This is a woman's hand.

Soft and pliable, with slender fingers.

But it can't be called beautiful, because the skin is ashen like a corpse, with green veins squirming like snakes beneath the skin.

The nails are an eerie dark purple, as if freshly emerged from the womb, dripping pale green mucus.

Zhang Kui snorted coldly and attacked directly, the Lu Li Sword flickered with a disquieting black light.

He wasn't foolish enough to wait for this thing to come out.

As if sensing a threat, a massive amount of vines surged from the tree hole, twisting like a giant hand to collide with the Lu Li Sword.

Boom!

The vines encased in shattered ice scattered, the vine hand shattered, but Zhang Kui was also pushed back, sliding seven or eight meters on the ground with his feet.

Zhang Kui grunted, gritting his teeth and continued forward.

But that tree hole seemed intensely stimulated, filling the sky with pouring vines, sweeping in like a monstrous wave.

"Ha—aah!"

Zhang Kui roared, wielding the massive Lu Li Sword like a whirlwind, the Sword Qi scattered icy shards akin to standing resilient against stormy seas.

But it was merely self-preservation.

Those vines covered the sky, though the ground was littered with frozen branches, they were gathering more and more, the ground around him reverberated, rocks were cracking.

Zhang Kui gradually felt overwhelmed, more astonishing was the speed at which the unnamed demon was emerging.

First, another hand appeared, followed by head, body, and legs, revealing a completely naked woman with wet, long black hair covering her face.

Her figure was eerily enchanting, her aura frighteningly uncanny.

With a splat, her body full of mucus fell to the ground.

Click-clack, click-clack... accompanied by the sound of twisting joints, the woman slowly stood up in a way that defied human anatomy.

The aura from this woman was astonishing, though not resembling the Celestial Tribulation Realm, it was several times stronger than the Blood Corpse King he had previously slain.

Fight!

Zhang Kui knew it was a life and death moment, holding nothing back, unleashing all his means instantly.

Qi Prohibition Skill!

A large swath of vines was frozen in mid-air.

Sealing Talisman!

Talismans flew, emitting golden light.

Yet the vine deluge only paused momentarily before continuing to surge forward, swallowing Zhang Kui instantly.

But it was all a blinding skill.

Using Clone Skill to lure the enemy, while the true body remains invisible and uses Qi Ban.

Whoosh!

Zhang Kui suddenly appeared above the banshee, roaring as the Lu Li Sword descended with black light.

A grating sound echoed, Zhang Kui's pupils contracted, his face showing astonishment.

He saw the banshee suddenly extend her hand to catch the Lu Li Sword, a hissing sound arose as her hands dripped with dark green blood, continually withering and regenerating.

The banshee slowly lifted her head, beneath the wet black hair was a face of indescribable beauty, yet incredibly eerie.

Click-clack...

The banshee's head unnaturally twisted twice, suddenly another hand gripped Zhang Kui's neck, black pupils darted around.

Cold, indifferent, devoid of any vitality.

A massive wave of vines surged from behind, Zhang Kui felt like his neck was wrapped in iron, barely able to breathe.

Activating Qi Prohibition Skill, stabilizing the vine fast approaching his head, with his mana plummeting, Zhang Kui gritted his teeth and said with difficulty:

"You…are Lian Chengzi?"

"Lian… Lian Chengzi…"

The banshee uttered with a hoarse dry voice, then confusion flickered in her eyes.

Taking this opportunity, a large black umbrella suddenly appeared in Zhang Kui's hand, enveloping the banshee with a bang, followed by activating the Clone Skill to escape.

In the obfuscating black mist, Zhang Kui retreated quickly, catching his breath to restore mana, while keeping a firm gaze on the banshee ahead.

Of course, the black fog space couldn't trap her, but Zhang Kui was completely helpless, seeking a sliver of life, even if it meant destroying the large black umbrella.

To his surprise, the banshee didn't act immediately, instead covered her head with both hands, filled with pain and bewilderment in her eyes.

"Lian Chengzi… Lian Chengzi…who is that?"

"No, I am not Lian Chengzi…"

"Who am I?!"

