Chapter 139: An Accursed Equilibrium

Emperor Wei's cursed slave subordinates were all incredibly strong, and they were able to chase the other cursed effigies and slaves out of the valley.

"Impossible! How could these slaves be so strong?"

"Damn it, scram!"

The battlefield outside the valley was a mess as the two sides fought for domination.

Madam Rouge silently appeared by a tree near the outskirts of the battlefield. It watched the fighting occur quietly, then raised its head to look at Emperor Wei and the cursed king fighting in the air. Ghostly red light flashed across her eye sockets as she pounced toward a skeleton that had been suppressed.

"What?!" the skeleton cried out.

With an audible crack, the cursed effigy's head was broken off its neck and swallowed down Madam Rouge's throat. By the time its cursed slaves looked over, Madam Rouge had vanished with the rest of its body in tow.

A strange scavenger had made an appearance on the battlefield. Not too long after, she had stolen all their bodies away.

After consuming them all, their cursed slaves turned immobile. You Shi and the other slaves tore them to pieces.

They then tried to give chase after Madam Rouge, but she was so fast that they couldn't catch up to her. All they could do was report back to the valley. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

On the altar within the valley, the skeletons that the Red Emperor and Bai Ruoyi had transformed into were still holding down the copper coffin. Whatever lay within was shrieking and attempting to batter the lid down. The two women looked up at the sky, worried about Emperor Wei. Only when the cursed slaves flocked over did they turn to command them.

The claw seemed to belong to a feline, but it was composed not of flesh but rather of a shadowy substance. It was particularly sinister.

The beast appeared to be unable to free itself entirely from the ring; it could only extend one shadowy claw outward. The claw continued to swipe at nothing, as though attempting to seize Xiao Nanfeng—but the latter was prepared, and had stretched his arm forward so that the beast was unable to turn around and target him.

The beast within the ring roared and howled loudly before the shadowy claw turned into a pitch-black human arm.

"This beast can transform?" Xiao Nanfeng gasped.

A human arm would be far more flexible than a beast's claw. The arm attempted to flex around in order to grab Xiao Nanfeng, a shocking sight to behold. It suddenly grabbed onto Xiao Nanfeng's wrist, whereupon its fingers turned sharp and stabbed into his flesh.

"Spiritual power, activate!"

A flash of silvery-blue spiritual power formed a barrier against the black fingers, but Xiao Nanfeng could still sense intense pain coming from his arm. Just as the fingers were about to penetrate his qi barrier, a gust of yin frost suddenly appeared, forming a mouth with sawtooth-like teeth and biting down on the black hand.

The beast within the ring roared, then quickly retracted its arm.

The teeth followed the black arm into the ring. After a while, when the beast had finished destroying the teeth, it extended a black arm out again. This time around, a gust of superior yin frost immediately appeared from Xiao Nanfeng's mindscape, forming a mouth that encircled the ring in clear warning.

The two cursed effigies held each other in abeyance. The beast seemed outraged, but in the end, it retracted its arm.

Everything returned to normal, but Xiao Nanfeng understood that it was all only a facade. None of the three cursed effigies would go down lightly; they were clearly intending to manipulate him in some form. However, none of them were able to overwhelm the other two; they were forced into a temporary equilibrium.

"Don't the three of you want to keep fighting and see who's superior?" Xiao Nanfeng tested the waters.

None of the three effigies responded to him, causing him to sigh.

At this point, Xiao Nanfeng couldn't help but think about how much cuter Madam Rouge seemed. At the least, she was willing to communicate with him, and her enmity and grudges were clearly delineated. On the other hand, these three cursed effigies were unwilling to give him any information, as though they were all old hands at this.
