Chapter 39: Cultivating Corpse Evil Little Aunt

  "Little aunt... an enemy has come to our doorstep..."

  Zhao Lao San swiftly flew out for over a hundred feet, shouting loudly as he quickly turned around to the back of a mountain slope. Meng Xuan also slightly increased his speed, closely following behind him. However, he didn't directly follow Zhao Lao San past the mountain slope because he had just heard the conversation between those people and knew that there was an ambush set up in front of the slope. Therefore, he ran up from the other end of the slope to observe the layout below from a higher vantage point.

  But then I saw on the empty land behind the mountain slope, a few white lanterns were lit, shining with a bleak whiteness.

  Under the lantern, a fragrant case was placed, on which were placed some talismans, incense burners and other things. In front of the empty space before the fragrant case, however, flags were laid out all over the ground, tied together with red strings, appearing to be disorderly but actually having profound mystery.

  In the empty field, several paper people stood around, wearing red clothes and green pants, with two red spots on their faces, looking very strange.

  A Taoist priestess stood in front of the incense table, seemingly the "Little Auntie" that Zhao Lao San and others had mentioned. She heard Zhao Lao San's shout and lightly leaped over from the incense table, meeting Zhao Lao San with a slap on the face. "What are you yelling about?" she scolded. "In this desolate mountain wilderness, what kind of enemy family is here? How is that Corpse Demon doing? And where are Sun Lao Da and the others?"

  Zhao Lao San took a deep breath and shouted: "Little aunt, I was wrong, it's not the Avenging Family, but a busybody who appeared out of nowhere. We don't know where he came from, he just killed Sun Lao Da and Zhou Er. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been killed too... He must be catching up by now, little aunt, please take him down quickly..."

  "Huh? Who's there?"

  That little girl also slightly stunned, holding a wooden sword in her hand, but looking up and seeing that there was no one appearing in the darkness.

  "I am here!"

  Suddenly a cold voice sounded behind them, and Meng Xuan jumped down from the mountain slope, kicking away the incense table with one foot, looking at them coldly.

  "Little auntie, it was him... he was the one who killed Old Sun with a single sword!"

  Zhao Lao San was so frightened that he yelled loudly and retreated backwards while shouting.

  "Huh? You look quite good, young master. What's your background? Why did you kick over my incense table?"

  That little girl smiled coyly, slightly raised her chin and asked Meng Xuan.

  It wasn't until then that Meng Xuan saw her clearly, but she was a little girl under twenty years old, tall and slender, wearing a light yellow Taoist robe, with delicate features and a pretty face, but with a lot of evil spirit between her eyebrows. After seeing Meng Xuan, she didn't show any panic or anger, but instead, her eyes rolled around continuously, calmly asking Meng Xuan questions, showing that she was a deep-thinking person.

  "Exorcist..."

  Meng Xuan said calmly, step by step approaching, brewing a killing intent, preparing to strike.

  "Oh? So we're fellow travelers, little sister Tú Jiāo. I've been killing zombies with my grandma since I was ten years old. This time, I heard that a corpse demon is buried underground in this domain and has become a calamity. It's likely to break out of the ground soon and harm innocent lives. That's why I came here in a hurry, set up an altar, and prepared to subdue it. By the way, you just came from over there, did you see the corpse demon?"

  Tú Jiāo jiāo smiled, very approachable, her eyes shining brightly, as she walked towards Meng Xuan while speaking.

  "Hmph, glib and smooth-tongued, did you really think you could deceive me?"

  Shen Xuan sneered, "Do you think I don't know? Using a living person as bait to lure out the Corpse Demon, if you're in cahoots with Meng, then Meng Xuan should be sharpening his sword and preparing for his own demise..."

  Tú Jiāo's face revealed a hint of astonishment, and then she smiled bitterly, shaking her head repeatedly. "Oh dear, you've misunderstood..." She took a step forward, seemingly wanting to explain, but just as she shook her hand, her five fingers suddenly pinched into a strange gesture, and then she stomped her foot, shouting: "Dì!"

  "Huh?"

  Meng Xuan was startled in her heart, furrowed her brow and grasped her sword, preparing to defend herself.

  The woman looked like she wasn't highly cultivated, but her mind was sinister. When she waved her hand, she took the opportunity to pinch off a spell seal. With that one foot stomping on the ground, she had already cast a spell, making it impossible to defend against.

  However, when speaking with her, Meng Xuan was highly vigilant and concentrated his spirit to the extreme, not fearing her cunning techniques.

  However, Meng Xuan was fully on guard, but in front of Tu Jiao Jiao, there were no unusual signs, as if the spell had failed.

  "Hmm..."

  Just then, Meng Xuan suddenly felt a cool breeze behind him and was startled. He turned around abruptly and slashed out.

