As the dust settled, silence returned to the room, except for the cup lid embedded in the wall and the tiny cracks left by the fierce battle, which told the story of the thrilling silent contest that had just taken place.

Black Impermanence's eyes widened, his body swayed slightly, and then the huge head on his neck rolled off and slammed hard onto the floor.

At the same time, the teacup in his hand instantly turned into dust, and the tea and the blood spurting from his neck dripped down together.

Bai Wuchang stared at Wu Tian in disbelief, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and terror.

"Good... good for you, Wu Tian. I... I didn't expect you to be so strong. We really underestimated you."

Bai Wuchang's voice was low and hoarse, each word sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing deep anger and resentment.

Wu Tian smiled indifferently, a smile that showed both disregard for the Black and White Impermanence and confidence in his own strength.

"You brought this on yourselves. You had no grudge against me, but unfortunately you chose to stand against me. And that Black Impermanence shouldn't have used my wife as a threat."

After speaking, he lightly flicked his sleeve, and a vast pressure swept through the entire space like a tidal wave, making it suffocating.

Under the crushing force of this power, Bai Wuchang was like a lone boat caught in a raging storm, helpless and at the mercy of the waves.

Just as things were teetering on the brink of collapse, Wu Tian's icy voice pierced through the clamor, "I'll give you a chance to live. Cooperate with me to deal with your accomplices, and you might just have a chance to survive."

Faced with this irresistible pressure, Bai Wuchang's face was as pale as paper, but he quickly calmed his mind.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes wide with anger, "You killed Black Impermanence just because he threatened your wife, and you killed my beloved, yet you expect me to live a life of shame and associate with you?"

His words were filled with deep affection for the deceased and bitter hatred for his enemies.

Black Impermanence was both her comrade-in-arms and her beloved. The moment she witnessed her lover's head fall to the ground, her heart was consumed by the flames of revenge.

Wu Tian lowered his gaze slightly, never expecting that such a deep affection existed between these two.

However, the deep-seated blood feud of his family had already hardened his heart to stone, and he never felt the slightest remorse for killing.

In his view, the world is a dog-eat-dog world, and being kind to the enemy is not only cruel to oneself, but also irresponsible to one's family and friends.

He was slightly moved, touched by the sincerity of Hei Wuchang's feelings. In this era where interests come first, such a bond of life and death is truly rare.

He sighed softly, his tone gentle yet unwavering: "Since you two are so deeply in love, I will grant your wish and let you die together, so that you will have each other's company on the road to the underworld."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wuchang showed no fear. Instead, he burst into laughter, his laughter filled with determination and arrogance. "Although you possess extraordinary abilities, taking my life will not be easy. Hei Wuchang's defeat was due to underestimating his opponent. I will never repeat that mistake!"

After she finished speaking, her long sleeves fluttered, and with a "whoosh," an embroidery needle pierced the air.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of needles were unleashed simultaneously, like a torrential downpour, enveloping the entire house in a sharp aura, penetrating every crevice and leaving Wu Tian nowhere to hide.

Wu Tian's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. "What a fine 'Ten Thousand Knits Rain'."

Before the words were even finished, his clothes billowed, billowing even without wind, and a powerful gust of wind suddenly arose, as if even the forces of nature were taking notice, sweeping away all the needle-like rain and forming an indestructible, invisible barrier.

"Waaaaah!"

The raindrops fell like a tide, one after another, but when they touched the protective net woven from the air, they turned into subtle whispers, stirring up ripples in the void, breathtakingly beautiful, yet extremely dangerous.

In an instant, those sharp edges lost their power, falling lightly to Wu Tian's feet, turning into dust and vanishing without a trace.

"You...you..."

White Impermanence's face was as pale as paper, a mixture of fear and admiration. She suddenly realized that Black Impermanence's defeat was not due to underestimating his opponent, but rather to the unfathomable depth of Wu Tian's strength, like an insurmountable chasm.

Her special skills were like children playing house in front of him, utterly ineffective.

Looking at the young yet powerful man before her, she felt a mix of emotions. Finally, she sighed deeply, her words filled with admiration for the hero and her own helplessness: "Your abilities are enough to make all things in the world bow down. We really shouldn't be your enemy."

Wu Tian's face appeared complex and indistinct in the interplay of light and shadow, ultimately settling into a detached indifference: "Now you can still choose to cooperate with me..."

However, Bai Wuchang's gaze remained unwavering, her anger and determination coexisting. She resolutely replied, "Life and death are predestined. If I lose the courage to avenge my love, my life is nothing but an empty shell. Today, though I die, I will be honored."

After she finished speaking, her aura surged, as if ten thousand souls were weeping and surrounding her, adding a touch of desolation and solemnity to her murderous aura.

Seeing this, Wu Tian knew that the other party had made up their mind, so he said no more.

He understood that some feelings, once taken root, are like a rock, unwavering no matter the wind or rain.

Just like the deep affection between him and Xia Xue that transcends mountains and rivers.

He leisurely raised his hand, and an even more vast power gathered in his palm. This was not only his deepest respect for Bai Wuchang, but also a solid bulwark for his own defense.

"boom!"

A soft yet shocking explosion suddenly rang out, and the murderous aura surrounding Bai Wuchang erupted like a long-accumulated volcano, sweeping across the surroundings.

In the air, with Bai Wuchang at its core, invisible ripples spread outwards, relentlessly impacting every inch of space, causing all things to tremble.

After the storm subsided, the White Impermanence weakly nestled beside the headless body of the Black Impermanence, the burning anger in his eyes now transformed into endless helplessness and resentment, like the dimmest star in the night sky.

"You...you are a worthy opponent."

After speaking, she slowly leaned her head towards Black Impermanence, and her last breath vanished without a trace, leaving behind only submission to fate and regret.

Wu Tian slowly released the power from his body, his heart churning with complex emotions. He had never expected that Bai Wuchang would choose self-sacrifice as his final act of resistance.

Gazing at the black and white Impermanence, who were bound together by life and death, Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh. Although his heart was filled with turmoil, he was helpless.

Just then, a soft but tentative knock broke the silence, and a cautious yet familiar male voice came from outside: "My lords, what's going on inside? There seemed to be a strange noise just now."

Wu Tian frowned slightly. He recognized the voice; it was Wang Libin, his old classmate whom he had met just a few days ago.

He replied in a deep voice, "Wang Libin? Come in!"

Before he could finish speaking, the door swung open, and Wang Libin, beaming, poked half his body in, his eyes filled with curiosity and surprise.

Upon seeing Wu Tian standing in the center, he was utterly astonished: "Wu...Wu Tian? What are you doing here?"

Immediately, his gaze fell upon the White Impermanence lying quietly on the ground and the Black Impermanence who had lost his head. All his doubts were instantly cleared up, and his body trembled involuntarily, as if he had been crushed by an invisible pressure and collapsed to the ground.
