The Myriad-Foot Centipede drew back its head and arched its body like a bow pulled taut. Its enormous head shot forward like an arrow, its grotesquely oversized jaws carrying a terrifying devouring force as it snapped viciously at the cat girl Duoduo.
But who was the cat girl Duoduo?
She was the Blood Clan Progenitor personally appointed by Yang Ming!
Moonlight poured over Duoduo like flowing water, wrapping her in a dream veiled in gauze.
She wore red, her beauty cold and uncanny beneath the Stone Mask. Her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall, a gold hairpin gathering it into a simple bun. A red flower exuded a rich, vibrant allure, making her look all the more bewitching. Gold patterns embroidered her red clothes, magnificent and elegant, like fireworks blooming in the sky.
Suddenly, a brilliant blood-red gleam burst from her eyes.
With a twist of her waist, Duoduo dissolved into a cloud of blood mist before the Myriad-Foot Centipede.
The Myriad-Foot Centipede was startled. It had never expected Duoduo to be so fast that even its eyes could not track her. All it caught was a pleasant fragrance sweeping swiftly past.
But even now, it was too late for the Myriad-Foot Centipede to withdraw its attack. Its old momentum was spent, and new strength had yet to rise. Its powerful jaws snapped at empty air, gouging two enormous holes in the ground amid flying gravel and billowing dust.
Her red clothes fluttered as translucent, jade-like feet, as lustrous as mutton-fat jade, landed lightly behind the Myriad-Foot Centipede. Duoduo held the thorn-covered Pain Whip, her delicate face beneath the Stone Mask brimming with murderous intent.
"Sever!"
The vicious whip swept through the air. Though seemingly soft and pliant, it contained an edge that could slice through gold and iron.
"Hiss!"
