A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 573 Peerless Sword
[Host, well done! We finally stole the seeds of the Binding Vine. Let's see how that bastard Necro threatens us now!] The system played celebratory shots and cheers at just the right moment.

"How can this be called stealing? This is called taking it back openly and honestly!" Shen Tang had just successfully escaped from the rebel army's headquarters.

That's right, she used the cloned card to redeem "telekinesis"!
She was excitedly preparing to return home when a sudden static crackled in her mind, followed by a cold, mechanical voice:
[An urgent mission is now issued to the host: Please immediately proceed to the Vampire Forbidden Land and find Necro! Mission reward: A peerless sword capable of piercing the physical defenses of a Yuan Beast-level orc, with no usage restrictions! Failure to complete the mission will trigger a special penalty!]

[Note: This is a single-player scenario and must be completed independently by the player!]

The system's voice, which had been cheerful before, was now just a emotionless mechanical tone, mixed with a crackling electrical current, and faintly conveyed a sense of urgency that was hard to ignore.

Shen Tang was completely stunned. She had just escaped one trap, and now she was walking right into another?
"Why would there be a penalty for failing a mission? Didn't you say before that there was no penalty mechanism?"

The system responded coldly, "[This is a special mandatory task. Please complete it as soon as possible! Otherwise, electric shock punishment will be initiated!]"

Helpless, Shen Tang could only grit her teeth and turn back the way she came.

……

At this moment, in the forbidden area of ​​the vampires, more than a dozen men in black had surrounded the man dressed in black armor, their murderous aura clearly indicating that they had come with ill intentions.

Necro sneered, his expression full of disdain.

After he wiped them all out last time, these people still dared to chase after us. They are simply overestimating themselves!
"You think you can kill me?" Before he finished speaking, he was already fighting with the orcs who rushed forward.

These men in black were all powerful tenth-tier orcs, capable of easily overthrowing an empire in the outside world. But they were still no match for the Yuan-tier orcs.

Necro's injuries had long since healed, and killing them was as easy as killing chickens.

In the blink of an eye, all the men in black had fallen to the ground.

But just then, another group of people rushed out from behind.

Just as Necro was about to make another move, he suddenly caught sight of a graceful and beautiful figure running towards him from the front of the crowd.

Even though the female was wearing a heavy cloak, it couldn't hide her exquisite and beautiful figure, which gave him a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

As the wind blew, her cloak fluttered slightly, vaguely revealing her delicate and fair face.

It was Shen Tang, the despicable thief from that night!

Although Necro arrived in time that night and repelled the thieves, the two leaders escaped. Unexpectedly, they dared to come back again!

To my surprise, she still harbored wicked intentions!

Necro gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury. This female was indeed hypocritical and despicable, a liar!

Didn't she keep saying she never did it?
He wanted to see how she could try to argue this time!

The woman opposite him, upon seeing him, clung to him like a lifeline, crying out in a delicate voice, "Necro, save me! They're going to kill me!"

Necro glanced at the men in black chasing after her. They were clearly not accomplices, but both were thieves who had come to steal.

He scoffed, "You brought it on yourself!"

He wished the cunning female would be killed by the man in black, saving him the trouble of doing it himself.

But then... hearing her cry out his name, a shameful pity welled up inside him, and certain images flashed through his mind. In the end, he rushed forward with a grim face, pulled her into his arms, and casually dealt with all the men in black.

"Necro, thank you, you saved my life."

The woman hugged his waist, moved, and her familiar, alluring fragrance wafted from her body. But the next second, her hand suddenly transformed into a sharp claw, viciously stabbing towards Necro's back!
"Uh!"

Although the tenth-tier orc's all-out attack did not directly penetrate his protective barrier, such a close-range attack still caused him considerable damage.

In particular, something was embedded in her claws, which caused him to suddenly lose all strength, and black, rotting flesh quickly appeared on the wound on his back.

Having landed a successful blow, the woman quickly withdrew and retreated.

Only her red lips, curled into a smile, were visible beneath her hood. "You've fallen for it again, Necro!"

