Yang Dingtian's brain was about to short-circuit.
What was this demonic woman, Dugu Fengwu, acting?
She called him big brother and even cried for help. She was chased by over a dozen ruffians and was almost defiled?
Where was the demeanor of a demonic woman?
These ruffians shouldn't even be enough to kill her little finger.
Could it be that this woman wasn't Dugu Fengwu?
But her eyes, her figure, and her voice were exactly the same.
Dugu Fengwu's voice, eyes, and figure left a deep and indelible impression in Yang Dingtian's mind.
Because no matter which one it was, this demonic woman was unmatched.
Of course, there was also the heart of a snake and scorpion. This demonic woman was also unmatched.
At this moment, the ruffians had already caught up and surrounded Dugu Fengwu.
"Hehe … Beauty, I have chased you for over a hundred miles. Let's see where you can run to now."
The one-eyed man's eyes shot out an evil light as he looked at Dugu Fengwu's devilish figure. His breathing was so heavy that it sounded like bellows as he said, "Since you appeared in front of me, I will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life if I let you slip away."
The one-eyed man continued, "However, I'm very self-aware. It's already a blessing for me to be able to possess a peerless beauty like you once. If I were to attempt to possess you for a long time, with my current strength, only death would await me.
I guarantee that in less than three days, someone will come to kill me and snatch you away.
Therefore, after everything is over, I will definitely dismember your corpse into ten thousand pieces. This way, no one will know. "
Once this statement was out, Dugu Fengwu's beautiful eyes instantly revealed an inconsolable expression. She then quietly hid behind Yang Dingtian.
After the one-eyed man finished speaking, he immediately rushed forward and extended his hand to grab Dugu Fengwu.
"Big Brother, save me, save me …" Dugu Fengwu hid behind Yang Dingtian. Her devilish figure was shivering as she grabbed onto Yang Dingtian's sleeve and pleaded with all her might.
The one-eyed man sneered and looked at Yang Dingtian. "Friend, I don't want to be a busybody. Obediently send the beauty over.
Although you won't be able to get a share when I sleep with Sleeping Beauty, you can watch from the side.
With such a peerless beauty, it's worth it even if you lose a year of your life just to take a look. "
Yang Dingtian was now completely confused. Could this woman really not be Dugu Fengwu?
Or was the demoness putting on an act to torment me?
Dugu Fengwu was so formidable, so how could she be humiliated by these hooligans?
Moreover, she was a demoness. She was indeed capable of doing anything.
Just as Yang Dingtian was puzzled, that one-eyed man grabbed Dugu Fengwu, who was hiding behind Yang Dingtian, and threw her to the ground.
"En …" That peerless woman groaned in pain, then crawled on the ground with all her might to escape.
The one-eyed man pounced on the woman and stretched out his hand, wanting to tear her clothes apart.
"Big brother, save me …" This woman immediately let out a hoarse cry for help. She looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes that were filled with pleading and despair.
"Do it!" Yang Dingtian ordered and pulled out his sharp sword.
It didn't matter if Dugu Fengwu was the demoness putting on an act, Yang Dingtian couldn't be bothered anymore.
If the woman in front of him wasn't Dugu Fengwu and was sullied by this one-eyed man, then Yang Dingtian wouldn't be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
That one-eyed man was shocked. His expression turned sinister as he said, "There really is a hero who isn't afraid of death when saving a beauty."
Finishing his statement, he pulled out a Ghost Head Saber and slashed at Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian's sword slashed down.
"Dang …" That one-eyed man's Ghost Head Saber suddenly broke into two and flew out.
Yang Dingtian's sword was still wet as it slashed that one-eyed man into two halves.
There was a miserable howl as fresh blood spurted out.
In fact, this one-eyed man had the strength of a 5-Star Mystic Martial Artist, but he was still instantly killed by Yang Dingtian.
At the same time, the remaining ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers pulled out their sharp swords and rushed towards the remaining villains with lightning speed.
In just a few seconds, the dozen or so villains were all killed, and not a single one escaped.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian dismounted from his horse and walked to that mysterious woman. He reached out his hand.
