I'm farming treasure chests in the female-oriented world.

Chapter 95 Instant Kill

The silver corpse lunged at Xia Xue.

The metallic nails pierced straight towards Xia Xue's throat.

He was determined to win this attack.

He even had the leisure to notice the three little guys below.

"Huh, this girl also has an aura that I find repulsive, exactly the same as the one in front of me. She must be his junior. Hehe, after I kill him, I'll properly torture this girl and make sure she suffers a fate worse than death."

Thinking of torturing people, a nostalgic look appeared on the silver corpse's face.

"I wonder if my skills have gotten rusty after not practicing for so long?"

As he was imagining the wonderful life after victory, a strange sense of unease rose from the bottom of his heart.

"What's going on? Why am I feeling panicked? My heart isn't beating at all, yet I still have this illusion of it racing? What's happening to me?"

The silver corpse quickly spotted the source of his unease.

A phoenix phantom composed of dark blue flames flew out from the mysterious black-robed, white-faced man who was about to be pierced by his claws. It let out a phoenix cry, turned into a blur, and rushed towards him.

"No!"

He tried to dodge, but by the time he saw the afterimage, the black phoenix was already upon him, pouncing on him. A strong sense of unease and palpitations instantly surged into his heart.

That feeling of death surged back at him.

He let out a desperate roar.

Then, a cold flame ignited from within his body. The corpse energy transformed from the netherworld energy, the source of his life and power, instantly burned fiercely like raging oil.

His body was burning rapidly at the speed of light, as if it had turned into a piece of firewood. He didn't want to make such a comparison, but it was the only appropriate one he could think of at that moment.

He felt like he was about to burn out completely.

The mysterious figure simply stood there silently in mid-air, watching him with a slightly weary and indifferent gaze, before being burned to ashes.

"No--"

In endless resentment, the silver corpse left behind only a lingering echo and a wisp of ashes carried away by the wind. Then, just a foot away from Xia Xue, it vanished forever into the air.

……

Hu Jiu felt an instant sense of death after being glanced at by that silver corpse.

He knew that in the eyes of this silver corpse, the three of them were nothing more than three ants that could be dealt with at will. Once that senior was dealt with, it would be time to deal with them.

At this moment, he even had a feeling of time passing by, looking back on his short thirty years of life. He felt that he had regrets but also that his life was wonderful. He even had the illusion that dying like this would be a wonderful ending.

The fat martial artist's intuition was even sharper. When the killing intent, that pure killing intent, approached him, his face remained calm. It was nothing more than death. He had already been prepared for this when he decided to join Hu Jiu and Yang Rui's exploration team. He just didn't expect that day to come so soon.

Sensing the silver corpse's murderous intent, Yang Rui felt not fear, but rather a sense of humiliation and offense.

It's as if she was supposed to be the nemesis of these silver corpses, that killing them should be as easy as killing chickens for her. Yet one of the silver corpses showed her murderous intent, which was simply a reversal of the natural order.

Yang Rui had a look on her face that said she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She didn't know why she had such a strange illusion before she died.

Then, all of this vanished instantly after a dark blue fire phoenix emerged from the mysterious man.

Whenever they saw this fire phoenix, only one thought echoed in their hearts.

It is the nemesis of all ghostly beings in the world. With it around, even a powerful creature like the Silver Corpse can only meet its demise on the spot.

Sure enough, the moment the fire phoenix appeared, black flames burst forth from the silver corpse. Not long after the fire phoenix disappeared, the silver corpse was also burned to ashes. A gust of wind blew by, and not even ashes were left behind.

The three exchanged a glance, looking at the mysterious figure who remained silently suspended in mid-air.

Xia Xue recovered some of her true energy in a few breaths, regaining some ability to protect herself. She then looked down at the three of them and said, "The matter has been resolved. We'll meet again someday."

After saying that, he vanished in a flash.

The three opened their mouths, as if they had countless things to say, but looking at the mysterious figure that had already disappeared from the spot, all their words were stuck in their throats, and they could no longer speak them out.

Hu Jiu let out a long breath, feeling a wave of weakness wash over him. He suggested to Yang Rui, "I'll leave my gratitude to you. When you see the senior in the Red Lotus Space, please convey my thanks. Now, let's go back. I need to report this to the City Lord's Mansion; it's no small matter."

Silver corpses have appeared.

A clash between masters of the Xuanzong level.

This is certainly no small matter.

The fat man's face broke into a carefree smile once again.

"Miss Yang, please give my regards to my senior. Also, please make sure you pay the full amount this time. This trip almost scared me to death."

Yang Rui nodded helplessly at first, promising to pass on a message to the two of them, and then glared at the fat man with annoyance.

"Don't worry, the compensation for calming your nerves will definitely satisfy you."

Then, somewhat worried, she asked Hu Jiu, "About Senior..."

Hu Jiu directly refused, saying, "I must say, the impact of this matter is too great. Although you are from a family of Xuanxiu, you have not entered the Dao before and are not a Xuanxiu at all. You do not understand what this matter means."

Then, changing the subject, he said, "Don't worry, senior, I have been kind to you, and I will do my best to speak well of you."

Yang Rui nodded in relief after hearing Hu Jiu's assurance.

"Let's go, it'll be dark soon."

Yang Rui's words drew laughter from the fat man.

"You estimated it based on the usual time it takes to enter the tomb? You forgot, we've only been here for a few minutes this time."

Yang Rui glanced at the time, as if in a daze, and exclaimed, "Only a few minutes have passed? It feels like hours have gone by."

Hu Jiu also sighed.

The time between life and death is always exceptionally long.

The three figures disappeared into the mountains and forests, just like in countless adventure stories, and returned to the city, resuming their daily lives.

Xia Xue's figure flashed and appeared in the center of the ancient tomb, in front of the bronze coffin, where the corpse of the Underworld Master lay.

With a wave of her right hand, Xia Xue sent the corpse of the Underworld Master flying out of the bronze coffin and landing on the ground to the side.

Other miscellaneous items inside also flew out automatically and were displayed around the room.

Xia Xue then rubbed her hands together, took a deep breath, made several gestures of praying to the gods and Buddhas, and muttered some incantations.

"May the Three Pure Ones, the Buddha, God, and Allah bless me, grant me a golden opportunity."

After Xia Xue finished doing all this, she carefully and gently touched the bronze coffin, while silently estimating in her mind.

"Generally speaking, bronze coffins are extremely powerful objects in legends. Judging from the charm of this bronze coffin, the fluctuations of spiritual energy, the accumulation of more than a thousand years of history, and its role as the core of a feng shui formation, this bronze coffin is definitely a treasure. I just don't know what level of treasure it is, or which of my abilities it will be compatible with."

Xia Xue guessed that it was probably due to its compatibility with the Nether Phoenix bloodline she had just obtained.

However, even after one, two, or three breaths had passed, the system still hadn't given any notification.

Xia Xue withdrew her hand with a look of disappointment.

"That shouldn't be the case. When I faced the bronze coffin before, I had a premonition that it was the treasure that resonated with me."

Why not?

"Was my hunch wrong?"
