Chapter 1174: Chapter 1173: Xiao Ling and Xiao Ling’s Mother

”I’m not afraid, you can’t eat me, I’ve brought something that Black Wind Old Woman will definitely like. Let her release my mother, and I’ll give it to her!” Xiao Ling said, tightly closing her eyes, refusing to look at the female Evil Spirit in front of her.

The female Evil Spirit’s face was extremely ferocious, her eyes bleeding as she looked coldly at Xiao Ling. Finally, she gritted her teeth, withdrew a few steps, and said, ”Consider yourself lucky. Granny told me not to eat you, just you wait!”

Xiao Ling watched the female Evil Spirit disappear and couldn’t help but frown. Her whole body was trembling, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She couldn’t help but cheer herself up, saying, ”Xiao Ling, no problem, you can rescue your mother, you all will be fine!”

About an hour later, the female Evil Spirit emerged again from the huge solitary grave, extending a long tongue, blood dripping as she looked at Xiao Ling and said, ”Hand over the thing you brought, and I’ll pass it to Granny!”

”No way!” Xiao Ling immediately refused resolutely.

”What did you say? It seems you really want to be eaten alive...” The female Evil Spirit suddenly lunged at Xiao Ling.

”Don’t come over, I have the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s Egg in my hand. If you dare approach, I’ll smash it!” Xiao Ling shouted loudly.

Buzz!

The female Evil Spirit immediately stopped her steps, looking at Xiao Ling in disbelief, asking, ”How is that possible? You really got the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s Egg?”

”That’s right, otherwise, how would I dare to come here? Let Black Wind Old Woman come out, otherwise, I will break this Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s Egg, and also release my mother. I believe, in Black Wind Old Woman’s eyes, this Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s Egg is more important than anything.” Xiao Ling said harshly.

Rumble!

The whole pile of solitary graves trembled, the huge solitary grave gradually stood up, as if something was about to emerge, scaring Xiao Ling to quickly retreat. Not only Xiao Ling, but even the female Evil Spirit couldn’t help but quickly float away, trembling all over, seemingly aware that something was about to appear!

”Granny is coming, we kneel in worship!” The female Evil Spirit was already kneeling on the ground, bowing down completely.

At this point, a bent-over figure with hollow eyes emerged from the solitary grave, an old woman exuding an aura of death from all over, coldly looking at Xiao Ling and saying, ”Little girl, you actually dared to come here, I think you don’t want to live!”

”Black Wind Old Woman, release my mother, and I will hand over the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s Egg to you!” Despite being extremely afraid, Xiao Ling mustered up the courage to speak, for the sake of rescuing her mother.

”Tsk tsk, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? With just your power, I only need to move a finger to kill you!” Black Wind Old Woman said sinisterly.

”Before you kill me, I will smash the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s Egg. I believe you know which side is more important...” Xiao Ling threatened Black Wind Old Woman.

”Haha... then let’s see...”

Whoosh!

A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiao Ling was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Black Wind Old Woman to not be afraid of her threat and to have already acted. She quickly retreated, trying to dodge Black Wind Old Woman’s attack. However, before she could retreat, Black Wind Old Woman was already standing in front of her, her hollow eyes glancing at her, and Xiao Ling found herself unable to move.

”You... release me...” Xiao Ling was shocked. She hadn’t expected Black Wind Old Woman to render her immobile with just a glance, leaving her astounded. She also realized that not only could she not use the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s Egg to save her mother, but she herself was going to die too!

”Humph, little girl, you’re still too young. I’ve been wanting to find you for a long time. You and your mother share the same constitution, which is very good for me. It’s like keeping pets; I can drink a bowl of your blood when I need it, not only keeping me young but also greatly increasing my cultivation. It’s wonderful!” Black Wind Old Woman scoffed coldly, speaking chillingly.

”You... release my mother...” Xiao Ling struggled desperately, but she was not a match for Black Wind Old Woman. She could only struggle in vain, unable to escape the secret technique of Black Wind Old Woman.

”Alright, I’m in a good mood today. You’ve not only brought yourself here but also the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s Egg, which is something many Martial Artists dream of. I’ll reward you today by letting you meet your mother...” Black Wind Old Woman said with a hideous smile.

At this moment, the female ghost kneeling on the ground nearby hurriedly got up, trembling with fear, and disappeared into the enormous lonely grave. When she emerged, she brought with her a disheveled, haggard woman. Although this woman had grown emaciated beyond recognition, tormented into losing her human semblance, one could still tell she was indeed very beautiful. Even in this state, traces of her beauty remained, especially her pair of lively, large eyes, identical to Xiao Ling’s, yet still retaining their sparkle.

