Chapter 612 - 172: Vajra Demon Subduing’s First Limit Break, Foes Cross Paths in the Flame Fire Forbidden Land

Thus, she was forced to leave this Desolate Land periodically. She would go out into the fresh air of the forest to rest and recuperate. Only after restoring the chaotic Primordial Qi in her body would she return to act as a Guardian for her young miss. Huuuh... Feeling the increasingly violent turmoil of the Primordial Qi within her, Tang Yu knew she was about to reach her limit again. She sighed softly and took a long look at Zhang Ling’Er, who was still frantically devouring the Evil Qi like a crazed demon. Tang Yu turned slowly, preparing to leave the Desolate Land for a while to find a safe place to recuperate. Suddenly, Tang Yu’s expression shifted. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she was instantly on alert. Her gaze swept rapidly across the cracked ground! "Young Miss, someone’s here!" Tang Yu shouted, her voice piercing through the scorching air to reach Zhang Ling’Er’s ears. "Someone has trespassed into the Guard Array I set up!" "Who is it?" Zhang Ling’Er didn’t stop circulating her Cultivation Technique, but her voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, tinged with the brutality of the Evil Qi. "Two of them. They used an exceptionally clever Magic Technique to conceal their auras and were well-hidden, but they couldn’t escape my Array’s detection!" Tang Yu replied grimly, her hand already gripping her weapon. "Hmm?" Zhang Ling’Er’s brow furrowed. She finally halted the Seal Technique she was performing and slowly turned her head. Killing intent roiled in her crimson eyes, boiling as furiously as the Evil Qi and threatening to spill out. "Get out here!" With a sharp cry, Tang Yu flicked a finger through the air as if plucking a flower, activating the Array’s killing intent. CRACK! CRACK! From the empty air above, crimson bolts of lightning as thick as water buckets rained down. Carrying an aura of destruction, the red lightning instantly blanketed the entire Desolate Land! BOOM! A deafening roar shook the heavens as shattered rock flew and dust billowed, obscuring the sky. For a moment, it was as if the apocalypse had descended upon the Tuo Cang Mountain Desolate Land! To the southwest, caught in the blast of violent energy, two figures could no longer hide and were forced to reveal themselves! A man and a woman, both standing tall. The man stood as tall and straight as a pine, his handsome face tinged with a coldness that kept others at a distance. The woman, clad in black martial attire and holding a Long Saber, looked agile and radiated a valiant aura. They were none other than Chu Fan, who had silently infiltrated this area using the Spirit Turtle Hibernation Technique, and his Guardian, Mo Yunzi! "An Array?" Chu Fan frowned slightly, glancing up at the sky full of red lightning. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. He had merely sensed someone within the Desolate Land absorbing the Earth Vein Flame Fiend Qi. His curiosity piqued, he had decided to investigate, never expecting that they would have set up such a well-hidden Guard Array. He and Mo Yunzi had carelessly stumbled into the Array, exposing their location! ’This woman... she looks familiar.’ Chu Fan blinked, looking at Zhang Ling’Er with her blood-red eyes, disheveled hair, and the appearance of a mad demon. For a moment, he really didn’t connect the unrecognizable woman before him with the coquettish and willful young miss of the Zhang Family he once knew. Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze. Only the lingering echo of thunder and the hissing of the Evil Qi remained. "Chu Fan!!" Zhang Ling’Er was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn’t believe her eyes. Then, an incredibly bizarre—one might even say ecstatic—smile spread across her twisted face! It was the expression of a hunter who had finally laid eyes on their coveted prey, the greedy and frenzied look of a starving ghost that had just found fresh meat. "It’s you! It’s really you! Hahaha! You passed up the road to heaven and instead came barging through the gateless doors of hell! Chu Fan, today is the day you die!" "Chu Fan?" Nearby, Tang Yu sucked in a sharp breath, her hand subconsciously tightening around her weapon as raw killing intent flared in her eyes. ’So this man was the very culprit who caused the young miss to degenerate this far, to become this thing that was neither human nor ghost!’ ’She had thought they would have to wait until the young miss achieved Great Success with her Divine Skills and stormed back to Qing Province before they could get their revenge.’ ’But she never imagined he would deliver himself right to their doorstep, running all the way to this godforsaken Desolate Land in Tuo Cang Mountain...’ ’Foes are truly destined to cross paths!’ "You’re..." Chu Fan blinked, carefully studying the Zhang Ling’Er before him. After a moment’s thought, realization seemed to dawn on him. "Are you Zhang Ling’Er’s mother?"
