In this situation, Wang Chao couldn't help but feel a bit tipsy. Although this woman could control Zombies, managing hundreds of thousands of them had taken a tremendous effort before. Now, controlling just a few dozen was already her limit. However, to Wang Chao, those few dozen Zombies were like a handful of ants—completely insignificant. Thus, it was impossible for the woman to kill him.
On the other hand, even though Wang Chao was at the Golden Intermediate level and possessed immense strength, he found himself utterly helpless against the woman's unique escape techniques. While he could inflict damage on her, it was minimal. The woman transformed into black mist, as if she had disintegrated herself. When he swung his blade, he was merely destroying some cells; in the grand scheme of things, the damage she sustained was negligible.
In simple terms, neither of them could kill the other.
Yet every step Wang Chao took was mirrored by the woman following closely behind him. Whenever he attempted to draw his weapon against her, she would dissolve into black mist and float away gracefully. This relentless pursuit made Wang Chao feel as if he might as well end his own life. He couldn't bear to imagine opening his eyes one day to see a decayed face staring back at him. Although this woman lacked any real capacity for harm, her presence was undeniably unsettling.
"Are you really going to follow me forever?" Wang Chao turned to ask her.
"Of course, until the day you die..." she replied.
Wang Chao felt helpless. What was it like to have an enemy shadowing you constantly? At that moment, he truly understood the feeling. Suddenly, he turned back and asked, "I say, miss, following me like this won't lead to anything good for you. I haven't saved you, and you're not dead either—it's just that you've become disfigured. Honestly, I think you look quite beautiful with your face covered. I swear on my life that if I weren't already taken, I'd definitely marry you. Why don't you stop following me? Just find a good person and get married..."
"Alright then, would you dare marry me?" she responded.
"By the way, what’s your name again?" Wang Chao said. "How about I call you Half-Face? Just kidding! I'll call you Little Grudge instead..." Knowing he couldn't get rid of her any other way, Wang Chao decided to use one of the most powerful methods in the world to deal with her: winning her over with kindness and emotion. To be honest, he felt a twinge of guilt towards her.
As they exited the cave, dawn was breaking. Wang Chao glanced around and saw that the cave was situated high on a cliffside; it was unclear whether it was naturally formed or man-made. The cave was halfway up the steep cliff—looking up revealed towering heights while looking down showed an unfathomable depth. Wang Chao wondered how this woman had managed to bring him back here.
"How did you get me back here?" Wang Chao asked.
He didn't turn around; he knew that this woman lacked any real offensive skills—was she going to bite him to death? Clearly an unrealistic scenario. So he kept his gaze away from Little Grudge. At that moment, he suddenly felt black mist enveloping him; he didn’t dodge or evade it and soon realized he was slowly being lifted off the ground by that very mist.
That day, it was likely that he had collided with a tree trunk or something, which caused him to lose consciousness. No matter how much he shouted, there was no response from Yang Mengying and the others. It was highly probable that he had been swept away by the black mist. The night was pitch dark, and mixed in with the black mist, he could see nothing at all. But now, as dawn broke, Wang Chao felt as if the black mist was carrying him through the air.
This was Wang Chao's first experience of flying through the air, and it felt absolutely exhilarating.
Wrapped in the black mist, he was directly carried to the edge of a cliff. Just as Wang Chao was filled with emotions, suddenly, the black mist dispersed, leaving him completely unsupported as he plummeted from the sky. "Little Grudge, I swear I'm going to curse you!" Wang Chao shouted, but now that he was mid-air, even if he drew out the Panlong Blade or transformed it into a Bone Knife, he wouldn't have enough distance to do anything.
He had no idea how deep the chasm below was.
At this moment, Wang Chao felt utterly helpless; calling out to the heavens yielded no response and calling out to the earth brought no relief. The most infuriating part was that Little Grudge had transformed into a swirling mass of black mist, following closely beside him as if she wanted to witness his fall into the abyss and shatter into countless pieces before she would be satisfied. Wang Chao spun around in panic; he wasn't a birdman, but at that moment, he wished he could sprout a pair of wings and fly away.
What a blunder this was!
Two minutes later, Wang Chao still couldn't see the bottom of the deep valley. This was truly deep! Suddenly, a large tree appeared before him. Wang Chao's heart leaped with joy as he kicked off from it. However, although the branch was thick, it was still just a twig; under his weight, it snapped. As a result, Wang Chao was sent tumbling in another direction.
With a crash, Wang Chao slammed against the wall. He quickly drew out the Panlong Blade and plunged it deep into the rock face. The Panlong Blade sliced through iron like mud; it penetrated deep into the rock and continued sliding down for hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop. Thanks to its sharpness, cutting through the solid rock felt like slicing through tofu. If not for the sheer height of the cliff, he would have already fallen to the valley floor before stopping.
At this moment, Wang Chao finally saw what lay at the bottom of the valley. It seemed that this chasm was several thousand meters deep! Where on earth had he ended up? He wondered how Jing City could have such towering mountains and deep ravines. In the depths of the valley grew ferns taller than humans—wasn't this reminiscent of ancient plants?
The cliff face was so high that Wang Chao couldn't climb back up right away; instead, it would be better to look around for another way out. With this thought in mind, he sheathed his Panlong Blade and began scanning his surroundings when Little Grudge floated down beside him. Seeing that Wang Chao was unharmed, she coldly remarked, "I didn't expect you to survive such a fall!"
Wang Chao shot her a glare but said nothing.
After taking a few steps forward, Wang Chao realized that this place was far more ancient than he had imagined. The fungi on the ground were each as large as umbrellas and vibrantly colored—clearly poisonous mushrooms. After walking a few more steps, he spotted a yellow hornet about the size of an adult human thumb flying past him. At last, Wang Chao understood: this place was an isolated ancient world!
Little Grudge did not recognize this place either; she could only see the mist swirling in the distance. She asked, "What exactly is this place?"
"Now you remember me, huh?" Wang Chao cursed, grumbling.
