The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1007 A Meaningless Life
Elsewhere, Ming Yue Yin and Yuan Shao engaged in another battle in another location because the Heaven Gate sect area was bigger than he thought, even when the Jiu Yun and Hei Shen sects attacked together, they were still unable to cover the entire area. free๐โฏ๐ฏ๐ฃ๐ผฮฝ๐๐น.๐o๐
Dozens of wolf-like Hybrid Beasts with bat wings on their backs were swooping down on them in an extremely fast motion causing many Hei Shen and Jiu Yun sect members to be thrown and heavily injured.
Yuan Shao saw this and then gathered all the Qi within him before releasing it with a powerful swing of his sword that created a strong wind that tore through many Hybrid Beasts like vegetables on a cutting board, this momentum gave the members of Jiu Yun and Hei Shen time to gather themselves and saves their injured comrades.
"Why are there so many of them!" Ming Yue Yin shouted while kicking one of the hybrid beasts to the ground then the Beast glared viciously at Ming Yue Yin as it prepared to launch another attack but Yuan Shao blocked the beast's movement and then swiftly sliced ??the beast's body in half.
"Careful!" Yuan Shao jumped to the side of Ming Yue Yin.
"I'm fine!" Ming Yue Yin cast her gaze at the other Beasts that were preparing to attack her.
Then suddenly a black shadow flashed and rolled down towards her direction quickly Yuan Shao stepped in front of Ming Yue Yin in a protective manner.
,m Ming Yue Yin peeked from behind Yuan Shao's back then he saw a young woman rolling on the ground, at first Ming Yue Yin thought she was a member of the Heaven's Gate sect but Ming Yue Yin caught a glimpse of a small plaque with a black flame crest hanging on the woman's belt, therefore, Ming Yue Yin was certain that she must be one of the Hei Shen sect members.
Not long after that, a man's body was suddenly falling on his knee while pushed to the ground thought he painstakingly restrained his movement by piercing his sword to the ground causing long marks on the ground, but it was not over when all of a sudden hundreds of black needles rained on them.
Seeing that Ming Yue Yin hit her palm to the ground and the rock within the ground tossed into the air which then blocked the rain of needles, Yuan Shao also released his energy to create a shield. ๐ง๐๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ทo๐ท๐๐ญ.๐๐๐
"You okay?" Ming Yue Yin regards them both with a serious expression "Which Hei Shen palace are you coming from?"
The young men and women quickly rose to their feet and then clenched their fists respectfully, "Answer Your Majesty's question, I am Fang Xia and this is my brother Fang Yu, we are from the black turtle palace, we were given direct orders to protect Miss Guan Men Niang by master Wu San Bo, unfortunately, we lost her when we were attacked by Duan Shu Shu" Fang Xia appear embarrassed by her failure, she can only hope there's nothing happen to Guan Men Niang if not she doesn't know how to face her master.
"Duan Shu Shu?" Ming Yue Yin furrowed her brows before she finished pensive out of nowhere hundreds of black needles rained over them again causing Ming Yue Yin, Yuan Shao, Fang Xia, and Fang Yu to scatter in different directions.
The air around them turned significantly colder as it became thinner as if the air was being sucked from their lungs, from the smoke and debris Duan Shu Shu appeared in tattered clothes.
"Is that Duan Shu Shu?" Ming Yue Yin gasped then she turned to Fang Xia for further confirmation, "Shouldn't she be beautiful?!" Ming Yue Yin found it hard to believe that Duan Shu Shu who was famous for her enchanting beauty had turned into a creature with dark gray skin with long fangs protruding from her lower lip and her hair became coarse with the color that resembled corn hair.
"That...was Duan Shu Shu" Fang Xia give a firm nod.
"Lesser Demon, huh" Yuan Shao subconsciously tightens his grip on his sword.
Duan Shu Shu shouted loudly as hundreds of creatures gathered they were summoned by Duan Shu Shu's voice, and the creature let out a grinding sound with its teeth then Duan Shu let out a long scream, and the critters attacked them simultaneously.
The Hei Shen and Jiu Yun sect members who saw the scene counterattacked, they threw offensive amulets into the air while launching attacks at the vicious creatures, hence the fierce battle continued.
