"You …" The boy's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, "Why …"
"No reason."
The girl in the red hood smiled innocently, her crescent moon-like eyes looking at him seriously, "You're already useless, I'll keep your corpse talisman for you. Although you're very good to me, who told you to already be useless …" Her expression was a little bitter, but her hands didn't have the slightest bit of softness. She forcefully pulled, and pulled out a bloody, paper-like talisman seal from the boy's stomach.
The boy's body trembled, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed, and his body powerlessly fell to the ground below.
The girl in the red hood didn't even look at it. Her smiling eyes were a little scorching, looking at the bloody, paper-like talisman in her hand, "I don't know how it tastes, if I swallow it, then I'll be considered a level three corpse seal."
She licked her lips, then opened her mouth, raised the corpse talisman, and put it into her mouth, swallowing it inch by inch.
The world suddenly became silent.
All the clamor and sounds of the fierce battle retreated extremely far away.
A strong, needle-like golden light radiated from the girl in the red hood. Her white jade-like skin overflowed with light, wave after wave of water light rippled out from her body.
Unknowingly, the sky above her head had already darkened. The dark clouds in all directions were attracted to her like a magnet. The clouds collided with each other, emitting rumbling thunder and bright purple lightning.
Zhuge Fan's pupils slightly contracted, the hand holding the sword felt as if it was pricked by a needle, raising a layer of fine goosebumps.
A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, and quickly flashed away, appearing in front of the Empress, guarding against the girl in the red hood.
The clothes of the girl in the red hood fluttered without wind, filled with fierce wind, like weightless feathers flipping.
She stared at Zhuge Fan and the remaining four guards, as well as the Empress who was standing in the middle, and giggled innocently. "It seems like all of you are about to die. My strength is not something you can resist. How should I kill all of you?"
She frowned her pretty little eyebrows, seriously thinking, as if this was a very serious question.
"Damn monster."
Another black-haired guard beside Zhuge Fan gnashed his teeth as he stared at the girl in the red hood. "How dare you kill your own companion? You're even more despicable than that boy!"
"Oh?" The girl in the red hood raised her eyebrows. These words had actually entered her ears. "Is that so?"
The air rippled like liquid.
Zhuge Fan had an illusion that something was rubbing against his skin. When he frowned, his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw that the head of the black-haired guard who was talking beside him had suddenly disappeared. A diamond-shaped hole was pulled out of thin air, and his head fell into it. Then, it disappeared, as if he had been brought into another space.
The headless corpse was still standing, but thick, steaming blood was flowing out of its neck.
Then, with a whoosh, the corpse fell to the ground below.
When everyone saw this horrifying scene, they felt as if their stomachs were being caressed by a cold hand, and they felt like vomiting.
However, no one went to catch the falling corpse.
This was because everyone felt that there was an invisible steel wire hanging on their necks. It was as if if they were distracted for a moment, their heads would be cut off as well.
However, Zhuge Fan cried out in grief and indignation. He grabbed with his hand, and the air suddenly became sticky like a spider's web. He caught the falling corpse and retrieved it, and it fell into Zhuge Fan's hands.
"Rosen, Rosen …" Zhuge Fan hugged the headless corpse, and hot tears flowed out of his eyes as he anxiously and sorrowfully shouted.
However, he had only said two sentences when his neck suddenly went numb. Then, his mouth moved, but he could not say a word. Moreover, the world in front of him slid diagonally inch by inch.
A small cut appeared on his neck, and his head slid down along the cut and fell on the chest of the corpse that he was hugging tightly. After that, the corpse lost all its strength and fell straight down.
"Aiya …" The girl in the red hood shrugged her shoulders and looked innocently at the pale faces of the empress and the rest. "I didn't do it on purpose. He revealed too many flaws, and I couldn't control myself and accidentally made a move.
You guys won't blame me, right? "
She blinked her gem-like eyes and looked at the empress and the rest.
Everyone looked as if they had seen the most terrifying and frightening monster. They had the urge to vomit and run away, and the muscles on their faces twitched. However, their rich experience made them know that if they turned around and ran now, they would only die faster.
The only thing they could do was to stay still and wait!
The empress took a deep breath and looked calmly at the girl in the red hood. Her slender fingers that were holding the sword were white, and her nails were digging into the flesh of her palms.
Among the few bodyguards around her, the one that she was closest to and admired the most was Zhuge Fan!
Anger and murderous intent surged in her heart, but on the surface, she was as calm as water, as if she was not moved at all. She looked at the girl in the red hood without blinking. Suddenly, she heard a loud roar not far away, and her heart sank. Her eyes moved slightly and quickly glanced at the direction of the roar.
She saw the burly man and the handsome young man colliding. Both of them were evenly matched, and neither of them was at a disadvantage. However, the burly man seemed to be more durable, and his attacks were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, constantly pouncing on his opponent.
On the other hand, the handsome young man was like an elegant ghost, dodging left and right, and did not face the attack head-on.
"Where are you looking?"
