Chapter 113: Who is She? Poison Hands Devil’s Lair!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Yang Dingtian’s mind truly shorted out.

What kind of show was the demon woman, Dugu Fengwu, trying put on? Calling him big brother and even asking him to save her life? She was terror-stricken by slightly more than ten scoundrels and was nearly raped?

How was this the attitude of the demon woman? These scoundrels wouldn’t even be enough for her little finger to kill, right?

Could it be that this woman wasn’t Dugu Fengwu? But the eyes, the figure, and the voice… everything was the same.

Dugu Fengwu’s voices, eyes, and figure left a deep and indelible impression on Yang Dingtian since that day. Because there were the three things that no one could rival with the demon woman. Of course, there was also that heart that was like a snake or a scorpion, which was also unrivaled.

Right at this moment, the scoundrels had caught up and completely surrounded Dugu Fengwu.

“Hehe… beauty. I have chased you for more than 50 kilometers. Let’s see how much further you can run.” The one-eyed man revealed his lewd eyes while ogling Dugu Fengwu’s devilish curves. His breathing was heavy and erratic like a torn bellows as he said, “I have made a vow that if I didn’t do you, I will not be able to forgive myself in this life. Don’t worry, I will do you so much that you will feel as though you are in heaven. I will do you until I don’t have any strength before I strangle you to death.”

Once this statement was uttered, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but be startled. Wouldn’t all the men in the world want to keep this exceptionally beautiful woman in their home and dominate her for life? How was one night enough? Furthermore, could he bear to strangle such a beautiful woman?

“Is it strange?” The one-eyed man said, “I am fully aware of my capabilities. My ancestors would be fuming in rage if I am able to sleep with an absolute beauty like you for a single night. If I attempted to dominate you for the long term, it will be asking for death with my current strength. I guarantee that, within three days, someone would come and kill me before taking you away. Hence, I will do you eight or even ten times tonight. I will do so much until I collapse. Then, I will kill you.”

After this declaration was made, Dugu Fengwu’s eyes instantly revealed an expression of inconsolable shock before she hid behind Yang Dingtian.

As soon as the one-eyed man finished his statement, he immediately rushed over and extended his hands to seize Dugu Fengwu.

“Big brother, save me, save me…” Dugu Fengwu was hiding behind Yang Dingtian while her devilish figure was shivering. She was grabbing onto Yang Dingtian’s sleeve and pleading for help.

The one-eyed man sneered and looked over at Yang Dingtian while saying, “Friend, I don’t want to have any trouble. Just hand over the beauty to me. Although you might not have a share of fun, when I am doing this beauty, you can still watch from the side. It will be worth it to reduce your lifespan by one year to be able to see such a beautiful woman nude.”

Yang Dingtian was now in a suspicious state of mind. Was this extraordinarily beautiful woman not Dugu Fengwu? Or was this demon woman acting and trying to torment him?

Just as Yang Dingtian was in a confused state, the one-eyed man seized Dugu Fengwu who was hiding behind him and pushed her ruthlessly to the ground.

“En…” That beautiful woman let out a painful groan and was desperately trying to escape from the ground.

The one-eyed man immediately took off his trousers, revealing his hideous and sinister private parts as he suddenly pounced on that beautiful woman. He extended his hand and was going to tear off her dress.

“Big brother. Save me…” This beautiful woman was screaming out and crying for help. She looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes that were filled with pleading and despair.

“Do it!” Yang Dingtian gave the order and suddenly drew his sharp sword.

It didn’t matter if this demon woman Dugu Fengwu was acting. Yang Dingtian couldn’t be bothered about it. If this beautiful woman wasn’t Dugu Fengwu and if she was raped by this one-eyed man, then Yang Dingtian would be unable to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

The one-eyed man was immediately surprised as his expression turned malevolent while he said, “There is really a hero who will risk his life to save a damsel in distress.”

As he finished, he suddenly drew a fiendish saber and cleaved at Yang Dingtian while still half-naked.

The sword in Yang Dingtian’s hand slashed down vigorously.

“Clang…” the one-eyed man’s fiendish saber was abruptly broken into two parts as it flew off.

Yang Dingtian’s sword didn’t have any signs of slowing down as he immediately slashed the one-eyed man into two.

A miserable howl was accompanied by the spraying of fresh blood.

In fact, this one-eyed man also had the strength of a five star Mystic Martial Artist, but he was still instantly killed by Yang Dingtian in a single slash.