"you……"

Necro's forehead veins bulged, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

He was shocked to see several more men in black appear behind the female.

So they were in cahoots?!
She lied to him from beginning to end!

……

Shen Tang used the system to teleport to the vicinity of the ruins and heard the sound of fierce fighting not far away. She rushed over and saw several men in black besieging Necro.

Necro was already seriously injured, his body covered in wounds, his robes torn and stained with blood.

The most fatal wound was the deep, bone-revealing gash on his back. Although it did not kill him, it bled profusely, the wound was dark red, and the toxins were constantly eroding the surrounding intact flesh.

For vampires, blood loss is a major taboo!
As he lost blood, Necro's face grew increasingly pale, and his aura weakened rapidly. If this continued, he would be no match for that group.

Although Shen Tang had a blood feud with Necro, she was also unwilling for him, as the last vampire, to perish.

She quickly gathered her supernatural power, and the powerful earth energy triggered a massive, overwhelming force, causing the earth to tremble, twist, and deform, and mountains to shift!

The group of men in black were instantly forced back several kilometers away.

Several sharp spikes rose from the ground, and a man in black was caught off guard and was pierced through the abdomen on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, countless spiritual blades pierced through the air, leaving bloody marks on their bodies.

"Kill that female!"

As if receiving a command, the men in black rushed towards Shen Tang.

Shen Tang was forced to fight four or five level-ten orcs alone, and soon she was covered in wounds and her face was pale. A deep wound that exposed the bone was cut on her arm, but she only frowned and took the opportunity to stab the approaching enemy.

After a fierce battle, Shen Tang finally defeated all the men in black.

Ignoring her own battered and bruised body, she rushed towards Necro, whose injuries were even more severe, "Are you alright...?" But the next second!
Claws, imbued with chilling killing intent, ripped her body apart.

tear-

From his left shoulder to his waist, several bloody wounds appeared instantly, and his ribs and internal organs were even faintly visible, as if half of his skin had been peeled off.

Even half of her face was a bloody mess, revealing stark white bones. Her clothes were torn and covered in blood, transforming her into a terrifying half-human, half-ghost!
Shen Tang's breathing suddenly stopped.

The blow came so fast and so fiercely that she didn't even have time to feel the pain.

A few seconds later, an indescribable pain swept through her body, and she staggered to the ground, too weak to even get up.

"Enough! Stop acting! You've been playing me for fools time and time again. Is it fun?" Necro roared, his eyes bloodshot, his neck red and veins bulging.

He only saw that this despicable female had left for a moment, then returned dressed in different clothes. She's quite the actress; did she really think he wouldn't recognize her?!

Shen Tang was in so much pain that she couldn't even make a sound. Her face was blank and pale, and her pupils gradually became unfocused and lost their way.

Necro showed no mercy, grabbing her by the neck and lifting her up.

He saw the female's eyes like a river bursting its banks, brimming with tears, perhaps from the intense pain; it was a purely instinctive bodily reaction, and she just kept crying.

Large tears streamed down her pale, blood-stained face, making her red, hazy eyes all the more pitiful. But Necro felt only disgust.

Such hypocrisy, it's disgusting!

Necro roughly pulled Shen Tang to his mouth, bit through her neck, and greedily sucked the gushing blood, wishing he could suck her dry!

Blood with healing properties is an excellent tonic for vampires.

His injuries healed rapidly, and even the toxins in his back were completely expelled, restoring him to his peak condition!
Shen Tang felt like she was about to die.

The excruciating pain and dizziness from blood loss caused his consciousness to blur.

The system was nowhere to be found, so she could only barely take out a bottle of recovery potion from the system's inventory and shakily feed it into her mouth with her still-functioning hand.

After regaining some strength, she trembled as she used her healing abilities to treat her terrible injuries.

Despite its powerful healing properties, the intense pain is difficult to erase.

Necro glanced at her indifferently, his gaze as cold as ice, then dragged her straight to the dungeon.

Several men in black remained in the dungeon, but Necro easily killed them all.

