Although alone, Su Luo was not afraid.
A smirk touched her lips, and she taunted, "So it's you, little Brahma doggy. Come looking for big sister again so soon? Missed me? Hurry, give us a bark for big sister to hear."
Brahma's face contorted with rage. "Su Luo, you dare insult this young lord! How audacious of you!"
"Insult you? Big sister intends to deal with you! You'd better behave and tell me what's going on. Otherwise, when big sister catches you, I'll give your backside a good spanking."
As Su Luo spoke mocking and sarcastic words, her heart remained extremely vigilant.
The opponent had instantly moved her from Jade Void City to this place, indicating a long-prepared arrangement. Although Brahma's Sand Vein Heart was in her possession, this insane young lord of the Demonic Sect was still a formidable opponent.
The best approach was to enrage Brahma, to make him lose control of his emotions.
Once the dominant personality emerged, she could easily handle him.
Seeing Brahma's face turn ashen and on the verge of exploding, he somehow managed to restrain himself and sneered, "Su Luo, don't think this young lord will fall for your tricks again. You won't escape today. This formation was meticulously designed to deal with you and Li Tianjue. Although it only traps you now, it's enough. Once you are captured, can Li Tianjue and the others from Qingxu Heaven possibly escape?"
Su Luo's heart sank. So this black platform was a formation, meant to deal with everyone from Qingxu Heaven?
She calmed herself and surveyed her surroundings.
At that moment, a puff of black smoke emerged from behind Brahma, and a person materialized out of thin air.
This person's age was indiscernible. He was extremely ugly, clad in a black robe, with a head of messy, chicken-nest-like fiery red hair. He was as gaunt as a skeleton. His eyes, however, were dark and luminous, sharp as knives, capable of piercing one's soul.
As soon as he appeared, the blood-sha aura emanating from him was unrestrained, his killing intent even more potent than Brahma's. His eagle-like gaze fell upon Su Luo, and he cackled, "A mere little girl from Qingxu Heaven dares to disrespect my young lord. Today is your death day."
Brahma said coldly, "Don't kill her so easily. First, retrieve my Sand Vein Heart, then torment her severely. This young lord wants her to beg for life and wish for death!"
The skeleton man's voice, hoarse like a crow's, replied, "Yes, Young Lord."
Immediately, Brahma transformed into countless grains of sand, merging into the ground.
A rustling sound echoed from the surrounding dense forest. Figures covered in blood emerged... No, Su Luo saw clearly, they were no longer human, but corpses, much like the zombies she had seen in movies in her past life.
Their attire clearly indicated they were ordinary civilians, men and women, but they were dead.
A fatal blow to the heart had created a gaping hole. Their eyes were vacant, their skin rotted, yet they could still move, their agility far exceeding that of ordinary people. They had grown sharp, black nails and gathered behind the skeleton man.
The skeleton man looked at Su Luo with sinister triumph. "Little girl, do you know who I am? If you're wise, hand over the Sand Vein Heart. Otherwise, my poison corpses will show you their might!"
"White Bone Heavenly Demon, one of Moluojia's eight hounds."
Su Luo had already learned the identity of this ugly skeleton man from her Divine Eye Mirror. She said coldly, "To deal with Qingxu Heaven, you actually poisoned so many civilians. You are utterly inhuman. You deserve to die immediately."
While speaking mockingly, her heart was filled with grave solemnity.
The White Bone Heavenly Demon was notoriously wicked. He had come prepared, and by killing so many ordinary people to refine poison corpses, a major incident was bound to occur. Her eldest senior brother must know of her disappearance by now, and everyone would surely be preparing to rescue her, but she could not afford to be careless.
"A bunch of lowly peasants. It is their honor to become my poison corpses," the White Bone Heavenly Demon said sinisterly. "Since you are unappreciative, then taste my Three Killing Poison Corpse Formation. A word of warning, do not let even a tiny bit of skin be wounded, or you, a tender young girl, will also turn into my poison corpse. Hahahahaha..."
With a bang, the black smoke exploded, and he vanished amidst his maniacal laughter.
The poison corpses charged towards Su Luo. They moved with swift agility, their nails black as metal. Even though this was Su Luo's first encounter with them, she knew she could not let them get close.
Without hesitation, Su Luo retrieved her hand crossbow and fired an arrow.
She had already replenished her expended arrows with the Second Elder and had forged fifty more.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The poison corpses rushed forward rapidly. The arrows penetrated their bodies, exploding and blasting a bowl-sized hole in their rotten forms. Yet, Su Luo's heart sank. Their physical bodies were too robust.
These were Saint-grade Tier Three weapons, and they could barely restrain these poison corpses. Ordinary swords and sabers would have been almost useless.
They must have been refined by the White Bone Heavenly Demon, which made these corpses so durable and resistant to damage.
Before long, all fifty arrows were depleted. The ground was littered with exploded black blood and corpse fragments. The surrounding weeds had corroded into black water, with countless black bubbles rising, emitting a pungent and unpleasant odor.
"Corpse poison!"
Su Luo looked at the information displayed on her Divine Eye Mirror, her vigilance increasing.
These poison corpses were villagers from the nearby Red Stone Town, all killed and transformed into poison corpses. To exact revenge, to kill her and Li Tianjue, Brahma and the White Bone Heavenly Demon simply did not regard ordinary human lives as anything of value.
"Brahma, when I catch you, I will make you taste the agony!" Su Luo gritted her teeth secretly.
To conserve her spiritual energy, she began to change her attack methods. She put away the arrowless hand crossbow and drew her Moon Chasing Sword, severing the legs of the approaching poison corpses to prevent them from attacking her. While searching for an exit, she also kept an eye out for Brahma's whereabouts.
Before long, Su Luo had killed over twenty more, but the poison corpses continued to emerge endlessly.
Su Luo was growing tired. She consumed a spirit recovery pill and hid in a large tree. After a brief rest, five more poison corpses emerged. Facing one that had chased her up the tree, she leaped down and severed its neck with her sword. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Half an hour later...
Su Luo had already killed over a hundred poison corpses, but they continued to swarm out of the surroundings, like dense wild dogs, drawn by scent, eager to devour.
More importantly, Su Luo discovered she was lost and could not break out of this dense forest at all.
She clearly saw a tree ahead, but as soon as she rushed past it, her vision blurred, and for the third time, she returned to the black platform. The surroundings were in disarray, with shattered remains and poisonous blood everywhere. She was trapped within a formation.
The Three Killing Poison Corpse Formation!
...
Outside the formation.
Brahma stood with his hands behind his back, looking expressionlessly at the woman kneeling before him.
"Say that again?" he asked, utterly enraged.
"Your subordinate, your subordinate sincerely begs the Young Lord..."
Hua Xiangrong knelt on one knee with a pitiable air, saying cautiously, "Xiao Lang is innocent and has nothing to do with this. Your subordinate can vouch with her life, please let the Young Lord spare him."
Brahma stared at her chillingly. "Emissary Hua, do you know what you are saying? For the sake of a man, you would betray the Dark Magic Ridge, betray my father?"
Hua Xiangrong quickly replied, "No, your subordinate is loyal and would never betray you. But Xiao Lang..."
After much hesitation, she lowered her head and pleaded, "I beg the Young Lord to let him go. Your subordinate will give her all and serve Master and the Young Lord for a lifetime..."
Before she could finish, Brahma waved his hand, the ground bulged, and a mass of mud and sand wrapped around a person emerged.
It was Xiao Jingchen!
