I manage female characters in all the heavens.

"Oh dear, that's fierce." She took a light step back, dodging the second claw that followed. "It's quite strong, but a bit slow."

The Yin Wind Demon Mother's face grew even darker. With a sway of her body, she lunged at Nie Xiaoqian like a cannonball, unleashing both claws in a fierce attack like a storm!

She is incredibly fast, and her attacks are accompanied by a piercing shriek that tears through the air; each claw strike is powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!

Moreover, her attack methods are not limited to claws. She has a long tail behind her buttocks, which she occasionally lashes out like a steel whip, sweeping towards Nie Xiaoqian's lower body with a whooshing sound!

The tables, chairs, candlesticks, and stone pillars inside the hall were all smashed during the confrontation between the two!

This was merely a normal physical attack by the Yin Wind Demon Mother as a tiger demon; it was completely devoid of any magic!

Gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air!

Nie Xiaoqian moved through the storm of attacks like a ghost, each step perfectly avoiding the Yin Wind Ghost Mother's attacks.

She even had the leisure to comment: "Hmm, the angle of that claw was good, but the force wasn't concentrated enough, and the power was scattered."

"That tail swing was alright, but the opening was too big; when the tail swept out, his chest was completely exposed..."

"Tsk tsk, you're all brawn and no brains, your martial arts skills are mediocre at best."

The more the Yin Wind Demon Mother fought, the more frightened and enraged she became!

She has roamed freely for hundreds of miles around for decades, and no human has ever been able to be so composed in front of her!

This seemingly frail little girl was as slippery as an eel; his attacks couldn't even touch a corner of her clothes!

What's even more infuriating is that she had the leisure to make sarcastic remarks!

"Shut up!" Yin Feng Gui Mu roared, abruptly stopping her attack and retreating several feet to create distance between herself and Nie Xiaoqian.

She took a deep breath, and her demonic aura surged suddenly, spreading out a terrifying aura as if it were tangible!

"Little girl, do you really think that's all I'm capable of?" she said coldly, forming a complex hand seal. "Let me show you how a real demon fights!"

As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of cyan wind blades suddenly condensed around her!

Chapter 169 Is this even a person? Clearly, it's an unparalleled demon!

The wind blades spun rapidly, emitting a sharp whistling sound, swirling and hovering around her like a small storm!

With a wave of her hand, dozens of wind blades shot towards "Nie Xiaoqian" like a torrential rain!

Nie Xiaoqian's gaze sharpened, and with a swift movement, she dodged the first wave of wind blades at the last possible moment.

But under the control of the Yin Wind Demon Mother, those wind blades seemed to have a life of their own, spinning in the air and attacking her again!

At the same time, the figure of the Yin Wind Demon Mother suddenly disappeared from the spot!

Invisibility!

Nie Xiaoqian smiled and calmly weaved through the wind blades, using her eyes and ears to sense the surrounding movements.

Suddenly, she took a sharp step to the left!

A sharp claw, imbued with a dense demonic aura, swept past the spot where she had been standing, carving five deep furrows into the ground!

The figure of the Yin Wind Demon Mother appeared from the void, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes—she could actually detect her invisible attack?

"Wind blade plus invisibility, it'll do." Nie Xiaoqian commented while dodging the wind blades that came at her again, "But, this kind of trick is only good for scaring ordinary people, it's not enough for me."

The Yin Wind Demon Mother's face darkened completely.

She felt she had been humiliated like never before.

This human woman, who was clearly just an ordinary person, was completely unharmed by his storm of attacks, and even seemed to be handling the situation with ease!

How could the arrogant Yin Wind Demon Mother tolerate this?

"You're asking for it!"

She gritted her teeth and spat out three words, then clasped her hands together abruptly, her demonic aura instantly coalescing!

After using magic, the battle escalated immediately. Various spells that the tiger demon had developed by combining wind blades, invisibility, wind hammers, and wind pressure with her own tiger demon instincts were frequently used, and their power was far greater than her martial arts skills.

The building where they were was quickly destroyed, and even though Hong Ji was just watching, she was forced to run around by the aftershocks, her face full of terror.

Even so, the Ghost Mother was still unable to harm "Nie Xiaoqian" in the slightest. Nie Xiaoqian was only dodging and did not fight back at all.

Finally, the Demon Mother, enraged, unleashed her ultimate attack.

The air inside the hall seemed to have been sucked out, and an invisible sense of oppression made it almost impossible for Hong Ji, who was hiding in the corner, to breathe.

Before the Yin Wind Demon Mother, a huge ball of blue wind was rapidly gathering!

The core of that wind cluster was the size of a millstone, extremely condensed, spinning at high speed, emitting a shrill whistle like the wailing of ghosts, and containing a terrifying power that could level a small mountain!

"Wind—howl—break!"

The Yin Wind Demon Mother pushed forward with both hands, and the huge ball of wind crashed down on "Nie Xiaoqian" like a meteorite!

