Chapter 2821: Chapter 2822: Nightmare Wolf and Dream Fiend
Tang Xiao’s face was covered in tears, standing motionless on the spot, as if stunned by this sudden happiness.
She grew up without parents, having been raised by her brother Tang Zheng.
In Tang Xiao’s memory, the recollection of her mother was only a few vague images.
Now suddenly seeing her long-yearned-for mother standing right in front of her, reaching out to embrace her, how could she not be happy?
It seems as though sensing her thoughts, the aristocratic lady’s face showed a look of heartache.
"What a pitiable child, come let mother hug you!"
Saying this, her arms already went over Tang Xiao’s shoulders, seemingly ready to wrap around and embrace her.
Just then, a pen tip pierced through the back of the aristocratic lady.
The aristocratic lady let out a piercing scream, yet she did not give up; instead, she fiercely clasped her hands together, attempting to trap Tang Xiao within.
But Tang Xiao had anticipated this move long ago. She crouched down and escaped from the aristocratic lady’s encirclement.
At the same time, wisps of black aura dispersed from the aristocratic lady’s wound, her once bright and beautiful appearance withered, revealing a sinister and terrifying true form.
It turned out to be a Wolf Demon with a long wolf tail, its body a steely gray.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao couldn’t help but furrow her brows, speaking coldly, "So it’s a Nightmare Wolf!"
In dreams, there is a demon named Nightmare Wolf, referring to this kind of creature that feeds on the greed and fear in people’s hearts.
This Nightmare Wolf opened its bloody maw, roaring in anger, "Despicable, how did you notice?"
"It’s simple. Though I was young when my mother died, I still remember her appearance!"
"But I constructed it based on the image deep within your heart. How could you see through it?" The Nightmare Wolf roared unwillingly.
Tang Xiao sneered, "Sorry, the face you’re using now is one I randomly imagined. My mother’s true appearance has long been sealed within my literary mind, beyond your scrutiny!"
Actually, from the beginning Tang Xiao knew it was an illusion, but she didn’t immediately expose it, instead using a counter trick, wanting to see how the illusion would unfold.
That’s why she deliberately shouted ’mother’ when that figure was just emerging, not yet manifested.
It was to give the Nightmare Wolf a false impression.
"You wicked woman, do you really think you can kill me this way? I am an illusion demon appointed by Lord Dream, even if you see through it, what could you do? Today, you are destined to die here!"
The Nightmare Wolf roared and lunged at Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao didn’t even dodge, simply standing still, looking coldly while murmuring.
"Three!"
The Nightmare Wolf was puzzled, "What are you shouting?"
"Two!"
"Cackle, are you counting down how long you have left to live?" The Nightmare Wolf sneered.
Tang Xiao ignored his ridicule, instead extending a finger, slowly saying, "One!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a muffled sound, and the Nightmare Wolf’s body instantly exploded into pieces.
The torso and limbs disassembled into mist in mid-air, only the head turned into a gray light, shooting straight into the depths of the mist.
Meanwhile, from the void came a faint sound of anger and shock.
"What did you use to harm me?"
Tang Xiao coldly replied, "Nothing much, just a pen used by generations of literary saints at Qisi Poetry Society to write memorials!"
With these words, everything returned to silence, even the disturbed mist calmed down.
Tang Xiao stood on the spot, only letting out a breath when she confirmed that the Nightmare Wolf had been scared away. Then she stepped forward and bent down to pick up the pen of the literary saint’s memorial from the air.
At this moment, the pen’s body showed fine cracks, clearly worn down significantly by the recent battle.
Tang Xiao’s eyes showed a look of pain, carefully stroking the pen’s body, muttering, "Thanks to you this time!"
Saying this, she looked up at the fog ahead.
The fog was still dense, but after the battle had dissipated somewhat, faintly revealing a path.
Looking at this path, Tang Xiao’s face showed a very complex expression.
Since seeing this fog, a question had been looming in her heart.
Why has this general literary meeting turned out this way?
This Nightmare Wolf is a creature of evil, and it’s one of the higher-level entities, how could they suddenly appear here?
Where have the others gone?
These questions kept swirling in her mind.
Finally, she took a deep breath.
No matter what’s ahead, she has to see for herself.
After all, this concerns the fate of scholars across the world.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao stepped forward, silently merging into the mist.
And just as she successfully escaped the illusion and continued to move towards the mountaintop.
Yun Lingxuan, however, faced a life-or-death crisis.
The sharpened dagger makes an euphonic sound when piercing into a throat.
Then the dagger slashes across unimpededly, first cutting the vocal cords, turning a scream into a grating hissing sound, and then slicing through the trachea.
Once the trachea is severed, the air in the lungs uncontrollably spews out, carrying countless bloody foam.
Then you’ll see a person’s chest slowly deflate, a symbol of thoroughly shriveled lungs.
Along with the chest, deflates their gaze.
A gaze that cannot be looked at directly, mixed with despair, reluctance, and anger.
Just a glance is enough to burn your nerves.
But even so, it’s unfinished. The dagger continues uncontrollably cutting across, skin and flesh pushed aside, and then the major artery in the neck is severed.
Blood spurts out up to two to three meters in height, completing its most splendid finale.
At this point, you can see the person’s gaze extinguishing.
The entire process is cruel even when described with words only.
Yet Yun Lingxuan was witnessing it firsthand, and it wasn’t just one.
In front of her was a hall mostly collapsed due to fire, flames soaring, numerous sinister and terrifying evil creatures prowling within, indiscriminately harvesting lives with daggers in hand.
Screams mixed with the euphonic sound of daggers slicing through flesh composed a symphony of hell.
Yun Lingxuan’s body trembled uncontrollably because what appeared before her was a scene she had sealed deeply in memory.
This collapsed hall was her former home.
The people being slaughtered like pigs and dogs were her family.
At this moment, an evil creature with a scorpion tail reached out to grab a man’s hair and then plunged his dagger straight down.
Puff!
Blood splattered, yet the man didn’t scream, just calmly looked toward Yun Lingxuan, his lips moving slightly.
Though she couldn’t hear a sound, Yun Lingxuan still knew the man was saying the words ’Run quickly’.
