At first glance, Duanli Lexuan's back had a cut on it.
The cut was bone deep.
As Xia Chenjing's sword had the ability to exorcise evil spirits, Duanli Lexuan's soul was destroyed. She could not even say her last words and immediately disappeared.
She never thought that she would die like this.
Jiang Ming did not expect Duan Li Lexuan to die so quickly. He was stunned.
Xia Chenjing had seen too many dead people and could not help but take a deep breath.
"She's finally dead now. That's good. Otherwise, Duan Li Lexuan would still be doing all kinds of evil deeds here."
Jiang Ming opened his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, a magic array suddenly appeared.
There was a circle drawn in the center of the array, and inside the circle were scratches of all sizes.
Upon closer inspection, the scratches were actually similar to the scratches that Xia Chenjing had seen.
"What kind of strange spell is this?"
Jiang Ming became vigilant.
Those scratches immediately morphed into Duanli Lexuan, and she regained consciousness in an instant.
When she saw Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing, she said happily, "I'm back. Now, I need to myself. You didn't expect this, did you?"
In an instant, Duanli Lexuan rushed toward Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing, wishing she could cut Xia Chenjing in half.
Xia Chenjing saw Duanli Lexuan's movements clearly and slashed out with his sword.
The sword emitted a golden light that shot out in all directions. The blade rushed toward Duanli Lexuan.
Duanli Lexuan immediately disintegrated and used the same method to resurrect herself.
Jiang Ming was observing the situation.
This was the first time he had seen such a method of resurrection. It was quite interesting.
However, this made Xia Chenjing very worried.
Xia Chenjing did not expect his sword to help Duanli Lexuan instead. He was a little angry and immediately slashed forward several times.
However, the results were the same as before. His attacks were completely useless.
At this moment, Duanli Lexuan's strength had increased significantly after the repeated slashes. Even her spiritual energy had become much more supple.
Now she was no longer bothered with Xia Chenjing. Instead, she went directly to Jiang Ming's side, intending to harass Jiang Ming and make him offer his body to her.
Jiang Ming did not know what Duan Li Lexuan meant, but he also knew that she was up to no good. He took Xia Chenjing's sword.
Jiang Ming mixed a portion of his spiritual energy into the sword and slashed at Duanli Lexuan.
Duanli Lexuan laughed and said, "This attack won't work on me."
However, this time, her soul was completely destroyed.
Before she died, Duanli Lexuan glared at Jiang Ming with the last sliver of her soul and said, "How did you do it? How did you defeat me so fast?"
Jiang Ming did not quite understand either, but he still answered Duanli Lexuan's question.
"It's probably because this sword takes my spiritual energy well."
In the end, Duanli Lexuan left the painting completely and died resentfully.
The world in the painting began to collapse, and the ground shook as well. There were also some faint cracks on it.
Xia Chenjing was still immersed in his admiration for Jiang Ming just now. When he saw the current situation, he could not help but panic. He instantly said to Jiang Ming, "Ning Caichen, I'm afraid we're going to be trapped in this painting. We haven't asked Duanli Lexuan how she can get out of this painting."
Jiang Ming thought about it and remembered that the residents had jumped out just now. He said to Xia Chenjing, "Let's jump and see if we can get out."
"Ning Caichen, are you sure?" Xia Chenjing asked in confusion. "This is a little ridiculous."
Jiang Ming also felt that this method was a little ridiculous.
Being trapped in a painting was somewhat normal, but this method of getting out was very strange. However, he felt that he should give it a try.
Jiang Ming said to Xia Chenjing, "Let's give it a try. If we can't get out, we'll think of a new plan."
At the thought of this, he jumped up and down, and then he actually escaped the painting.
When Xia Chenjing realized that Jiang Ming was gone, he jumped out as well.
After the two of them came out, the painting instantly turned blank, and the beautiful scenery from before disappeared.
"It's a pity that such a beautiful painting is gone. But from now on, this painting will never harm anyone again."
Jiang Ming looked at the blank canvas in front of him, took it down, and placed it directly on the table.
"Let's go. Didn't we say we were going to the Snowy Mountain? I'm already restless."
Xia Chenjing, on the other hand, was surprised by how well things had turned out.
As soon as they came out of the room, they saw people coming and going.
Xia Chenjing couldn't help but be shocked. "That's fast. So many residents have come out so soon. I wonder where those golems are now. Didn't Duanli Lexuan say that those puppets would turn into golems?"
Jiang Ming thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because Duanli Lexuan died, so everything has disappeared."
At this moment, they saw Liang Sisi running toward them.
Liang Sisi saw that the residents were all here and could not help but worry about Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing. She asked a resident to take care of Sikong Wuyuan and came out to look for Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing.
Seeing Liang Sisi come over, Jiang Ming found it strange. He asked Liang Sisi with some confusion, "Why are you here? What about Sikong Wuyuan?"
Liang Sisi told Jiang Ming and Xia Chenjing about the situation.
"Sikong Wuyuan's current situation isn't good. He seems to be under tight control. It's as if he has gone mad. He keeps shouting."
Jiang Ming stroked his chin and said, "Duanli Lexuan's soul has already scattered. How come Sikong Wuyuan has not recovered?"
Liang Sisi did not understand and asked curiously, "Who is Duanli Lexuan? Didn't you say you were going to fight the cultivation priest? Was the cultivation priest's name Duanli Lexuan?"
Xia Chenjing told Liang Sisi everything from the beginning to the end. Liang Sisi suddenly understood. "I'm speechless. Duanli Lexuan disguised herself as a cultivation priest and harmed many people. Fortunately, these residents are safe. Otherwise, she would have destroyed the entire Stone Mud Kingdom. Then you guys go to the Snowy Mountain first. I'll go back and take care of Sikong Wuyuan."
Liang Sisi handed the jade pendant to Jiang Ming and said, "This jade pendant is useless to me, but it can be of some use to you."
"No, this thing was given to you by your father. Don't give it to us."
Jiang Ming resolutely returned the jade pendant to Liang Sisi. Seeing how persistent Jiang Ming was, Liang Sisi did not say anything else. She only said, "Ning Caichen, Xia Chenjing, have a safe journey."
