XunMi tapped her feet and sat on the ledge, watching with interest.
GongZi Su appeared noiselessly by her side and handed her a plate of washed Mengluo fruit.
XunMi casually grabbed one and popped it into her mouth. After finishing chewing the first fruit, she finally remembered to look up for the source of her snack.
Tilting her head, her eyes met a face that could make young maidens’ hearts’ skip even in the dark. Her ears turned red. Ah ah ah, didn’t even notice when husband appeared, how shameful.
GongZi Su copied XunMi’s position and sat on the ledge to watch the distant showdown. He placed the plate down so that it would be within XunMi’s reach.
“SuSu, thank you.” XunMi lightly said while grabbing for another Mengluo fruit to nibble on. The originally sweet Mengluo fruit now tasted as if it was overflowing with sweetness.
Within a few minutes time, Liu ZhenXin had already moved up to battling GuiYuan sect head himself. A soul sage at his peak versus someone just at the brink of soul sage level. Logic would say GuiYuan head sect would dominate, but reality was Liu ZhenXin was overpowering GuiYuan sect head in every aspect.
Those who had rushed over after hearing the rumors were in astonished. Even XunMi raised an eyebrow.
Liu ZhenXin must have some hidden treasures on her, or else she couldn’t be so powerful.
Seeing Liu ZhenXin smack GuiYuan sect head away with one palm, XunMi stood up. She smoothed out her clothes. It was about time she entered the stage.
“Be careful.” Just as XunMi was about to step out, a cold voice spoke with added concern.
XunMi turned to GongZi Su and smiled sweetly, “Wait for me.” Wait for me to come back and find you. Wait for me to go to ShengGu to find you.
In the dark night sky, her lofty red figure was seductively eye-catching. GongZi Su quietly sat down in his original place and watched her red silhouette wander through the crowd.
As soon as XunMi appeared, Ouyang HanShuang and the others immediately took noticed. Her clothing style was too distinguishing: only XunMi could make that red gown seem so elegantly enticing.
“Teacher,” Ouyang HanShuang stepped forward and pretended to give a brief summary of events to her late teacher.
XunMi nodded, “Liu ZhenXin is our LiuGuang sect’s member. However, we won’t be biased, those who have done wrong deserve to be punished. Senior brother, first go placate those other sects with XuanGuang senior brother. I’ll go seize Liu ZhenXin.”
After undergoing a one-way massacre, the rest of the fighters had no more desire to steal treasures. They wanted to kill the woman that caused them to lose so many elite members of their sect. But they knew their own strength, so they didn’t dare attack again. Hearing LiuGuang sect say that they were willing to step forward to take care of the situation, they quickly separated to give XunMi room.
GuiYuan sect head, with the help of a disciple, stumbled over to XunMi and cupped one fist in his other hand as a sign of respect. “Thank you Miss XunMi for undertaking the task of subduing this evil creature and for giving justice for those injured sect disciples.”
XunMi raised an eyebrow. This GuiYuan sect head really knew how to talk. He was trying to push all the problems onto Liu Guang sect and claim themselves as innocent? Would innocent people appear in a woman’s residence in the middle of the night?
How laughable.
She snorted, bypassed him and headed towards Liu ZhenXin. With a flash, she had entered the fight.
“Liu ZhenXin, you still haven’t woken up? If you don’t stop now, then don’t blame me for showing now mercy.” XunMi held her jade flute horizontal to her chest. Her eyes were chilly as she spoke with moral austerity.
Ouyang HanShuang secretly rolled her eyes on the sidelines. And her teacher dared to ridicule her for being dramatic? Look, she’s pretty over the top herself, okay! Can’t she see that all the men around them were looking at her with utmost adoration?
Liu ZhenXin didn’t have the rationality to respond to XunMi’s words. She could only tell that this woman in red before her was a bit familiar. The ruthless violence in her heart began rising again. There was a voicec telling her, kill her, kill her, kill her.
“Ah!” She raised the chain in her hand and charged at XunMi. Her demon energy didn’t decrease. Rather the killing intent surrounding Liu ZhenXin increased, causing the shaking audience to step back one step further.
XunMi’s eyes darkened. What exactly was this extra force, why was it so powerful?
Wind-borne flower petals twirled around XunMi, constructing a firm layer of protection. Her body was still weak. Any little injury could cause her entire body to collapse again.
The sharp shout echoed through the night, carrying a boundless killing intent. A call hungering for bloodshed, a shudder of the soul, the urge to fight to the death.
A pair of bony hands advanced down towards XunMi. However, an invisible force nailed her down to the floor while making her insides stir even more restlessly with agitation.
On the other side, a red liquid dripped down from XunMi’s lips but was quickly absorbed by her ice blue jade flute. Her light breath was immediately covered with the smell of blood.
“Ah ah, I want to kill you!” Liu ZhenXin repeatedly broke through XunMi’s YinSha tactical formation, leaving deep wounds all over her body. However, even though her wounds were deep to the bone, Liu ZhenXin showed no signs of stopping. She continuously forged ahead, continuously waved the chain in her hands.
The power of the black iron chain, a high ranking magic treasures, was already formidable.
XunMi’s eyes narrowed. Everyone could see from the current situation. If she were to attack with the purpose of killing, it would be completely logical.
With a change in pitch, she transformed her attack to her own creation, Mie.
Mie, meaning to destroy but also representing the rebirth rising from the extinguished ashes. The melody flowed smoothly yet was ear-piercing. The melody attacked from all directions and poured into Liu ZhenXin’s body. The flower petals surrounding XunMi suddenly flew rapidly and completely binded around Liu ZhenXin. They refused to allow her to budge.
With the combination of XunMi’s magic and spiritual power, the jade flute transformed into a sharp dagger and penetrated into Liu ZhenXin’s heart.
Standing behind LiuZhenXin, XunMi’s lips curled up nefariously. When she turned around, her expression had returned to coldness.
Liu ZhenXin preserved the fierce malevolence in her face. Her hands waved disorderly before finally freezing. Her wide eyes clearly expressed her incredulity and inability to accept.
“Drip, drip, drip.” The sound of blood dripping onto the limestone floor was particularly clear in this instant.
“Teacher, you’re hurt!” Ouyang HanShuang screamed as she noticed that the hand holding her jade flute was unceasingly dripping blood.
But before she could fling herself over to her teacher, another person had already rushed over and carried her teacher away.
Ouyang HanShuang puckered her lips and pitifully frowned before quickly following behind them.
GongZi Su’s entire body was emitting a cold air that could freeze people in their place. The only reason he had allowed the woman in his embrace to go out was under the guarantee that she wouldn’t be harmed.
But the results were now telling him: she had allowed herself to get hurt.
