The Little Loli’s Army and Tou’s Resolve

“Little Black! Little Black!”

Hearing Ji Jie’s call, the Little Loli’s spirits perked up. She glanced at Tou, saying with a hint of reluctance, “You truly are lucky, but this is where it ends for you!”

“Where it ends?”

The Little Loli put away the porcelain bottle filled with Tou’s blood. She raised the sword in her hand high, and the eyes that blinked open and closed on its blade flew out in a dense swarm, like locusts, scattering in all directions.

Whether it was the deceased monkeys or the black-clad figures, all were transformed into her controllable walking dead.

Even some smaller monkeys, observing from the shadows and still alive, who fell victim to this technique, became part of the walking dead army.

A Big Monkey approached, allowing the Little Loli to perch on its neck.

“Yahoo! Big sister is off to do serious business now! Little Tree-Tree will release you in a moment, so make sure to get out of here quickly! Here’s half a bottle of Blood Qi Pills for you on the ground!”

“[^_^]/~~Bye-bye”

‘This fellow isn’t so bad after all! They actually didn’t kill me!’

Indeed, after the Little Loli departed, Tou was released from the hateful vines.

Picking up the bottle from the ground, Tou found himself in a dilemma.

The animosity he felt moments ago had completely vanished, replaced by concern for the Little Loli.

‘Just who is that Little Loli, really? Is she going back to fight Xiao Yuan? Xiao Yuan appears to have the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm; she’s bound to die!’

‘And Four-Master should be catching up by now!’

A shiver ran down Tou’s spine at the thought of being targeted by two Heavenly Human Realm cultivators.

He immediately felt the urge to retreat, to flee back to the Demonic Immortal Castle, where he could seek out his other masters to handle this matter.

Yet, if he left, the Little Loli, his own maid, the Monkey King, and the Little Monkey—they would surely be devoured by his master and Xiao Yuan!

Both of them consumed hearts, implying a connection, so it was unlikely that Four-Master and Xiao Yuan would turn on each other, allowing others to escape in the chaos.

So many thoughts swirled, leaving Tou’s mind in disarray.

‘What should I do? This is excruciating!’

When faced with indecision, one should always eat something first!

Tou swallowed a few Blood Qi Pills.

‘Oh!’

Tou felt the world become much clearer, his body brimming with boundless power.

What did he care for Heavenly Human Realms or demonesses? With such immense power, Tou feared nothing!

In a sudden rush of courage, Tou resolved to stay and confront his Fourth Master.

Despite his outwardly naive demeanor, his mind had already formulated a foolproof plan.

He would act as bait, then, with a cry of ‘Here I come!’, he would lure away either Fourth Master, Xiao Yuan, or even both of them.

Finally, after drawing close to Fourth Master, he would snatch the ring from her hand, retrieve his hair tie from within, and then surely, he wouldn’t fail to defeat them!

Filled with confidence, Tou soared into the cave.

****

Not long after Ji Jie’s call, countless small eyes, like a swarm of bees, flew towards her, landing on the corpses scattered across the ground, instantly enlivening the entire cave.

“Sister Jie! Hehehe! Look what good stuff I’ve brought you!”

The Little Loli dismounted from the Big Monkey, landing on the ground, and seeing Ji Jie unharmed, she produced several bottles of Tou’s blood, her laughter echoing.

Seeing the white bob-haired Little Loli about to pounce on her, Ji Jie’s mouth twitched, and she quickly dodged aside.

“Little Black! No, why have you turned into this form again, Little White!”

The Little Loli, having missed her embrace, said with a touch of dejection, “Sister Jie, don’t you like me like this?”

‘Like it? Like a heap of dirt!’

Ji Jie’s face darkened.

‘Little Black, Little White… they are the Black-clad Swordsman from before! A thoroughly muscular man.’

His Imperial Arm was the Evil Soul Demonic Sword, a rare mutated Imperial Arm.

Ordinary Imperial Arms grant one ability when their master reaches the Spiritual Pulse Realm, Golden Body Realm, Heavenly Human Realm, or Emperor Realm, respectively.

