Cheng Xiaoxiao finally saw Chu Yunshen’s dragon energy getting sucked into the center of the seven men.

She looked at the rest of the men stuck in this same pose and promptly realized what Uncle Gen was trying to do.

Uncle Gen was trying to absorb their life force!

But how did he do it?

Why was he able to absorb their life force like an evil spirit?

This was not the time to figure it out! Their life force was getting absorbed by the center of the formation like a bottomless pit. She had to check it out immediately.

Cheng Xiaoxiao cautiously walked up behind Uncle Gen. Since she was a cat, not a sound could be heard as she walked over.

Cheng Xiaoxiao opened her mouth wide in shock for a long time when she saw the center of the formation.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was naturally surprised when she saw an invisible vortex at the center of the formation.

Chu Yunshen’s dragon energy was encircled by energy with the same color as the ghost Qi that Zhong Ming was surrounded in earlier.

The gold dragon energy kept getting suppressed by the ghost Qi until it turned into dark energy. Dark energy swirled as it flowed towards the ground.

Uncle Gen had yet noticed Cheng Xiaoxiao standing behind him. He kept looking at Chu Yunshen and the others excitedly with a greedy gleam in his eyes.

All their life energy was his!

“The moment the ultra zombies were ready, it is only a matter of time when Wu will conquer the world!”

Uncle Gen laughed without restraint. He could not wait to suck Chu Yunshen and the others dry of their life force.

She could not stand by and let this go on!

If she did not do something now, Chu Yunshen and the others would die.

Chu Yunshen was looking increasingly pale and Xiaowu and the others looked like they were in growing pain. She decided to pounce onto Uncle Gen.

Although her paws had only recently recovered, her claws were quite sharp.

Uncle Gen did not expect the lion cat to attack him, so he got scratched right away.

“Ow!” moaned Uncle Gen as he covered the back of his head and turned around when Cheng Xiaoxiao scratched him.

“You stupid animal again!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao had already run far away from Uncle Gen. She was worried that Uncle Gen would kick her aside.

It was impossible for him to get to her. That stupid old fool!

“Meow meow meow!” Although Cheng Xiaoxiao felt worried, she shook her head at Uncle Gen smugly.

Uncle Gen naturally didn’t understand what she was saying, but he felt triggered when he saw the smug look on the cat’s face.

“I will give you a taste of my Cold Wind Attack and use your blood as consecration!”

Cold Wind Attack?

What kind of stupid name was that?

Even though Cheng Xiaoxiao found the name stupid, she felt anxious.

After all, she was a lion cat, so she did not know martial arts or have powerful internal energy like Chu Yunshen and the others.

The moment Uncle Gen finished his sentence, he changed his gestures and the signs that he made became even more complicated.

After Uncle Gen completed the gestures, Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly heard wind gusting by her ears.

The wind sounded cold and eerie as it came sweeping towards Cheng Xiaoxiao and instantly appeared in front of her.

The jade pendant hanging on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s neck gave off a piercing yellow glow immediately. After the light subsided, the sound of the wind disappeared leaving a soft yellow light radiating from the jade pendant.

What happened to the Cold Wind Attack?

Since Cheng Xiaoxiao did not dodge in time, she thought she was dead meat. However, her jade pendant surprisingly neutralized the attack.

Was the jade pendant able to absorb the Cold Wind Attack?

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt delighted when she discovered that the jade pendant absorbed some spiritual energy when it neutralized the Cold Wind Attack.

Cold Wind Attack was similar to ghost Qi, so the jade pendant was able to absorb it and transform it into spiritual energy.

That certainly sounded great.

In that case, Cheng Xiaoxiao was going to exchange a few blows with this cunning old man who was always up to no good!

Now that Cheng Xiaoxiao was confident she was able to handle the matter, she started to act brazenly.

Uncle Gen didn’t know anything about the lion cat’s secret. He simply thought she had unintentionally evaded his blow.

He did not take it to heart.

After all, Cheng Xiaoxiao was dead meat from Uncle Gen’s perspective.

Uncle Gen was devious and wary. Also, Cheng Xiaoxiao was afraid Uncle Gen might have some other moves to use against her.

If Uncle Gen learned of her secret and stopped using the Cold Wind Attack against her, she would be at a disadvantage.

If Uncle Gen managed to catch up with her and attacked her physically, she would not be able to fight back.

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew she could not look cocky. Instead, she acted frightened as she jumped around and escaped.

Cheng Xiaoxiao certainly had a keen grasp of Uncle Gen’s mentality.

Uncle Gen felt happy when he saw the lion cat darting around desperately.

“Go on and run! Just you try!”

The Cold Wind Attack came bearing down on Cheng Xiaoxiao in all directions as Uncle Gen summoned it with his gestures repeatedly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had to pretend she was not hit and absorb the Cold Wind Attack. She felt she was incredibly talented at acting.

The spiritual energy in the jade pendant kept increasing as it neutralized the Cold Wind Attack.

Cheng Xiaoxiao occasionally looked scared as she meowed in agony every now and then.

In an instant, the sound of the wind, meowing and Uncle Gen’s sinister chuckles could be heard throughout the house.

