Yu Daohan rolled his eyes. He had been too focused on escaping to remember.
It seemed he really couldn't stay with Qiangzi for too long, or his brain would start to malfunction.
Yu Daohan tightened his grip on the Kanglong Jian. Although his body had not yet recovered, it should be enough to deal with this thing.
Yu Daohan stomped his foot and lunged forward, charging at the woman in the red dress. He swept the Kanglong Jian horizontally.
The woman in the red dress quickly retreated. Seeing this, Yu Daohan threw the Kanglong Jian he was holding.
The Kanglong Jian flew straight towards the woman in the red dress's chest.
The woman in the red dress grabbed the flying Kanglong Jian with both hands, but due to the inertia, she was pushed back and crashed into a tree behind her.
Before the woman in the red dress could react, Yu Daohan had already rushed over and then stomped on the Kanglong Jian.
The woman in the red dress's hands could not withstand such immense force. Her chest was directly pierced by the Kanglong Jian and nailed to the tree.
Yu Daohan slowly lowered his foot, his heart pounding. This move was the same one used by the wolf-faced masked man and Liao Wensheng during their fight on Ghost Street last time.
This move, coming out of nowhere, could indeed catch the enemy off guard, but it was also extremely dangerous. Thinking about it now, the wolf-faced masked man really had the courage to use such a move.
Qiangzi, watching from behind, was also slightly surprised by Yu Daohan's strike. After all, the move was incredibly dangerous, and any slight mistake could put him in a precarious situation.
"Master Yu, that move was awesome," Qiangzi couldn't help but praise.
Yu Daohan pulled out the Kanglong Jian stuck in the tree and grinned, "Don't you know who I am?"
Inwardly, he was just glad he hadn't made a mistake, or he would have been utterly embarrassed.
"Have you seen my baby? Chubby and very cute. Have you seen my baby? Chubby and very cute."
The two knew that the woman in the red dress had appeared again.
Qiangzi looked at Yu Daohan, "Fighting like this is not a solution."
Yu Daohan nodded. If they continued to drag this out, they would either be killed or exhausted to death.
"Let's go!" As soon as Yu Daohan finished speaking, he led Qiangzi into the woods ahead.
Along the way, the two of them would occasionally fight the woman in the red dress.
After about three hours, Qiangzi was so tired that he leaned against a nearby tree, gasping for breath.
Yu Daohan was not much better. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and large drops of sweat trickled down his forehead and cheeks to the ground.
"Have you seen my baby? Chubby and very cute. Have you seen my baby? Chubby and very cute."
The figure of the woman in the red dress walked out of the nearby woods again. Qiangzi's legs went weak, and he sat on the ground, despairing, "It seems we are going to be exhausted to death here today."
Yu Daohan stared at the woman in the red dress and let out a soft sigh. He couldn't hold on much longer in his current state.
"And why does this lily scent linger?" Qiangzi complained.
Yu Daohan looked up at the starry sky and suddenly realized something. "Qiangzi, what time is it?"
Qiangzi, seeing the woman in the red dress slowly approaching, became anxious. They were about to die, and he was still asking about the time. Nevertheless, he took out his phone and checked. It was 6:45.
"6:45, what's wrong, Master Yu?" Qiangzi clenched his copper coin sword, preparing to attack again.
Seeing that Qiangzi hadn't reacted, Yu Daohan was a bit speechless. "Damn it, look at the sky."
Qiangzi raised his head in confusion and looked at the sky. Countless stars were shining brightly.
Qiangzi suddenly reacted, his face changing. "It's almost seven o'clock, but why are the stars still out like it's three in the morning?"
"Master Yu, what is going on?" Qiangzi's voice trembled slightly.
Yu Daohan shook his head, his face serious. "I suspect we've fallen into an illusion."
Qiangzi swallowed hard. "No way, when did we fall into an illusion?"
Yu Daohan looked at the woman in the red dress who was getting closer and suddenly said something irrelevant, "Qiangzi, would you be okay if I let her hit me without retaliating?"
"Holy crap, Master Yu, did you get hit on the head fighting that ancient demon for three thousand years?" Qiangzi couldn't quite believe what Yu Daohan had said.
If he wasn't sure Yu Daohan was real, he would have suspected that the woman in the red dress had sent him as a spy.
Yu Daohan shook his head, looking serious. "No, I'm serious. Don't you feel like we're not being killed by the woman in the red dress, but exhausted to death? Every time we kill her, she pops out of the woods again, always making you give your all."
Qiangzi nodded. It was true. Although the woman in the red dress got stronger each time, she was always a bit weaker than him.
"Master Yu, isn't this a bit too risky?" Qiangzi was still a little apprehensive.
Even though he said that, if it wasn't an illusion, wouldn't that be equivalent to offering himself up?
"I'll do it." As soon as Yu Daohan finished speaking, he stepped forward.
"Master Yu, don't joke around. Let me do it. This thing is not to be trifled with," Qiangzi said, blocking Yu Daohan.
Yu Daohan patted Qiangzi on the shoulder. If he let Qiangzi go, he would definitely not hesitate. "I think the same way as you. Let me do it."
Qiangzi remained silent. After Yu Daohan walked out, he suddenly gave him a thumbs-up. "Master Yu, that's the spirit!"
Yu Daohan rolled his eyes and suddenly wished he could take back his earlier words.
