Chapter 128: The Impulsive Little Nun

To be honest, if one were to look only at the "Undying Woman's" outward appearance and seductive body, Li Yu would be quite willing to give away his first time.

Alas, she is not a true human woman,

but a female anomalous entity!

Who knows what terrible things would happen after uniting with her.

At the very moment when the two were bared to each other and about to do the deed, Li Yu once again forcibly broke free.

Looking now, the Undying Woman beneath him had her graceful body bruised black and blue from his kneading.

This scene made it seem as if Li Yu were also a pervert.

In reality, this is one of the phenomena of contamination after being entangled by an Undying Woman; when it reaches the extreme, one will, like that Traveler of the Four Directions, be unable to stop themselves from killing and dismembering her over and over again.

Of course, Li Yu was about to do something similar next.

"Since refusal doesn't work!"

"Then I can only try something else."

With a thought, Li Yu had already taken out a Sword Pellet elixir and swallowed it.

As he felt the torture of sword Qi slicing his body like a thousand cuts, a figure like a "Sword Immortal" also appeared.

Li Yu only felt an infinite sword intent brewing within his body, urgently needing to be vented.

Before his eyes, there was the best target.

He said nothing, his fleshly body suddenly merging into a sword pellet, and immediately, countless terrifying sword Qi erupted.

The first and only one to receive the impact was, naturally, the Undying Woman.

Her fragrant and fragile fleshly body was, in the blink of an eye, shredded directly into minced meat by Li Yu.

Splat, it exploded in all directions.

It splattered across a large area.

Subsequently, Li Yu saw a scene he could not believe: the Undying Woman had come back to life.

And she came back to life as much as he had shredded her.

One after another, "tiny Undying Women" revived in dense numbers and began to merge.

Seeing this, Li Yu finally could not help but curse out loud, turning to flee.

Alas!

Not long after, he was caught up to.

A new round of entanglement began, but this time Li Yu did not waste any more elixirs.

Yet it was not that he had given up the struggle; rather, he suddenly realized that as long as he could endure those "slight" costs, this seemingly unsolvable Undying Woman could not actually do anything to him.

The most terrifying aspect of the Undying Woman is that she can contaminate high-sequence powerhouses, driving people directly to madness.

Sequence Six is no exception.

But Li Yu happened to have locked down his sanity, and no matter what methods the Undying Woman used, it would at most trigger some desires of the flesh.

Mania, obsession, and the like did not exist.

As for that little bit of desire, he had his own way of solving it; he only needed to switch to using the Art of Manipulating Spirits at the critical moment, imitating the practitioners of the Hanging King path.

Although he could not summon the Hanging Anomalous Rope because it was all for show, he could manage to eliminate a bit of desire.

And so!

For the entire day that followed, this man and woman, this person and entity, were completely entangled.

No matter what the Undying Woman did, she could not make Li Yu enter that state of mania.

And the situation had completely reversed.

In this round and the previous eight rounds of conquest, all the Outsiders—whether they were Order Masters or Reincarnators, whether male or female cultivators—

as long as they encountered an Undying Woman, they would definitely pursue her madly, trying every possible means to possess her.

Something like this, where she chased an Outsider, had never happened before.

Without this lethal contamination, the "lethality" of the Undying Woman was not even as good as that of a random anomalous entity; with her escorting him, he might be able to reach the ruins area more easily and then leave smoothly.

Just when Li Yu thought so!

A turn of events he had never imagined occurred.

The Undying Woman suddenly blocked Li Yu's path, looking at him with a wronged, weak expression, and said:

"Why don't you want me?"

"Do you think there are too few, do you want more of 'me' to accompany you?"

"I can call them all over."

At this very moment, every word she spat out made Li Yu feel terrified.

What is "more of me"?

What is "call them all over"?

Before Li Yu could find the answer.

The entire Anomalous Domain covered by the second round of the curse storm seemed to begin to flow and operate.

One after another, giant whirlpools, like portals, were born around Li Yu; behind each whirlpool, dim, grayish-white scenes from different areas emerged.

Once again, Li Yu witnessed the horror of the "Undying Woman" with his own eyes.

And this time, he witnessed multiple tragedies simultaneously.

What was reflected in those whirlpools were the scenes of Undying Women appearing in different areas at the same moment, finding different Outsiders, and contaminating these Outsiders to death one by one.

Demon Star Order Masters!

Reincarnators!

Sequence Seven, and even Sequence Six.

All of them died in a state of madness before Li Yu's eyes.

Li Yu saw with extreme clarity what a high mortality rate meant; the two camps combined only had about forty-some people.

In just this brief moment, he had already seen a full twenty dead people.

He could completely imagine: over the past two days, the group of people who were originally heading to the ruins had all suddenly encountered an "Undying Woman," and thus their nightmares had begun.

Toyed with, plunged into madness, losing their sense of self, and dying suddenly in the midst of it.

After this conquest mission ends, not only will many Demon Star Orders need to be remelted and recast, but the qualifications of the Reincarnators will also be reissued, just like the previous eight rounds.

However, as more and more whirlpools appeared, living people finally began to appear as well.

