Only when I heard Bai Zanhe, who was behind me, screamed in pain, "Ah... it hurts so much..."
Turning around, I saw something like an iron nail piercing through Bai Zanhe's wrist.
Moreover, it was the kind that pierced through from front to back, with rust merging into the blood, as bright red drops fell slowly onto the water-soaked bamboo raft, spreading gradually...
In the fight between the snipe and the clam, who were the benefiting fishermen? It was neither Bai Zanhe nor I. The most update n0vels are published on novel⁂fire.net
It was clearly the demonically-charged woman who emerged from the water and likely orchestrated the fight between the Taoists and Barbarian Villagers.
"Think you can hold me? Weigh your own abilities first." I quickly condensed heavenly fire in my palm and attacked the eerie woman.
The eerie woman dodged the attack with a hook of her lip and a beautiful smile, then swiftly drove a nail into my forehead as I tried to use my heavenly fire, "Trying to burn me with heavenly fire? I saw it at the marketplace, quite powerful, specially prepared for you, the Evil Corpse Nail."
"My power is sealed, such heavy Corpse Qi!" The heavenly fire in my palm suddenly doused like a water-soaked musket, going silent.
So, this woman had seen me using heavenly fire against crows at the market; she had seemingly prepared well in advance to deal with me, particularly with what she called the Evil Corpse Nail.
With a tongue red as blood, the eerie woman stretched it out like a frog, slick and smooth, licking my face, "The Evil Corpse Nail was originally used on corpses to deter Corpse Qi and prevent them from acting undead. However, it was later pulled out, naturally carrying the embedded Corpse Qi of hundreds or thousands of years. Specifically to seal the Qi Sea of you... exorcists on the righteous path... I'm truly clever..."
"..." I was almost sickened to death by this woman's tongue, helpless as my skull was pierced by the nail.
Every time I tried to think, my entire head throbbed unbearably.
The pain caused veins on my forehead to burst open, tensing every muscle in my body.
More horrifically, this woman was a monster, and Gu Insects had no effect on her; otherwise, I could have summoned Xiao Honghong to deal with her.
The woman's icy hand, cold as a frozen pig's trotter, touched the spot pierced by the Evil Corpse Nail then her crimson lips approached my neck, her entire body exuding a chilling Demon Qi pressing against me,
"Never thought you'd be a Spirit Eye Girl. I'll devour you first, then your unborn child, and upon entering Barbarian Village, even ginseng. This way, this old lady... might just ascend to the heavens..."
"Yu Longting... where are you? I miss you so much..." I couldn't move at all, and all I yearned for was Yu Longting.
The one I couldn't bear leaving was the Dumpling in my belly, whose fingers I repeatedly, tremulously caressed.
Dumpling, Mommy will perish together with this monster.
When Daddy finds you, he will surely find a way to nurture you and help you grow.
I knew that even if the mother's body declined, with Yu Longting's strength, Dumpling would be fine.
If I didn't resist, both Dumpling and I would lose our lives.
"Mommy, no, don't~ If you die, Dumpling will die with you." Dumpling, sensing my resoluteness, cried out in sorrow.
Hearing Dumpling's cries, my heart remained as firm as a rock; I resolutely ignited the three Life Lamps in my body simultaneously.
A blazingly white heavenly fire surged from my palm, its heat far more ferocious than when it was purple.
It was the Fire of Life that had ignited.
I took advantage of the woman being close to me and pressed my palm against her abdomen.
What should have been a momentary act, however, was thwarted as my wrist was suddenly grasped by someone's strong hand.
That hand was so powerful that it could extinguish all the flames in my palm and repel the Spiritual Power surging toward it through my meridians.
Was this eerie woman so abnormally strong?
"Why!!" Fate has tricked us!
In despair, I roared, forcing the Life Lamp to burn at its fullest, determined to resist to the end.
But in the next second, my body was pulled into a familiar and expansive embrace, with a man tightly holding my slight back, a voice as cold as the abyss of Hell sternly uttering, "Take it back! Su Wan, dare to die and try, and I will chase you down to the Yellow Springs in the blue sea and will never let you go."
