Chapter 220 Cold Moon's Deadly Strike
Zhu Ziyue exhaled purple energy from her eyes, and her hands moved again, causing dust to rise from the ground under the influence of her magic, like four tentacles tightly locking Ling Beixiao's limbs.
"This... how is this possible?" Ling Beixiao was shocked. His ultimate technique, Shattering Hand, was completely ineffective under the suppression of Zhu Ziyue's Yin-Yang Qi. Cold sweat had seeped out from his temples.
Shangguan Qinghuan exclaimed in amazement, "This young woman's magic seems to be specifically designed to counter your father's 'Rainy Levitation'!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xueyan raised her eyebrows, "What kind of spell? Is there a way to break it?"
Shangguan Qinghuan shook her head and said with a serious expression, "I also heard my master mention that the Yin-Yang School's Yin-Yang Lily Technique can turn soil into generals and scatter beans into soldiers! There is also a supreme technique called Soul-Seizing and Soul-Shattering that can make all things lose their spirit and the five elements lose their balance!"
Ling Xueyan heard every word clearly and instantly recalled: Could it be... Yi Qingxue! Yi Qingxue is also a Yin-Yang practitioner! No wonder she could easily break my Rain Levitation technique; it seems Yin-Yang magic is indeed the counter to Rain Levitation...
Seeing that Ling Beixiao's hands and feet were bound and his five senses were completely suppressed, Zhu Ziyue immediately unleashed a powerful strike with her right index and middle fingers. Her pink figure flashed like a ghost, sealing Ling Beixiao's central dantian.
Just as Ling Xueyan was about to make her move, Ling Qichen arrived, bound Ku Baidiao, and said, "Miss Ziyue, please pause the fighting!"
"Hmm?" Zhu Ziyue murmured, glancing at Ling Qichen and Ku Baidiao. With a flick of her wrist, she immediately stopped using her ultimate techniques, Soul-Seizing and Five Elements Lily.
The four mud chains binding Ling Beixiao instantly turned to dust, and everything around him returned to its original color. Ling Qichen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Ziyue, I learned that Ku Baidiao was hiding in our army, so I took action to capture her! Those thousands of refugees died innocently. How to deal with her is entirely up to you!"
Zhu Ziyue then slightly concealed her murderous intent and waved her hand to remove the seal on Ling Beixiao's body.
"Father, are you alright?" Seeing that Ling Beixiao was freed, Ling Qichen hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Ling Beixiao said in a deep, angry voice, "You two know each other?"
Ling Qichen hurriedly said, "Miss Ziyue saved my life. Please, Father, calm your anger and don't let the murderous maniac Ku Baidiao hinder our alliance and invite the scorn of thousands!"
Ling Beixiao's cheeks puffed out twice as he heard this. He glanced coldly at Zhu Ziyue, waved his hand, and said coldly, "Well then, you can decide for yourself." Before he finished speaking, he had already turned and left.
Zhu Ziyue had already arrived in front of Ku Baidiao, her cold purple eyes gleaming with a chilling light. "When heroes vie for supremacy, the suffering of the people is inevitable..." As she spoke, a look of sorrow flashed in her eyes.
In an instant, his murderous intent hardened. "However, you poisoned the porridge and murdered innocent people, causing thousands of refugees to die tragically. Your methods were despicable and insidious, and your crimes are unforgivable."
Ku Baidiao watched as Zhu Ziyue's delicate brows furrowed, her gaze sending chills down her spine. She hurriedly called out in a hoarse voice to Ling Xueyan beside her, "Ling Xueyan, what did you promise me?! Do you expect me to expose all the good things you've done? Help me!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qinghuan and Ling Qichen's gazes instantly fell on Ling Xueyan. A faint smile appeared on Ling Xueyan's round face, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten! We made a promise!" As she spoke, she walked up to Ku Baidiao.
Ling Qichen cried out urgently, "Little sister, don't do anything foolish!" fearing that Ling Xueyan would release Ku Baidiao.
