The black aura that shot out from Uncle Nanfeng five years ago still seemed vivid in her mind.
This black aura was no ordinary thing. Once she found her master, she must tell him about it!
This black - robed man and the black aura appeared at the same time. Maybe this man was behind all this!
The incident about Uncle Nanfeng back then had not been investigated thoroughly. Perhaps this time she could find some clues!
But now was not the time to be distracted.
The more panicked the situation, the more calm she should be when facing the enemy, just like her master. A thin layer of sweat had already soaked into Yaohua's palm.
The black - robed man let out a low laugh. "What a beautiful little girl. Even if she turns into a pile of bones, she must be the most beautiful one here."
The feeling of being caught by a natural enemy and about to be chewed up hit Yaohua again. The difference was that this time her master was not by her side.
Yaohua could only rely on her own ability to escape from here.
She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, as if she hadn't noticed the black mist. "Uncle, why are you here too?"
Yaohua was soft, cute, and lovely. Even the black - robed man's eyes flickered.
She didn't miss that momentary distraction. She pouted slightly, even put away the sword in her hand, and stretched out her arms towards the black - robed man. "Uncle, I fell so painfully just now!"
The black - robed man had never encountered such a situation. All the people he wanted to kill had shown either panic or anger in front of him. Only this little girl was very special.
She seemed to think he was a good person.
"Uncle, why don't you hug me!"
Eldest brother once gave Yaohua a precious sword. At this moment, the sword had transformed into its smallest form and was hidden in Yaohua's sleeve. As long as the black - robed man got closer, she was eighty percent sure that she could kill him.
Having been a bad guy for so long, he occasionally wanted to try being a good person.
Moreover, this was just a delicate little girl. What could she do to him?
The black - robed man was gradually wavering.
Yaohua staggered two steps towards him and deliberately fell to the ground. "Woohoo, it hurts so much!"
No one from the Phoenix Clan could resist her crying, and neither could outsiders.
"Uncle, hug." Yaohua cried and stretched out her arms.
The black - robed man stood there, his expression changing. He took half a step forward and then stepped back.
He was a bad guy, and bad guys shouldn't have the slightest bit of pity.
But this little girl was so cute. Who could resist such a little girl?
In the end, emotion got the upper hand, and the black - robed man walked over defeatedly.
Yaohua maintained her previous posture without moving, although she was extremely happy inside.
He was really cooperative.
The black - robed man got closer.
Three steps.
Two steps.
One step...
Yaohua channeled all her cultivation into the sword blade. In an instant, the sword blade pierced through the black - robed man's chest and returned to its normal size.
Drop...
The dark - red blood dripped down the silver - white sword blade onto the ground and quickly pooled into a small puddle.
Yaohua stood there stiffly with a small face, struggling to look at her shoulder.
Just now, when her sword pierced the black - robed man's chest, the black - robed man's five fingers formed claws and pierced through her shoulder at the same time.
"Little liar."
The black - robed man's voice was sinister, but Yaohua was no longer afraid.
The sword given to her by eldest brother could slay evil spirits. She didn't know what this black - robed man was, but it didn't prevent him from being restricted by her sword.
"So what?" Yaohua pulled the corner of her mouth and forced a smile through the pain. This was the first time she had hurt a bad guy. Her master would surely be happy for her if he knew.
The black - robed man seemed a little surprised. "You're not going to live, and you can still smile?"
"Then you will definitely die faster than me." Yaohua wasn't going to die easily. She let go of the sword. With the sword pinning the black - robed man down, she wasn't worried about any accidents.
She bit her sleeve and tore off a piece of the hem of her clothes to wipe the blood from her shoulder.
Master, master, when you're not around, the bad guys only bully me!
The aggrieved tears pattered on the ground. Yaohua kept wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.
"You bad thing, I must ask master to teach you a lesson!"
Clang——
Yaohua's voice suddenly stopped.
She looked in the direction of the sound. Just as she turned her head, the sword given by eldest brother suddenly fell to the ground. She was shocked and didn't even have time to pick up the sword. She immediately used her spiritual power and fled the cellar without looking back.
She was lucky to hurt the black - robed man just now. Such an opportunity might not come twice.
But she had used too much spiritual power just now. She could only barely leave the cellar and then had no more strength to run away.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Yaohua looked up. It was one of the little boys from yesterday.
He was holding a jar. She didn't know what was inside, but it was steaming.
"It's the grass roots stewed by mother," he explained specially, as if Yaohua's gaze was too obvious.
There were indeed only withered grass everywhere here. It was normal to stew grass roots. Yaohua averted her gaze.
"It's not safe here. You should go quickly."
Yaohua wasn't sure if all the people here had turned into living corpses like Shi Tou. After thinking for a while, she still gave a warning.
"Sister, you're injured!" The boy stared directly at the wound on her shoulder. "Sister, come to my house."
Yaohua hesitated for a moment. She was worried that she would implicate this little boy.
"Sister, if you don't go back with me and mother knows, she will definitely beat me."
This boy was in the same group as Shi Tou. He should have no bad intentions.
The black - robed man hadn't appeared for a long time. Maybe he was seriously injured and had no energy to chase and kill her.
Yaohua was in so much pain now that cold sweat had soaked her bangs. She really didn't have much extra energy to think about other things.
"I can't stand up. Can you help me?"
"Then sister help me hold the jar, and I'll help sister." The little boy immediately made a choice.
Yaohua nodded. Holding the jar, she found a pungent smell of spices coming from the jar. It didn't smell like grass roots at all.
She took a look into the jar but only saw a few whitish grass roots.
Maybe these grass roots just smelled like this.
"Sister, hold on. We'll be home soon." The boy's voice was a bit hazy, as if covered by a layer of fog. Yaohua could hardly hear clearly. She felt her eyelids getting heavy, but her body still followed the boy.
A tall and slightly plump woman walked out of the house. Seeing the two of them, she was a bit happy. "Zhu Zi, you're finally back. Is this the little sister you were talking about yesterday?"
So this little boy was called Zhu Zi.
Yaohua originally wanted to cheer up and smile at the woman, but she didn't know what was so strange about the black - robed man. Her body couldn't move on its own at this moment.
She could only be helped into a room by Zhu Zi.
"Mom, let's raise her and eat her slowly."
