Zhang Ruochen looked far away and saw that in the darkness, two Evil Dao cultivators wearing dazzling black leather armour were carrying a coffin and running forward at a rapid pace.
Their cultivation levels, both of them were at the Fish Dragon Third Transformation, and when they executed their Body Technique Martial Skills, their feet felt like they were stepping on wind and fire, and with every step, they were able to span a distance of ten feet.
Suddenly, the two Evil Dao martial artists’ figures lurched and came to a violent stop.
Their gazes, at the same time, stared towards the front where they stood, revealing a look of wariness.
Zhang Ruochen, wearing a metal mask and a white coat, flew down from the sky and landed lightly on the ground as he said, “What is inside the coffin?”
The two Evil Dao cultivators glanced at each other, put the coffin down, and each took out a 10th rank True Martial Treasure Weapon, and attacked Zhang Ruochen from both the left and right directions.
The speed of the two men’s stances were both extremely fast, leaving two strings of residual shadows on the ground.
Zhang Ruochen walked straight over and did not see how he struck, yet two sword lights flew out.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
As the sword lights flashed, the two Evil Dao cultivators immediately stood in place, still holding the True Martial Treasure Weapon in their hands, but their bodies became forbidden to move.
Zhang Ruochen walked all the way to the side of the coffin before the sound of “Boom Boom Boom” came from behind them as the two bodies fell to the ground.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword once again flew in a circle around the two corpses, refining the two 10th rank True Martial Artifacts into metal droplets and integrating them into the body of the sword before flying back into the spatial ring.
Zhang Ruochen stretched out a palm, pressed it on the edge of the coffin lid, and pushed it forward, and instantly, the hundred kilograms of coffin lid flew out and crashed more than ten feet away.
It seemed to be a new coffin, and there was no dust or odour coming out, instead, a faint fragrance was emitted.
Zhang Ruochen immediately held his breath and looked into the coffin, only to see a curvaceous young girl lying at the bottom of the coffin, dressed in a light green-coloured garment, her eyes tightly closed, with long and curved eyelashes.
This was a woman whose beauty was breathtaking, her long black hair was scattered right in the coffin, her skin as white as snow, her curved eyebrows, her delicate nose, her light lips, there was almost no part of her body that was not beautiful.
“The evil cultivator of the black market, surprisingly dug up a female corpse.”
Even though Zhang Ruochen was used to seeing beautiful women, when he saw the female corpse, he still felt stunning, as if a goddess had descended to the earth, so that one couldn’t help but feel his heart swirl.
“If she was still alive, I don’t know how magnificent she would be? I’m afraid that even the most ruthless man in the world would be mesmerised by her and willingly become under her skirt.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed and was about to retrieve the lid of the coffin and put it back on.
Suddenly, his ears twitched and he heard a tiny heartbeat coming from the coffin.
Zhang Ruochen immediately stopped and once again glanced towards the absolute beauty in the coffin, listening carefully, but nothing could be heard. He really had some doubts that he had just created an illusion.
“Could it be that she is a trap set up by the black market?”Zhang Ruochen was carefully on guard.
However, when Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to probe her, he found that the beauty in the coffin was lifeless, with no heartbeat, no breathing, and even her jade-like body was very cold.
If she was truly alive, even if she was well disguised, it would be impossible for her to hide from Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power.
Unless she was a Half Saint.
If she was truly a Half Saint, there was no need to deal with Zhang Ruochen in this way.
Odd, really very odd.
The thick dark clouds dispersed, and bright moonlight, spilling down from the vault of the sky, illuminated the dim earth and fell straight into the face of the woman at the bottom of the coffin.
The beauty in the coffin became even more stunningly beautiful, every inch of her skin was as crystal clear as immortal jade, and every curve was flawless, so beautiful that it was shocking.
“With such radiant skin and such vivid clothes, how could it be a female corpse buried in the ground?”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath of cool air and shook his head, grabbing the coffin lid once again and preparing to cover it.
“Dang!”
There was another tiny heartbeat.
This time, Zhang Ruochen could be certain that he had definitely not heard it wrong, there was indeed a heartbeat emanating from the coffin. From this, it could be seen that the beauty in the coffin was most likely not dead, and had just entered some kind of strange state.
Zhang Ruochen put the lid down and once again came to the side of the coffin, stretching out a hand to grab the cold wrist of the beauty in the coffin and started probing.
It had to be said that her skin was extremely fine and smooth, just like snowy silk, and just the moment she touched it, it made Zhang Ruochen feel a few moments of distraction.
However, Zhang Ruochen quickly regained his composure again and injected a True Qi into her wrist, probing if she was injured?
The true qi travelled around in the coffin beauty’s body and flowed back into Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea.
“How come? There are no internal injuries or external injuries, how could she turn into a living dead body?”
Zhang Ruochen gently lowered the hand of the beauty in the coffin, revealing a confused look as he prepared to help her up and check the Heavenly Heart Vein on her back.
The Heavenly Heart Vein was the main vein of all the meridians, and in order to determine whether she was alive, or dead, all one needed to do was to check if there was still True Qi in the Heavenly Heart Vein.