Nie Xiaoqian's pupils paused slightly, and she put away her nonchalant expression a little.

This attack was quite powerful, even stronger than Yan Nantian's ultimate sword technique during the final battle. It wouldn't be worth it to take it head-on.

Demonic power and magical power are extraordinary powers, as is true qi. As the strongest in the world of Peerless Twins, Yan Nantian is certainly far from invincible in this world overrun by demons, but he is not someone that any Tom, Dick, or Harry demon can compare to.

Aside from her strong physical body and decent magical destructive power, this Yin Wind Ghost Mother is quite ordinary in other aspects, with a serious imbalance in her abilities. If she were to encounter Yan Nantian, she would probably be embroidered to death by him with his profound martial arts skills.

She swayed and dodged to the side.

But the aftershocks of that gust of wind covered such a vast area that they enveloped the entire hall!

boom--!!!

A deafening roar!

The whirlwind slammed into the ground, blasting a hole several meters in diameter into the bluestone pavement!

Gravel and dirt flew everywhere, and the entire hall shook violently!

Suddenly, the ground collapsed!

Below the main hall was a huge hollow!

Nie Xiaoqian, Yin Feng Gui Mu, and Hong Ji, who was hiding in the corner, all fell downwards along with the collapsing ground!

Whoosh—!

Gravel and dust fell in a flurry, making dull thuds on the ground.

Nie Xiaoqian adjusted her posture in mid-air and landed lightly on a relatively flat stone slab. She patted the dust off her body and looked around.

This is a huge underground space.

It stands three or four zhang tall, and its circumference is over ten zhang, clearly indicating that it was carved out by human hands.

Numerous niches and recesses have been carved out of the four walls, which are densely filled with various items.

There were books, rows of bamboo slips, jade bottles and jars, rusty swords and weapons, and some strange objects whose purpose was unclear.

In the very center of the underground space stands a stone sculpture that is over three zhang tall.

It was a portrait of a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk, and with a kind face.

The statue's craftsmanship isn't particularly exquisite, but it possesses a transcendent quality, as if it's overlooking this space.

Scattered on the ground around the statue are some decayed prayer cushions and fragments of incense burners, indicating that this place was once an important location.

Nie Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, her gaze sweeping over the walls full of books and objects, and the smile on her lips gradually widened.

"Tsk tsk, I never expected this! There are actually good things hidden beneath this wretched place!"

Perhaps the Flowing Cloud Sect's legacy is contained within these ancient texts!

Just then, an angry roar came from above: "Little brat! I'll take your life!"

The Yin Wind Demon Mother also fell from the collapse, landing steadily on a pile of ruins.

She looked around at the surroundings, then glanced at the walls covered with books and objects, and was first stunned, then a look of wild joy flashed in her eyes!

"A treasure from the Flowing Cloud Sect? They actually have something like this!" She licked her lips.

She had lived here for fifty years and had no idea that such a place existed beneath her feet!

Clearly, this must have been the original treasure room of the Liuyun Sect.

The Black Mountain Demon only destroyed the Flowing Cloud Sect back then, but he didn't care about the sect's treasures at all. He just casually took away the things that were on the surface and did not carry out a thorough looting.

However, the Yin Wind Demon Mother, who later occupied this place, assumed that the Black Mountain Demon had already plundered the area and did not bother to dig three feet into the ground to check, thus allowing this place to be completely overlooked.

Decades later, a battle brought this place back to light, a twist of fate.

Of course, whether it was Nie Xiaoqian's fate or the Ghost Mother's fate, only God knows.

But "Nie Xiaoqian" said that this was undoubtedly her destiny, and if anyone had any objections, they could talk to her about it, given her 5,600 years of cultivation.

The Ghost Mother of Yin Wind looked at Nie Xiaoqian, her eyes filled with greed and murderous intent: "Little girl, everything here is mine! As for you, you can stay here forever and be my dinner!"

As she spoke, she formed hand seals, and her demonic energy surged once more, preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack!

Nie Xiaoqian sighed, looked up at the Yin Wind Ghost Mother, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes: "Enough."

"Huh?" The Ghost Mother was taken aback.

"I've been letting you have your way and haven't fought back because I'm quite interested in your magic and want to see just how capable you are."

As Nie Xiaoqian spoke, she slowly raised her right hand, "But now..."

She glanced at the walls covered with books and objects: "You've broken all my treasures, what am I going to do?"

Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly turned icy cold!

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from her body!

The aura was so strong that it seemed to permeate the entire underground space, causing the air to freeze!

The expression on Yin Feng Gui Mu's face froze.

She felt an incomprehensible sense of oppression.

That was an aura far more terrifying than anything she had ever seen; even a thousand-year-old demon was nothing compared to it!

It was as if the person standing in front of her was not a young human woman, but a dormant volcano that had suddenly awakened!

"What...what are you?!" Her voice trembled slightly.