Duan Shu Shu kept shouting as she summoned more critters, Ming Yue Yin knows she must stop Duan Shu Shu first to stop her summoning the critters but she was overwhelmed by the critters and the Hybrid Beasts that attacked him relentlessly.
"We need to stop Duan Shu Shu!" Yuan Shao shouted as he continued fighting with numerous dark creatures around him.
"Damn, she keeps summoning those creatures!" Fang Yu grumble angrily as he watched more critters and Hybrid Beast comes from every direction.
"If this keeps going we will be outnumbered by them!" there was an obvious urgency in Ming Yue Yin's words.
A fast wind suddenly came from above and it attacked Duan Shu Shu, the sword glimmered as it turned toward Duan Shu Shu's head however Duan Shu Shu managed to dodge by jumping away.
"Li Mo Zhen!" Yuan Shao was exhilarated by his appearance and so does the Jiu Yun sect members.
Li Mo Zhen landed gracefully, he smiled warmly at Yuan Shao before turning his head at Duan Shu Shu who was growling at him like a beast, immediately Li Mo Zhen's face contorted in shock, even until now he still didn't understand why anyone will sacrifice their humanity to the point turn themselves into a hideous monster just for power.
How greedy.....or perhaps how desperate a human could be to go that far.
Duan Shu Shu's black eyes narrowed then sharp long and thick needles protruded from her skin like a hedgehog, Li Mo Zhen took a step back as the scene before him looked terrifying and disgusting at the same time then instantly the thorns charged toward him in rapid speed.
Li Mo Zhen was stunned but reflexively swung his sword to block the incoming thorns still some of the thorns managed to tear his sleeve slightly and d then leaving a burning marks it seems the needles were not only sharp but also poisoned, Li Mo Zhen pressed his lips in utter annoyance soon with one stomp he jumped at Duan Shu Shu and fiercely attacked her.
The battle between Li Mo Zhen and Duan Shu Shu was fierce, Duan Shu Shu's new strength made her abilities exceed her cultivation level, coupled with the ability to release hundreds of poisonous needles from her own body made it difficult for Li Mo Zhen to launch melee attacks.
On the other hand, Ming Yue Yin finally found an opening. She turned her head in Li Mo Zhen and Duan Shu Shu's direction and realized that Duan Shu Shu was too much trouble to deal with so with high-speed Ming Yue Yin dashed in order to help Li Mo Zhen but she was interrupted by Duan Shu Shu's poison needle attack.
"How can she release poison needles out of her skin? that disgusting!" Ming Yue Yin grumbles angrily.
"It doesn't matter how, because of the needles it's hard for us to get close!" Li Mo Zhen also expressed his annoyance.
"If only there was a way to cover her skin for a second just to stop her from releasing the needles again" Ming Yue Yin gritted her teeth as she contemplated her movement.
"Leave it to me!" Yuan Shao suddenly appears and then threw several crystal spheres shattered and the sticky liquid splashed on Duan Shu Shu's body.
The next thing that happens, the sticky liquid covered Duan Shu Shu's body with a thick layer, making it difficult for her to release the poisonous needle from her skin.
Seeing that opportunity Ming Yue Yin and Li Mo Zhen charged at Duan Shu Shu and then swung their swords together, they transfer their pure Qi into the sword.
Li Mo Zhen and Ming Yue Yin's pure energy gave Duan Shu Shu a sense of dread because she knew his death was inevitable, many thoughts flashed through Duan Shu Shu's mind, including the faces of her numerous victims including her own husband Wei Yi Shen, strangely she suddenly recalled his last words to her.
'For sinners like us, there can be no good ending, only darkness'
A light flashed as her body split into three pieces, slowly a sinister smile spread across Duan Shu Shu's strange face.
He had lived for power and now he died for strength, he never loved nor did she ever cares for anyone including her own sonโฆ what a meaningless life soon her body turned into black dust just like Sanguan Li Ye, therefore, her soul will also forever cursed to be part of Lazarus.
Ming Yue Yin watched the dust that was once Duan Shu Shu be swept away by the wind without a trace. From Lory she knows the consequences for anyone who sells their soul to the Demon, she wonders if Duan Shu Shu knows could Lao Min Na told Duan Shu Shu about the cost of her action, perhaps she knew, or perhaps she was also tricked like Sanguan Li Ye? only God's knows.
