The autumn leaves were withered and yellow.
A clear silhouette, graceful and beautiful.
An exquisite figure hung high in the sky.
She stood barefoot, her features like a painting, her temperament cold and otherworldly.
Clad in white as pure as snow, her hem danced with the wind.
Though suspended in the air, she stood as if on level ground, looking down from above at Ye Shu, who sat cross-legged below.
In her previous life, she had come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to find the purple spirit crystal to help her break through the Soul Transformation Bottleneck.
However, she underestimated the strength of the Purple Crystal Lion King, resulting in mutual injuries, and was picked up by Ye Shu.
Who knew this guy had ill intentions?
Under the guise of healing her, he took liberties with her and even tampered with her food and drink.
She was completely taken advantage of by this Lecher and even lost her first kiss.
In the end, because of the debt of saving her life and some inexplicable emotion, she softened for a moment and didn’t kill him, instead developing feelings that shouldn’t have existed.
Because of her soft-heartedness and affection, she remained wavering between Ye Shu and the Yunxiao Sect, which ultimately led directly to the subsequent destruction of the Yunxiao Sect.
Recalling the tragic state of the Sect’s destruction and Ye Shu’s final heartless departure, Sect Master Feng Mengli’s eyes flickered.
In this life, she appeared early to lure Ye Shu.
According to that Lecher’s personality, he would definitely not be able to resist coming out to investigate.
Yet, unexpectedly, this guy didn’t come at all.
This forced her to deal with the Purple Crystal Lion King for a long time, consuming quite a bit of spiritual power.
However, she had found him at last.
Sect Master Feng Mengli looked at Ye Shu below.
At this moment, his flesh was shattered across his body, and the xiongyuan sword in his left hand hummed and buzzed.
Radiant blue spiritual power was overflowing and wrapping around the blade like a raging blue flame, burning his left arm along with it.
What tricks is this guy playing now?
She frowned slightly, then relaxed.
No matter, whatever he was doing, she would just kill him.
Then, she looked at Lin Qingxue, her eyes filled with cold Killing Intent.
This bitch was also that Lecher’s ally; she had drugged her food, causing her to lose her purity.
Equally hateful, equally deserving of death.
Swept by Sect Master Feng Mengli’s gaze, Lin Qingxue trembled all over.
“This…
this isn’t right, is it?”
“She…
she’s here to kill you?”
She stared at the murderous Sect Master Feng Mengli before her, completely stunned, and asked Ye Shu in disbelief.
Ye Shu did not speak, nor could he.
But his eyes already answered Lin Qingxue—”Yes, so it’s still not too late for you to run now.”
“Not too late my ass!”
Lin Qingxue cursed angrily, her face full of despair.
“Why didn’t you say earlier she was here to kill you?
You made me keep following you!
If I had known, I should have run away from the very beginning!!!”
“It’s all because of you, I’m dead for sure!”
“Waaaah…
I’m dead!
It’s all because of a bad guy like you.
How can you be so wicked?
Why didn’t you say so earlier…
waaaah…”
“I’m still so young, I don’t want to die yet.”
Lin Qingxue cursed while crying, her legs so weak from fear that she collapsed powerlessly to her knees.
Just then, a voice rang in her ear.
“Stop…
stop fucking crying.”
“You didn’t ask at the time.”
Seeing that Sect Master Feng Mengli was already prepared to strike, Ye Shu had to divert his focus to speak with Lin Qingxue via Voice Transmission.
Even with Voice Transmission, his Spiritual Qi trembled from the pain.
The weeping Lin Qingxue was stunned.
Before she could react, Ye Shu used the fastest speed possible to transmit: “Now, immediately, ask the three questions I left for you.
It must be before she strikes.”
Could those three questions hold a chance for survival?
Lin Qingxue, as if grasping at a final straw, forced herself to look up at the high-and-mighty Sect Master Feng Mengli and asked loudly:
“May I ask for your name, Miss?”
“You are not worthy of knowing.”
“Have I ever offended you?”
“Never.”
“Have I ever met you?”
“Never.”
“Have I done any evil in the past that caused you to loathe me enough to hunt me down here?”
“Never.”
The three questions were finished.
Lin Qingxue was suddenly dazed.
This scene was so similar, exactly like when Ye Shu had asked her those three questions by the riverbank.
The same high-and-mighty answers.
The same baseless Killing Intent.
Only now, she was the one asking, while the one who held her life in their hands stood high above.
