Chu Hongluan stretched, a bewitching glint in her eyes. She picked up the jade fan and weighed it in her hand, as if getting used to the feel of it. Finally, she said, "I'll be right back."
Like an arrow released from a bow, it plunged into the battlefield like a gust of wind!
How can you kill someone with a fan?
Chu Hongluan hadn't consciously thought about it, but killing someone was simply a matter of blowing off their head, slitting their throat, gouging out their heart, and destroying their internal organs—
She wasn't good with a fan, but she was extremely skilled at killing.
Amidst the scorching heat of the artillery fire, she moved swiftly in her fiery red dress, her folding fan fluttering like a poisonous butterfly wing, leaving trails of dripping blood.
Elegant, yet deadly.
Alluring, yet dangerous.
Like a bizarre visual feast.
Compared to when Liu Jinghong used the fan, his ferocity was even greater.
When Lan Xiao noticed her, she was holding a demonic cultivator by the throat with one hand, lifting him into the air.
The demonic cultivator's feet thrashed wildly, and he desperately tried to pry her wrists, but he couldn't budge her an inch.
Through the firelight, Chu Hongluan looked at him from afar, her lips seemingly curving into a smile. Then, with a sharp crack, the demonic cultivator's head snapped to the side, and she tossed it aside like trash.
This is a provocation.
Lan Xiao looked at her expressionlessly, then made a grasping motion in the air, and a moonlit scythe appeared amidst the interplay of light and shadow.
If he had known earlier that Chu Hongluan would ruin his grand plan in the Mirror Realm, he should have killed her directly during the battle at the Nameless Immortal Mountain!
"Thousand Shadow Blades—"
The long scythe swung out a semi-circular halo, which in an instant transformed into thousands of sharp blades that rushed straight towards Chu Hongluan!
Chu Hongluan calmly raised her right hand, palm facing forward, and the folding fan spun rapidly in her palm, creating a huge vortex that swept all the blades into it!
She sneered, flicked her wrist, and with a snap, pulled back her folding fan, unleashing a powerful blast! The blades instantly turned around, shooting towards Lan Xiao like shooting stars and thunderbolts!
Lan Xiao didn't dodge, but just stared at her. When the blade was close to her, with a bang, he turned into a black demonic mist on the spot, which surged out, enveloped and dissolved the blade, and then pounced on Chu Hongluan with bared teeth and claws!
"The character '巽' signifies an infinite realm of wind."
The wind rises.
The black mist that Lan Xiao had transformed into was enveloped by the howling wind and forced to stumble and crash about, "drifting with the current." It had no choice but to reform into a human form, which allowed it to stand firmly in the center of the storm.
Liu Jinghong had already walked to Chu Hongluan's side without her noticing. He took her hand and retrieved the jade fan.
“I understand my junior sister’s feelings, and I dare not be sensitive or timid anymore. I will use this jade bone fan.”
Chu Hongluan pouted regretfully, "Really? If I can use this fan from now on, I can gladly accept it. After all, I suddenly feel that killing with a fan has a unique kind of beauty."
"My junior sister is even more dashing and heroic when she wields a knife."
"Alright, I'll reluctantly believe you this once."
Chu Hongluan shrugged indifferently and took her knife.
"Ah Luan! I've run out of spiritual energy!"
Xiao Jiu's voice came from above, carrying a strong sense of lingering satisfaction.
"Come back when you're done. You've had your moment in the spotlight, so you should give us a chance to shine, right?"
Chu Hongluan smiled, looked up at it and called out, as if coaxing a child, but her words were filled with undisguised arrogance, as if she didn't take Lan Xiao seriously at all.
"Okay!"
Xiao Jiu responded, quickly shrank back, and flew into the spatial bracelet to play with A Yu.
"Long time no see, you little brat still have such a big mouth."
Lan Xiao crossed his arms and looked Chu Hongluan up and down with interest. "However, you seem quite different from last time. The bloodthirsty aura on your body is gone, but your cultivation level has dropped considerably. I don't care what tricks you have up your sleeve, but are you sure that with your current Nascent Soul stage cultivation, you can fight someone like me who's only at the Tribulation Transcending stage?"
After a brief fight that vented some of his anger, and with Liu Jinghong's breeze blowing, Lan Xiao's mind cleared considerably. He remembered that the Venerable One had ordered that Liu Jinghong not be touched.
That means Chu Hongluan can't move either.
Why?
Are you kidding me! If Chu Hongluan is killed, Liu Jinghong, that love-struck fool, will definitely be crippled. Wouldn't all of his master's years of planning and waiting be in vain?
No, no, a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan.
"Hey! You fiend! Take this!"
Clang—
A long sword came crashing down on his head, but it was intercepted by the demon horns on his head. The two collided and sparks flew.
Lan Xiao's face darkened, and he channeled his spiritual power, unleashing a powerful shockwave that sent Ke Tinghe flying!
Chu Hongluan tiptoed and peered around to make sure the idiot was still alive before turning back to Lan Xiao and letting out a sneer.
"It's been a long time. You still love to say such meaningless things. Do you remember what I said to you before you left last time?"
Lan Xiao tried to recall carefully, but couldn't remember. After all, the Venerable One was still asleep in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, and anything could only be conveyed to him in dreams. As a Grand Protector, he was busy all day long and had no time to remember such trivial matters.
But he will soon find out whether it is a small matter or not.
"Forgot? It's alright." Chu Hongluan's lips curved into a seductive smile. "You'll remember in a moment."
Having said that, he drew his sword and charged straight at them!
Lan Xiao was so angry he laughed, and coldly retorted, "A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to challenge an insurmountable barrier!"
He raised his moonlit scythe to defend himself! The crimson light tore through the void, colliding fiercely with his sword intent!
But what followed was an overwhelming aura of bloodlust! Like a wild beast baring its fangs! Violent and unrestrained! Accompanying it was an overwhelming sense of oppression!
Alarm bells rang in Lan Xiao's mind! He wanted to retreat, but it was too late! Chu Hongluan's blade came too fast! One strike after another! The light of the blades almost overlapped!
With each strike Lan Xiao parried, he could clearly feel that the next strike was even more powerful! Accompanied by the clanging of weapons, he watched as Chu Hongluan's cultivation level soared!
Late Nascent Soul Stage! Spirit Division Stage! Peak Spirit Division Stage! Tribulation Transcending Stage!
Lan Xiao was shocked and furious: "Who exactly are you—"
Chu Hongluan had lost count of how many times someone had asked him this question.
But all of those people were defeated by him.
"It won't hurt to tell you."
Chu Hongluan's long, flowing hair danced with her movements, her blood-red eyes devoid of any emotion, only wisps of eerie light flowing through them, yet she remained breathtakingly beautiful.
Her sword never paused, her red lips parted and closed: "I come from the same wilderness as you. You don't recognize me, but don't you even recognize this sword?"
Lan Xiao spun around to dodge a lightning-fast blade of light, and upon hearing this, he instinctively turned his gaze to her blade.
At first glance, it is indeed an ordinary knife.
But when Chu Hongluan intentionally poured her life force into the sword, Lan Xiao clearly saw the demonic runes flashing on the blade!
A name exploded in his heart like a thunderclap!
Demon Blade, Evil Sun!
