"It’s too late to leave now."
Chen Jiaxing used a rope made of Demonic Aura to bind me.
I did not resist, pretending to comply as I was thrown beside Shen Mengyi.
Seeing this, Shen Mengyi was filled with despair.
Chen Jiaxing, on the other hand, was utterly pleased with himself.
He pointed his hands at us, using his magic to drain the life force from both me and Shen Mengyi.
However, he soon noticed something was off.
"Why can't I absorb it?"
He looked at me and tried to siphon my energy again, but it was still ineffective.
Just as my spiritual power had no effect on him, his Demonic Aura was equally powerless against me.
"From the moment I laid eyes on you, I sensed something was wrong. You truly are problematic."
Chen Jiaxing narrowed his eyes dangerously. "But that's fine; I can find someone else. For instance, your mother."
With a flick of his mind, he summoned my mother, who had been anxiously waiting outside, into the room.
He did not rush to act.
With a malicious tone, he spoke up:
"Auntie, how about a choice for you? Between Shen Chun Ning and Shen Mengyi, choose one to live and the other to die, or else they both will die."
Mother's legs went weak, and she fell to the ground.
"I choose Shen Mengyi; she can't hurt me," I said calmly.
I was analyzing in my mind how to deal with Chen Jiaxing.
But this time, Mother didn't listen to me. "I choose Ning Ning," she said.
Her choice took me by surprise.
Beside us, Shen Mengyi's eyes dimmed completely.
Then, even without Chen Jiaxing's control, the Demonic Aura in her eyes continued to surge.
Mother spoke again, this time addressing Shen Mengyi.
"Mengyi, Ning Ning has suffered so much outside; I can only choose her. I'm sorry for you. Don't be afraid; Mother will die with you, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengyi was stunned, her gaze regaining clarity.
She looked at Mother in disbelief.
My Mom, trembling on her legs, walked towards Chen Jiaxing and said, "Let Ning Ning go. If you want to kill someone... then kill me!"
Then she embraced Shen Mengyi, closing her eyes and assuming a posture of resignation to death.
Chen Jiaxing was momentarily taken aback before sneering coldly, "You two really share a deep mother-daughter bond. Since you can't make a choice, I'll grant your wish and let you die together!"
Chen Jiaxing unleashed his Demonic Aura and charged towards me.
My Mother tried to hold me, but I waved my sleeve to push them away.
Now's the time!
I summoned the Destiny Sword and thrust it fiercely at Chen Jiaxing.
"You really have some skill, but it seems your power doesn't affect me," he remarked.
I had to admit, Chen Jiaxing was quite clever.
He quickly realized that if my Spiritual Energy were effective against him, I wouldn't have waited until now to strike.
With a cold smirk, he curled his lips and enveloped himself in Demonic Aura.
Thus, once my sword energy touched him, it would naturally be constrained by the rules of heaven.
However, he never expected that my sword would easily pierce through the rain shield formed by his Demonic Aura.
It pierced through his chest.
"How... how could this happen!"
He spat out a mouthful of black blood in disbelief.
"Because I didn't use any spiritual power; I relied on my own strength."
Spiritual power and Demonic Aura counterbalance each other, so I used my own abilities.
Chen Jiaxing clearly did not anticipate this, and in his unwillingness, he turned to ashes.
Once the crisis was averted, Shen Mengyi could no longer hold back; she tightly embraced Mother and burst into tears.
I looked at her in her disheveled state.
For the first time, I felt that her cries weren't so annoying after all.
With Chen Jiaxing's death, the Demonic Aura surrounding the abandoned warehouse dissipated.
Father and Brother rushed in.
Seeing that the three of us were safe and sound, they wept tears of joy.
