Just take it
A blazing flame was embroidered in gold thread on the hem of the blood-red garment, blazing and flamboyant. Anyone who gazed upon it felt as if they were witnessing a fiery hell, and could hear the sound of flames burning everything and the curses and screams of evil spirits.
Looking up, I saw a brass chain wrapped around the red dress, with a dozen copper bells hanging in an orderly manner on the chain, firmly locking the tragic hell scene on the red dress, as if to trap these countless evil spirits piled up like mountains in this hell for generations to come, and to slowly burn them to ashes with bright red fire, leaving them no chance to escape!
Jiang Jingyuan's final gaze fell on this man's face—
A few taels of black hair lazily fell on her golden eyes. As she blinked, the gold in her pupils flowed, contrasting with the copper-colored tassels with hanging beads covering the lower half of her face, which was gorgeous and exuded an ancient divinity.
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her red lips appeared and disappeared among the hanging tassels, mysterious and unpredictable.
She is the person Jiang Jingyuan met in the teahouse in Lingjun!!!
In the teahouse, she was dressed in white, and the copper chains and bells bound around her body made her look like a banished immortal banished to the mortal world, cold and lonely; whereas in this ice cave, she was dressed in red, looking like a ghost from hell chained by copper chains, alluring and dangerous.
Jiang Jingyuan's gaze lingered on the man's face for a long time. She always felt that this man was very familiar - but it seemed that in her impression, this man should have a different and gentle style.
"Hmm... not bad."
The woman in red spoke, her voice was unexpectedly cool and lazy, which reminded people of a cat stretching slowly in the warm midday sun, then flicking its tail, looking arrogant and domineering.
She said slowly and even casually, "You are the first person to find this place."
The voice is so familiar... Jiang Jingyuan was distracted for a moment.
But soon, she became alert again, looking at the other person expressionlessly, and silently complained in her heart: "Why, you are not human?"
The guy who had said to her last time, "You're the first person to come here," was indeed not a human, but the one in front of her—
It seems that it can travel freely around the world. It should be a human, right?
"Do you want this?" The woman in red turned sideways, glanced at the aqua-blue plum blossom sleeve arrow behind her that looked like a chariot made of ice, and looked at Jiang Jingyuan with a smile.
Jiang Jingyuan paused, then asked, "Will you give it to me?"
"Well... no."
The red-dressed woman's gilded eyes curved, and even her words of refusal contained an obvious smile.
Then why are you asking... Jiang Jingyuan gritted his teeth in his heart, his face remained calm, but his eyes became darker.
Perhaps it was this inexplicable sense of familiarity that was at work. She always felt angry when she saw the man in front of her smiling casually as if he was watching a play, and a sense of resentment arose in her heart for no reason.
"Want to fight?" The woman in red smiled as if she hadn't noticed anything and reminded him, "You can fight or you can leave."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking!
A sudden surge of heat blew up from the grayish-white cave.
The overwhelming yellow and black talismans and gray pills rushed towards the scattered figure in red, as fast as an afterimage, looking like they were going to drown her completely.
Jiang Jingyuan, holding a long sword, fluttered in white like a blooming flower. In an instant, he appeared in front of the woman in red. The spiritual power around him surged, and he slashed down with his sword without hesitation.
At the same time, a delayed reply reached their ears—
"beat!"
In Jiang Jingyuan's vision, those gilded eyes curved with a smile, her red clothes and dark hair fluttered lightly, and a mighty airflow instantly surged from her body, counteracting the strong wind that had appeared in the cave earlier -
In an instant, everything floating in the gray-white cave stopped moving. The raised gray-white dust, the yellow-black talismans flying towards the red-clothed figure, and the gray-black pills all exploded in mid-air.
"boom--"
This small world suddenly shook.
In the thick white smoke, two figures, one white and one red, stood still.
Jiang Jingyuan was surrounded by white light, the long sword in her hand was humming continuously, and rich purple-red spiritual energy was wrapped around it, but the long sword in her hand could not get any closer.
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes slowly widened, and he clearly saw the woman in front of him slowly raise her hand, smile, and lightly flick the silver-white sword blade with two fingers.
“Crack—”
Rich purple-red spiritual energy surged, and spider-web-like cracks instantly covered the silver-white sword's blade.
Jiang Jingyuan's heart suddenly shook, and a huge sense of unease enveloped her in an instant. She immediately mobilized the purple-red spiritual energy and pounced on the person in front of her, while she took the opportunity to retreat.
The vast and rich purple-red spiritual power came overwhelmingly, like some ancient ferocious beast with its bloody mouth opened ferociously, lowering its head to bite the woman in red in front of it.
The purple-red light reflected on her fiery red dress and her smiling face, making her look more like a ghost slowly walking out of hell... She didn't even glance at the ancient beast above her, but simply took a slow and steady step forward.
"Bang!"
The condensed purple-red spiritual power exploded instantly, scattering a purple-red rain of sparks in the gray-white cave. The woman in red walked in it, but not a single spark could touch her.
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes blurred, and when he regained consciousness, the pair of smiling golden eyes suddenly appeared in front of him!
“!!!”
Jiang Jingyuan's heart nearly jumped out of her throat. She moved her feet and wanted to retreat quickly, but the aqua-blue spiritual rope on her wrist had already been grabbed by a plain white hand.
"No more fighting! I'm leaving now!"