Or rather, people who had not yet been completely contaminated to death.

For example, Shang Yang! To Li Yu's great surprise, he had originally thought that Shang Yang, as a "mechanical body," would not be cursed or contaminated by an anomalous entity like the Undying Woman that purely incites desire.

But he had actually guessed wrong.

He saw that inside the whirlpool, Shang Yang's pair of scarlet mechanical eyes were no longer flickering, staring straight at the Undying Woman in front of him.

The Undying Woman, lying there stark naked with her chest cavity opened and her limbs severed, was still whispering temptations to Shang Yang:

"Study me... dissect me... my body hides infinite mysteries..."

"You are mine... forever my experimental subject..."

And for example, two other acquaintances, the little nun Sister Miaochang and Qing Nü.

Although both were female cultivators, they also had desires and had likewise fallen for the Undying Woman's tricks.

Both of them had smiling faces, tightly hugging and clinging to an Undying Woman.

=9+Shu_ba

If not for the increasingly mad and twisted expressions on their faces, this scene could be considered quite beautiful.

Besides these three, there were a few others still alive.

It was just that their situations were not very good.

However, their "savior" had arrived.

Although Li Yu had not expected it, nor did he want it.

But the following turn of events was indeed that he would save everyone's lives.

When a large number of whirlpool portals surrounded Li Yu, those "Undying Women," one after another, looked at Li Yu and the Undying Woman beside him with extremely vivid gazes, containing joy, jealousy, desire, and so on.

Seeing this scene, Li Yu immediately formed a guess:

"Although the Undying Women are the same type of 【Anomalous Entity】, different individuals seem to have independent thoughts and will feel jealousy and hostility toward other Undying Women?"

"Because I am the only Outsider who has locked down my sanity and is not contaminated, it has stimulated their competitive spirit, and they have collectively set their sights on me?"

"They couldn't possibly really all come over..."

Before this thought of Li Yu's had even settled.

The extremely terrifying scene he had envisioned as impossible to happen played out directly.

In various territories within the Anomalous Domain, one "Undying Woman" after another almost simultaneously abandoned their own prey.

Subsequently, they stepped into the whirlpool portals and lunged toward Li Yu.

In this process, the nearly twenty survivors from both camps also regained their clarity because the source of the curse contamination had moved away.

Just as they woke up, they first felt lingering fear, and then they saw an extremely spectacular scene:

A sky full of Undying Women passing through the whirlpools, lunging toward Li Yu in the center.

On every one of their faces, an expression of infatuation was revealed.

Although none of them knew what exactly had happened.

But everyone understood one thing: this person was shielding them from disaster.

It didn't matter if he lived or died, as long as he could hold back the Undead Women.

Then they could take the opportunity to travel at full speed, break into the ruins without any reservations, and complete their mission.

After all, everyone knew it by now.

Within the second round of the curse storm, although there were other dangers, the primary culprit causing the extremely high mortality rate was these terrifying Undead Women.

Regardless of their sequence, they slaughtered everyone they faced.

Right now, an unexpected event had finally occurred.

"Many thanks to this fellow Daoist!"

"Quick, let us head to the ruins."

"Fellow Daoist, your great kindness—if there is a chance, I will certainly repay it in the future."

"Brother Ren Shou!"

"Fellow Daoist Ren?"

Amidst the chaotic shouting, two crisp female voices suddenly rang out.

When Li Yu heard this, he finally remembered that he had previously consumed a Sword Pellet Pill; in order to better digest the elixir and unleash its strongest power, he had reverted to that sword cultivator persona.

Later, because he had not taken other elixirs and only used the Art of Deceiving Spirits to play the part, he had not adjusted his outward appearance back.

Now, seeing him across the vortex portal, he was recognized immediately.

Especially the little nun Sister Miaochang!

Ever since "Brother Ren Shou" had traded his life for hers to save her, she had been filled with unbearable guilt and deep emotion, and from then on, the figure of a sword cultivator had occupied her heart and soul.

If Li Yu had died completely, perhaps it would have been better.

But before that mission in the Strange Domain ended, the sachet had suddenly accepted her as its master, giving her an extra shred of hope and attachment.

Thinking of him day and night like this had, in turn, damaged her Buddha-nature, causing her to lose her previous calmness and indifference.

Now that she finally saw him again, she was naturally incredibly excited.

Coupled with the remnants of the Undead Woman's corruption still in her body, that obsession and desire caused her to make an extremely bold move.

Completely disregarding the "Undead Women" ahead that had nearly cost her her life, she subconsciously followed them and actually dove into the vortex portal.

In her impulsiveness, her movements were too fast.

The only person who could have stopped her, Qing Nü, had not expected this at all, and having just awakened from the curse's corruption, her reaction was a beat slow.

By the time she reacted, Sister Miaochang had already fully kept pace with the Undead Women, passed through the vortex, and lunged toward Li Yu as well.

And so!

In that spectacular scene, another highlight was added.

Amidst the sky-filling group of charming and bewitching Undead Women, there appeared, shockingly, the figure of a small, snow-white and frail nun dressed in black robes.
