Xu Nian fixed her gaze on the Second Elder, and her undisguised killing intent made it clear to everyone present that she wanted to kill him.
"Hmph! Those demonic cultivators are truly arrogant. Do they really think my Flying Immortal Sect has no one to rely on?" A burly middle-aged man stood in front of the Second Elder, his protective stance causing Xu Nian to raise an eyebrow.
"You guys have this weird habit of belittling each other before you even start a fight, just to make yourselves seem noble and virtuous? Or do you think that doing so will give you the right to kill without any guilt, because you have a legitimate reason to do it?" Xu Nian sneered.
"Witch, do not distort our true intentions. To eliminate demons and protect the righteous path is the mission of us cultivators." The middle-aged man finished speaking angrily and then swung his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, straight at Xu Nian's vitals.
Xu Nian moved with the speed of the wind, and with the speed-enhancing supernatural power she had mastered, dodging the fierce punch was a piece of cake. She sneered, "So you're a physical cultivator. No wonder you're all brawn and no brains."
Xu Nian's words enraged the middle-aged man. He hated nothing more than being called simple-minded and all brawn and no brains. "Witch, prepare to die!"
"I'm so scared! If you want to kill me, then it's not too much for me to kill you, is it?" Xu Nian's eyes turned cold, and she unleashed the full power of her sword.
The middle-aged man who had been chasing her immediately stopped upon seeing this, and raised his hands to block in front of him, seemingly intending to withstand Xu Nian's sword strike.
Upon seeing this, Xu Nian's lips curled into a smile, and the unexpected turn of events occurred.
The sword energy that had been aimed directly at the middle-aged man vanished, and the next instant, a woman's scream drew everyone's attention.
The Second Elder collapsed, clutching her cracked body, her eyes wide open, filled with confusion and bewilderment.
She seemed confused as to how she was suddenly attacked, and despite her best efforts, she couldn't withstand the attack and died instantly.
"She got off too easily, dying so easily," Xu Nian muttered.
"Witch, I'll kill you." The middle-aged man's expression changed upon seeing the Second Elder's death.
How to describe that feeling? It's like a lone wolf who has lost its mate, determined to drag its enemies down with it.
"Oh! So you like her type? You have a really unique taste." Xu Nian provoked him recklessly.
"Witch, go and be buried with Ah Qing!" The middle-aged man switched to a reckless fighting style this time. No matter how many sword energies Xu Nian unleashed at him, he used his own body to take them, just to get closer and closer to Xu Nian.
"He's really insane." Xu Nian said helplessly. Although she was courting death, it seemed she couldn't let this man kill her!
"Yuanbao, where is the male lead?" Yuanbao, who had been quiet, immediately perked up upon hearing Xu Nian's words.
"Host, in the southwest direction, the youngest and most handsome one among those Nascent Soul cultivators is the male protagonist, Xiao Yang." Xu Nian followed Yuanbao's paw and looked in that direction. After confirming that it was pointing correctly, she felt terrible.
"Yuanbao, you're saying that person is the male lead?" How could that lewd scoundrel be the male lead? Shouldn't the male lead be someone who doesn't touch anyone except the female lead?
"Host, what's wrong? You look so pale." Yuanbao scratched his head, puzzled, seeing Xu Nian looking like she'd seen a ghost.
Xu Nian took a deep breath and threw out the talismans and magical treasures from her savings bag as if they were free.
While dodging the middle-aged man's suicidal attacks, she said to Yuanbao, "We'll talk about this later. Let's just say I have to die today, but I don't necessarily have to die at the hands of the male lead!"
"Host, isn't it wrong of you to tamper with the plot like this?" Yuanbao had been with Xu Nian for so long, it could tell what she was thinking just by listening.
"It's better than not completing the mission. Anyway, the original owner's fate was to die in the Flying Immortal Sect today. It doesn't matter who kills her, so there's no need to worry about these small details." Xu Nian said, dodging the middle-aged man's all-out punch.
"Besides, this man is so annoying, like a mad dog. I can't die for nothing today, I have to take him with me." Xu Nian's gaze turned cold. One for three, it was worth it.
"Alright!" Yuanbao calculated the feasibility and then left it at that.
Seeing that Yuanbao didn't strongly protest, Xu Nian knew that she could get away with the task, and she immediately changed direction from avoiding the middle-aged man.
She stopped hiding; not only did she stop hiding, she began to burn everything she had.
The demonic energy surged, instantly doubling the power of the already sharp attacks, each strike hitting the middle-aged man with bone-chilling force.
Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in shock. They dared not rush forward, fearing that the witch might self-destruct with the intention of taking everyone down with her.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator were to self-destruct without regard for the consequences, the Flying Immortal Sect could be destroyed by more than half of its strength.
They all wanted to deplete the witch's demonic energy and strength before capturing her themselves.
This way, not only will the loss be small, but you can also gain a good reputation.
Now look what's happened! The witch has been pushed to the limit and is clearly trying to drag others down with her!
"Quickly stop her!" Someone said this, and immediately several Nascent Soul cultivators flew out.
Xiao Yang was standing among these Nascent Soul cultivators, his eyes filled with anxiety as he looked at the woman who had disregarded everything, feeling extremely distressed.
He seems to have made a mistake again.
Senior sister, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you.
No matter what, he will stand by her side this time.
Xu Nian glanced at the male protagonist as he approached, and her mind raced. Instead of rushing to kill the middle-aged man, she avoided vital points with each move, each strike penetrating to the bone.
In no time, the middle-aged man became a bloody mess.
"Witch, if you're so capable, just kill me." The middle-aged man finally realized that the other party was deliberately torturing him.
He may not be afraid of death, but that doesn't mean he's not afraid of pain!
"Don't rush, we'll take it slowly," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Her current appearance inexplicably instilled fear and unease in the middle-aged man. "What kind of skill is it to torture someone? If you're so capable, just kill me."
"Torturing you is my skill." Xu Nian said, piercing the middle-aged man's throat with her sword once again.
Despite having his throat pierced, the middle-aged man did not die immediately; the cultivator's body was still very strong.
Moreover, he is a physical cultivator; unless he suffers a fatal injury, he can still be lively and energetic.
The middle-aged man pointed at Xu Nian, making a "clucking" sound in his throat. Although it was unclear what he was saying, he was definitely cursing her.
"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying." Xu Nian smiled at the middle-aged man and withdrew her sword energy.
Because the Nascent Soul cultivators who had arrived had surrounded her, she had to deal with them.
Of course, her main target is still the male lead.
When the others saw Xu Nian's gaze fixed on Xiao Yang, they immediately revealed a meaningful smile.
"Junior Brother Xiao Yang, I'll leave this witch to you."
“Junior Brother Xiao Yang, this witch abused and harmed you back then, almost costing you your life several times. Today is the time for revenge.”
"Junior Brother Xiao Yang...!"
Xiao Yang listened to these people's words without any emotional fluctuation. His gaze was fixed on Xu Nian, and he himself did not know how greedy his eyes were when he looked at her.