Concurrently, the rest of the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers drew their sharp swords and killed the rest of the scoundrels at lightning speed.

In just a few minutes, all the scoundrels were wiped out without a single escapee.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian dismounted his horse, walked over to the beautiful woman, and extended his hand.

That extraordinarily beautiful woman’s eyes were still filled with lingering fear while her delicate body was still shivering. There was this rich feminine fragrance that came from her.

This bodily fragrance was exactly the same as the demon woman, Dugu Fengwu’s.

Yang Dingtian’s hair stood on end. This wouldn’t really be Dugu Fengwu’s act, right?

Afterward, Yang Dingtian looked at this beautiful woman with nervous eyes.

She reached out her petite hand to hold onto Yang Dingtian’s hand, but her captivating eyes were still filled with concern as though she was worried that Yang Dingtian would suddenly transform into an inhuman beast.

Yang Dingtian used a bit of strength and pulled her up from the ground. He then spoke nonchalantly, “Lady, everything is okay now. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave first. I still have to make haste.”

Afterward, Yang Dingtian mounted his horse and was about to leave with the ten brothers. It didn’t matter whether if she was Dugu Fengwu or not. It was better to be further away from her.

The beautiful woman paused for a moment. When she saw that Yang Dingtian didn’t want to rape her, she let out a sigh of relief and spoke in a hurry with her delicate voice. “Mister, it isn’t safe for me to travel alone at night. Can I follow you for a portion of the travel? Please escort me to the next town, and I will wait for my comrades over there.”

Yang Dingtian felt a numbing sensation on his scalp as he really didn’t want to promise her.

“I beg of you, please…” That beautiful woman then spoke with a trembling voice, “Otherwise, if another group of scoundrels comes along, then I would rather die than continue to live.”

Yang Dingtian took in a deep breath and said, “Okay, but I will make it clear. We will only escort you to the next town.”

“Yes, thank you, mister.” The beautiful woman gave her thanks.

She then walked over to Yang Dingtian’s horse and extended her attractive and sexy long legs to step up to the saddle. But she couldn’t even execute such a simple move and couldn’t get onto the saddle.

“Mister. Can, can you help me? My body is all soft, and I can’t get up the horse.”

Yang Dingtian stepped up and held onto her small waist, lifting her up onto the saddle.

It was truly a snake-like petite waist, which was satiny, flexible, and soft.

Yang Dingtian then rode with her and carried on making haste as they galloped towards the north.

…

The distance to the next town seemed very far. Yang Dingtian rode for three hours and over a hundred kilometers but still couldn’t see any shadow of a town.

After traveling for another three hours, it was already daybreak, and there still weren’t any towns.

Within this period of time, Yang Dingtian became completely sure that this beautiful woman wasn’t Dugu Fengwu.

Because no matter how she spoke, her temperament and expression were just like those of a child who had never seen the outside world. The way she spoke was extremely innocent as well, with a trace of sorrow.

She was like a pure and innocent child.

…

“You don’t even have a hint of martial arts. Why would you venture around the Land of Chaos by yourself? This is seemingly the most chaotic and dangerous place,” Yang Dingtian asked.

The beautiful woman went silent for a moment before she replied, “This is the first time I am venturing out, and I am ignorant about the outside world. There was supposed to be over a dozen guards protecting me, but yesterday night, numerous formidable individuals intercepted them and began to kill. My guards were holding the enemies back while they asked me to escape, saying they would catch up with me later. Hence, I rode my horse and desperately escaped. I thought I would be safe after I reached the town earlier, but I didn’t expect that after I slept for a short moment, the waiter at that inn suddenly came to inform me to hurry up and run. He said that there were over a dozen scoundrels who wanted to rape me, so I quickly escaped. Then, those scoundrels caught up to me before I was rescued by you…”

Afterward, the beautiful woman looked at Yang Dingtian and spoke in a serious tone, “It is all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would be dead, and it would have been a filthy death.”

“You are welcome,” Yang Dingtian responded.

“Young Master, there is a town ahead,” one of the Black Blood Cavalry suddenly said.

Yang Dingtian lifted his head. There was indeed a town just a few kilometers ahead.

“Lady, then we will bid farewell at the town ahead. Find a safe place and wait for your comrades,” Yang Dingtian advised.

