"Me?"

She asked softly in return, her voice still clear and crisp.

She looked at Lu Xueqi, at the azure tip of the sword pointing at her, and her eyes became somewhat vacant.

It was as if through Lu Xueqi, I saw countless similar faces and heard countless similar questions filled with disgust and murderous intent.

She chuckled softly, a sound that seemed particularly abrupt and, more so, desolate in the deathly silence of the abyss.

"I am exactly... someone that you high and mighty, prestigious sects despise and wish you could exterminate..."

She paused, met Lu Xueqi's icy gaze, and uttered the last three words:

"...A demon, cult, witch, or something like that?"

The word "demoness" was like a stone thrown into an icy lake, instantly shattering all the false tranquility!

Lu Xueqi's eyes were icy cold, and the Tianya Divine Sword shone brightly as it was fully unsheathed!

The azure sword light, like a pool of autumn water, illuminated her cold and murderous face!

No further words are needed. Good and evil are opposed, their positions are clear. Now that they have met on a narrow path, there is only one battle left in this Abyss of the Dead!

After uttering those three words, Biyao's expression vanished, leaving only a cold indifference.

She casually flicked the sleeve of her other hand.

Just then!

Biyao's expression suddenly changed. She pointed behind Lu Xueqi, or more precisely, to the darkness behind and to the side of Lu Xueqi, where Jiang Xiaochuan was, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Hey buddy! Watch out behind you!! There's something behind you!"

Her voice was urgent, filled with panic, and her eyes were fixed on the darkness behind Jiang Xiaochuan, as if something terrifying was silently pouncing out from there!

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi felt a sudden chill run down her spine!

She was extremely close to Jiang Xiaochuan, almost back to back, and Biyao was pointing in the direction Jiang Xiaochuan was facing away from!

Almost reflexively, she turned around quickly to look behind Jiang Xiaochuan, and at the same time swung her sword to protect his back!

However, just as her mind was taken by that exclamation and her body had only turned halfway around!

In Biyao's eyes, that lively and cunning look suddenly turned into a cold glint and a triumphant gleam!

From her seemingly casually fluttering left sleeve, her jade-like hand suddenly flipped over!

A soft, melancholic white light bloomed instantly in her palm!

It was a flower.

A rare flower, pure white as jade, crystal clear, as if it had gathered the essence of the moon.

The flowers are small, but exquisitely beautiful, with a faint, melancholic pink blush along the edges of the petals.

The moment it appeared, an intoxicatingly beautiful yet deadly allure quietly spread out, instantly overpowering the chill of the abyss and the previous stench of blood.

Heartbreak Flower!

Biyao flicked her wrist slightly, the movement as graceful as a dance.

That pure white, beautiful flower of sorrow transformed into a gentle yet incredibly swift white streak of light, silently shooting straight at Lu Xueqi's unguarded back as she turned away!

A feint attack, a sneak strike, aimed directly at Lu Xueqi's vitals!

"Shameless scoundrel! Treacherous and cunning!!"

Although Lu Xueqi was deceived because she was too concerned, she was still Lu Xueqi after all.

Just as he turned halfway around and caught a glimpse of that white streak of light out of the corner of his eye, boundless rage and chilling killing intent exploded forth!

She let out a clear shout, and the Heavenly Sword seemed to sense its master's overwhelming anger, emitting a high-pitched and clear ringing sound. The azure sword light surged, and in the blink of an eye, she turned around and delivered a sharp and ruthless block!

The sword light was condensed and solid, carrying the resolute determination to cut through everything, as it met that beautiful white flower!

"Ding!"

A crisp, yet strangely resonant sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out in the silent abyss. The sound was not loud, but it was exceptionally piercing, as if it could penetrate straight to the soul!

The white light transformed from the Heartbreak Flower collided fiercely with the azure sword energy of Tianya!

White light and blue light clashed, and a melancholic fragrance and a chilling sword aura scattered and collided!

The Heartbreak Flower was sent flying backward by Tianya's angry strike, its light dimming slightly.

