Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Meeting an Enemy Makes One’s Eyes Red with Rage

"Pu!"

It was only a moment.

Seven fox tails pierced straight through her shriveled body.

Along with her bloated puppet that protected her, it too was torn to shreds.

"Death is too easy for you!"

Ning Mengyao hadn’t expected everything to go so smoothly.

Her sneak attack had instantly killed her.

Although there was some disappointment in her heart, she still controlled the fox tails to drag out Beitiao Qian Naizi’s corpse.

Looking at that emaciated form, she couldn’t help but curl her lips in disdain.

She had wanted to have a proper fight with her, but out of necessity, she had still had to deliver a ruthless blow.

"Meng Yao, be careful!"

But before she could revel in her success, Xu Zhi Rou’s voice came through.

At the same time, she lunged forward, directly grabbing her waist and throwing them both to the side.

"Bang!"

Almost at the same moment, the spot where they had just stood became shrouded in dust.

A massive explosion echoed throughout the vast space.

"What’s happened?"

Regaining her senses from the confusion, Ning Mengyao looked at the two strong men standing there.

Now, they no longer looked as they had before.

Their bodies were covered in dark red runes.

The terrifying murderous intent was so intense that even she shuddered uncontrollably.

But supposedly, Beitiao Qian Naizi had already been slain by her.

Why could the puppet still attack uncontrollably?

And just then, the corpse dressed in fiery red bridal attire floating in midair suddenly spoke.

"So it’s you. I didn’t expect that in just a few days, your strength would increase so much!"

"You... you are Beitiao Qian Naizi!"

Ning Mengyao finally realized it.

This person had actually seized control of that corpse.

In other words, she had now become Beitiao Qian Naizi.

"Please call me Drought Qian Naizi, I like this name!"

Beitiao Qian Naizi slowly raised her hands, looking at her newly acquired body.

She had finally obtained the body of Drought, which made her feel as if she were dreaming.

"Nonsense, do you think by changing your skin you can cover up your ugly soul? No matter the guise, your disgusting essence remains the same, and you will always be that ugly, bald freak!"

Ning Mengyao, rising in anger, glared fiercely at Beitiao Qian Naizi.

It was her own carelessness that had given her the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

This added yet another grudge between them.

"How dare you call me ugly!"

Hearing this word, a flash of hatred crossed Beitiao Qian Naizi’s face.

Clearly, she had an innate repulsion toward her previous body.

That was why she had always been desperately trying to find a beautiful body to inhabit.

Moreover, this body had to be one of Heavenly Essence and Earthly Treasure, capable of containing her ferocious power.

Now, she had finally found it and successfully taken possession.

This filled her with an indescribable excitement.

"You were a hideous ghost to begin with, and even after changing your skin, you still reek of your scum nature. You will forever be that ugly, blotchy monster!"

Ning Mengyao, seething with rage, glared at Beitiao Qian Naizi.

Meanwhile, her seven fox tails shredded what was once her body, then returned behind her.

Today, she wanted to properly measure herself against her foe.

"Such a venomous mouth, I’ll see to it that I tear it apart today!"

Hating others for attacking her appearance the most, Beitiao Qian Naizi didn’t waste any more words.

The eight puppets howled as they flew toward Ning Mengyao.

At this moment, they had transformed into demon weapons.

Whether it was strength, speed, or defensive power, they had all undergone a qualitative change.

"As if you were worthy!"

Ning Mengyao didn’t slack off either, as seven fox tails flew out simultaneously.

She stood her ground against the opponent’s attacks.

At the same time, her hands transformed into sharp claws, and with each casual swipe, gusts of wind burst forth.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of explosive sounds erupted between the two combatants.

From the get-go, they were fighting with all their might, with neither side willing to give in.

The battle between the eight puppets and the seven fox tails was evenly matched, resulting in a tie.

This forced Beitiao Qian Naizi to take the fight seriously.

"Little girl, do you really think you can stand against me with just that? Today, I’ll show you the true power of the Drought demoness!"

With her roar,

the curse masters who were previously immobilized began to move, attacking from all sides.

This time, she had summoned the strength she would use to combat the Drought demoness.

Seeing the curse masters swarm her, Ning Mengyao realized the trouble she was in.

Those puppets were completely under Beitiao Qian Naizi’s control.

So even if she had enchanted their minds, their bodies would still attack her.

And the eight puppets had already pushed her to her limits.

With more adversaries joining in, she definitely wouldn’t be able to handle them all.

"I’m here to help you!"

Just then, Xu Zhi Rou rushed to join the fray.

Wielding two demonic blades, she stimulated all the power within her body.

A coldness spread from her entire being.

Following that, waves of Sword Qi slashed towards the curse masters.

Having absorbed the power from over a dozen demonic blades upon entering, Xu Zhi Rou was exceptionally vigorous.

Moreover, she had an innate ability to absorb demonic energy.

So to her, the approaching assailants were not killers but benefactors bringing her power.

"Clang clang clang..."

Thus, a fierce battle commenced amidst the chaos.

Ning Mengyao and Xu Zhi Rou cooperated with each other, taking on Beitiao Qian Naizi head-to-head.

However, Lin Fan showed no intention of joining the battle.

Since it began, he had been assessing the likely outcome of the fight.

Eventually, he came to a conclusion, so there was no need for him to exert himself anymore.

It made more sense to seize this opportunity to examine the twelve huge sculptures.

After all, the real Drought corpse was probably hiding somewhere.

If he could find the mechanism, he would be able to face his old adversary.

"This is... the twelve zodiac animals!"

Lin Fan’s gaze circled around, and he started to grasp some understanding.

The sculptures seemed to have identical positions, yet there were numerous subtle differences.

And the number twelve made Lin Fan think of the second Earthly Branch in the study of Yi Jing.

So next, he had to figure out which statue represented a particular zodiac animal or Earthly Branch.

As time ticked away, the battle continued to rage fiercely.

With each curse master falling into a pool of blood, Xu Zhi Rou’s situation had significantly improved.

But things didn’t look optimistic for Ning Mengyao.

As an expert in Bewitching Technique, physical combat wasn’t her forte.

So this head-on clash was quite disadvantageous for her.

And this imbalance grew worse as time went on.

Falling behind, she was forced to retract her fox tails, using them to shield herself from harm.

"Die!"

Seeing Ning Mengyao’s failing strength, Beitiao Qian Naizi revealed a sinister smile.

At the same time, she deployed her ultimate move, her ninth puppet.

The seemingly shattered woodchips from earlier had now engulfed Ning Mengyao.

As Beitiao Qian Naizi’s thoughts shifted, the woodchips suddenly rose from the ground, forming a new puppet that lunged at Ning Mengyao.
