Chapter 17 Part 2: I Will Kill Him for You! (2)
She was so apathetic she didn’t even bother saying anything insulting to Gu Yuzhi.
A mere dog, for it is the owner behind him who deserves attention.
The arrogant attitude stung Gu Yunzhi like needle pricks.
“You’re too arrogant. Don’t blame me for being impolite. Let’s battle magic array!”
In an instant, the members of the Lingxu sect who had surrounded him dispersed and encircled Si Yunshang. In their hands, each held several Magic Flags, waving them to pass the black light to each other, forming a stunning magic array. In the blink of an eye, they imprisoned the purple light circle that Si Yunshang had released in a cage.
However, Si Yunshang was not afraid. She never fears battle. Especially when Bai Lian was standing behind her.
The master said that her sword should not be tainted with emotions, for it would become her greatest weakness.
“Only the heartless Zhi He is the strongest Zhi He!”
But in the end, she still fell captive to her emotions.
Indeed, as the master had said, compared to others, she had one more flaw.
But the master wasn’t entirely right. She never considered becoming the number one in the world!
She was a wild fox driven by hatred. Becoming the world’s number one was her tool for revenge, not her purpose. After getting her long-awaited revenge, she no longer held onto any obsession.
So, she could willingly accept someone who was stronger than herself. She doesn’t strive to be superior or inferior, she only seeks pleasure.
Yes. She had an imperfection, but what of it? That loophole was filled by Bai Lian. If someone coveting her can’t even beat her, how could they take advantage of Bai Lian by plotting against her?
“What a nonsense magic array!” Purple streamers flew by.
Si Yunshang brandished the Zhanwo Sword, dodging and twirling in the center of the magic array. Her footsteps were elusive and mysterious, making them difficult to trace. She was like a mysterious purple lotus swaying seemingly carelessly.
When she reappeared, she brandished her sword with astonishing power that could tear apart mountains and rivers, and swung it down onto a Magic Flag.
Brake—
The sword-light flew diagonally while [Field] manipulated it. After countless slashes, the person holding the Magic Flag not only left no lingering traces of a soul, but also turned into debris.
“One!”
Si Yunshang began to count.
She thought that Gu Yun might have made a mistake. People from the Lingxu sect do indeed understand her strength and fighting style well and can deal with her in a targeted manner.
But didn’t she also understand the weaknesses of the members of the Lingxu sect? Everyone was cultivating “Spiritual Emptiness Casting Saint”. Compared to them, she stood in a higher position and saw more things.
For instance, take the person in front of her right now. The spirit Qi of your Hand-Taiyang Shaoyang Meridian is not flowing smoothly. Your Lingxu Slash Dao Skill is not refined enough. Your footsteps are vague. Your reactions are slow, and you don’t excel in any aspect. Do you really think you can fight me?
The sword fell, and blood splattered. The spirit howled in agony. Si Yunshang flew towards the next target without looking back, sheathing her sword.
“Two!”
At this moment, Gu Yunzhi’s reminder came rather belatedly, “Be careful!”
But it was too late. To Si Yunshang, the speed of sound was too slow, too slow. When the word “careful” had just fallen, her Zhanwo Sword had already been stained with new blood, becoming increasingly strange.
“Three!”
Si Yunshang glanced briefly at Gu Yunzhi. Blood sprayed behind her like blooming amaryllis flowers.
Gu Yunzhi’s eyes were about to tear apart, but he dared not act rashly. He knew he was no match for Si Yunshang, so he had been waiting all along. Waiting all the way until Si Yunshang read out “seven” and until the magic array he had laid out was about to be broken.
The purple sky was suddenly torn apart by the falling rain of fire. A vast and mountainous figure emerged into view.
As soon as that person appeared, the flowing blood seemed to have found its divine being and rushed towards the giant, kneeling down before him.
The giant’s eyes flickered with an aura of timelessness, as if they were inscribed with the cycles of vicissitudes. The world around became still, even the sun and moon vanished without a trace.
He seems to be telling everyone present through his actions—
[I Am Your Sky!]
Si Yunshang became stiff as if she had been hit with a petrifying spell. Bai Lian, who now had much stronger abilities than her, also furrowed her brow.
Very strong. This person is even too strong to a certain extent. Even those two sea monsters had never exerted such great pressure on her.
However, even though the pressure was great, Bai Lian was not particularly afraid. The strength of this giant lies in his “momentum”, as if he carries the tremendous momentum that has lasted through the ages. Perhaps his true power is not as terrifying as his appearance suggests.
The giant looked first at Si Yunshang, and finally, his gaze settled on Bai Lian.
“I can’t believe that White Emperor Bai Lian is also here. It’s really a pleasure to meet you.”
“Hmm?”
Gu Yunzhi widened his eyes. Then he saw Bai Lian slowly emerge from the void.
Why is Bai Lian here?
No. This issue is no longer significant.
“!”
Damn! Gu Yun unconsciously took a step back. They are demons, and while Bai Lian is a role model of righteousness, they are naturally opposed.
This is Immortal Emperor Bai Lian, capable of beheading immortals! If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the Pavilion of Mountain and Sea’s leader’s avatar, he might have already approached the gates of the afterlife.
Gu Yunzhi broke out in a cold sweat. He felt Bai Lian’s weight, like that of a mountain, especially after seeing her chest sticking out, and felt even more pressure on himself. He… How could he possibly hold on?
Run, run!
The giant spoke up in time to calm Gu Yunzhi’s emotions. “I smell White Emperor Bai Lian’s scent on Zhi He.”
