"die!"
A chilling voice came from Shen Qian's mouth. He took more than ten steps, and the long sword in his hand drew a beautiful yet cold arc, slashing towards the red-clothed woman who was still floating above the stone coffin.
Just before the blade was about to strike, the woman in red suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes!
Those were incredibly beautiful eyes, but unfortunately, after being filled with confusion, brutality, and resentment, what should have been a captivating gaze became distorted.
Her hair flew wildly, easily catching the long sword that was slashing down from the front.
But her body remained frozen.
A crack appeared on her forehead and spread downwards.
Her delicate face shattered like porcelain, and with a silent yet piercing scream, her body disintegrated, turning into specks of green light and disappearing without a trace.
This...that's it?
Yuan You's eyes widened.
Is this really an existence that is infinitely close to mountains and seas?
Yuan You looked at the Heart-Questioning Pen in her hand with suspicion. The Heart-Questioning Pen trembled, as if it was dissatisfied with Yuan You's questioning.
"The 'Shadow Blade' at the Flawless Realm is even more terrifying than I imagined."
Before sinking down, I couldn't help but sigh as the system shared consciousness with me.
He then realized that he had underestimated the maximum combat power that "he" could unleash.
With the system's intervention and the addition of martial arts skills whose star ratings are difficult to determine, the user already feels somewhat invincible beneath the mountains and seas.
The woman in red is gone, which means the mission of "Tears of the Imprisoned Woman" is impossible to complete.
However, it's not too bad, since you get a bunch of cat's eye spirit stones, and even if you don't complete the task, you can still take one-third of the reward as long as you've been to the Goddess's Tomb.
Most importantly, this trip gave Shen Qian a new understanding of restricted areas and "gates".
Read ten thousand books and travel a thousand miles.
Seeing that the danger had passed, Yuan You ran to the stone coffin, peeked inside, and then turned away in disappointment, saying, "There's nothing there."
Chen Qian chuckled. "If it were available, would you even need to look for it?"
The system had already looted everything.
Just as he was about to tell Yuan You to leave, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his mind. The next moment, the system restarted the "auto-play" mode and directly took over Shen Qian's body.
Extreme cold enveloped Yuan You's body. Just as she was falling into an abyss, a figure picked her up and carried her away from beside the stone coffin.
Whoosh!
Her other hand, long and slender but completely bloodless, grasped at nothing.
Yuan You, who had been taken away before the sinking, stared in disbelief at the woman in red who floated back out of the coffin. "She's alive again?"
Even Shen Qian couldn't explain what was happening before him.
Because just as the woman in red appeared, the surrounding spider lilies went from blooming to withering and then blooming again, as if they had experienced life and death all over again in a very short period of time.
Fortunately, those mummified corpses that had been shaved into human stumps did not "come back to life".
Shen Qian pushed Yuan You aside, picked up his long sword, and walked forward again.
A chilling blade flashed through the air, just like the scene before. The long sword was easily caught in the red-clad woman's hair, but the invisible blade energy still penetrated her body, cleaving her in two once again, turning her into nothingness.
Everything calmed down again, and the red spider lilies that had been blooming all around withered once more.
However, neither of them let their guard down, after all, what had just happened was truly bizarre.
Sure enough, soon the red spider lily bloomed for the third time, and the woman in red floated out of the stone coffin once again, completely unharmed.
"Can't be killed?"
Shen Qian frowned and swung his sword again.
The fourth time, the fifth time...
After killing the woman in red for the 10th or so time, Shen Qian watched as she floated out again and finally stopped.
"Her strength has not diminished in the slightest; she is like a newborn every time."
Chen Qian concluded.
"In addition, there is another strange place."
"What?"
Yuan You was completely confused.
"Look at your watch, what time is it?"
"Huh?" Yuan You was taken aback, but still glanced at it as instructed. "It's 5:41 PM now."
"Remember this time."
After finishing his sentence, Chen Qian swung his long sword out once more.
The woman in red was killed once again, and the spider lilies withered away.
When the spider lilies lit up again, Shen Qian said, "Let's look at it again now."
Yuan You lowered her head, "No problem, it's still 5:41 PM... Ah!"
Yuan You suddenly realized something was wrong. Although the time it took for the woman in red to come back to life was not long, at least two or three minutes had passed. How could the time not have changed?
"Reincarnation?" Yuan You murmured, "Once the woman in red dies, this spacetime will undergo a cycle of reincarnation, this..."
"So that's what 'prisoner' means."
Having regained control, Chen Qian stopped and stood with his sword at the ready, sighing.
Although the system was running idle the whole time, he witnessed the entire process.
"Forever imprisoned in this dark and sunless Goddess's Lament, trapped in this coffin, unable to live or die, and even if they die, they will come back to life..."
Yuan You muttered to herself, feeling a chill run down her spine.
Immortality should be a blessing, but in this situation, it is a cruel torture!
"And she doesn't seem to realize this problem herself. The way she looks at me never changes, which means she may have forgotten the fact that she was killed. That's the real torture, repeating everything over and over again..."
Shen Qian stared at the red-clad woman opposite him with her eyes tightly closed, and suddenly felt that she also had a pitiful side.
"Then what should we do? We can't kill her or get her tears..." Yuan You frowned in thought.
