woman in white

Kou Feng forcefully threw the bucket in his hand, splashing dirty water all over the two of them, making them stink terribly.

Wu Fei was stunned by the stench. After a long while, Kou Feng said to Wu Fei, "This is none of your business. You should go back!"

He picked up the bucket again and slowly changed the dirty water in the pool. The water smelled so bad it stung his eyes, but he didn't react at all.

The scenes from Koujia Town kept replaying in my mind. Huang Shan's departure, from the initial confusion and helplessness to the daily regret and self-blame, were magnified without limit.

He originally thought he could get over it quickly, that he could start over, and that he could live on in her place.

But now, all he wants is to end this nightmare as soon as possible. He feels that every day he lives is incredibly agonizing, and he feels like he is about to suffocate.

"Kou Feng!" Wu Fei was so angry he jumped up and down.

Suddenly, his hand, which was scooping water, felt a sharp pain, as if something had bitten the back of his hand.

He raised his hand and grabbed the water centipede that was trying to escape, and frowned.

"The commander-in-chief has never needed my protection, but if he is in danger, I will rush to his aid without hesitation." He paused as he spoke.

A disdainful snort came from Hu Feng in his mind.

"absurd!"

"I want to say... I... actually, Huang Shan understands how you feel, which is why she—"

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Feng in his mind suddenly shouted nervously, "Something's coming!"

During this period, Yanshi Ridge was very peaceful, and even the rat-head flowers did not spread towards Yang Palace. But for some reason, a chilling demonic aura suddenly appeared outside Wenzhangmao today.

She's not a witch!

Hu Feng reacted immediately. Wen Zhangmao had left behind very few people, most of whom were not capable of fighting. She was the strongest fighter left behind.

"Holy crap! Commander, don't do anything reckless!" Wu Fei turned and ran out, saying as he ran, "Kou Feng, if you want to die, no one can stop you, but are you willing to die at the hands of the demonic Gu that killed Huang Shan?"

The water centipede struggled incessantly in Kou Feng's hands, blood dripping onto its head, causing it to suddenly straighten its body.

Just as Kou Feng was lost in thought, a demonic force suddenly rushed from his wrist to the top of his head, leaving a deep mark before he could react.

Forming a spiritual pact?!

Kou Feng suddenly came to his senses, and the feeling of being connected with another being arose spontaneously, as if Huang Shan had returned to his life.

In his panic, he heard the voice of a timid little girl.

"I...I succeeded?"

Even if these little demons develop intelligence, they are still very weak. If they are not careful, they will become nourishment for other big demons. Therefore, most of the little demons here come here for the shortcut.

It is not shameful to rely on demon masters for cultivation. As long as they can become stronger and stronger, they will eventually be able to break free from their shackles and regain their freedom.

"you--"

Kou Feng was momentarily transported back to the first time he met Huang Shanshi, and he was at a loss for what to do.

Outside Wen Zhangmao, the demonic wind was as fast as lightning, with Qun Sang and Xiu Shen leading the way.

Just as the two were about to meet, a light flashed in their eyes. Qi Sang dodged away, while Xiu Shen smirked coldly, "Overestimating yourself!"

With a fierce strike, he cleaved down from mid-air.

The astonishing force caused Hu Feng to feel a suffocating sensation in his chest. He instinctively made a counterattack with the long dagger in his hand, but an even colder demonic aura attacked from behind.

Wu Fei saw that Hu Feng was being attacked from both sides by two demons and was on the verge of death. Without thinking, he gathered all his spiritual power.

"Royal——"

His eyes were only on Hu Feng.

"Freeze time!"

At the critical moment, a layer of silver light suddenly appeared beneath Hu Feng's feet, causing the movements of Hu Sang and Xiu Shen to come to an abrupt halt.

Wu Fei felt as if he had been struck hard in the chest, the pain almost making him faint.

Having caught his breath, Hu Feng's demonic aura surged, and the cold glint in his eyes intensified.

The long spikes drew a circle of black light in the air.

"Royal——"

Wu Fei, understanding her intent, immediately cooperated, and with a flash of light in his hand, he rose from the ground.

"A thousand troops!"

Countless poisonous thorns rose from the ground, and Hun Sang and Xiu Shen were a step too slow, both of them being poisoned and injured.

However, Hu Feng's poison was not highly toxic, but rather had a certain paralyzing effect.

After this move, Hu Feng nimbly grabbed Wu Fei and ran away.

"Useless trash, what are you doing here causing trouble?" Hu Feng forcibly suppressed the blood rising in his throat and stubbornly cursed.

Wu Fei bore the brunt of the backlash from the two powerful demons. Hearing Hu Feng's insults, he dared not utter a sound. A metallic sweetness filled his throat, and his mouth was thick with the taste of blood, forcing him to let out a bitter laugh. He could only reply in his mind:

"I don't want to end up like Kou Feng, with only regret for the rest of my life."

Hu Feng paused, momentarily unable to think of a word to curse him.

"Whenever you want to be free, I can let you leave anytime, but you're not allowed to die, understand? If you can't beat someone, you can't beat someone, there's nothing shameful about it."

Wu Fei started rambling again, but this sentence angered Hu Feng, whose face darkened.

"Useless, a burden!"

Wu Fei was surprised to be scolded like that by his own demon servant, and he actually laughed.

But before the two could even breathe a sigh of relief, Hu Feng's expression hardened again. "More auras, they're up to no good."

She spoke more about how Yue Shan and the members of the Bow-Clad Clan, who were controlled by the puppet Gu, were frantically attacking this side.

On Yanshi Ridge, the old woman watched as the overwhelming demon corpses stormed into the Yang Palace, advancing with unstoppable force, and couldn't help but mutter to herself in bewilderment.

