Seeing this, Mu Anxiao deliberately said, "You don't even dare to get close to me, yet you want to execute me. How… laughable." As she spoke, she began searching for the female monster's weak points.
As expected, the moment Mu Anxiao spoke, the female monster raised her head and stared at Mu Anxiao opposite her. "Provoking me like this will do you no good." Beams of light began to emanate from her hands.
Mu Anxiao witnessed this scene clearly. To stall for time and distract the female monster, she braced herself and continued to provoke her. "You say you get more excited the more I resist. Hmm, conversely," she laughed, "I love it when you get excited. Only when you're excited do I know how to mess with you. Tsk tsk, your demon power isn't that great."
"What my demon power is like has nothing to do with you. You just need to know that your death is imminent," the female monster said, suddenly turning her back.
However, Mu Anxiao had not anticipated this reaction from the female monster. Immediately, she deliberately said, "What are you doing?" She was ready to cut the white ribbons.
"Shut up," the female monster said, closing her eyes to prevent interference.
Mu Anxiao chuckled, "I won't shut up. What, have you thought of a way to deliver a fatal blow?"
"Say one more word and I'll sew your mouth shut," the female monster threatened without turning her head, intending to scare Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao laughed, "If you sew my mouth shut, then when you possess my body, you won't have a mouth either." She had already sensed the female monster's impatience.
"Say one more word and I'll make you experience all sorts of pain," the female monster said, completely lost in her words.
To this, Mu Anxiao burst into laughter.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's laughter, the female monster did not get angry; instead, she let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, Mu Anxiao, still laughing, quickly rolled her upper body, throwing her dagger towards the white ribbons… Following that, the dagger spun rapidly, cutting the white ribbons one by one, while Mu Anxiao flipped into the air and landed steadily on the ground. "Come back," she said, catching the dagger with her raised hand.
At the sound, the female monster's body stiffened. She quickly withdrew her demonic power and turned to look at the white ribbons floating in mid-air, murmuring in disbelief, "How could this be?" She then looked down, frowning, "Mu Anxiao, this is your doing."
"I've encountered countless monsters. To be honest," Mu Anxiao said calmly, hands on her hips, "I've never seen one like you before."
"If you have the guts, stand there and don't move," the female monster said, about to fly towards Mu Anxiao.
Conversely, Mu Anxiao sneered, "Only a fool would listen to you." With that, she quickly ran towards the cave.
Subsequently, the completely unwilling-to-admit-defeat female monster chased after Mu Anxiao.
In a blink of an eye, Mu Anxiao and the female monster stopped in the bamboo forest behind the cave. "As expected of a female monster, you know how to find a place," she said, turning around and staring at the panting female monster opposite her.
"Mu Anxiao, I will not let you go," the female monster said, spreading her hands to manifest the white ribbons.
A gentle breeze stirred, and Mu Anxiao smiled. "I never fall in the same place twice. You're truly laughable." As she spoke, she quickly threw her dagger towards the white ribbons.
Then, just like before, the dagger spun rapidly, severing the white ribbons one by one.
Watching this scene, Mu Anxiao placed her hands on her hips and laughed, "Well done, dagger." As she said this, her expression froze, and she quickly dodged the female monster's sudden sneak attack.
"Damn it," the female monster muttered, retracting her hand and continuing to lunge her claws at Mu Anxiao.
Thus, Mu Anxiao began fighting the female monster without the advantage.
A few minutes later.
Mu Anxiao kicked away the female monster's single hand and was about to jump to catch her dagger when the female monster quickly controlled the dagger in mid-air with her claws. Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly turned her head to look at the female monster, thinking that she had no choice but to use magic again.
With that thought, she quickly conjured a rope…
The female monster watched Mu Anxiao's actions while controlling the dagger, and laughed. "Using magic now, I see you still fear Ouyang Ye?" she said, a smile curving her lips as she extended her other claw towards Mu Anxiao.
Unfazed, Mu Anxiao calmly transformed the instantly branching rope into a fishing net. "I'm not afraid of him," she said, her gaze fixed as the 'fishing net' flew towards the female monster.
"Just these paltry tricks," the female monster said, lightly waving her hand, and the net snapped.
"Damn it," Mu Anxiao exclaimed, only then realizing that some magic couldn't be used in this place.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's reaction, the female monster laughed. "It seems you must accept your destiny," she said, glancing down at her claws. "Die, Mu Anxiao." As she spoke, her gaze sharpened, and she clenched the hand raised above her head, causing the dagger to fall heavily onto the ground.
At this moment, Mu Anxiao was utterly helpless.
Not far away.
The moment Mu Anxiao used her spiritual energy again, Ouyang Ye stopped before the barrier protecting Jiongye. "It's you," he said, looking at Jiongye.
Upon hearing this, Jiongye quickly looked up at Ouyang Ye's face and smiled. "Master, you've finally arrived."
"Where is Mu Anxiao?" Ouyang Ye asked anxiously.
Jiongye pouted. "Mu Anxiao was captured by that nameless female monster. Master, please hurry and save Mu Anxiao."
"This was set up by Mu Anxiao," Ouyang Ye said calmly.
"Yes," Jiongye nodded, pointing to his hair. "Master, you must not move, or you'll end up like me."
"I know," Ouyang Ye said, turning his back and looking in the direction of Mu Anxiao. "The spiritual energy is coming from over there."
"Master, hurry and save her," Jiongye urged anxiously.
"Stay here and don't move," Ouyang Ye said… A dark shadow suddenly streaked past him, and he looked, frowning. "What is that?" he asked, turning back to look at Jiongye.
Jiongye's eyes darkened. "It's the Demon Sword… no, it's the Soul Sword."
"Soul Sword…" Ouyang Ye repeated, turning back… and leaving.
Over there.
Under the "pressure" of the female monster, Mu Anxiao sat back on the ground. "Taking my life will do you no good."
"Good? Humph," the female monster said with a bitter smile. "I don't care about such things. I only care about whether I'm happy or not."
"Aren't you afraid of Ouyang Ye?" Mu Anxiao deliberately asked.
The female monster's lips curled. "Afraid? He has forgotten even me, so why should I fear him? However," she narrowed her eyes, "I am curious. If I were to find him using your appearance, what would his reaction be?"
