"What do you an by ’eyes light up at the sight of money’?"
An Xiaoya was sowhat dissatisfied. Who could refrain from exclaiming in admiration upon seeing such an ancient antique sword?
Besides, she and the young Taoist nun were rely expressing their amazent, nothing more.
Why was the diviner being so eerie and sarcastic?
However, the diviner didn’t pay her any attention, instead, she looked at Shi Yaoguang who held the sword, her gaze filled with inquiry.
Shi Yaoguang, however, had no ti to mind them; the thing before her was extrely troubleso.
She held the sword horizontally in front of her, instinctively positioning her body in front of Quan Jinbei as if preparing to defend against the undead creature before them.
This undead creature was imbued with a strong aura of bloodlust and resentnt, and it was not weak by any ans.
According to her estimate, it was indeed possible for it to break through their protection shield.
To prevent the protection shield from being broken, Shi Yaoguang had to deal with it before that could happen.
Seeing Shi Yaoguang preparing to confront the undead creature, a hint of worry flashed in Quan Jinbei’s eyes.
"Can you do it?"
Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow at him, "If you’re a man, you don’t ask whether you can or cannot."
Quan Jinbei, feeling helpless, said, "What are you joking at a ti like this?"
"It’s precisely because I’m in the mood to joke that proves things haven’t reached their worst state," she replied.
After speaking, Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes and charged toward the undead creature with her sword.
The undead creature hadn’t moved from its spot, but the blood in the Blood Pond began bubbling as if beckoned by sothing, going bubble, bubble.
As the bubbles in the Blood Pond boiled more fiercely, the air around them seed to heat up gradually as well.
The sll of blood explosively spread in an instant.
In the air, a mist of blood seed to form, gradually replacing everyone’s visibility with a red fog, obscuring the view outside.
Only the clear sound of the precious sword clashing and the whistling of the blade cutting through the air could be heard beside their ears.
...
In the cave, apart from Shi Yaoguang, everyone else was within the range of the protection shield.
They were well protected.
Except for not being able to see what was happening outside the protection shield, there was no discomfort.
But it was precisely this inability to see that was enough to make people’s hearts anxious while waiting.
Quan Jinbei waited only a mont before he could not hold back any longer and broke out of the protection shield, stepping outside.
Seeing him do this, An Xiaoya and the others couldn’t help but worry: "Madam, don’t go out, it’s dangerous!"
Quan Jinbei, however, ignored them,.
The flas in his palm condensed and roared toward the direction of the undead creature.
With a ’hiss,’ within the red fog, an orange-gold fla ignited, as if it had been set on so object.
Then everyone could see the image of the flas rolling and dodging.
After an unknown period of ti, the flas disappeared.
The blood mist hadn’t cleared, but no sounds from outside could be heard.
Neither fighting noises nor any other sounds persisted; all had vanished without a trace.
For a mont, the site was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
An Xiaoya waited a while, holding her breath and concentrating, but still, she couldn’t hear the slightest sound.
She beca anxious and called out Shi Yaoguang’s na.
But after her voice lingered for a long while, there was still no response.
She then called out Quan Jinbei’s na, again with no echo in return.
Unable to contain her panic, she huddled with the young Taoist nun and the caraman, shifting their steps to try to see the situation outside.
The diviner’s eerie and sarcastic voice sounded once more.
"Stop looking. That thing clearly isn’t simple; for all we know, they may have perished together already," she said.
Hearing her voice as if she were taking pleasure in their misfortune, An Xiaoya’s expression twisted for a mont.
Unable to control her emotions, she glared at the diviner and shouted, "Can’t you be less heartless?"
"The Master and Madam saved us, and this is your attitude?"
"Aren’t you ashad of your attitude, regardless of whether they’re all right or not?"
The Diviner shrugged with an indifferent attitude, "I didn’t beg her to save ."
"Besides, if she hadn’t taken my Tarot Cards, I could have defended myself against the zombies."
Hearing her bla-shifting words, even the typically calm An Xiaoya couldn’t contain herself.
"You’re utterly disgusting!"
Upon hearing this, the Diviner’s expression grew colder, and then, she suddenly started laughing.
Her tone carried a hint of malice, "Since you say I’m not a good person, then I might as well act accordingly."
With that, she took steps toward her, her eyes filled with a greedy glint.
"You still have my Tarot Cards, don’t you? Since that woman is gone, give them back to ."
As she spoke, she made a motion as though she wanted to snatch them away.
Helpless, she was still inside the Protection Shield.
The Protection Shield, while guarding her, also restricted her actions.
To attack An Xiaoya, she had to break the Protection Shield enveloping her.
Realizing this, her expression twisted montarily.
An Xiaoya naturally noticed that the Blood Pond’s mist was gradually dissipating.
Therefore, she could clearly see the Diviner’s vile face.
Seeing her like this, only one thought crossed An Xiaoya’s mind.
Regret.
If only she had known what kind of person the Diviner was, she would definitely turn back ti and choose never to have t such a person!
The Diviner was obviously unaware of her thoughts.
Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.
She had only one objective...
Now, it seed she had achieved it.
With that being the case, there was no need for her to continue tussling with An Xiaoya.
At the mont, all she wanted was to break free from the Protection Shield.
An Xiaoya watched coldly as she tried to open the Protection Shield using various tools.
At the sa ti, she was also very anxious, not knowing Shi Yaoguang’s current situation.
If possible, she would really like to know how Shi Yaoguang was doing.
But right now, looking around, she simply couldn’t see Shi Yaoguang anywhere.
This ant one of two possibilities.
Either Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei had already left this place.
Or they had truly perished with the zombies using so thod.
The scene was grueso; the Blood Pond had completely exploded.
Now the ground was covered with flowing scarlet blood.
It appeared eerie and terrifying.
And because the ground was already covered with piles of white bones, which now were stained with blood, the sight beca even more horrifying.
Just looking at it was enough to make one shiver.
This kind of ground, with its fragnts and broken things scattered, resembling pieces of exploded human bodies.
The more An Xiaoya looked, the more fear she felt in the pit of her stomach.
At the sa ti, she couldn’t help but beco tense.
"Master..."
The young nun took her hand, speaking softly to comfort her, "Xiaoya, don’t worry just yet, Master Shi is so powerful, she must be fine!"
An Xiaoya choked up, "But the master isn’t here."
The young nun thought for a mont, then said, "Maybe she had to go sowhere else for so reason?"
On hearing this, An Xiaoya carefully examined the remnants on the ground, confirming she didn’t see anything related to Shi Yaoguang, and only then did she ease her mind, praying in her heart that her master, favored by fortune, would certainly be safe.
