"Want to kill me? You're not capable of that!" Kim Yugyeom emerged from the darkness, his eyes filled with chilling coldness as he looked at Qiyue.
Qi Yue curled her lips into a smile, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain: "What? You don't want to be a coward hiding in the shadows anymore, so you've decided to come out and confront me head-on?"
"Who are you calling a coward?!" Kim Yugyeom roared, glaring at Qiyue, veins bulging on his forehead.
July said with a sneer, "Hehehe~ I was wrong. I wasn't a coward, I was just a cornered dog!"
"Sharp-tongued!" Kim Yugyeom was so angry that he was speechless, and could only shout in helpless rage.
He didn't notice at all that several of the elders he had brought with him had already died.
A strange, bright red figure silently landed not far behind him, but he was completely unaware, still shouting at Qiyue.
"You think I'm afraid of you? Without you, you're nothing but a nobody, just relying on your master! Do you know what you're like? You're like a frog in a well, completely unaware of how vast this world truly is. So what if you've reached the Nascent Soul stage? My Jin family has countless Nascent Soul cultivators!"
"July! Don't be so arrogant! Today, I will make sure you stay here!"
Speaking in a sinister tone, Jin Youqian suddenly changed his tone and shouted, "Miss Xia, if you don't act now, when will you!"
"You have quite the nerve." A cold voice rang in Kim Yugyeom's ears. His heart skipped a beat, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he instantly used his spiritual power to retreat rapidly.
He watched with trepidation as Lou Xuanzhi, dressed in red, stood beside the corpse of the Jin family elder, gently wiping the blood from his hands. His eerie face was expressionless. He froze, his pupils contracting.
When did this person get behind him?! How come he didn't notice at all?!
Looking at the elders who were already dead beyond any doubt, Kim Yugyeom's face turned deathly pale, and his hands clenched into fists uncontrollably, making the fan in his hand creak.
Completely devoid of his former shrewdness, elegance, and calculation, he was left only with a feigned calm panic. He watched Lou Xuanzhi warily while looking around for the figures of Xia Wanqing and others from Hengyang Sect.
But they didn't see even a shadow of the Hengyang Sect members, only the First Elder and the Sixth Elder fleeing in panic.
His heart skipped a beat.
Looking at Qiyue standing in the air, an idea came to mind, but before he could make a move, Qiyue moved.
With a turn, a rusty sword appeared in her hand, which she swept across the void. As a talisman fell, a figure appeared in front of Qiyue.
It is Xia Wanqing.
Looking at Qiyue, Xia Wanqing's face was full of gloom: "When did you find out about me?"
Qi Yue kicked out, her sword swirling as she thrust towards Xia Wanqing's chest, her voice filled with disdain and contempt.
"I could smell the stench of poop from a mile away. Who do we have here? Oh, it's you! Tsk tsk tsk, you really stink. How long has it been since you took a shower?"
"Shut up!!!" Xia Wanqing's eyes were bloodshot, every move was a killing blow, and her voice was filled with resentment: "I know it was you! Even if you were torn to pieces a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in my heart! I will definitely peel off your skin layer by layer! Cut off your limbs!"
"I'll show you what you look like, neither human nor ghost! Finally, I'll grind your bones to dust!"
Xia Wanqing cursed with a twisted expression, and with a palm strike, the thunderous aura instantly enveloped Qi Yue. Qi Yue's eyes turned cold, and she finally became serious.
She stood there, sword in hand, her index and middle fingers extended towards the sky. A bolt of purple lightning, carrying an aura of destruction, descended from the sky like a dragon emerging from the sea, swirling around her and clashing with Xia Wanqing's lightning with an all-consuming force.
Looking at Qiyue amidst the sea of lightning, Xia Wanqing revealed a maniacal smile: "Hahaha, Qiyue! This is my Thunder Palm with the mark of the Heavenly Dao! Even if your spiritual root has recovered and you have countless reliance, so what? You are destined to die by my hand..."
"Who dares to draw conclusions before the very end? My dear junior sister, it's truly remarkable that you've chosen your own way of dying."
Qi Yue's nonchalant voice interrupted Xia Wanqing's madness. She emerged from the sea of thunder with her sword, like a blooming blue lotus. Even with thunderous roars behind her, she remained aloof from the world, calm as still water, as if everything was irrelevant to her.
The thunder behind her slowly subsided and finally entered her body, and Xia Wanqing's eyes widened.
His finger trembled as he pointed at Qiyue, his face filled with disbelief: "Impossible! Impossible! Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find this move difficult to deal with, let alone a mere Golden Core cultivator like you! How could you be unharmed!"
"So what if I'm just a Golden Core cultivator? Junior Sister, have you forgotten the tribulation I suffered when I broke through to the next level...?"
Interrupting Xia Wanqing, Qiyue looked down at her with disdain and a strange smile on her face.
"That lightning tribulation must have been unbearable, Junior Sister."
Xia Wanqing was stunned. The day Qiyue broke through flashed through her mind. Looking at the person in front of her, her face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth: "Don't call me junior sister! It disgusts me!"
Where is there even a trace of the gentle and kind-hearted princess of yesteryear in that distorted appearance?
July laughed and spread her hands: "You think I won't call you that? Who do you think you are? I have a mouth, so I'll call you! I'll call you! Junior Sister! Junior Sister! Junior Sister!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! You bitch! You bitch!" Xia Wanqing was completely provoked and pointed her sword at Qiyue.
"See you next time! I'll kill you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Wanqing flashed away on her sword, and Qi Yue's eyes flashed.
[Trying to run? Not so easy! I might not be able to kill you, but I can at least annoy you!]
With a flash, Qiyue took out a talisman and then struck Xia Wanqing on the back with a palm strike, while also casually throwing a bomb.
"July!!!" The familiar feeling made Xia Wanqing let out a heart-wrenching roar, and then she staggered and disappeared in front of Qiyue.
As soon as Xia Wanqing left, the people secretly hiding in Hengyang Sect also began to retreat. Qiyue sneered.
She leaped away with her sword, piercing a disciple's heart with a single strike. Watching the disciple fall to the ground lifeless like a rag doll, Qiyue chased after him expressionlessly.
When he returned, his sword was covered in blood, and not far away were the corpses of many disciples of the Hengyang Sect.
Now that she and Hengyang Sect have completely broken off relations, killing only a few people is already too lenient for Hengyang Sect.
"Kim Yugyeom has run away." Lou Xuanzhi said with a grim expression as he looked at Qiyue who had returned.
"It's not that I'm incapable, it's that he possesses a secret treasure."
Qiyue was not surprised at all: "I know, but that kid's secret treasure can only be used once, otherwise I wouldn't have let Jin Shang reveal the information to him."
A look of surprise flashed in Lou Xuanzhi's eyes, and his thoughts began to wander.
This little guy doesn't hide anything anymore. I just wonder what he'll do if he ever finds out he can hear her thoughts...
