After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

A terrifying aura erupted like a volcano, echoing throughout the land.

Under the shroud of the blood-red arena, Shen Shuchou was like a world-destroying demon god.

Her long, crimson hair moved without wind, burning wildly like flames.

Those eerie red eyes, filled with a cruel and violent aura, were fixed on Ye Xie.

Blood-red patterns covered his entire body like scales, as if he were wearing a layer of armor. At this moment, Shen Shuchou seemed to have been reborn, his body filled with a terrifying power that could destroy everything.

This sudden situation happened in an instant.

Ye Xie's beautiful eyes widened, and her delicate body trembled and spasmed uncontrollably.

Ye Xie stared incredulously at Shen Shuchou below, who resembled a demon god. She sensed a familiar aura emanating from Shen Shuchou.

This was extremely similar to the aura of the Blood Nether Pearl in her hand. Ye Xie then looked at the long sword in Shen Shuchou's hand that was flashing with an eerie light.

An idea surged uncontrollably into Ye Xie's mind: he would do whatever it took to seize that long sword.

Her intuition told her that this strange longsword was something even more terrifying than the Blood Nether Pearl in her hand.

The Blood Nether Pearl's power is enough to be called an Emperor-level weapon, but the aura emanating from that sword is even greater.

One second he was just an ordinary person with no power to even kill a chicken, and the next second he was able to create such a terrifying phenomenon.

Especially the gate to hell that appeared out of nowhere behind them, as if it could devour all living things.

Just as Ye Xie was thinking this, Shen Shuchou below made a move.

At this moment, Shen Shuchou was almost swallowed up by the murderous aura emanating from the demonic blade.

Because he is not the true owner of the Demon Blade, even though the system allows him to use it for now.

However, Shen Shuchou was, after all, just a mortal. If he hadn't been restricted by the system, he would probably have already exploded into a cloud of blood mist by now if he had activated this peerless weapon.

Right now, he must act quickly to subdue the enemy, but in his current state, he can only unleash one strike.

Therefore, Shen Shuchou must exert all his strength to maximize the power of the demonic blade in this strike.

Shen Shuchou's eyes were ferocious as he slowly raised the Demon Blade Listening to Spring Rain, as if he were holding the weight of the entire world in his hand.

A chilling power erupted from the blade, spreading out with unstoppable force.

"kill!"

Without any hesitation, Shen Shuchou swung his sword towards Ye Xie.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a dazzling flash of blood-red blade light suddenly appeared.

The blade of light ripped through the void like lightning, carrying boundless killing intent and a fierce aura.

The appearance of this crimson blade light filled Ye Xie with an indescribable sense of fear and oppression.

It was as if a demon had risen from hell, carrying the power to destroy everything.

The crimson blade light almost enveloped the entire world, its vastness leaving Ye Xie nowhere to hide.

Ye Xie hurriedly handed over the Blood Nether Pearl, and a terrifying force instantly collided with the blood-red blade light.

boom!

With a single blow, the vast Jiangyun County was split in two, and a crack was torn open across the entire land, stretching out into the distance.

Under this single strike carrying a torrent of blood, Ye Xie's delicate body was instantly devoured, turning into blood mist and dust in an instant.

Taking advantage of this moment, the Blood Nether Pearl vanished from its spot and fled towards the horizon.

At this moment, Shen Shuchou's consciousness was completely affected by the killing aura of the Demon Blade, and his entire face was distorted.

His flesh and blood shriveled up at a visible rate, and his life force was being continuously absorbed by the demonic blade.

Just as they were about to become food for the demonic blade, a petite figure rushed over without hesitation.

"elder brother..."

Pei Rou threw herself into Shen Shuchou's arms, crying out with tears streaming down her face.

Seeing Shen Shuchou's current state, Pei Rou felt as if an earthquake had struck her heart, and her fragile heart ached as if it had been pierced by a thousand arrows.

