The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Madness

Having spoken, before anyone could react, the Princess had already struck out at Zhao Si and Qian Wang. She unleashed a blast of dark energy directly towards the direction of Zhao Si and Qian Wang, knocking them down and sending them retreating several meters, until they hit the wall and came to a stop.

Zhao Si and Qian Wang, without any time to react, were sent flying against the wall, then fell to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

It was clear that both of them had sustained serious internal injuries. Moreover, that black energy was essentially ghost energy. Their bodies were already corroded by the ghost energy.

Their conditions visibly deteriorated at a speed observable to the naked eye, their skin turning black. In just a moment, they were lying on the ground convulsing, seemingly on the brink of death.

Witnessing this scene, Zhong Niangyao quickly stepped forward, taking out two yellow talismans from her bag, continually chanting spells.

The yellow talismans spontaneously ignited without fire, landing on Zhao Si and Qian Wang. Instantly, the horrendous black color began to recede from their bodies.

By the time the flames died out, their skin had returned to its original appearance. Although they were extraordinarily pale due to their severe injuries, it seemed that their lives were, for the moment, no longer in danger.

Having narrowly escaped death, both Zhao Si and Qian Wang were left with a lingering fear.

They were tomb robbers, aware that danger could arise at any moment during their excavations, and death was always a possibility. But knowing this was one thing, facing it was quite another. They never imagined they would come so close to death one day.

Coming back to their senses, the two swiftly scurried to a corner that seemed safe. Although it wasn’t entirely secure, it offered some psychological comfort.

Seeing that Zhao Si and Qian Wang were out of danger, the Princess obviously was not content to let them be; she moved swiftly forward, intending to attack them again.

This was not because she was particularly keen on keeping her promise, but rather because Zhong Niangyao’s actions were a challenge to her authority. Now, she was determined that these two men must die.

In the blink of an eye, the Princess arrived in front of Zhao Si and Qian Wang. She extended her hand, her nails having grown wildly long, pointed, and thin, emanating waves of black energy, the consequences of which one could only imagine if they were to scratch someone.

Zhao Si wanted to dodge, but their bodies seemed suddenly fixed in place, utterly unable to move, and they could only watch helplessly as those claws drew closer.

Just as the claws were about to grasp them, a delicate white hand suddenly appeared, grabbing the claw, preventing any further movement however hard the other tried.

“Are you deliberately opposing me, is that it?” the Princess asked, her gaze towards Zhong Niangyao icy and bone-chilling, the black energy around her growing even more intense, “Then I will deal with you first.”

As she spoke, she did not hesitate to launch an attack at Zhong Niangyao.

Zhong Niangyao, for her part, did not have any strong compulsion to save Zhao Si and Qian Wang. She acted purely because she did not want to watch someone die before her eyes.

Facing the Princess’s fierce onslaught, Zhong Niangyao remained composed and more than capable.

She showed no mercy, striking flesh with each punch. Moreover, during the combat, she infused some of her spiritual power into every strike.

In just a short moment, the Princess was already covered in injuries, with bruises on her body and face, almost unrecognizable from before.

Those watching couldn’t help but feel pain for the Princess.

At the same time, their admiration for Zhong Niangyao grew when they looked at her. She was truly formidable, wasn’t she? Even a ghost could be beaten to such a state. They began to wonder if the fight continued like this, would the Princess end up dying another death.

“I will kill you,” proclaimed the Princess, her pain making her more crazed than ever. She kept activating the power of Merfolk Tears to heal her wounds.

She did not understand how Zhong Niangyao was able to inflict such harm upon her. Although she had taken over this woman’s body, essentially, she was still a ghost. Normally, she should not be able to feel pain at all.

Now, the only thought in her mind was to kill the woman before her.

The Princess’s eyes turned blood red, her hair grew wildly, and a cold wind began to blow around her, causing the temperature in the main tomb to drop noticeably.

Everyone shuddered involuntarily.

“Die!” shouted the Princess, her wildly grown hair turning into steel-like whips, shooting towards Zhong Niangyao.

Zhong Niangyao, calm and collected, took out a pen from her bag and started drawing talismans on thin air.

“Go—”

Just as the hair was about to strike, Zhong Niangyao’s talisman materialized.

A symbol glowing with golden light formed the talisman, blocking the Princess’s attack. Not only that, but the golden light flew straight towards the Princess.

Although the exact nature of the talisman Zhong Niangyao drew was unknown, the Princess instinctively tried to escape. The symbol felt exceedingly dangerous to her, and she knew that if she were truly struck by it, it would likely end badly for her.

Regrettably, she was a step too late, and the talisman hit her squarely. Instantly, she felt like her soul was being burned by fierce fire. The pain that penetrated deep into her bones made her let out a shrill scream.

“Ah—”

The sharp and piercing sound echoed within the main tomb, giving everyone the impression that their eardrums were under severe assault. They all covered their ears instinctively, but the situation did not improve.

In just a few moments, the Princess was gasping for breath, seemingly on the verge of being rejected by the body she inhabited.

Perhaps feeling she had punished the Princess enough, Zhong Niangyao muttered her spell.

The Princess suddenly felt the pain in her body disappear, but her soul had still been greatly damaged, and it could dissipate at any moment.

“Aren’t you going to leave that body?” Zhong Niangyao asked in a calm voice, “Given your current condition, you shouldn’t have much strength left to remain in that body, right? If you continue to waste your energy here, you’ll probably dissipate very soon.”