Although this woman's face was still covered, her beautiful eyes were filled with lingering fear. Her entire body was trembling, and a rich woman's fragrance assaulted Jiang Yi's senses.
This fragrance was exactly the same as that of the demoness Dugu Fengwu.
Yang Dingtian's hair stood on end. Could Dugu Fengwu really be putting on an act?
After that, Yang Dingtian looked at this woman on the ground with an extremely nervous expression.
She reached out her small hand and grabbed onto Yang Dingtian's hand, but her beautiful eyes were still filled with concern. It was as though she was afraid that Yang Dingtian would also unleash his bestial nature.
Yang Dingtian exerted a bit of strength and pulled her up from the ground. He then acted as though nothing had happened and said, "Young Lady, everything is fine now.
If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. I still have to hurry on with my journey. "
After that, Yang Dingtian mounted his horse and was about to leave with his brothers. It didn't matter if she was Dugu Fengwu or not, the further away they were, the better.
This demoness was truly too terrifying, and she was absolutely terrifying!
That woman was slightly stunned at first, but when she saw that Yang Dingtian didn't seem to be molesting her, her beautiful eyes relaxed a little. She then spoke with an anxious voice, "Mister, it is not safe for me to travel alone at night. Can I follow you for a while? Can you send me to the next town? I will wait there for my companions to find me."
Yang Dingtian's scalp instantly went numb. He really didn't want to agree.
"I beg you, I beg you …" That woman said with a trembling voice, "Otherwise, if a few more of these scoundrels come, I will really be in a life worse than death."
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, "Alright, but make it clear. We will only send you to the next town."
"Alright, thank you, Mister," that woman said.
She then came to the front of her mount and stretched out her long legs, wanting to step on the saddle. However, she couldn't do such a simple action. She couldn't lift her legs up no matter how hard she tried.
"Mister, you, you come and help me. My entire body is soft, and I can't get on the horse."
Yang Dingtian went forward and clamped her small waist, carrying her onto the saddle.
After that, Yang Dingtian carried her and continued on their journey, galloping towards the north.
The distance to the next town seemed to be really far. Yang Dingtian ran for a total of three hours and over two hundred miles, but he still didn't see the shadow of a town.
After running for another three hours, the sky was already bright, but there was still no sign of a town.
However, in these few hours, Yang Dingtian was completely sure that this woman wasn't Dugu Fengwu.
Because whether it was her speech, temperament, or expression, she was just like a child who had never seen the world.
Her words were filled with naivety and sorrow.
She really was like a pure and innocent child.
Perhaps her figure was the same, and her body fragrance was the same, but her temperament was completely different.
*****
"You don't have any martial arts, so why do you dare to run around the Chaotic Lands alone?
This is the most chaotic and dangerous place in the world. "Yang Dingtian said.
The woman was silent for a moment before saying, "This is my first time out, and I don't know anything about the outside world.
Originally, there were a dozen people following me to protect me, but last night, a dozen very powerful people suddenly intercepted them and started to kill them.
My guards kept those enemies busy while I ran for my life, saying that they would catch up to me in a while.
Thus, I rode my horse and ran as fast as I could. When I reached the town, I thought that I would be safe.
But who knew that not long after I fell asleep, the inn's waiter suddenly ran to me and told me to run quickly. He said that a dozen bad guys were going to molest and defile me.
Thus, I ran quickly.
Then, this group of bad guys caught up to me.
Then, I was saved by you … "
Then, the woman looked at Yang Dingtian and said seriously, "Thank you. Otherwise, even if I died, it would be a filthy death.
After I die, I will also sink into the eighteen layers of hell. "
"You're welcome." Yang Dingtian said.
"Young Master, there is a town ahead." Suddenly, one of the Black Blood Cavalry brothers in front said.
Yang Dingtian raised his head and looked. Indeed, there was a town a few miles ahead.
"Miss, we will part ways in the town in a while. Find a safe place and wait for your companions to find you." Yang Dingtian said.
That woman's beautiful eyes didn't have much joy. Instead, she seemed a little disappointed and nodded.
Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Then, what is your name?"
That woman's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of shyness as she said, "You, you can call me Shuang 'er."
