The saint's body was bent over so that she had difficulty breathing, her toes were spread apart and twitching... The bright red nail polish was very conspicuous in the dark night.

The horse-faced man's long tongue rested on the saintess's snow-white shoulder, twisting and writhing like a tentacle. Thick saliva dripped down.

"You beast! What are you doing? Why are you grabbing me instead of Liu Ruyan?" The Crimson Moon Saintess was utterly bewildered, and at that moment, another horse-faced man pressed himself against her.

Two muscular, Golden Core cultivators with horse-faced faces were like two sandwiches filled with cheese, and the Crimson Moon Saintess was completely unable to break free...

"You beast, let me go. Go and catch Liu Ruyan!"

"Insolence! I command... Ah!! Oh!"

The Crimson Moon Saintess screamed in agony. Qin Rufeng could even hear the cracking and popping sounds of her joints twisting, which was utterly terrifying.

The Holy Maiden was captured and subdued, unable to escape for the time being. Although Qin Rufeng's plan succeeded, he was not arrogant enough to believe that he could kill three Golden Core Realm cultivators simply by unleashing the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Formation.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, she summoned the giant sword from the Sword Tomb, preparing to use her sword control technique to escape from this place.

However, just as he leaped onto the sword, a loud "thud!" was heard, and the giant sword was instantly overturned... During his descent, Qin Rufeng used "Cat Turn" to maintain his balance, and then used Lotus Steps to hover in the air.

Suddenly, a deep red object emerged from the ground; it was this object that had interrupted his sword control.

In the blink of an eye, the tentacle retracted back into the ground...

Qin Rufeng sensed something was wrong and immediately used a side kick to the ice lotus to dodge. Just as she dodged, red tentacles shot out from where she had been standing.

Chapter 141: Even with all my efforts, I still can’t win

These tentacles move incredibly fast; if you're not careful, you'll be pierced right through.

The tentacles retracted back into the ground, then immediately burst forth again to attack. Qin Rufeng could only dodge continuously.

It was obvious that the Crimson Moon Saintess was behind this. After several close calls, Ru Feng found himself forced back to the Crimson Moon Saintess's side.

At this moment, the saintess had shaken off the horse-faced man who had captured her. Her body was suspended in mid-air, supported entirely by her "tail".

Just like the snake woman, her body was off the ground, with her thick, dark red, python-like tentacles and tails piercing into the ground to support her body.

She bent her knees and curled up, her legs spread wide. Her two snow-white feet tightly gripped her tail.

The saintess looked somewhat disheveled. She was covered in sticky sweat, and her hair was wet and messy. Her snow-white body was covered with red handprints and her short, curly hair.

Even so, she calmly smiled and said to Qin Rufeng, "Do you really think you can escape? But it is indeed commendable that you have managed to do this."

"However, your clever tricks will eventually backfire on you. As the saying goes, an eye for an eye. There are some things I don't care about, but you probably can't handle."

"So, are you ready to accept your punishment?"

Taking advantage of the villainous Crimson Moon Saintess's talkativeness, Qin Rufeng swiftly unleashed the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix technique. Utilizing the existing sword box and the Azure Moon Hidden Dragon Sword, along with the continuously summoned fragments of swords, she had already begun to assemble the Hundred Birds Sword Formation.

However, there are still too few swords...

Qin Rufeng didn't have time to summon more swords, so he could only unleash all of his remaining swords and three foxfires.

Although she tried to control the angle of the sword's trajectory to avoid the saintess's iron umbrella, the opponent was able to deflect the sword by swinging her tentacle tails.

The tentacle tail could extend and retract at will, which was quite bizarre. Although the surface was soft, it was incredibly tough, and even sharp blades could not damage it. The tip of the tail seemed to be a hard keratinous layer, as sharp as a spearhead.

Qin Rufeng tried every move but couldn't harm the Crimson Moon Saintess. The Saintess, meanwhile, slowly approached, and the two horse-faced men seemed to have recovered as well.

Although they looked a bit weak, they could still relentlessly pester like mad dogs.

