Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Purple Death’s Might

It was Shadow.

The black-robed figure stood silently, its tall posture slightly hunched.

Purple Death’s beautiful purple eyes narrowed dangerously.

She pulled the thin bedsheet tighter around her body, though it did little to hide her alluring curves.

"You still dare to show your face here?" she sneered.

She had not forgotten how this strange puppet had beaten her, leading to her at the mercy of that bastard Li Feng.

"..."

Shadow didn’t reply, continuing to stare at her in silence.

The atmosphere between them grew increasingly tense.

Purple Death’s voluptuous chest rose and fell with barely suppressed anger.

The thin bedsheet clung to her damp skin from the waterfall mist, outlining every seductive line of her body.

"If you have something to say, then say it," she said coldly.

"Otherwise, get lost. This is my territory."

She had already begun to accept that she might be trapped here for a long time and had claimed this area as her own.

For some reason, the spiritual energy here was thicker and purer than elsewhere... likely because one of the massive tree’s thick branches lay beneath the waterfall behind her.

Time passed.

Their silent confrontation stretched on for ten long minutes.

Finally, Purple Death snapped, a vein bulging at her temple.

"Enough!" she shouted, her voice echoing through the serene space.

"If you’re not going to speak, then stop staring at me like a dead fish!"

She stood up abruptly.

The thin white bedsheet slipped dangerously from her body as she moved, nearly exposing her full, voluptuous figure.

She quickly grabbed it with one hand, but her deep purple eyes burned with irritation and killing intent.

"Are you here to provoke me on purpose? Or are you just that much of a pervert that you enjoy watching me meditate half-naked?!"

Her chest heaved with anger, the bedsheet barely containing her ample breasts as she glared at Shadow.

"Speak, puppet! Or I’ll make you regret coming here!"

"..."

Still, no answer came from Shadow.

Shadow newly repaired skull mask stared silently at her, as if patiently waiting for something.

Purple Death’s patience finally reached its limit.

"You bastard—!"

In a flash of purple light, she attacked.

A dagger condensed from pure, sharp spiritual energy formed in her hand.

The blade glowed with cold, lethal light as she lunged forward with explosive speed, aiming straight for Shadow’s throat.

"Die!"

The spiritual energy dagger sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, carrying fierce killing intent.

Seeing this, Shadow reacted instantly.

But surprisingly, it didn’t dodge.

Instead, it condensed a pure black dagger made of dense darkness energy in its hand.

TING!

Sparks flew as the two daggers collided violently.

The clash sent powerful ripples of energy outward, causing the waterfall behind Purple Death to momentarily surge.

Purple Death’s eyes flashed with surprise that the puppet had chosen to meet her attack head-on instead of using its strange phasing ability again.

But then she sneered coldly.

Without wasting another words,

The two instantly engaged in a fierce, fast-paced dagger fight.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Their daggers clashed repeatedly in a dazzling series of exchanges. Purple Death moved with incredible agility and flexibility, twisting her voluptuous body in seemingly impossible ways... bending backward at an extreme angle to avoid a counter while delivering a sharp upward slash toward his mask.

The thin white bedsheet barely clung to her, slipping and sliding with every fluid movement.

It revealed tantalizing glimpses of her full, heaving breasts, narrow waist, and smooth, powerful thighs as she spun, leaped, and crouched.

Her combat experience was clearly superior.

Every strike was precise and lethal, targeting vital points.

She even used the terrain around the waterfall cleverly by kicking off stones, using the mist for cover, and even whipping the edge of the bedsheet as a distraction before stabbing forward.

Shadow kept defending, blocking and parrying, occasionally forced to retreat a step or two.

Purple Death pressed her advantage relentlessly.

She performed a breathtaking backflip, her body arching gracefully in the air.

The bedsheet flew up completely during the rotation before she landed lightly on a wet stone.

Without missing a beat, she dashed forward in a low crouch, dagger slashing in a wide horizontal arc toward Shadow’s waist.

Not giving him any chance to recover, she unleashed a rapid barrage of stabs, left, right, upward, downward... her wrist movements fluid and unpredictable like a venomous snake.

Shadow seemed to struggle with the defense.

But during the rapid assault, Purple Death suddenly smiled.

Then the dagger heading toward Shadow disappeared.

"Heh!"

She released the dagger, letting it dissolve into spiritual energy.

In the same breath, she stepped in close and switched to hand-to-hand combat. Her palm struck like lightning toward Shadow’s chest.

BAM!

The heavy impact sent a dull thud echoing through the space.

