead, and flights were grounded… On the streets, many pedestrians and drivers suddenly felt as if something had drained their vitality, feeling dizzy and lightheaded…

Some cars lost control and crashed into guardrails. The sound of horns blared everywhere, a scene of chaos.

Simultaneously, several helicopters buzzed out of the city, rapidly approaching the suburbs. On the leading helicopter, Chen Qingnan, Lin Ya, and Gao Feng were fully armed, holding an instrument that was beeping.

Chen Qingnan’s expression was grave. “Just ahead!”

At the foot of the desolate mountain, Sheng Yue sneered, but the voice was that of the evil spirit… She had already fused with it.

Looking at Ji Rong, Sheng Yue raised her hand. “Only you are left, the last little dragon in this world. Do you think you alone can stop me?”

The evil spirit laughed heartily. “I’ve been waiting for you… Once I destroy your spirit and seize the true dragon’s body, no one will be able to stop me. I will let darkness… completely descend!”

Before the evil spirit finished speaking, there was a sudden sound beside Sheng Nuan. She turned her head to see Ji Rong soaring into the air, transforming into a huge black dragon in midair, rushing straight toward the now several times larger, mountain-like evil spirit.

Not a word of nonsense, very straightforward!

As the black dragon and the evil spirit clashed, the helicopters arrived. Chen Qingnan led the fully armed Special Investigation Division personnel down from the helicopters. Seeing the huge evil spirit and black dragon in midair, their expressions were all of shock.

But they had no time to marvel, because Sheng Yue moved.

“Sheng Nuan… Today, I’m going to make you repay everything you owe me!”

After saying that, Sheng Yue suddenly thrust both hands into the ground beneath her feet. Dense black mist surged underground, and then Sheng Nuan saw ghostly pale claws piercing through the ground like bamboo shoots after the rain, densely packed…

Immediately, those ghostly claws clung to the ground and crawled out—one twisted specter after another, screeching weirdly as they rushed over.

Sheng Yue let out a manic laugh. “I’m going to tear you to pieces and deliver you to Ji Chengzhou, hahahahaha…”

Chen Qingnan’s expression changed drastically; he immediately raised his hand. “Fire!”

Behind him, a squad of fully armed soldiers opened fire simultaneously. Special bullets with blue light shot out, causing a group of skeleton-like specters to fall, but they quickly got up and continued to charge forward.

Sheng Yue laughed herself hoarse, and Chen Qingnan’s expression became extremely grim…

Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue, looked at the densely packed specters rushing toward her, weighed the long whip in her hand, then… leaped up and fiercely struck down the whip.

The black long whip carried a terrifying aura, smashing down with a boom. The wave-like specters were cleared out, and wherever the whip reached, the specters were as fragile as bubbles, dissipating one after another.

Sheng Yue’s laughter came to an abrupt halt; she looked at that scene in disbelief.

Sheng Nuan spun around, swept backhandedly, and another large swath of specters instantly dissipated. She looked at Sheng Yue and curled her lips into a smile. “Surprised, huh? Sister can perform physical exorcism…”

Sheng Yue let out an angry scream. “I’m going to kill you…”

But at that moment, with a loud boom, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.

Chen Qingnan instinctively looked up and saw that the enormous, terrifying black shadow was torn into pieces by the huge black dragon… The black dragon was not done; it soared and crushed over, completely shattering the huge black shadow into fragments.

The next moment, the black dragon dove directly toward them.

Chen Qingnan and his team were all startled, but then they saw the black dragon land and transform into a man with long hair in black robes.

Opposite them, Sheng Yue fell to the ground; her hair turning gray instantaneously, and her face was full of wrinkles… She looked at her own hands in disbelief and started crying and screaming like crazy.

“Impossible! Impossible! It can’t end like this, impossible… It said I could rule over everything, it said so!”

That black shadow said she could rule over everything. It can’t end like this!

Sheng Nuan was somewhat incredulous. “It couldn’t even use your body without your consent, how powerful did you expect that thing to be?”

Sheng Yue collapsed to the ground, lying on her back, crying out bitterly like a madwoman…

At the same time, everything in Ning City returned to normal. Communication signals and those who suddenly felt dizzy all recovered after a tremor came from the ground.

Was that an earthquake?

An earthquake! Seems like it was an earthquake!

In the hospital emergency room, as the rescue equipment was just set up, the gray-haired Sheng Yong’an suddenly began to slowly recover. His gray hair turned black again, and the dense wrinkles on his face disappeared.

The various data indicators on the monitoring instruments rapidly returned to normal. The medical staff nearby were all stunned, and Sheng Muyang, who was accompanying him, also widened his eyes in disbelief.

The next moment, Sheng Yong’an suddenly opened his eyes and began to breathe rapidly.

“Dad, Dad, how are you?”

Sheng Yong’an panted heavily, tightly gripping Sheng Muyang’s hand. “I… I saw hell, I saw hell!”

Sheng Muyang quickly comforted him. “It’s not real, you were having a nightmare. It’s not real…”

At the same time, on the desolate mountain in the suburbs, Chen Qingnan’s communicator rang.

He pressed to connect, and the serious voice from the command center came through. “Captain Chen, please report the battle situation.”

Chen Qingnan paused, pursing his lips. “The battle is over.”

The other side of the communicator was silent for a moment, seemingly a bit stunned. “The battle is over? Please briefly describe the battle situation…”

Chen Qingnan was silent for a moment, then said, “We arrived at the target location, then opened fire, and then… the battle was over.”

The other side of the communicator fell into silence again…