Qin Rufeng's spiritual energy was also almost exhausted. In desperation, she could only make one last desperate attempt. She used entropy energy to unleash the [Mysterious Yin Thunder] technique that she had been unable to master.

This is a spell personally taught by Shen Yuchen, the sect leader of the Jade Maiden Sect. Ru Feng had already mastered the technique to a high degree, but had never succeeded in using it.

She had long considered using entropy energy to circulate her meridians, but she was unsure of the consequences and dared not use entropy energy extensively within the sect.

However, at this moment, we have no choice but to take a gamble!

Qin Rufeng formed hand seals and circulated her entropy energy. Black mist immediately swirled around her, causing her long hair to flutter in the wind.

Facing the charging horse-faced demon, Qin Rufeng stepped to the side, one hand forming a hand seal to guard his dantian, the other hand pointing his sword forward...

In an instant, black arcs of light burst forth from her fingertips, like jet-black lightning with a surface flowing with bright mercury.

The arc of light was accompanied by a low rumble of thunder. A powerful wind instantly spread outwards, causing houses to collapse and vegetation to wither.

Qin Rufeng witnessed firsthand how, when the black arc of light struck the horse-faced man's chest, his body instantly swelled and then collapsed. Blood gushed from his seven orifices, followed by white smoke.

The massive body immediately went limp and lay motionless on the ground. Blood gushed out continuously, quickly forming a pool beneath him.

That horse-faced demon must be dead. What a magnificent Xuan Yin Thunder! Truly worthy of being the sect leader's secret technique!

However, this move came at a great cost. Qin Rufeng felt excruciating pain throughout his body, as if he were being slowly sliced ​​to death.

However, the Xuan Yin Lightning also gave her a glimmer of hope for victory. In a flash, she rushed to the Crimson Moon Saintess's side!

With another booming sound, a black, gleaming arc of light erupted from Qin Rufeng's fingertips once more. Unexpectedly, the Crimson Moon Saintess used her tentacle tail to coil around another horse-faced man, using him as a shield to block the attack of the Profound Yin Lightning.

The second horse-faced man also collapsed to the ground, and Qin Rufeng was in unbearable pain.

However, only the Crimson Moon Saintess remains now. Judging from her reaction, she is clearly afraid of the Profound Yin Lightning. As long as… as long as she can still use it…

However, at that moment, several circular magic arrays appeared around Qin Rufeng.

It was similar to the ripples created when she summoned her sword amidst a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. However, these magic arrays were all blood-red, with a pitch-black vortex in the center, like a black hole.

In the blink of an eye, crimson tentacles emerged from the dark vortexes of those ring-shaped magic arrays. These tentacles were covered with gaping maws and sharp teeth.

No matter how good Qin Rufeng's movements were, she couldn't dodge that many. She used Flowing Light and Instant Water to evade, but the magic arrays and black holes followed closely behind.

She tried to swing her sword, but her hand wouldn't obey her commands. Turning her head, she saw that her left arm was being torn apart by several tentacles, like snakes fighting over food.

Moreover, those tentacles weren't just fighting over one arm. Qin Rufeng then looked at his own right arm, which was also gone.

Not only was Erling VIII Wu = Another Guilt!彡Liu like this, her legs and body were also being entangled and devoured by tentacles.

Qin Rufeng really wanted to let out a heart-wrenching, desperate, and miserable wail at this moment... but she held back.

She sensed something was wrong. She had forcibly used the Profound Yin Thunder twice, and every inch of her meridians felt like they were being cut by a knife.

Even the limbs that had already been "eaten" continued to ache. It was a pain that went straight to the bone... far more painful than the tentacles biting.

How can it still hurt if my hand is gone? This pain originating from the meridians is definitely not a phantom limb pain.

Therefore, this must be an illusion. The Crimson Moon Saintess still wants to capture him alive; she is trying to create this terrifying illusion to destroy her own will.

Thinking of this, Qin Rufeng closed his eyes and used entropy energy to activate the Fire Phoenix Seal, igniting the pitch-black fire phoenix wings on his back and dispelling the terrifying illusion.

