Chapter 47

Striking the small one, provoking the old one to come out, this human-faced dove, judging by its size, is not an easy opponent! Sun Ergou inwardly groaned, the python bone whip forming layer upon layer of defense in front of him, slowly moving closer to Wei Shikai, forming a mutual support position.

The human-faced dove slowly descended, its sharp claws transforming into two smooth human legs in mid-air, the soles of its feet straightening, the toes gently touching the ground, followed by the arches and heels. Its wings retracted to its back, revealing slender arms, fingers like onion tubes, and the feathers on its body turning into a dark blue robe, covering its graceful figure. Above the swan-like neck, however, was still the ugly and fierce head of a human-faced dove.

Sun Ergou muttered softly, "Truly terrifying, why didn't you change your head as well!"

The python bone whip was on high alert, half of its body standing tall, the ghostly fire in its eye sockets flickering uncertainly. The human-faced dove's eyes showed a confused expression, lowering her head to recall for a moment before asking, "Is it made from the bones of a beauty python?"

Her mouth was split to below her cheeks, revealing sharp teeth, but her voice was soft and delicate, like that of a young girl in her boudoir.

Sun Ergou's heart tightened, and he said, "Yes. May I ask for your name?"

"Beauty pythons and red-eyed snakes are natural enemies of the human-faced dove, but they are no match for you cultivators. Countless human-faced doves have died at your hands, beyond number." Her gaze fell on the dead and injured human-faced doves, and she said sorrowfully.

Sun Ergou suddenly remembered an old story; his master had once refined a human-faced banner, which, once activated, could release tens of thousands of human-faced dove spirits. He shivered and couldn't help but glance at Wei Shikai, thinking, "Don't mention my master's name, and don't say I'm a disciple of the Pingyuan Sect!"

She walked gracefully to the side of the unconscious human-faced dove, squatting down elegantly, and patted it. The human-faced dove suddenly woke up, flapping its wings to stand up but forgot its left wing was broken, nearly falling over. She supported the human-faced dove, her slender hand brushing over its left wing, and with a few light clicks, it was restored.

The human-faced dove spread its wings and flew up, circling around her a few times, calling out, then dove into the Ghost Gate Abyss.

She walked to the side of the disemboweled human-faced dove and sighed, "I can't save you anymore..."

Wei Shikai moved a few steps closer to the Ghost Gate Abyss without showing any emotion. The human-faced dove, transformed into a girl, looked up at him, her voice turning sharp, "Was it you who harmed him?"

This was a case of one species mourning another, ready to avenge her descendants. Sun Ergou no longer harbored any侥幸 (侥幸 means侥幸, but in this context, it means '侥幸' or '侥幸'), and while she wasn't paying attention, he reached into his chest, crushed a jade token, and secretly encouraged Wei Shikai, "I've already informed my master, you must hold on..."

Wei Shikai ignored her completely, his bones cracking as the earth qi of the Geng element flowed continuously into the iron rod.

"An eye for an eye, a life for a life, you shall atone with your death!"

Wei Shikai took a deep breath, rapidly swinging the iron rod, forming a black shadow around his body, and gradually approached the opponent. The human-faced dove, transformed into a girl, closed her fingers, extended her well-proportioned right arm, and deftly parried a dozen strikes of the "Mad Demon Staff Technique," not retreating a single step.

Sun Ergou watched in amazement; to withstand the iron rod with her body, how formidable was this? The girl clearly wasn't using her full strength, almost toying with her opponent. Although he felt somewhat guilty towards Wei Shikai, in this situation, he should try to buy time and preserve his useful body rather than rashly rushing into the battle... He took light steps, retreating step by step. After a few steps, he felt ashamed, thinking, "A man of honor cannot abandon his companion and escape alone!" But he lacked the courage to wield the python bone whip and join the attack.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Wei Shikai risked activating the Penglai Bag, attempting to capture the girl several times, ready to fight to the death. But she wasn't a dying human-faced dove in a snow cave or a newly hatched ice silkworm; the Penglai Bag couldn't capture her at all. Instead, she noticed something and said, "What is that on your hand?"

Wei Shikai steeled his resolve, his left hand swiftly drawing the Dragon Seeking Sword, a yellow light flashing, the girl's mind trembling, and for the first time, she retreated several steps.

The opportunity was fleeting, and instead of advancing, Wei Shikai retreated, jumping into the Ghost Gate Abyss. Sun Ergou cried out in shock, not knowing why he would seek death, and the girl was also stunned, stepping forward to look down. She saw the Ghost Gate Abyss shrouded in mist, and he was already out of sight.

"Is he jumping into the abyss to seek a sliver of hope, or does he have another escape plan?" The girl wanted to fly down to investigate but was unwilling to let the other murderer go. She turned to look at Sun Ergou and said coldly, "End your own life!"

"End your own life!" Sun Ergou cursed, mustering all his strength to activate the python bone whip, a shadow of a beauty python faintly appearing.

Just as he was about to fight to the death, a sword light flashed from a distance, Qi Du arrived on his flying sword, waving his hand, and a human-faced banner fell from the sky, firmly planted on the cliff. Countless human-faced dove spirits flew out of the banner, screeching, and the girl opened her mouth wide, her face showing a pained expression.

Qi Du descended on his sword light and laughed coldly, "Qiluo, you were lucky to escape last time, but you won't have such good luck this time! My human-faced banner still lacks a main soul, so come in obediently!" He then activated his flying sword, trapping the girl in the sword light.
