The sword light grew closer and closer.
Before it had even fully fallen, the aura of death already filled the hearts of the two people.
"Chi!"
But at this moment, a dazzling glow suddenly erupted from Ye Yi's waist.
The glow swept out.
Almost instantly, it knocked Bai Qianyi's sword flying.
The long sword slipped from her hand and Bai Qianyi tumbled in midair. Looking at her cracked tiger mouth, she was filled with disbelief.
Of course, the cracked tiger mouth was not enough to attract all of her attention. Instead, she looked towards the scroll that slipped from Ye Yi's waist and then slowly ascended into the air.
The Ye Neng couple, who thought they were going to die, also reacted and looked at the scroll in shock as it floated up.
Under everyone's gaze, the scroll slowly unfolded in the air under the illumination of the glow.
"A painting!"
"Yi'er, look, it's the painting Master gave you!"
Ye Neng's voice trembled with excitement as he shouted.
"Father, it's the painting Master gave me. It's the painting Master gave me showing its might!"
Ye Yi also shed excited tears and shouted, "Turns out Master never miscalculates. He already predicted everything that would happen afterwards."
"That's right, Master must have predicted all this," Ye Neng excitedly echoed, his face full of reverence. "I said why Master would randomly give you a painting. So this is why."
Bai Qianyi's body was filled with a bone-chilling air and her eyebrows were tightly knitted.
Because she felt an absolute threat from this painting, one even more fearful than the appearance of the black-robed man earlier.
However, she was unwilling to admit this threat.
After all, in her eyes, this outside world with only 20 million years of inheritance could not compare with the virtual realm that had continued for several eons.
These country bumpkins in front of her, the noble Baiyang Palace fairy, were only fit to be her slaves.
Therefore.
A wood carving was already enough to catch her by surprise and make her unable to accept it.
How much more was she willing to accept that this rural place had appeared again and again to make the proud Bai Qianyi feel afraid?
Her status.
Her arrogance did not allow her to feel afraid.
Finally.
The scroll completely unfolded in midair, revealing an image of a woman.
She stood gracefully, with her chin held high as she sat, brimming with beauty.
"It's you?"
Bai Qianyi recognized the woman in the painting as Ye Yi with one glance, and her wary expression instantly disappeared from her face.
This woman herself was just a waste, let alone being in a painting?
Sure enough.
The earlier threat was just her misperception.
A cold sneer emerged on her face.
But in the next moment.
She realized her thinking was completely wrong.
The woman in the painting seemed to have come alive. She tilted her head and fixed her eyes on Bai Qianyi's body.
And her eyes seemed to contain some hidden power.
She didn't know why, but her gaze made Bai Qianyi's scalp tingle as the cold smile on her face instantly froze.
Before she could recover her senses, two pillars of white light shot out from the eyes of the woman in the painting and rushed towards Bai Qianyi.
The space evaporated into nothingness wherever the light pillars passed, sending out ripple after ripple.
An unprecedented sense of crisis and fear filled Bai Qianyi's heart, making her heart and mind tremble as cold sweat streamed down her body.
Even someone as arrogant as her, the thought that first appeared in her mind at that moment was to flee.
Because she strongly sensed that if she was struck by those two pillars of light, the only outcome awaiting her would be annihilation.
The immortal energy in her body surged as Bai Qianyi stepped on air and desperately flew towards the distant sky.
As she fled, her breathing grew hurried. When she looked back, her eyes widened in horror.
The light pillars.
They had already reached her back.
"No."
"Don't."
She let out a shrill scream in despair, urgently trying to dodge with her body.
But all her efforts were futile.
The two light pillars directly pierced through her body and exploded into a bloody rain in midair.
Not even bones remained.
Only her wretched screams still echoed faintly in the air.
Ye Neng and the four Chiefs who witnessed this scene felt their scalps tingle.
The might of those two pillars of light was truly too terrifying!
However.
The glow of that painting did not diminish at all. Those eyes of the painted Ye Yi moved once again.
With that movement, two more pillars of light shot out towards the distant sky.
In the empty space dozens of miles away, space fluctuated and Bai Qianyi walked out with her face full of fear. Covered in cold sweat, she sat paralyzed on the ground.
That feeling of death's danger was truly too horrifying.
She never could have imagined that she, the esteemed fairy of the Baiyang Palace in the virtual realm, would have died twice in one day in this rural backwater.
This also represented that two of the three imprints on her arm had already dimmed.
But before she could even catch her breath, the sense of danger appeared again.
She looked back and instantly discovered the two light pillars shooting her way from the distant sky, locking straight onto her.
"Ah!"
"Don't!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong. Please spare me, don't kill me!"
Bai Qianyi's eyes were filled with extreme terror as she stared at where the light pillars were shooting from, her voice sounding like she was begging.
However.
Her pleas for mercy did not make the light pillars pause in the slightest.
Chi!
The light pillars once again pierced through her body.
Her life that had just been revived did not even have the chance to take a single step before it vanished into thin air again.
In another location dozens of miles away, Bai Qianyi emerged from the space once more.
The Bai Qianyi that emerged was filled with terror. Breathing heavily, she did not dare pause at all and fled towards the distance.
Because all the imprints on her arm had disappeared.
If she died one more time, it would mean the end of Bai Qianyi's life.
As she hurriedly ran, she kept glancing back.
Sure enough.
Flickering withing the space behind her.
Were two faint beams of light, shining towards her.
Seeing this sight, Bai Qianyi was scared out of her wits. Trembling, she frantically took out a golden scroll from her storage ring and threw it out.
The scroll flashed with light, causing a black teleportation array to appear over her head.
This teleportation talisman could teleport her back to the Baiyang Palace instantly.
But that tiny bit of distance to the teleportation array made her feel it was as far as the ends of heaven and earth, because the light pillars that shot towards her once again had arrived, tearing through the air.
Despair filled Bai Qianyi's heart.
She desperately dashed forward while screaming hysterically from her mouth at the same time.
"Save me, Patriarch, Master, Chiefs, Elders, save me... Please save me..."
Feeling the increasingly stronger sense of crisis behind her, she gazed longingly at the teleportation array, looking extremely miserable.
Finally.
A figure emerged from within the teleportation array.
It was an old man in his sixties.
He had an immortal air, grasping a horsetail whisk in his hand, his whole body radiating powerful energy.
"Elder Yun, save me!"
Seeing the arrival, Bai Qianyi was like a drowning person grasping at straws. Her hoarse voice shouted: "Elder Yun, save me!"
"Fairy, fear not. Old me is here, no one can harm you," Elder Yun's face sank. He immediately strode out from the teleportation array, his voice containing immortal energy rumbling through the air.
"Yuntian of the Baiyang Palace is here. Who dares harm my palace's fairy?"
However.
His voice had just fallen when the two light pillars directly pierced through his body.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
