“Tang Hui and the others naturally felt some disdain for Luo Chen’s words. Although that woman’s strength might be above Old Huang’s, if a snow leopard appeared on their side, they were confident they could kill it.
But the moment Luo Chen’s words ‘Is that so?’ landed, Tang Hui and the others finally sensed something was wrong.
Especially Tang Hui, who suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
This time, they finally knew what had been following them. It was a woman, dressed in red clothes, as vivid as fresh blood, with long hair dragging on the ground. Her face was bizarre.
It was a face without features, just a lump of flesh, no eyes, nose, or mouth. And those hands, white as snow, without any trace of blood colour, had already clamped around Tang Hui’s neck.
The remaining two grandmasters reacted first, striking out with a palm, their power immense.
After all, a grandmaster could kill with a breath, so their power was not to be underestimated. But when that palm strike hit the woman, they were instantly blasted backwards.
Even a layer of ice formed on their hands!
The two grandmasters looked at the woman in red with horror. This was definitely not a human.
And the woman in red had not moved an inch!
Old Huang let out a fierce roar. He had already invited a great immortal to possess him. His pupils instantly turned into snake-like slits, and a chilling aura swept over them.
But the moment Chang Ba Ye took possession, a shriek rang out.
‘Is this a Snow Woman?’
That was Chang Ba Ye’s voice. Even though he was supposedly a great immortal, he was shrieking in fear.
‘Get lost, Ba Ye does not want to mess with this thing!’ Old Huang had been full of imposing momentum, but it instantly fizzled out.
That great immortal, Chang Ba Ye, was clearly afraid and had left on his own.
This was awkward. Old Huang’s own strength was indeed considerable, but he could only unleash it after inviting a spirit to possess him. Otherwise, he was only slightly stronger than a grandmaster, not even reaching the half-step to the Transformation Realm.
If Chang Ba Ye was unwilling to help, things could get quite dire.
Old Huang stamped his foot, forcibly trying to invite the spirit to possess him, but that chilling aura arrived in an instant and left just as quickly.
Old Huang stamped his foot several more times, but there was no response at all.
Clearly, Ba Ye was unwilling to come.
Snow Woman!
This kind of entity might not have extremely high power, but it was extremely troublesome. Since ancient times, there had been legends that a woman would occasionally appear in the snow.
She would pretend to be pitiful, specifically to bewilder woodcutters or hunters who went up the mountain.
Then she would kill them.
But clearly, legends were unreliable. The real Snow Woman was far more terrifying than the legends suggested.
Because for some reason, this damned Snow Woman could not be killed!
If you made an enemy of her, she would haunt you relentlessly for your entire life, waiting to devour your soul after you died.
Once, a Living Buddha encountered a Snow Woman in Kunlun. They fought so fiercely that the heavens and earth seemed to collapse. In the end, the Living Buddha scattered the Snow Woman.
But when he returned to his temple, the Snow Woman was already waiting for him there.
That was a Living Buddha, yet he was haunted by the Snow Woman for a full forty-nine days. In the end, he had no choice but to take his own life.
This showed just how terrifying this damned thing was!
After all, it dared to go directly to a temple!
Where would ordinary ghosts and monsters dare to go to a Living Buddha’s temple?
So even the so-called great immortal Chang Ba Ye was unwilling to mess with this damned thing.
Because this damned thing was relentless. If you did not die, she would follow you forever!
And you could do nothing about her.
Tang Hui was clearly panicking. The Snow Woman’s claws were clamped tightly around his neck like steel pincers, squeezing until Tang Hui was nearly suffocating.
Old Huang was also anxious. He did not know much about Snow Women, but it was clear he could not save his disciple now.
He could only watch helplessly as Tang Hui was strangled by the Snow Woman, then watched her step by step approach death.
‘Captain Luo, please, save someone!’ The first to speak was Jin Yu.
‘I do not want to.’ Luo Chen gave a cold smile, standing to one side, clearly intending to watch the spectacle.
‘Captain Luo, we were wrong just now. Please, ask that young lady beside you to save him!’ Jin Yu said anxiously.
Only now did she truly understand why Old Yang had made Luo Chen the captain. It turned out he really did have that strength. After all, he was accompanied by a super expert, and it seemed she only listened to Luo Chen.
Moreover, the reason Jin Yu was calling for help was not only to save Tang Hui, but also to save herself. If Tang Hui, Old Huang, and the others died, then Jin Yu herself would not be far from death.
‘I said, I do not want to save him!’ Luo Chen remained firm.
Jin Yu instantly regretted it. If she had known earlier that Luo Chen had such an expert by his side, why would she have stood in front of Old Huang?
Why would she have questioned Luo Chen all along the way?
‘Please, save him.’ Jin Yu looked at Tang Hui, who was about to be strangled to death. She was utterly terrified, because it was very likely she would die next.
Crack!
Tang Hui’s neck snapped with the sound.
Tang Hui was dead.
Thoroughly dead. The Snow Woman enjoyed killing people by slowly torturing them to death, then absorbing the energy of their fear.
Otherwise, Tang Hui would have died long ago.
The Snow Woman slowly walked towards Jin Yu.
Jin Yu barely had time to retreat before a hand had already clamped around her neck.
Old Huang’s scalp tingled with numbness. He leapt up, about to flee, but a tremendous pulling force instantly dragged him back.
Then a hand clamped around his neck.
‘Captain Luo, I beg you, I beg you to save me!’
Surprisingly, Old Huang was the first to speak. He discarded his dignity entirely and began to beg Luo Chen.
Jin Yu felt the chill on her neck. Tears streamed down her face as she wailed and screamed.
‘Captain Luo, please, I do not want to die. I am still young!’
‘Hmph. Now you know to beg me? What the hell were you doing earlier?’
‘Sorry, I do not want to save you!’ Luo Chen was not cold-blooded, but he truly did not want to save these people.
‘Captain Luo, for the sake of coming here together, please save everyone.’ Li Dao finally spoke.
The moment Li Dao spoke, Luo Chen hesitated. After all, Li Dao was a decent person at heart.
‘Sigh, alright. I will give you face. For the sake of you at least not being cold-blooded just now.’ Luo Chen said slowly.
‘Those few, to be honest, with what they said just now, the fact that I did not kill them is already quite generous. Let alone saving them!’ Luo Chen waved his hand.
With what those few had said just now, Luo Chen not killing them was already an act of mercy, let alone saving them.
But Li Dao was a good person after all, and Luo Chen could see that. So he gestured towards the Snow Woman with a nod to the Blood Corpse King.
The Blood Corpse King instantly lunged forward.
Snow Woman versus Blood Corpse King. Clearly, this was a fierce battle.
In an instant, the people were saved, but the Snow Woman finally revealed her true strength. She fought the Blood Corpse King to a standstill, with neither gaining a clear advantage.
And by the end of the fight, they had directly shifted the battlefield and completely disappeared.
Luo Chen could not be bothered to worry about it. After all, the Blood Corpse King was not so easily killed.
‘Let us go.’ He took the lead and walked forward.
And in Old Huang’s eyes, a sudden murderous intent flared. It was directed at Luo Chen!
