Chapter 37 Bloody Skull

Due to extreme fear, He Shuangshuang's long legs were tightly wrapped around Ye Bufan's waist, her arms embracing his neck, and her head buried in his chest.

Her eyes were squeezed shut as tightly as possible; she no longer dared to look around.

This put Ye Bufan in a somewhat awkward position. With such a beautiful woman clinging to him like a koala, and in such an ambiguous posture, it would be unmanly not to have any thoughts.

"Alright, come down first. I can't move with you like this."

"No, I won't! It's too scary!"

Ye Bufan had no choice but to cast a Spell again to close her Heavenly Eye, then said, "Alright, you can open your eyes now; you can't see them anymore."

He Shuangshuang slowly opened her eyes. Everything returned to darkness, and she could no longer see those terrifying things, which made her feel a bit better. However, she still clung to Ye Bufan.

"Are those monsters still there?"

"They should be!" Ye Bufan said helplessly.

"Then I'm not getting down. It's too scary here. You hurry up and take me away."

At this moment, He Shuangshuang no longer resembled the Nv Baolong (Female Tyrant) she was before; she was like a frightened little girl, tightly hugging Ye Bufan's neck.

"How can I walk with you like this?"

"I don't care! It's your fault for scaring me."

Seeing that He Shuangshuang refused to let go no matter what, Ye Bufan had no choice but to lift her bottom slightly, making the posture less awkward than before, and at last, he could move his legs.

However, he soon discovered a new awkwardness: as her position rose, He Shuangshuang's ample chest got closer and closer to his face.

Not only did her alluring body scent constantly fill his nostrils, but the enchanting scenery was also right before his eyes.

Now was not the time for liberties. He could only force himself to look away, then, like holding a child, he held He Shuangshuang, preparing to leave the place.

But just then, his expression tensed, and he stopped.

Not far away, a giant Blood-colored Skull suddenly appeared. This thing floated in mid-air, with countless evil creatures flying around it, clearly the king of this place.

Compared to other evil creatures, this one was far too powerful; it even gave Ye Bufan a sense of oppression.

He Shuangshuang asked in surprise, "Why aren't you moving? Hurry up and go!"

"Don't talk. Something powerful is coming."

The True Qi within Ye Bufan's body (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) circulated frantically, activating the Yang Qi within him to protect He Shuangshuang as well.

The Blood-colored Skull floated in mid-air, appearing as large as a bulldozer, surrounded by countless black Qi.

Its two dark, hollow eyes seemed to absorb all light, and its dark mouth, like a cave, continuously emitted sharp, screeching roars.

Just then, with a sharp roar, the Blood-colored Skull issued an attack command, and the surrounding blood mist instantly surged forward like mad, rushing towards Ye Bufan one after another.

Although these things could not break through his protective True Qi, their sheer number was too great. One or two posed no threat, but so many evil creatures attacking together consumed a lot of his energy.

"I can't stay here any longer; I must retreat immediately."

Ye Bufan resisted the evil creatures' attacks while quickly retreating towards the community entrance.

The Blood-colored Skull, like a calm commander, did not personally attack but continuously directed the surrounding evil creatures to deplete Ye Bufan's strength.

"This guy is truly terrifying; it seems to have gained some intelligence."

Ye Bufan thought to himself, he must break the Profound Yin Gathering Evil Array here, otherwise, once these evil creatures grow to a certain extent, they will bring disaster to the entire Jiangnan City.

He Shuangshuang lay in Ye Bufan's arms. Compared to the terrifying darkness around them, this was the safest harbor.

Seeing his extremely serious expression, she knew he must have encountered some unknown danger.

As the two were nearing the edge of the community, the Blood-colored Skull was clearly unwilling to let its prey escape and finally launched its own attack.

After a sharp screech, its body suddenly grew several times larger, and its dark, cavernous mouth, seemingly possessing endless suction, lunged fiercely towards Ye Bufan and He Shuangshuang.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Bufan fiercely struck out with his Nine Yang Palm, and the whistling palm wind hit the Blood-colored Skull directly.

With a loud bang, the surrounding airflow trembled violently.

This Blood-colored Skull was clearly much stronger than other evil creatures. Although it was repelled by Ye Bufan's palm, it seemed to have suffered little damage, spinning once before lunging again.

Under its leadership, the surrounding evil creatures became even more ferocious than before, charging forward like a roaring tide.

Ye Bufan repelled the Blood-colored Skull several times, but he only managed to push it back, unable to weaken its strength.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Moreover, the Yin Qi here was too dense, as if constantly replenishing the Blood-colored Skull's energy, while his own consumption grew larger and larger.

Now He Shuangshuang was much calmer than before and asked, "Have we run into big trouble?"

"It's not big trouble. I'll take care of it right away."

Ye Bufan finished speaking, flicked his fingertip, and a faint green flame flew out.

This was Dan Fire, which could only be used after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although Dan Fire's primary function was Alchemy, it was also a divine Sharp Weapon that countered all evil creatures.

However, condensing Dan Fire consumed a lot of True Qi, so he would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

The Blood-colored Skull's huge mouth was constantly emitting suction, and as soon as the Dan Fire appeared, it was sucked into its mouth.

"Ah…"

The Blood-colored Skull suddenly let out a painful shriek, the black Qi surrounding it instantly weakened significantly, and even its body size shrank by half.

Clearly, this wisp of Dan Fire caused significant damage to its true form.

Seemingly sensing the power of the person before it, it dared not entangle further, turning its head and disappearing into the darkness.

Ye Bufan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had already entered the Foundation Establishment Stage; if he had only been in the Qi Refinement Stage, encountering this guy would have been truly troublesome.

Of course, this was also because he hadn't made sufficient preparations beforehand. If he had prepared more Talismans and Magical Artifacts, dealing with this level of evil creature would have been manageable.

Without the Blood-colored Skull's entanglement, he quickly led He Shuangshuang out of the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community. Ten minutes later, the two of them returned to the brightly lit streets of the city.

Ye Bufan patted He Shuangshuang's elastic back and said, "Young Miss, we've arrived. It's time to get down!"

He Shuangshuang still asked somewhat nervously, "Are there no more of those things here?"

"No, for now, they can't leave the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community too far."

After confirming that they would not encounter those things again, He Shuangshuang jumped down from his embrace. After staying there for so long, she surprisingly felt a slight reluctance to leave his sturdy embrace.

Thinking of how she had just clung to him like a koala, her face couldn't help but burn.

To ease her embarrassment, she quickly asked, "How did you conjure that flame just now?"

Ye Bufan said, "That's a Spell; you wouldn't understand if I told you."

He Shuangshuang asked again, "You can do Spells too? Are you a doctor or a sorcerer after all?"
