At that moment, I was nearly out of breath as he tightened his grip around my neck, my hands and feet flailing desperately against the creature, like a dying lamb struggling for life.
Just as I was about to lose consciousness, a flash of blue light appeared in the distance, instantly dispersing the surrounding black smoke and striking the creature's arm that was choking me.
In an instant, blue flames spread from its arm, causing the creature to howl in pain and release its grip on me.
As its hand loosened, I fell to the ground and began to cough violently. The creature, seeing the blue fire growing larger on its arm, hastily tore off its own limb and tossed it aside.
Now, its attention was drawn to Yao Long, and it turned abruptly to charge at him. Gasping for breath, I shouted, "Yao Long! It's coming for you!"
From a distance, Yao Long seemed to be prepared. I saw him unleash a burst of blue light from the Azure Spirit in his hand, three arrows made of coagulated blood wrapped in blue flames released by the Void Spirit were already primed for action.
As the creature charged towards him, he suddenly released the bowstring. In an instant, the three arrows flashed and struck the creature. Blue flames ignited on its body once again.
The creature howled in agony, rolling on the ground. "Does this monster fear Yao Long's flames? If I had known this earlier, I should have let him deal with it from the start..." I thought as I regained my composure and hurriedly picked up the Sheepskin Book and the pen that had rolled away, continuing to write.
Meanwhile, explosions and roars echoed from afar, making it impossible for me to concentrate. As more typos appeared in my writing, my speed gradually slowed down.
Just then, I heard Yao Long let out a painful scream before he fell from the sky right in front of me.
"Can you still hold on?!" I asked anxiously as I looked at the battered Yao Long.
He wiped the blood from his mouth and struggled to sit up straight. "The Azure Scale Monster is being held back by Hu Fang, but Li Zhisheng and I are no match for that person..." He paused for a moment before whispering, "Moreover, Li Zhisheng just had one of his hands bitten off by that Azure Scale Monster; he's fighting for his life now..."
Hearing this, my expression froze. "What did you say?!" I exclaimed as I looked up sharply.
Seeing my pen stop moving, Yao Long hesitated for a moment before frowning. "In any case, if you don't want us all to perish here, hurry up and eliminate the mark, then come take over the fight; otherwise, we won't stand a chance against it!"
Yao Long clenched his fist and slammed it against the ground, gritting his teeth as he stood up. He then raised the Azure Spirit in his hand, and with a swift motion, three arrows wrapped in blue flames shot forth. As the arrows flew from his grasp, he dashed in their direction.
Hearing Yao Long's words, I felt a surge of urgency and focused all my mental energy, concentrating fully as I began to write.
...
I lost track of time, but just as I finished the last period, a searing pain shot through my arm. Rolling up my sleeve, I saw that the mark had faded down to my shoulder; it was at least enough for now.
With that thought, I put away the Sheepskin Book and picked up Jiang Ling from the ground again, plunging it into my chest without hesitation. Instantly, the power of the Void Spirit surged back into me, but this time it was significantly weaker—less than half of what it had been before.
As soon as the Void Spirit emerged, it spoke to me: "I know you've managed to lessen the mark's hold on you, but my power is now less than twenty percent. If that monster's strength hasn't diminished, summoning me will be pointless..."
"A friend of mine lost an arm because of me. If I back down now, wouldn't that be an even greater betrayal of his sacrifice?!" With that resolve, I tightened my grip on Jiang Ling and charged toward the monster with a determination to face death.
In no time, I was right in front of it. The effect of time stagnation still lingered; the monster was reaching out to block Yao Long's arrows. Without hesitation, I raised my sword and severed its arm that was poised to defend itself. Channeling some of my strength into Jiang Ling, I lifted the sword above its head and shouted as I brought it down with all my might, cleaving it in two.
I thought to myself that even if this didn't kill it, at least it would drain some of its power. Just then, time resumed its flow; Yao Long's azure arrows struck the monster's head and chest simultaneously. With it now split in half by my blow, there was no chance for recovery.
In an instant, the monster's bisected body was engulfed in blue flames, collapsing to the ground without a sound or movement.
At that moment, Li Zhisheng behind Yao Long noticed me approaching. Clutching his bleeding severed arm, he spoke weakly: "You... finally... made it..."
With that, he slumped sideways. Yao Long quickly caught him and frowned at me with a hint of weakness in his voice: "If you had come any later, we might have all died here..." His gaze drifted to the side.
Following his line of sight, I saw the Azure Scale Monster lying on the ground while Hu Fang lay nearby. Ignoring whether the monster was truly dead or not, I hurried over to help Hu Fang up. She smiled weakly at me and said, "This time... I didn't hold you back..."
Hearing this, my eyes unexpectedly became moist. I looked at Hu Fang and nodded vigorously, "Yes, you didn't! It's me who held you back! It's all right now; I'll take you out..."
Just as I was about to help Hu Fang up, the Void Spirit within me spoke in a panic, "Put her down quickly; that monster is not dead yet!"
At that moment, I could no longer control myself. For some unknown reason, a strange emotion surged within me, incessantly urging me, "Kill it... kill it..."
Accompanied by this ethereal voice, it felt as if a power from deep within my soul was continuously pouring out. I slowly set Hu Fang down and grasped Jiang Ling with both hands, placing her in front of me. My eyes erupted with intense Killing Intent.
Before me, the monster whose arm I had severed was now regenerating a completely new body. It looked at me mockingly, grinning with a proud and eerie smile.
This only fueled my anger further; I wished to chop it into minced meat and then burn it to ashes.
Just as I was about to unleash my fury, suddenly a pair of hands rested on my shoulders. A somewhat familiar voice came from behind me, saying, "Enough, that's enough. The next part is my responsibility..."
