Free Web NovelChapter 581: Chapter 241: Two Women Captured
The night was as dark as ink, with clouds obscuring the moon.
In the inky darkness, a sinister laughter, neither human nor beast, echoed.
A giant demonic beast slowly emerged, with a blood-red body resembling a huge tiger, wings on both sides, and a long horn on its head.
Su Xin’s beautiful eyes were solemn as she spoke gravely: "Qiongqi? Celestial Fall Sect?"
Qiongqi opened its bloody maw, laughing wickedly: "As expected of the Zhenyang Sect Fairy, truly knowledgeable."
As it spoke, dozens of figures appeared around it, and Su Xin revealed a snow-white long sword in her hand, blocking in front of the array.
Zuoqiu laughed: "Fairy, rest assured, we are not interested in the things within the array, what I want is... you!"
Suddenly, Su Xin’s ears were filled with strange sounds like a baby’s crying.
In just a moment, Su Xin felt her mind become dizzy and her vision gradually blurred.
She was horrified by the sudden realization that her master once mentioned an extremely peculiar scroll in the Celestial Beast Record of Celestial Fall Sect.
Once mastered, it can transform into a demonic beast, without any combat power, but it can emit a sound like a baby’s crying targeting a specific opponent.
This sound has a powerful hypnotic effect, causing the listener to quickly lose consciousness and fall asleep.
This demonic beast is called "Gudiao", and her master once warned her of its bizarre abilities and to be cautious should she ever face Celestial Fall Sect.
Unexpectedly, she encountered people from Celestial Fall Sect on Cyan Lotus Mountain today, and they had a Gudiao in their midst.
Su Xin initially thought their target was the four people including He Zhiqiu in the array, but unexpectedly, she was their real target.
Caught off guard, she was ambushed.
Moreover, having expended too much spiritual power in a great battle with Little Hammer the previous day, she found herself struggling to resist the Gudiao’s eerie cries.
Soon, Su Xin’s body weakened, and the long sword in her hand drooped to the ground as she struggled to keep upright.
"What do you, what do you want to do?"
Qiongqi slowly approached her, laughing triumphantly:
"I simply want to make you and that little fairy a part of my body, so when I become a true Ancient Divine Beast and reign supreme, you both will share in the glory!"
"You also want to capture Little Hammer’s little sister?!"
Su Xin widened her eyes and desperately tried to lift her long sword, but Gudiao’s crying continued to invade her ears, permeating her mind, clouding her consciousness.
Clang.
The long sword fell to the ground, and Su Xin collapsed softly.
"Fallen?"
The Celestial Fall Sect members slowly approached, Zuoqiu prodded Su Xin with a hoof, but there was no response, and he laughed triumphantly:
"Just as I expected, this woman’s spiritual power is too depleted, her cultivation insufficient to withstand Gudiao’s surprise attack!"
"Hahaha, we’ve really captured a Zhenyang Sect Fairy!"
"Elder Zuo is indeed brilliant!"
Just then, someone came running in panic: "Elder Zuo, it’s bad! The brothers have all been killed by that little girl with the hammer!"
Zuoqiu exclaimed: "Didn’t I tell you to lure her into the Imprisonment Array?"
The person replied with a wry face: "She smashed the Imprisonment Array!"
"Damn it, let’s go!" Zuoqiu instantly sealed Su Xin’s cultivation, ordered her bound with the Immortal-Binding Rope, and hurried toward Little Hammer’s direction.
"Elder Zuo, in the array..."
Someone pointed at the array in the woods, Zuoqiu shook his head: "No time, let’s not complicate things!"
A group arrived at a hidden location halfway up the mountain, a trap prepared earlier by Zuoqiu containing two Imprisonment Arrays.
His plan was to lure one of these two fairies into the trap first, capturing one before dealing with the aftermath.
Unexpectedly, this petite girl wielding a hammer was so formidable that she smashed the Imprisonment Array.
At that moment, Little Hammer was swinging her hammer wildly, causing chaos among the Celestial Fall Sect disciples.
Seeing Zuoqiu approach, she gleamed: "Haha, is this the Qiongqi of the Celestial Fall Sect? Interesting, come on, take my hammer!"
She sprang forward, carrying her hammer, surrounded by lightning, the momentum was astounding.
Zuoqiu was shocked, this girl clearly had expended much spiritual power, why could she still fight so fiercely?
"What are you standing there for? Attack her!"
He quickly retreated, and his men rushed forward, as Little Hammer laughed heartily, wildly swinging her hammer.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
In moments, seven or eight people were sent flying by her hammer, their bodies charred, dead on impact!
Zuoqiu’s face turned green.
This girl with the hammer was only at the Golden Core Eighth Layer and had just been in a major battle, her remaining strength shouldn’t exceed three-tenths, so why couldn’t so many still take her down?
"Gudiao!"
The hidden Gudiao opened its beak, and a baby’s cry drilled into Little Hammer’s ears.
"Eh? What’s this strange noise?"
Little Hammer paused, shook her head, then continued crying out while smashing through the crowd with her hammer.
Quickly, more than thirty people were slain until only a dozen remained.
"Why is Gudiao’s superpower ineffective on her?!"
"What, what kind of person is she?!"
"Elder Zuo, she’s a monster, let’s run!"
The remaining dozen were terrified, turned to flee, but were stopped by Little Hammer, who raised her hammer, her young face filled with zeal and excitement:
"Don’t run, I haven’t had enough fun yet!"
"Spare us, Fairy!"
"Don’t kill us!"
Zuoqiu, with Su Xin on his back, retreated slowly.
Forget it, life inevitably requires choices, capturing one fairy is enough, can’t possibly take them all, right? freewebnøvel.com
Just as he was about to retreat, he saw that petite and terrifying figure suddenly pause.
Little Hammer’s excited expression froze suddenly, and the hammer in her hand thudded to the ground.
"Hey, Su Hongling, are you crazy? Don’t come out, I still want to play..."
With a thud, Little Hammer fell to the ground, snoring loudly.
The Celestial Fall Sect members looked at each other, none dared to inspect.
"A bunch of fools, move aside!"
Zuoqiu pushed through them, hesitated then pointed a hoof at one of them:
"You there!"
"Huh?" The person looked despondent, cautiously approached, tremblingly extended a finger to tap Little Hammer’s arm.
No reaction.
"Elder Zuo, this little girl seems to be truly asleep?"
Zuoqiu was overjoyed, rushed forward to seal Little Hammer’s meridians, ordered her bound with two Immortal-Binding Ropes like a cocoon.
Only then did he relax, bursting into laughter:
"I told you, I want them all!"
A bird-like, yet not a bird, beast-like yet not a beastly creature peeked its head out from the darkness, it was Gudiao:
"Elder Zuo, this little girl is peculiar, she seemed to mention Su Hongling earlier... Shouldn’t we reconsider?"
Zuoqiu’s eyes widened: "These two are top-notch treasures, if I consume them, I could ascend to the ninth layer, how can I miss this? Capture them both!"
The group carried Su Xin and Little Hammer, hurriedly descending Cyan Lotus Mountain amidst the dark night.
However, none of them noticed that at the top of the mountain, in the woods near the array, a piece of talisman paper lay on the ground softly glowing.
