Ji Xiaoxiao gasped, "Even a Celestial Lord was tortured? So brutal!"
Liao Kongmin pursed his lips slightly and exhaled a soft breath. In the quiet environment where all other sounds seemed to be dead, his panting breaths were clearly audible to both of them.
"The Shadow Demon Dolls are not just for show; they are the top guardians of the eighteen levels of hell." When Yu Cheng Taiji Immortal Lord spoke of the Shadow Demon Dolls, his expression was fearful, and his immortal aura was slightly disturbed.
The fact that even a Celestial Lord was wary of the Shadow Demon Child meant that the two of them held her in even higher regard.
"Waaah... Mother, Mother."
The sound of a child crying could be heard from inside the tunnel.
Ji Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine and turned to look at the source of the sound.
Directly in front of the tunnel, a round, plump thing was crouching in the shadows.
"Kongmin, did you see that? That's the Shadow Demon Child!"
Ji Xiaoxiao guessed that it might be the infamous Shadow Demon Child.
Liao Kongmin remained silent. He was a true immortal from the Red Temple, unlike Ji Xiaoxiao, who cultivated the path of the Corpse Immortal and Ghostly Fiend. In the dark and cold environment, she could better exert her strength. He couldn't see anything ahead, so he could only proceed with caution.
"Whether it's the Shadow Demon Doll or not, it's better to be careful." Liao Kongmin released his grip on Ji Xiaoxiao's hand to prevent him, a blind man, from holding her back.
"Waaah, Mother, Mother, I want you, I want you."
The voice grew increasingly strange and hoarse, as if sand had been forced into the throat.
Simply defending isn't a solution. Ji Xiaoxiao instructed Liao Kongmin to place his divine sense on her, so that he would do whatever she did. She didn't expect Liao Kongmin to lend a hand—he was worth two men—but only hoped he wouldn't do more harm than good.
The two approached step by step, and Ji Xiaoxiao gradually saw the round, plump lump clearly.
How should I put it?
The round, plump thing looked just like a three- or four-year-old child. It was squatting on the ground, its face buried in its arms, sobbing and trembling.
Ji Xiaoxin softened a little; she was most helpless when it came to children.
"Xiaoxiao, do it!" Liao Kongmin shouted urgently.
The Shadow Demon Child's fearsome reputation has spread throughout the celestial realm; such evil beings must not be treated with mercy.
Ji Xiaoxiao frowned, and her hand gathered its strongest killing move.
A chilling, piercing aura of resentment and ghostly energy swirled and rushed into Ji Xiaoxiao's palm. The Shadow Demon Doll paused its crying and slowly raised its head.
"Mother, you're back."
Ji Xiaoxiao was shocked when she saw the face of the Shadow Demon Child, and she stumbled.
What a face this is! The right side of the face is pink and rosy, plump and fleshy; a gentle pinch and a handful of flesh comes out. But just a hair's breadth away, the left side of the face is rotting flesh, with enormous fat worms crawling around, and a wisp of eerie fire flickering in the empty eye sockets.
"Mother," the Shadow Demon Child cried out in grievance. It slowly stood up, and with a thud, a piece of rotten flesh fell off its left cheek, revealing a large, fat worm that flicked its tail before scurrying into the safer flesh.
"Mother, Mother, baby is so scared, baby is in so much pain, baby misses you so much."
The Shadow Demon Doll opened its arms to Ji Xiaoxiao, flashing an innocent smile.
When the time is right, one must act decisively. Ji Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and unleashed her "Ghostly Vengeful Kill" technique, which tore apart a True Immortal with her bare hands, striking the Shadow Demon Child's crown.
A loud bang was accompanied by a shockwave, and Ji Xiaoxiao and Liao Kongmin were momentarily dizzy and had ringing ears.
Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head frantically, then looked closely and found nothing there.
"How is it, Xiao Xiao?" Liao Kongmin asked.
Ji Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything and told the truth that she hadn't succeeded.
Liao Kongmin's eyelids twitched, his mind agitated, and he said, "In that case, if we alarm and anger the Shadow Demon Child, we may not be able to escape unscathed."
What you say comes true; sometimes, even drinking cold water can cause problems.
"Waaah... You're not my mother, you're not my mother, you're a bad person, you're a bad person, bad people all deserve to die, deserve to die, all of them deserve to die."
The darkness was even more intense.
"Kongmin, I can't see very clearly either. Be careful."
Ji Xiaoxiao was preoccupied with her own problems and asked Liao Kongmin to be extra careful.
Liao Kongmin patted Ji Xiaoxiao on the shoulder, indicating that he understood.
Suddenly, the temperature inside the tunnel dropped sharply, causing the two, who had been unaware of the scorching heat of summer and the chill of winter for a long time, to shiver and their teeth to chatter.
Ji Xiaoxiao and Liao Kongmin leaned back to back, finding it warmer to be close together.
"They're coming."
With such a heavy ghostly and yin aura, it seems the Shadow Demon Child can't hold back any longer.
Liao Kongmin agreed, "That should be it."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
An object is flying at high speed in the darkness.
"They're here."
Ji Xiaoxiao shouted and raised her right hand to block the deadly blow.
Clang! Weapons clashed, sparks flew.
Liao Kongmin is blind and suppressed by the ghostly and yin energy of the Shadow Demon Child, so his strength is much weaker than before. Relying on his innate intuition and acquired sense of crisis, he struggles to defend himself and stays in a corner. Although his life is not in danger, he is covered in wounds.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Shadow Demon Doll's attacks became increasingly fierce, and Ji Xiaoxiao was forced to cough up blood.
"Kongmin, what can defeat them?"
This is Shadow Demon Babies' home turf. They have the advantage of timing, location, and support; outnumbered and outmatched, they won't last long. They must break through the encirclement as soon as possible.
While maintaining strict vigilance, Liao Kongmin tried his best to recall the events.
"I have no idea."
Ji Xiaoxiao remained neither sad nor happy; this was exactly what she had expected. If the Shadow Demon Dolls had any weaknesses and could still be so infamous, they would have been slaughtered by the immortals long ago.
It's true that relying on mountains is risky, relying on people is unreliable, and relying on yourself is the best option.
