The ice pillar struck by the aura of the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade cracked at this moment, with several fissures emerging on the crystal-clear surface, glittering with a pale blue light.

Just a few inches away from the head within the ice pillar, the blade's energy dissipated.

And the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, emitting a purple glow, stabbed into the ground the moment Chen Hao's headless body fell.

"Woof!" The two hunting hound ghouls let out a high-pitched bark, uncertain whether they were signaling to King Xin outside the cave that the danger had passed or mourning the departure of the snow wolf ghoul.

The barking of the hounds reverberated off the cave's colorful, illuminated stone walls.

Suddenly, a black-purple light flickered across the left eye of Chen Hao's still-bleeding head in front of them.

The two hunting hound ghouls looked at each other, exchanging confused glances.

At that moment, the pool of blood on the ground flowed back into Chen Hao's body, and then his head rolled back to his neck over the uneven ground, as the severed wound rapidly knitted together.

"Woof!" One of the hunting hound ghouls barked sharply, then leaped forward, once again biting off Chen Hao's head from his neck, and, holding Chen Hao's head in its jaws, it dashed swiftly towards the cave exit.

It was off to report the situation to King Xin.

The other hunting hound ghoul approached Chen Hao's headless corpse slowly, sniffed it, then discarded the idea of eating Chen Hao's body, and ran out of the cave while panting.

Half a minute later,

Seeing a hunting hound ghoul running towards her with Chen Hao's head, Ye Yuqiao's heart trembled violently and she was filled with raging fury! If only the Nether King's Power within her wasn't depleted, she would have killed that ghoul instantly!

On the hunting hound ghoul's part, noticing that King Xin was being controlled by Ye Yuqiao, it first forcefully shook its head to fling Chen Hao's head into the sky, then took large strides, charging towards Ye Yuqiao.

"Bang!" The hunting hound ghoul collided with the air Ye Yuqiao had solidified using the Nether King's Power, its sharp teeth only inches from Ye Yuqiao's head.

After falling to the ground, the hunting hound ghoul backed up a bit before gathering strength and once more charging forward, hurling itself towards the air solidified by Ye Yuqiao.

Feeling the tremor in the air she solidified, Ye Yuqiao frowned, worried that she would not be able to hold on if the hunting hound ghoul kept ramming into it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a differently colored hunting hound ghoul emerged from the mouth of the cave, casting a shadow over Ye Yuqiao's face. Her only hope was that Chen Hao would come back to life and arrive before the air solidified by her was shattered by the two ghouls. However, at the moment, Chen Hao's head was still rolling down the mountainside, which left her feeling despondent.

At the entrance of the cave, the hunting hound ghoul that had followed behind stopped in its tracks upon seeing a corpse that still had a faint trace of Yang Energy.

Usually, after consuming human flesh, a ghoul's strength would greatly increase. Consequently, the hunting hound ghoul tore open Ye Fei's body with its sharp claws and then began greedily devouring the flesh from Ye Fei's body.

After gulping down a few mouthfuls, the ghoul howled and then charged forward vigorously, slamming into the air solidified by Ye Yuqiao.

As it collided, Ye Yuqiao could distinctly feel the solidified air around her loosening slightly, and the faint sound of wind also began to drift into her ears.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

... ...

Following that, with the two ghouls taking turns charging at her relentlessly, the solidified air around Ye Yuqiao shook more and more violently, and the wind sounds she heard grew increasingly urgent.

"Boyfriend, you can do it!" Ye Yuqiao whispered to herself, hoping. By now, Chen Hao's head had finally stopped rolling away, thanks to the Nether King's Heart, and was rapidly returning to the top of the mountain.

"Ahh!" King Xin's roar echoed again, the air around her, once solidified, began to tremble.

Suddenly.

"Woo, woo!" The hunting dog ghoul that had just consumed Ye Fei's flesh let out a low, mournful howl before collapsing to the ground, looking as if it were at death's door.

"Ao!" The other hunting dog ghoul approached it, whining softly as if to offer consolation.

"Woo, woo!" The wails of the collapsed hunting dog ghoul became more plaintive and softer until, after struggling with its eyelids a few times, it closed its eyes as if it were dead and its spirit and soul scattered.

"Ao, woo, ao, woo!" The remaining hunting dog ghoul let out a pitiful and mournful howl, watching the Primordial Spirit and soul particles drift toward the sky, bidding a reluctant farewell to its companion.

Half a minute later, the hunting dog ghoul suddenly shook its head fiercely and glared at Ye Yuqiao. The green glow in its eyes was now deeper and more dazzling than before—it was the power of its anger!

After a sharp bark, it threw itself with all its might against the air Ye Yuqiao had solidified.

"Hiss, hoo, hoo!" The whistling of frigid wind rang in Ye Yuqiao's ears as the air she had solidified with the Nether King's Power became fluid again, and the four King Xins in front of her regained their ability to move.

With a roar, all four King Xins expelled the last remnants of the Nether King's Power from within them.

"Woof, woof!" The hunting dog ghoul barked twice at King Xin, seemingly reporting the situation inside the cave.

Once King Xin knew that the severed head inside was unharmed, her knitted brows relaxed, and then she sneered at Ye Yuqiao, "Next, it's your turn to experience agony beyond endurance!"

"Fancy this girl?" King Xin asked the hunting dog ghoul beside her.

"Woof!" The hunting dog ghoul barked cheerfully.

"Good! After I've crippled her, I'll hand her over for you to enjoy. Make sure to send her off in comfort!"

As she spoke, King Xin's eyes suddenly turned fierce. Then, four red mists emerged from their bodies, surging towards Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao closed her eyes, calmly accepting the impending pain.

"Ying, ying, ying!"

At the crucial moment, the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword suddenly appeared from behind Ye Yuqiao and collided with the red mist in front of her, carrying with it a strong burst of Yang Energy that it had absorbed from Chen Hao's beheaded body just half a minute ago.

"A wretched sword!" King Xins exclaimed in unison. Then they each swept their sleeves, unleashing fierce gales from their cuffs that enveloped the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword, carrying it away into the distant sky until it shrank to a twinkling star and vanished in the snowy, vast night sky.

"Woof, woof!" Suddenly, the hunting dog ghoul that smelled Chen Hao's blood let out urgent barks and looked toward the cave entrance, where Chen Hao's head was swiftly drifting, followed by a trail of dark purple smoke.

"Quick, stop that kid from resurrecting," King Xin commanded with a smile, "and then bring that head to me. After that, the girl is all yours to enjoy!"

After an excited agreement, the thrilled hunting dog ghoul dashed towards the Fairy Cave like a shooting star.
