With no worries at her back, Scorpion Granny resolutely issued her challenge.
Though a thirty percent chance was not much, it was still worth a fight.
Yet this time, Scorpion Granny had kicked an iron plate—her opponent was simply too strong.
In less than two days of fighting, Scorpion Granny was defeated. Only the life-saving treasure Xu Chunniang had given her kept her from perishing.
"My lord, I lost. I failed your high expectations. I was useless."
"It was merely an ordinary battle. Do not take it to heart. Heal your wounds first."
Xu Chunniang glanced at the badly wounded Scorpion Granny, then looked toward the Red-Haired Demon King in the distance.

The Red-Haired Demon King laughed, a chilling killing intent gathering in her eyes. "This is the first time anyone has shown me such disrespect."

Yet before she could approach, the Red-Haired Demon King was stopped by an inexplicable force three zhang away from Xu Chunniang.
No matter how hard