Without waiting for the red-dressed woman in front of him to make the next move, Jiang Jingyuan shouted decisively.
Hearing this, the woman in red glanced at her with a smile, and agreed nonchalantly, as if she was easy to talk to:
"OK."
Okay, then you should let go of my rope...! Jiang Jingyuan looked at her expressionlessly.
The woman in red casually shook the aqua-blue spiritual rope in her hand and said with a smile, "You can stay and chat for a while before leaving."
"No."
Jiang Jingyuan's expression was about to break, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm leaving now."
The red-dressed woman showed a hint of disappointment and regret on her face. She let go of her hand, sighed softly, and said, "Okay... then, goodbye, I won't see you off."
"Thank you..."
Jiang Jingyuan had a cold face. He grabbed the aqua-blue spiritual rope on his left wrist and turned around and left decisively.
She put away her sword and walked towards the cave entrance with empty hands.
When Jiang Jingyuan was about to step out of the cave, he stopped...
The woman in red at the back raised her eyebrows in amusement, but she just turned around and asked, "Don't you want it?"
The woman in red was stunned for a moment, then said frankly without any concealment: "Yes."
"Then why don't you take it away?" Jiang Jingyuan asked casually, as if he was just curious after suddenly remembering this.
The woman in red couldn't help laughing when she heard this, as if she was amused. Then she answered the question irrelevantly, "I'm waiting for someone with a destiny to take it away."
“……?”
Jiang Jingyuan almost cursed, but he held back and asked, "Are you going to give it to someone destined for you?"
The woman in red glanced at her with a strange look on her face, asking, "Why would you think that?" and said, "Of course I want to defeat me."
"Then you may not be able to wait for your destined person." Jiang Jingyuan calmed down again and said expressionlessly.
The woman in red chuckled again, the corners of her mouth curled up wildly:
"Oh, I'm so awesome."
“???”
Jiang Jingyuan was shocked.
How can anyone boast like this!!!
At the same time, she thought calmly, "But this person is indeed powerful. The spiritual energy I just mobilized could have directly killed those people I met in the hall before. How could I be so vulnerable in front of her?
"How could such a person be unheard of in later generations?"
For some reason, she always seemed to feel an inexplicable familiarity when facing this person. Even though they had just fought, she still felt a sense of ease as if chatting casually, and asked casually, "Who are you?"
"Want revenge?" The woman had a smile on her face, without any anger or vigilance, and she still looked calm and composed.
"Okay, come on."
The woman in red said with a smile, "Qin Jiuyan."
As if she was enjoying the fun, she added, "Niao Niao Terrace, Qin Jiuyan."
Jiang Jingyuan nodded and replied, "Jiang Yunshu."
Qin Jiuyan, there's no record of her... but I seem to have heard of her somewhere before? Jiang Jingyuan was puzzled, but he remained expressionless as he turned back and continued walking out of the cave.
She turned her back to Qin Jiuyan and raised her hand and waved it casually as a farewell.
But the next moment!
A strong wind blew up in the cave again, whistling and rushing through the gray cave, sweeping away everything violently.
The yellow and black talismans exploded in mid-air. In the gray-white fog, purple-red spiritual energy was woven into long ropes, which attacked the shadowy red in the fog with lightning speed.
Jiang Jingyuan had already walked silently along the stone wall to the depths of the cave and behind the gray-white pillars.
Now that she has found this place, how could she be willing to give up the magic weapon?!
Her eyes were fixed on the aqua blue color in the thick fog. She kicked the stone wall, leaped up, and reached out to grab the plum blossom sleeve arrow on the pillar platform.
"Well...it seems you still want to try it."
A cold yet casual voice came from the thick fog. A figure in red moved and appeared out of thin air in the thick fog in front of Jiang Jingyuan in the blink of an eye.
The tassels of pearls and copper beads covering her face collided, and the dozen or so copper bells wrapped around her red dress swayed lightly, making crisp and pleasant sounds... Qin Jiuyan's movements seemed nonchalant but extremely fast, and she reached out to Jiang Jingyuan.
Just as her hand was about to touch Jiang Jingyuan's sleeve, a purple-red spiritual whip came through the air and blocked her hand.
Qin Jiuyan stretched out his hand without stopping, and went straight forward to pass through the long whip made of purple-red spiritual power. The long whip instantly turned into clouds and smoke and dissipated -
But it was just this moment of opportunity that Jiang Jingyuan turned and ran quickly towards the pillar platform.
She knew clearly that Qin Jiuyan had not used much strength in her attack, otherwise her ashes would have been scattered long ago... The gap in strength between the two sides was too big. If Qin Jiuyan was just playing around, he would soon get bored and then decisively crush her.
But Qin Jiuyan didn't.
This made her feel that Qin Jiuyan might not have lied.
Qin Jiuyan is really waiting for someone with a destiny to take this magic weapon away.
Moreover, she felt that Qin Jiuyan might have really taken her casual remark "Then you might not be able to wait for your destined person" seriously. She felt that no matter whether it was her or others, Qin Jiuyan would suppress his strength in the future.
The meaning is very clear.
Qin Jiuyan wanted someone to take this opportunity to fight this battle beautifully.
However, Jiang Jingyuan's strength, skills and even potential could not make Qin Jiuyan feel beautiful and satisfied.
So--
Her purpose was not to let Qin Jiuyan see her strength. Anyway, she only had one thing to do from beginning to end -
Take away the newly born magical weapon.
