After retrieving Ghostly Cold, Ning Yuyao turned her gaze to the Cloud Frost Sword lying on the ground not far away, a gentle look flashing in her eyes.
"Brother Yunhao..."
She tried to retrieve the sword, but found large patches of blackness on her legs and waist.
The Blue-tailed Needle is less toxic than the other two, but if left unattended, it can still become a major problem.
Ning Yuyao took out a pill and swallowed it, finally beginning to sit cross-legged in meditation to recover from her injuries.
...
With a sudden shift in light and shadow, Mu Shuangshuang left the illusion array, grumbling and cursing.
When they reappeared, they were back in the underground chamber where they had previously negotiated with Shen Yunhao.
"When did this den of poisonous insects open?" Mu Shuangshuang frowned, staring at the large hole in the center of the dark room. "Could it be that kidney deficiency..."
"Shuangshuang, it's been so long..."
However, at that moment, a low, soft, and feminine voice sounded from behind.
Mu Shuangshuang's pupils contracted, and she turned around abruptly, just in time to see the pale-faced man giving her a meaningful smile.
Mu Shuangshuang's expression stiffened, and a deeply hidden killing intent flashed deep in her eyes, but she still showed a spring-like smile on her face.
"Oh, it's Brother Teng! How did you know your little sister was here?"
No matter how much hatred she felt in her heart, Mu Shuangshuang dared not turn against him at this moment.
Without the Death Tail Needle, she is no match for Teng Kui at all... not to mention that there must be other experts hiding behind Teng Kui.
Seeing Mu Shuangshuang's pretentious act, Teng Kui smiled sinisterly.
"I missed my sister terribly after not seeing her for a while, so naturally I had to come and see her..."
As he spoke, he approached step by step, his eyes once again revealing that infatuated look that Mu Shuangshuang found utterly disgusting.
Mu Shuangshuang clenched her fists behind her back, veins bulging, wishing she could tear the man in front of her to pieces immediately...
Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, she had to suppress that trace of murderous intent.
"Brother Teng, what are you saying? If you wish to see your sister, you only need to give the word, and she will naturally travel a great distance to meet you. There's no need for you to come looking for me in person..."
As Teng Kui drew closer, Mu Shuangshuang subconsciously took a half-step back. When she reached the edge of the pit, she suddenly said, "By the way, brother... I've captured an incredible little girl. She's stunningly beautiful, even more so than me. She's inside this illusion array. Don't you want to go in and take a look?"
Teng Kui wanted to shift the blame, but wasn't she doing the same thing?
"Hehehe..." However, Teng Kui completely ignored her, staring at her intently: "Shuangshuang, you know... in my eyes, no girl in this world can compare to a single hair on your head..."
These were supposed to be the most touching words, but to Mu Shuangshuang they only made her feel nauseous and want to vomit.
Because she knew very well that these words contained no affection whatsoever... only an intense, perverse possessiveness!
"Yeah……"
At this moment, Teng Kui was already very close, with the distance between the two less than two meters.
Mu Shuangshuang's expression suddenly changed, and she suddenly struck out with her right palm, which was filled with black energy, clearly carrying a deadly poison.
Teng Kui, seemingly having anticipated this, simply raised his hand and sent a burst of energy pushing the opponent's palm away.
Both were experts in using poison, so neither dared to make any physical contact with the other.
Mu Shuangshuang launched an attack with both palms raised, already showing a sense of desperation...
Teng Kui, who had just blocked the attack, opened his mouth to speak, but his expression froze.
Turning his head, he saw that a silver scorpion tail had somehow pierced his neck!
Phantom Tail Needle!
Mu Shuangshuang's tail is known for its speed. Once someone enters her attack range, she can activate her tail needle at any time, making it difficult for opponents of the same cultivation level to react!
Feeling her venom successfully injected into the other person's body, Mu Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the redness rising in her eyes, and slowly withdrew the tail needle.
"Brother Teng, haven't you heard of femme fatales...? Staying too close to your sister isn't a wise move!"
From the moment Mu Shuangshuang saw Teng Kui, she began to plan this attack.
Since the other party has made a blatant move, there is no point in pretending anymore.
Either kill him, or die yourself...
Fortunately, this time the needle hit its mark, unlike before when it struck Ning Yuyao's protective magic item behind her...
Sometimes, getting an injection also depends on luck. If it hadn't been Qingwei that stabbed Ning Yuyao, but Huanwei instead, the outcome would have been decided long ago, and his poisonous tail wouldn't have suffered such a severe injury.
However, to Mu Shuangshuang's scalp's tingling, Teng Kui once again revealed that chilling smile.
"You...you...this is impossible..."
"What a pity..." Teng Kui said wistfully, "Shuangshuang's Illusionary Tail Needles are rather disappointing..."
Only then did Mu Shuangshuang vaguely sense something, her eyes widening in shock and fear: "You've broken through to the Soul Control Realm!"
Although the Illusionary Tail Needle is powerful, it can only work on opponents of the same or lower cultivation level. Once the opponent is a level higher than her, the Illusionary Tail Needle will not be effective and its effect is even less than that of the Azure Tail Needle.
"How are you... not having a good time with the side effects, are you...?"
At this moment, Teng Kui looked up at the silver scorpion tail suspended in mid-air, which was now tinged with a faint blush.
This is the side effect of the Illusionary Tail Needle. After being pricked with two needles in a row, Mu Shuangshuang was already unable to suppress the surging red tide.
Mu Shuangshuang raised her head, her gaze towards Teng Kui filled with a sense of despair, and she finally stopped maintaining her usual fake smile.
"Fine! I admit defeat this time! What exactly do you want? To kill me? Do you even have the guts?"
"Shuangshuang, don't you understand my feelings for you!" Teng Kui's desire grew stronger. "I know the rules of your Scorpion Clan. Come on! I won't resist. You can sting me as much as you want!"
Mu Shuangshuang gritted her teeth fiercely.
The Blue Tail Needle and the Illusion Tail Needle couldn't hurt him, but the Death Tail Needle, which could hurt him, was now severely injured. Even if he could barely sting people... who knows if he was telling the truth about not resisting?
How could she dare to risk taking the death needle?
Such remarks are nothing more than laughable words uttered in response to her current predicament.
Seeing that Mu Shuangshuang remained motionless, Teng Kui also lost his patience.
"Shuangshuang, I told you... you would definitely pay the price for what happened in Lingyou Valley. Since I've made my move today, I never intended for you to leave alive..."
"Don't worry, after you die, I will make you one of my most precious treasures!"
"But before you die... I'd really like to taste what this femme fatale is like!"
Mu Shuangshuang's pupils dilated violently, her face showing horror.
As a member of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, how dare he kill her, the Holy Maiden!
But before she could think, Teng Kui suddenly waved his hand, and a light red powder instantly enveloped Mu Shuangshuang's entire body.
"This is... pollen from the flower of the 'Ghost Flower,' that bastard!"