A giggling voice suddenly pulled her back to reality. Before she could regain her senses, she suddenly quivered, and an intense pain appeared on her left arm. Then, she felt a cold feeling coming from below her shoulder. Looking down, blood was gushing out. The arm that was wrapped in an exquisite robe was cut off, and it fell to the ground against the wind.
The empress's face was pale. Looking up, she saw the girl in the red hood still looking at her with a smile, and her innocent eyes were filled with concern. "Does it hurt?"
The empress endured the pain and snorted coldly. She circulated the energy in her body to stimulate the vitality of her body. The blood vessels and veins in the flesh of the left arm were like countless twisted steel wires, and quickly intertwined with each other, growing new flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, a new arm grew. The skin was pale and delicate, as smooth as mutton fat, but it was missing a sleeve.
The girl in the red hood pouted. "It actually grew, and it's not fun at all. I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore, hmph!"
She snorted angrily, but her appearance was indescribably cute. However, the faces of the empress and the three bodyguards beside her instantly darkened, and they clenched the weapons in their hands tightly.
Whoosh!
Like a flash of light, there was a flash.
The girl in the red hood appeared in front of the three bodyguards beside the empress, and hung on their chests. Her soft cheeks were suffused with a cold luster. Her arm suddenly pierced through the chest of the bodyguard in front of her, who was in a daze and didn't have time to react.
The two bodyguards and the empress quickly regained their senses, and in an instant, three magical swords whizzed down and slashed towards the girl in the red hood.
Each sword contained all the strength of the wielder, and the momentum was fierce and heavy. In an instant, they actually slashed the girl in the red hood.
Before the three bodyguards had time to rejoice, their faces suddenly changed. They saw that the girl in the red hood, who was slashed, actually dissipated like smoke.
"Little —" The empress suddenly spoke, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stopped.
Behind one of the bodyguards, the girl in the red hood instantly appeared. Her white jade-like hands were like the sharpest weapons, and with just one grab, she pierced through the back of that bodyguard and broke his spine. Then, her body flashed again, and before the afterimage of her original position disappeared, she appeared on top of another bodyguard's head. Her bare feet stomped down on the head of this bodyguard, and immediately, this person's hard skull was crushed. A pool of blood spurted out and splattered on her red hood.
In the blink of an eye, she killed the three valiant bodyguards.
The empress was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She stared blankly at the girl in the red hood who swung her hands and feet. The sticky blood on them was actually easily flung away, and not a single drop of blood stained them. Her skin was actually so smooth that it was as if it was carved out of exquisite porcelain.
"So weak."
The girl in the red hood pouted, then raised her head and innocently and expectantly looked at the empress. "Now, what are you going to do? It seems that they can't protect you."
The empress's hand that was holding the sword was trembling. Suddenly, she brandished the sword and rushed toward the girl in the red hood. A purple light shot out from the sword. She took a step forward, and the void under her feet rippled like water, spreading out into the air.
The surrounding world suddenly seemed to become pitch black, enveloping the girl in the red hood and herself in it.
"Darkness, ultimate kill!"
The empress clenched her teeth and pinched her fingers together to form a seal. The divine sword in her hand suddenly disappeared and turned into countless silver sword rays that swept toward the girl in the red hood. They formed a silver light that wrapped around the girl in the red hood and attacked her non-stop.
The girl in the red hood didn't panic, nor did she resist. She just smiled and looked at the empress.
After all the silver sword rays reached three feet in front of her, they were blocked by an invisible wall and shattered into pieces.
The empress's face was pale. The great humiliation in her heart was like a hot knife that cut her heart.
She bit her lower lip tightly and stared at the girl in the red hood. Suddenly, she closed her eyes, reached out to her mouth, and bit her thumb. Then, she quickly wiped the blood on her forehead. Her eyes suddenly opened and shot out a sharp cold light. She shouted, "Rock of Light!"
Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar sounded in the dark world, as if rushing from a distant direction. The sound wave gradually increased until it was deafening.
A ray of extreme golden light shot out at an indescribable speed. In an instant, it shot between the girl's eyebrows.
Then, it froze.
The golden light was like an arrow, trembling non-stop, but it couldn't move forward even half an inch.
On the forehead of the girl in the red hood, there seemed to be a layer of transparent enchantment that blocked this fierce attack.
The girl in the red hood seemed to be slightly shocked. Her tightened pupils slightly relaxed, and then she smiled gently. "Good, very good."
She flicked her finger.
A stormy wave of wind was set off all around.
Bang — —
The dark world suddenly shattered, and the sky outside was revealed.
"Die."
The cold voice of the girl in the red hood was like the final judgment. Her finger pointed at the empress, and the air at the tip of her finger started to distort. Waves of terrifying energy waves came from there. After a while, all the distorted space suddenly condensed and solidified, forming a translucent small sword.
Whoosh!
It shot out fiercely!
Almost at the same time, there was a sudden bang. The body of the girl in the red hood was hit by a black shadow, and the direction of her finger deviated.
