Zuo Wuxiong tried his best to launch an attack on the young woman.
He was originally a fourth-grade warrior, and when he made this move, the wild energy exploded and erupted with his punch after punch.
Bang bang bang bang bang... Each of his punches could easily split monuments and rocks.
But every punch was blocked.
Zuo Wuxiong spun around and kicked, leaving a trail of afterimage.
The moment the young woman stretched out her hand to intercept, he had already flashed behind her and kicked her shoulder with a sharp kick.
His punches were powerful and powerful, but they also contained mysterious killing moves that he used suddenly and deceived countless people.
This kick gathered all his strength. Astonishing energy was concentrated in his leg and burst out the moment it hit the young woman.
The young woman stepped on the ground and moved sideways three feet... but that was all.
The next moment, the young woman's attacks came one after another... Zuo Wuxiong's advantage in moves was not enough to offset her strong power.
Bang, the young woman's palm force pushed in front of Zuo Wuxiong. Zuo Wuxiong crossed his arms in horror, and after a loud bang, his arm bones were broken and twisted.
His two hands were grabbed by the young woman, and there was another bang. He was kicked in the lower abdomen by her, causing his small intestine to be twisted and his lungs to be dislocated. The twisting point continued to spread, and even his thighs were deformed.
Zuo Wuxiong let out a heart-wrenching scream.
His two hands were torn apart by the woman and thrown to the left and right with blood, and the woman's hands were pressed on his forehead.
She let out a sharp and angry cry: "You evil villains, pay for my father's life!" Bang.
Zuo Wuxiong's head exploded under her palm.
The pale brain matter and red blood were stained on her sleeves and skirt, and she laughed crazily.
There was a slight puff and her body shook.
Ming Yueshu punched a vital point on her back with his small fist.
The young woman staggered a few steps and looked back angrily, and the next wave of attack had already arrived.
Shi Hao, who was guarding in the distance, and Sha Lingshan, Xu Xiaoyan and Xiao Feicui, who were on the cliff, only saw in that instant that several phantoms of female infants appeared around the young woman.
The scattered phantoms crossed each other at the same time, and several sharp rays burst out from the young woman's body.
Her eyes were bulging, blood was coming out of her mouth, and she was staggering.
The goddess baby appeared behind her, with a pistol in each of her left and right hands.
With two "chi" sounds, two pistols pierced through the young woman's back at the same time, piercing her entire body.
Ming Yueshu grabbed the young woman's neck with her small hand, and stood up, as if walking on air, and flew past Shi Hao: "Let's go."
Shi Hao turned around and chased after her, running towards the Sanying Ghost Cave again.
Sha Lingshan and Xu Xiaoyan jumped off the cliff. Xu Xiaoyan shouted, "What happened to that woman just now?"
Sha Ling fanned herself and smiled, "When they come out, we'll know."
Looking at the corpses on the ground in front of him, with their limbs and bodies twisted, each one looking weird and inexplicable, Xu Xiaoyan murmured, "I won't be able to eat for at least three days."
A slight sound came from the Sanying Ghost Cave, and then it seemed as if a breeze was blowing out from inside, and they both felt refreshed.
The fog gathered in the air also dissipated, and under the sunlight, the blood on the ground reflected a red luster.
The noise on the earth soon quieted down, and the murderous aura emanating from the Sanying Ghost Cave also disappeared.
After a while, they saw Shi Hao and Ming Yueshu walking out slowly.
The two flew over, and Xu Xiaoyan asked, "Did it work?"
Chapter 287 Subtle Illusion
Ming Yueshu said softly, "We finally subdued her and the monster underground, but I still don't quite understand why she and her three companions were able to enter the Three-Tassel Ghost Cave without any harm, and why she was able to borrow the power of the monster when the magic circle was not completely destroyed."
Shi Hao said: "At that moment, I saw her hand was stained with black evil energy. She inserted that hand into her own chest and grabbed her heart. Then the power of the demon came over. It felt like some kind of sacrifice."
Xu Xiaoyan asked: "Could it be that she is also from the Demon Sect?"
Ming Yueshu shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like it."
Looking at the twisted corpses on the ground, he sighed and said, "Let's go in first."
Sha Lingshan and Xu Xiaoyan looked towards the crevice in the mountain together.
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the power of the monster has been completely sealed by the Nine Stars Locking Veins Formation. Even if an ordinary person goes in, it will be fine."