But the strange and peculiar fragrance, with the collision, spread even more intensely, trying to penetrate Lu Xueqi's mouth and nose.

Lu Xueqi swayed slightly, her face turning even paler.

She was already exhausted of spiritual energy and her injuries were not yet healed. She relied entirely on her willpower and the advantage of the Heavenly Jade Divine Weapon to withstand this blow, and her blood and qi surged again.

Biyao's sneak attack failed, and Lu Xueqi's words "shameless demon" completely ignited her anger.

Having grown up in the Demonic Sect since childhood, she was used to the contemptuous insults of so-called "righteous people" and was extremely sensitive to the word "demoness." Now that Lu Xueqi had scolded her to her face, both old and new grudges surged into her heart.

"Good! Very good!" Biyao's pretty face turned cold, and she sneered repeatedly. Her eyes no longer held any liveliness or cunning, but only icy anger and the arrogance of the young lady of the Ghost King Sect.

"Since you keep calling me a witch, witch, wait a minute..."

She gently raised her hand, and the Heartbreak Flower floated above her palm, slowly rotating, emitting an increasingly melancholic white halo and fragrance.

She looked at Lu Xueqi and said clearly, word by word:

"I'll show you what a demoness can do!"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly flipped her wrist and activated the magic technique!

"Buzz!"

The Heartbreak Flower emitted a low hum, and a burst of pure white light instantly shone forth!

In the light, the strange flower trembled slightly, and transformed into countless identical, lifelike white flower shadows!

The flowers filled the sky, like a sudden, beautiful blizzard in the dead of winter, or like countless ghostly tears forming flying blossoms, carrying a bewitching fragrance and a sharp, cold wind hidden within, like a net covering the sky, enveloping Lu Xueqi, who had just regained her footing and whose face was pale!

Each flower's shadow, seemingly real yet illusory, contains a chilling power powerful enough to melt even the coldest iron.

Lu Xueqi took a deep breath, suppressing the metallic taste in her throat and the suffocation in her chest.

With a sharp shout, she no longer held back, pouring the last, insignificant wisp of spiritual power she had just painstakingly gathered into the Tianya Divine Sword!

"Clang!"

As if sensing its master's resolute will, Tianya let out a clear and melodious sword cry that resounded through the abyss!

The azure light on the sword's blade was like a sleeping deep sea being completely awakened, and it erupted with a roar!

The brilliance was so great that it forced back the dark red light of the God-Slaying Spear around her. The azure sword light soared into the sky, transforming into a screen of sword shadows and light like a raging sea in front of her!

Within the light screen, sword energy crisscrossed, as cold and sharp as eternal ice, carrying the righteous aura of slaying demons and cleansing the universe, fiercely meeting the sorrowful and beautiful flower shadows that swept in from all directions!

Blue light and white shadow, sword energy and floral fragrance, collided violently in the boundless darkness beneath the Abyss of the Dead!

The white light came quickly, and Tianya's blue light was already in front of him. Jiang Xiaochuan didn't think of anything, and his body had already moved.

He lunged forward.

He stretched out his arms and suddenly hugged Biyao from behind.

very tight.

Biyao's body stiffened, and the white light in her hand paused.

She probably didn't expect this, and was stunned for a moment before flying into a rage. She slammed her left elbow backward, hitting Jiang Xiaochuan in the ribs.

Jiang Xiaochuan grunted and didn't let go. Biyao became even angrier. She flipped her right hand, and the Heartbreak Flower burst into white light, pressing it straight towards Jiang Xiaochuan's face from behind.

The distance was too close for Jiang Xiaochuan to avoid, and he didn't try to avoid it either. He just turned his face slightly to the side, and the white light grazed his cheek.

A burning pain shot through my skin, like being scalded by a red-hot iron bar, but it only lasted for a moment. Blood beads seeped from the wound, but as soon as the blood beads appeared, they were drawn back by the icy suction deep in my left chest. A thin scab formed on the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Biyao was stunned. She could see clearly that the wound was not deep and not much blood had been lost. What was this person's body made of?