It was about time.

The jade pendant was already bright yellow. Cheng Xiaoxiao knew she could not keep on fighting. It was futile to keep fighting Uncle Gen in cat form when Chu Yunshen’s life force was being sucked out of him.

She had to transform into human form!

She could fight better after taking the shape of a human!

Otherwise, it made no sense for her to hang around and wait for Uncle Gen to attack her.

Cheng Xiaoxiao decisively pretended she was struck by Uncle Gen’s Cold Wind Attack and fell squarely on the ground in the corner of the house.

Uncle Gen did not fall for her ploy as easily this time. He deliberately walked up in front of the lion cat in the dark corner and wanted to examine her corpse.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had resurrected from the dead and she was not going to let him touch her.

She was quick-witted and noticed a stone on the ground in the nick of time.

That was it!

Let’s do this!

The stone wasn’t particularly large, but it was a decent size. It was good enough to make a man pass out with a single strike. Moreover, Cheng Xiaoxiao was using spiritual energy to attack Uncle Gen.

The closer Uncle Gen came towards the lion cat, the more he sensed something amiss. By the time he saw the lion cat looking at him sneakily, he instantly realized he was fooled.

He got deceived by a stupid cat two times in a row.

If it had happened to Cheng Xiaoxiao, she would have gone nuts.

Sure enough, Uncle Gen was furious. He strode over swiftly and wanted to pick up the lion cat by her nape.

Even though he moved quickly, Cheng Xiaoxiao was faster.

THUD!

A dull sound echoed in the air and something could be heard falling onto the ground. The sound had come from Uncle Gen as he fainted and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, her efforts had paid off.

Uncle Gen thought that was just some random expression on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s face. In reality, she was trying to control the rock.

The rock had done this trick and made Uncle Gen pass out.

Now was a perfect time!

The jade pendant gave off the bright yellow light. After the light disappeared, the lion cat was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a young woman dressed in blue with large, beautiful eyes stood in its place.

Cheng Xiaoxiao wasted no time. She quickly ran to the center of the room.

She attempted to move Chu Yunshen out of the formation. However, Chu Yunshen refused to budge no matter how she tried.

She could not believe it!

What kind of formation was she dealing with?

Cheng Xiaoxiao realized brute force was not going to solve the problem. She could only stop and observe the Seven Star Yin Formation.

She did not have the chance to have a close look earlier and only managed to study it now.

Dark energy kept getting pulled down the black vortex and went into the ground effortlessly. The dark energy seemed to be trying to flow underground.

Was there something hidden in the ground?

Chu Yunshen was so ghastly pale that the fine capillaries under his skin were visible. Cheng Xiaoxiao could not sit by and do nothing.

She had no choice!

She had to dig!

However, she could not do it with her hands alone.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked left and right. The moment she saw the swords that Xiaowu the others left on the ground, her eyes lit up.

Perfect! She could borrow their swords!

The dried blood covering Xiaowu’s sword was evidence of their previous battle.

He had bitten the tip of his tongue earlier. It must have been very painful to do it!

“Stupid old man! I will take care of you when Chu Yunshen and the others wake up!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao glared at Uncle Gen angrily before she picked up one of the sword’s sheaths and started to dig the ground at the heart of the vortex.

Initially, she thought it would be a major production. However, she surprisingly managed to find something buried under the ground after slight digging.

Was it that easy?

From the looks of it, Uncle Gen did not expect anyone to come over and dig under the formation, so he buried it under the ground without any consideration.

What was buried under the ground?

Cheng Xiaoxiao pondered deeply before she threw the sword aside and use her hands to dig until she finally saw the object buried there.

She held the three bundles she had found with two fingers in disgust before placing them on her palm and holding it up in front of her.

It seemed like some kind of hair.

There were three locks of dark shiny hair. They did not appear as though they had been buried in the ground for a long time. Instead, they looked like they were put in there recently.

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew this only make them appear even stranger.

After Cheng Xiaoxiao had dug up the hair from the ground, she was studying it against the light when black energy suddenly appeared in her hands.

“Ah!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was so startled that she screamed and threw the hair onto the ground altogether.

She was afraid something else might happen to the hair, so she gritted her teeth and pulled the hair in front of her with her paw.

Fortunately, only black smoke was emanating from it. Also, it was unable to do any harm to Cheng Xiaoxiao.

After the black smoke dissipated, the black hair lost its shine.

Since nothing else happened to the hair, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered by it.

Chu Yunshen and the others fell to the ground.

Wake up!

Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered with the hair anymore. The hair was probably useless now. She threw it on the ground and turned to check on Chu Yunshen.

Even though Chu Yunshen was still pale, he was starting to look better now that dragon energy was not getting sucked out of his body.

Xiaowu and the others were still unconscious. They were probably too weak to wake up.

Never mind. They would wake up in time.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was wondering how she ended up destroying the formation so effortlessly when she was promptly slapped in the face by reality.

A strange light radiated from the spot where the hair was previously buried. It did not seem like dark energy. Instead, it seemed like the color of jade.

Was there something else in the ground?
