Suddenly Seeing the Light

Autumn leaves withered and turned yellow.

A graceful and beautiful silhouette appeared.

A stunningly beautiful figure hovered high in the sky.

Standing barefoot, her features were as picturesque as a painting, and her aura was cold and otherworldly. She wore a white dress purer than snow, its hem fluttering in the wind. Though suspended in the air, she stood as if on flat ground, looking down condescendingly at Ye Shu, who was sitting cross-legged below.

In her previous life, she came to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to find the Purple Spirit Crystal to help her break through the bottleneck of the Deity Transformation stage. However, she underestimated the strength of the Amethyst Lion King. Both ended up heavily injured, and she was picked up by Ye Shu.

Who knew this guy harbored ill intentions? Under the guise of healing her, he took liberties with her and even tampered with her food and drink.

She was taken complete advantage of by this lecher and even lost her first kiss.

As a result, due to the grace of him saving her life and some indescribable emotions, she momentarily softened her heart and did not kill him, instead developing feelings she shouldn't have had.

Because of her soft-heartedness and affection, she ended up constantly wavering between Ye Shu and the Yunxiao Sect, which ultimately directly led to the destruction of the Yunxiao Sect later on.

Recalling the tragic state of her sect being wiped out and Ye Shu's ultimately heartless departing back, Feng Mengli's eyes flickered.

In this life, she appeared early to lure Ye Shu out.

Given that lecher's personality, he definitely wouldn't have been able to resist coming out to take a look. But who knew this guy didn't show up at all? It caused her to tangle with the Amethyst Lion King for a long time, consuming a lot of spiritual energy.

However, she had finally found him.

Feng Mengli looked down at Ye Shu.

At this moment, his flesh and blood were shattered all over. The Male Mandarin Duck Sword in his left hand was humming, and brilliant blue spiritual energy spilled over and wrapped around the blade like a blazing blue fire, burning his left arm along with it.

What trick was this guy playing now?

She frowned slightly, then relaxed. Never mind, no matter what he was doing, she would just kill him.

Then, she looked at Lin Qingxue, her eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

And this bitch was also that lecher's ally, drugging her food and causing her to lose her innocence.

Equally hateful, equally deserving of death.

Swept by Feng Mengli's gaze, Lin Qingxue trembled all over.

This... this isn't right, is it?

She... she is here to kill you?

She looked at the murderous Feng Mengli in front of her, completely dumbfounded for a moment, and asked Ye Shu in disbelief.

Ye Shu didn't speak, nor could he speak.

But his eyes had already answered Lin Qingxue: That's right, so it's still not too late for you to run.

Not too late my ass!

Lin Qingxue cursed angrily, her face full of despair.

Why didn't you say earlier that she was here to kill you? You made me keep following you. If I had known, I should have run away from the very beginning!!!

It's all because of you, I'm dead meat!

Boohoohoo... I'm dead for sure! It's all because of you, you bad guy. Why are you so bad? Why didn't you say so earlier... boohoohoo...

I'm still so young, I don't want to die yet.

Lin Qingxue cried and cursed at the same time. Her legs gave way from fear, and she fell weakly to her knees on the ground.

Just then, a voice rang in her ear.

Don't... don't fucking cry.

You didn't ask at the time either.

Seeing that Feng Mengli was already preparing to strike, Ye Shu had to spare some mental energy to speak to Lin Qingxue via voice transmission.

Even though it was a voice transmission, his spiritual energy trembled due to the pain.

The crying Lin Qingxue froze.

Before she could react, Ye Shu had already transmitted his voice at the fastest speed: Now, immediately, ask the three questions I just left for you. It must be before she makes her move.

Could those three questions hide a chance of survival?

Like grasping at the last straw, Lin Qingxue forced her head up, looked at the lofty Feng Mengli, and asked loudly:

May I ask for the young lady's name?

You don't deserve to know.

Have I ever offended the young lady?

Never.

Have I ever met the young lady?

Never.

Have I ever done any evil deeds in the past that disgusted the young lady, to the point of chasing me down here to kill me?

Never.

The three questions were finished.

Lin Qingxue suddenly froze.

How similar this scene was, exactly like when Ye Shu asked her three consecutive questions by the riverbank back then.

The same lofty answers.

The same unreasonable killing intent.

Only now, the person asking the questions was her, and the person holding her life and death in her hands was high above.

