Zhao Hu and Yang Chang arrived at the cave.
The girl being dragged had already fainted. Tang Yao put a pill in her mouth to save her life.
"Yaoyao, you were too impulsive!"
“If this child is dragged into the cave, he will surely die.”
Just as they were talking, a cold wind blew out of the cave, and a group of Yin puppets rushed out. Tang Yao carried the girl and retreated to a safe distance.
Yang Chang took out a spirit sword and killed the approaching Yin Puppet with one strike. Zhao Hu swung his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, and smashed the head of the Yin Puppet coming towards him with one punch.
Tang Yao placed the girl in a safe place, then took her sword and went to the cave entrance to help. They quickly dealt with the Yin puppets.
"Hehehe."
A sinister laugh rang out.
A pale-faced scholar-like evil cultivator emerged from the cave. His scarlet eyes swept over the crowd, finally settling on Tang Yao. He licked his lips and said, "Your blood must be delicious."
Tang Yao's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she rebuked, "Evil cultivator, today is your death day!"
Zhao Hu laughed loudly, "This time you have nowhere to escape!"
"Hehehe, you overconfident fools, come at me all at once." The pale-faced scholar stood with his hands behind his back.
Yang Chang and his companions showed no mercy, and the three of them attacked simultaneously, with two sword lights slashing towards the pale-faced scholar from the left and right.
The pale-faced scholar stood still without dodging; blood-red light emanated from his body, directly blocking the two sword beams.
Zhao Hu rushed forward and swung his fist down, the sound of the punch whistling as the pale-faced scholar countered with his own.
Bang!
Zhao Hu was sent flying by the blast.
His arms were trembling.
"Something's not right with this guy!"
Zhao Hu felt a chill run down his spine.
Yang Chang and Tang Yao rushed forward, thrusting their swords at the pale-faced scholar, shouting, "Prepare to die!"
"roll!"
The pale-faced scholar released a bloody light from his body, and a powerful killing aura spread out, sending the two of them flying.
"not good."
"This evil cultivator has become even stronger!"
Yang Chang's pupils contracted sharply. No wonder the evil cultivators didn't run away this time; they were in trouble.
Tang Yao frowned. The pale-faced scholar's strength had increased significantly, and even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for him.
The pale-faced scholar soared into the air, and Yang Chang and the others stared wide-eyed as he walked on air—a symbol of a Core Formation expert.
"Hehehe!"
"You wouldn't believe it, would you? I used the extreme Yin energy of the Red Moon Festival to condense a Blood Core, making me as powerful as a Core Formation expert. You've come here to die, so I'll grant your wish."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the pale-faced scholar rushed over, conjuring two beams of blood-red light in his hands, like two blood-stained longswords. Yang Chang and Tang Yao tried to defend themselves with their swords, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; both of them were repelled at the same time.
"Mountain Crushing Fist!"
Zhao Hu's eyes widened, and he leaped high into the air, like a tiger descending a mountain, with immense force.
A blood-red barrier appeared around the pale-faced scholar, but Zhao Hu's attack failed to penetrate it.
Yang Chang and Tang Yao fought desperately, joining forces to unleash two sword beams that pierced the pale-faced scholar's barrier.
Boom!
The barrier was shattered.
The pale-faced scholar's figure vanished without a trace.
"He's lurking in the shadows; we can't let our guard down."
Yang Chang and Tang Yao stood back to back, searching for the pale-faced scholar.
"ah!"
Zhao Hu let out a wail.
Tang Yao looked at Zhao Hu, only to find the pale-faced scholar clinging to her back and biting off a large piece of flesh.
Zhao Hu clutched his neck, blood still flowing freely. The pale-faced scholar, his eyes red, tasted the blood. "The blood and qi of a martial artist are so rich, it's just a pity they smell so bad."
"Walk!"
Yang Chang decisively retreated.
Tang Yao watched as the pale-faced scholar bit into Zhao Hu's flesh, tearing off large chunks with each bite. She gripped her longsword tightly and roared, "I'll fight you to the death!"
"Condensing Light Technique!"
The longsword in Tang Yao's hand burst forth with a bright light.
The pale-faced scholar released Zhao Hu and excitedly pounced on Tang Yao. In his eyes, this woman was tonight's prey, and everyone else was just an appetizer.
"Blood Fiend Technique!"
A ghostly figure lunged at Tang Yao.
When the dazzling sword light collided with the ghostly figure, a gust of wind was stirred up, and Tang Yao was blasted away.
When the smoke cleared, the pale-faced scholar appeared in front of Tang Yao and struck her with a palm, causing her to cough up blood and fly backward until she crashed into a tree and broke it before stopping.
"Cough cough!"
Tang Yao coughed up large amounts of blood.
She collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state.
At the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, she was like a lamb to the slaughter in front of the evil cultivator who was condensing his Blood Core, utterly powerless to resist.
Seeing that Tang Yao had lost the ability to resist, the pale-faced scholar smiled wickedly, "Hehehe, good things should be saved for last. Savor your despair slowly."
Whoosh!
The pale-faced scholar leaped into the air.
Tang Yao tried to move her body but felt weak all over; the evil cultivator's spiritual power was eroding her body.
Not far away, Zhao Hu lay in a pool of blood, barely breathing. He weakly said, "Tang Yao, run away quickly. Please go back and tell my mother that I can't go back to see her."
After saying that.
Zhao Hu closed his eyes.
Tang Yao could sense Zhao Hu's fading aura. She endured the pain and barely managed to pull out a healing pill from her bosom, hoping to regain her strength and leave this place.
Sunset Peak, Dragon and Tiger Temple.
Qin Luo had just finished washing up and was about to go back to his room to rest when the little dumpling flew into the yard. "Boss, I have a clue. There's a monster living in the cave west of the Black Forest."
"These past two days, the monster has captured many people and taken them to the cave. The area is filled with a stench, and the sisters haven't dared to go there to catch bugs lately."
The little dumpling's eyes were filled with anger.
Qin Luo looked towards the black forest. He could sense the aura of killing; there was a strong murderous aura there.
"I see."
Qin Luo disappeared into the courtyard.
"Hey, where's the boss?"
The little dumpling blinked.
In the dark forest.
Tang Yao regained some strength after taking the pill. She stood up and staggered to Zhao Hu's side, only to find that he had already died.
"hateful!"
Tang Yao's fingernails were almost embedded in her flesh.
Where is this?
The girl brought by Zhao Hu woke up.
Tang Yao was pale, but she gritted her teeth and walked up to the girl, forcing a smile. "Don't be afraid, I will take you back."
The girl guessed that Tang Yao had saved her and immediately stepped forward to help her up, saying, "Heroine, thank you for saving my life."
"Let's go!"
Tang Yao knew that the pale-faced scholar would definitely return, and they didn't have much time left.
They hadn't gone far when they saw the pale-faced scholar descend from the sky, carrying Yang Chang's head and tossing it in front of Tang Yao like a ball.
"ah!"
The girl screamed in fright.
"You'd better get out of here!"
Tang Yao pushed away the girl next to her.
The girl was too weak to walk and fainted again.
For the first time in her life, Tang Yao felt utterly hopeless. She didn't want to die yet, and now she only begged someone to save her. She would agree to anything, no matter the conditions.
