Chapter 11: Even if He Is a Heavenly Lord, I Will Kill Him!
The people of Xingluo Fortress were badly injured and were already powerless to participate in this level of battle.
Ji Shang and the Great Elder’s fate was uncertain, and the remaining people were exhausted, only able to pray that the aftermath of the battle would not directly impact their bodies.
Not everyone is actually afraid of death.
They want to live because there’s a fire burning inside their hearts called "hatred".
They want to witness it with their own eyes.
Witnessing Bai Lian beheading Marquis Wu’an, burying Xu Pan, and ultimately defeating the green monster of unknown origin.
This hatred lingers in the chaotic sky.
Xu Pan and the Lord of Reincarnation are not affected in their battle against the Taixuan Taoist Sect.
Although Marquis Wu’an faced Bai Lian with a calm demeanor, his inner thoughts were still stirred up.
After all, the person he is going to intercept is a reincarnated Immortal Emperor!
Upon learning that the Lord of Reincarnation was once a Heavenly Lord, he thought his vision had widened and he would no longer fear Bai Lian.
However, when Bai Lian appeared before him, Marquis Wu’an realized he was still too "young".
Aren’t you afraid?
How is that possible!
He had two close encounters with Bai Lian at the Duxian sect and Canglong Garden.
The first time he almost died in the turbulent space.
The second time, Bai Lian effortlessly foiled his and Xu Pan’s twenty-year plan.
Marquis Wu’an was not actually afraid of Bai Lian’s cultivation base.
In terms of cultivation, he is not far behind, and now he has also received the blessings of the Lord of Reincarnation.
He feared Bai Lian’s cunning mind!
[White Emperor Bai Lian, the God-child of Victory.]
Do you think this nickname was made up?
Do you understand the saying "Learn from your mistakes"?
It is very normal for the eldest princess to meet with them here.
Because the jade plate was tampered with, at a "critical moment" it will reveal Xu Pan’s actions toward the eldest princess.
As soon as the eldest princess makes a move, the people of the Taixuan Taoist Sect will follow suit.
Upon receiving the intelligence, Xu Pan undertook the initiative to launch an attack on Xingluo Fortress.
Everything fell into place naturally as expected.
Xu Pan didn’t fear any retaliation from the Taixuan Taoist Sect afterwards. By launching the attack first, there would be no so-called retaliation!
Marquis Wu’an never expected that Bai Lian would come along with the eldest princess.
He was very certain that Bai Lian hadn’t left any mark on the eldest princess.
He was also sure that the eldest princess hadn’t leaked any information outside of Tianyi City.
"How did you manage to catch up?"
Marquis Wu’an stared at Bai Lian firmly.
Black flames were burning on him, twisting everything around him.
Bai Lian immediately had a new option in her mind.
[Task 1: "None of your business." (Reward: Focus +14)]
[Task 2: "I’m sorry, I cannot disclose that information." (Reward: Focus +14)]
[Task 3: Said expressionlessly, "What do you think?" (Reward: Focus +13)]
Well.
After finishing the task, Bai Lian exclaimed that the system was "considerate".
The clear allocation of rewards value helped her avoid distraction in this urgent situation.
Alright.
Then choose Task 3.
What does "high and cold" mean?
This is what "high and cold" means!
"What do you think?"
She pointed at Marquis Wu’an with Yu Ying Sword, and the starlight on the blade made it even colder.
At the same time, she activated the [Past Master] and [Yaoguang] fields one after another.
This is a high altitude of 3,000 feet, with only the towering Xingluo Fortress and no other buildings, nor plains or valleys.
Thus, there would not have been a snowy plain here, nor snow drifting in the surging of spirit Qi.
However, when the Field of Past Master descended, everything changed.
Cold!
Marquis Wu’an hastily turned to the left.
He didn’t see the snowfield, but he saw a white deer!
It’s not exactly a deer, it had four antlers, but its face was much gentler and cleaner than an ordinary deer.
It started running.
In an instant, the thin air suddenly burst out with a blue tide.
As if the sea beneath their feet suddenly surged upwards.
The tide leapt into the sky, and under the invasion of the cold air, it turned into falling snowflakes fluttering down.
One of the snowflakes landed on the back of Marquis Wu’an’s hand.
He was momentarily stunned.
For him, that moment felt like a thousand years had passed.
He saw the snowflake melting on the back of his hand.
He felt the coldness from the snow seeping into his flesh and blood.
He noticed a black mark appearing on the back of his hand.
