Yan Lingxue's Cunning

"The Fire of Samsara is actually ineffective against you!?" Yan Lingxue's expression finally changed, her snow-white face growing even paler.

At this moment, the human torch that Gu Qingfeng had transformed into opened its mouth wide and inhaled deeply. The flames covering his body flowed like water, surging entirely into his mouth.

Gu Qingfeng's handsome and elegant figure was slowly revealed, completely unharmed.

Not only that, but even the entire path of Equinox Flowers was sucked into his stomach.

"This rich floral fragrance is really quite nice." Gu Qingfeng expressed his great satisfaction. Immediately after, he stared straight at Yan Lingxue with eyes brimming with demonic light.

"I just wonder if the taste of a snow-skinned beauty like you is as fragrant all over as these Equinox Flowers."

"Bastard!"

Yan Lingxue snorted angrily. Her jade-like hand grasped at the empty air, and instantly, countless Equinox Flowers swarmed over, slowly condensing into a floral sword in her hand.

She dashed forward with her sword. The profound meaning of Samsara transformed into sky-filling sword qi, soaring towards the heavens!

Hundreds of millions of Samsara sword qi rose, tearing through the void and evolving into a terrifying Samsara Hell. Containing the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it ruthlessly suppressed down toward Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng also grew interested. When dealing with men, he preferred to crush them, but for such a peerless beauty, he preferred to bind her with tentacles.

"Tentacles of the Ghost God!"

He slammed both hands onto the ground.

Boom!

The world trembled violently, the earth instantly cracked open, and the sky twisted in response.

Countless thick, vine-like tentacles rose from the ground and descended from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the entire Blood Moon Mountain was reduced to an ocean of tentacles.

Yan Lingxue's expression remained unchanged, her delicate body incredibly agile. She constantly dodged and shifted among the tentacles, even stepping on them from time to time for leverage, until she finally appeared like a flash in front of Gu Qingfeng.

She thrust her sword out, and the Samsara Hell pressed down, aiming directly for Gu Qingfeng's face.

Gu Qingfeng grinned. Facing the terrifying incoming strike, he simply opened his mouth wide. Crunch!

His pale white teeth directly bit down on the tip of the sword, and the phenomenon of the Samsara Hell was swallowed straight into his belly.

"What!?" Yan Lingxue turned pale with fright. She never imagined that there were teeth in this world capable of biting through Samsara.

She pulled hard on her sword, trying to extract the blade, but couldn't budge it an inch.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng's demonic claws were already reaching out toward her tender body.

Seeing where Gu Qingfeng was aiming to grab, a flash of shock and anger crossed Yan Lingxue's eyes. "Explode!"

She shouted angrily, and the Equinox Flower sword in her hand instantly detonated. Like a nuclear explosion, a sky full of flames shot up into the heavens.

Using the explosion's force, her figure vanished instantly. When she reappeared, she was already hundreds of feet away, putting distance between herself and Gu Qingfeng.

"Jiejiejie... Don't run, beauty, come here and let this Emperor have a look!"

Gu Qingfeng wore a sinister grin, the demonic light in his eyes flaring. He pushed off with his feet, his abyssal demonic qi exploding instantly like a tornado.

The ground cracked violently as his figure shot into the sky, rushing toward Yan Lingxue like a cannonball.

Yan Lingxue gritted her teeth and unexpectedly raised both hands high, as if holding up the sky.

"Blood Moon World Destruction!"

Boom!

The blood moon hanging high above the nine heavens actually came crashing down!

It ruthlessly suppressed down toward Gu Qingfeng.

It looked like a massive bloody halo, with blood-red light surging like a tide.

With this attack, Yan Lingxue was clearly borrowing the power of the Yellow Springs Ghost City. Unlike her previous borrowing of ghost god power, she was now utilizing the origin power of the Yellow Springs Ghost City.

This blood moon was the source of power for the Yellow Springs Ghost City.

The terrifying blood moon descended from the sky. Just the momentum of its fall whipped up an endless heavy pressure. Under this pressure, the Blood Moon Mountain instantly collapsed, and the void shattered.

Beneath this terrifying blood moon, Gu Qingfeng's body seemed as insignificant as an ant.

A look of gratification flashed through Yan Lingxue's eyes. "The light of the blood moon will eventually swallow everything! Die!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly and threw a punch.

It was an entirely unflashy punch, as if returning to the natural state, carrying no profound fluctuations whatsoever.

Compared to the blood moon, Gu Qingfeng's fist was like an ant's antenna, extremely minuscule.

But it was exactly this minuscule punch that, at the moment it touched the blood moon...

Boom—!

An unimaginably violent roar resounded.

The falling momentum of the blood moon instantly stopped.

Crack!

A shattering sound abruptly echoed out.

Bottomless cracks appeared all over the blood moon.

As the cracks multiplied, finally, bang!

The entire blood moon instantly exploded. The blood-red light spread outward like a monstrous flood until it was completely annihilated.

"If you have any other tricks, feel free to use them," Gu Qingfeng said after blowing up the blood moon.

However, Yan Lingxue, who should have been terrified, suddenly started laughing.

There was no longer any panic on her face; instead, she became radiant, looking as if victory was already in her grasp.

"Thank you for helping me completely undo the curse. As a reward, I will allow you to choose how you die," Yan Lingxue smiled.

At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted, as if breaking free from its shackles. In this moment, Yan Lingxue was like a supreme empress looking down upon all living beings, trampling the entire world beneath her feet.

"Undo the curse?" Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly.

Yan Lingxue chuckled softly, "Do you still not understand? I have been acting this entire time. My goal was to make you destroy the blood moon. This blood moon is the source of all curses in the Yellow Springs Ghost City. Back then, in order to completely master the secrets of Samsara, I did not hesitate to reincarnate, even turning into a ghost god and falling into this place. Although I later used the ghost god curse to control the secret of Samsara, I was also deeply cursed, forever trapped here.

Thanks to you, not only were the ghost gods destroyed, but the blood moon was also broken, allowing me to completely escape the curse. So, calling you a slave to power is not wrong at all. You are arrogant and conceited, entirely unaware that you have fallen into the enemy's trap."

Hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng finally became furious.

Seeing the angry look on Gu Qingfeng's face, the satisfaction in Yan Lingxue's eyes grew even more apparent. "Giggle... Be angry. The angrier you are, the more it proves your..."

"Shut up! You bitch! Damn it, did you not hear a single word this Emperor said to you earlier? This Emperor already said I wanted to help you lift the curse, but you just had to go through this huge roundabout way. Do you have nothing better to do!?"

Yan Lingxue was instantly stunned. She had guessed that Gu Qingfeng would get angry, but clearly, she hadn't guessed the reason.

She thought Gu Qingfeng would be angry because she used him and deceived him, but that wasn't the case at all.

He was actually annoyed that lifting the curse took too long!?

Is this man crazy?

Then, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. Having finally escaped her predicament, why should she bicker with a dead man?

With this thought, she stopped talking and reached her hand toward her back as if to grab something, even though there was clearly nothing behind her.

In the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded.

She actually slowly reached her hand into the back of her neck. Her sharp nails sliced through flesh and blood, thrusting her hand straight inside!

Immediately after, she grabbed her own spine and began pulling it outward.

Riiiip!

The spine was ripped entirely out of her back.

Held in her hand, miraculously, there was not a single drop of blood on it.

Gu Qingfeng looked closely and realized that it was not a spine at all, but rather a pale bone sword. The blade was as pale as snow and wreathed in a terrifying, forbidden aura, making it truly extraordinary.
