Xu Fengxiong respectfully said, "You are the princess, and I am just a member of the Imperial Guard."

"Who said that? You are already a cultivator, and my senior brother at that. What’s wrong with calling me by my name?"

Zheng Yuhuan caught up and said, "Besides, you’re supposed to be guarding Yuelong Palace. How did you end up at Linxiao Palace? You must be worried about me, right?"

"This..."

Xu Fengxiong instinctively glanced at Zheng Yuyao and quickly said, "I came to protect Your Majesty."

"Liar...!"

"Langhuan, don’t be childish."

Zheng Yuyao stopped Zheng Yuhuan and asked, "Xu Fengxiong, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Xu Fengxiong inwardly felt grateful and quickly changed the topic, "To the Princess, I sensed that the monster is not dead; its presence still lingers!"

"What?"

Zheng Yuhuan exclaimed, "How is that possible? The monster’s body is gone, leaving only a head!"

"The Imperial Noble Consort is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and used the Talisman Treasure bestowed by my father..."

Zheng Yuyao said, "Xu Fengxiong is also a Celestial Spirit Root Cultivator, with formidable Divine Thought, his perceptiveness surpasses ours."

As she spoke, she looked up and saw that the blood-red arc cleaved by the Blood Demon Blade Talisman was still suspended midair.

Particularly where the half-human, half-demon monster’s head was.

But strangely, a dense black qi was emanating from the wound on the floating head, resisting the erosion of the Blood Evil Qi from the Blood Demon Blade Talisman.

"It’s indeed not dead!"

"Imperial Noble Consort!"

"Quick! Kill it!"

Tuoba Qingying in the air had already noticed the peculiarity of the head, frowning, she immediately put away the Blood Demon Blade Talisman.

This Talisman has great power, likely crafted by a Nascent Soul Ancestor, no telling where Your Majesty obtained it.

But its restrictions are equally significant, requiring lots of time to gather magical power.

After using it once, it cannot be used immediately again; a period of time must pass.

To completely resolve this half-human, half-demon monster, the Talisman cannot be used again short-term.

However, she wasn’t worried. With a single hand forming a hand seal, she pointed ahead.

"Boom...!"

The Cold Demon Illusion conjured by the Cold Demon Pearl erupted with a roar, charging at the half-human, half-demon monster.

"Hahaha...hahahaha!"

Suddenly, the half-human, half-demon monster burst into laughter.

Only the head remained, yet he wasn’t dead; instead, large quantities of black qi flowed from his seven orifices, spreading in all directions.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Cold Demon Chill and the dense black qi from the head collided, creating massive waves.

"Such a rich bloody aura~ If it were another Talisman Treasure, I’d fear it a bit, but this Qi Blood Talisman is what I’m best at~!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, the head shot forward rapidly, immediately reaching Du Fushan.

Du Fushan’s face changed drastically; instinctively, he slapped fiercely with both hands, causing the Hundred Ghosts Banner behind him to swell dramatically.

An Evil Ghost with a single horn emerged swiftly from the Hundred Ghosts Banner, rushing toward the half-human, half-ghost demon.

"Scram~!"

"Just a low-grade Inferior Ghost dares to obstruct me!"

With a swift exhale, a blast of black qi came, instantly blowing the single-horned Evil Ghost away.

At the same time, its mouth opened wide, causing the whole head to expand abruptly to a height of one zhang, swallowing Du Fushan in one gulp.

"Hahaha~ Fellow Daoist Du, for the future of my Star Island, I have claimed this life!"

"Puff!"