A little painful.
"Has the vitality been taken away?"
The flesh on his hand back constantly wandered between destruction and reorganization, and in the end, he had forgotten the pain.
He has used to it.
Just like his life.
To obtain what one desires, it is inevitable to sacrifice something else.
"We’re very close now."
Marquis Wu’an clenched his fist.
His gaze fell on Bai Lian beyond the dense snowflakes.
She was a woman cloaked in white.
She was noble, she was graceful, and she was the most dazzling flower among thousands of snowflakes!
What is your opinion?
It’s very obvious.
Marquis Wu’an took a deep breath, he needed momentum, an unyielding momentum that would never fall!
He exclaimed loudly, "It seems that you have been plotting all of this in secret."
What?
Bai Lian, who had been building up her energy, paused for a moment.
Planning in secret?
You’ve started again, haven’t you?
Marquis Wu’an didn’t give her any time to react, he nodded and said, "This is indeed your style."
Bai Lian, "…"
Marquis Wu’an chuckled and said, "You are the strongest opponent I have encountered so far, except for the Lord of Reincarnation. I cannot match you in either intelligence or strength."
Seeing that Marquis Wu’an didn’t attack immediately, Bai Lian was happy to slowly accumulate the immense spirit Qi required for the Sunset Sword Technique.
Marquis Wu’an continued, "The reason why you are in opposition to me is because of your fourth Martial Sister, Yu Ying, isn’t it? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have come to this point. But even if I could choose again, I would still choose this path, whether it’s to conquer Canglong Garden, imprison Yu Ying, or be seen as your target to kill. I have never regretted my choices."
"I am different from you all, with limited choices, I have walked a difficult path, treading cautiously as if walking on thin ice. Fortunately, in the end, I have obtained everything I desired!"
He was utterly magnificent, his power shook the surroundings with terror.
His radiance once overshadowed Emperor Xu Pan of Heluo Country.
However, Marquis Wu’an never forgot.
When he was still young, he was a complete and utter failure.
He was born into a noble family, but he was an illegitimate child.
The warmth and coldness of the world could be clearly felt across a courtyard wall.
When he was young, he couldn’t compete with his elder brother in any aspect.
Compared to Xu Pan, his situation was worse.
Until that day, he stood under a mulberry tree, holding a dog tail grass in his mouth, and his life finally took a turn when Empress Yongjia, dressed simply, rode by on a horse.
Empress Yongjia said his eyes were different from others and reminded her of someone she was close to.
That recognition made him willingly join Empress Yongjia’s camp.
Later, he realized that the person Empress Yongjia was referring to was Xu Pan.
They were both failures, always at risk of being crushed at any time.
They didn’t have much choice but to fight if they wanted to break out of the cage.
"It is us – as the failures we are – that have arrived here today, and we shall win an even wider future!"
"…"
"I have no reason not to continue living, and no reason not to see the future that Xu Pan anticipates!"
The voice of Marquis Wu’an grew louder and louder.
In the end, he began to say things that Bai Lian couldn’t understand at all.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand what he said, it doesn’t prevent Bai Lian from sensing that his breath is becoming more and more intense, and the black flames are becoming more and more violent.
The situation has become irreversible!
At this moment, he is fearless.
At this moment, he is forging ahead without hesitation.
At a certain moment.
A strand of drifting black flame came into contact with the surging waves.
The waves were instantly ignited.
Despite the flames burning wildly, the waves remain untouched.
It is time.
A silver light flashed in Bai Lian’s right eye, and the star at the corner was also illuminated.
She held her sword horizontally in front of her.
A solid and milky white spirit power was infused into the body of the fourth Martial Sister, followed by countless sword qi bursting out.
This sword qi is not ordinary sword qi.
As soon as it leaves the body, it disappears into the void, under the mysterious rules and connections, even Bai Lian doesn’t know when and from where it will emerge.
With this sword qi, the sky full of snowflakes finally became chaotic, and Marquis Wu’an’s speed slowed down.
"Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian."
A clear and melodious sound, like that of an oriole, rang out.
Qing Luan was about to come forward.
Bai Lian shook her head slightly, "You don’t need to pay attention to this side, just go to help Bu Qingxiao. The real danger is the Lord of Reincarnation, not Marquis Wu’an."
Times have changed.
Her four basic skills have all reached over 900 points, and with other bonuses, her strength is not inferior to any Transmigration Stage cultivator.