So this was how Ye Shu felt at that time?
Lin Qingxue suddenly burst into tears.
She realized she was wrong, terribly wrong.
Unfortunately, by the time she had this sudden awakening, she did not have Ye Shu’s strength to uphold the word ‘reason’.
Just then, a voice rang in her heart.
“Look up, don’t be afraid.”
At the same time, Ye Shu, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly snapped his eyes open.
His pupils surged with brilliant light, the azure flames on his left hand soared into the sky, and his 361 acupointss lit up to the extreme.
He squeezed out every last drop of Spiritual Qi in his body and poured it all into the xiongyuan sword.
Shing!
Shing!
Shing!!!!
The xiongyuan sword trembled violently, letting out a high-pitched, stirring hum!
A massive amount of Spiritual Qi overflowed like flames wrapping around it.
From a distance, it looked magnificent yet lethal, like a star ready to explode at any moment.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack—
Then, Ye Shu moved.
His left arm was like pig iron being forcibly twisted, bending and deforming.
Countless fragments of flesh fell from it, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
But he didn’t care at all, forcibly breaking through the side effects of the iron armor pill to swing this sword with all his might.
Clang!
The sword left his hand.
No, it didn’t just leave his hand; he had slashed the xiongyuan sword out along with the sword light.
Lin Qingxue’s beautiful eyes widened, her small mouth slightly agape.
The pressure of this sword strike had already surpassed the level a Qi Refining stage should have, and even far exceeded Foundation Establishment.
If she were the one to receive this strike, she would likely end up being split in two.
This sword strike was incredibly dazzling.
Even the sun paled in comparison.
Demonic Beasts within a radius of dozens of miles all looked up in unison, gazing curiously at this sword light that was as brilliant as the sun.
However, facing this world-shaking sword strike.
Sect Master Feng Mengli’s expression did not flicker in the slightest.
She simply raised her hand and made a grasping motion in the air.
Crack!
That sword light, which carried all of Lin Qingxue’s hope and illuminated dozens of miles, shattered in an instant.
The blade of the xiongyuan sword was firmly gripped by Sect Master Feng Mengli.
It could not advance even an inch!
It hadn’t even scratched her skin.
Lin Qingxue was in despair.
Was the gap between Qi Refining and Soul Transformation really this massive?
So much so that she couldn’t even be shaken?
“Nice fireworks.”
Sect Master Feng Mengli’s expression was indifferent as she commented calmly, “As an opening act before your death, it’s not bad.”
Fallen leaves drifted.
The last stand had failed, the sword strike was unsuccessful, and Lin Qingxue was already in despair, yet Ye Shu’s expression didn’t even change.
It was unknown whether he had already given up in despair and was waiting for death.
Or if he was simply unable to make any expression due to the side effects of the iron armor pill.
Blood flowed slowly down Ye Shu’s crippled left arm.
He sat cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation.
Whatever the reason, this eerie scene made Sect Master Feng Mengli frown slightly.
It was too calm, far too calm.
In her previous life, this Lecher had been full of oddities.
Despite his lack of strength, he could always burst forth with combat power beyond ordinary people at critical moments.
“No matter what you are, I’ll just kill you.”
Sect Master Feng Mengli suppressed the unease in her heart, and her gaze became cold once more.
Whatever strange things he had, they would be revealed in the face of death.
She no longer hesitated and raised her jade-like hand, intending to use this Lecher’s own weapon to kill him.
Shing!
The sword light was like a flash of brilliance, arriving in an instant.
She didn’t seek power, only a quick kill.
However, at this critical moment.
A tall figure stood firmly in front of Ye Shu.
It raised its head and stood proudly, its body as tall as a mountain.
Every strand of fur exuded the pressure of a powerhouse, and the purple crystal on its forehead shone brilliantly in the sunlight.
The newcomer was none other than the Purple Crystal Lion King.
When the sword light struck its body, it only knocked off a few strands of fur.
“Roar!!!!!!”
Only then did the forest-shaking roar follow, the sound waves rolling and causing leaves to rustle as they fell.
And on the Purple Crystal Lion King’s back, there seemed to be something else.
Lin Qingxue squinted her eyes and looked up.
Against the backlight, a petite beastly shadow stood with its head held high, mimicking its father’s posture as the King of All Beasts.
And at this moment.
Ye Shu finally revealed a victorious smile.
“Now, I win.”
