Chapter 2055 - 2040: The Woman in Red from the Rumors

"Didn't you see?" Upon hearing Jian Ran's words, Shi Feng's face shifted as he spoke.

Could it be that the arrogant Second Young Lady simply overlooks everyone?

Shi Feng wondered internally, acknowledging this possibility.

The woman in red, Shi Feng had seen her twice now, and each time she brought a strange feeling.

This feeling was akin to a "ghostly" sensation, yet as the Lord of Billion Ghosts, he was certain she was not a ghost, nor was it a case of possession.

Even Shi Feng couldn't clearly explain it.

"At that time, Jian Yi really was alone, there was no woman in red." Jian Ran spoke to Shi Feng with absolute certainty.

She then added, "Could it be your eyes deceived you?"

"My eyes deceived me?" Shi Feng echoed these three words, shaking his head secretly, and then said no more to Jian Ran.

There's no way he would mistake that sinister woman.

Following this, Shi Feng said nothing more, nor did he pay further attention to the woman in red.

No matter what that woman was, it had nothing to do with him.

...

In a dark, chilly place, "Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

"He he he he he!"

"Woo woo woo woo woo!"

...

Strange, eerie sounds continuously echoed in this ominous place.

It sounded like someone crying, wailing here, like someone giving off bizarre laughter, like someone panting heavily.

It's confounding what kind of sound it truly was.

Clusters of greenish flames flickered in the distance of this dark land, like ghostly fires.

In this dark land, there lay an extremely ancient-looking, dilapidated altar, exuding an overwhelming sense of desolation.

At this moment, the remarkable talent of the Jian Family, Jian Yi, stood alone on this ancient altar.

Coming to this dark place, sensing the eerie unease, even an Eight-star Demigod like Jian Yi felt apprehensive.

Despite the darkness, Jian Yi's vision remained unimpaired, his eyes scanning all around, but he did not see the red-dressed woman who led him here, Jian Tong.

This made Jian Yi even more uneasy.

"Jian Tong, where are you?" Jian Yi shouted into the darkness.

In the dark world, Jian Yi's own voice echoed continuously.

"Jian Tong, where are you?"

"Jian Tong, where are you?"

...

The voice echoed for a long time, but still, only Jian Yi's own echo responded, and suddenly Jian Yi felt that even his echo became eerie and bizarre.

As if someone was behind him, mimicking his own voice, uttering these strange sounds.

"Who!" Hearing the sinister and eerie echo from behind, Jian Yi coldly shouted, swiftly turning around, but there was nothing but emptiness, no one there.

"Jian Tong, come out quickly, stop playing tricks on me here." Jian Yi shouted angrily against the darkness again.

Jian Yi's voice echoed again, gradually becoming sinister, merging with the sinister sounds here.

"He he, he he he he he!" At this moment, a woman's sinister laughter suddenly came from above.

Hearing this laughter, Jian Yi abruptly looked up, and immediately saw a seductive red silhouette, floating above him.

"Jian Tong!" At this moment, Jian Yi coldly spat out.

Earlier when he could not find this woman, he thought she might have met with misfortune upon arriving here, which made him uneasy.

But now seeing this woman, Jian Yi knew it was her playing tricks all along!

"Damn slut!" He shouted coldly, "Zheng!" Suddenly another sound of a long sword being drawn.

A long sword surged from Jian Yi again, slashing towards Jian Tong.

"He he he, fool." Jian Tong's seductive face was full of disdain, laughing mockingly.

Soon after, the long sword vibrating violently in mid-air.

At this moment, Jian Yi's expression drastically changed, suddenly sensing that his sword wasn't under his control anymore.

His longsword vibrated fiercely and continued its flight, and the next moment, Jian Tong reached out and grasped it in her hand.

"How could it be! How could it be like this!" Jian Yi muttered in disbelief.

He was an Eight-star Demigod, and this woman was merely a Three-star Demigod, worlds apart from him, in his eyes, she was like an ant he could easily crush, yet she caught the sword he wielded.

"He he he, surprised? You fool!" Looking at Jian Yi below, Jian Tong spoke disdainfully again.

"Previously, I couldn't do anything to you outside. But here, do you still want to be arrogant towards me, you fool? He he he he he, since I've lured you here, you'll be at my mercy..."

"Lured here?" Muttering these five words, Jian Yi realized something, angrily said: "So! The talk about making me stronger was all a lie! It was all fabricated by you, enticing me to this place! Slut! Ah!"

Speaking to the end, Jian Yi let out an angry roar, a tremendous killing intent surged from his body.

At this moment, he truly wished to tear this woman to pieces!

Following this, Jian Yi's form suddenly moved, wanting to charge and attack.

But at this moment, Jian Yi suddenly discovered his body being suppressed by an inexplicably strange force, unable to move an inch!

"What...what's happening?"

"He he he, fool, since you've entered my domain, everything naturally falls under my control," Jian Tong's voice came from above.

"However, you were wrong earlier, I can indeed make you stronger, vastly more powerful, perhaps even Shi Feng would no longer be your adversary."

"Come! Release your mind, become my sword slave, exist in the world in a magical way, gain new strength, I will give you rebirth!"

Enticing words poured ceaselessly from the mouth of this woman in red, like a devilish tune, endlessly echoing in Jian Yi's mind.

"Ah! No! No! I don't want it!" At this moment, Jian Yi's face suddenly changed, becoming incredibly fierce and grim, emitting agonizing roars as if enduring immense torment.

At this moment, unspeakable evil forces were invading Jian Yi's mind, trying to take over his consciousness, his soul, wanting to explode his head.

The more he resisted, the more he felt the pain.

"Burn, Sword Flame!"

"Awaken, ancient power!"

"Boom!" As Jian Tong chanted, a black flame suddenly erupted from the ancient altar, like a fiercely burning black flame great sword.

Jian Yi's body was instantly devoured by the black flame.