Bai Lian’s response was not particularly intense. After all, Si Yunshang had drunk the Taiyin water that flowed out from her body; having her taste was no longer anything abnormal.
Si Yunshang, however, was stimulated. She recognized the giant’s identity and knew that she had fallen into a desperate situation.
No. How could she possibly smell like Bai Lian? She is not familiar with Bai Lian, and the two of them have no relation whatsoever!
She wanted to explain herself, but the giant didn’t give her a chance to speak.
“Did White Emperor Bai Lian, like me, come to hunt down this evil female demon?” The giant’s voice fell as loud as a bell.
“…”
Bai Lian opened her mouth slightly.
How dare you say such a thing?
Oh. Right, you guys didn’t have hearts.
Si Yunshang sensed trouble and rushed forward to stop the giant, but in response, a blood-red giant claw descended from the sky.
Boom!
Bai Lian immediately summoned a bright moonlight that shattered the giant claw.
The giant was not angry. He just smiled and said, “Zhi He was originally the leader of the Lingxu sect. In order to become the sect leader, she committed countless sins.”
“?”.
Bai Lian blinked her eyes.
Honestly, she was quite intrigued by Si Yunshang’s past.
She had seen too little and too fragmented information in her dreams. All she knew was that Si Yunshang was enduring hardships, even worse than the fourth Martial Sister struggling in Xingluo Fortress.
But Si Yunshang didn’t think the same.
She gripped the Zhanwo Sword tightly.
No! Don’t say it! You can’t say it!
She danced among countless purple butterflies, trying to halt the giant’s words, but to no avail.
The giant laughed and said,
“In order to win in the ranking battles, she sabotaged her Martial Brother’s cultivation by poisoning him, and ambushed her Martial Sister, breaking her limbs.”
“In order to gain the treasures hidden in the secret realm, she deliberately provoked a beast tide, resulting in the deaths of all her fellow Martial Brothers and Sisters.”
“In order to obtain the complete cultivation method of Spiritual Emptiness Casting Saint, she trapped the sect’s steward by colluding with an external sect and later brutally murdered him.”
“For…”
Stop it! Stop it!
Si Yunshang’s body trembled violently.
It was like being peeled away layer by layer, revealing herself to Bai Lian.
But her heart was tainted with so much malice that no trace of purity remained.
This wasn’t what she had hoped to show.
She desperately tried to keep Bai Lian from uncovering her past, knowing full well that nothing about it was worth commending.
Bai Lian cherished her masters greatly and was known for her kindness towards the disciples of her sect.
Everything Si Yunshang had done would surely be unforgivable in Bai Lian’s eyes.
What right did she have to stay by Bai Lian’s side after being exposed like this?
Don’t, please don’t, don’t…
Si Yunshang’s mind was in turmoil, unwilling to face Bai Lian’s disappointed or even hateful gaze.
“In order to assert her power, she subjected her predecessor and the former sect leader to various humiliations, completely destroyed their cultivation, and demoted them to mere gatekeepers.”
“To eliminate any weaknesses, she even killed her own master.”
“Once the Lingxu sect was no longer useful, she betrayed them without hesitation.”
“While wandering the East Divine Land…”
The giant’s excitement grew as he spoke.
He knew Bai Lian was involved with Si Yunshang, but he didn’t want to clash with Bai Lian. Instead, he focused on exposing Si Yunshang’s past flaws.
Bai Lian, as a Natural Saint, could she allow this evil woman to roam freely in the mortal world?
Even if she didn’t kill her, she should allow them to do so, or the mouths of the people might be hard to silence.
Bai Lian furrowed her brow, while Si Yunshang’s gaze grew distant.
This reaction was exactly what the giant was hoping for.
If he could shatter Si Yunshang’s psyche, taking control of her body would become even easier.
Bai Lian felt confused.
What the hell?
Has Si Yunshang really endured all this on her journey?
Listening closely, something didn’t add up.
The reason for killing her master seemed absurd—was this a lie?
She turned her gaze toward Si Yunshang.
Si Yunshang recoiled as if struck in a vulnerable place.
Don’t come closer.
She kept shaking her head.
Don’t look at me, don’t look at someone so hideous!
Si Yunshang’s already sensitive heart was pierced with countless wounds.
Especially when she noticed the unusual expression in Bai Lian’s eyes, she felt like her world had collapsed.
She despised herself.
Why was she so filthy?
She only wanted to live, but that didn’t change the fact that she had committed these atrocities.
Her emotions surged violently, and the Heavenly Demon Magic Spell spread rapidly toward her divine sense, exerting an overwhelming influence on her mood.
Bai Lian still approached.
One step, two steps, getting closer and closer.
The giant smiled.
Okay. Great!
Bai Lian was too fast, leaving Si Yunshang with no choice but to retreat.
“Don’t come near me…”
Her voice was hoarse.
Bai Lian said, “Those things…”
Si Yunshang shook her head vigorously, but the words that came from her mouth were, “It was all my doing, every single part of it.”
No.
Bai Lian took another step forward.
She didn’t want to ask; she simply wanted to show Si Yunshang through her actions.
Actually…
Bai Lian hugged Si Yunshang tightly in front of everyone, her hands sinking into Si Yunshang’s waist.
Finally, she leaned in and delicately kissed her earlobe.
The warm, intoxicating fragrance brushed against Si Yunshang’s cheek.
Si Yunshang froze in mid-air.
Everything was silent, and she only heard those words:
“I will kill him for you!”
“? ذذ؟?? ¿ ؟”