"What is the reason for the Gu King's order? What else is there to take from this Yang Palace?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the white-clad woman beside her, with her eyes closed and wearing a veil, took a step forward and vanished without a trace.

The old woman's expression changed. Although they were both Gu children, she could clearly sense that this woman was the strongest among them, far surpassing the Gu woman.

What was this woman's background in life? Why was she able to directly accept the Gu King's will and obtain such powerful strength from him?

These demonic corpses conquered Yang Palace with an overwhelming victory, frightening all the water demons, such as Buzai, in the Wilderness Lake into hiding at the bottom of the lake, too afraid to show their faces.

Fortunately, the demonic insects were not targeting them, but were heading straight for the Half-Mountain Residence.

What does Half-Mountain Residence offer?

Back then, Liao Wanchuan's things were all burned, and the related books were moved to dangerous peaks. What could they not know?

Hu Feng grabbed Wu Fei and fled towards Banshanju, where a small path led directly to the treacherous peaks.

"Hey! We're just going to run away like this, what about my brother?" Wu Fei suddenly remembered Kou Feng, who was still in Wenzhangmao.

Unbeknownst to him, right after he left, Kou Feng had already forcibly dragged Yi Xin away from Wenzhangmao.

Hu Feng sneered, his speed undiminished.

"You're too busy taking care of yourselves to have time to worry about others?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her demonic instincts made her stop in her tracks and take a sharp step back.

At the same time, with a loud bang, a shallow crater exploded where she had just landed, and the surrounding vegetation withered instantly.

"What?"

Wu Fei's eyes widened.

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, Hu Feng actually hoisted him onto his shoulder.

"Something fierce has come! We might both be finished."

Wu Fei tried to struggle, but Hu Feng immediately jumped to a higher place and dodged the attack once again.

After this, she finally saw clearly what was blocking her way.

Five steps away from them stood a woman in white holding a sword. She wore a veil and had her eyes closed. She exuded no demonic aura, yet Hu Feng felt a chill run down his spine. A desperate sense of crisis made his heart tremble.

What exactly is this thing?

Hu Feng's vision blurred, and suddenly a dazzling light appeared beneath his feet.

"Royal——"

Wu Fei forced down the blood that rose to his throat, shouting as his mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood.

"Only one child!"

He swore he had never worked so hard in his entire life, and suddenly began to regret how he had wasted his time and not learned more useful demon-controlling techniques.

Even just a little boost to spiritual power would be helpful!

However, his brief regret did not help.

Taking advantage of the moment, Hu Feng's figure became ethereal, and the opponent's sword missed its mark. The chilling killing intent pierced through the shifted space and struck her chest hard.

Hu Feng stopped half a zhang away, paused, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was too fast; she couldn't dodge it at all. What on earth was that thing?

As she pondered, Hu Feng's eyes lit up, and the sword light suddenly magnified infinitely deep within her pupils.

No, that's too fast!

You'll die!

The thought exploded in her mind, and the woman in white was like a flash of cold light.

Ding, zheng!

Sifang wielded a long sword that pierced through the air and blocked Hu Feng in time.

Hu Feng felt the tightness in his chest suddenly ease, and cold sweat had soaked his entire body.

The woman in white stepped back, and Shu Zhuo and Ye Honglanzhi rushed in at the same time.

"I didn't expect the Yang Palace to have a demon master." Ye Honglanzhi glanced behind her. "You guys go first."

"Wait a minute!" Shu Zhuo suddenly spoke up, "Is Elder Lian Yao here? What's that He Wenwen's name?"

Hu Feng paused, and Wu Fei replied with difficulty, "No, they are all on the dangerous peaks."

Shu Zhuo looked as if he had known all along.

The woman in white swayed, and Shu Zhuo's vision blurred as a chill instantly spread from his heels to the top of his head.

Ding, ding!

Hu Feng only saw a white shadow as fast as lightning. With a clang, Si Fang Duo was sent flying. Her gaze involuntarily fell on the flying Si Fang Duo. When she came to her senses, she heard a hurried shout in her ear.

"Get out of there quickly!"

The woman in white was right in front of him in the blink of an eye. The next second, Hu Feng retreated rapidly, throwing out a handful of poisoned needles with his backhand. The needles were all swept away with a clang.

Ye Honglanzhi chased after him with her sword. The woman in white paused, and Hu Feng suddenly felt light as Le Qing, who had rushed over, grabbed him and threw him backward.

The comb-like hook gathered all its demonic power and swept it recklessly towards the woman in white.

"Stop!" Shu Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes.

The woman in white sent Ye Honglanzhi flying with a single sword strike, then swung her sword again with a backhand. The seemingly powerless strike pierced through Le Qing's full-force attack, breaking off her comb-like hook and stabbing into her shoulder from her palm.

Le Qing's demonic power inexplicably backfired, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

In that instant of pause, the Four Directions suddenly burst through the air. The woman in white drew her sword and swung it out with a clang.

The domineering demonic energy gathered on the sword in all directions was instantly disintegrated, and the sword lightly brushed past the white-clad woman's sword like a gust of wind.

The four demons present were all startled.

The woman in white fought four opponents single-handedly and completely dominated them, catching them completely off guard.

What exactly is she?

If both the Gu Master and Gu Woman can kill it with their formidable strength, then the woman in white before them completely suppresses the demonic energy, and the demon has no power to resist in front of her.

The woman in white took another step forward, sword in hand.

"Take her away!" Shu Zhuo coughed up blood, gritted his teeth, and prepared to fight to the death.

Le Qing let out a bitter laugh, "You...cough cough...you think, you think I can let it go like this? No, I will never forgive you, never!"