But all the blood droplets in the forbidden area have disappeared.

Necro searched all the corpses but found nothing.

The crystallized blood beads left by our ancestors, the last treasure of the vampire clan, have been stolen!

He inherited it from his ancestors and has guarded it since childhood, but today he fell into a trap and was robbed!

Enraged, Necro questioned Shen Tang sharply, "Where is the blood bead? Hand it over!"

Shen Tang had no idea what was wrong with him!

Necro repeatedly injured them, this time even nearly killing her. The last vestige of guilt Shen Tang felt towards him vanished completely.

Once she had fully regained her strength, she pushed him away abruptly.

Shen Tang's face was still pale, her voice still weak, but her tone was becoming increasingly cold.

"I'll say it one last time, I didn't take your blood beads."

"I... owe you nothing anymore!"

Today, she has completely repaid the guilt she felt for being deceived!

Announcement of the disbandment of the reader group.

I created this book club group to connect more closely with readers who love this book and to maintain a harmonious and friendly discussion environment. But now, the atmosphere in the group has long since changed, becoming chaotic and disruptive to my writing process due to the actions of some small groups.

I have decided to disband the group chat. Please do not ask me for the reason. I just hope that everyone can focus on the work itself.

Please note that the author is not an early childhood educator; my job only involves two points.

1. A minimum of 4000 words must be updated per day, with the time determined by the author according to their writing habits.

2: Any additional chapters or delays due to other matters will be explained in the "Author's Note"/comments section. Chapters owed on day A of a certain month will be made up on day B according to the word count. There will never be any issue of delayed or unupdated chapters.

I have always had a clear conscience and don't need to explain anything.

The final stages of writing every book are always very difficult. I'm a clumsy person, and sometimes it takes me two or three hours to write a thousand words by repeatedly revising a single plot point. But even if I stay up until six or seven in the morning, I will still finish writing the required number of words for the day because I don't want to let down the readers who truly love this book.

I've mentioned many times before that I'm a night owl, and my update time is usually very late. Please don't stay up late to wait for updates; for your own health and well-being, just read it after you've had some sleep.

As for those who slander me for delaying updates or failing to update, please provide evidence.

If you can't provide evidence, then it's my turn to present mine—the publication date and word count of every chapter on "Author's Assistant" are clearly displayed. I'll post screenshots of the updates in the comments section later. If there's ever a day when I don't update or the word count is insufficient and there's no follow-up update, I'll make it up to you with a thousand chapters.

Comments that lack evidence, spread rumors, incite conflict, or provoke war will be deleted the first time, and banned outright the second time.

Thank you. I'm very tired. I just want to finish writing this book in peace and quiet. Please, some people, stop bothering me.

The "Author's Note" section is too long to fit in the chapter, so I've included it here. Sorry for the inconvenience. This section will be updated to 3000 words later.

There's one more chapter coming up, it'll be very late, everyone go to sleep now and read it tomorrow morning~
(P.S.: One more thing about drafts: The bookstore has a strict requirement of 4000 words per day, but there is no set update time. Experienced authors have the habit of having drafts and updating them regularly, but this depends on each author's writing habits and there is no strict requirement.)

Besides the fact that my update speed is indeed very slow, usually taking one or two hours to write 1000 words, and the limited number of words I can update each day, making it difficult to save up drafts.

Another reason is that I adjust the details or parts of the plot in each chapter as the story and my ideas change, or based on reader feedback. Saving drafts in advance would fix the content of subsequent chapters, and revising later would be much more time-consuming and laborious, so I can't save drafts. Occasionally, if I encounter real-life issues that cause significant fluctuations in update times, I will explain this in advance in the "Author's Note."
(But no matter what, I will complete the daily word count requirement. If I fail to do so, I will make up for it later. I will not delay any updates.)

I'm a slowpoke with low energy, so I won't be making any more explanations like this. If you like reading, great; if not, there are plenty of other great books in the bookstore. Read a few dozen more and you'll be well-fed. Please stop focusing your criticism on me.
