Yan Ning's voice trembled slightly: "Master? Is that you?"
The figure drew closer, its face filled with worry: "A-Ning! What are you doing here? It's too dangerous!"
He hurried over and carefully examined Yan Ning from head to toe, afraid that she might be hurt somewhere.
Yan Ning felt a surge of warmth in her heart, grabbed her master's hand, and tears welled up in her eyes:
"Master... Ning'er misses you so much."
These past few days have been filled with fear and anxiety, but as soon as her master appeared, she felt like she had found her pillar of support.
The master sighed and patted her shoulder:
"Silly girl, don't you know how eerie this place is? So many people have gone in and died!"
Yan Ning shook her head, but her eyes were firm: "I know it's dangerous, but I have to try."
"By the way, Master, are you also here looking for treasure?"
The master paused for a moment before slowly saying, "No, I heard you were here and rushed over, afraid something might happen to you."
Yan Ning felt even warmer inside, and smiled as she took his hand:
"That's perfect! Master, let's go in together! I feel much more at ease with you here; we're sure to find the treasure!"
The master took a deep breath and nodded: "Alright, let's go in together, but you have to listen to me and don't do anything reckless!"
Yan Ning nodded vigorously, a smile on his face, and turned to walk into the cave.
The very next second after she turned her back to her master.
The kind old face behind him, which had just been full of concern, instantly turned into a hideous expression.
His eyes were as cold and sinister as a venomous snake.
He suddenly reached out, his fingernails seemingly turning black and sharp, and with a chilling wind, he shoved hard at Yan Ning's back.
I wanted to push her right off the dark cliff next to me!
Trying to push me? What a pipe dream!
Yan Ning reacted incredibly quickly, as if she had eyes in the back of her head.
She nimbly dodged to the side, deftly avoiding the black hand.
She turned around, gave a cold laugh, her voice as cold as ice:
"You bastard! My master died a long time ago, and I buried his ashes myself! If you're going to impersonate him, at least pretend to be a living person!"
Master's expression changed drastically! He panicked for a moment, then his expression turned sinister and ruthless, and he said in a strange, mocking tone:
"Tsk, you've already given yourself away? Looks like I was too hasty and underestimated you."
Yan Ning didn't say anything more and directly took out a manifestation talisman from his pocket.
With a flick of her wrist, the talisman flew toward her "master" with a "whoosh".
The talisman struck "Master" precisely, without missing a beat.
A soft "thump!"
The talisman exploded with a blinding burst of light, enveloping the "master" entirely.
In the bright light, "Master's" body began to tremble violently, and his face became distorted and deformed, completely changing his appearance.
After the light dissipated, there was no master left on the ground, only a small and ugly ghost.
This thing looks really scary.
Its skin was bluish-gray, its eyes were like burning red charcoal, and its mouth was wide open, giving Yan Ning a sinister smile.
Yan Ning stared intently at the brat, his eyes as cold as ice.
She knew in her heart that this thing, which could transform into her master's appearance, must be extraordinary.
But she can't back down; if she does, she's doomed.
The brat got exposed, but became even more arrogant.
It emitted a shrill laugh, like a knife scraping glass.
"Hahahaha! Su Yanning? You think you can deal with me?"
"Let me tell you, I'm a formidable figure from the Netherworld! You little Taoist priest, just wait until I tear you to pieces!"
Yan Ning wasn't frightened by it. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Verbal battles are useless; you need real skills.
She reached into her bosom and pulled out a short sword that gleamed with a faint blue light.
This was the only keepsake her master left her, called "Breaking Evil," and it was one of her most powerful treasures.
At the time, the old man was reluctant to give the Po Xie to Yan Ning, muttering that it was his precious treasure, and he only got it after Yan Ning persuaded him to give it to him.
Yan Ning gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword tightly, its tip pointing directly at the little devil, his voice cold and hard:
"I don't care where you come from or how powerful you are! You've killed so many people, today I'm going to wipe you out!"
"You? Hahaha, that's hilarious!" The kid said with a face full of disdain.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little devil's figure became blurry, as if he was about to disappear.
Yan Ning knew it was trying to use a trick to launch a sneak attack. His eyes narrowed, and he quickly chanted a spell.
The Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand shone with a brilliant blue light, like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating the entire cave.
At the same time, she moved her feet so fast that she was just a shadow.
In a flash, he rushed in front of the little devil!
The little devil didn't even realize what was happening and blurted out in fright:
Holy crap! That was fast!
Yan Ning's sword was swift and ruthless, aimed straight at the little devil's heart.
The little devil was so frightened that he nearly jumped out of his skin and hurriedly tried to dodge.
But Yan Ning's sword seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing the little devil, its light drawing blue lines in the air.
The little devil was forced to dodge left and right, looking quite disheveled, even though it was rather agile.
But compared to Yan Ning's swordsmanship, it was clearly no match.
"Su Yanning! I'll kill you!"
The little devil was so angry that he roared and his body suddenly swelled several times its original size.
It pounced on Yan Ning like a small mountain!
Yan Ning was not afraid at all. The Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand flew up and down, like a sharp knife, cutting wounds on the little ghost.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!"
The little devil screamed in pain, and his body became visibly weak.
But it was unwilling to accept this!
The ferocity in its eyes grew stronger, and only one crazy thought remained in its mind:
Kill her! Tear her apart!
Kill her! Eat her!
【kill!!】
"Boom—!" The little devil's body suddenly exploded.
A thick, impenetrable black aura, like a flood bursting its banks, surged forth from its body and lunged towards Yan Ning!
The entire cave was instantly swallowed by black mist, turning pitch black.
Oh no! It exploded!
Yan Ning's heart skipped a beat.
A tremendous force slammed into her, and she lost her balance, falling backward.