The beautiful woman didn’t look cheerful and was instead disappointed as she nodded.

Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment and finally asked, “What is your name?”

The lady’s beautiful eyes had a trace of shyness as she replied, “You, you can call me Shuang’er.”

Yang Dingtian originally wanted to ask about her relationship with Dugu Fengwu, but he couldn’t. Because once he asked that question, it might bring about a grave danger later on.

Right now, there was a small stream where the water was so clear that one could see the bottom.

Shuang’er let out a cheer and ran over.

Yang Dingtian frowned and followed along. This was a complicated situation, and there might be danger at any moment. She was a weak lady who didn’t have any form of strength. Thus, he shouldn’t be too far away from her. The brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry were standing guard by the roadside.

After walking for more than a hundred meters, Yang Dingtian finally saw Shuang’er’s back view under a remote bridge. It seemed like being underneath the bridge gave her a sense of security.

When there was still about a dozen meters between them, Yang Dingtian stopped.

Shuange’er was crouching by the stream and seemed to be washing her face and drinking the water.

Her devilish figure that already had magical curves exposed her fatally tempting butt curves after she crouched down.

She first took off her veil before taking off another mask.

It was this mask that caused Yang Dingtian’s body to shiver because Dugu Fengwu had the same mask.

But shortly after, he realized that the mask was different from Dugu Fengwu’s. It was a silver mask, while Dugu Fengwu had a golden one.

After taking off the mask, Shuang’er looked closely at the surface of the water as though she saw an inverted image of herself. She remained motionless for a long time, as though bewitched by her own beauty.

Yang Dingtian had this moment of curiosity in his heart, wondering if her face looked exactly the same as Dugu Fengwu’s face.

But she should be intoxicated because everyone in the world would be intoxicated by such a suffocating beauty.

After fixing her eyes of her own image for a moment, Shuang’er leaned forward towards the river while pouting her lips. At this moment, her well-developed and round buttocks were raised up high, threatening to break open her dress. Yang Dingtian might not have any evil desires in his heart, but his breathing still became erratic.

This was a devilish body that could ignite the lust of any man.

Suddenly, Shuang’er asked, “Mister. How do you think I look?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “Absolutely beautiful.”

Shuang’er then asked again, “You saved my life and talked so much with me along the way. Did you know you are the only person who ever talked so much with me? Now, do you want to see my face? Do you want to see how I look?”

“Yes!” Yang Dingtian responded. He wanted to see if Shuang’er’s face was exactly the same as Dugu Fengwu’s face.

Shuang’er remained silent for a moment before she slowly turned around to confidently reveal her face.

When Yang Dingtian saw this face, his body instantly shivered, revealing a surprised look of disbelief.

Not because it was too beautiful and also not because it looked exactly the same as Dugu Fengwu’s.

On the contrary, it was a very strange face, so much so that it was frightening.

This face had an extremely flawless outline. Be it the eyes, nose, mouth, or the entire structure of the face, it was flawless and looked just like Dugu Fengwu.

But, the skin on her face was filled with scales, very fine scales that were blue with a trace of purple.

The entire face was like that all the way down to her neck. As far as the eyes could see it, there was nothing but scales.

This kind of scale was like the scale of a mermaid and also like the scale of a snake.

When Shuang’er saw Yang Dingtian’s surprised look, she showed a frigid smile and said, “It is also this expression. Everyone who sees me has this expression. My father, my maid, my servant. When anyone sees me, it was as though they saw a ghost…”

Right at this moment, Shuang’er let out a miserable smile of despair and mocked, “In fact, mister didn’t even have to save me earlier on. Once that scoundrel tore my clothes and saw my appearance, he would certainly be terror-stricken and would run as far as he could. He would never want to touch me again. Because every inch of my body is covered in these scales, even the most private area.”

“I knew that everyone would be afraid of me and find me disgusting. Everyone calls me a female yaksha…”

As Shuang’er spoke, tears fell to the ground. Her face, her beautiful eyes were completely filled with despair.

“Do you know why have I never ventured out? Because I am afraid that others would look at me as though I was a ghost. Not only would I scare the people in my home, but I would also scare the people outside,” Shuang’er spoke with a mournful voice.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian’s heart was filled with limitless pity and sympathy as he fixed his eyes on her face. He then spoke in a gentle voice, “Lady Shuang’er, my surprised look wasn’t because I was frightened by you. It was because I felt the unfair treatment given to you from the heavens. He gave you the most beautiful eyes, the most enchanting figure, the most pleasant voice but used a layer of scales to conceal your captivating beauty.”