Xu Xiaoyan immediately became excited: "Then let's go in and take a look."
It would definitely be a lie to say that I am not curious about the situation inside the "Three-Tassel Ghost Cave".
Following Mingyueshu into the Sanying Ghost Cave, they first passed by the stone formations.
Although the evil spirit had been suppressed at this moment, these twisted stone peaks could not recover and still appeared in various hideous and terrifying ghost forms.
Although the gray fog has dissipated, it still makes people feel scared.
Xu Xiaoyan muttered: "If I were alone, I wouldn't even dare to come in."
Shi Hao said: "That's because you have no reason to come in."
He believed that if Xiaoyan's sister died in here, given her personality, she would rush in regardless of her own safety even though she knew she would die.
Ming Yueshu sighed and said, "The woman surnamed Zhao is most likely the daughter of Zhao Jinghua. The other three are also righteous men in the Lingnan martial arts world. Alas, if I had a choice, I would not want them to die here."
Shi Hao shook his head and said, "Yue'er, no matter what the reason is for them to come to this point, it is their own choice. We don't need to care about how many difficulties they have and how pitiful they are. From our point of view, no matter how many excuses they have, they are not reasons for us to let them go."
Ming Yueshu nodded slightly... She actually knew this.
Coming to the dead silent village, without the bloody mist floating around, it looked and felt like just an abandoned, desolate village.
Xu Xiaoyan asked: "Where is that woman?"
Shi Hao said: "He was taken underground, buried with earth and rocks, and then suppressed with the Nine Stars Locking Veins Formation."
Sha Lingshan laughed and said, "So, it means he was buried alive?"
Xu Xiaoyan muttered: "Although it's cruel, she deserves it. She asked for death."
Shi Hao frowned: "It would be better if I just died here. I hope I won't become like Yi Shenzi, half dead and half alive."
Ming Yueshu looked at Shi Hao: "Son of God Yi?"
Shi Hao then told Sha Lingshan what they had encountered in Wu Gorge.
Ming Yueshu pondered and said, "So, isn't her use of the power of monsters similar to that of Yi Shenzi?"
Shi Hao nodded, and inexplicably thought of the little demon girl who fell into the Rongyang Demon Abyss. Somehow, he felt a sense of fear.
He said secretly: "I hope they are all dead!"
Whether it was the little devil girl or the girl surnamed Zhao, although he sympathized with them deep down in his heart, it did not mean that he wanted them to survive.
Sha Ling covered her chest with a round fan and looked at Xu Xiaoyan: "Come to think of it, that girl just now... well, maybe it was just an illusion."
Xu Xiaoyan turned her head to look at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Shi Hao looked at Xu Xiaoyan's gentle profile, and his heart moved, but then he quickly dismissed the idea... It should be just an illusion.
Shi Hao, Sha Lingshan and Xu Xiaoyan were strolling around here.
Although the original Tianying Immortal Palace was isolated from the world, many people once lived here. Therefore, there are many areas here, such as places for practicing martial arts, altars for sacrifices, and so on.
But now it is all ruined and desolate. After so many years, it has been affected by the evil air and is now mottled and unbearable.
Mingyueshu went outside to get some rice, water, and some bacon, and then set up a stove in this abandoned village.
Over the years, she spent most of her time guarding the wilderness outside the Sanying Ghost Cave, so she prepared these things outside.
Shi Hao felt that although he was a celebrity on the blacklist, he was a well-known top-notch master.
But if she had not been born into such a situation where her family was destroyed, perhaps Yue'er would be more suitable to be a girl next door living in such a paradise, grow up normally, and become a good wife and mother.
Looking at the slender and petite Yue'er squatting in front of the stove, making a fire and cooking, wearing the most common autumn-scented skirt.
It is even hard to imagine that she is one of the few masters on the blacklist.
After eating something, Ming Yueshu stood on a twisted stone peak, with Shi Hao standing beside her.
There were some special arrangements here that could bring in light from the outside sky, but it was already late at night outside and the moonlight was dim. Only the few bonfires they had lit were burning and radiating light around.
Ming Yueshu said softly: "For so many years, this place has always been a dangerous place. Since I can remember, even with the protection of the spiritual energy contained in my blood, I can only be cautious and dare not take a wrong step.
"This is the first time in all these years that I can stand here with peace of mind and look at the scenery here. Although it is dilapidated and lonely, it is where my ancestors once lived and where they risked their lives to protect."