Zhu Ziyue knew that Ling Xueyan was wicked and not a kind person! She glanced at Ling Xueyan's every move out of the corner of her eye. If she suddenly attacked her, she would not care about Ling Qichen's feelings and would definitely make her pay.
The withered and desolate creatures seemed to have seen a savior, and their ugly faces showed joy.
Ling Xueyan raised her hand to loosen the ropes binding her, and said indifferently, "Back then, when you worked for Ouyang Longyuan, you often tormented me and even chased my brother for thousands of miles. If it weren't for Ziyue's rescue, I'm afraid I would have already met my demise at your hands! What kind of friendship do we have?"
Seeing Ling Xueyan turn her back on him, and even kicking him while he was down! Ku Baidiao's lips trembled with anger, "Ling Xueyan, you..."
Before Ku Baidiao could say anything, Ling Xueyan swung her hand and struck Ku Baidiao squarely on the head with a "bang." Blood gushed from his head, and he collapsed to the ground dead.
Ling Xueyan stared at the corpse with her piercing eyes and said loudly, "Miss Ziyue is absolutely right! Ku Baidiao's crimes are unforgivable. Such a ruthless person should have gone to hell to atone for his sins long ago! Today, I, Ling Xueyan, will punish this scoundrel on behalf of Heaven and seek justice for the thousands of innocent people who died unjustly!"
Shangguan Qinghuan stepped forward and immediately echoed, "Master Ling did well! Now that the culprit has been brought to justice, the thousands of innocent people who died in vain can finally rest in peace. Our army is about to be reorganized, so we must not let anything damage our harmony! Miss Ziyue, don't you agree?!" After saying that, she looked at Zhu Ziyue with a flattering expression.
However, Zhu Ziyue didn't even glance at him, as if he didn't exist. Instead, she slowly walked up to Ling Qichen and said, "Young Master Ling, my business is now finished. Farewell." After saying that, she nodded politely.
Ling Qichen immediately cupped his hands in greeting, "Miss Ziyue, please take care!"
Zhu Ziyue tossed her pink dress aside, turned, and left, ignoring everyone. Shangguan Qinghuan, though neglected, felt no resentment; instead, she longed for Zhu Ziyue even more.
"Little sister!?" "Sister!" "Yue'er..." The Zhu family members all called out, but Zhu Ziyue remained oblivious, her graceful figure passing by everyone, surrounded by bees and butterflies, leaving only a lingering fragrance.
The night breeze rustled, and the bright moon hung high. In the thatched cottage of Yue Ruchu, Qiuxia nestled in Xiaoyaolang's arms, her jade hand intentionally or unintentionally drawing small circles on Xiaoyaolang's chest. Through the roof that had been shattered by the force of the energy, they gazed at the starry sky, chatting about their past lives and their individual experiences.
"After saying all this, Murong Hanchan is still your biggest worry. Believe me, go find her! Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life. I don't want you to carry this sorrow in your heart." Qiuxia suddenly leaned close to Xiaoyao Lang and gently advised him.
A warm feeling welled up in Xiaoyao Lang's heart; perhaps this was the care of a virtuous wife. He tightened his embrace around Qiuxia, "Are you really not planning to establish your own household and live a life of being a wife and mother with me?"
Qiu Xia felt a wave of heat wash over her face. She couldn't forget that scent, a scent that made her linger and fall in love. "I used to think that life is like a dream, fleeting and carefree, I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals! To stay with my lover forever, to grow old together. But since I met you, my thoughts have changed!" After saying that, Qiu Xia propped herself up and looked up at Xiaoyao Lang with deep affection.
The two were standing very close. As Xiaoyao Lang gazed at her beautiful face and thin, red lips, a strange feeling stirred within him. He swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, "Why... have you changed your mind since meeting me?"
"Because you gave me a dream! A dream I can't realize but long for!" Qiu Xia said softly, raising her right hand leisurely, her thumb gently gliding across Xiaoyao Lang's red lips.
