Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Reckless Ignorance

Although they appeared calm on the surface, deep down they were secretly relieved, and their once desperate mood relaxed a bit.

The woman referred to as "Second Sister" lowered her voice and said to the woman beside her, "Elder Sister, now is the perfect opportunity! Look at that girl; I didn’t expect her to be affected by Demonic Qi. It’s truly heaven’s help for us!"

Elder Sister’s eyes flashed with a hint of cunning upon hearing this, then she showed a smug smile, nodded, and said, "Second Sister, this is indeed an unprecedented opportunity. We don’t need to act ourselves, just need to use a bit of Demonic Qi to guide the turmoil within her and make her lose control completely. By then, she’ll be consumed by Demonic Qi, definitely lose her sanity, and might even harm herself. Once she can no longer bear it, we’ll seize the chance to escape, utterly unnoticed."

The two exchanged a knowing glance, then quietly approached Xiao Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, struggling to suppress the Demonic Qi.

Their steps were as light as a cat’s, making barely a sound, their movements extraordinarily stealthy, clearly intending to carry out their plan while Xiao Xiao was unprepared.

Second Sister led the way, her eyes full of sinister smiles, staring at Xiao Xiao’s back as if eyeing prey about to fall into a trap.

They knew that as long as they successfully triggered Xiao Xiao’s Demonic Qi to completely rampage, everything afterward would become extremely easy. At that time, not only would they be able to escape, but Xiao Xiao would also be completely stripped of her combat abilities.

Elder Sister followed closely behind, filled with excitement. Her fingers trembled slightly, eagerly anticipating the upcoming events.

As they gradually approached, the Demonic Qi in the air grew denser, like invisible threads slowly coiling towards Xiao Xiao.

Finally reaching behind Xiao Xiao, Second Sister held her breath, gathering the Demonic Qi within her body, planning to inject it into Xiao Xiao at lightning speed, triggering her turmoil.

Meanwhile, Elder Sister kept her eyes fixed on Xiao Xiao’s expression, poised to act at any unexpected situation.

Greedy and malevolent glints shone in their eyes, as if they’ve already envisioned Xiao Xiao’s agonizing struggle under the backlash of Demonic Qi.

The excitement in their hearts grew steadily, as if they already controlled the entire situation.

As they quietly approached Xiao Xiao, the atmosphere within the entire side hall became increasingly tense and oppressive, like an impending storm on the verge of breaking.

In the instant the two women quietly closed in on Xiao Xiao, she suddenly opened her eyes, which had been tightly shut, seemingly fully immersed in suppressing the Demonic Qi.

Her gaze was sharp as a knife, instantly locking onto the two women before her, filled with vigilance and anger.

"You two are thinking of taking advantage of me?" Xiao Xiao’s voice carried a suppressed fury, she sneered, with a hint of severity flickering in her eyes.

As she spoke, her hand suddenly swayed, the long-accumulated Spiritual Power within her body surged like a torrential flood, directly pushing the two women a few steps back.

She leaped to her feet, moving swiftly and fiercely, her hands already concentrated with a powerful wave of Spiritual Power, as if ready to strike these two daring enemies without mercy.

Her lips curved slightly upwards, showing a cold smile, "Ha, dream on!"

After being startled by Xiao Xiao’s sudden counterattack, the two women displayed surprise but quickly their expressions turned to cold smiles.

The Demonic Qi they’d secretly circulated had restored much of their power, though they might not be able to completely suppress Xiao Xiao, they weren’t helpless.

One of the women looked at Xiao Xiao with a scornful smile, coldly saying, "You’re just someone on the verge of being controlled by Demonic Qi, and you dare threaten us here?"

Another woman, equally full of ridicule, spoke with an icy tone, "Even if you haven’t completely lost control now, it’s only a matter of time. Once Demonic Qi fully takes over your body, you yourself will become a demon, still want to threaten us? You’re too overconfident!"

Their words were full of mockery and contempt, as if Xiao Xiao had already become a helpless prey in their eyes.

However, Xiao Xiao’s expression didn’t waver at all; instead, she became more resolute.

She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the Demonic Qi fluctuation within her, coldly staring at the two, internally determined not to let their plan succeed.

"I’m overconfident?" Xiao Xiao’s voice was as cold as ice, "Then let me show you how I put you two self-assured wastes under my feet!"

As soon as Xiao Xiao finished speaking, her figure suddenly moved, fast as lightning, directly charging at those two women.

The Spiritual Power within her body had gathered to its peak; she decided to strike first, using the most fierce attack to overwhelm her adversaries, without giving them any chance to breathe.

The two women, seeing this, though watchful internally, didn’t relent with their mouths, "Really clueless about life and death!"

Their eyes continued to mock, exchanging a glance, simultaneously activating the Demonic Qi within, ready to face Xiao Xiao’s assault.

Instantly, the atmosphere of battle heated up, the clash of Spiritual Power and Demonic Qi creating intense Energy Fluctuation, so much so that the air within the side hall seemed to freeze.

Without hesitation, Xiao Xiao unleashed the Fire Element within her; blazing flames quickly gathered between her hands, as if intending to ignite the entire side hall.

The flames roared deeply in the air, rushing out in her motion, transforming into fire serpents that fiercely swept toward the two women.

The temperature in the air soared instantly, the blazing fire both dazzling and dangerous, illuminating the entire space in red.

Facing Xiao Xiao’s powerful attacks, the two women showed a hint of severity but quickly stabilized their spirits.

They exchanged a glance, synchronously channeling the Demonic Qi within them. Dense black Demonic Qi surged from their bodies, quickly forming a solid defensive barrier around them.

The Demonic Qi was like a black serpent, coiling around them, exhaling a chilly breath, starkly contrasting with Xiao Xiao’s flames.

Flames clashed violently with Demonic Qi, producing "chzz chzz" sounds. Xiao Xiao’s flames repeatedly tried to breach the Demonic Qi barrier but were constantly blocked by the icy force.

Fire Serpents intertwined with Demonic Qi, forming a thrilling Energy struggle, like a duel between heaven and earth, a contest between light and darkness.

One of the women grinned grimly, raising her hand as Demonic Qi coalesced into a pitch-black claw, suddenly lunging toward Xiao Xiao. The claw tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, seemingly aiming to shred Xiao Xiao’s body.
