The next moment.
A golden light shot out from the little demon girl's embrace and slammed hard into the Soul Refining Puppet's chest.
The Soul Refining Puppet's blade stopped an inch from the little demon girl's chest, frozen in place.
Yao Daomei then saw clearly that it was a golden talisman.
Although she couldn't understand what kind of talisman it was, it looked incredibly impressive.
As wisps of green smoke arose, the ferocious Soul Refining Puppet melted away!
Yao Daomei's sword-holding hand trembled instantly!
She had been too careless!
She hadn't expected this woman to have so many treasures!
No, she had to do something to salvage this!
Following that, Yao Daomei respectfully flew over, stopping ten feet away from the little demon girl.
"Senior, your sword." Yao Daomei respectfully held out the sword with both hands, lowering her head to hide her inner fear.
"Thank you." The little demon girl beckoned, and the precious sword flew back into her hand.
"Wait." The little demon girl seemed to have thought of something, looking at Yao Daomei with a suspicious expression: "You weren't planning to steal my sword and run away just now, were you?"
"Senior misunderstands!" Yao Daomei quickly explained, "I just saw the situation was dangerous and wanted to hand the sword back to you!"
"Is that so..." The little demon girl nodded. "I was overthinking things, I'm sorry."
"No, no..." Yao Daomei breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this woman was simple-minded, and she managed to fool her...
On the ground beside them were the bloody remains of Ye Fan.
The little demon girl glanced at them with disgust, then looked away.
The three of them then proceeded directly to the main tomb chamber.
The main tomb chamber was not large, only about thirty feet in area.
There were no furnishings or burial objects inside, only the coffin against the wall opposite the entrance.
However, that coffin was placed upright.
"Creak creak—!" The arrival of the three seemed to have triggered something, and the coffin lid opened like a door.
A withered figure slowly emerged from the coffin.
To be precise, it was a skeleton.
The armor on the skeleton was tattered and worn from the corrosion of time.
The crown on its head seemed to speak of its distinguished status in life.
"Clang!"
The skeleton drew its sword, and dark red light flickered incessantly in its eyes.
"Criminals who disturb my eternal slumber," the skeleton's hoarse voice echoed, "In my name, I bestow upon you death!"
Then, the skeleton transformed into a beam of light and shot towards the three of them!
"Careful!"
By the time Yao Daomei and the others heard the commotion, the little demon girl was already locked in combat with the skeleton.
Their speeds grew increasingly faster, eventually turning into two entangled streams of light.
The residual shockwaves alone were enough to pin Yao Daomei and the other two down, unable to move!
Too terrifying!
So that woman had indeed been hiding her strength before!
Fortunately, she had made amends in time, or she would be finished now...
It was unclear what material this tomb chamber was made of, as it remained undamaged by their attacks.
However, judging from the bloodstains occasionally sprayed from the air, the little demon girl seemed to be in a less than favorable situation.
After all, a skeleton would not bleed...
And the subsequent developments confirmed Yao Daomei's conjecture.
The little demon girl repeatedly used various treasures, yet still could not change her disadvantageous situation.
A quarter of an hour later.
The little demon girl was sent flying by a sword strike, once again scattering large amounts of blood.
Her face was almost devoid of color, clearly at the end of her strength.
However, the little demon girl calmly took out a jade bracelet from her embrace and threw it towards the skeleton.
A miracle then occurred.
The jade bracelet stopped a foot above the skeleton's head, emitting a purple light that enveloped the skeleton.
The skeleton seemed furious, repeatedly hacking at the purple cage with its sword.
But no matter how it struggled, it was in vain.
Moreover, as time passed, its body actually began to be corroded by the purple light.
"Fellow Daoists..." the little demon girl weakly took out a jade pendant, "Drip your vital blood onto... the jade pendant, and place the jade pendant on its forehead... to destroy it. I am currently unable to move, so I'll have to trouble you two..."
As she spoke, the little demon girl coughed up several large mouthfuls of blood.
Yao Daomei quickly forced out a drop of vital blood and then walked towards the skeleton with the jade pendant.
What happened next was just as the little demon girl had said; the skeleton was quickly dispatched by the jade pendant.
The jade bracelet in the air seemed to have lost its support and began to fall towards the ground.
Yao Daomei, with quick reflexes, caught the jade bracelet.
Then, Yao Daomei returned to the little demon girl with the jade bracelet and jade pendant.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist..." the little demon girl weakly extended her hand, intending to take them.
"No rush." Yao Daomei chuckled, and a ball of true energy condensed in his palm.
"Fellow Daoist, you..." the little demon girl looked at him with confusion.
"Senior, you seem to be on your last legs now, don't you?" Yao Daomei completely dropped his pretense. "How about we make a deal? Hand over your ring to me."
"What do you mean?" the little demon girl asked in panic. "Don't tell me... you... you're going to take advantage of my weakness and rob me?"
"Congratulations, you guessed correctly!" Yao Daomei raised his hand and pointed at the little demon girl. "Obediently erase the spiritual mark on your ring, and I might consider sparing your life. Otherwise... hmph!"
The little demon girl dared not delay, quickly erasing the spiritual mark on the ring. Da Feng Novel Network
"Can I go now..." the little demon girl handed over the ring, weakly asking.
"It's not impossible to let you go," Yao Daomei grabbed the little demon girl's hand, a wicked gleam in his eyes. "But not now!"
He was ecstatic!
Not only had he successfully taken the little demon girl's ring, but the little demon girl herself had also become his as a 'furnace'.
If he took her back and utilized her properly, his cultivation would soar!
Once she was no longer useful, he would naturally let the little demon girl go.
However, whether she lived or died by then was another matter.
Inside the main tomb chamber.
Yao Daomei and Elder Liang Tou walked towards the upright coffin, both grinning foolishly.
The little demon girl, holding Ye Fan's arm, watched with a smile.
That's right.
Everything that had just happened was merely an illusion experienced by Yao Daomei and Liang Tou.
Or rather, it was the illusion the little demon girl wanted them to see.
"You said you wanted to show off earlier, why did you change your mind?" Ye Fan asked with a darkened expression.
"I just suddenly felt like this was also quite fun, hehe." The little demon girl chuckled.
Ye Fan sighed silently.
As expected...
No matter who it was, after interacting with the dog system for too long, they started to become abnormal...
"The senior just now said that only the blood of a cultivator could awaken that skeletal frame," the little demon girl continued. "I was afraid of pain, so I had to let those two go."
In response, Ye Fan rolled his eyes at her.
He didn't believe a word she said!
He suspected she had simply grown tired of playing and was preparing to get rid of these two cannon fodder.
Pah!
What a slut!