Even if she can’t beat Marquis Wu’an for a while, swallowing another Immortal Spirit Stone will be enough to cope with it.
Qing Luan hesitated for a while before agreeing.
This is a battle of enmity.
As an "outsider", it was indeed inconvenient for her to participate.
Therefore, she flew to Bu Qingxiao’s side, who was still in a dazed state.
The appearance of the Lord of Reincarnation gave Bu Qingxiao a great shock, causing her body to tremble lightly, and it was probably difficult for others to figure out what she was thinking at the moment.
Perhaps there was excitement.
Perhaps there was a sense of loss.
After all, the Lord of Reincarnation never cast his eyes on her from the moment of his appearance.
Bai Lian cannot focus on these things for the moment.
Having been holding back for so long, it’s now necessary to let it out.
She took a step forward and struck the opening stance of the Sunset Sword Technique.
Her voice cold, she said to Marquis Wu’an, "I don’t care what your reasons are, I only seek justice for myself and my Martial Sister."
Power gathered and stars came to me!
In that moment, the starry sky shone through the drifting snowflakes, illuminating Bai Lian.
The starlight warmed Yu Ying’s heart.
She recalled the most brilliant starry sky she had ever seen.
It was the starry sky Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian unleashed against the eldest princess outside the mansion, the starry sky she and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian saw in Canglong Garden, the starry sky they saw when they bathed together.
The most brilliant starry sky was the one with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian in it!
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is now accompanying her.
"I have nothing left to be afraid of!"
Yu Ying became incredibly tough.
From losing her family until now, she has been on the road for almost twenty years.
From losing her mother till now, she has walked for ten years.
At this moment, the chance to pierce through the enemy’s body and taste their blood is right in front of her.
She must consider if this is the only opportunity she will have in her lifetime.
She has no other choice.
The only thing she could do was to follow Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s lead, moving forward, forward, forward!
"Sunset Sword Technique!"
The sword rose and the world fell silent.
This sword was incredibly dazzling.
This sword was full of ten years of obsession.
This sword had broken through wind, snow and countless cycles of reincarnation.
This sword had taken away all the glory of the world.
In the dark night with no way back, Bai Lian could only see herself, the fourth Martial Sister and Marquis Wu’an.
Marquis Wu’an was like a giant dragon dancing in the dark night, he is not just a candle dragon, but even more so.
Bai Lian knows.
Yu Ying also knows.
"This sword is not mine alone."
Bai Lian exclaimed, "This is also the sword of the fourth Martial Sister!"
Yu Ying stated, "This is also the sword of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!"
On this day, we were not fighting alone.
On this day, after walking down many familiar yet unfamiliar paths, we came closer than ever before to breaking through the barriers and reaching the edge of the Way of the Great Tao.
Bai Lian knew that if she could kill Marquis Wu’an and Xu Pan here, all the shackles on the fourth Martial Sister would be broken. From now on, there would be no more restrictions and she would be the true protagonist!
"Therefore, you must die, you must die now!"
The Yu Ying Sword descended with thousands of stars.
The sword qi hidden in the void emerged one by one.
The path of destruction and collapse spread like a tide.
Collisions started from this moment.
Slash slash slash slash!
Bai Lian seemed to transform into myriad forms, and no one could capture her specific location.
She seemed to be everywhere, yet as if she didn’t exist at all.
In the darkness, only a simple sword kept clashing against Marquis Wu’an.
One strike.
Two strikes.
Endless strikes.
Each strike would plunder Marquis Wu’an’s stamina, leaving a trace of starlight.
When the starlight accumulated to a certain degree, the power of Sunset Sword Technique finally erupted.
"Even if it is the Lord of Reincarnation, the power is ultimately an external force!"
Bai Lian suddenly appeared in front of Marquis Wu’an, holding a sharp blade and thrusting it straight towards Marquis Wu’an’s abdomen.
"Not yet at the limit, not yet!"
Marquis Wu’an shouted with a twisted face.
He desperately mobilized his own power and the power of the Lord of Reincarnation.
Countless shadows resembling fists smashed towards Bai Lian. She had to let go of this opportunity if she wanted to dodge.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Bai Lian’s cold face was also a bit more radiant, as she clenched her teeth tightly.
She knew that Marquis Wu’an was like an indestructible cockroach.
She cannot retreat, she must firmly seize the current opportunity.
This is the first time, and perhaps the last.
Therefore, she resiliently endured it by combining her Soft Skills and Hard Skills.
Yu Ying, enveloped in raging power, was shaken for a moment.