“You don’t have to console me. You were simply frightened by me,” Shuang’er spoke with sorrow.

“No. Your looks might scare others, but they cannot scare me.” Yang Dingtian said, “To be honest, you might not even believe it. I find your looks rather tempting in a very, very sexy way.”

Yang Dingtian wasn’t lying. He truly felt this way. He didn’t think it was frightening and felt a peculiar sense of attraction instead.

“But my whole body is like this,” Shuang’er said and immediately loosened her dress and pulled it aside.

In this instant, her entire delicate body was bare naked in front of Yang Dingtian.

It was true. Every inch of her skin was covered in the scales, even the most private area.

But this delicate body had the most perfect and sexiest curves.

Yang Dingtian recalled a movie called “X-Men” back on Earth that had a female mutant who was covered in a layer of scales. The Shuang’er in front of him was similar to that female mutant, but compared to her, be it her curves, the outline of her face, or her eyes, Shuang’er was better in every way.

Hence, the moment when Shuang’er opened up her dress, Yang Dingtian’s eyes were wide open and were burning with passion.

After all, he had tasted plenty of hardcore flavors on Earth, and the Shuang’er in front of him was just another type of attraction and sexiness.

The eyes of a person would never lie.

When Shuang’er saw Yang Dingtian’s passionate and bright eyes, she was pleasantly surprised, and her eyes lit up brightly as well.

“Are you really not afraid of me? You don’t find my appearance disgusting?”

Yang Dingtian shook his head and replied, “Of course not! But Lady Shuang’er, you better wear your dress properly first. I cannot resist this temptation and might reveal my hideous self.”

For an instant, Shuang’er regained her shy nature. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Dingtian with a different look as she spoke in a soft voice, “You are the first person who is not afraid of me. I am really happy. Thank you.”

Yang Dingtian smiled lightly and said nothing.

“I have never left my home before. Do you know why I came out this time?” Shuang’er asked.

Yang Dingtian shook his head.

“Because I am going to die. I cannot live any longer, and I didn’t want to die before seeing the outside world.” Shuang’er said, “I feel that I am sufficiently satisfied after meeting you this time.”

Yang Dingtian paused for a moment and asked in shock, “Why?”

“Because I have a type of poison in my body. A kind of poison that no one can neutralize.” Shuang’er said, “But, I am not fearful of death. Instead, I feel it is a kind of relief. Because I do not have any mystic qi and I look so strange. Why not be dead instead of being alive?”

“You don’t know what you are talking about.” Yang Dingtian spoke loudly, “There is a lot of meaning to life. You can draw, sing, write stories, and sculpt. Do you know how many more things are there to do?”

“Sing?” Shuang’er’s eyes lit up and asked, “You, you can sing?”

Yang Dingtian paused and nodded.

“Then sing for me. Just this time, okay?” Shuang’er requested.

“Okay.” Yang Dingtian said, “But, wear your dress properly first. Otherwise, with so much temptation, my breathing will be too erratic, and I will not be able to sing.”

After listening to this statement, Shuang’er’s beautiful eyes had a pleased look while she blushed with delight.

She then wore her dress properly again. She ran over to Yang Dingtian’s side and sat on the grass.

Yang Dingtian dismounted the horse and sat on the grass too.

The horse then just bent over and leisurely grazed on some grass.

Yang Dingtian thought a moment and looked at this pitiful girl who would leave this world of the living soon and sang:

Nipping a smiling flower

Thinking how the world would change

No one will know how the outcome will be

The sun and moon will mutually ebb and rise

Wealth and nobility is hard to maintain

Today’s mien would be older than yesterday night’s

The space between the brow is just the width of a word

Take a look at a portion of the humanly scene

Who didn’t have a taste of sorrow and happiness

The sea and the sky are an endless walk

…

The song “两两相忘”(Mutual Absence) that he sang was a song from Earth. He felt that this song was pleasant to the ears, and his singing wasn’t bad either.

This might be a song that was sung by a woman.

But because of Yang Dingtian’s thoughts and feelings, he sang it rather well, and it was quite pleasant.

Shuang’er was listening intently, and she liked it a lot. She was even intoxicated by it.

Of course, Yang Dingtian’s singing skills weren’t so good, but she was intoxicated because someone was singing for her.

