Unparalleled, fearless and calm.

Although Iris's fierce and killing aura seemed to freeze the surrounding air, Unparalleled did not flinch. He gazed deeply into Iris's blood-red eyes, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

"It is truly surprising that the mighty Demon Emperor would inhabit the body of a young girl!" Unparalleled's tone was contemptuous, filled with mockery and taunting.

Iris remained expressionless, the black flames burning fiercer, a scent of burning filling the air.

"You actually know me?" Chaos spoke in Iris's voice, a flash of bloodlust in her eyes, and a strong intent to kill permeating her being, as if she came from the depths of hell.

As the words fell, Iris's figure instantly disappeared, a sound of explosion coming from the air, and black flames attached themselves to the barrel of the gun like a dragon.

Unparalleled only felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, he did not dodge nor confront it, silently standing in place and watching Chaos charging towards him.

"Thrust!"

Unparalleled was pierced in the chest by the silver-winged gun enveloped in black flames. The flames, like a living dragon, quickly entered Unparalleled's body through the barrel of the gun.

Unparalleled could only feel a burning sensation spreading throughout his body, as if a hissing and flaming dragon was rampaging inside his flesh, attempting to incinerate him from the inside out.

"No, stop!" he roared, but was unable to stop the flames from spreading within him. Soon, the intense pain overwhelmed his consciousness and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Chaos coldly observed his brief struggle and pain, until Unparalleled completely lost his vitality, she then pulled out the silver-winged gun.

Baixi stared blankly at this sudden turn of events, unable to help but exclaim, "This guy in black robe with black hair is so weak! He was killed with just a single shot. Mom is really powerful."

Chaos, manipulating Iris's body, approached Baixi. With a wave of her hand, the black flames surrounding Baixi dissipated.

"Mom!" Baixi cried out, throwing herself into Iris's arms. Her eyes were red, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face, seemingly with endless grievances.

Chaos silently watched this scene, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"Wuwuwu..." Baixi sobbed, "Mom, do you know how much suffering I've endured these past few days? And I was so scared too. I encountered an old woman who threw a bug at me, she definitely wanted to kill me."

Baixi continued to describe her longing and hardships of these past few days while sobbing.

"I am not Iris," Chaos interrupted Baixi's ramblings, her tone particularly indifferent.

"Ah? So crying for nothing?" Baixi immediately stopped crying, wide-eyed with confusion.

Chaos: "..."

"Are you another soul in Mom's body?" Baixi asked, her gaze complicated, unsure of how to react.

Before Chaos could answer, Baixi spoke again, "In any case, consider everything that just happened as if it didn't, otherwise it won't be just a broken leg for you if Mom finds out I've been pretending to be pitiful."

As Baixi said these words, the control over her body had already returned to Iris.

A hint of anger appeared on Iris's previously indifferent face, she slowly spoke, "In this state, your mother won't know that you're lying to her."

"Tell me, what have you discovered these past few days? Otherwise, I will have to tell your mother about the convincing performance just now!" A mischievous smile appeared on Iris's face, wanting to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

"I was thinking about finding a resurrection spell to resurrect my grandmother, so that the relationship between my aunt and my mother could become the same as before. Then slowly regain my aunt's memory, and my cousin can experience a mother's love." Baixi slowly expressed her thoughts, her face full of anticipation and longing.

Iris fell silent after listening, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. Since Baixi had such intentions, there was no need to punish her for it.

After all, she was still young and didn't understand many things.

In a sense, Lilia wasn't really dead, she just lived on with a different identity.

"Let's go back." Iris finally spoke, her tone filled with a sense of melancholy, but also with a sense of relief.

Just as the two were about to leave, a human figure, blackened all over and with half of its face showing bones, ran towards Baixi like a zombie.

"That's the old woman who tried to kill me." Baixi pointed ahead.

She showed no fear of the murderous intent emanating from Iris.

Iris nodded, took a step forward, and instantly appeared in front of the zombie-like old woman. Her figure passed through the body of the zombie like a ghost, directly reaching its head. With a flick of her right hand, a silver-winged longsword pierced through the zombie's skull.

"I can kill once, and I can kill a second time." As the old woman fell, her eyes constantly stared at Baixi, and she kept shouting, "My appearance... my appearance..."

Iris saw the tenacity of the old woman's life force, and her left hand ignited White Flame, while her right hand ignited Black Flame. One left, one right, she threw them towards the body of the zombie-like old woman.

Soon, the old woman turned into ashes under the burning of the two flames.

With a gust of wind, it scattered.

The pharmacist sensed that the old woman had died completely, and couldn't help but think of the Demon Emperor, "It seems that His Majesty is ahead."

It is difficult for ordinary mages to kill the resurrected old woman, as her body will constantly regenerate. However, the old woman had previously been affected by the Black Flame, making it impossible for her body to recover and only able to move forward with a charred body.

Before long, the pharmacist arrived in front of the mother and daughter, Ying and Bai.

Iris only felt her scalp numb as she saw the woman with six arms, holding golden ears of grain, with thorns wrapped around her legs and golden anklets as decorations.

Her wrists, forearms, chest, and shins were all adorned with red eyes, which looked quite horrifying.

Iris tightened her spear, ready to attack at any moment.

"The bountiful demon, Pharmacist, we are allies. Let her examine Baixi's body to ensure that there are no foreign objects that can compete with you for summoning creatures." Chaos's voice echoed in Iris's mind.

The pharmacist slowly bowed to Iris. "Long time no see, Your Majesty."

Iris just nodded, checking her body for any abnormalities.

"Yes!" As the words fell, the pharmacist waved the ear of grain in her hand and examined Baixi's body. After a moment, she placed it on Baixi's abdomen, and with the infusion of purifying power, Baixi directly vomited a large mouthful of green blood.

"For now, she's fine. She needs to vomit blood a few more times."

"As long as she's okay, let's go back."

...

Wushuang did not die, he used the Golden Cicada Shedding technique to escape.

The Golden Cicada Shedding technique appeared as a small golden insect, about the size of a fingernail, with a hard shell that emitted a cold and stern light through its raised compound eyes. It curled up its four limbs, appearing fragile, but contained astonishing secret techniques within.

The cost of using this Gu is the complete shedding of the person's skin, leaving only the exposed flesh of the body, and the black robes are stained red with blood.

Wushuang is in intense pain, as if being skinned alive. He endures the pain, stumbling into the bushes, desperately suppressing the spasms and groans in fear of being discovered by Chaos.

This secret technique not only damages the body, but also requires a large amount of concurrent power. Fortunately, I didn't go all out to snatch the exotic beasts, otherwise the Demon Emperor will surely kill me when he sees me.

I need to get back to the village quickly, otherwise I will bleed to death.

Although he has healing Gu on his body, he doesn't have the concurrent power to drive it, so he must hurry back, otherwise he will die.
