Seeing that only Jiang Miaomiao's head and shoulders remained exposed, and that she was about to vanish completely, Mingyuan made a snap decision and hurled Soul-Rending.
The blade skimmed Jiang Miaomiao's nose, nearly slicing it off.
Jiang Miaomiao said, "Maybe you should just let me sink..."
No sooner had she spoken than her body sank farther.
Soul-Rending weighed as much as ten thousand tons. Everyone had thought its weight would hasten the collapse, but as it continued to expand, it tore an opening in the mire that had packed tightly around Jiang Miaomiao.
Quick to react, Ning Xiang hauled Jiang Miaomiao out. At the same time, Soul-Rending unleashed powerful demonic qi. As the dead leaves slowly drifted down, Soul-Rending returned to Mingyuan's hand, and a gaping hole appeared where Jiang Miaomiao had fallen.
Ning Xiang first asked whether Jiang Miaomiao was hurt. After confirming she was unharmed, she stood beside Mingyuan at the edge of the hole. It was pitch-black below, and they could see nothing. Ning Xiang tossed a stone down and heard a splash.
Hmm...
This scene...
In her previous life, after kicking Jiang Miaomiao into the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, she had accidentally fallen in herself.
Without a protagonist's halo, she had originally planned to find somewhere to lie low, only to stray into an underground river. On its bank, she had picked up...
Damn it, Mingyuan again.
Why was this guy like a princess in distress, always needing someone to rescue him?
Ning Xiang shot Mingyuan a disdainful look.
Back then, Ning Xiang had even marveled at how quickly Mingyuan and Jiang Miaomiao had finished their business.
To check whether Mingyuan was dead, Ning Xiang had punched and kicked him repeatedly. When he reacted, she had been so frightened that she immediately turned invisible and fled.
