Chapter 975: Lying in Wait

“Ohoho… Looks like I’m pretty famous…”

The emergence of this powerful aura gave both Jiang Xiangyang and Xun Han a sense of asphyxiation.

A woman passed through the black mist and made her way toward them.

Her skin was fair and smooth, and her features were delicate and seductive. Her black hair flowed all the way down to her waist, and her upper body was completely naked, revealing a pair of gigantic melons. She wore a grass-woven dress around her slender waist, revealing a pair of long, sexy legs that made the onlookers’ thoughts run wild.

An Lin swallowed silently as he looked on from the shadows.

There was no mistaking it! That was the familiar Zombie Goddess!

Aside from the fact that her aura was more powerful, there was no different.

Chills ran down the spines of Jiang Xiangyang and Xun Han at the sight of the seductive Zombie Goddess. They didn’t dare to make a move, in fear of being slain by the Zombie Goddess.

The Zombie Goddess chuckled seductively at the sight of the two petrified humans. “Ohohoho… You didn’t see this coming, did you? You thought you had set up a trap for my subordinate? What a joke! Everything was planned by me to lure you out! Changbai Mountain is not a place for you two to wreak havoc at!”

An Lin thought about it for a moment before deciding that it was time for him to make a grand entrance.

It’s ironic how both sides thought they were laying traps for one another when yours truly is around here.

He was just about to move when a burst of hearty laughter erupted from afar.

“Hahahaha… Changbai Mountain Zombie Goddess, today is your death day!”

A pillar of golden light imbued with the power of pure yang fell from the sky before shining upon the Zombie Goddess’ black mist. All of the black mist instantly melted away as if they were snow and ice under the scorching sun.

Boom!

A daoist priest with bushy brows and large eyes descended, causing the ground to tremor as he did so.

The Zombie Goddess’ face turned pale with fright. “It’s you! The number one cultivator of the Hua Nation, the Sect Leader of the Shangqing Sect, You Mu!”

“Oh? I didn’t think I would be so renowned to be remembered by such a beauty.” You Mu seemed a little pleased with himself, but his expression was quite placid.

An Lin was just about to spring into action, but he faltered again upon seeing this development.

What the f*ck?! Was there no end to this? Was this just going to keep escalating as each side unveiled more and more powerful cultivators?

“Heh… You’re the first Return to Void Stage mighty figure on Earth, so of course I know about you. I just didn’t think that you would come here in person to bully a weak woman like me…” A pitiful expression appeared on the Zombie Goddess’ face at the sight of You Mu.

You Mu harrumphed coldly. “Zombie Goddess, you have been doing nothing but evil deeds on Changbai Mountain. It’s time for you to pay the price!”

An aggrieved expression appeared on the Zombie Goddess’ face. “What evil deeds have I been doing? Ever since I progressed to the Soul Formation Stage, I’ve been doing nothing but good deeds. I haven’t killed anyone unless it was in rightful self-defense or retaliation! I’ve been a very good zombie!”

You Mu’s lips twitched, and he couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words as he hurled a talisman toward the Zombie Goddess.

“Take this! Golden Light Destruction Seal!”

Boom!

A golden light was hurtled toward the Zombie Goddess like a sharp sword.

The Zombie Goddess raised her slender arms to create a series of frosty barriers before her.

Boom boom boom…

The golden light crashed through the frosty barriers with an unstoppable force before crashing into the Zombie Goddess’ lower abdomen, leaving a trail of ice shards in its wake.

“Pfff…” The Zombie Goddess threw up a mouthful of blue blood as her body tumble to the ground.

Even though she had increased her power at a very quick rate and was now a powerful being at the Soul Formation Final Stage, there was still too much of a disparity between a Soul Formation Stage cultivator and a Return to Void Stage cultivator, so she had no chance of winning this battle.

Not only that, but even to escape was just a distant dream.

She had set up this flawless trap, only to lure the most powerful being on Earth here. She was in complete despair.

Her role had reversed from huntress to prey in the blink of an eye.

“I’ll kill you!” The Zombie Goddess let loose an enraged cry as a dark blue energy erupted from her body.

The power of extreme frost burst forth as a layer of frost appeared on all of the trees within a radius of over a kilometer. The closer one approached her, the more biting the chill became.

However, You Mu was like a walking furnace as he made his way toward the Zombie Goddess. The power of extreme frost melted around him, unable to deter his advance in the slightest.

The Zombie Goddess made a seal with her hands, upon which the dark blue energy around her materialized into a spear that shot forth toward You Mu.

You Mu’s expression remained unchanged as two golden light enveloped his palms, and he gripped the air toward the oncoming spear with his bare hands.

Boom!

The spear was imbued with the power to freeze all things, and You Mu was knocked back several dozen meters before the spear was finally vanquished by his golden palms.

“Ding Dong!

“Detected that the host is in close proximity to the Mist of Extreme Cold, now assigning the mission below:

“Absorb the Mist of Extreme Cold from the Zombie Goddess via mouth to mouth absorption.

“Mission Success: Receive stage one of the Yin God cultivation method.

“Mission Failure: Become frozen solid for a year.

“Note: the time limit for completing this mission is ten minutes. The Yin God cultivation method is extremely rare and powerful, so please value this opportunity.”

An Lin was ecstatic.

It’s here! The mission is finally here!

He was worried initially that he had missed out on the mission once and that it wouldn’t be available to him anymore.

However, after the Zombie Goddess unleashed her signature power, the mission became available to him again! This was a rare opportunity, and he couldn’t let slip again!

You Mu made a hand seal, and a sword constructed from golden sigils appeared in his hand, from which the radiant power of yang erupted. “This is the final move. There has been no one on this Earth that has been able to block my Evil-Slaying True Yang Sword. For you to die by this technique is an honor of sorts.”

A miserable smile appeared on the Zombie Goddess’ face. “There’s no need to waste time with meaningless words like that. Just do it.”

She knew that she wasn’t going to be able to live past today. She had known this ever since You Mu made his appearance.

“Die!” The golden sword shot forth, transforming into a streak of dazzling golden light.

The Evil-Slaying True Yang Sword contained an extremely terrifying power that caused even the space around it to tremble and warp.

The Zombie Goddess took a deep breath to prepare herself for what was to be the final moment of her life.

However, right at this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared before her.

The Zombie Goddess’ eyes widened, and before she had even figured out what was going on, the white-robed man launched a mundane punch toward the golden sigil sword.

Boom!

An earth-shattering boom erupted.

Right before You Mu’s astonished eyes, his Evil-Slaying True Yang Sword, which should have been unstoppable, was instantly vanquished by a single fist.

When a golden light imbued with the power of the earth erupted, You Mu’s body was caught in the ensuing explosion of energy, and he was knocked flying for over a hundred meters.

His gaze focused on the man who had just appeared and incredulity surfaced on his face as a certain memory sprang to mind. “It’s you!”

The Zombie Goddess was also dumbstruck. This man was able to knock back You Mu with a single punch. He really was extremely powerful!

“Thank you for saving me, Senior!”

The Zombie Goddess bowed her voluptuous upper body in gratitude as she spoke in a seductive voice.

She didn’t know who this man was, but the reality was that she had been saved. This man had saved her from certain death, and just that alone was enough for her to be extremely grateful toward him.

The Zombie Goddess was ecstatic.

It looked like she was the huntress after all!
