The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2446: Superficial Mastery (2)

Yang Ruxin exited the courtyard, accompanied by Du Chengxiu and his wife.

"Yang Ruxin, today is either your demise or mine." Diewu understood that failure would make future attempts on Yang Ruxin's life significantly harder, thus she resolved to give her all, prepared to perish together.

"It will undoubtedly be you who dies," Yang Ruxin responded, her gaze fixed on Diewu.

"Ah!" Diewu suddenly shrieked, unleashing a formidable Inner Strength that erupted like a tempest, scattering everyone in its vicinity.

"Could she be practicing nefarious arts?" Yang Ruxin's eyelid twitched. The display felt eerily similar to scenes from a television drama, more akin to cheap special effects.

"Soul Devouring Technique!" Du Chengxiu's expression shifted drastically. "Indeed, it is an evil art. Madam, let us retreat for the moment."

"Soul Devouring Technique?" Yang Ruxin queried, her brow furrowed. "Does it absorb the soul?"

"Precisely," Du Chengxiu affirmed with a nod. "I'm not entirely certain, but I witnessed it once more than a decade ago. Clearly, she has only attained a superficial mastery."

"Then, does mastering the Soul Devouring Technique grant invincibility or immunity to all poisons?" Yang Ruxin inquired further.

Du Chengxiu shook his head. "Neither. It is merely said to amplify one's Inner Strength and allow for the absorption of souls..."

"If she is not immune to all poisons, what is there to truly fear?" Yang Ruxin's lips curved into a sly smile; after all, poisons were her specialty.

Meanwhile, Diewu had already launched herself at Yang Ruxin but was intercepted by Gu Yao and the others. However, they were flung aside after merely a few exchanges.

Yang Ruxin observed Diewu's lunging attack and, with a sudden flick of her wrists, made a subtle movement.

Under the pale moonlight, two shadowy figures moved with incredible swiftness.

When Xiaolun and Xiaoyin engage in combat, their speed is akin to lightning; individuals with average Inner Strength and poor vision would struggle to track their movements.

Diewu's focus remained entirely on Yang Ruxin, her hand reaching out with malevolent intent.

Yang Ruxin felt an overwhelming force, as if caught in a vortex, involuntarily drawn towards her attacker.

"Madam!" Du Chengxiu and members of the Ye Family quickly grasped Yang Ruxin from either side.

"Hold onto Madam firmly," Du Chengxiu commanded suddenly, releasing his grip to engage Diewu.

Diewu was compelled to divert one hand to contend with Du Chengxiu. Yet, after only four or five clashes, he was sent flying backward, spitting blood nearby.

"Husband," the Ye Family matriarch cried out, though she did not loosen her hold.

"I am unharmed," Du Chengxiu quickly stated, retrieving a Medicine Pill from his pocket and consuming it. "Just ensure Madam is safe."

The Ye Family matriarch let out a collective sigh of relief.

Yang Ruxin sensed a terrifying sensation, as if something within her was on the verge of being ripped away. Even the child within her womb seemed to perceive the imminent danger, beginning to stir.

But just as Yang Ruxin felt herself about to be forcefully separated, the opponent's oppressive power abruptly receded. She drew a relieved breath, though a lingering physical discomfort caused a cold sweat to break out on her skin.

Diewu let out a piercing shriek and stumbled back several paces. She realized with shock that she had been repeatedly bitten by snakes without even noticing.

Despite multiple attempts to summon her Inner Strength, she found herself incapable of mustering it. Her body grew increasingly numb, the poison proving impossible to expel. A cry of utter despair escaped her lips as she turned to flee.

However, Gu Yao and the others had already recovered and were now surrounding her, their resolve firm to prevent her escape.