Yang Dingtian originally wanted to ask her about her relationship with Dugu Fengwu, but he didn't. Because once he asked, it might bring about great danger in the future.
At this moment, there was a small river in front. The river water was so clear that the bottom could be seen.
That Shuang 'er cheered and ran over.
Yang Dingtian knitted his brows slightly and followed after her.
The situation here was complicated, and there might be danger at any moment. She was a weak woman who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken and couldn't go too far.
The Black Blood Cavalry brothers were guarding the entrance firmly.
After walking for over a hundred meters, Yang Dingtian saw Shuang 'er's back view under a remote bridge.
It seemed like being under the bridge gave her a sense of security.
When he was over ten meters away from her, Yang Dingtian stopped.
In front, Shuang 'er was already squatting by the river and seemed to be washing her face and drinking water.
She took off her veil first, then took off a mask.
It was this mask that made Yang Dingtian's body tremble. Dugu Fengwu also had such a mask.
But immediately after, he noticed that this mask was different from Dugu Fengwu's. This was a silver mask, while Dugu Fengwu's mask was golden.
After taking off the mask, Shuang 'er stared at the water surface as though she was looking at her own reflection. She didn't move for a long time and seemed to be completely intoxicated by her own beauty.
Yang Dingtian was curious if her face was exactly the same as Dugu Fengwu's.
But she should be intoxicated. Everyone in the world would be intoxicated by such a breathtaking beauty.
After staring at herself in the water for a moment, Shuang 'er started to lay down and used her small mouth to touch the river water.
Suddenly, Shuang 'er asked, "Mister, what do you think I look like?"
Yang Dingtian replied, "You should be the most beautiful woman in the world."
Shuang 'er continued, "You saved my life and talked to me so much along the way.
Do you know?
You are the person who has talked to me the most in my life.
Now, do you want to see my face and see how I look like? "
"Yes!" Yang Dingtian wanted to see if Shuang 'er's face was exactly the same as Dugu Fengwu's.
Shuang 'er stayed silent for a moment before she slowly turned around and openly revealed her face.
When Yang Dingtian saw this face, his body instantly shivered, and his eyes revealed a look of disbelief and astonishment.
It wasn't because she was too beautiful or because she looked the same as Dugu Fengwu.
On the contrary, it was a very strange and even frightening face.
This face had an extremely perfect outline. Be it the eyes, nose, mouth, or the entire shape of the face, they were all perfect. Furthermore, it was exactly the same as Dugu Fengwu's.
However, the skin on her face was filled with scales. The scales were fine and blue with a tinge of purple.
Her entire face was covered with scales, all the way to her neck. In short, everywhere that could be seen was covered with scales.
These scales looked like the scales of a mermaid, but they also looked like the scales of a snake.
Seeing Yang Dingtian's astonished expression, Shuang 'er smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, this is the same expression. Everyone has this expression when they see me.
My father, my maidservant, my servant.
Everyone looks as though they have seen a ghost when they see me … "
Instantly, Shuang 'er let out a despairing laugh and mocked, "Actually, Mister didn't have to save me just now. That scoundrel only had to tear open my clothes and see my appearance. He would definitely be scared out of his wits and run as far as he could. He would never want to touch me again.
Because every inch of my body is covered with these scales. "
"I knew it. Everyone is afraid of me and hates me. Everyone calls me a hag …"
As she spoke, Shuang 'er's tears fell.
Her face and her beautiful eyes were filled with despair.
"Do you know why I never went out before?
Because I was afraid that others would look at me as if they had seen a ghost. Not only did I frighten the people at home, I also frightened the people outside. "Shuang 'er said sadly.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian's heart was instantly filled with boundless sympathy and pity. He fixed his gaze on her face and spoke with a gentle voice, "Young Lady Shuang 'er, my astonished gaze earlier wasn't because I was frightened by you. It was because I felt that the heavens were too unfair to you.
He gave you the most beautiful eyes, the most moving figure, and the most beautiful voice. But he used a layer of scales to cover your most moving beauty. "
"You don't need to comfort me. You were just frightened by me." Shuang 'er said sadly.