Shadow was forced back several steps, its black robes fluttering.

Purple Death couldn’t help but smile.

"Heh... what’s wrong, puppet?" she taunted, breathing heavily.

"You were much stronger last time!"

At the same time, she frowned inwardly.

’Why is this thing not using its phasing ability?’

If it used that strange ability to dodge, she wouldn’t have such an easy time landing hits.

’And why won’t it attack me?’

Purple Death narrowed her beautiful purple eyes, sensing the strangeness.

But then a wicked grin appeared on her face.

She didn’t care about the reason.

Since this puppet seemed to want to get beaten by her, it would be foolish to waste this golden opportunity.

Her voluptuous body flashed forward once again.

She closed the distance in an instant and unleashed a ruthless barrage of palm strikes, elbows, and knees.

Every movement was filled with explosive power and graceful flexibility.

And throughout it all, an extremely bright smile lit up Purple Death’s face.

Meanwhile, hidden among the rocks a distance away, three crouching figures were secretly watching the intense fight.

"Fight back! Ughh!! Why won’t that thing attack that bitch!"

Yao Xin shouted angrily, clenching her cute little fist.

Her beautiful face was still swollen on the cheek from the previous beating Purple Death had given her, making her look both comical and pitiful.

Beside her, the two others watched with complicated expressions.

"But what is that black thing? Is it related to Master Li?"

Old Han muttered as he peeked at Shadow through his own swollen eyes... a souvenir from trying to keep spying on Purple Death.

"Bah! Who cares what it is! I just want to see that arrogant woman cry!"

Yao Xin gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment and a trace of fear.

"That slut stole my territory and beat me up so badly last time! I hope that masked guy beats her until she can’t get up! Hmph! But why is he just taking the beating?!"

The area Purple Death had claimed as her territory originally belonged to Yao Xin.

Not only did it have extremely pure spiritual energy, but there was also a strange soothing energy that calmed the soul.

But later, that half-naked Golden Core expert had taken it over.

Of course, Yao Xin was extremely prideful by nature.

Not to mention she was one of Li Feng’s Star Apostles and a woman he had personally slept with, so she arrogantly hadn’t been scared of this Golden Core bitch.

...At least until the moment the woman learned of her status and brutally beat her up before throwing her out of the area.

If it weren’t for the strange world forbidding killing, Yao Xin felt she might have actually been killed by that bloodthirsty woman.

Since then, she had tried to fight back.

She even called Old Han and Ye Mo for help, but all three of them ended up with swollen faces.

Just then, a calm voice came from her side.

"Hmm... is it just me, or is dat bwack figuwe twaining wif da gowden cowe?"

Old Han and Yao Xin turned their heads.

The speaker was the handsome Ye Mo... currently the most pitiful-looking of the three.

His face was so swollen it looked like it had been stung by a swarm of demonic bees.

Even his lips were puffed up, making his speech slightly unclear.

Yet his eyes remained serious and sharp.

Old Han and Yao Xin didn’t pity him at all.

In fact, they thought he deserved it... after all, this guy had actually dared to propose having a "good time" with the Golden Core expert.

"Look..." Ye Mo continued, his swollen lips making his words come out in a funny, muffled manner.

"Dat bwack guy... he’s not fightin’ back at all. He’s onwy bwocking da most dangerwous attacks. And dat gowden core woman... she’s getting angwier and angwier da more he wets her hit him. It wooks wike..."

He paused, then added with difficulty, "Ow... he’s testing how stwong she has become. Eider way... he’s not weally in danger. Dat guy is pwobabwy much stwonger dan he wooks wight now."

Yao Xin stared at him blankly for two seconds, then suddenly exploded.

"Pfft—! What the hell are you even saying?! Speak properly, you idiot! I can’t understand a single word with that pig-face of yours!"

Old Han tried to hold in his laughter but failed miserably.

He clutched his swollen cheek and wheezed,

"Hahaha... ow, it hurts..."

Ye Mo looked at his two companions with a wronged but still serious expression.

His swollen lips trembled as he tried to defend himself.

"I’m being sewious! Dat woman is awmost compwetewy naked and beating him up, but he’s not even twying to gwab her bw— I mean, he’s not countewattacking!"

Yao Xin’s swollen face turned red from both anger and the effort of trying not to laugh.

"Stop talking! Every time you open your mouth I want to punch you myself! Just nod or shake your head like a normal person!"

Old Han just wiped tears from the corner of his swollen eyes.

The three of them continued bickering in hushed, ridiculous voices while occasionally peeking back at the intense fight in the distance.
