Suddenly, Yun Jianyue sprang into action. The crescent moon appeared behind the monster without her noticing, and with a single spin, it slashed at her head.
Xie Daoyun was startled, thinking that this monster was obviously not a good person. Why did the leader of the Yun Cult want to attack it? If they failed and completely angered it, the two of them would probably be in big trouble.
Yun Jianyue's way of thinking was different from hers. She realized that this monster was by no means a kind person, so she decisively chose to strike first rather than wait for the other party to make the first move and thus be put on the defensive.
However, her eyes quickly narrowed as she saw the crescent moon slice through the monster's head, instantly tearing it to pieces.
But she couldn't be happy, because she felt that she hadn't really killed the other person.
Sure enough, a cloud of black mist quickly condensed, and the monster reappeared on the roof beam on the other side.
Yun Jianyue's expression hardened, and she prepared to attack again.
At this moment, the monster spoke: "Hehehe, it's useless, your attacks have no effect on me."
Upon seeing the monster speak human language, Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun were both startled. However, since they could communicate, Yun Jianyue didn't continue to attack: "Who are you? What is this place?"
"I'm usually the one asking questions, I never thought I'd be the one asking questions today," the monster replied with a grin. "Well, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll answer one of your questions. My name is Sphinx. As for where this place is, you'll have to find out for yourselves if you can get past me."
"Sphinx?" Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun exchanged a glance, thinking what a strange name.
However, they immediately sensed the hidden meaning in the other person's words: "Have you gotten past me?"
As they spoke, the two simultaneously prepared to attack, this time with much greater power than before.
The sphinx didn't move at all this time, letting the various rays of light from the two people shine on it. It didn't have a single scratch on its body, as if it didn't exist in this time and space at all.
Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun's expressions changed, and they both felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. This monster was too strange.
At this moment, the sphinx-like monster raised its paw and waved it: "I told you all that attacking is useless, now can you listen to me properly?"
Yun Jianyue snorted coldly: "It's not necessarily useless, it's just that we haven't found your weakness yet."
Having weathered many storms, she was naturally not intimidated by the other party. Her mind raced as she began to consider the other party's possible weaknesses and whether her skills might be effective against it.
The sphinx said, "If I really have to talk about weaknesses, I might indeed have one."
Although they knew it wouldn't be so kind as to expose its shortcomings, the two women couldn't help but be drawn to it.
"If you can answer my questions, I will naturally disappear and you will have passed the test," the monster's tone suddenly turned sinister. "But if you answer incorrectly, I will take your souls. How about that? Is the deal fair?"
Yun Jianyue snorted coldly: "I don't like to follow other people's rules!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a sea of blood surged around her, even affecting Xie Daoyun, who trembled violently, her eyes filled with blood, and she even had difficulty breathing.
Yun Jianyue summoned the Changxin Palace Lantern again, and the yellow light fell down, locking the monster in place.
Then she transformed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, crashing down on the monster and engulfing it in the blood.
Among them.
Once engulfed by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the other party will quickly become a part of that sea of blood, subject to her control and enslavement.
A smile had just appeared on Yun Jianyue's face when she suddenly froze, because she discovered that after the sea of blood, the other party was still standing in the same spot, completely unharmed.
The sphinx chuckled and said, "Not bad, a domain skill. If we were really face to face, this move would be quite troublesome."
"However, we are separated by countless dimensions of time and space, so how could your attack possibly harm me?"
Yun Jianyue's heart sank. She had just realized that the other party was not in the current space at all. Even if it was an Earth Immortal, it might not be able to hurt the other party.
So she had no choice but to put away the sea of blood to avoid hurting Xie Daoyun who was standing nearby.
As the domain dissipated, Xie Daoyun gasped for breath, glancing at her with lingering fear. He thought to himself, no wonder there were such rumors; just how many people had this woman killed to create such a terrifying mountain of corpses and sea of blood?
The sphinx said, "Now that you understand, let's start answering the questions. I love your stubborn and strong spirit, so you can go first."
Without waiting for the other party's objection, he began to recite: "What animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?"
Yun Jianyue's expression changed slightly. She keenly sensed that as the other party spoke, some laws seemed to be enveloping her. In an instant, she realized that if she couldn't answer the other party's question, her soul would really be taken away by it.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on her temples. She had experienced countless battles in her life, but none had been as dangerous and frustrating as this one, where all her skills were completely useless.
She quickly thought of all the animals she had seen and heard. She originally thought the question was easy, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't find a suitable one, and her heart suddenly became uneasy.
"Tsk tsk tsk, time's almost up. If you can't answer, I'll take your soul. Oh my, I can feel the deliciousness of your soul even across so much time and space." The sphinx licked its lips, as if it couldn't wait any longer.