The banshee suddenly shrieked, her eyes flashed with ferocity, instantly appearing before Zhang Kui.

"Tell me, who am I!"

"Damn it, how would I know who you are!"

Zhang Kui snorted coldly, slashing with his sword.

Boom!

The two instantly engaged in battle.

The banshee was swift, her claws seemed to shadow infinitely, all the while frantically demanding:

"Who am I!"

"Who am I!"

Zhang Kui defended left and right, embarrassingly, his arm quickly scratched with wounds, itching as small vines sprouted out.

Wrapped with black Gang Evil, those vines instantly dissolved into green light, Zhang Kui cursed loudly:

"Whoever you are, you're just a demon, a man-eating demon!"

His mana had partially recovered, continuously using Clone Skill, plus the attributes of the black fog space, flickering around the banshee like a specter.

The sword glimmered, blood splattered.

But to his frustration, the banshee seemed to possess an undying attribute, her wounds rapidly healing, while the green blood on the ground sprouted vines, attempting to bind his legs.

Damn it, how to fight this?

Suddenly, the banshee shrieked, clutching her head, stepping back two paces and kneeling to the ground.

"Eating people… no, I didn't eat anyone!"

Zhang Kui gasped for breath, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Who said you didn't eat people, an entire county of tens of thousands, you devoured them all!"

"Not one left, terribly vicious!"

The banshee's head shook frantically, seeming to recall something, first dry heaving, then throwing her head back with a scream.

"I am Qiongzhi, I am already dead."

"I didn't eat anyone!"

As she yelled, she frantically pulled at her head, a phantom of a white-clad woman detached from her body, incessantly flashing around.

"Divine Soul instability…"

Zhang Kui's pupils contracted, he snorted coldly, extending his left claw forward, "Soul Capture!"

The banshee shrieked, the phantom seemed about to detach but was repeatedly connecting.

Zhang Kui didn't hesitate, immediately using his last two skill points to upgrade the Soul Capture to level two.

Whoo~

An eerie wind swept up, a faint white shadow flickered past.

Zhang Kui focused his gaze, seeing a large hand gripping the neck of a white-clad woman.

This woman's phantom flickered, resembling the banshee's face but devoid of eeriness, with some added elegance.

The banshee's body over there was already motionless, while the white-clad woman's Divine Soul in his hand gently closed her eyes.

A woman's voice echoed in Zhang Kui's mind,

"Fellow Daoist, do it."

Zhang Kui's eyes slightly narrowed,

"Who exactly are you?"

The woman sighed,

"Past events are like smoke, knowing holds no meaning, do it, for if I return to the demon body, I shall no longer be myself…"

A powerful suction already emanated from the banshee's body, gradually elongating the woman's Divine Soul.

Zhang Kui snorted coldly, black Gang Evil instantly enveloping, the woman's Divine Soul gradually dissipating as well.

It seemed as if a woman's sigh whispered by his ear,

"Alas, Longevity…"

Zhang Kui breathed a sigh of relief, his body swayed nearly falling, hurriedly steadied himself with his sword.

No matter who this woman was, it was either her death or his own, allowing no hesitation.

Suddenly, he was startled, lifted his head to look.

Only to see the banshee's body beginning to crumble, transforming into countless vines, continually expanding, some burrowing underground, others entwining the surrounding space…

Damn it, it's not over.

Zhang Kui cursed under his breath, promptly exiting the black fog space, only to see jade trees and vines around gradually turning to black ash, while the large black umbrella in his hand emitted green light, tiny vine tendrils like ants began entwining along the umbrella handle…

With no time for these, as the ground was shaking violently, the space was already beginning to collapse and disintegrate.

Zhang Kui dashed out like lightning, quickly reaching the entrance. Fortunately, the white light crack had already widened to door size.

Ling Qiushui from the Celestial Water Palace had already sent her two junior sisters out, seemingly waiting here for assistance.

"Daoist friend, you…"

"Cut the crap, let's go!"

She barely said a word before Zhang Kui grabbed her, charging into the Light Sect portal…
