Siliuer was one thing, but the dangerous aura emanating from the man in the brown robe made Ninth Lady's hair stand on end.
The man's triangular eyes fixed on Ninth Lady before he said to the smug-looking Siliuer beside him, "You won the bet. These two pieces of Corrupt Poison Jade are yours."
He took out two pieces of dark green jade and tossed them to Siliuer without a glance, then said to Ninth Lady, "You thief! You cost me two pieces of Corrupt Poison Jade. Pay for them with your life!"
As he spoke, two bronze daggers formed in his hands. He pushed off with his toes and charged at Ninth Lady.
Demonic Qi surged all around him. Ninth Lady's pupils contracted slightly. This was actually a Playing Water Lord!
A Playing Water Lord was a peculiar kind of Demon Beast. It was not quite a snake, since it had six more legs than one.
But calling it a lizard would also be something of a mistake, because it clearly had a snake's head and venomous fangs.
Despite its enormous body, however, this Demon Beast could race across the water's surface, hence its name, Playing Water Lord.
Such Demon Beasts had always been exceedingly rare. Even in the memories Ninth Lady had inherited from the Jishui Water Palace, few had ever appeared near the Ji River. She had not expected such a Demon Beast to exist in the Yellow River.
But there was no time to think about that now. The Playing Water Lord came at her fiercely, his two daggers about to pierce her.
A phantom of blue feathers flashed over Ninth Lady, and she instantly shifted more than a dozen paces sideways. Then she raised her blue spear and aimed its tip at the Playing Water Lord.