So this was how Ye Shu felt at the time?

Lin Qingxue suddenly shed tears.

She realized she was wrong, ridiculously wrong. Unfortunately, by the time she suddenly woke up to reality, she didn't have Ye Shu's strength to uphold the word reason.

Just then, a voice rang in her heart.

Raise your head, don't be afraid.

At the same time, Ye Shu, who had been sitting cross-legged all this time, suddenly opened his eyes. The sharp glint in his pupils surged, the azure flame on his left hand shot up into the sky, and 361 acupoints lit up to the extreme, squeezing out the last trace of spiritual energy in his body and pouring it all into the Male Mandarin Duck Sword.

Clang clang clang!!!!

The Male Mandarin Duck Sword trembled violently, emitting a passionate hum!

A massive amount of spiritual energy spilled over and wrapped around it like fire. From a distance, it looked magnificent and deadly, like a star ready to erupt at any moment.

Crack crack crack—

Then, Ye Shu moved.

His left arm bent and deformed like forcibly twisted raw iron. Countless fragments of flesh and blood fell from it, and blood gushed like a fountain! But he didn't care at all, forcibly breaking through the side effects of the Iron Armor Pill, and swung this sword with all his might.

Clang!

The sword slipped from his hand.

No, it didn't slip; rather, he slashed the Male Mandarin Duck Sword out along with the sword light.

Lin Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened, her small mouth slightly open.

The oppressive force of this sword had long surpassed the level that Qi Condensation should have, even far exceeding Foundation Establishment. If she were the one to bear this sword, she feared she would end up being cleaved in half.

This sword was incomparably dazzling.

Even the sun paled in comparison before it.

The magical beasts within a radius of dozens of miles all raised their heads in unison, curiously looking at this sword light as bright as the sun.

However, facing this heaven-splitting and earth-shattering sword.

Feng Mengli's expression did not waver in the slightest.

She simply raised her hand and grasped at the empty air.

Crack!

That heaven-splitting sword light, carrying all of Lin Qingxue's hopes and illuminating a radius of dozens of miles, shattered in an instant.

The blade of the Male Mandarin Duck Sword was firmly grasped by Feng Mengli.

It could not advance an inch!

It didn't even scrape her skin.

Lin Qingxue despaired.

Is the gap between Qi Condensation and Deity Transformation really this huge? It can't even be shaken?

Nice fireworks.

Feng Mengli's expression was indifferent as she commented lightly, As an entertainment program before your death, it's not bad.

Fallen leaves drifted down.

With their backs against the wall, the sword strike having failed, Lin Qingxue was already in despair, but Ye Shu's expression didn't even change.

It was unknown whether he had already despaired and was waiting for death.

Or if he was unable to make any expression due to the side effects of the Iron Armor Pill.

Blood flowed slowly down Ye Shu's crippled left arm.

He sat cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation.

Whatever the reason, this bizarre scene made Feng Mengli frown slightly.

Too calm, it was simply too calm.

In her previous life, this lecher was also full of weirdness.

Although his strength was clearly lacking, he could always burst out with combat power beyond ordinary people at critical moments.

I don't care what you do, I'll just kill you.

Feng Mengli suppressed the unease in her heart, and her eyes became icy cold again.

No matter what strange tricks he was hiding, the threat of life and death would surely force them out.

She hesitated no longer. Raising her fair hand, she prepared to slay the lecher with his own weapon.

Swish!

The sword light flashed brilliantly, arriving in a split second.

It did not aim for overwhelming power, only a swift kill.

However, at this critical moment, a massive figure firmly planted itself in front of Ye Shu.

It raised its head and stood proud. Its body was as massive as a mountain, and every strand of its fur radiated the oppressive aura of a powerhouse. The purple crystal on its forehead gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.

The newcomer was none other than the Amethyst Lion King.

The sword light struck its body, doing nothing more than severing a few strands of fur.

Roar!!!!!!

Only then did a deafening roar that shook the entire forest follow. The rolling sound waves caused the leaves to rustle and shower down from the branches.

Moreover, there seemed to be something else on the Amethyst Lion King's back.

Lin Qingxue narrowed her eyes and looked up. Against the glaring sunlight, the silhouette of a petite beast stood with its chest puffed out and head held high, mimicking its father's imposing posture as the king of beasts.

It was only then that Ye Shu finally revealed a victorious smile.

"Now, I win."
