Chapter Ninety-Three: The Blood Demon's Secret Chamber in Horror, the Madman's Ruthless Ascent with a Poisonous Scheme
Inside the Blood Demon Palace's secret chamber, the dim light, like thick ink, intensified the eerie and sinister atmosphere. Luo Qingci stood tall and straight in the center of the chamber, like a ruler descended from the darkness, radiating a powerful aura that inspired both awe and fascination.
Hearing the approaching cacophony outside, like a thousand horses galloping, she felt no fear whatsoever. Instead, like a hungry beast that had caught the scent of its prey, her eyes blazed with an intense, raging fire that seemed to set the entire chamber ablaze.
"You've come at the perfect time! I was worried you cowards would desert at the last minute! Today I'm going to pack up and deal with all of you rabble, and let the Blood Demon Palace and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect know that offending me, Luo Qingci, is like digging yourself a bottomless abyss from which you'll never be able to climb out!"
She sneered inwardly, her smile resembling that of a cunning little devil, her lips curling up in an indescribable arrogance, as if what followed was not a life-or-death battle, but a grand carnival tailor-made for her, waiting for her to showcase her talents on this stage.
"Bang bang bang!" The footsteps grew closer and closer, accompanied by a deafening crash. The door to the secret room was smashed open as if by a giant's fist, sending wood chips flying like snowflakes. The scene was like a bomb exploding at the doorway.
A swarm of Blood Demon Hall and Ten Thousand Poisons Sect lackeys, like hornets whose swarm had been disturbed, rushed in menacingly. Their faces were contorted with malice and greed, and their weapons gleamed coldly in the dim light, like a group of demons crawling out of hell, ready to drag everything in their path into endless darkness.
The leader was a man with a burly build, as imposing as a towering mountain. His mere presence seemed to blot out the sky, blocking out the only sliver of light in the secret room. The hideous scar on his face, like an ugly centipede, looked particularly terrifying in the dim light. Every wrinkle seemed to conceal endless malice, sending chills down one's spine.
He glared fiercely at Luo Qingci, his eyes seemingly spitting out raging flames with an aura of annihilation. He roared, "Little girl, even if you had wings, you wouldn't escape my grasp today! How dare you ruin our plans! I'll tear you to pieces, grind your bones into powder, and feed them to the dogs, making you disappear from this world completely!"
Luo Qingci curled her lips in disdain, her gesture both playful and full of disgust, as if she were watching a ridiculous clown.
She crossed her arms over her chest, deliberately puffing out her chest, her chin slightly raised, her nostrils almost pointing to the sky, and mocked, "You? You should take a good look at yourself in a big vat. You look like a crooked tree that's been struck by lightning countless times and rooted up by pigs. You still have the nerve to act tough and spout nonsense in front of me. I think you're not here to fight, but to tell me jokes and amuse me, right? How about this, you perform a somersault for me first, make me happy, and maybe I'll spare your life."
As she spoke, she magically produced a small, exquisite bell from her precious medicine pouch and gently shook it in her hand. Her movements were as leisurely as if she were teasing a cute little kitten in a garden in the afternoon. The bell's clear and melodious sound seemed out of place in this tense atmosphere.
With the clear, melodious sound of the bell, a thin layer of purple mist instantly filled the secret chamber. This mist, dreamlike and ethereal, yet concealed a deadly intent, as if a mysterious curse had drifted from another world. "What the hell is this thing?"
The henchmen screamed in terror, their voices filled with fear and panic, sharp as roosters being strangled. They frantically covered their mouths and noses, scurrying about like a swarm of headless flies. Some crashed into the walls with muffled thuds, while others tripped over their companions and fell face-first into the mud, trying to escape the mysterious mist.
However, the mist seemed to have been given life, or as if it had been enchanted by a strange magic. Like a nimble little elf or a cunning little snake, it quickly burrowed into their nasal cavity and mouth, and no matter how hard they tried to drive it away, it would not leave, and it continued to wreak havoc inside their bodies.
"Haha, this is the 'Bewitching Bell Mist' that I, your great-aunt, specially crafted after 49 days of seclusion without sleep or rest, using all sorts of rare medicinal herbs and those strange poisons that make your scalp tingle and your skin crawl. You'll see how powerful it is in a moment. I guarantee you'll never forget it for the rest of your lives, and you'll be terrified in your dreams from now on!"
Luo Qingci laughed loudly, her eyes narrowing into slits, gleaming with the light of a triumphant prankster. She was exactly the kind of mischievous little devil who loved to play pranks on people.
