Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051: Unable to Suppress

However, once this Demonic Qi is deliberately guided, suppressing it is no easy task.

Xiao Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, her forehead was already covered with sweat, which kept flowing down her cheeks.

Her complexion grew increasingly pale, eyes tightly shut, brows deeply furrowed, and her entire body was trembling slightly.

The deliberately guided Demonic Qi within her was like a raging torrent, fiercely impacting her meridians, trying to completely devour her consciousness.

She struggled to circulate the Fire Element within her, attempting to suppress the Demonic Qi.

But the Demonic Qi seemed to carry an intense malevolence, full of corrosiveness, not only rampaging through her meridians but constantly eroding her spirit, leaving her dizzy, on the brink of collapse.

Xiao Xiao’s breathing became rapid, her chest heaving intensely.

Her fingers clutched tightly to her knees, nails nearly embedding into her flesh.

The Fire Element inside her clashed repeatedly with the Demonic Qi, each fierce confrontation causing her immense pain. She knew she had to suppress this Demonic Qi, otherwise, if it went out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the power of the Demonic Qi continued to rampage within her body, as if trying to tear her apart.

As time passed, the cold sweat on Xiao Xiao’s forehead increased, practically soaking her clothing, her complexion worsening, showcasing extreme agony.

Seeing Xiao Xiao’s struggle, the two women standing aside couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

Their eyes were full of schadenfreude, as if they saw Xiao Xiao’s inevitable collapse.

"Still dreaming of suppressing it?" One of the women said sarcastically, her voice thick with mockery, "You’re dreaming! How could you possibly suppress the Demonic Qi we stirred up?"

The other woman laughed along, "Such a joke. The Demonic Qi is already out of control inside you, no amount of struggle will help. You might as well accept fate, and wait to be consumed by Demonic Qi!"

Their cold laughter and ridicule echoed in Xiao Xiao’s ears, piercing her heart like needles.

She gritted her teeth, refusing to give up. The Fire Element in her continued to fight against the Demonic Qi, difficult as it was, she never thought of retreating.

She knew she couldn’t lose; once she lost control, the two women would escape, potentially harming Young Master Ye Qingchen.

A strong belief grew in her heart, disregarding her body’s pain, she exerted all her strength to continue fighting against the Demonic Qi.

But even so, the Demonic Qi’s encroachment remained strong, Xiao Xiao’s body kept trembling, seeming ready to collapse at any moment.

Her spirit gradually grew fuzzy, her consciousness seemed to waver under Demonic Qi’s attack.

Yet, at that moment, a steadfast thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Xiao’s mind: "No, I must not fall! Young Master is still waiting for me, I must hold on!"

Driven by this conviction, Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth and persisted, the Fire Element within her erupted fiercely again, barely suppressing the rampant Demonic Qi.

Even though her body continued to suffer intense pain, she still strived to maintain the last bit of clarity, refusing to let herself completely fall under the Demonic Qi’s control.

Seeing Xiao Xiao still resisting, the two women’s smirk slowly turned gloomy.

They hadn’t expected Xiao Xiao not to give up in such circumstances, causing them to feel a tinge of unease.

The two women glanced at each other, their eyes revealing both anxiety and determination.

They had already realized, although Xiao Xiao was struggling hard, the current situation was extremely unfavorable to her. This was their best chance to escape, and they couldn’t delay any longer.

One woman whispered urgently, "Big Sister, we can’t wait any longer. This girl isn’t fully out of control, but she’s nearly at her limit. While she’s trapped by Demonic Qi, we need to run!"

"Big Sister, you’re right." The other woman, addressed as Elder Sister, nodded. She coldly glanced at Xiao Xiao, who was desperately suppressing the Demonic Qi, then lowered her voice to continue, "She has no extra energy to stop us now. If we hesitate further, when she recovers, we won’t have a chance."

The two exchanged a quick look, Elder Sister slightly raised her head, cautiously surveying the surroundings to ensure no one noticed them. Then she quickly glanced at Xiao Xiao, finding her eyes still tightly closed, sweat still dripping from her forehead, clearly absorbed in battling the Demonic Qi, unable to care for anything else.

"Let’s go!" Elder Sister shouted quietly before suddenly moving.

They acted swiftly, almost simultaneously turning, moving as lightly as floating over the ground, silently towards the side door of the side hall.

They moved agilely, like shadows, swiftly through the darkness, not daring to look back.

Each step was taken lightly, avoiding any sound, fearing they might alert Xiao Xiao or anyone outside the hall.

Xiao Xiao’s tightly closed eyes twitched slightly, but she was fully immersed in the battle with Demonic Qi, utterly unable to focus on their actions.

The Demonic Qi within her fumed more fiercely, her consciousness gradually blurred under the pressure, nearly at its limit.

The two women took the opportunity to quickly approach the side door of the side hall.

Elder Sister reached out to gently push the door open, avoiding making any noise, then nodded to Big Sister, signaling her to go first.

Big Sister didn’t dare hesitate, immediately shifted sideways through the door crack, Elder Sister promptly followed, disappearing securely through the side door.

Outside the side door, the night was deep, the cool breeze constant, their figures swiftly merged into the darkness, like two black snakes, rapidly escaping along the palace’s perimeter path. They dared not stop, thinking only of leaving this trouble-ridden place quickly.

The two women ran frantically until they confirmed they had moved far from the side hall, then stopped.

Standing in the shadows, they breathed heavily, their faces pale, foreheads drenched with cold sweat.

Although they had successfully escaped, their expressions remained solemn, as if they had just returned from the brink of death.

Elder Sister was the first to break the silence, clutching her chest, slightly calming her rapid breathing, spoke urgently and lowly, "Big Sister, this was really dangerous! If we’d been a moment later, if that person had lost control, we’d both have died there."

Big Sister nodded repeatedly, fear lingering on her face, her tone revealing some dread, "Yes, I also thought we had no chance just now. That person seemed foolish but managed to hold on for so long. If they persisted a bit longer, we’d have been trapped!"

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but glance back at their path, even though the shadow of the side hall was no longer visible, the oppressive feeling of being pursued hadn’t dissipated.
