“Hmph!”
“A beast is still a beast.
Do you not know how to cherish it when I spare your life?”
Facing the majestic Lion King before her, Sect Master Feng Mengli showed no fear.
In her previous life, she had suffered greatly at the hands of this beast, but that did not mean she would repeat the same mistakes in this life.
The sense of superiority from her Rebirth gave her something akin to a Heavenly Eye.
The Lion King’s weaknesses and strengths were all perfectly clear to her.
Her previous decision to flee without fighting was merely out of fear that the Lecher Ye Shu would seize the opportunity to escape; now that both were present, she would simply kill them together.
However, she had calculated everything.
Yet she had overlooked one single thing.
And this one thing was enough to plunge her into an abyss.
That was—Ye Shu’s decisiveness!
Just as Sect Master Feng Mengli’s eyes grew cold and she prepared to strike, Ye Shu’s remaining right hand abruptly formed a seal, tearing away fragments of flesh and blood.
Immediately after, the xiongyuan sword suddenly let out a trembling chime.
Following that—
Bang!!!!
The xiongyuan sword…
shattered!
“How is that possible?!”
Sect Master Feng Mengli looked at her right hand in disbelief, and before she could react, a blinding white light erupted from the shattered xiongyuan sword!
Boom!!!!!
The terrifying Spiritual Pressure instantly pierced the sky, and the violent explosion resounded throughout the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Crack, crack, crack!
The surrounding trees were snapped and pulverized by this terrifying shockwave as if they were made of paper!
Sect Master Feng Mengli was caught off guard, and her right hand, which was holding the sword, along with half of her forearm, were instantly engulfed by the violent turbulent spiritual energy!
She let out a muffled groan and retreated violently.
Her white dress was stained with blood once more, and her right arm was left in a tattered state, hanging loosely from her shoulder as blood poured out like a fountain!
“You…!!!”
She looked at Ye Shu in disbelief.
Those cold eyes finally revealed a hint of fear.
How could this person be so willing to sacrifice?
“How is this firework?”
Ye Shu raised his head, a mocking smile appearing on his shattered cheek.
An Earth Rank High Grade spirit sword had been set off by him as a firework.
What level of decisiveness was this?
What level of willingness to sacrifice!
“Does he not feel any heartache?”
Before Sect Master Feng Mengli could think further, a purple figure suddenly appeared before her, its foul-smelling maw biting down fiercely!
The Purple Crystal Lion King had seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Sect Master Feng Mengli was currently suffering from a severed arm and severe injuries, and her mind was in turmoil.
By the time she reacted, the Lion King was already upon her, its fangs capable of crushing metal biting straight down!
“Ah!!!!”
Sect Master Feng Mengli let out a shrill scream.
Her already severely injured right arm was clamped tightly by the Lion King.
She had no choice but to cut off her own arm like a brave warrior; she brought her left hand together like a blade and slashed fiercely at her own right shoulder!
Squelch!
Blood spurted out instantly, but Sect Master Feng Mengli did not hesitate in the slightest, retreating violently.
It was…
too terrifying.
Sect Master Feng Mengli’s face was as pale as paper.
The crisis of death rushed toward her.
A severed arm, blood loss, severe injuries—this was no longer a gap that could be bridged by relying on information advantages.
The Purple Crystal Lion King was an opponent of the same rank as her.
If things went wrong…
she might really die today.
And all of this was thanks to Ye Shu, thanks to his sudden self-destruction of the xiongyuan sword!
No one would have thought of it; no one would have imagined it.
Even Lin Qingxue, Xiaobai, or Danxia would never have imagined that Ye Shu would use this spirit sword, which carried his dowry, destiny, and affection, as a firework.
Just to make Sect Master Feng Mengli lose an arm.
So…
he won.
“The outcome is decided.”
Ye Shu slowly spat out these four words, and for the first time, he felt much more relaxed.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingxue, who was hiding behind him, was completely stunned.
She crouched down, picked up a fragment of the broken sword near her feet, but could say nothing except shed tears.
She did not say anything to Ye Shu.
She just remained silent, silently noting every fragment of the broken sword scattered in the corners with her gaze.
“Your Luck is really good, quack~”
Just then, Xiaobai, who had been silent since just a moment ago, finally let out a sigh of emotion.
Sect Master Feng Mengli’s appearance just now had really frightened her.
It scared her so much that she almost planned to activate her permissions and forcibly interfere with this world, regardless of the cost.
But she didn’t expect that in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the momentum of offense and defense would shift.
As expected of the Transmigration candidate she chose; his Luck was just that good.
“Luck?”
Ye Shu, however, shook his head with a smile.
“Isn’t it Luck?” Xiaobai puffed up her cheeks and looked at him angrily.
“If you weren’t my Child of Destiny, how could you have such good Luck, coincidentally having the Lion King come to save you right on time?”
“Luck?”
Ye Shu was in an incredibly good mood right now.
Like a child who had just accomplished a great feat and couldn’t wait to share it, he smiled and spoke to Xiaobai via telepathy: “Then let me ask you, let me ask you.”
“If I hadn’t reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, if I hadn’t practiced with Lin Qingxue, if I hadn’t obtained the xiongyuan sword, then would I have been able to hold out until now, been able to break into the Lion King’s cave, and been able to sever Sect Master Feng Mengli’s arm?”
“That’s also good Luck!”
Xiaobai retorted stubbornly, “Otherwise, why would the Lion King come to help you?
Isn’t it because you were lucky enough to run into the Little Beast and have it come to help you?”
“The Lion King helping me has nothing to do with the Little Beast.”
Ye Shu shook his head, his gaze deep.
“Let me ask you, if you were the overlord of this territory, and suddenly someone trespassed into your territory, fought a fierce battle with you, and then suddenly fled, and at this moment you rushed back home only to find that your home had been robbed, what would you do?”
“Of course, I’d want to beat that thief to death!”
Xiaobai said matter-of-factly.
“Correct.”
Ye Shu nodded.
“Just as you were burning with anxiety, a brilliant sword light suddenly erupted in the forest, with an aura exactly the same as the little thief who stole from your home.
What would you do?”
“Of course, I would rush over immediately and catch the thief in the act.” Xiaobai blurted out, then widened her eyes, suddenly figuring everything out.
“So…
so that charged attack of yours…”
“Actually wasn’t meant to hurt Sect Master Feng Mengli at all,” Xiaobai said, dumbfounded.
“From the very beginning, this sword strike was…”
“A firework set off for the Lion King.”
“The Little Beast was just a coincidence; regardless of whether it was there or not, the Lion King would definitely have appeared and would definitely have come here.”
Ye Shu took over the conversation.
Suddenly, he really liked the word ‘firework’.
Beautiful and brilliant.
“But this…
this is too risky.” Xiaobai widened her eyes.
“What if the Lion King arrived late?
What if, after arriving, the first thing it did wasn’t to confront Sect Master Feng Mengli, but to team up with her to kill you, you bad guy?”
“There are no such things as ‘what ifs’.”
Ye Shu interrupted her ‘what ifs’.
“The reason is very simple.”
He raised his eyes and smiled indifferently.
“Because, I am the Child of Destiny.”
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
