Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty – The Terrifying Female Xiu (2/2)
———
Dao Zi, whose face had been filled with viciousness just a moment ago, seemed to have seen a ghost, his facial muscles continuously trembling. He turned and wanted to flee, but he felt he couldn’t move, not even a finger.
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment. The xiuzhe were all stuck in the air, unable to move like puppets.
That exquisite pair of porcelain bare feet would pass beside a person, and that person would drop from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, in the enormous battlefield of the sky, there was no one left except the female xiu.
A deathly silence.
The wind blew past. The female xiu silently floated in the air.
———
The sound of teeth chattering entered Zuo Mo’s ears. He turned around his face, and saw all the xiuzhe beside him were trembling and their teeth chattering. Zuo Mo had originally been feeling cold all over, his heart beating furiously. However, when he saw everyone’s state, the terror in his heart suddenly became fainter.
———
Jiang Wei and Jiang Hao’s face were ashen, their bodies uncontrollably trembling. The xiuzhe beside him were the same.
The female xiu suddenly turned her face, and looked towards them.
“Ah!” A yell filled with terror suddenly sounded in everyone’s ears. A xiuzhe’s face was twisted, his eyes bulging out, several streams of blood coming out of his nostrils and mouth. He froze in this position as he softly fell on the ground.
That shriek had almost caused Jiang Wei’s heart to stop beating. He just wanted to swear, but when he saw the person’s state his heart was even more shocked! This subordinate had followed him for a long time, and had seen many kinds of situations. Today, he was actually scared to death!
When he saw the other people, he knew if he ordered them to keep fighting, he would be the first person cut down!
He glanced with terror at the strange woman that was wearing a mask and looked like a clown. He knew that he would never forget this strange figure in his entire life.
“Run!” He suppressed the furious beating of his heart, and channeled the power to shout and wake everyone up. He turned and ran first.
The other people were also frightened, their faces paling. Like birds alarmed, they turned to flee.
The female xiu did not pursue them, and only watched in silence. Under her pair of heart-shocking and soul-shaking bare feet were one hundred corpses.
———
Zuo Mo didn’t even know how he had returned to the city at the end. His mind was blank. The shock and blow left by that last scene had been too much for him. It wasn’t just him. All the xiuzhe of the city seemed to have lost their souls. They had personally seen the female xiu’s strange and unpredictable fighting. No one dared to raise their heads to look at the female xiu, or to meet her gaze.
Just like normal, the female xiu stood silently near Zuo Mo.
In the sea of consciousness, Pu Yao’s face was serious in front of Zuo Mo. This was the first time Zuo Mo had seen Pu Yao so serious.
“What spell is that?” Zuo Mo’s tone was raw.
“Don’t know.” Pu Yao clearly had been frightened by the female xiu as well. He said in a deep tone, “I cannot think of any spell or secret method that is related.”
“When I inspected her body, I found a strange power inside her body. Her body is clearly almost on the verge of collapse, it’s packed with old wounds,” Zuo Mo thought for a moment and said, hoping to give Pu Yao some clues.
“If it is like that, it should be a kind of self-harm spell or secret method. These types of spells and secret methods are powerful, but they shorten the lifespan,” Pu Yao said seriously. “You have to be careful. Her origins are not simple.”
“Careful … …” Zuo Mo’s face was more bitter than a bitter melon as he spread his hands, “How can I be careful?”
Pu Yao didn’t know what to say either. His complexion was not any better than Zuo Mo. Meeting a person whose origins he did not know, and was not match for, made him feel defeat as one who had once been a Sky Yao.
“I wonder if we can ask her to help against Clear Sky Old Forefather?” Zuo Mo suddenly said.
“She’s too young.” Pu Yao shook his head, “Even if it is a self-harm spell, the time she has spent on cultivation is too short. She may be strong, but not comparable to jindan. She can deal with ningmai like chopping vegetables, but against jindan, that’s a different matter.”
“Jindan and ningmai is not a difference in the kind of power, but the difference in essence of power,” Pu Yao continued, “The difference of the essence is not something that can be overcome with other methods.”
Zuo Mo found it was right after he thought about it.
“Tell me, did she use some kind of mental confusion spell?” Zuo Mo suddenly asked, “Why did I just charge out? I shouldn’t have! I remember there was a purple light in her eyes.”
“She definitely didn’t use one. I’m clear about that.” Pu Yao’s answer was very confident, but then his voice was also filled with puzzlement, “But I’m puzzled too. How come you just charged out? You are the one most scared of death.”
“I feel the same.” Zuo Mo did not feel embarrassed and nodded his head. “She didn’t give me any jingshi, why did I charge out? It is so evil!”
“She isn’t beautiful. If she was a beauty … …” Pu Yao pondered as he rubbed his chin.
“Beauty?” Zuo Mo glared, and instinctively raised his volume. “If there is no jingshi, even beauties don’t work!”
“Then why?” Pu Yao couldn’t understand.
“Why … …” Zuo Mo’s brows furrowed, his face full of distress.
This question was so strange, so confusing. If he couldn’t resolve it, he wouldn’t feel safe. If he went out like this again without knowing why, he might lose his little life.
———
Just as Zuo Mo was worried about this, inside a little quiet mountain cave not far away from Nan Sheng Village.
Ma Fan and Xie Shan opened their eyes at the same time.
Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo and Pu Yao find he is acting out of character. Beauty doesn’t work on Zuo Mo, only money.
