In the darkness, we could barely see the figure's face, only a shadow moving closer and closer toward us. Out of curiosity, I picked up the flashlight and shone it in that direction.
But when the light illuminated the figure, I was instantly taken aback, my face filled with disbelief.
It was He Si.
I couldn't believe it; how could He Si be here? Then who was the He Si in the hotel?
Confusion washed over me, a torrent of questions swirling in my mind.
"This... how is this possible?" Xiao Juan murmured quietly, clearly just as incredulous.
Yet the He Si before us walked toward us with an indifferent expression, his gaze cold and his face grim.
No, he wasn't He Si.
Suddenly, I made a quick judgment and recalled the last time I had been deceived by someone impersonating He Si.
It had to be him, with that same icy and eerie gaze.
As I pondered this, he had already stopped in his tracks, standing right next to the Corpse King. His eyes swept over us before settling on Mingyue.
"You, step back."
Suddenly, he extended a finger toward Mingyue and spoke in a very straightforward tone.
Mingyue said nothing, seemingly responding to him with silence as she continued to stand there indifferently.
"Don't retreat."
The person seemed slightly angry, and their tone grew even colder.
Yet Mingyue remained standing her ground. This time, she spoke up, her voice equally icy. "I don't care who you are, but you are not my opponent, so it is you who should retreat."
"No, I still have him." The one before her shook his head and pointed to the figure standing beside him—the Corpse King.
I couldn't help but glance over. After his appearance, the once fearsome Corpse King now stood there remarkably still, merely breathing heavily.
However, Mingyue showed no signs of backing down. Instead, she coldly remarked, "You also come from the Exiled Ridge Lineage; you should know he cannot withstand the Yang Sha energy from the Unloading Gate's blood essence."
There was no response. Mingyue's words seemed to plunge the man before her, He Si, into silence.
I couldn't help but scrutinize He Si again. Who exactly was he?
Why did he choose to present himself as He Si? Why had he tried to trick me into leaving last time, and now appeared in this cave?
Unloading Gate, Mu Family—could he also be a member of the Mu Family?
I couldn't help but speculate.
After a brief silence, he did not speak.
But in the next moment, he charged directly at Mingyue without hesitation, choosing to attack.
Clearly, Mingyue felt no fear towards He Si. After all, she had already fought him before, and it was evident that this version of He Si was not her match.
Once again, it was the same; after just a brief exchange, he found himself in a passive position, being suppressed by Mingyue at every turn.
Suddenly, a rune appeared in his hand. With a flick of his finger, it struck the Corpse King directly. A heavy gasp escaped the Corpse King's mouth as its gaze shifted to Mingyue.
In an instant, it charged toward her.
Despite Mingyue's earlier insistence that the blood from the tip of her tongue could subdue the fierce and formidable Corpse King, I still felt a wave of anxiety for her. Jin Zhongyun's face also showed concern as he rushed toward He Si.
"Ah Yue, you deal with the Corpse King first; I'll hold him off," Jin Zhongyun said in broken Mandarin after charging in.
Mingyue was momentarily taken aback, but seeing that Jin Zhongyun had already engaged He Si, she hesitated no longer.
With her Crimson Lips pressed together, she bit her tongue, and like a sword, she dashed toward the Corpse King. A spray of fresh blood erupted from her mouth and struck her hand before she swiftly pointed it at the center of the Corpse King's forehead.
In that instant, a terrifying scene unfolded. As Mingyue's fingertip made contact with the Corpse King's forehead, a deep bellow erupted from its throat, reminiscent of a bull's roar.
That single touch was like a jolt of electricity, shimmering with a faint red glow, sending the Corpse King flying backward to crash onto the ground, where it began to convulse violently.
The next moment, the Corpse King's body started to decay at an alarming rate. From top to bottom, beginning at its brow, wisps of white smoke rose. In mere moments, it shriveled visibly before my eyes, leaving only its tattered robe on the ground.
How is this possible?
I was stunned, feeling both incredulous and terrified. However, when I looked at Mingyue, I saw her complexion had turned pale; she seemed to have suddenly become weak and listless.
"Hmph."
Seeing the Corpse King defeated, the figure before me, He Si, couldn't help but let out a cold snort. However, a sinister smile crept onto his lips as he said, "Mingyue, you actually used the Tip of the Tongue Blood. Do you really think you can still stand against me now?"
Mingyue did not respond, but judging by her current state, it was clear that she could not possibly be a match for He Si.
As for Jin Zhongyun, although he seemed to have some skills, he was on an entirely different level compared to He Si and Mingyue.
He was quickly kicked aside and left unable to stand.
At that moment, He Si ignored the completely vanished Corpse King and turned his gaze toward me, a chilling smile spreading across his face as he approached.
My expression tightened as I realized that after all this commotion, his target was actually me.
I had no idea how much damage Mingyue's use of the Tip of the Tongue Blood would inflict on her or what made her blood different from an ordinary person's.
But looking into He Si's eyes, I suddenly understood one thing: he did not expect the Corpse King to harm us at all.
As for those Black-Furred Zombies, they were even less of a concern.
His true intention was to use the Corpse King to force Mingyue into biting her tongue and using her Tip of the Tongue Blood. Once that happened, no one would be able to stop him.
But why did he insist on capturing me twice?
I couldn't make sense of it, but my mind raced as I searched for a way to respond.
He was steadily approaching us, and Jin Zhongyun was already unable to intervene.
A cold snort escaped Mingyue's lips at that moment, but looking at her pale face, it was clear that even standing was a struggle for her.
Even if she wanted to intervene, it would be futile; she could only watch helplessly as He Si walked past her.
After a few steps, He Si stood before us, his gaze icy as he scrutinized me, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth. The Yin Wife was fierce.
I glared at him with a grim expression, taking a deep breath.
At that moment, Xiao Juan stepped in front of me without hesitation, as if she intended to protect me.
I felt a slight warmth in my heart but still reached out with a smile to pull Xiao Juan behind me.
She paused for a moment, calling out to me in surprise.
I cast a complicated glance at He Si before turning to Xiao Juan and gently smiling. "His target is me; some things I must face myself."
Then I stood resolutely in front of Xiao Juan, no longer feeling any fear.
Today has already seen three chapters; if I update one more, it will likely be after midnight. I'm going out to grab something to eat.
