revenge

Ripples spread across the shimmering lake surface, and a woman dressed in white sat by the lake. She had delicate features and a gentle, serene demeanor.

"Second sister, second sister! We should go!"

The woman in red ran over from a distance, overjoyed, and waved to the woman in white.

"Second sister?"

Hongyan saw Bai Xu turn around and smile at her, then shook her head.

"Second sister, what are you trying to do? We've been waiting for so long... Second sister..."

On the lake, the woman, covered in blood, was heartbroken and her demonic power surged. She tightly gripped Mo You's blood-stained hand.

"I……"

Bai Xu hugged his knees and sat back down by the lake. He gently touched the water with his index finger, and a shallow ripple appeared on the surface, blurring the image.

"Let's go back..."

Bai Xu smiled, but tears involuntarily streamed down his face. He tapped the water's surface with his index finger a second time.

"Second sister, no..."

This time, the image underwater was even more blurry.

Bai Xu smiled contentedly, lightly touching the water one last time. As the ripples spread, her figure quietly disappeared.

"Second Sister!"

Hongyan grabbed at nothing, leaving only a piece of white gauze that floated lightly onto the empty lake surface.

"I didn't have time to love him..."

thump--

My heart, which had been so weak it had almost stopped beating, suddenly jumped hard.

Thump, thump.

The chaotic consciousness seemed to be greeted by thousands of golden rays in an instant, and tears silently slid down from the corners of her eyes. Mo You grabbed Ren Xiangxiang's hand in return.

"Xiangxiang..."

Feeling the force in her hand, Ren Xiangxiang trembled. The raging demonic energy instantly returned to her body, and the churning demonic blood was calmed down in an instant. Tears streamed down Ren Xiangxiang's face.

With a loud cry, she threw herself onto Mo You and burst into tears.

"Mo You... Waaah... I..."

"It's nothing..." Mo You forced a smile, barely managing to stay awake. "I...I..."

Boom!

Smoke swirled, ruins stretched as far as the eye could see, and all that remained before Cun She was black and white as she searched everywhere for the shadows of Ren Xiangxiang and Mo You.

"You can't escape, you fox demon, you can't escape—"

With a roar, Cun She suddenly felt a broken demonic aura reignite. He sniffed hard, his figure blurred, and he rushed towards the two of them.

"Found you! Fox demon!!"

Sensing the evil aura coming from the wind, Ren Xiangxiang made a quick decision, picked up Mo You, and ran away.

But she was a step too slow; Cun She's massive body excitedly transformed into a blur.

"Hahahaha..."

call out!

Bang!

The Demon-Slaying Arrow pierced through the clouds and split rocks, piercing his enormous palm. Immediately following, the sword light darted like a shuttle, and the fierce demonic wind swept through the air like a whirlwind, forcing him back with a single blow.

Ren Xiangxiang paused, then suddenly turned around.

A dark red robe fluttered in the wind, and the person who came was tall and straight. The familiar back view made her eyes well up with tears.

"father……"

A gust of wind dispersed the thick smoke, and not far from them, She Liuying staggered a couple of steps while leaning against the wall, and was also taken aback when she saw Ren Fenghong.

"mother……"

Ren Xiangxiang burst into tears of joy. Just as she was about to turn back, she saw She Liuying's expression suddenly change. He flipped over to dodge Cun She's attack and then shot out three more streams of hunting energy.

"Walk!"

Ren Fenghong also unleashed a sword strike, the icy demonic energy stirring up dust.

“Leave this to me… Let’s go, Xiangxiang. With me here, no one can hurt your mother.”

As Ren Fenghong spoke, she looked at She Liuying.

Their eyes met, and the past seemed like it was just yesterday. A metallic taste rose in She Liuying's throat, which she swallowed hard and nodded slightly.

Ren Fenghong finally felt relieved. After so many years, he finally saw the long-lost trust on the face of his beloved again. This trust greatly boosted his confidence. No matter what kind of monster the other party was, this time, he would definitely protect the person he cherished.

"Father, Mother—" Ren Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, no longer caring about anything else. Mo You's injuries were too severe, and his life was in danger at any moment. In addition, the other party's target was Mo You, so she could not stay here.

She Liuying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ren Xiangxiang fleeing from afar. A gust of wind blew past her ears, and her mangled head suddenly crashed down in front of her.

"Ah Ying!"

She Liuying almost instinctively retreated rapidly, drawing her bow and shooting an arrow in one smooth motion. The Demon-Slaying Sword and Ren Fenghong's longsword attacked Cun She from the front and back. Cun She was terrified of She Liuying's Demon-Slaying Arrow and immediately retreated, but Ren Fenghong still managed to cut off his ear with a single sword strike.

The translucent ear turned into a puddle of water after landing, and new ears grew from his moth-like body.

Cun She looked in the direction of the two people, his evil power surged, and then his feet trembled slightly as another dragonfly claw gathered from all directions.

Sheliuying immediately shot out a hunting aura carrying the Fire Chaser Stone. The Fire Chaser Stone exploded in the Dragonfly Claw, and the powerful force pushed her several meters away. She staggered, felt a tightness in her lower back, and looked up to see Ren Fenghong with his arms around her waist, smiling slightly.

The next second, another wave of evil energy came rushing towards them.

"Maple leaves turn red!"

Sheliuying was pushed aside by Ren Fenghong. She staggered two steps and shouted in a hoarse voice.