”Mother, Mother... How are you? It’s me, it’s Xiao Ling!”

The Black Wind Old Woman deliberately let Xiao Ling go. Xiao Ling, her face full of tears, ran to her mother, shouting loudly. They hadn’t seen each other for ten years. At this moment, being able to see her mother, Xiao Ling knew nothing else but crying to express herself. Ten years separated; her mother had been tortured by the Black Wind Old Woman into this state, while Xiao Ling had lived a lonely life for ten years, from worry and fear to now becoming independent and strong. She finally managed to steal the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, hoping it would help rescue her mother. But could she do it?

”Xiao Ling, is... is it really you? You shouldn’t have come here, you shouldn’t have...” Xiao Ling’s mother slowly regained some consciousness and hurriedly said anxiously.

”No, Mother, I want to rescue you from here. I’m leaving here with you.” Xiao Ling bit her lip, tears streaming down as she spoke.

”Leave quickly, Xiao Ling, leave quickly. There’s no hope, the Black Wind Old Woman won’t let us go, you must...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Ling’s mother’s neck was gripped by the female evil spirit behind her, lifting her whole body into the air. Xiao Ling shouted loudly, wanting to save her mother, but she just couldn’t catch up to the female evil spirit.

Thud!

Xiao Ling fell heavily to the ground, but she gritted her teeth and climbed back up, glaring at the female evil spirit with eyes full of hatred, almost bleeding from them. Meanwhile, the Black Wind Old Woman stood behind Xiao Ling, speaking coldly and inhumanely: ”Little girl, hand over the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, or you’ll see your mother lose her life right now.”

”Let my mother go, and I will give you the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg. Otherwise, no way!” Xiao Ling clenched her fists tightly, looking at the Black Wind Old Woman.

”Do you think you can negotiate with me? Do you have the right to negotiate with me? Look at your mother, she is about to die!” The Black Wind Old Woman’s eyes, hollow as if without eyeballs, turned coldly as she commanded Xiao Ling to look forward.

”Ah... no, don’t, don’t...”

Xiao Ling’s face was full of tears, her heart in torment, bleeding from within. Her mother was hung up by the female evil spirit, suspended from a withered tree beside the large, lonely grave, struggling in agony. Because the female evil spirit’s hand was still gripping Xiao Ling’s mother’s neck, she was in immense pain, unable to escape this dire fate.

”Hand it over, I won’t kill your mother, neither will you die. Both you and your mother’s special physiques are beneficial to me!” The Black Wind Old Woman walked up to Xiao Ling and said coldly.

”No, let my mother go!” Xiao Ling said word by word.

Plop!

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Xiao Ling’s mother’s mouth. The female evil spirit continued torturing her. Xiao Ling was on the verge of collapse witnessing this. She didn’t know how much her mother had suffered these ten years, facing such agony. Her heart bled.

”Hand over the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, or I will let you watch your mother die right now...” The Black Wind Old Woman said viciously.

Xiao Ling glanced at her mother, the pain worse than any wound on her own body. She couldn’t help but slowly take out the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg from her arms. She knew that once she handed over the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg, her and her mother’s lives would be under the control of the Black Wind Old Woman. This ruthless old hag wouldn’t let them go, but for her to watch her mother die in front of her, she just couldn’t do it. She was a filial child, with a life history of relying on her mother for survival, how could she abandon her mother? These ten years, she had tried every means, the only thing she wanted to do was to rescue her mother from the Black Wind Old Woman, a task she was willing to pay any price to achieve.

”No, Xiao Ling, no, don’t give it to her. Run, run...” Xiao Ling’s mother, seeing Xiao Ling about to hand the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg to the Black Wind Old Woman, shouted with all her might.

”Heh, you actually dare seek death, I will kill you!” The female evil spirit said fiercely to Xiao Ling’s mother.

”Xiao Ling, run quickly, don’t mind me, Black Wind Old Woman let Xiao Ling go, otherwise, I will die in front of you, and you will never be able to obtain my blood for cultivation again...” Xiao Ling’s mother knew it was dangerous. The Black Wind Old Woman was a devil, she wouldn’t spare Xiao Ling. Hence, she spoke harshly.

”Tsk tsk, you’re wrong, this little girl has the same physique as yours. Even if you die, she can be my Cultivation Material. Truly delivered to my doorstep, the heavens have favored me indeed!” The Black Wind Old Woman couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.