"Elder Martial Sister, shall we take a step back for now and discuss it again later?"
"No!"
Bai Lian shouted fiercely.
She had never spoken such strong words in front of the fourth Martial Sister.
Yu Ying, who was scolded, didn’t get angry, but felt a slight heartache.
This pain was ultimately covered by the warmth that subsequently surged up.
Move forward.
Move forward.
Move forward again.
She broke through the black flames, she broke through the protective magic treasures, she broke through the Spiritual Feather Clothes.
Her ears were full of the shout of Marquis Wu’an.
"You can’t kill me!"
"I will never die here!"
"Black Flames!"
"It’s impossible!"
"Come out, come out…"
Yu Ying laughed.
Your darkness is my light!
Your despair is my hope!
She finally broke through all the obstacles in front of her, tore apart Marquis Wu’an’s stomach with an endless force of tearing, and shattered his body.
Done!
At that moment, Yu Ying felt as if she had finally rushed out of the dark deep sea.
She shattered all her fears.
Marquis Wu”an?
It’s not an immovable mountain.
She emerged from the sea, turned her head, and saw Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian smiling at her.
"I did it!"
"You did it!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah–"
The painful roar became the background music to this scene.
Marquis Wu’an’s body trembled violently, his qi dissipating, his body withering. He felt he must run, otherwise, he would die here.
But where to run?
When he turned his head, he saw Xu Pan who was battling with the people of the Taixuan Taoist Sect.
Suddenly he lowered his head, he couldn’t leave, if he walked away, he would lose what he had been pursuing.
"Come on, let’s see who will die in the end!"
Marquis Wu’an grabbed the sword blade in a fit of rage and began channeling the remaining power within him.
[Self-Destruct]
This is his final resort.
Bai Lian’s facial expression changed slightly, but her attention was quickly diverted elsewhere.
The Lord of Reincarnation abandoned his attempt to possess the bodies of the Taoists from the Taixuan Taoist Sect and flew towards her, but was intercepted by Bu Qingxiao in midair.
The two stood facing each other.
Bu Qingxiao’s body was in constant unrest as she mustered and lost courage, finally blurting out, "Father."
Father.
It was a very weighty word.
After shouting this sentence, Bu Qingxiao’s body was almost emptied out. She was so nervous that she couldn’t breathe, staring fixedly at the lifeless Lord of Reincarnation.
Bai Lian and the others who knew the truth beforehand were fine, but Xu Pan, Marquis Wu’an, the people of Taixuan Taoist Sect, and the surviving people of Xingluo Fortress were all stunned.
What?
What did you just shout?
Xu Pan was momentarily bewildered.
Father?
Did Bai Lian bring the daughter of the Lord of Reincarnation?
If so, his plan, everything he hoped for…
How come?
A layer of shadow quickly covered his heart.
Marquis Wu’an’s reaction was even more intense, and he forgot to continue concentrating his spirit Qi.
Is she the daughter of the Lord of Reincarnation?
He thought Bai Lian calculated very well, but he underestimated her. Bai Lian’s plan was much deeper than he had imagined.
Once the Lord of Reincarnation betrays, he may survive, but he can never see the future he desires.
"Bai Lian, you…you’re so cruel!"
Marquis Wu’an’s face turned red, his body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"?"
Am I cruel?
We were enemies from the start. Is it considered cruel if I kill you?
"Ridiculous!"
Bai Lian shouted.
At this moment, the Lord of Reincarnation finally moved.
He raised his right hand and seemed to gently touch Bu Qingxiao’s cheek, but just as his palm was about to touch Bu Qingxiao, he suddenly increased his strength.
Push.
Forcefully pushed Bu Qingxiao away!
Bu Qingxiao, caught off guard, plopped down on the dilapidated pile of stones at Xingluo Fortress.
Her eyes widened, filled with various complex emotions like shock, disappointment, and panic.
Why?
She had considered this situation, but she still wanted to ask, why?
Bai Lian’s heart sank.
With no time to hesitate, she exerted all her strength to strike a blow at Marquis Wu’an with her sword.
To her surprise, even so, Marquis Wu’an didn’t die completely. Fortunately, Qing Luan was watching him and he could not escape.
Bai Lian walked towards the Lord of Reincarnation while holding Yu Ying Sword.
Step by step.
She was as if a moving glacier.
A cold voice emanated from her throat.
"Even if you were once a Heavenly Lord, today, if you stand in my way, I shall kill you!"
