"Hehehe..."
An old, chilling laugh reached Cao Kun's ears, and then a hunched black figure appeared not far away.
The figure was dressed in tattered clothes, without a hat, and had a head of messy, gray hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in ages, resembling a wild man.
She circled around Cao Kun from a distance before approaching him.
"Hehehe... No matter how powerful you are, you've still fallen under my dark magic."
Her voice was incredibly unpleasant, like two rusty iron pieces rubbing together, making it extremely unpleasant to listen to.
"Do you think my remnant soul is so easy to collect?"
"Is my stuff really that difficult to obtain?"
"If you took my things, you'll pay with your life."
"Your body is in great shape, so I can conduct more experiments."
"Hehehe... My witchcraft can improve again."
She seemed to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, and she talked at length to Cao Kun, appearing quite proud and excited.
"Sigh, you're not wearing a wizard's hat either. You're completely different from what I imagined. You're just a dead old woman."
Suddenly, a strong, resonant voice responded to her.
Cao Kun, who was on the verge of death, miraculously sat up, wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the old woman in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.
His complexion had returned to normal at some point, and there was no trace of him being on the verge of death.
The old woman's smug expression froze on her face, replaced by disbelief. She pointed at Cao Kun and said, "Impossible...impossible! You were under my black magic, how could you be unharmed?"
"You mean the poison you put on those things? I sensed it as soon as I got close, and that's when I knew it was a trap..."
Cao Kun stood up, his eyes becoming extremely sharp: "If I hadn't pretended to be affected, how could you, a cowardly old woman who specializes in attacking children, have possibly shown yourself?"
"You dare lie to me? You'd better die!"
The old woman was furious, acting as if she had gone mad. She stuck her index and middle fingers into her mouth and bit them off.
Snap snap snap...
The sound of knuckles being chewed was quite crisp and rather eerie.
Instantly, the old woman's mouth was filled with blood.
"puff……"
She spat the chewed-up flesh and blood onto the ground.
A miraculous thing happened: the shattered flesh and blood, as soon as it fell to the ground, seemed to be absorbed by the earth and disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, a rustling sound came from all around, as if something was crawling on the ground.
Cao Kun turned his head and his eyes narrowed immediately.
Countless brightly colored snakes, scorpions, toads, centipedes, and all sorts of venomous insects that Cao Kun didn't recognize suddenly appeared and were rapidly crawling towards them.
When Cao Kun turned around again, he saw that the old woman was no longer there.
"Where are you running to?"
Cao Kun stomped his foot, and several eerie green lights lit up around him.
"ah!"
With a scream, the old woman reappeared.
A talisman was now attached to her.
It turned out that Cao Kun had already set up traps around the area before leaving, to prevent the old woman from escaping.
The old woman, blood dripping from her mouth, glared at Cao Kun with venomous hatred: "You will die today."
"That's not up to you."
Cao Kun raised his hand, and several Yin Talismans flew out and burrowed into the ground.
Cao Kun stomped his foot, made a hand seal, and shouted: "Heaven has Heavenly Fiends, Earth has Earthly Fiends, and Man has Human Fiends. The Yin Talisman enters the earth, gathering evil into fiends, and Earthly Fiends arise..."
Boom boom boom...
Unseen streams of earthly evil energy were drawn out by Cao Kun, bursting forth from the ground and attacking various poisonous creatures on the ground.
Puff puff puff...
Amidst a series of muffled thuds, the poisonous creatures flew into the air.
They'll either explode into a bloody mess or their bodies will be torn into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, all the poisonous creatures that had covered the mountains and fields were turned into dead things.
"You're lucky, but don't be too happy yet."
After a slight pause, the old woman produced a bone flute in her hand.
Cao Kun recognized it at a glance; it was made of human bones.
The old woman put it in her mouth and blew on it, and immediately the mountain fog rose again.
No, that's not fog.
Cao Kun took a closer look.
What one could see was a gathering of countless figures, their shadows swirling like a mist.
Most of these figures were short and clearly children.
Only a small portion are adults.
Like the previous figures, they were not normal ghosts, but remnants of ghosts.
"Hehehe... Do you think I've only killed a few people over the years? They were all my children."
Children, kill him.
The large groups of people surrounded Cao Kun and quickly closed in.
Cao Kun's expression was grave; this Blair was too ruthless.
How many people were killed? At least thousands.
If it were an undead being killing so many people, its power would be incredibly profound.
Unfortunately, Blair was a witch.
Witches are human too; killing people won't increase their cultivation level.
Just like Cao Kun, he killed so many people, but only to enhance his strength in other areas.
His cultivation level did not come from killing.
As the figures drew ever closer, Cao Kun's space to maneuver became increasingly cramped, and the sinister smile on the old woman Blair's face grew ever more pronounced.
"You're going to die today anyway, and nobody can save you, hahaha..."
"Yeah?"
With a flick of his wrist, the Myriad Soul Banner reappeared in Cao Kun's hand.
The old woman's eyes narrowed: "Your magic weapon is powerful, but you can't possibly take in so many of my children. You're going to die today."
“Ignorant and wicked woman, you’re like a frog in a well, I’ll show you today.”
Cao Kun waved the Myriad Souls Banner: "By order of the banner, all souls shall come swiftly. Only with my protection can they attain divine power. By decree."
The familiar powerful suction force reappeared, and the remnant souls quickly hurled towards the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is like a bottomless pit, which can never be filled no matter how many evil spirits there are.
In the blink of an eye, the thousands of remnant souls that had condensed into a misty fog were all absorbed by the Myriad Souls Banner.
The mountain has returned to normal.
"No...it's impossible...this can't be..."
The old woman's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, her face filled with disbelief.
She never imagined that her greatest asset would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
And this only took a few seconds.
This completely overturned her understanding.
"ah……"
The old woman roared in pain and rage, "I'll fight you to the death..."
Suddenly, a large amount of dark red blood flowed from her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Her already aged face became even older in an instant, and her entire face was scrunched up.
Her body trembled incessantly, as if she were using some kind of powerful witchcraft.
Cao Kun suddenly felt an extremely terrifying aura rising from Blair.
Cao Kun knew that this must be a very powerful form of witchcraft.
Once the other party uses their methods, he may not be able to get away with it peacefully today.