  But then, two white arms reached out from behind him and grabbed him. The paper men standing aside were actually moved by Tu Jiao Jiao's magic, and they quietly attacked him from behind. If Meng Xuan hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been caught by the paper men at this time. And if the paper men could hold him for just a moment, Tu Jiao Jiao would surely make her move, which was extremely dangerous and frightening.

  "Whoosh..."

  Meng Xuan beheaded the rebellious sword and went out.

  With a "whoosh" sound, two paper men were immediately cut off at the waist by him. However, just then, another two paper men flew towards him.

  At the same time, there were footsteps behind him, and Tu Jiao also approached quietly, smiling slyly, attacking from both front and back.

  "Hey, young master, how dare you destroy my paper man? That was something my sister worked hard to create. You cut it down with one sword, I'm going to make you pay... But looking at your young age, you're quite handsome. Why don't you just stay here and let my sister turn you into a puppet too? Then you can follow me around every day, even when I take a bath, you won't have to hide. How about it?"

  Tú Jiāojiāo panted softly while wielding a wooden sword to launch a fierce attack on Meng Xuan.

  Her sword was made of wood, but with the infusion of true energy, it was surrounded by a yellow glow, extremely sharp and not to be underestimated.

  "Hmph, I've been underestimated by others, thinking I'm just a mediocre person?"

  Meng Xuanxin let out a cold snort, and without holding back, his true energy suddenly burst forth.

  "With a 'hiss' sound, a white light faintly appeared on top of his head, shooting straight up into the sky."

  At the same time, the sword energy of the Inverse Sword in his hand surged violently, and its speed also increased by several times.

  "Whoosh..."

  Two paper men who rushed up were directly shredded by his sword energy, and then the sword energy did not stop, instantly slashing towards Tu Jiao Jiao.

  "Not good, it's actually True Qi of the Eighth Level..."

  Tú Jiāo only shouted loudly, she was a true energy sixfold cultivator, plus her cunning and cleverness, ordinary people rarely outsmarted her. Many cultivators with higher cultivation levels than hers had fallen into her hands, so she usually looked down on others. However, she didn't expect that the young man in front of her, who looked several years younger than herself, would be a true energy eightfold cultivator, two levels higher than herself.

  After discovering this problem, how could she not be surprised?

  Two different levels of cultivation, fundamentally cannot be made up for by clever ideas or strategies, that is a chasm in terms of real power.

  "Oh no, it's terrible, the girl has fallen for you..."

  Tu Jiao faced Meng Xuan's astonishing sword, her face had turned pale, but she was still smiling. She knew that even if she used all her strength, she couldn't withstand his sword, so she didn't raise her sword to block it. Instead, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out a red bellyband, which she threw at Meng Xuan. The bellyband expanded in the wind and became as hard as steel, blocking Meng Xuan's sword.

  "Give it to me!"

  Meng Xuan let out a cold shout and swung his sword down, "Hiss" sound, the red cloak had already turned into pieces of cloth, flying all over the sky.

  "Do I look good?"

  After the red belly was split open by a sword, a thin layer of red mist suddenly appeared in front of Meng Xuan. As for Tu Jiao Jiao, she had already torn open her Taoist robe at some point, revealing a white and shiny deep valley on her chest, with two slender legs peeking out from under the hem of her robe. She looked dejected, pouting her small red mouth, seemingly scolding Meng Xuan with her eyes shining brightly.

  Seeing this scene, Meng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and the sword in his hand did not immediately chop down.

  "Do I look pretty?"

  Tú jiāo jiāo dīng zhe xiǎo zuǐ, sā zhe jiāo, màn màn tiē jìn le Mèng Xuān, yòu shǒu xì qī bái nèn, jìng rán xiàng Mèng Xuān xiǎo fù mō le guò lái.

  Between her right thumb and index finger was a slender silver needle, which would be invisible if one wasn't careful.

  A triumphant smile had already appeared at the corner of her mouth.

  Meng Xuan's eyes were dull and it was clear that he had already fallen for her trick.

  Just as the silver needle was about to pierce Meng Xuan, Meng Xuan suddenly sighed and said, "It's just average!"

  As he spoke, he swung his sword at her.

  "Huh?"

  Tú Jiāo's face was filled with shock and astonishment, this time it was truly astonishing.

  As soon as Meng Xuan's sword chopped to her front, she was greatly shocked. Suddenly, she pressed her chest and a yellow talisman flew out from the two soft mounds on her chest, blocking in front of her. She immediately turned around and fled.

  "Bang..."

  Meng Xuan's sword struck the yellow talisman, which emitted a brilliant golden light that blocked most of his sword energy.

  However, a part of the sword energy still landed on Tu Jiao Jiao's back, sending her tumbling to the ground before continuing its escape.

  "Really opened my eyes, with such a trick, you actually have the nerve to show it off?"

  Meng Xuan couldn't help but laugh and feel speechless at the same time.
