Chapter 7

Bang!

In the house, Qiūqiǎn kicked Báijǐn with one foot.

However, she was also forced back by the black rats.

At this moment, both of them had some injuries, and neither had an absolute advantage.

Some of the black rats retreated into the darkness, the injured ones.

The remaining rats, some surrounded Qiūqiǎn, ready to attack, while others surrounded Báijǐn, protecting her.

"The Divine Lady is truly different, even in this situation, you still have the upper hand, beating me like this." Báijǐn covered her injured face and looked at Qiūqiǎn coldly:

"However, how long can the Divine Lady hold on?

The number of black rats is not just these.

Want to guess how many?"

"Bringing so many black rats into Qīngchéng, the commotion is not small. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable?" Qiūqiǎn looked at Báijǐn.

If there were too many black rats, it would indeed be troublesome.

"I didn't enter the city. It was the Divine Lady who insisted on chasing me. I was just defending myself." Báijǐn smiled and said:

"Besides, this is the outskirts. Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators can't be seen here.

To be held accountable, there needs to be someone, and they need to catch us in the act."

Qiūqiǎn looked at Báijǐn coldly, touching her sore hand, thinking she was being cursed.

However, with too many black rats, it was quite troublesome.

Tap!

Tap!

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside.

Qiūqiǎn immediately looked outside, wondering who would come here at this time.

A cultivator?

Báijǐn also heard the footsteps, and she was even more surprised.

This place was specially chosen by her, and no one should come here.

Who got the news and came to deal with her?

Or was it someone from the Divine Lady's side?

She immediately looked at Qiūqiǎn, but…

It was too dark to see the other's expression, making it impossible to guess if it was reinforcements for the other side.

Qiūqiǎn also had such concerns. The array formation here restricted perception and obstructed vision.

This made her uncertain if the person coming was an ally of the other side.

If so, it would be very disadvantageous for her.

Then they saw a red light, it was a black rat.

"Is it also from the Twelve Pure Halls?" Qiūqiǎn was on guard, considering whether to attack directly.

Báijǐn was also surprised. Did someone else from the Rat Hall come?

No, those were her black rats.

Creak!

The already broken door was pushed open.

Because the wall was not complete, they had already seen a blurry outline.

About 1.8 meters tall, it should be a man.

However, whether he was a cultivator needed to be confirmed by seeing if his spiritual energy was suppressed by the array formation.

Soon, a man carrying a black rat walked in, his specific appearance unclear.

Just an outline.

But one thing was clear, his spiritual energy was not suppressed.

An ordinary person.

Thus, Báijǐn sighed in relief, scared to death, it was just an ordinary person.

It seemed to be just passing by, not an ally of the other side.

Qiūqiǎn also noticed he was an ordinary person, so she didn't need to worry too much, but…

Could an ordinary person be this bold?

Holding a black rat and walking into this pitch-black array formation?

Something was off.

She instinctively became cautious, to guard against a sudden attack.

Zhōuxù found the source of the red light and pushed the door open, walking in.

As soon as he entered, he saw two blurry figures.

One wearing a veil, the other... not wearing one.

They should be women, and both were surrounded by glowing-eyed rats.

It didn't look like they were being surrounded by rats, but more like they were raising them.

"It's really dark in here, much darker than outside, which is not normal."

It's not suitable to stay long, better to deal with the rats.

Then he lifted the rat and asked the two blurry figures:

"Whose rat is this?"

His voice was much better, but still a bit hoarse.

Next time, don't feed the demon seeds too much, it will make him suffer.

"It's mine." Báijǐn's voice carried a clear smile:

"Little brother, do you think there's a problem?"

Although Báijǐn found it strange, the other was indeed an ordinary person.

At most, a bold one.

Hearing a response, Zhōuxù turned to look at the one without the veil, saying seriously:

"Take care of your pet, running around can lead to death."

"Death?" Báijǐn still maintained her smile:

"Little brother, what are you talking about? It's alive, isn't it?"

Crack!

Zhōuxù reached out and twisted the rat's neck, then threw it aside, saying to Báijǐn:

"See, it's dead, isn't it?"

Báijǐn's smile instantly froze.

For a moment, she felt this person was...

Cruel.

But soon, she became angry.

She moved, intending to teach this suddenly appearing ordinary person a lesson.

Quickly.

In just one move, she could make the other unable to move.

Touching her black rats would come at a cost, wouldn't it?

However, just as she was about to move, a breeze suddenly blew past her ear, lifting her long hair that had been hanging down.

Báijǐn's pupils contracted as she saw a dark figure suddenly appear beside her.

It was that ordinary person.

When did he come over?

Then, a hoarse voice came from her ear:

"This punch has thirty years of power, can you block it?"

As he spoke,

Bang!

A sound like an explosion rang out.

Báijǐn felt something terrifying hit her stomach.

Crack.

It was the sound of bones breaking.

Her blood began to surge, and intense pain hit her.

Spit!

A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out, and then her feet left the ground.

The impact made her unable to stand steady.

Bang!

Her body hit the wall, and the wall collapsed.

Boom!

Báijǐn rolled on the ground twice, finally struggling to lift her head to look in Zhōuxù's direction.

It was a man in the darkness, his face unclear, but at this moment, he was like a nightmare in the darkness.

"You..."

Spit!

Fresh blood was spat out again.

She wanted to escape, knowing she must have offended this senior somewhere.

Related to the Holy Son?

She didn't know, but she had to escape now, yet in the array formation, she couldn't use her magic power.

She was going to be killed by herself.

"Uh, you actually blocked it." Seeing the other still lively, Zhōuxù was somewhat surprised.

Hearing this, Báijǐn's mind was in chaos, and she dared not stay for a moment.

She directly spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

Then the blood enveloped her, and she disappeared from the spot.

Blood escape.

Watching the other leave, Zhōuxù understood something.

There are indeed cultivators.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at the other person.

The other moved.

"Trying to sneak attack?" Zhōuxù was on guard and immediately acted.

"Bad, can't escape." Qiūqiǎn was alarmed and could only engage in combat with the other.

But...

What level of person could injure Báijǐn with one punch?

Zhōuxù's steps were fast, and in a breath, he was in front of Qiūqiǎn.

He punched out, aiming directly for her face.

Boom!

Just as the attack was about to hit, he felt a powerful force.

He instinctively increased his strength.

Crack.

It was the sound of something breaking.

Then the punch landed.

Crash!

Fragments flew out, cutting his arm, and then Zhōuxù felt he had hit the other.

Bang!

The other was punched away by him.

When he wanted to continue the attack, he found the person was gone.

"This one is much stronger than the previous one."

Zhōuxù was surprised.
