The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 516 - Chapter 516 Chapter 516 Crisis

Chapter 516: Chapter 516 Crisis Chapter 516: Chapter 516 Crisis “Heh heh, you do have some insight,” Master Zeng laughed wildly, “Do you think that the Soul Summoning Banner is my trump card? That really underestimates me. This Ghost King is my real ace up the sleeve.”

“Little girl, it’s not just you, even if a few more people with your abilities come at me, I wouldn’t be afraid. However, it is a bit of a pity. I was just about to refine a Corpse King, but someone had to interfere and ruin it.”

Hearing the words “Corpse King,” Zhong Nianyao suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing coldly as she looked at Master Zeng, “So, Ling Chao’s incident was your doing? You are that so-called Purple Mist True Man?”

She remembered Ling Chao’s incident. If it wasn’t for her timely intervention along with Lu Yichen, Ling Chao might really have been refined into a living corpse. Such things were very rare, and without a doubt, the Master Zeng before her was the Master Zixiao who had once deceived the Ling Family.

“It was you–”

Master Zeng understood everything, a chilling intent emanating from him, “It was you who destroyed my Corpse King, wasn’t it?”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Back then, he had painstakingly found a suitable candidate, and had even convinced the Ling Family to willingly partake in the ritual. Everything was going smoothly, but who could have imagined that at the very last moment, it all went awry.

After his magic was broken, he faced a severe backlash and sustained serious internal injuries. It was because of that incident that his cultivation reached a bottleneck and his life neared its end.

Now, seeing the main culprit, he truly wanted to kill her on the spot.

“It was I who destroyed it,” Zhong Nianyao said with a cold laugh, “For your own selfish desires, you actually committed such acts, reducing your Yin De. When do you think heaven will strike you down with a thunderbolt as punishment?”

“You won’t be able to see my retribution,” Master Zeng’s face was covered with a dark cloud, and even carried, “However, today, your retribution will surely come.”

After saying that, Master Zeng directly commanded the Ghost King to attack Zhong Nianyao.

The Ghost King was very strong, and if it were her prime, she would definitely have the strength to fight. But after the previous battle, she had expended too much Spiritual Power and had sustained several injuries.

Facing the attack of the Ghost King, Zhong Nianyao quickly dodged, then threw a talisman, which emitted a golden light that struck the Ghost King directly.

This Ghost King had been completely refined by Master Zeng, and now had no consciousness of her own, only obeying commands. Therefore, when facing Zhong Nianyao’s attack, she did not dodge but instead continued to charge forward.

The talisman hit the Ghost King, and a surge of black ghost energy burst out.

However, the Ghost King’s movement did not slow in the slightest, and she was once again upon Zhong Nianyao, her fingers transforming into long claws, aiming straight for Zhong Nianyao’s throat.

The sharp claws shimmered with a sinister cold light, enveloped in a dark aura. If caught by them, the consequences were unthinkable.

Zhong Nianyao quickly dodged, but she was still a step too slow, and a chunk of flesh was ripped from her shoulder. The blood that flowed from the wound was not a fresh red, but a black, stinking fluid.

She knew she had been infected with the corpse poison. However, the current situation did not allow her the luxury of treating the poison. She was no match for this Ghost King; now, all she could do was try her best to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

The Ghost King continued his assault on Zhong Niangyao, unlike her, having no consciousness, it did not evade any attacks.

The Ghost King and Zhong Niangyao kept fighting, and the number of wounds on Zhong Niangyao’s body increased.

Although a good amount of ghost energy had been scattered from the Ghost King’s body, it was but a drop in the bucket.

As time slipped away, Zhong Niangyao gradually became exhausted, her vision starting to blur, feeling as if her hands were no longer her own, as if they weighed a thousand pounds, hardly able to lift them. Most importantly, she felt her Spiritual Power was nearly depleted. The corpse poison had also spread throughout her body, making her situation increasingly dire.

Master Zeng watched the battle between Zhong Niangyao and his Ghost King with a hint of satisfaction on his face. It seemed that he had been deceived by this young girl just moments ago. Not many of the evil spirits inside the Soul Summoning Banner had been eliminated, but it had caused the young girl substantial injuries, so now she was likely on her last legs.

According to the current situation, in just a moment, Zhong Niangyao would undoubtedly be unable to hold on. Then he would take all of her cultivation for himself. As for her body, it need not go to waste; refined into a puppet, it would be a massive weapon.

Thinking this way, the loss of so many evil spirits from the Soul Summoning Banner earlier became much less painful for him.

Seeing all that was happening before her, the most thrilled person was undoubtedly Meng Rou.

Just now, she had been frightened by Master Zeng. However, seeing Zhong Niangyao’s plight now, the excitement overwhelmed her fear.

At this rate, she could almost see the scene of Zhong Niangyao’s tragic death.

If it weren’t for the inappropriate occasion, she really wanted to burst into triumphant laughter.

Zhong Niangyao had no time to care about what others were thinking at the moment, as she was nearly losing all consciousness, all her actions driven purely by instinct.

Even so, she was still no match for the Ghost King.

With a ferocious attack from the Ghost King, Zhong Niangyao was struck down to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in her chest, followed by a sweet, metallic taste in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, she saw a flash of white light, and she lost consciousness.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao finally fall to the ground, the excitement at the bottom of Meng Rou’s eyes was almost bursting forth, and she screamed in her mind, “Kill her, kill her.”

Master Zeng stood calmly there, not appearing to be in a rush at all. Perhaps at this moment, he already assumed the posture of the victor.

The Ghost King didn’t stop attacking because Zhong Niangyao had fallen, instead, it extended its iron-like claws towards Zhong Niangyao’s exposed throat, and forcefully stabbed down.

Just as the nails were about to pierce her throat in a bloody spectacle, an unexpected twist occurred.

A burst of golden light suddenly shone from Zhong Niangyao’s body.

The golden glow enveloped her completely, its dazzling brilliance rendering the inside details unclear.

The glaring golden light was not only piercing to the eyes but also carried a warm breath, greatly alleviating the eerie and cold atmosphere in the room.
