Lei Tingjun, on the other hand, went from being an impotent man to an unfortunate fellow who was even more eunuch than a real eunuch.

"I'm going to kill you!" Lei Tingjun was now blinded by rage. He picked up the sword beside him and stabbed the old Taoist's corpse into a sieve.

After watching the spectacle, Xu Jinhuan appeared with a smile. Now it was time to deal with Lei Tingjun, this scourge.

"Who is it?" Lei Tingjun turned around instinctively after hearing the voice.

The next second, his shrill voice suddenly rose, "Xu Jinhuan, it's you? You didn't go north with the exiles, you're still in the capital?"

Xu Jinhuan, holding a long sword, sneered, "I stayed in the capital to deal with you, of course. You and Xu Youyou have a deep relationship, right? Now go down and keep her company."

After saying that, Xu Jinhuan swung his longsword at Lei Tingjun, but Lei Tingjun's martial arts had improved after taking the deep red pill, and he actually dodged the oncoming longsword.

"Youyou is dead?" Lei Tingjun asked, finding it hard to believe.

Then, with bloodshot eyes, he glared at Xu Jinhuan and said, "How dare you kill my Youyou! I will tear you to pieces!"

As Lei Tingjun spoke, he thrust his sword toward Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan easily dodged the sharp longsword, then slashed his long saber heavily at Lei Tingjun.

This time, Lei Tingjun couldn't dodge and took a direct hit to Xu Jinhuan's shoulder.

At first, the pale yellow power emanating from him attempted to resist.

But he couldn't hold out for long before a dark red energy, carrying a bloody smell, emerged from his body.

In just a few breaths, the pale yellow energy was completely dissipated, and the longsword successfully struck Lei Tingjun.

Xu Jinhuan witnessed this scene.

"I thought it would take some effort to deal with you, but I didn't expect your useless teammate to be so helpful, wearing down my last bit of strength."

Xu Jinhuan's lips curled into a beautiful smile, and his gaze toward Lei Tingjun was no different from that of someone looking at a dead man.

Lei Tingjun didn't quite understand what Xu Jinhuan was saying, but when he looked at the bloody, torn wound on his shoulder and noticed that it wasn't healing as quickly as before, he had a bad feeling.

But now he was in a secret passage, and there was no one around to rely on. He could only suppress his panic and fight with all his might.

Xu Jinhuan didn't give Lei Tingjun any more time to think. His long sword appeared in front of Lei Tingjun in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it took away one of Lei Tingjun's arms.

"Ah!" Lei Tingjun's shrill voice rang out again. He clutched his wound and looked at Xu Jinhuan with a mixture of hatred and fear.

Even though his martial arts skills had already surpassed his previous level, he was still no match for Xu Jinhuan. When exactly did she start practicing martial arts?

Xu Jinhuan mimicked Lei Tingjun's previous smile, and said with a wicked grin, "Next, I'm going to cut off your other arm."

After saying that, he once again raised his long sword and lunged forward.

Lei Tingjun, his expression tense, protected his only remaining arm, struggling to dodge.

The next instant, he felt a sharp pain between his legs and fell to the ground. What came into his view was a very familiar leg.

It was his left leg, which had been inseparable from him for over twenty years.

"You, you broke your promise." Lei Tingjun was so angry that he could barely speak for a long time before finally managing to utter this one sentence.

Xu Jinhuan was almost amused by him. "Are you really stupid or just pretending? When have you ever seen an enemy tell you the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingjun glared at Xu Jinhuan with resentment, "You really are just as Youyou said, a treacherous and cunning person. If you're so capable, let me recover from my injuries, and then we'll have a real fight."

Xu Jinhuan sneered, "Sorry, we treacherous and cunning people like to take advantage of your weakness to kill you."

Lei Tingjun, stop pretending to be some virtuous and innocent person. You killed ninety-nine women and countless innocent girls you abducted in order to cure your own illness.

You are the most heartless person.

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, he walked toward Lei Tingjun, who was lying face down, and with two swift strokes of his long sword, he severed Lei Tingjun's only remaining arm and leg.

Then, Xu Jinhuan used a long knife to slash Lei Tingjun's skin, making him watch as his sinful blood slowly drained away.

"Xu...Xu Jinhuan, I was wrong, please don't kill me!" Lei Tingjun felt his blood draining away and pleaded in a shrill voice, his face pale.

Xu Jinhuan slapped Lei Tingjun's face hard with his long sword and said in a sinister tone, "She begged you like that back then, but you didn't even look at her and had her kicked into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave."

Now, this is your retribution!

The "she" that Xu Jinhuan speaks of is her from her past life, and also the "she" in the novel—the Xu Jinhuan who was overjoyed to receive even a little genuine affection.

Lei Tingjun, having committed so many bad deeds, never considered that this was not something he himself had done.

He pleaded desperately, even cursing his beloved Xu Youyou in his attempt to save his life.

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Doing those things was not my intention. It was all Xu Youyou's doing. Yes, that heartless woman."

"It's all Xu Youyou's fault. If it weren't for her, how could I have gotten involved with Xu Jinhuan, and how could my luck have gotten worse and worse? I am the true emperor, destined to ascend the throne."

Xu Youyou is a troublemaker!

Xu Jinhuan watched coldly as Lei Tingjun's face grew paler and paler, his voice weaker and weaker, but the words he used to curse Xu Youyou became increasingly vulgar.

She even regretted killing Xu Youyou so early. If she hadn't killed Xu Youyou, she could have let the two of them curse at each other and enjoyed watching the male and female leads break down.

Just as Lei Tingjun was about to lose consciousness, a faint yellow power, almost invisible in color, emerged from his body, seemingly trying to heal his injuries.

Before the yellowish power could react, the blackish-red power reappeared and devoured it with lightning speed.

At this moment, the sky outside the Taoist temple also changed. A strong wind swept up the dark clouds, and in an instant, the sky darkened, as if a storm was about to break.

Xu Jinhuan seemed to sense something and raised her head. Although she couldn't see the sky outside, she raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Trying to scare me? I'm not easily frightened."

After saying that, she slashed at Lei Tingjun's neck with the long knife in her hand.

"You brat, how dare you?"

A majestic voice suddenly rang out in the sky, and everyone in the capital city subconsciously looked up at the sky, their faces filled with fear. What was going on?

The only response Xu Jinhuan received was Lei Tingjun's head, which had already rolled twice on the ground.

Xu Jinhuan asked the system Xiao Wang to amplify her voice, and she shouted back, "Trash, I not only dare to kill him, but I can also kill you! Come down and fight me if you dare!"