Sure enough, after a short while, the henchmen seemed to be under a spell, going into a frenzy. Some were brandishing their weapons, wildly slashing and hacking at the air, chanting, "I'll kill you little monster! Come on, who's afraid of who! I'm the strongest in the world!"
As if they were engaged in a life-or-death struggle with a group of invisible enemies, their exaggerated movements resembled a farce; some screamed in terror, their voices so sharp they could pierce eardrums, fleeing in all directions, shouting as they ran: "Help! There are ghosts! Don't catch me, I didn't do anything!" As if they had seen the most terrifying and horrifying thing in the world, their expressions were twisted like dough being crushed.
The scene instantly descended into chaos. They bumped into each other and fought like headless flies, with screams and curses filling the air. The entire secret room was a complete mess, reeking of gunpowder.
The scarred man couldn't escape this fate either. His eyes became glazed and unfocused, like a drunkard. The weapon in his hand clattered to the ground, and he swayed unsteadily, as if all his bones had been removed. "No, don't come any closer! Don't kill me! I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"
He screamed in terror, waving his hands wildly in the air like a madman. The scars on his face twisted even more grotesquely with fear, making him look like a ravenous demon with bared teeth and claws, as if he were fighting to the death with an unseen monster.
"Hmph, now you're scared? Too late. Your nightmare has only just begun. There's more to come! With your meager abilities, you think you can fight me? You're just daydreaming and delusional!"
Luo Qingci snorted coldly, her voice filled with disdain and mockery, like a sharp knife piercing the enemy's heart. She took the opportunity to rummage through the medicine pouch for her next "secret weapon," her movements as practiced as searching for her most beloved treasure in her own treasure chest; each medicine pouch in her hands was like a priceless gem.
She pulled out a handful of silver needles, each as fine as a cow's hair, yet all coated with deadly poison. They gleamed with an eerie, cold light in the dimly lit chamber, like deadly messengers flying from the depths of hell, exuding a chilling, deadly aura. Just looking at them sent shivers down one's spine.
"Take this! Taste my 'Deadly Silver Needles' and I'll show you what true power and despair are!" she roared, her voice booming so loudly it shook the walls of the secret chamber, threatening to rip off the roof. With a flick of her wrist, her movements were graceful and swift, like a skilled dancer on stage, sending the silver needles hurtling towards the struggling henchmen like shooting stars. Wherever the needles struck, the henchmen screamed and collapsed, writhing in agony like felled wheat, their cries like those of pigs being slaughtered—a chilling, agonizing sound.
Their skin quickly turned black, as if stained with ink, and they coughed up black blood, thick as tar. They were clearly poisoned, with no cure, and could only slowly await death in this agony.
Just as Luo Qingci was dealing with these henchmen, another group of enemies stormed in aggressively. This time, the leader was a woman dressed in a long black robe. She was like a walking dark cloud, radiating a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the air wherever she went.
Her eyes were as cold as two sharp ice knives, seemingly capable of piercing straight into the depths of one's soul and freezing it solid. She held a long sword in her hand, its blade gleaming with a chilling light, radiating a sinister aura that seemed capable of freezing everything in the world, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Are you that wild girl who causes trouble everywhere?" the woman asked coldly, her voice seemingly coming from an ancient ice cellar, carrying a bone-chilling coldness that was like countless ice needles piercing directly into one's bones, making one tremble uncontrollably.
"Oh, another one who's not afraid of death. You certainly have some courage! I bet you don't know how powerful I am, that's why you dare to be so arrogant." Luo Qingci's lips curled into a wicked smile, like a cunning little fox, a smile brimming with mischievous ideas. "But it's alright, this old lady's itching for a good time. I'll play with you, show you why flowers are so red, why the sky is so blue, and also let you witness what true strength is!"
With that, she swiftly put away the silver needles, her movements as agile as a nimble deer, easily darting through the impenetrable encirclement of enemies. She assumed a ready-to-fight stance, her eyes revealing excitement and anticipation, as if she were about to embark on an incredibly thrilling adventure, and she couldn't wait to show off her skills.
Without a word, the woman flashed forward like a black lightning bolt, her speed so fast that no one could keep up. In the blink of an eye, she rushed towards Luo Qingci. Her swordsmanship was fierce and ruthless, each strike carrying a deadly threat. The wind from her swords howled as if to tear the air to shreds. The sword shadows were numerous and dazzling, making one feel as if they were in a sea of swords. Each sword light was like the scythe of death, ready to reap lives at any moment.
