The moment the divine power was activated, Rachelle's mind was cleared as she felt awakened.At that moment, her instincts kicked in, telling her to look at the infant. So she did, her gaze slowly moving in that direction while she felt herself shaking. She took a deep breath of cold air as a look of sheer shock overtook her beautiful face.There was no small boy in front of them; it was a queer-looking fellow quietly laying on the floor. With greenish-tinted skin, a sharp face, and long eyes that revealed a vicious ray, his thin lips curled up into a scary, frightening grin.The dark cyan long robe was made out of an unknown material. It was wrinkled and shiny, as though the creature was wearing a coat made out of lizard skin. This was a character straight out of a horror book.The thing that shocked Rachelle the most…was that the cries did not come from the creature's mouth.It was from the belly instead!"Waa…waa… Waa…waa…"The belly of the creature rose and fell regularly as
Scitalis, on the other hand, was a spiritual serpent that had poison that made him immune from hallucinating. Therefore, Scitalis conjured an effortless method.Once the cultivator entered the cave, he would stay hidden in the deep end and use his ventriloquism to conjure a baby's cries, attracting people into where the fog was. When the cultivators started to hallucinate, he would kill them when they least expected it.It was a vicious, despicable method.For the rest of the hundred years, Scitalis had used this method to kill many cultivators who stumbled into the cave, including many elites from the Hidden Hero Sect.Today, Scitalis was resting in the deep end of the cave when he noticed people entering the cave. Thus, he quickly emitted a baby's cries and waited for its prey.Not long after, Scitalis spotted Debra and Rachelle walking into the fog, and both of them started to hallucinate, causing it to smirk in delight. Scitalis lecherously stared at the women's looks and bodi
Debra was displeased to hear how Scitalis addressed her. In the olden days, 'wifey' was a title for a husband to call his wife. When a stranger called a lady with that title, it sounded frivolous and rude.Due to Scitalis' queer appearance, Debra could not bother to fuss and nodded to his question. "Yes, I'm the Sect Master of the Hidden Hero Sect."'Sect Master?' Scitalis' eyes flashed with a hint of peril and said excitingly, "So you're the Sect Master! My name is Scitalis. I came to explore this area two hundred years ago, but I've never gone up ever since."Scitalis was a lustful being. He purposely made up a fake identity to get closer to Debra.Debra and Rachelle's expressions changed into extreme shock. 'This man…is a disciple who came to explore two hundred years ago?'Debra examined Scitalis and could not help but ask, "Then, how…did you end up looking like this?"If Scitalis did not explain himself, there was no difference between him and a monster.Scitalis took a dee
At the same time, Debra realized the crack in the story too, and she eyed Scitalis warily. 'Rachelle's right. If the fog can make a person hallucinate and is lethal, why is he alright?'Scitalis pondered and thought these two ladies were hard to fool. Nonetheless, with his wits, he quickly thought of a reason."Maybe the mushroom on the wall has a detoxifying effect," he replied somberly. "After I eat it, I'm no longer afraid of the fog."Debra and Rachelle exchanged looks with each other and did not ask further, sighing defeatedly.With that being said, this was a dangerous place. It was not an easy task to leave unscathed.A thought then popped into Debra's head, and she shivered at the image. Looking toward Rachelle, she stammered, "Are we…going to die since we inhaled the poisonous fog, too?"Her pretty face could not hide how panicked she was. There were many things she had not yet done, and she had not reunited with Darryl. She refused to die in this place.Rachelle looked
However, all Debra could think of was entering the igneous rocks jungle as soon as possible to find the poison-neutralizing spring. She did not notice it was a formation.At that time, Scitalis piped up, acting caringly and sincerely, "The spring is in the middle of the igneous rocks jungle. Hurry and go drink the spring water. I'll stand guard to keep an eye if any monsters are coming."Debra and Rachelle naively nodded and entered, quickly searching for the spring but failing. Subsequently, their exquisite faces looked puzzled."Scitalis!" After searching for another round and failing, Rachelle yelled out at Scitalis, who was outside, "Where's the spring that you mentioned?""Hahaha…" It was then they saw Scitalis standing on a huge rock outside of the igneous rock jungle, his queer-looking face contorting hideously in self-gratification. "It wasn't easy to trick both of you into getting here."You can stop searching. There is no spring in there, and both of you aren't poisoned.
Rachelle did not dare to waste any time, scrambling to follow behind.Within a brief few seconds, Debra had easily brought Rachelle out of the Inverse Five Elements Formation.Then, the smug Scitalis felt his chest thud as he stared at Debra in disbelief.'This woman knows about formations too?'Debra was unable to hide her rage as she asked Scitalis coldly, "Who are you?"'This barely-human creature is so cunning and sly.'To think that she had actually believed his words earlier. Thank goodness she knew a thing or two about formations, or the consequences of her being trapped in the formation would be unthinkable.At the same time, Rachelle stared coldly at Scitalis, her gaze nothing but resentful.Sensing the women's rage, Scitalis returned to his senses as he said with a smug smile, "Heh. My beautiful ladies, it doesn't matter who I am. All you need to know that you'll both be my lovers from now on."As he spoke, Scitalis could not help but look Debra up and down.Despite
"Very well, darling. Let's carry on with our games, then."Scitalis spoke with a smirk before whooshing in Debra's direction like a cloud of smoke."You've got a death wish."Debra's expression was murderous at his words. She roared out loud, charging forward as a fierce battle broke out between both parties.In the blink of an eye, more than ten rounds had passed, but there seemed to be no victor.Despite being in the late stage of Heaven Ascension, Debra had no upper hand against the two-thousand-year-old Scitalis. Scitalis, on the other hand, played nice out of not wanting to injure or affect Debra's duty.Debra was anxious over not being able to get the upper hand.Scitalis was at ease, casting out blow after blow as he jeered, "You're not going to beat me, pretty lady. I'd just give up if I were you."Debra's face flashed with humiliation and rage as she roared, "You've got a death wish!"As she cried out, her blows grew more and more sharp and merciless. Yet every single
Scitalis clutched his chest in pain as he stared at Debra with an unreadable gaze.'F*ck. This woman is harder to take down than I expected.' Debra was overjoyed to have successfully wounded Scitalis, but she did not let it show. She let out a soft sigh before saying coldly, "Tell me who you are. I want to know your name before I kill you."As she spoke, Debra's chest sank with relief.Thank goodness she had come up with that plan that resulted in successfully maiming the monster, or the battle would have gone on.Scitalis wiped the blood on his chest, licking some of it off his hand before smirking coldly. "Heh. My darling. Did you really think you'd won just because you managed to hurt me?"As he spoke, Scitalis' mouth was stained with fresh blood. It was a terrifying sight, like he was a demon from hell. Debra frowned at his refusal to back down.Rachelle could not help but step forward and ask, "How are you still so shameless when you're about to die? Another word from yo
