A cold wind blows, and leaves fall.
Looking at the two who had reached the end of the trial, Ye Hua slowly stood up.
Black energy swirled around his palms, encircling his entire arm.
He slowly walked towards Qian Shudie and Shen Xingyue, a sly smile on his face.
"You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long."
Shen Xingyue and Qian Shudie simultaneously sensed a strong sense of crisis.
Ye Hua stretched out his hand, palm facing the two of them. With a wicked smile, a cloud of black mist flew out from his palm and pounced on the two of them!
"Heart-Devouring Demonic Mist!"
The moment the black mist flew out, both women's expressions changed.
"Oh no! Run!"
Shen Xingyue reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Qian Shudie's hand in the blink of an eye and fleeing the scene at lightning speed.
"Trying to escape? Dream on!"
Ye Hua stretched out his other hand and slammed it hard onto the ground!
"Earth Devouring Cage!"
Countless wisps of black mist began to spread outward from his palms, like wildly growing vines, instantly reaching the feet of the two men and forming an octagonal cage that tightly surrounded them.
"What's this?"
Shen Xingyue stared in surprise at the black mist, wanting to reach out and touch it, but was stopped by Qian Shudie.
"Don't touch it! There's something wrong with this black mist!"
"What's the problem?" Shen Xingyue withdrew her hand, and when she looked at the cage made of black mist again, there was a hint of fear in her eyes.
“I don’t know, but…” Qian Shudie said with a solemn expression, then took out a copper coin from her waist and threw it into the black mist cage.
The moment the copper coin touched the black mist cage, it was instantly grabbed by countless tiny hands and devoured.
"What the hell is this?" Shen Xingyue looked at the scene with a pale face, feeling nauseous and churning in her stomach after seeing the countless tiny black mists.
“I don’t know either, but if you had touched this black mist just now, you would likely have ended up like this.”
Qian Shudie felt a strong sense of crisis.
On the other side, Ye Hua, accompanied by four attendants, slowly walked over.
He stood tall with his chest puffed out, a wicked smile on his face. "It's time to end things for you two. Your death is imminent."
Ye Hua extended a finger, ready to make a move.
Just as he was about to make his move, Qian Shudie suddenly shouted, "This is the Quanxiu Trial Grounds! Aren't you afraid that Su Nian will come after you for doing this, Ye Hua!"
Ye Hua paused in his preparations.
Looking at Qian Shudie again, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"That's strange... My disguise was so perfect that even the Grand Elder couldn't see through it, so why are you so sure that I am Ye Hua?"
"Ha! Your tricks may fool others, but they won't fool me!" A cold smile appeared on Qian Shudie's pretty face.
Ye Hua crossed his arms and smiled faintly, "Are you stalling for time?"
Qian Shudie remained silent.
"It doesn't matter, I'll give you time." Ye Hua opened his arms and said slowly, "There's still an hour left before the second trial ends. I bet Su Nian won't come."
"Heh, he's so smart, how could he not guess you were here?" Qian Shudie sneered.
Ye Hua suddenly laughed.
He covered his face, initially laughing in a low voice, but then the laughter grew louder and louder.
"If he really wants to come, then let him come." Ye Hua smiled wickedly, not at all frightened by Qian Shudie's words, but instead walked even closer.
"The fact that I dared to come means that I'm not afraid of him!"
Ye Hua extended his palm.
"If you've finished saying your last words, then turn into nourishment for me. Anyway, it doesn't matter to you supporting characters whether you stay or leave!"
Having said that, he made a grasping motion in the air! The Earth Devouring Cage began to close inwards.
Alarm bells rang in Qian Shudie and Shen Xingyue's hearts, and the two of them unleashed their best skills, ready to fight to the death!
Shen Xingyue took out her longsword and tried to wrap the blade with spiritual power to sever the Earth Devouring Cage.
Unfortunately, she failed.
The longsword was also swallowed up, disappearing without a trace.
In this moment of crisis, Qian Shudie took a deep breath.
"Don't waste your time. This cage can't be broken by ordinary means."
"What should we do then?" Shen Xingyue asked anxiously.
Qian Shudie remained silent for a long time.
She looked at the cage that was constantly converging towards the center, and the long sword that seemed to vanish at the slightest touch, and struggled with her inner turmoil for a long time.
In another ten seconds, she and Shen Xingyue will probably become nourishment for Ye Hua to improve his cultivation.
Since that's the case...
She took a deep breath.
He gave a wry smile.
"Shen Xingyue".
This sigh, filled with regret and sorrow, made Shen Xingyue's heart skip a beat, and she vaguely sensed Qian Shudie's determination to die.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I lied to you. My name is not Meng Feidie. My real name is Qian Shudie, and I am a phantom demon."
As Qian Shudie spoke, her body began to transform.
She became herself, and demonic energy flowed forth from her.
This change not only shocked Shen Xingyue, but also surprised Ye Hua.
He looked at Qian Shudie's face and felt that it was very familiar. After thinking carefully, he suddenly realized.
"Are you the demon that Su Nian let go that day?"
"Yes, my name is Qian Shudie," Qian Shudie said, taking a deep breath.
Ye Hua's lips curled into a playful smile.
"Really? How interesting... Although I don't understand why you're here, it seems I've gained something unexpected?"
"Yes...it was really unexpected."
