Chapter 297: Chapter 264 Zhu Geliang Strikes the White Bone Spirit Three Times_3

According to what the netizens said, even with his original life’s strength, it took him three tries to kill this corpse demon.

"Hehe, let’s see how my apprentice Kong Ming will handle this." Sun Wukong watched the scene in the mirror with curiosity about what was to come for Zhu Geliang, Liu Bei, and the others.

...

On the other side, the lady that the White Bone Lady had transformed into had just arrived at the place where Liu Bei was resting.

"Halt!" A patrolling soldier stopped her.

The noise drew the attention of Liu Bei and the others, who turned to see a beautiful woman standing outside their temporary camp.

The woman’s skin was as white as jade, her collar revealed a delicate chest, sweat made her powdered face glisten like dew, and dust brushed her high eyebrows like mist around willows.

Her charming appearance instantly caught Liu Bei’s eye, "Let her in."

Guan Yu promptly warned, "Elder brother, be cautious. A woman suddenly appearing in these desolate mountains could be cause for concern."

Liu Bei briefly reconsidered, asking, "Whose family are you from?"

"General, the young lady pays her respects." The White Bone Lady curtsied coyly, then added with a bit of grievance, "General, this mountain is called White Tiger Ridge; there are homes all around the front and back of the mountain. How can you call it a desolate mountain?"

"Yun Chang, this woman doesn’t have a trace of demon aura. Do not call everyone a demon." Liu Bei turned around and rebuked Guan Yu before asking her with concern, "Miss, why are you walking alone in the mountains?"

The White Bone Lady said, "General, my home is right below the western side of this mountain. Since my parents are old and sickly, and there’s no one to take care of them, I ended up marrying a live-in son-in-law.

It’s despicable that the king above imposes heavy taxes; we common folk lead tough lives, so out of necessity, we’ve had to start farming new lands to satisfy the court’s demands.

At this time, my husband is down at North Mountain Ridge with a few guests, plowing the fields. I have just cooked lunch and was about to bring it to them.

I heard the Han army was near here on my way, and I thought to come and offer my modest support, hoping the Han army will soon conquer the Elephant Country and bring this vast land into Han territory!"

Liu Bei was delighted at her words, "I did not expect the reputation of our Han dynasty to reach this far!"

The White Bone Lady quickly stepped forward, "If the general does not mind, please enjoy this meal."

"Hmm?" Guan Yu’s furrowed brow flashed with a cold light, blocking her.

Zhang Fei, on the other hand, smelling the strong scent of wine from the wine pot and having been tempted by hunger, laughed, "Second brother, she’s just a young woman, what’s there to worry about."

Liu Bei hesitated before asking, "If you were bringing lunch for your husband, wouldn’t he blame you if we were to eat it?"

The White Bone Lady’s heart skipped a beat, but she responded, "General, my husband is a good man, and he has always been loyal to the Han dynasty. He often says that he was born in the wrong time, wishing he had been born a member of the Han. If he knew the Han army had arrived and that the general had eaten our food, he would definitely be willing."

Liu Bei was even more pleased and about to beckon the beautiful woman closer when Zhu Geliang appeared from behind, "Hold on, Duke of Shu."

"What is it, Kong Ming?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhu Geliang did not answer directly but instead pointed at the White Bone Lady with his feather fan and told Guan Yu, "Second General, kill her."

Without a word, Guan Yu swung his sleeve and raised his blade.

"Wait..." Liu Bei was unable to intervene in time.

"Ah!" The White Bone Lady screamed in terror. She only managed to take a single step back before she was cleaved in two, immediately leaving her body horizontal on the ground, blood pooling all around.

Zhang Fei spoke up after seeing this, "This is bad, Second Brother, she was a proper woman from a family, not a demon!"

If she were a demon, she would have shown her true form upon death.

Liu Bei was also somewhat dissatisfied, "We of the Great Han are a force of benevolence and justice. If we conquer Elephant Country and make it a part of our Han territory, if those nationals learn that we have killed innocents indiscriminately, would they trust us? Would they come forth to support our troops like this woman did, without asking for anything in return?"

Guan Yu asked sternly, "Elder brother, did you take a fancy to this young woman?"

Liu Bei’s face flushed with embarrassment as his thoughts were exposed, and he angrily retorted, "After all the hardships of this journey, am I not allowed to enjoy myself?"

Zhu Geliang shook his feather fan and smiled, "Duke of Shu, could it be that you’ve forgotten the warning from our Ancestral Martial?"

Liu Bei was suddenly jolted awake, breaking out in a cold sweat, realizing he had nearly been confused by his desires!

Zi Wei Great Emperor once mentioned that the White Tiger Ridge was besieged by a corpse demon, a creature adept at transformation.

Meanwhile, utilizing her Dissolve Corpse Technique, the White Bone Lady left and watched from the clouds, hearing the conversation below and feeling both shocked and doubtful.

She knew the Great Sage Equalling Heaven to be the famous Sun Wukong, also the revered Ziwei Great Emperor in the celestial realm, and the Monkey King of Fruit Mountain in the demon realm.

What kind of warning would such a pinnacle being offer these members of the human race?

The White Bone Lady couldn’t understand it, yet she couldn’t let go of the endless blood food, knowing this was an excellent opportunity to eradicate the Han army and swear allegiance to Tianzhu.

After pondering in the clouds for a moment, she conjured up another plan.

Then, enveloping herself in dark clouds, she descended upon a hillside, transforming into an old woman, aged eighty, leaning on a walking stick, crying step by step as she walked eastward, until she reached Liu Bei’s temporary camp.

Zhang Fei, hearing her clearly, widened his eyes and said to Liu Bei, "Elder brother, that old woman is looking for someone!"

Liu Bei glanced outside the camp and feigned ignorance, "Looking for who?"

Zhang Fei replied, "Kong Ming had Second Brother kill that young woman; she must be her daughter."

Guan Yu frowned and stayed silent.

Zhu Geliang laughed, shaking his fan, "Third General, you are mistaken. That young woman was eighteen years old and this old lady is eighty. How can she give birth at sixty-plus years of age?

Please, Second General, strike again."

Without a word, Guan Yu lifted his blade and left the camp.

The White Bone Lady, disguised as the old woman, was stunned. Not knowing whether to run or stay, she froze, but finally, in a panic, she screamed, "Ah! The Han army is killing civilians!"

Splat!

Guan Yu’s blade fell, and he cut off the old woman’s head.

Liu Bei, along with his officers, stepped out of the camp and saw another human corpse.