"No, your appearance may scare others, but it won't scare me." Yang Dingtian said, "To tell you the truth, you may not believe it.
With your appearance, I even feel that there is a different kind of taste. I feel that it is very, very tempting. "
Yang Dingtian didn't lie. He really felt that way. He really didn't feel that it was scary. Instead, there was a special kind of taste.
"But, my whole body is covered with scales like this." Shuang 'er said, and then directly took off her cloak and skirt.
Sure enough, her whole body was covered with dense scales. It looked like a snake's, but also not.
It seemed to be purple, but also seemed to be green.
Yang Dingtian thought of a movie on Earth, "X-Men". The shapeshifting woman in the movie was also covered with scales.
The Shuang 'er in front of him and the shapeshifting woman were really similar.
However, compared to the shapeshifting woman, whether it was the figure, the outline of the face, or the pair of eyes, Shuang 'er was much more beautiful and moving.
Yang Dingtian didn't know how many hardcore movies he had seen on Earth, so when he saw the shapeshifting woman, he didn't feel very scared. Instead, he felt that it was quite sexy.
Therefore, the moment he saw her, Yang Dingtian's eyes suddenly lit up. He was just curious, not disgusted.
Seeing Yang Dingtian's gaze, Shuang 'er suddenly showed a trace of surprise, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
"Are you really not afraid of me? Are you disgusted by my appearance?"
Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, "Really!
But Miss Shuang 'er, you should wear it properly. You are too moving. "
Suddenly, Shuang 'er recovered her shyness. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Dingtian with a different kind of taste. She said softly, "You are the first person who is not afraid of me. I am really happy. Thank you very much."
Yang Dingtian smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
"I have never left home before. Do you know why I came out this time?" Shuang 'er said, and then put on her dress and cloak, covering her whole body tightly.
Yang Dingtian shook his head.
"Because I'm about to die, I won't be able to live for long. I don't want to die without seeing the outside world." Shuang 'er said softly, "Being able to see you this time is already enough for me."
Yang Dingtian was stunned and said in surprise, "Why?"
"Because there is a kind of poison in my body that no one can cure." Shuang 'er said, "However, I am not afraid of death at all. Instead, I feel that it is a kind of relief.
Because I have no Xuan Qi, and I look so strange.
I'd rather be dead than alive. "
"You are talking nonsense."
Yang Dingtian said loudly, "You have a lot of meaning in life. You can draw, you can sing, you can write stories, you can sculpt. Who knows how many things you can do?"
"Sing?" Shuang 'er's beautiful eyes lit up, "You, you can sing?"
Yang Dingtian was stunned, and then nodded.
"Then sing for me. Just once, okay?" Shuang 'er said.
"Okay." Yang Dingtian hesitated a little, and then nodded.
Singing was a very awkward and pretentious act, but he couldn't refuse at this time.
Shuang 'er ran to Yang Dingtian's side and sat on the grass.
Yang Dingtian dismounted and also sat on the grass.
The horse casually squatted down and leisurely ate the grass.
Yang Dingtian thought for a while, looked at the pitiful girl who was about to die, and sang:
Pinching a smiling flower
Thinking about the changes in the world
In the end, what does it matter if you win or lose
The sun and the moon grow and fade
Wealth and nobility cannot last long
This morning's appearance is older than last night
The space between the eyebrows is wider
Looking at the scenery of the world
Who doesn't taste sorrow and joy
The sea can't be finished
*****
He sang "Two Forgetting Each Other" from Earth. He felt that this song was very beautiful, and his singing was not bad.
Although, this was a song sung by a woman.
But because of the feelings in his heart, Yang Dingtian sang really well at this time, and it was very pleasant to listen to.
Shuang 'er listened very carefully, liked it very much, and was even a little fascinated.
Of course, Yang Dingtian didn't sing so well.
She was fascinated that someone was singing for her.
As Yang Dingtian sang, Shuang 'er sat next to him, quietly listening. Then she slightly tilted her head and gently leaned on Yang Dingtian's shoulder.
The posture was somewhat intimate, but it was very natural, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.