The Crimson Moon Saintess was first surprised, then burst into laughter, "Beautiful, a beautiful struggle."

"Excellent. The more stubborn and unyielding you are, the more interesting it will be when you become the furnace for nurturing the Xuan Nascent Soul. Begging for mercy now would be boring."

"Keep struggling," the Crimson Moon Saintess laughed. "What you saw just now was an illusion, but I can truly summon the Crimson Moon Divine Miracle. I can also summon the miracle to devour your hands and feet and take you back."

"I'd like to see what tricks you, Liu Ruyan, have up your sleeve to escape from my grasp today."

Qin Rufeng, panting heavily, glared at the Crimson Moon Saintess. Although she was in dire straits, her eyes held only anger, not the slightest fear…

"Damn it! I'll explode at you!" As she spoke, she used a swift light to rush to the Crimson Moon Saintess.

Then, following the cat-like form, he swiftly and decisively performed a golden snake coiling around the Crimson Moon Saintess, locking her in place. Immediately afterward, he spread his five fingers and pressed them against the Saintess's crown, using the Spirit Absorption Technique to directly absorb her spiritual energy.

The Crimson Moon Saintess was also dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Qin Rufeng to come at her like a mad cat and fight to the death.

After several attempts to shake him off failed, he finally used his tentacles to stab at Qin Rufeng, taking a hit himself in the process before forcing Qin Rufeng to leave.

Although Ru Feng absorbed some spiritual energy, the Crimson Moon Saintess's spiritual energy was as vast as the ocean to her. Hoping to defeat her opponent or continuously replenish her own spiritual energy by absorbing it was unrealistic.

It seems this time it really is...

"On her first performance of the zither, she encountered a formidable foe in a desolate village; the Crimson Moon Saintess was as strong as a monster, and even with all her might, she could not defeat her..."

Chapter 142 The Might Makes the Best

Faced with such a desperate situation, Qin Rufeng decided to kill himself again... It was better than falling into the hands of the Crimson Moon Demonic Sect and becoming their most powerful innate cauldron.

But just then, a voice came from behind, "Fairy, I'm back!"

Qin Rufeng turned his head and saw that it was Xia Jinghong.

The newly acquired maidservant has actually returned! Qin Rufeng was quite moved.

And she actually brought someone with her...

The person was dressed in black and wore a black veil. In their hand was... the red flower hairpin that Qin Rufeng had discarded.

She was none other than the owner of the red flower hairpin—the very same powerful figure who had tipped Qin Rufeng three thousand high-grade spirit stones.

She looked at Qin Rufeng and said, "Liu Ruyan, it's all thanks to you leaving this Lingmeng Six Emu IIsan Eight-Fish Hairpin as a marker that I was able to find this place."

"I left the hairpin..." Qin Rufeng recalled when he first arrived at this place. At that time, he suspected that the woman in the black veil was behind all of this, so he threw the hairpin away.

This is a bit awkward. Qin Rufeng used the traditional skills of the Willow Clan to say, "Let's not talk about that for now. That Crimson Moon Saintess is just too strong. You... arrived just in time!"

Then she bowed respectfully to the woman in black veil and said, "I am unable to defeat this powerful enemy on my own. I humbly request your help, fellow Daoist."

The woman in black gauze glanced at Qin Rufeng and then at the Crimson Moon Saintess. She didn't say much, but simply raised her hand and formed a hand seal with her sword fingers.

Then a ball of bluish-white flame appeared at her fingertips, similar to Qin Rufeng's foxfire. She then raised her hand and pointed, sending the flame flying towards the Crimson Moon Saintess.

The Crimson Moon Saintess raised her umbrella to block, and the bluish-white flames collided with the umbrella canopy, instantly bursting into a fireball.

The Crimson Moon Saintess smiled slightly and said, "I thought she was some kind of holy being, but it seems she's nothing special."

However, her smile immediately vanished...

The bursts of fire did not extinguish. Instead, they quickly regrouped and spread rapidly along the umbrella ribs and handle to the hands of the Crimson Moon Saintess, igniting her entire body.

