Xia Mo had already conjured several orbs of Magic Power.
Once any Evil Intent was pulled out by Luo Shuangyue, she would blast it to destroy it.
Even without a weapon, she was still a Magical Girl; she still knew the most basic Magic combat.
As for Luo Shuangyue… she had now extended her consciousness into Anxing’s Original Magic Power, systematically using her own Demonic Energy to purify Anxing’s Original Magic Power.
As she expected, the Evil Intent in Anxing’s consciousness was far stronger than Xiaozi’s.
Their will to resist was also quite intense; she had to expend a great deal of effort to catch them in her Demonic Energy and pack them off.
“At a time like this, you should cooperate a bit. Stop resisting, okay?” What made Luo Shuangyue even more speechless was that not only was the Evil Intent resisting her, but Anxing’s own consciousness was also resisting.
Yes, Anxing was also resisting.
She was unwilling to let Luo Shuangyue take away the Evil Intent in her heart.
When Luo Shuangyue sent a message telling Anxing to cooperate, the response sent back by Anxing’s blurred consciousness was that she wouldn’t do it; she felt she was fine as she was.
When the person you want to save doesn’t want to be saved, it is truly frustrating.
However, Luo Shuangyue could understand Anxing’s perspective.
After all, all Demons had Evil Intent, and nothing had happened to the other Demons because of it.
So why should Anxing cooperate with Luo Shuangyue to strike a lethal blow against a part of her own consciousness?
Would she still be herself after the Evil Intent was stripped away?
In truth, Luo Shuangyue didn’t know the answer, and from start to finish, she hadn’t considered Anxing’s own thoughts.
She only knew that Anxing currently had no ability to resist.
If she didn’t hurry and purify Anxing’s Evil Intent now, later on, she would have no choice but to purify Anxing in her entirety.
The damage caused that way would only be greater.
Plus, she also needed a Demon Emperor to practice on, so the matter was decided.
“Whether you are willing or not, I will not change my mind. Who told me I wasn’t a good person to begin with?”
Whether the experimental subject agreed with her actions or not was meaningless to Luo Shuangyue. Would she give up just because Anxing refused?
Impossible.
Anxing was a Demon, and Demons were Luo Shuangyue’s enemies. Why would she reason with an enemy?
So, after sensing the resistance deep within Anxing’s heart, Luo Shuangyue didn’t waver in the slightest.
Instead, she increased her strength, absorbing the Evil Intent while beginning to attack Anxing’s consciousness.
Your reckless resistance is making things difficult for me, so I’m going to knock you completely unconscious!
A massive amount of Demonic Energy flooded into Anxing’s Original Magic Power, completely suppressing Anxing’s consciousness.
Countless tiny tentacles seeped into the interior of the Original Magic Power, taking away the things Anxing cherished bit by bit.
Anxing cried and threw a fit in her heart, like a little girl whose favorite toy was being snatched by another child, bitterly pleading with Luo Shuangyue not to take her things away.
But Luo Shuangyue, acting as the bad child, was completely unmoved.
She permeated Anxing’s consciousness with absolute force, taking away every bit of the hidden Evil Intent.
As more and more things were taken away, Anxing’s consciousness gradually became blurred, and the resistance she put up grew weaker.
This allowed Luo Shuangyue’s absorption speed to improve significantly.
By the end, Anxing’s consciousness could only emit short, single characters that couldn’t carry any meaning.
She had been sifted through by Luo Shuangyue from the inside out, having a part of her innate nature completely stripped away from her.
Undoubtedly, this was a heavy blow to her consciousness.
She would definitely be different from before when she woke up, but exactly how different, Luo Shuangyue could not yet judge.
She just felt a bit tired now.
Although Anxing’s resistance was truly weak, performing such a detailed surgery on a spiritual level was a considerable burden for her.
After withdrawing her consciousness from Anxing’s body, Luo Shuangyue let out a long sigh of relief.
She felt like sleeping now.
Glancing at the bright sky, she subconsciously looked toward the onlookers nearby and asked a question that might not even be a question: “How long did I take?”
She remembered she started during the day, and it was still daytime now. It shouldn’t have taken much time… right?
Regrettably, this guess was quickly rejected by Xia Mo.
“A day and a half.” Xia Mo pinched out the light orbs around her one by one and stated a duration that surprised Luo Shuangyue.
