In fact, judging from their strength on paper, Mu Shuangshuang has an absolute advantage over Ning Yuyao, and if the fight continues like this, Ning Yuyao will definitely lose.
However, Mu Shuangshuang hadn't expected Ning Yuyao to be so clever as to rush up to her face and engage in close combat with the demon.
As everyone knows, Mu Shuangshuang's strongest move is her three poisonous tails, especially the dead tail, which requires constant vigilance when fighting against her!
Putting Ning Yuyao within the attack range of three venomous tails simultaneously was undoubtedly a very unwise choice...
Indeed, after Mu Shuangshuang took control of the Cloud Frost Sword, Ning Yuyao seemed unable to deal with the three poisonous tails that attacked at the same time. She had no choice but to abandon the sword and use her bare hands to block the most deadly deadly tail needle...
The other two needles stung her without any resistance, and the venom was injected rapidly.
Theoretically speaking, she was doomed to defeat. Even if she didn't die, she wouldn't be able to withstand the effects of the Illusionary Tail Needle and would be controlled by Mu Shuangshuang, becoming a spy planted by the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect in the Guanghan Palace...
but……
Sometimes, theory and practice are... worlds apart!
Mu Shuangshuang's smile didn't last long before her expression slowly froze.
Although the girl in front of her had been hit by two needles, she did not show any pain on her face. Instead, she raised her head and looked at her indifferently.
Those who are pierced by the Illusionary Tail Needle will be in a state of stiffness unless their cultivation is a whole realm higher than Mu Shuangshuang's, and then their minds will be controlled by her.
But the girl in front of me showed no signs of poisoning whatsoever.
Sensing danger, Mu Shuangshuang immediately tried to pull out her tail.
However, the blue-tailed needle that had pierced the girl's lower abdomen was easily withdrawn, but the phantom-tailed needle...
A thin layer of frost suddenly formed on the girl's back where the silver hook had pierced.
Meanwhile, the black tail that the girl was holding was instantly covered in frost!
"You...you..."
Mu Shuangshuang, who had just been sneering, suddenly panicked and asked in shock and anger, "What do you want to do!?"
Her answer was a resounding sword cry!
Ning Yuyao's Cloud Frost Sword had been intercepted by Mu Shuangshuang, but at this moment, a jet-black longsword appeared in her hand without her noticing.
"Ranked seventy-second on the Divine Weapon List! The renowned sword Ghostly Cold! This sword is actually in your hands!"
Mu Shuangshuang's pupils shrank, her tone filled with horror!
Only then did she realize that Ning Yuyao's originally dark eyes had turned into a pure ice blue, containing an indifference devoid of any emotion!
"Wait...wait! Let's talk this out!"
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of his longsword, dark green blood spurted out, splashing onto the ground and mixing with the surrounding bluish-green venom.
A moment later, Ning Yuyao slightly raised her eyes and looked at the girl in the black dress who had returned to human form and was standing not far away, her face still expressionless.
It seemed that the moment the Ghostly Cold Sword was drawn, all of the girl's emotions were taken away by the sword.
"Your Death Tail Sting... is useless... Now, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
Blood trickled from the corner of Mu Shuangshuang's mouth as she gasped for breath, her expression still showing lingering fear.
Behind her, the three scorpion tails did not retract.
The blue tail was unharmed, but the silver phantom tail was completely frozen by frost, with ice shards still falling from the sharp hook at its end.
As for the final black tail, one of the middle sections had an even more terrifying cut that was so deep that the bone was visible, and the entire cross section was cut off by a full half!
This was only because Mu Shuangshuang transformed back into human form in a moment of panic, causing the sword strike to deviate slightly; otherwise, the tail would definitely have been cut in two...
Aside from her mother, the Death Tail Needle is her greatest asset in the Demon Sect. If she loses it, she probably won't even be able to keep her position as a Holy Maiden!
Mu Shuangshuang now realized that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by the girl in front of her.
Her giant scorpion body was indestructible, making it difficult for Ning Yuyao to inflict any effective damage on her.
However... it is not without weaknesses.
Her biggest weakness is her black tail...
No one knew that the Death Tail Needle, which even gods and Buddhas feared, was actually quite fragile!
Let alone these top-ranked swords, even the weaker Cloud Frost Sword from before could have been cut down by her...
Otherwise, why would she keep using the Green Tail to stab people, but dare not easily use the most poisonous Death Tail Needle?
Because if she fails to sting anyone and instead gets injured in the tail, it would be a huge blow to her...
The Death Tail Needle is too fragile, and the Illusion Tail Needle has side effects when it pierces people. Only the Green Tail Needle, which has slightly weaker toxicity, can be used infinitely. Moreover, it has high defense and health, and can even regenerate infinitely. That's why she uses it as her main means of attack.
This is the balance of power; the strongest is also the weakest.
Clearly, Ning Yuyao had seen this during the previous exchange, which is why she came up with this life-for-life strategy!
Mu Shuangshuang would naturally be on guard if she wanted to attack the tail directly, as the chances of success were too low. The only way was to lure her out of the hook!
As it turns out, Ning Yuyao succeeded.
Whether or not the tail, which has been cut in half, can be saved is another matter, but Mu Shuangshuang will definitely not be able to use the Death Tail Sting again in the short term, thus reducing the threat by more than half.
If the fight continues, the outcome is still uncertain, but...
"Very well! You've won today, I, Mu Shuangshuang, am completely convinced!"
The girl in the black dress gritted her teeth fiercely, her eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness: "But you've been hit by so many of my needles, you won't feel any better..."
Through the gauze skirt, one could see that Ning Yuyao's waist was completely black, and the black poisonous blood seeping out had already stained the white dress!
"If we continue fighting, I might pay a heavy price, but you will surely die! This Ghostly Chill isn't something just anyone can use!"
Seeing that Ning Yuyao remained unmoved, Mu Shuangshuang was almost about to burst into curses in frustration, but finally her eyes lit up and she said, "Don't you want to go and save your brother Yun Hao?"
"..."
When Shen Yunhao was mentioned, a flicker seemed to appear in the girl's icy blue eyes.
"Even if that kid isn't dead, he's in great danger right now. If you and I keep lingering here, who will go and save him?"
The light in Ning Yuyao's eyes grew brighter, and her brows furrowed little by little.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mu Shuangshuang retracted her scorpion tail and turned to run without hesitation...
She had no reason or interest in staying here to fight Ning Yuyao to the death.
The two didn't even have any grudges against each other; they were both trapped here because they fell into Teng Kui's trap.
What Teng Kui most wanted to see was her kill Ning Yuyao, lose the Death Tail Needle, and be hunted down by the people of Guanghan Palace.
"Damn you weak-willed man, I'll tear you to pieces... Ouch... That hurts, my tail... Damn brat, if I don't get my revenge, I, Mu Shuangshuang, swear I won't become a demon!"
...
After Mu Shuangshuang escaped, Ning Yuyao suddenly bent over and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Ghostly Cold Sword in his hand was still trembling, as if it had tasted blood and could no longer suppress the overwhelming killing intent hidden within its blade.
Ning Yuyao took a deep breath, struggled to form a hand seal, and it took her a long time to put the sword back into her storage magic item.
Mu Shuangshuang was absolutely right. If the fight continued, she would definitely suffer a backlash from the divine artifact...
