'Granny once said that if I get lost in the Big Ruins and can't return to the village before the sky turns dark, I shouldn't panic.'
Qin Mu composed himself and thought to himself, 'There are many ruins in the Big Ruins, and those ruins have many miraculous things. If I hide in them, I might be able to survive. Whether the ruins can save my life depends on two things. First, are there stone statues similar to the ones in the village? Second, are there a large number of strange beasts in the ruins? These strange beasts are psychic and know where to hide from the darkness … '
There were many ruins in the Big Ruins. When Qin Mu was running away earlier, he had seen the ruins of some cities and villages. They were very ancient with dilapidated fences and dilapidated walls, but he didn't have the time to stop and check if there were any stone statues.
Half of the setting sun was already at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, the world became silent. It was so quiet that it could make one go crazy.
Following that, rustling sounds were heard. Qin Mu raised his head and saw huge birds whistling past in midair, covering the sky in darkness. Then, the ground trembled, and the forest collapsed. Strange beasts came out of nowhere and ran wildly.
Qin Mu even saw the sound of water coming from a lake. A few big scarlet fish that were several meters long jumped out of the water and used their fins as legs to run wildly on the ground!
Qin Mu was slightly confused. 'Are they still fish that are running on the ground?'
'These strange beasts are all running in the same direction. I can definitely hide from the darkness there!'
His spirit was greatly roused, and he rushed forward with the strange beasts.
The sky became darker and darker, and the darkness in the distance invaded like a tide. That darkness was different from the night. It was like a flood that covered the mountains, the valleys, and the wilderness, drowning everything. Even though it wasn't the first time Qin Mu had seen the invasion of the darkness, he still felt incomparably shocked.
The darkness was coming menacingly, and the herd of beasts was still running toward it. Qin Mu hesitated for a moment. The direction of the herd of beasts was the direction of the darkness. Was there really a safe place ahead to avoid the invasion of the darkness?
If there wasn't, wouldn't he die without a burial place?
'Whatever, the darkness is coming too fast. Even if I turn around, it's too late. I can't outrun the darkness at all. I can only run with the herd of beasts now!'
He gritted his teeth and charged forward.
More than ten miles below the river outside Disabled Elderly Village, the battle between Madam Si and the Li River's Five Elders had reached its climax. Originally, only the Li River's Four Elders were attacking Madam Si, but they couldn't take her down after a long time. Qi Yanbing, the head of the five elders, who was watching the battle from the cliff, immediately joined the battle. The five elders besieged her and formed the Five Elements Devil Refining Formation.
Unexpectedly, Madam Si was barely able to hold on under the siege of the four elders. However, when Qi Yanbing entered the fray, Madam Si's strength skyrocketed. The five elders' Five Elements Demon Refining Formation could not even trap this old woman.
The five elders were both shocked and angry. Now they realized that the old woman had pretended to be weak in order to catch all of them in one fell swoop. She lured Qi Yanbing into the trap so that he wouldn't escape.
Madam Si stood on her tiptoes and flashed around like a ghost. The silver needles and threads in the basket seemed to come alive and instantly pierced the Li River's Five Elders with wounds all over their bodies. The threads pierced through the five elders, immobilizing their souls and bodies, making them unable to move.
The little old woman smiled and walked forward with a pair of scissors. "Granny, I haven't refined human skin for a long time. I wonder if my skills are rusty …"
She came in front of Qi Yanbing. Suddenly, Qi Yanbing opened his mouth and a silver ball flew out, hitting Madam Si head-on.
The silver ball grew as it came in contact with the wind. With a swoosh, tens of thousands of sword auras burst out from the silver ball and expanded outwards. In an instant, it transformed into a sphere of pure sword auras with a radius of a hundred meters!
Madam Si didn't expect this and hurriedly retreated. Her body suddenly became soft and she swam up and down in the air like an earthworm, dodging the sword auras. At the same time, the scissors in her hand flew out and cut down the sword auras like two silver dragons.
She was caught off guard and was still pierced by a sword aura. The sword aura came from her back. As she was hunchbacked, there was a part of her back that couldn't be seen. The sword aura pierced through her hunchback.
The sword auras that filled the sky disappeared, and the broken swords fell from the sky and stabbed into the ground with a radius of a few acres.
The silver ball also fell to the ground with a thud and stopped moving.
Madam Si also landed on the ground. She reached for the sword on her back and frowned slightly.
"You still managed to dodge it …"
The eyes of Qi Yanbing, the leader of the five elders, were filled with despair. His voice was hoarse as he said, "I ambushed you with a sword ball at such a close distance. There were 6,842 swords in the sword ball, but you still managed to dodge it. You are definitely not a nobody in the devil path! There's no old woman like you in the devil path. Who are you? "
He suddenly noticed Madam Si's back. There was a wound where the sword had pierced through the hunchback, but no blood flowed out. Instead, there was light shining in. It was clearly empty.
Qi Yanbing couldn't help but feel his blood run cold. "This isn't your true appearance. You're wearing someone else's skin …"
"You've hurt my skin."
Madam Si frowned. Her voice wasn't her usual old female voice. Instead, it was very pleasant to the ears. Just by hearing this voice, one would think that she was a beautiful woman in her prime. She didn't look like she had one foot in the coffin at all.
Madam Si pressed her throat and sighed, muttering, "It's leaking air …"
She took out a thread from the basket and sewed up the wound on her back. She tested her throat and her voice returned to normal.
Suddenly, Qi Yanbing's expression changed drastically as if he had seen a ghost. He cried out, "I've heard your voice before. I know who you are! Heavenly Demon Cult's cult master husband … "