Just as Zhang Ruochen bent down and was about to help her up.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a jade-white hand, quickly reached out and removed the mask from his face, causing him to reveal his true appearance.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart jumped violently, knowing that he had stepped into a trap after all, so he immediately powered up his legs and retreated backwards.
His reaction speed was fast, but the speed of the absolute beauty in the coffin was even faster, as she stretched out a pair of slender jade arms and hooked onto his neck, and a pair of crystalline and light lips imprinted, kissing Zhang Ruochen’s lips together.
Zhang Ruochen retreated backward sharply, but the absolute beauty was still tightly hooked onto his neck, flying up from the coffin, her long hair and clothes spreading out in the air, her slender and delicate body was like a boneless one, and her slender waist formed an astonishing arc.
The image in front of him was both aesthetically pleasing, yet exceptionally frightening, as if the female corpse had suddenly awakened and wanted to suck Zhang Ruochen’s Yang Qi.
Zhang Ruochen was about to strike out with both palms, but he found that the eyes of the absolute beauty had already opened, incomparably beautiful, like two dark Immortal Spirit jewels, full of fiery affection were staring straight at him.
Completely different eyes, yet incomparably familiar.
It turned out to be her.
Zhang Ruochen’s palms, which were about to strike out, immediately retracted, revealing a complex look of confusion, helplessness, and some bitter laughter.
The small, wet and slippery, took the initiative to impact Zhang Ruochen’s lips, and although her movements were very rusty, she attacked extremely fiercely, and finally, broke through Zhang Ruochen’s defences, and touched Zhang Ruochen’s tongue.
This kiss, which could not end for a long time, even the skin of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth was a little numb, before the absolute beauty stopped and kept panting.
However, her hands did not let go of Zhang Ruochen, tightly holding him in her arms, immediately burying her head into Zhang Ruochen’s embrace with a sweet smile on her face as she said, ”Now, you still want to hide it? Still need to continue to hide it from me and continue to leave?”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, saying, “You deliberately lured me here?”
On the face of the absolute beauty, there was a smug smile of triumph in a treacherous plan as she said, “Who told you to hide so that I couldn’t find you. Yet, I knew that whenever I was in danger, you would definitely appear and would definitely come to my rescue in the shortest possible time.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head somewhat helplessly, so it turned out that from the very beginning, he had stepped into the trap that Mu Lingshi had carefully laid out.
He should have guessed that with Mu Lingshi’s ancient spirit and the many treasures she had on her body, how could the Ice Demon and the green-clothed Star Envoy hurt her?
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment, even if he had guessed that Mu Lingshi was deliberately trying to lure him out, wouldn’t he have been worried and rushed to the Falling God Mountain Ridge?
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why are you lying inside the coffin pretending to be dead?”
“If not, how could you let your guard down? Moreover, only if you take the initiative to approach can you remove your mask, preventing you from continuing to pretend that you don’t recognise me.”
The smile on Mu Lingshi’s face gradually disappeared, replaced by twinkling eyes that were clouded with a layer of watery mist.
Zhang Ruochen did not notice the change in Mu Lingshi’s expression and said, “But why are you able to determine that the person who came must be me? Don’t you know that everyone in the world thought that I was dead.”
“I am just able to be certain.”Mu Lingshi said.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart had an indescribable feeling of frustration, even though he wore a mask and Mu Lingshi had only seen him once, he was still able to recognise him.
However, Mu Lingshi had only changed her face to a different one and was lying right in front of him, yet he had not recognised it at all. It wasn’t until the moment she opened her eyes, revealing familiar eyes, that Zhang Ruochen identified her.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t be blamed, after all, the seal on Mu Lingshi’s body was arranged by the High Priestess of the Demon Sect, which not only changed her appearance, but also her aura.
Not to mention Zhang Ruochen, even if it was a Saint of the Holy Academy, it would be impossible to find out that Mu Lingshi and the Duanmu Star Envoy were the same person.
Zhang Ruochen felt the shirt on his chest, become a little wet, a hot current, soaking into his skin from the outside. Noticing the difference, he immediately looked down, only to realise that Mu Lingshi’s eyes had already filled with tears long ago and was sobbing in a low voice.
“Senior Sister Duanmu, can’t we be happier when we meet?”Zhang Ruochen queried.
Mu Lingshi flattened her lips and punched Zhang Ruochen’s chest with a pink fist without any force, saying with resentment and annoyance, “To you, it’s just meeting again, but to me, it’s like meeting again after a lifetime.”
“Do you know how sad I was when I learnt that you died under the sword of the Nine Spectres Sword Saint? I thought the sky had fallen, I thought I wouldn’t be able to live, and my entire being became muddled. I even foolishly went to the place where you died, found some broken bones, and while shedding tears, I buried them and set up a stone monument.”
“By the time my aunt sent someone to find me, I had fainted next to the stone monument. ”
“When I was rescued and woke up, the man tried to take me away, but I wouldn’t go, I wanted to seek death. It wasn’t until he told me that I should live, or at least avenge your death, that I regained some of my survival s**t and had a hint of motivation to live.”