Luo Qingci remained calm and composed, nimbly dodging the woman's attacks like a graceful butterfly fluttering among flowers or a nimble fish darting through water. Each dodge was like an elegant dance. At the same time, she couldn't resist taunting, "Is this your swordsmanship? It's worse than my neighbor's cat scratching randomly. Are you trying to tickle me? Go home and practice for another ten or eight years, don't embarrass yourself here. Or how about this, kowtow three times and call me 'Grandma, have mercy,' and I'll consider letting you go."
Enraged, a flash of fury crossed her face, her eyes gleaming like those of a rabid beast, ready to devour her. Her swordsmanship intensified, her attacks raining down on Luo Qingci like a storm. The sword shadows blurred and dazzled, making her feel as if she were in a sea of swords, each blade a scythe of death, poised to reap a life at any moment.
As Luo Qingci dodged, she thought to herself, "This woman has some skill, but it won't be so easy for her to defeat me. Let's see how I break her swordsmanship, let her know how powerful I am, and make her obediently kneel down and beg for mercy, begging me to spare her life. I want to see how long she can last."
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, a plan forming in her mind. A cunning smile spread across her face, like a cat that had just stolen some cream, beaming with smug satisfaction. She deliberately created an opening, like tempting bait, to lure the woman into attacking. The woman fell for it, a glint of excitement in her eyes. Thinking she had found her chance, she thrust her sword towards Luo Qingci's chest with lightning speed, the sword carrying the force of a whirlwind, as if it would pierce right through Luo Qingci.
Just as the sword was about to pierce her, Luo Qingci dodged the attack with a swift movement, her movements graceful and free, like an elegant dancer gracefully dancing on a stage, or a nimble cheetah running across the grassland.
At the same time, she took out a small bottle from her medicine bag and sprayed it forcefully into the woman's face. The action was swift and decisive, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
A pungent odor assaulted her nostrils, causing the woman to instinctively close her eyes, cough, and brandish her longsword, trying to dispel the fog before her. Her face showed a panicked expression, her once stern features now appearing extremely disheveled, her hair a mess, like that of a defeated warrior.
"Cough cough, what is this thing? You wretched girl! I'm going to kill you!" she shouted angrily, her voice filled with resentment and fear. The sound echoed in the secret room, sounding particularly desolate, like the wail of a loser.
"This is my great-aunt's specially made 'blindness spray,' made with various rare herbs and poisonous insect venom. It's specially designed to deal with reckless fools like you, to let you experience what it's like to be blind, and see how arrogant you can be then! From now on, you'll have to walk like a blind person, bumping into things everywhere."
Luo Qingci laughed loudly, her laughter so hearty and unrestrained that it seemed to shake the air in the secret room, as if to break through the oppressive atmosphere. Taking advantage of the woman's blindness, she quickly circled behind her, like a nimble cheetah, and kicked her to the ground with tremendous force, as if to send the woman shoving into the earth.
The woman fell to the ground and struggled to get up, but because she couldn't see, she bumped around aimlessly like a headless fly. Sometimes she bumped into the wall with a thud, and sometimes she fell to the ground, getting bruised and swollen.
"You...you dare to treat me like this! I will not let you get away with this! I will definitely kill you!" she shouted angrily, her voice filled with resentment and despair. The sound echoed in the secret room, sounding particularly desolate, like the wail of a loser or the struggle of a trapped beast.
"Hmph, this is what happens when you offend me! You're still too green for me. Cultivate for a few hundred more years! When you've mastered your cultivation, come challenge me again. Maybe then I'll look at you with more respect."
Luo Qingci spoke coldly, stepped forward, and stepped on the woman's wrist with her foot. The movement was swift and decisive, like a ruthless executioner. She snatched the longsword from the woman's hand and threw it forcefully. The longsword clattered to the ground with a crisp sound, as if it were the tolling of a victory bell, proclaiming her invincibility and glory.
By this time, few enemies remained in the secret chamber, lying sprawled on the ground like piles of mud, groaning in pain, their voices as faint as candle flames about to go out. Looking at the scene of devastation before her, Luo Qingci felt a surge of intense accomplishment, like a raging tide that completely overwhelmed her.
"Who else? Get out here! I haven't had enough fun yet! No one will leave this secret room alive today! No matter how many come, I'll wipe them all out!" she shouted, her voice echoing in the secret room, full of confidence and domineering, as if she were announcing her victory to the whole world. Her voice seemed to break through the darkness of the secret room, making the sunlight pale in comparison and shaking the heavens and earth.
