Chapter 948: Chapter 948: Doubting You Have No Brains
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Aside from Bai Xiaofan, the other three landed almost simultaneously on the ground, imdiately engaging in a fierce battle with the five corpse puppets.
“Damn it, why are these corpse puppets so hard to deal with? Young master here is wielding a superior-grade Immortal Artifact, and all I can leave on their bodies are faint white marks!”
“Don’t you know? Every corpse puppet has incredibly tough bodies. Especially those at the peak of Nascent Soul cultivation, their physical toughness can match the grade of a superior Immortal Artifact!”
“Then what do we do now? Are we really going to get dragged to death by these corpse puppets without even obtaining the treasures we ca for?”
Feng Hao, Yaoyao, and Xiao Qing resisted the frantic attacks of the corpse puppets while exchanging strategies to deal with them!
As for Bai Xiaofan, this guy had just landed on the ground at this mont.
“Old rascal, the three of us will hold back these five corpse puppets. You go ahead and slay them!”
Yaoyao’s beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced at Bai Xiaofan beside her, speaking coquettishly.
“Are you out of your mind? Sure, Brother Bai’s strength far exceeds his cultivation level, but do you think he can punch his way through a peak Nascent Soul corpse puppet?”
Feng Hao was utterly baffled by Yaoyao’s words.
Though Bai Xiaofan could severely injure a late Nascent Soul expert with a single punch, the opponent before them was at the peak of Nascent Soul, coupled with a physical resilience comparable to a superior Immortal Artifact.
Could Bai Xiaofan truly deliver a punch that would cripple such a corpse puppet?
It wasn’t just Feng Hao who was skeptical; even Xiao Qing had her doubts.
Still, she trusted Yaoyao’s judgnt and refrained from transforming for now.
“You seem to know quite well, don’t you?”
Bai Xiaofan slightly narrowed his eyes, locking his gaze onto Yaoyao as he asked.
“Of course I know you! Now hurry up; we won’t last much longer. Right now, you’re the only one who can shatter the defense of these corpse puppets!”
Yaoyao rolled her eyes at Bai Xiaofan and called out to him exasperatedly.
After living in your house for so long, if I still knew nothing, wouldn’t that be underestimating !
“I hope that once this is over, you’ll tell everything I want to know!”
Bai Xiaofan shot Yaoyao a deep look, then swung his arm, sending a blade beam slicing toward one of the corpse puppets.
Slash!
The Dragon Sparrow Sword connected with one of the corpse puppets’ shoulders, instantly severing an arm!
Feng Hao and Xiao Qing stared at the miraculous scene in sheer disbelief!
What the hell!
A single slash severed the corpse puppet’s arm!
What… what kind of sword is this?
Could its grade be higher than Feng Hao’s longsword?
Mind you, Feng Hao’s longsword is a superior-grade Immortal Artifact, unquestionably the best within the current cultivation world!
“Stop gawking!”
Yaoyao, however, treated the situation like it was entirely expected, shouting at Feng Hao and Xiao Qing.
Seeing Bai Xiaofan’s razor-sharp blade, the two imdiately went all-out to hold the corpse puppets at bay.
Right now, their task was simple: keep these corpse puppets occupied long enough for Bai Xiaofan to slay them. That was it!
With the trio fully engaged, Bai Xiaofan swung his blade relentlessly, and after a dozen slashes, the five mindless corpse puppets were completely annihilated!
Though these creatures boast bodies of unparalleled resilience, their lack of intelligence is their biggest flaw!
Nevertheless, after slaying the five corpse puppets, all four — Yaoyao, Feng Hao, Xiao Qing, and Bai Xiaofan — felt utterly drained!
Whether it was enduring the frantic attacks or executing the slashes, both required a trendous expenditure of spiritual energy!
“What’s next? This was just five corpse puppets, and we’re already this beat!”
Feng Hao gasped deeply for air, looking toward the others for direction.
“We’ll have to just take it step by step. Based on the markings on my map, we should already be at the central area of the Underground Royal Tomb. But judging from the current situation, things don’t quite add up!”
Yaoyao furrowed her delicate brows, using the light from the Luminous Pearl to examine their surroundings as she spoke softly.
“First, you’ll explain your situation to , or I won’t hesitate to turn against you here and now!”
Bai Xiaofan’s hand swung forth, the Dragon Sparrow Sword now resting on Yaoyao’s shoulder. A minor twist of his wrist could slice her throat cleanly!
“What are you trying to do?”
Xiao Qing imdiately stepped forward, locking her gaze onto Bai Xiaofan with intensity.
“Brother Bai, is there so sort of misunderstanding here?”
Feng Hao was perplexed. Just a mont ago, Bai Xiaofan and Yaoyao were on friendly terms—how had things turned into this so suddenly?
“Old rascal, don’t you feel even a bit familiar with that nickna?”
Yaoyao gestured for Xiao Qing to stay calm, then looked at Bai Xiaofan with unperturbed confidence, speaking softly.
Upon hearing Yaoyao’s response, Bai Xiaofan’s brow furrowed slightly.
“What did you do to that girl Keke? Did you beasts capture her? I warn you, if you intend to use her against , I’ll kill you right here and now!”
Bai Xiaofan’s tone sharpened as the edge of the Dragon Sparrow Sword shifted, pressing against Yaoyao’s neck.
Her smooth, tender skin yielded to the blade’s piercing edge, leaving a faint scratch that seeped a trickle of blood.
“Foolish old rascal, I am Keke! Co closer—I’ll explain everything!”
Yaoyao’s face lit up with a cheerful smile upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s concern. She didn’t even care about the small cut on her neck.
Watching Bai Xiaofan and Yaoyao step aside, Feng Hao furrowed his brow and turned toward Xiao Qing.
“What does Brother Bai an by ‘you beasts’?”
Faced with Feng Hao’s question, Xiao Qing hesitated briefly.
“Exactly what you think it ans!”
With that, Xiao Qing fell silent.
Not long after, Bai Xiaofan and Yaoyao returned, seeming closer than ever before.
“Hand over the map!”
Bai Xiaofan said to Yaoyao, taking the map in hand and studying it carefully.
Smack!
Bai Xiaofan raised the map and lightly smacked Yaoyao on the forehead.
“Why’d you hit ?”
Yaoyao rubbed her forehead, asking indignantly.
“I really wonder if you’re brainless. Can’t you tell this is only half a map?”
Bai Xiaofan pointed at a corner of the map, showing Yaoyao and Xiao Qing.
With Bai Xiaofan’s hint, Yaoyao and Xiao Qing finally saw that the map was indeed incomplete; no wonder it didn’t match their earlier assumptions.
“Then why is there still a passage leading underground here?”
Yaoyao stared at the spot where they’d fallen, asking quizzically.
“Probably just blind luck,”
Bai Xiaofan replied, carefully analyzing the directions on the map before putting it away.