A day and a half?
Luo Shuangyue remembered that when she cleared the Evil Intent for Xiaozi, it took very little time.
As it turned out, with Anxing, it actually took a full day and a half?
Although the situations between the two were very different, the essence was the same.
“I suddenly feel a bit of Despair regarding the future.” She lay flat on the ground, her body shrinking back into her little girl form, and then spoke helplessly.
The gap between Xiaozi and Anxing was huge, so was the gap between Anxing and that terrifying existence they were going to deal with large?
It was certainly massive as well.
Anxing could slap Xiaozi to death with one hand, while the Holy Sovereign would probably only need four or five slaps to kill Anxing.
“It’s not time for you to feel Despair yet. I discovered a major problem while purifying the Evil Intent just now. The purification effect of my Magic Power on Evil Intent isn’t as strong as you said. If it weren’t for these Mentors continuously providing me with power, I would have undergone Costume Dissolution due to insufficient Magic Power before you finished stripping the Evil Intent.”
Xia Mo spread her hands, bringing Luo Shuangyue another piece of bad news.
She had realized something was wrong when she purified the first wisp of Evil Intent brought out by Luo Shuangyue.
Those black-red Butterflies that Luo Shuangyue described as being as fragile as eggs were practically as hard as stone in the face of her Magic Power.
Her light cannon needed to shine on them for a long time to be able to purify those strands of Evil Intent.
“That shouldn’t be a big problem. When the time comes, you won’t need to use your Magic Power to purify the Evil Intent.” Luo Shuangyue’s gaze drifted toward that Star Branch Sword that hadn’t been moved since it appeared.
The Evil Intent she stripped away would be slain by this sword.
And this task still needed to be completed by Xia Mo.
“At that time, my consciousness will definitely enter the Spiritual World to fight the Evil Intent. I’ll have to leave the matters outside to you.”
“But, this is your Mother’s sword, I might not…” Xia Mo looked at the sword, her expression hesitant.
She didn’t know if she was qualified to use that sword.
That was Mentor White Night’s sword; how could she be qualified to use it?
“I don’t know how to use an Avatar technique. Besides, Mother could directly send the sword to my side; how could she not know what our situation is like?” Luo Shuangyue stood up from the ground, took Xia Mo’s hand, and walked to the side of the sword.
“My Mother sent the sword over because she decided to let you use it.”
Luo Shuangyue said with absolute certainty.
As she spoke, she gripped Xia Mo’s hand and moved with her to touch the hilt of the sword.
The Long Sword still emitted a soft White Light, not changing in the slightest due to the touch of the two.
Xia Mo felt a warm Magic Power slowly flood into her body, and a sense of realization dawned in her mind. She could now pull up this sword; she could use this sword.
Luo Shuangyue was right; White Night had indeed granted her the right to use the sword.
Even more, she heard a very, very soft voice, filled with encouragement and even a hint of… satisfaction?
What was she satisfied with? Xia Mo’s face quietly turned a bit red.
“See, I was right.” Luo Shuangyue had already let go of her hand, and now Xia Mo was alone holding this Long Sword that belonged to her Mother.
The sword did not resist because the owner’s daughter let go; its light even became softer, as if encouraging Xia Mo not to be afraid.
Xia Mo took a deep breath, pulled the sword from the ground, and held it tightly in her arms.
“I won’t let Mentor down!” she said firmly.
The moment she pulled the sword, a terrifying surge of energy suddenly exploded outward with her as the center, making the Six-eyed Crow and the others’ hearts skip a beat in fear.
Intuition told them that this power was enough to erase them from this world in an instant.
That was a power even stronger than the Holy Sovereign!
“This… this is…” The Six-eyed Crow stared blankly at the sword in Xia Mo’s arms, unable to speak for a moment.
It wasn’t until Luo Shuangyue walked to its side and firmly patted its claw. “Big Crow, I’m going to take a nap. Fly a bit more steadily when you take us back later.”
“Of course, no problem. But what is the deal with that sword?”
“Oh, that’s my Mother’s sword. She told me to take this sword to save your Holy Sovereign.”
“You… two? But isn’t the Holy Sovereign…”
“I have two Mothers. One is Mother, and I used to call the other Father, but thinking about it now, I should probably call her Mother too.”