Normally, being engulfed in flames wouldn't be a big deal for a Golden Core cultivator. However, the Crimson Moon Saintess appeared extremely panicked, immediately forming hand seals and chanting incantations in various attempts to extinguish the flames.

Besides using spiritual energy and healing spells, the Crimson Moon Saintess also tried to extinguish the fire by bleeding herself out, and even used ticks and wasps to put it out. However, all her methods were in vain; the flames burned ever brighter and gradually consumed her.

The once arrogant Crimson Moon Saintess was now writhing on the ground, struggling in agony. Her pitiful cries echoed through the night sky.

Even more bizarrely, although she was engulfed in flames and screaming herself hoarse, there was not a trace of burn on her body.

The fire used by the woman in black veil was similar to Qin Rufeng's foxfire. However, after the foxfire ignited its target, the flames would gradually change color. This was because the target had become kindling, and it was the woman herself who was burning.

However, although the fire of the woman in black veil burned brighter and brighter, it did not change color and remained a bluish-white flame.

This fire looks unusual.

Moreover, a single ball of fire was enough to inflict such unbearable pain on the Crimson Moon Saintess, whom Qin Rufeng could not defeat even with all his might.

The Crimson Moon Saintess is at least a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, yet she was able to so easily overpower her. Just who is this powerful figure?

Seeing that victory was assured, Qin Rufeng said to the woman in black veil, "Let her live for now; I still have questions to ask her."

The woman in black veil immediately extinguished the flames. The Crimson Moon Saintess lay on the ground, barely alive.

The woman in black veil said, "Her meridians have all been burned away. If she hadn't cultivated the Nascent Soul stage, she would be dead by now. You can rest assured, she has no ability to resist."

Her meridians were burned? But the Crimson Moon Saintess appeared completely unharmed, not even a single hair on her head. What kind of fire was this?

Qin Rufeng approached the Crimson Moon Saintess and asked, "Why is your Crimson Moon Sect targeting me?"

"Hehe~" The Crimson Moon Saintess chuckled and said, "It's not that I'm targeting you, I just want to capture you."

Qin Rufeng angrily said, "Why are you arresting me? I have already survived from the Crimson Moon Prison."

"Furthermore, although I do not acknowledge any contracts imposed on me by others... from your perspective, Qingyuefang spent at least three hundred high-grade spirit stones."

"No matter what, I am indeed a member of Qingyuefang. Aren't you breaking the rules by doing this?"

"So what?" the Crimson Moon Saintess said nonchalantly. "There is only one rule in this world: the strong prey on the weak."

"Don't you know you're a rare commodity? Not just us, which other power wouldn't want to get their hands on you? Even if they don't keep you for themselves, they can sell you for a high price."

"I..." Qin Rufeng's eyes were filled with anger, but he hesitated to speak.

This is the truth she least wants to admit. She truly is now in this predicament of being put up for sale.

Bold words without real strength are nothing but impotent rage...

The Crimson Moon Saintess smiled and said, "Perhaps you're trying to say you're not merchandise and don't want to be bought and sold at will? But do you know what it means that everyone below the Golden Core stage is a slave?"

"I know exactly what you're thinking," the Crimson Moon Saintess said with a cold laugh. "You don't think that reaching the Golden Core realm means you're no longer a slave, do you?"

"Those below the Golden Core stage are all slaves. It seems like a line has been drawn and rules have been established. But in reality, there are no rules at all."

"Because the lines are drawn by people, and those capable of drawing lines can redraw them at any time. The original meaning of this saying is that the strong are respected, and the weak are all slaves, livestock, food, furnaces, utensils, consumables, and dust..."

"You don't need to ask me anything," the Crimson Moon Saintess said frankly. "I've already told you. It's because you have a good foundation and are a peerless treasure that I want to take you back to be a furnace for nurturing a nascent soul. The nascent soul you nurture should be of very high quality."

"And you should be very fertile, with a body much stronger than you look. You can withstand being torn apart by all sorts of huge objects."

Qin Rufeng angrily said, "Enough, stop talking!"
