Chapter 133 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (2)

With another wave of her sleeve, dust obscured the scene.

System 168 hesitated several times, wanting to speak but holding back. It desperately wanted to intervene, but it couldn’t stop Bai Tang’s actions. Despite the severe injuries to her body, Bai Tang managed to turn the tables against the blackened big boss. However, she went too far—not only killing the blackened big boss but also kicking his head into the river several hundred meters away, with the body buried in a pit.

One-third of the core data was in jeopardy, and System 168 didn’t want to become a useless system.

After much internal conflict, it decided to continue drawing circles.

Drawing circles to curse Bai Tang! Choke on food! Trip while walking! Die a miserable death!

Bai Tang skillfully used Lightness Skill, leaping from branch to branch, trying to shed as little blood as possible, aiming to let the blood drop on the dark leaves above.

Who would have expected that a severely injured person wouldn’t walk on the ground but leave from above the trees?

A sword to the chest, another by the heart, and various wounds covered her body. When the female healer treated Bai Tang, she was astonished—she had never seen someone with such severe injuries still alive. Apart from a paler complexion, everything seemed surprisingly well.

After tending to her wounds, Bai Tang left quietly, leaving behind some silver.

She found an uninhabited small hut and temporarily settled in, taking time to properly heal. After all, there was something special this time.

Bai Tang gently enveloped a faint presence with her spiritual energy, nourishing it.

Yes, this time, the original Bai Tang did not die. There was still a trace of consciousness, and when Bai Tang noticed, she used her spiritual energy to protect the original owner’s consciousness.

“I know your name is Bai Tang, but what’s your nickname?”

There had to be a distinction, right?

The faint presence seemed to have observed for a while, confirming that Bai Tang harbored no ill intentions. She whispered, “My nickname is Yaoyao, the Yao from ‘an elegant and virtuous woman, sought after day and night, in waking and in sleep‘. You… are called Bai Tang? Why are you in my body?”

Yaoyao was well aware of how dangerous the situation had been just now. If it weren’t for this unfamiliar woman, she wouldn’t have made it out alive.

Bai Tang smiled, “I borrowed your body for a purpose. I’m here to take care of something.”

“What is it?” Yaoyao asked gently.

“Who was the person just now?” Bai Tang countered.

At the mention of this, Yaoyao’s spiritual body became excited, filled with hatred. “He is the mortal enemy who slaughtered my entire family, the leader of the Blood Devil Cult. No one knows his real name—everyone in the Blood Devil Cult calls him the Venerable Lord.”

“I have to thank you for killing him, avenging my family and ridding the martial world of this scourge!”

Bai Tang fell silent for a moment and cautiously asked, “What if I told you he didn’t die?”

Yaoyao was puzzled. She had clearly watched Bai Tang decapitate the Venerable Lord and thrust a blade into his heart. His head and body had been separated. How could he still be alive?

“He’s like this—he can’t possibly be alive.”

Bai Tang softly said, “You don’t know. Anyone who knows his secret is dead. Yaoyao, he can resurrect. I killed him, but he’s only temporarily dead. He may have already revived and returned to the Blood Devil Cult.”

Yaoyao was incredulous, “How is that possible?”

“Though it may seem unbelievable to you, it is the truth. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here.” Bai Tang said quietly.

This overpowered BUFF of Wen Su was undoubtedly attracting a lot of envy and was indeed a bit abnormal.

After a moment of silence, Yaoyao said, “As long as we can kill him, Young Lady Bai, I’m willing to die, and you can have my body.”

Recalling the beauty of the past, everything turned to nothingness after the appearance of this devil leader. Yaoyao was consumed with resentment, yearning to drink his blood and eat his flesh.