Ren Fenghong smiled, and Cun She's palm struck empty air, causing the Dragonfly Claw to attack Ren Fenghong. Ren Fenghong gathered all her demonic power, and her sword strike was like a rainbow, directly piercing through the Dragonfly Claw and attacking Cun She.

Unfortunately, Cun She is no longer human or demon. His super healing ability and evil aura make him completely disregard the two of them. The only thing he might fear is the Demon-Slaying Arrow, which can cause him real harm.

The overwhelming number of dragonfly claws covered the sky above Tunning Bay and Wuyinmao, but the number of dragonfly claws above Wuyinmao decreased due to the presence of Sheliuying and Ren Fenghong.

Boom!

Blazing flames swept across the land, rushing recklessly towards Di Jin, who was fleeing for her life. Di Jin had no time to dodge and had to withstand the attack.

The immense impact made her internal organs feel like they were on fire, boiling violently. She spat out a mouthful of blood. In her confusion, she vaguely saw a cold and beautiful woman wearing half a mask in the firelight. In the blink of an eye, the woman disappeared, and what appeared in front of her was indeed Ye Honglanzhi.

"Why did you do this..." Ye Honglan sighed, not knowing who she was talking to.

Di Jin coughed up blood and struggled to stand up. Even so, all she wanted was to escape this place as soon as possible.

"Where do you think you can escape to!" Le Qing's shrill roar grew louder as it approached.

The hooked comb moved with lightning speed, aiming straight for Dijin's throat. In her haste, Dijin rolled on the ground, and a short blade suddenly flew out from her sleeve.

"careful!"

Lost in thought, Ye Honglanzhi immediately threw her longsword. Upon seeing this, Di Jin suddenly appeared behind Le Qing. Unexpectedly, Gouchi Shu also turned around at this moment, as if he had anticipated this move. Gouchi Shu struck and slit the other's neck.

Di Jin also struck Le Qing in the chest with a palm strike, causing Le Qing's vision to go black as he spat out a mouthful of blood onto Di Jin.

Dijin touched her neck in disbelief and opened her mouth weakly.

Le Qing laughed until her mouth was full of blood, but she couldn't utter a single word.

How could she forget how her father died at the hands of Di Jin, who begged for mercy while weeping and wailing, and then brutally murdered her family?

How is Ye Hongdijin inferior to Qingzhi? Why does she have to risk her life to protect those two immature brats, and in the end, even become an enemy of the five major demon clans? Why?

“You…” Di Jin suddenly laughed. What kind of skill is it to kill her? In the end… in the end…

She fell heavily to the ground, her eyes still fixed on Le Qing, who was spitting blood, until the light faded and the dust settled.

Looking at the dead Di Jin, Le Qing suddenly burst into laughter, then slowly began to wail, crying as if her heart was breaking. There was no joy after revenge, only repeated loss and self-blame, hating her own insignificance and fragility.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a light rain began to fall.

The rain pattered down on the desolate land, and perhaps because of the rain, the dragonflies suddenly became restless and all flew towards the woods.

Sheliuying's eyes were soaked by the rain. She struggled to stand up, leaning on a tree trunk. She still tightly gripped the Demon-Slaying Bow in her hand. The dark bow made a low hum. Just five steps away from her, Ren Fenghong was kneeling on one knee, spitting out blood. Half of his body was already bloody. He raised his head slightly.

Through the rain, I could see a huge white moth not far away, with a demon-slaying arrow stuck in its chest.

Just now, a bolt of lightning struck across the sky.

Cun She unleashed all his evil power, causing all the dragonfly claws to pounce on the two of them. The dense dragonfly claws covered the sky and earth. Ren Fenghong and She Liuying were already exhausted. The two looked at each other, as if time had turned back.

Ren Fenghong unleashed a torrent of demonic power with a single sword strike, sweeping across the area with overwhelming force. The raging demonic wind met the violent evil power, and the two forces tore and entangled, instantly flattening the surrounding trees. The giant insect roared and slammed its palm towards Ren Fenghong in the eye of the hurricane. Ren Fenghong suddenly gathered her demonic power, advancing instead of retreating, and thrust her sword towards the giant insect.

The insect's face was contorted, and it roared, unable to utter a single human word. Just as it suppressed Ren Fenghong with a palm strike, the Demon-Slaying Arrow flashed like lightning and pierced through its chest with lightning speed.

In an instant, memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

—Amin, live well, live a good life.

The sound abruptly stopped in my ears, carrying the lingering warmth of my palm, gradually turning cold.

"Awooooo—"

The dying moth suddenly burst forth with astonishing vitality, and its body, which had been riddled with holes by Ren Fenghong and She Liuying, suddenly recovered rapidly.

Dragonfly claws surged into his body, coating it with a layer of black armor. The tiny Gu on his spine trembled slightly, and a tearing pain assaulted his brain, accompanied by shattered memories and frenzied killing.

He wants revenge!

To avenge my wife and children!

It was those demons, they stole his only happiness!

"Awooooo—"

Oh no, Ah Ying!

A tremendous impact swept over, and Ren Fenghong lunged directly at the immobilized Shooting Shadow without a second thought.

The overwhelming pressure almost suffocated her. In a daze, it was as if she had returned to that dark night, where fireflies were flying wildly outside the cave and the child with blood-red eyes was roaring as he swung his long sword down at her.

"don't want!!!"

Shooting Shadow let out a scream, "Maple Red—"
