At the critical moment, Lu Fuyue decisively and quickly retracted her clone inside the room. The next second, the door slammed open, and a red figure appeared, causing the surrounding air to freeze instantly.
The old woman glanced at her sideways and sneered, "Little girl, long time no see."
"Last time you destroyed my clone, causing me to suffer a great loss of cultivation. Today, it's time to settle this score!"
Lu Fuyue's heart tightened. Oh no, it's the Ghost Granny!
Her eyes darkened slightly as she circulated her internal energy to dissipate the oppressive aura emanating from her body. At the same time, she looked up at the newcomer, trying to buy time. "This is the palace of Ghost King Jiang Xun. Aren't you afraid of offending him by doing this?"
The old woman's expression remained unchanged. She looked Lu Fuyue up and down, then glanced at the room, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes. "Heh, instead of worrying about whether I'll be punished by the Ghost King, you should think about how you're going to get out of here today."
"Besides, you don't actually think the King would lay a hand on me for the sake of a mere human cultivator like you, do you?"
When she arrived, she froze all the maids and guards who were standing around, so no one could detect what was happening here.
As long as she kills Lu Fuyue here today, even if things are exposed, she doesn't believe Jiang Xun would touch her for a dead person!
After all, she is the mistress of the River of Oblivion!
The River of Oblivion controls whether the souls of mortals after death can enter the underworld and be reincarnated. Without the River of Oblivion, the underworld would surely descend into chaos.
However, the River of Oblivion is the territory of the Twin Shores, and no matter how high their cultivation level is, other ghost cultivators simply cannot control the River of Oblivion. This is one of the reasons why Granny Ghost's status is second only to those few.
Under normal circumstances, even Jiang Xun, the leader of the Five Great Ghost Kings, would not easily provoke the Messenger of the River of Oblivion.
"Yeah?"
"What if he really does?"
Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes and uttered these words with an ambiguous meaning.
The old woman's cultivation level is at least at the Tribulation Transcending stage, while she is only at the Nascent Soul stage. There is a whole major realm between these two realms. No matter how strong she is in fighting beyond her level, she probably wouldn't last a single move against her.
The old woman seemed to have heard something ridiculous, raised her hand to cover her nose and burst into laughter, "Do you know what the king's status is?"
"You think you're worthy?"
Lu Fuyue looked up at her and suddenly smiled faintly, "Whether we're a good match or not, we'll know once we try."
The old woman's aura suddenly darkened, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes. Just as the ghostly energy within her was churning and about to erupt,
But then Lu Fuyue's tone changed, as if she had thought of something, and she slowly said, "Also, after last time, you must have learned my true identity. Aren't you afraid that your sister won't be able to withstand my divine body?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman could no longer contain herself; this human cultivator was far too presumptuous!
Her dark eyes were fixed on Lu Fuyue's chest. Suddenly, she raised her hand, her five fingers forming a claw, and grabbed at the air in Lu Fuyue's direction, her anger blazing: "You bitch, you're asking for death!"
The next second, Lu Fuyue's body was uncontrollably thrown towards her, and her neck was quickly gripped by a sharp, large hand, tightly choked, and her face turned red from difficulty breathing.
Finally, the fish took the bait.
The old woman looked at her, who was almost lifeless, and laughed loudly, her eyes filled with malice. "So what if you have a divine body? As long as I dig out your heart, drain your divine blood, and then refine your divine soul, even the true form of the phoenix will lose its divinity, and that fool will naturally be resurrected in your body."
However, just when Granny Ghost thought the matter was about to end, unnoticed by anyone, Lu Fuyue's closed eyelashes trembled slightly, her internal energy cultivation rapidly circulated, and a wisp of golden-red bloodline power slowly traveled through the meridians of her entire body.
Suddenly, countless golden-red flames rose out of thin air from beneath the old woman's feet, bursting forth and fiercely burning her body. The excruciating pain of being burned alive spread throughout her body, and the smell of her charred skin filled the air.
Her expression suddenly changed drastically, with fear and terror alternating on her face. She jumped up, trying to avoid the golden-red flames on the ground, but the more she tried to avoid the fire, the bigger it became.
"Ahhhh—"
The old woman was in dire straits herself, and subconsciously loosened her grip on Lu Fuyue's hand.
Without support, Lu Fuyue collapsed to the ground. The sharp pain from her back hitting the ground pulled her consciousness back into her body.
A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes and struggled to get up from the ground to watch this scene.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Lu Fuyue's eyes suddenly darkened. Standing not far away, she reached out and pulled off the token from her waist. She formed a hand seal and cast a spell into the token, then flung it into the air above the Ghost Granny who was burning in the flames.
In no time, the token emitted a black light, transforming into a circular barrier that trapped Granny Ghost within the Phoenix Red Lotus Divine Fire, preventing her from escaping.
The old woman noticed Lu Fuyue's movements and instantly understood what was happening. While struggling to resist the raging flames that seemed to pounce on her like vicious dogs, she glared fiercely at Lu Fuyue, gritting her teeth: "You bitch, you dare to scheme against me!"
After Lu Fuyue finished doing all this, he stopped. He looked up at the woman whose skin was burned and bloodied, and smiled faintly, "But the opportunity to scheme against you was handed to me by you yourself."
Underestimating one's enemy is always a major taboo for cultivators!
After saying that, Lu Fuyue turned around and quickly activated her footwork to its maximum, leaving this place without daring to delay for even a moment.
She knew in her heart that with her current strength, even with the help of the Phoenix Red Lotus Divine Fire and Jiang Xun's Daoist token, she could only temporarily trap Granny Ghost for a while.
Just as Lu Fuyue had escaped, a series of shrill curses came from beside her, "You bitch, you actually set me up! You just wait, I'll skin you alive and shatter your soul!"
In an instant, terrifying demonic power poured out from the entire room, spreading throughout the courtyard. The Phoenix Red Lotus Divine Fire that was tightly attached to the old woman finally dissipated into the air, and the barrier shattered with a loud crash.
Thanks to Lu Fuyue's scheme, Granny Ghost didn't die, but she was seriously injured. If Lu Fuyue's cultivation had been any stronger, she probably would have died here.
The old woman was filled with hatred as she thought of this. Her eyes were fixed on the direction Lu Fuyue had fled in, and her fingers clenched into fists. "You bitch!"
It seems we'll have to use that thing...