However, mutated Imperial Arms differ from ordinary ones in that the abilities they bestow upon their master are irregular.

Some mutated Imperial Arms are born with multiple abilities, which may increase or cease to increase with cultivation advancement.

Of course, some people’s Imperial Arms only ever possess a single ability, regardless of how much their cultivation improves.

Little Black’s Imperial Arm, his mutated Imperial Arm, granted him only one ability.

Upon forming a contract with the Imperial Arm and recognizing it with a drop of blood, he immediately knew what it was.

The Evil Soul Demonic Sword!

Little Black suffered from dissociative identity disorder, and the split personality then took over the Imperial Arm, transforming into a little girl—the Little White currently before her.

However, for Little White to manifest, the original Little Black had to become the sword.

Conversely, for Little Black to revert to his muscular form, Little White had to become the sword.

Though their personalities and genders differed, they were, in essence, one and the same person!

A Little Loli, who could transform into a muscular man, acting coquettishly and asking for hugs…

Ji Jie simply couldn’t bear it!

She had even asked Little Black before what it felt like.

Little Black had described it as ‘very soft’ and such.

“Ahem! This is hardly the time for play!” Ji Jie coughed, a hint of awkwardness in her stern voice.

It truly wasn’t the time for games; she was about to challenge the Heart-Eating Demoness Yue Ye Si.

She knew she couldn’t succeed alone, but with Little White’s forbidden Evil Eye technique, their chances of success would increase by more than half.

“A demoness, you say! Little Black didn’t summon me for no reason! Let this demoness taste the power of our forbidden art! Hehehe!”

While capable of transforming into a Little Loli, Little Black actually disliked appearing in this form.

Nevertheless, when it came to wielding forbidden arts, Little White surpassed Little Black in skill, so to confront the demoness, he had to exert his full power.

Ji Jie warned, “Be careful! She isn’t just any ordinary demoness; she is the Heart-Eating Demoness, one of the Seven Guardian Kings of the demon race from a century ago!”

“I should have guessed! Hehehe! Who else would be so obsessed with hearts? Besides, she’s the culprit who turned Xiao Yuan into a puppet! Now that we’ve encountered her, I’ll settle all the old and new scores!”

As Little White spoke, she stepped forward, her sword leaving her hand to float before her.

Numerous red, thread-like strands shot outwards, connecting all the zombie monkeys and zombie humans present, like the red strings of fate.

The zombies had already encircled Yue Ye Si, along with the two of them.

With Little White’s action, the surroundings became entangled in countless threads, making them feel as if they were encased within a gigantic cocoon!

“Forbidden Art: Spirit Fusion!”

This move of Little White’s gathered the power of all the zombies, and the human-like figure in the center, composed of red threads and resembling Little White, was the embodiment of that immense power.

Her strength was now incredibly difficult to discern, but it was undeniably at the Heavenly Human Realm.

“Hey, hey! This blood! What did you do to him?”

“Little Tou, you mean? Don’t worry! He’s perfectly fine!”

With Little White already in motion, Ji Jie couldn’t afford to fall behind.

Her Blood Kill Sword absorbed the blood of all the zombies, instantly transforming each one into a desiccated corpse.

Then, she opened the several bottles of blood Little White had given her.

The energy contained within that blood was beyond her imagination!

She immediately recognized it as Tou’s blood!

Confirming Tou was unharmed, she broke into a wide, triumphant grin.

“Hahahaha! Hahahahaha! Truly, heaven aids me! Now, Heart-Eating Demoness, you are doomed!”

The potent blood, combined with the vast amount of blood from the monkeys, swirled around Ji Jie like a vortex, then coalesced into a vibrant, crimson sword.

As Ji Jie gripped the sword, threads of blood pierced her palm, connecting with her own bloodstream and infusing her body with tremendous power.

Both of them had now elevated their strength to the Heavenly Human Realm.

Standing side by side, they roared, “Receive our wrath!”

Their combined, formidable energy ripped the cave ceiling clean off, sending it flying outwards!

That immense spiritual power surged directly into the sky, forming a striking pillar of red light in the dark night!