Shi Hao asked: "Yue'er, what are you going to do next?"
Ming Yueshu said: "I plan to repair the outer maze first. After it is repaired, it will be possible to prevent outsiders from entering here. This will probably take one or two months. Then... Then I will see!"
Shi Hao said: "But the people of the Wei Ba Army died outside, and Hong Lei Chi may appear at any time."
Ming Yueshu shook his head: "Over the years, the Three-Tassel Ghost Cave has been notorious. Even Hong Leichi doesn't dare to enter casually. Besides, even if he comes in, I'm not afraid of him."
Shi Hao nodded gently.
After staying here for one night, Shi Hao said goodbye to Yue'er the next day, taking the Sha Ling fan and Xu Xiaoyan with him.
Yue'er stood in front of him, raised her head, and whispered, "Are you leaving so soon?"
Shi Hao said: "The situation outside is changing too fast, and I can't stay here for too long."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yue'er, there is a kind of immortal material that we need in the Xuanming Cave in the South China Sea. It is very difficult to find that kind of immortal material in other places. Can I come over and ask you to go with me?"
Yue Er said happily: "You have helped me so much, I don't know how to repay you, it would be great if I could help you."
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Who are we to each other? It's only natural for me to come and help."
Sha Lingshan and Xu Xiaoyan looked at him together... How did the two of you get to the point of “who is following whom”
Xu Xiaoyan suddenly looked at Ming Yueshu and said, "Senior, have you ever heard of the Pengjing Mirage?"
Shi Hao looked at Xu Xiaoyan, but Xu Xiaoyan was staring at Ming Yueshu and not looking at him at all.
Xu Xiaoyan is not a fool. When Xianggu accidentally revealed the "Pengjing Mirage" that time, she knew that this place must be related to her.
But Shi Hao just wouldn't say anything, and Yueyaotai also kept it a secret.
During this time, she also tried to ask other people, but most of them had never even heard of this place.
Xu Xiaoyan appears to be older than Mingyueshu, so he needs to lower his head to look at her.
Ming Yueshu raised his head, showing a little surprise: "Xiaoyan, you suddenly mentioned Pengjing Mirage. Do you think that the girl surnamed Zhao just now is related to Pengjing Mirage?"
Xu Xiaoyan said: "Ah? That woman is also related to the Pengjing Mirage?"
Ming Yueshu lowered his head, crossed his left hand over his chest, and thought: "I'm not sure either. But the cause of the disaster in Tianying Immortal Mansion was that more than two hundred years ago, an external force collided with the sealing formation. The remaining members of the Ye family found in their investigation that this force seemed to be related to the Pengjing Mirage.
"Pengjing Mirage is a mysterious place that specializes in all kinds of sorcery and witchcraft. I heard that their witchcraft requires a form of self-mutilation to activate. The woman just now inserted her hand into her chest to absorb the power of the monster. I don't think she is from the Demon Sect, and she used this method to activate the magic, so I suspect it is related to Pengjing Mirage."
Shi Hao was stunned: "Yue'er, why didn't you mention this before?"
Ming Yueshu shook his head and said, "The Pengjing Mirage is too evil, I don't want you to get too deeply involved with it. But Xiaoyan, you suddenly mentioned the Pengjing Mirage, do you have such a guess?"
When he looked up again, he saw Xu Xiaoyan with a confused look on her face.
Shi Hao said: "No... She didn't have any guesses, she was just asking nonsense questions."
Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but burst out: "It's all your fault. What on earth did you hide from me? Why did Xianggu say that you didn't let her mention that place in front of me?"
She opened her eyes wide: "Could it be..."
Shi Hao pulled her: "Don't let your imagination run wild!" He dragged her out and turned back to say: "Yue'er, we're leaving. If we have time, we'll come to see you."
Ming Yueshu said: "Oh..." confused.
Sha Ling Shan also smiled, said goodbye to Ming Yue Shu Fu Shen, and floated away holding the exquisite small round fan.
Ming Yueshu stood at the entrance of the Sanying Ghost Cave and watched them go away. After a while, she turned around and floated into the dim and silent place, which was her only "home".
—On the way, Xu Xiaoyan was very angry.
Shi Hao let her do what she wanted. Even Yue'er said that the Pengjing Mirage was a very strange place, so he didn't want Xiaoyan to find such a place.
They headed north and crossed the Meiling Ancient Road again...