The space between the eyebrows is wider
Looking at the scenery of the world
Who doesn't taste sorrow and joy
The sea can't be finished
Gratitude and grudges are hard to calculate
Yesterday should not be forgotten today
The waves surge, the people are insignificant, the birds of youth fly away
Even if the ancient wind roams in the wind
Yang Dingtian was still singing, and the more he sang, the better he got. Shuang 'er listened very seriously, very intoxicated.
On the other side of the river, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard.
Ten-some gloomy experts wearing black cloaks, riding huge warhorses, were like a gust of wind, stepping on the river, swift and fierce.
The leader of the group was a tall woman with a cold gaze.
These ten-some people all had very high cultivations, and each of them had a bloodthirsty aura, and each of them had a chilling gaze.
A blood-red bat was embroidered on each of their cloaks.
Yang Dingtian was still singing, as if he didn't see this group of people coming.
… …
The sea can't be finished
Gratitude and grudges are hard to calculate
Yesterday should not be forgotten today
… …
These ten-some people arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Yang Dingtian had officially finished singing.
The gloomy woman in the lead suddenly reached out, grabbed Shuang 'er's arm, and directly lifted her onto the horse in front of her.
Then, she suddenly pulled out a sinister sword, and was about to chop off Yang Dingtian's head.
Not far away, ten-some Black Blood Cavalry brothers were crazily rushing over.
"Black Phoenix, if you kill him, I will die!" Shuang 'er said quietly.
The woman called Black Phoenix coldly stared at Yang Dingtian for a while, then suddenly turned her horse around and galloped away.
Suddenly, the ten-some black-cloaked experts left on the river like the wind.
"Brother, what's your name?" Suddenly, Shuang 'er, who was being taken away, shouted loudly.
"Yan Nantian!" Yang Dingtian shouted.
"I will remember you until I die," Shuang 'er shouted.
"Don't die, live well," Yang Dingtian shouted.
Then, the dozen black-cloaked knights disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
*****
After arriving at the town, Yang Dingtian changed horses, and then madly rushed without rest, covering more than a thousand miles in a day.
Thirty hours later, he arrived at the edge of the Netherworld Swamp.
"All of you, wait here for my return," Yang Dingtian said to the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers.
"Yes!" The ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers replied in unison.
This was something Yang Dingtian had decided long ago, because there were no people or demonic beasts in the Netherworld Swamp.
As for Poison Hands Devil, it was useless to bring the Black Blood Cavalry brothers in.
Yang Dingtian dismounted. In front of him was the Netherworld Swamp, a thousand miles of no man's land.
There was a clear boundary between the Netherworld Swamp and the land. On this side was the hard and flat land, and on the other side was the gloomy and putrid Rotten Water Swamp.
At a glance, it was as if there were two different worlds.
The entire swamp was shrouded in a gloomy fog and a putrid smell.
Yang Dingtian swallowed an elixir, took a deep breath, and stepped into the swamp.
He was very careful, because there were quagmires everywhere.
However, Yang Dingtian had already swallowed a special elixir and a Water Repelling Pearl, so there was no danger. He only needed to be careful.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
… …
Five hours.
Yang Dingtian carefully walked into the depths of the swamp.
The whole world was deathly silent, and only the sound of Yang Dingtian stepping into the mud could be heard.
It was as if Yang Dingtian was the only person in the whole world. This kind of loneliness, after a long time, would definitely drive one crazy.
At this time, the sky was already dark.
However, the visibility was better than during the day, because the water above the quagmires emitted a faint green light. Although it was very disgusting, it did bring some light.
Moreover, there were green will-o '-the-wisps on the water's surface.
Yang Dingtian used these green lights and will-o '-the-wisps to continue deeper.
Two hours later, Yang Dingtian arrived at the deepest part of the Netherworld Swamp.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian smelled a nauseating smell. It was the smell of death and evil, a smell that made one tremble in fear.
Yang Dingtian knew!
He was about to arrive at Poison Hands Devil's cave.

I will continue to work hard to write the second chapter, but it will be a bit late.
The results of the monthly votes made my mood extremely low today, but so what, I still have to work harder to write!
