Chapter 292 Escape
The woman's face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect that the two would wake up at this time, and it was obvious that they had discovered her a long time ago.
Her body trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
She snorted coldly and said, "You two, come with me."
Gu Yang smiled slightly, with a cold look in his eyes: "Oh? Why do you want us to follow you?"
A sneer appeared on the woman's face, and her right hand turned into a sharp claw, attacking Gu Yang again.
However, Gu Yang was faster. His body turned into a shadow in an instant and he easily avoided the woman's attack.
The woman's sharp claws missed, making a crisp sound, and in an instant she held Gu Yang tightly, making him unable to move.
The woman frowned, and her hands completely transformed into sharp claws, the tips of which flashed with cold light, as if they could tear everything apart.
She struggled hard, trying to break free from Gu Yang's grip, but Gu Yang's hand locked her wrist tightly like an iron clamp, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free.
Hu Qing stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes filled with deep interest.
He carefully examined the woman's scaly hands and thought to himself:
“This doesn’t look like a magic trick, but more like her true self.
It seems that this woman is indeed a monster, and her body is extremely damp, probably from the water."
In fact, when the woman just approached the window, Hu Qing had already sensed a strong demonic aura.
He immediately used his spiritual sense to wake up Gu Yang, and the two of them pretended to be asleep tacitly, wanting to see what this woman wanted to do.
Unexpectedly, she was coming for them.
Hu Qing saw that the woman's cultivation was only at the early stage of Jindan, so he safely handed her over to Gu Yang to deal with, and stood aside, watching the fight with interest.
When the woman saw that she couldn't break free from Gu Yang's grip, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
She suddenly raised her other sharp claw and stabbed it towards Gu Yang's throat!
Gu Yang reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side, and his sharp claws scraped across his neck, creating a sharp sound of wind.
"Girl, we have no grudges against each other, why do you have to be so harsh?"
Gu Yang dodged while speaking with a smile, a hint of ridicule in his tone.
The woman snorted coldly, and attacked Gu Yang with her claws like a storm.
Her movements were swift and brutal, each claw aimed directly at Gu Yang's vital points.
Gu Yang moved around the room as if strolling in the garden, easily avoiding her attacks.
"Since you won't talk nicely, don't blame me for being rude."
As Gu Yang spoke, he took out the Soul Devouring Blade from his storage ring.
After being soaked in his spiritual power, a faint black aura is now wrapped around the blade, as if it can devour all life.
When the woman saw this, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.
She suddenly crossed her claws and tore at Gu Yang's chest fiercely!
Gu Yang was not in a hurry. He raised the Soul-Devouring Blade and chopped it hard at her claws.
"Qiang——!"
The sharp claws collided with the soul-devouring blade, splashing a dazzling spark that illuminated the entire room.
The woman's claws were slightly numb from the shock, but she did not retreat. Instead, she attacked Gu Yang even more frantically.
While resisting, Gu Yang smiled and said, "Girl, your claws are quite tough. However, you can't defeat me with brute force alone."
When the woman heard this, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
She suddenly jumped up, and her claws grabbed towards Gu Yang's head like an eagle!
Gu Yang dodged her attack easily with a flash of his body, then swung his knife back and slashed at her waist.
The woman stepped back hastily, but the Soul-Eating Blade still grazed the corner of her clothes, leaving behind a piece of torn cloth.
A patch of white skin was revealed around her waist, but it was quickly covered by scales.
Hu Qing stood aside and watched with great interest.
He suddenly said, "Brother Gu, stop playing around and make this a quick fight. We still have serious business to attend to."
Gu Yang heard this and nodded: "Okay, since Ah Qing has said so, let's end it."
After he finished speaking, the Soul Devouring Blade in his hand suddenly burst out with a strong black light.
Seeing this, the woman was shocked and hurriedly stepped back, but it was too late.
Gu Yang's figure appeared in front of her like a ghost, with the Soul-Devouring Blade pointing directly at her throat.
However, the woman's figure suddenly became like a ghost, lightly avoiding his attack, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Humph!"
The masked woman snorted coldly, her voice filled with disdain and anger.
She swung her claws suddenly, and a cloud of black-gray smoke gushed out from her fingertips.
The smoke was mixed with a thick smell of death, like a call from hell, rushing towards Gu Yang.
Gu Yang's heart trembled, and he quickly took a few steps back to avoid the strange smoke.
He could feel that the power contained in the smoke was extraordinary. If he was contaminated by it, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this moment, Hu Qing snorted coldly, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A strong spiritual power burst out from his body, turning into a gust of wind, blowing away the black and gray smoke.
However, when the smoke cleared, the masked woman had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a faint fragrance and a lingering smell of death in the air.
"Damn it, ran away?"
Gu Yang put away his sword, glanced around, and there was a hint of unwillingness in his tone.
Hu Qing walked up to him, frowning, "This woman is not simple. The smoke just now was not an attack at all, but a trick to deceive the eyes.
She should have planned her escape long ago."
Gu Yang nodded, his eyes falling on a shadow under the window of the room.
There, a series of shallow footprints were left on the ground, and there were traces of black and gray on the edges of the footprints, as if they had been corroded.
He squatted down, reached out and gently touched the mark, and felt a tingling pain at his fingertips.
"This death energy... doesn't seem like the method used by ordinary evil cultivators."
Gu Yang said in a low voice, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
Hu Qing also squatted down and carefully examined the mark. After a moment, his face became serious:
“This deathly aura carries a chilling force, mixed with some moisture.
This woman's background is probably more complicated than we imagined."
Gu Yang stood up, dusted off his hands, and looked deep in his eyes:
"No matter who she is, since she dared to act right under our noses, we will never give up easily.
We must find out her background as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Hu Qing nodded, a cold look flashing in his eyes: "That's right, but since she's escaped, she probably won't show up again in the short term. We have to start from somewhere else."
The two looked at each other and had something in mind.
