235: Black cat, old lady

Rumble!

The giant dragon landed, and the entire street vibrated with it.

Some people who weren't stable enough on their feet, due to fear and being caught off guard, fell heavily to the ground.

Looking at the giant dragon standing before them, towering like a mountain, they were extremely terrified.

Immediately after, they saw the Calamity Dragon open its massive mouth and spit out scorching flames, creating a wall of fire on the ground.

The intention was clear: to stop them from advancing.

"A dragon? Why is there a dragon in the Huangquan Ghost Realm?"

"This guy looks a bit familiar. Right! I remember now, I recall there was such a giant dragon in the Undead Monarch's army!"

"Undead Monarch? It's the Undead Monarch's Undead? So the rumors were true!"

"Could it be that Man is the Undead Monarch?"

"Not sure, but he looks like a Great Xia person, so the possibility is high."

...

Everyone discussed animatedly, constantly retreating. No one had the courage to cross that Dragon Flame fire wall.

They knew clearly that once they got close, they would definitely turn into charcoal.

Even if they were lucky enough to break through the flame's obstruction, how would they face the Calamity Dragon?

That was a terrifying enemy that they instinctively didn't want to face, knowing full well they couldn't be its opponent.

Boom!!

The air was frequently squeezed, causing loud bangs, and strong waves of air spread out, blowing away head-sized rocks like feathers.

Huo Ke and his group were tossed up and down, rolling and flying, desperately reaching out to grab onto something.

The Punitive Army (punitive expedition army) they had painstakingly assembled was scattered into disarray.

"No!!"

Li San Gui, in his final wail, was suppressed by the pagoda.

Both his physical body and soul were erased.

Fortunately, the Undead Extraction skill had been optimized, allowing for the extraction of Undead and skills even if no bones remained.

Chen Ming wanted them all!

The skill was acquired, and the Undead, both were acquired.

As for the skill, he casually threw it all to the Calamity Dragon.

The skill of evolving by devouring was very suitable for it.

'Li San Gui in that form was actually suppressed and killed by her with a single move!'

The Red-Clothed Woman tilted her head, her gaze fixed on Qin Hongyue, finding it incredibly hard to believe.

She really wanted to know, if Qin Hongyue, as a servant, possessed such strength, how powerful would her Master, Chen Ming, be when he displayed his true strength?

She couldn't imagine.

"Instant, instant kill??"

"I'm certain now that he is the Undead Monarch. Besides him, no one else could possibly control that Woman and this giant dragon before us."

"It's too astonishing! Can he run rampant not only on Blue Star but even in SS-grade Secret Realm Dungeons?"

"Alright, everyone, let's disperse quickly, lest he mistakenly think we're here to cause trouble and ruthlessly kill us."

Upon receiving this reminder, everyone felt it made a lot of sense.

Just as they were about to turn and leave, the sound of a wooden staff hitting the stone pavement reached their ears.

Dong... dong... dong...

The sound seemed to come from all directions, not a specific one, making it impossible to pinpoint.

Some people even felt the sound was coming from inside their own minds.

"Sanggui, Sanggui, where are you?"

Suddenly, an old woman's voice assailed them from the front.

Everyone felt a chill down their spines and cast their gazes over.

They saw an old woman wearing a black Tang suit with bright red embroidery on the hem and cuffs, with a head full of white hair, wearing a headband but with plenty of hair still scattered over her face. She held a walking stick, her back hunched, and slowly appeared from the darkness in the distance that the light couldn't reach.

Or perhaps, she *was* the darkness itself?

Perched on her shoulder was an immature black cat, looking very thin, its rib cage visible.

"Sanggui, Sanggui..." She occasionally made sounds with her mouth; though not loud, they clearly entered everyone's ears.

This was the most unsettling point.

"Have you seen my Sanggui?" The old woman walked up to Huo Ke and asked.

"..." Seeing the old woman approach him with her head lowered, Huo Ke felt complicated and didn't know what to say.

He wasn't sure if the old woman before him was human or ghost.

'Could she be like us, a victim caught in the Secret Realm Dungeon world?'

"I'm asking you, have you seen my Sanggui?" The old woman raised her head, her eyes gleaming with a strange light, like a cat's.

'This guy is not human!'

Huo Ke was just about to use a skill.

"Puff!" A taste of rust filled his mouth, and a gush of blood uncontrollably surged out.

Slowly lowering his head to look, he discovered that his abdomen had already been pierced through by the old woman's fist at some point.

She grabbed an intestine, pulled it out with force, and then let go.

His intestines and guts also flew out uncontrollably.

Blood kept dripping from the old woman's hanging arm, down to her fingertips.

The next second, a bright red heart, which hadn't yet stopped beating, appeared between her five fingers at some point.

She squeezed it tightly, and its beating gradually slowed.

She casually tossed it aside.

The cat on her shoulder smelled the scent, immediately got up, jumped down, and began to feast.

"This old woman isn't human, everyone be careful!" Someone reacted and shouted a reminder.

"Did none of you see my Sanggui?" the old woman said disappointedly.

Her tone remained calm throughout.

"Sanggui?"

Hearing these two words, Chen Ming guessed that there was a significant connection between this old woman and Li San Gui.

'So on this map of Li Mansion, there are two bosses, one big and one small.'

Chen Ming felt that if he wasn't mistaken, the old woman should be Li San Gui's mother.

"I saw him. Your Sanggui was killed by that guy over there. There's a wronged party and a debtor; if you want to find someone, go find him, don't find me." A Sakura person named Sanqiao Xin Yan, knowing the old woman was not to be trifled with, proactively pointed out Chen Ming in order to save his own life.

Seeing the old woman not speaking, he thought she had decided to show mercy and give him a way out.

So he took off running, intending to escape from her side.

Everyone watched him run past the old woman, and the old woman didn't attack him.

They all began to regret, regretting that they hadn't seized this opportunity.

"What should we do now? She won't kill all of us too, will she?"

"Don't be nervous, maybe she'll let us go after she knows who the enemy is?"

"Is that really possible?"

Although they inwardly thought it was absurd to reason with a ghost, at the moment, they couldn't seem to find any other better solution.

Facing a Ligui like the old woman, who seemed frail but could tear out a person's intestines and carve out their heart in the blink of an eye, they were terrified.

"We shouldn't have listened to that guy Huo Ke, what monster to hunt. Now look, we didn't get the reward and have to worry about losing our lives."

"Exactly, what a useless big shot, instantly killed by a ghost."

"There's a ghost in front, a dragon behind, it's really damn hard to survive!"

Some people started blaming Huo Ke; anyway, the dead can't be resurrected, no matter how much they cursed, he could only take it.

"Ah! No! Don't come over!"

Just then, Sanqiao Xin Yan, whom they had thought had escaped, let out a scream.