Pei Rou knew she had to do something; she couldn't let her brother stay like this forever.

Then Pei Rou's gaze fell on the long sword that was flashing with an eerie blood-red light. Without any hesitation or fear, she reached out and grabbed at it.

Pei Rou knew that this blood-sucking knife was the cause of all this; if it wanted to suck blood, it would suck her dry.

Anyway, Shen Shuchou saved her life, so now she'll return it to her brother.

"If there is such a lifetime, I will still be your sister."

Pei Rou whispered in Shen Shuchou's ear.

The next second, he grabbed the knife handle and snatched it away, about to cut open her skin and let the knife suck her blood.

But then, a sudden change occurred.

The moment Pei Rou touched the monstrous demonic blade, it strangely fell silent.

Even the eerie blood-red light slowly faded, and the aura of brutal slaughter vanished instantly, replaced by a strange emotion.

Pei Rou's face suddenly froze, and she stared at the long sword in her hand, somewhat at a loss.

The moment she took the knife, a feeling rushed into Pei Rou's heart, and a strange emotion entered her mind.

She could clearly sense a feeling of elation emanating from the demonic blade, as if it were trying to win her favor.

This feeling is like the excitement of finally seeing the person you've been waiting for.

Although Pei Rou didn't know what had happened and that the demonic blade hadn't absorbed her blood, she still instinctively threw the blade to the ground.

With a clang.

The demonic blade fell straight to the ground, now reverting to its previous state as an ordinary iron blade.

The moment she released the blade, Pei Rou sensed another emotion on it, but this time it seemed somewhat sorrowful.

Pei Rou couldn't care less about that and quickly checked on Shen Shuchou's condition.

The moment Shen Shuchou closed his eyes, all he saw was Pei Rou's small face with glistening tears.

......

......

On a small hilltop, a boy who was cutting grass with his head down suddenly looked up.

The boy stopped what he was doing as soon as he saw something in the bushes ahead.

With a hint of curiosity on her face, she cautiously approached the inside.

Gently parting the grass, one could see a bead inside, constantly flashing an eerie red light.

The boy's gaze was instantly drawn to the blood-red bead.

The boy's name was Li Niu, and he was a villager from Li Family Village, located at the foot of the mountain.

Li Niu was so captivated by the Blood Nether Pearl that he couldn't look away. Although he was young, he wasn't stupid.

This bead is clearly no ordinary object; it even glows.

At that moment, a voice seemed to be ringing in Li Niu's mind: to pick up the bead and keep it for himself.

Just as Li Niu was about to make his move, he suddenly remembered the lesson his father had taught him: one should not take what is not one's own.

Thinking of this, the boy's gaze lingered on the beads.

But Li Niu didn't leave. Instead, he shouted to his surroundings, "Is anyone there?"

But after a long while, all he heard was the sound of the wind in his ears.

After a long silence, Li Niu's face showed a conflicted expression, and his eyes unconsciously turned to the beads again.

This time, Li Niu hesitated only for a moment before reaching out and picking up the bead.

The first impression upon touching it was that it was ice-cold all over, and for some reason, Li Niu suddenly felt as if a cold wind had swept past his back, sending a chill straight to his brain.

He quickly turned around to look, but there was nothing there. Just as he turned around, the red light of the Blood Nether Pearl in his hand suddenly became even stronger.

"If we sell this, we'll have money to treat Dad's illness, and then we can buy delicious food for my little sister."

Li Niu thought he was being too sensitive, after all, it was the first time he had found such a treasure, and it was also the first time he had contradicted his father.

All he wants now is to go back to the village, then run to the nearby town to sell his belongings. With the money, he can cure his father's leg and buy some good food for his younger sister.

After Li Niu finished speaking, the light of the Blood Nether Pearl in his arms dimmed once again.

Li Niu quickly hid the bead in his bosom and ran down the mountain with a cheerful expression, not even finishing cutting the grass in the basket on his back.