Yang Dingtian was singing while Shuang’er was sitting by his side and quietly listening. Her head tilted slightly and gently leaned on Yang Dingtian’s shoulder.

The space between the brow is just the width of a word

Take a look at a portion of the human world’s scene

Who didn’t have a taste of sorrow and happiness

The sea and the sky is an endless walk

Gratitudes and grudges are hard to account for

Yesterday shouldn’t be forgotten today

The torrential waves make a human look so small as the youth fly away like the birds

Even though it is rocky in the ancient flow of wind

Yang Dingtian continued to sing. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the river, the hurried sounds of galloping could be heard.

It was over a dozen sinister experts who were wearing black mantles and riding giant warhorses. They rode like the wind, riding across the river in an imposing manner.

The leader of the group was a tall and huge woman with gloomy and cold eyes.

All of these people had very high cultivation bases, and every one of them had a bloodthirsty qi presence and chilling eyes. Each of their mantles was embroidered with a blood-red bat.

Yang Dingtian was still singing as though he couldn’t see this group of individuals arriving.

…

The sea and the sky is an endless walk

Gratitudes and grudges are hard to account for

Yesterday shouldn’t be forgotten today

…

Just as this group of people was about to arrive, Yang Dingtian finally finished his song.

The gloomy and cold female leader suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed Shuang’er’s arm and immediately lifted her onto the front of her saddle. She then suddenly drew a sinister sharp sword and was about to cleave towards Yang Dingtian’s head.

From a distance, the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers rushed over in a frenzy.

“Black Phoenix, if you kill him, I will die!” Shuang’er spoke softly.

That woman who was called Black Phoenix glared at Yang Dingtian before she abruptly turned the horse around and galloped off.

In an instant, the rest of the black-mantled experts rode across the river like the wind.

“Big brother, what is your name?” Suddenly, Shuang’er who was being carried away shouted.

“Yan Nantian!” Yang Dingtian replied loudly.

“I will remember you. Until the day I die,” Shuang’er yelled back in reply.

“Don’t die. Live well,” Yang Dingtian shouted.

Afterward, the black mantled riders vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

*****

After reaching the town, Yang Dingtian changed his mount and began to make haste without any rest, traveling more than 500 kilometers in a single day.

30 hours later, he arrived at the edge of the Netherworld Swamp.

“Everyone, wait here for me,” Yang Dingtian spoke to the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers.

“Understood!” The ten brothers responded in unison.

Yang Dingtian had decided on this plan a long time ago because there were no humans and no demonic beasts in the Netherworld Swamp. As for the Poison Hands Devil, it would be useless to bring the Black Blood Cavalry brothers along.

Yang Dingtian dismounted. Right ahead was the Netherworld Swamp, which was an uninhabited region that extended for 500 kilometers.

The entire Netherworld Swamp was an obvious boundary within the continent. One side of it was a hard and flat land while the other side was sinister and filled with rotten swamps that had emanated a lingering miasma.

With a single glance, one could see it was two different worlds. The entire swamp was covered in gloomy mist and the smell of rot.

Yang Dingtian consumed an elixir and took in a deep breath before stepping into the swamp.

He was extremely careful because there were quagmires and poisonous miasma everywhere.

But, Yang Dingtian had already consumed a special elixir and was sucking on a Water Avoidance Pearl. Hence, he wasn’t in any danger and just had to be extra cautious.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

…

Five hours.

Yang Dingtian was carefully walking into the depths of the swamp.

The entire heaven and earth was filled with nothing but dead silence. There was only the sound of Yang Dingtian stepping through the mud.

It was as though Yang Dingtian was the only human in the world. Such solitude would definitely drive a person crazy after an extended period of time.

Right now, the sky was already dark.

But, the visibility was actually slightly better than daytime because the water in the quagmires was emitting a faint green light. It might look disgusting, but it did create some illumination. Furthermore, there were even green ghost flames on the surface of the water.

Yang Dingtian used these green lights and ghost flames to continue deeper into the swamp.

Two hours later, Yang Dingtian was finally in the deepest part of the Netherworld Swamp.

At this point, Yang Dingtian could smell a nauseating stench, which was the smell of death and evil. It was something that caused shivers all over his body even though it wasn’t cold.

Yang Dingtian understood!

He was about the reach the Poison Hands Devil’s lair!
