Although there was a man present, she absolutely refused to do such a thing.
She hadn't known Luo Feng for long, and even if she were to die here today, she would never resort to that.
She valued her integrity far too much.
With this thought, Su Yunxi immediately flew down toward the now-dog-like Tiger-Headed Eagle.
Once she reached its side, the Tiger-Headed Eagle began emitting energy again to repel the Lustful Mist from her body.
Soon, all traces of the Lustful Mist had left her.
Yet, the lingering sensation remained stubbornly rooted in her mind.
From now on, she couldn't afford to come into contact with the Lustful Mist again—otherwise, she could already foresee the consequences.
If things truly escalated to that point, she wouldn't hesitate to use her abilities to escape, no matter the cost.
Luo Feng, however, remained unaware of Su Yunxi's thoughts.
Her transformation had turned her into a genuine Little Eagle-headed Owl.
Even with the Clairvoyance Charm, Luo Feng couldn't detect anything unusual—she appeared completely real.
This method was far more advanced than Xiao Huo Huo's possession of animal corpses.
At that moment, Luo Feng was fully focused on slashing apart the Lust Mist Orb.
The once-massive orb had now been reduced to the size of a palm.
Within that tiny crimson sphere were only the Twin Red Ghosts.
Seeing that he was on the verge of eliminating them, Luo Feng couldn't help but smirk.
He was no saint who would show mercy just because they were beautiful.
Anyone who opposed him would not be spared.
Luo Feng raised his Mystic Ice Blade, ready to cleave the small red orb in two and end the battle swiftly.
But just then, the orb suddenly erupted with a surge of scarlet light.
The beams shot toward the Soul Spirit Tree at blinding speed, where they were promptly absorbed.
In response, the Sapience Fruit on the tree began radiating its own eerie red glow, spreading outward in all directions.
This new light was strikingly different—far more sinister and mesmerizing.
Even a fleeting glance from a distance threatened to ensnare one's mind.
The sudden shift unsettled Luo Feng, stirring chaotic thoughts within him.
Instinctively, he wanted to look closer at the changes occurring on the Soul Spirit Tree.
But Xiao Qian's voice abruptly cut through his distraction, warning, "The Soul Spirit Fruit has ripened.
Do not look directly at it, or your soul will be affected.
What you perceive may no longer be real.
Your body could act against your will, controlled by your soul—without you even realizing what you're doing.
If that happens, the Twin Red Ghosts will seize the chance to strike.
We Crimson Specters are immune to the Soul Spirit Fruit's influence."
The two of them were planning to accelerate the ripening of the Soul Spirit Fruit to use it against you."
Upon hearing Xiao Qian's words, Luo Feng was startled. He hadn't expected the Twin Crimson Specters to possess such an ability—forcing the Soul Spirit Fruit to mature prematurely.
If Xiao Qian hadn't warned him, Luo Feng might have truly fallen into their trap.
"Devious and cunning" was perhaps the best way to describe ghosts like them.
However, this act came at a great cost to themselves.
Otherwise, they would have already hastened the fruit's ripening and claimed it long ago.
This expenditure was a permanent injury to them.
They would never use such an ability unless absolutely desperate.
Originally, according to their plan, when the Soul Spirit Fruit was nearing maturity, they would merge their forms. Combined with their recent increase in strength, they could seize the opportunity to eliminate all the approaching Level 5 creatures in one fell swoop.
This would prevent those Level 5 creatures from returning in the future.
But the course of events had not unfolded as they had anticipated.
Now, they were on the verge of being killed by Luo Feng.
If they didn't resort to drastic measures, they might truly perish here today.
Normally, their merged form reached the peak of Level 5 strength. Moreover, within the Red Mist Zone, they could Mist, making them capable of holding their own even against Level 6 creatures.
They might not be able to kill a Level 6 being, but it was nearly impossible for one to kill them.
Their greatest ability allowed them to fuse with the Red Mist, appearing and vanishing unpredictably—utterly untraceable.
Yet, this crucial ability was completely ineffective against Luo Feng.
Being unable to use it was nothing short of a devastating blow to them.
They couldn't just stand by and let themselves be killed.
Their only option was to employ that last resort—accelerating the Soul Spirit Fruit's ripening to divert Luo Feng's attention.
If they could bewitch him, it would be an incredible boon for them.
However, to their dismay, Luo Feng didn't even glance at the fruit. Instead, his focus remained fixed on them.
The Mystic Ice Blade in Luo Feng's hand was now enveloped in an intense concentration of Ice-Fire Energy.
If he continued gathering energy, the blade might soon erupt in an Explosion.
Without further hesitation, Luo Feng directed the Mystic Ice Blade toward the crimson sphere before him.
The sphere attempted to flee, but Luo Feng left it no chance.
A surge of frost rapidly coalesced around the sphere, instantly Freezing it in place.
Under the corrosive influence of the Red Mist, the ice began to melt swiftly.
The sphere darted frantically, trying to evade the Mystic Ice Blade's strike.
Just as the blade neared the sphere—
"Stop," Luo Feng uttered a single word.
The violently thrashing sphere froze mid-motion, completely immobilized.
The Mystic Ice Blade descended.
It cleaved through the sphere as effortlessly as slicing tofu.
The sphere split cleanly in two, and the Twin Crimson Specters within were reduced to shattered fragments.
After their demise, the area erupted into violent tremors.
An immense Red Mist spread out in all directions before Luo Feng.
"Today, all of you will die here."
From within this vast Red Mist came a voice filled with utter misery.
A crimson Mist Crystal materialized before Luo Feng.
At the same time, the surrounding Crimson Specters began desperately charging toward this location.
