Chapter 364: Chapter 364: The Figure at the Turn

In the hospital ward, a girl just over ten years old lay on the hospital bed, her frame noticeably thinner than that of other children her age.

Illness tortured her with body aches, and only after being completely exhausted at night could she get a little rest.

Her mother had set up a makeshift bed beside her, accompanying her daughter to sleep.

Even in her dreams, the woman’s eyebrows were tightly knitted.

For her daughter’s pain and the medical expenses that flowed like water, yet no matter what, she clenched her teeth and always wore a smile when facing her daughter.

Only at night could she let down her guard and silently shed tears.

Through the glass, Li Sanniang watched the mother and daughter.

She cracked a smile.

Her porcelain white palm slightly opened, and the black mist coalesced into tendrils that climbed over the door.

It looked like they were about to seep through the cracks of the door.

However, at that instant, Li Sanniang suddenly turned around.

Standing behind her was a tall and straight young man, staring at her expressionlessly.

"Are you... Yan Sinian?" With just one glance, Li Sanniang recognized him.

Indeed, he matched Yao Dongdong’s description perfectly.

Yan Sinian had no intention of making small talk, as he brought his fingers together and made a cutting motion in the air.

Sword Qi formed and slashed fiercely towards Li Sanniang.

Beneath their feet, the ground turned pure white, as if they were confined within a narrow, four-walled room, and no matter the noise they made, it could not disturb others, as if it were a world unto itself.

Li Sanniang’s pupils constricted.

"Your cultivation base has actually reached such a level, you can even cast a barrier."

But Li Sanniang was no pushover; although her cultivation base wasn’t as high as Yan Sinian’s, she was well-versed in many evil techniques.

An oval object the size of a fist appeared in front of the woman, on which facial features faintly emerged.

Resembling a sleeping baby, it emitted a stench that wafted to the heavens.

"Go!"

The baby’s head charged straight towards Yan Sinian.

The young man’s calm expression suddenly showed annoyance.

This Ghost Cultivator had actually refined the spirits of dead infants into such ghastly creatures; if there were a Heavenly Dao in this world, she would’ve been struck dead numerous times over by now.

A crimson spot appeared on Yan Sinian’s forehead, like a birthmark, making his presence even more unassailable.

The baby was forcibly stopped three feet in front of Yan Sinian, unable to move even an inch further.

"Rise!" Li Sanniang shouted fiercely, and the baby suddenly opened its eyes.

Within them, there was none of the innocence typically found in babies’ eyes, only a chilling evil.

After this transformation, the baby’s head surged with a sinister energy, and it shockingly broke through the defenses, reaching Yan Sinian’s face in an instant.

Yan Sinian sighed, a look of compassion flashing in his eyes.

Fingertip Sword Qi exploded in intensity and viciously struck down.

The baby’s head, wide-mouthed and emitting a piercing scream, was suddenly cleaved in two, dissipating into a cloud of blood mist.

Fear flickered in Li Sanniang’s eyes; she hadn’t expected Yan Sinian’s cultivation base to be several times higher than she had imagined.

The Spiritual Energy residue on the Sound Transmission Talisman had been extremely weak.

"You have committed countless evils, and your death is well-deserved," Yan Sinian said emotionlessly, as Sword Qi shot straight towards Li Sanniang.

Having seen the fate of the baby, Li Sanniang knew too well what would happen to her if she were struck.

Without hesitation, she pulled out a necklace made of bones from inside her clothes, her eyes revealing pain.

But nothing was more important than her own life.

Li Sanniang broke the necklace and threw it forcefully, and the central bone elongated with the wind, turning into a shape like sharp teeth, violently shattering the surrounding space.

The sound of breaking glass filled the air as the pure white walls around them collapsed, turning into specks of light.

"It’s actually a tooth of Taotie." Even Yan Sinian was somewhat puzzled; he had no idea where this woman had gotten such a thing.

In his previous life, it would also have been considered a rare treasure.

Although Li Sanniang hadn’t refined it properly and couldn’t utilize its full effects, it was enough to create an opportunity for her to escape.

Li Sanniang gritted her teeth with hatred; losing such a treasure naturally caused her heart to bleed.

But it was precisely because she knew how to judge the situation and was sufficiently cunning and calculating that she had managed to remain undetected until today.

Where there’s life, there’s hope!

As long as she could reach the end of the corridor, she would be able to break through the window and escape.

Who would have expected that just as a smile was about to form on Li Sanniang’s face, a petite figure suddenly appeared around the corner?
