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

But just as she was about to say something, a chilling aura, like the spitting tongue of a venomous snake, entered her nostrils.

Fifth Book's pupils contracted sharply, and the true energy condensed at her fingertips dissipated instantly. She abruptly turned her head to look out the window.

A dark figure stood in mid-air, his black robes fluttering in the wind, like the Grim Reaper descending upon the world.

Although Shen Shuchou had lost his cultivation, he could still sense a familiar yet terrifying aura.

That was the familiar scent of someone with whom he had once shared a physical and spiritual connection.

When he turned his gaze, his eyes met those of Fifth Qinghan.

"Brother Shen...it's been so long!"

The curve of Fifth Qinghan's lips did not reach his eyes.

That smile seemed to have been pulled from an ice cave, chilling to the bone, and the madness surging in its eyes almost burst forth.

Her aura spread out as if it were a tangible entity, and the entire city of Yunzhou, spanning a hundred miles, suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

The dust in the air solidified into frost. Fifth Shu Shuang gripped the long sword at his waist, the tassel moving without wind, and a chill crept up his spine to the back of his neck.

"Sister, do you really think..." Fifth Qinghan spoke slowly, her voice trailing off with a venomous hiss, "that I wouldn't bear to kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Fifth Shu Shuang felt a surge of killing intent towards her younger sister for the first time.

She didn't know how Fifth Qinghan knew about this place, but she knew that a fierce battle was bound to follow.

"Qinghan, this time, your sister will never tolerate you again."

The fifth book, Shuang Leng, said coldly!

Fifth Shushuang's outspoken stance only elicited a hint of sarcasm from Fifth Qinghan.

Finally, she fixed her gaze on Xia Lingyi, her cold eyes flashing with murderous intent, and said chillingly, "Bitch!"

The next second, the overwhelming killing intent transformed into a tangible black light, distorting the air into vortexes wherever it passed.

Xia Lingyi froze on the spot, her heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, and her blood froze into ice.

Fifth Qinghan had nothing to say to Xia Lingyi; all she wanted now was for her to die.

Just as life was about to vanish, a clear sword cry pierced the sky.

"Clang!"

The sword light, like an inverted Milky Way, forcefully cleaved through that killing intent!

The deafening roar of the two colliding spiritual energies was painful to the ears. She stood in front of Xia Lingyi, longsword in hand, the tip pointed directly at her sister, and said, "Qinghan, how dare you!"

"Take Brother Shen away, I'll hold her off."

The Fifth Book's true energy surged around him, enveloping the two of them.

Xia Lingyi understood the current situation and quickly helped Shen Shuchou leave.

With the support of her inner energy, she felt as if she were walking on air, and left Yuelai Tower in just a few breaths.

With a light touch of his toes, Wu Shu floated to Wu Qinghan's side like a white crane skimming the water.

Watching Shen Shuchou's departing figure, Fifth Qinghan wasn't worried at all, because she knew that Fifth Shushuang in front of her couldn't possibly stop her.

"Sister, your sword cannot stop me."

Fifth Qinghan stopped smiling and stared straight at her.

"Qinghan, stop. Don't cause any more trouble for Brother Shen. Perhaps we shouldn't have appeared in the first place."

Fifth Booksman still wanted to dissuade him.

"Stop?"

Fifth Qinghan suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"What you discard like trash is what I desperately desire! Since you insist on blocking my way, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

Before she finished speaking, a jet-black demonic blade rose from her palm and took shape in her hand. The blade was engraved with strange runes and emitted a captivating, eerie light.

Then, a flash of light appeared, as if the night sky had been torn apart.

Fifth Book's pupils suddenly contracted, his spiritual power trembled violently, and his cultivation at the Integration Realm erupted in full.

The longsword cleaved through the void, leaving a dazzling rainbow in its wake, and collided violently with the black light that was powerful enough to cleave space.

In an instant, the world lost its color.

The aftershocks of spiritual energy swept through like a hurricane, instantly leveling the buildings in Yunzhou beneath their feet.

Fifth Qinghan's demonic blade, imbued with a world-destroying pressure, slashed down, and wherever the blade passed, space cracked inch by inch like a mirror.

The Fifth Book's true energy surged wildly around his body, yet he was still forced to retreat step by step by this overwhelming force.

As she staggered and turned around, her pupils were instantly filled with blood.

The once bustling streets have become a living hell, with countless lives extinguished like candles in the wind amidst the broken walls and ruins.

Some people remained frozen in place with expressions of terror, while others were shredded into dust by the blade's energy, without even uttering a scream.

"Fifth Qinghan!"

She roared with all her might, her voice filled with a deep and agonizing grief.

The only response she received was an even more surging intent of swordsmanship.

The second blade of light was even more ferocious than the first, its pitch-black blade light seemingly capable of shattering the entire sky.

Without time to think, Fifth Book Shuang concentrated his cultivation into the sword, and the silver light collided with the black blade.

Amidst the ear-piercing metallic scraping sound, her hand split open, and blood trickled down the hilt of the sword.

Although the demonic blade was barely parried, its energy, like a venomous snake, snaked along the sword's edge, tearing a deep, bone-revealing wound into her chest. Crimson blood splattered onto her tattered clothes, staining them with a bewitching pattern of blood.

Fifth Qinghan looked down at Fifth Shushuang from his high position, his cold eyes filled with even more sarcasm.

"I told you, sister, your sword can't stop me."

Over the years, Fifth Qinghan has been immersed in various killings, and the strength he can unleash is far beyond what Fifth Shushuang, who has never experienced life and death, can compare to.

Fifth Shu Shuang, although she has the cultivation level of the Integration Realm, has always lived in a relatively peaceful environment and has never truly experienced the test of life and death.

On the other side, Xia Lingyi led Shen Shuchou and quickly fled into the distance.

Despite being protected by the Fifth Book's dual true energy, she was still seriously injured by the power of Fifth Qinghan's strike.

She felt her blood surging within her body, and every step she took felt like walking on a knife's edge.

Shen Shuchou, in particular, felt a mouthful of blood rise up his throat and collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless.

"Brother Shen, how are you?"

Seeing this, Xia Lingyi quickly said.

Shen Shuchou struggled to raise his eyes, his bloodied lips barely moving as he said, "You should leave!"

He didn't want to implicate Xia Lingyi, and he didn't want her to be in danger because of him.

"No, we'll go together."

Xia Lingyi used all her strength to carry Shen Shuchou on her back and slowly moved further away.

Her steps were unsteady, each step appearing so difficult.

But before she could take two steps, she saw that figure in front of her that made her feel utterly hopeless.

Fifth Qinghan had appeared in front of them at some point, emanating a powerful aura, like an insurmountable mountain.

Xia Lingyi's body froze instantly; she felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

Fifth Qinghan also noticed the blood on Shen Shuchou's lips and immediately realized something was wrong.

She did not check on Shen Shuchou's health. Although she had been monitoring the Shen family for years, she knew nothing about his physical condition.

An ominous premonition spread through her mind, causing a hint of panic to appear on her previously composed expression.

"Brother Shen... what's wrong!"

Fifth Qinghan, who had been calm and composed at the beginning, now had a tremor in her voice.

Seeing her approach, Xia Lingyi blocked her path without hesitation.

"Get out of here!"

With a casual push of his hand, Fifth Qinghan sent Xia Lingyi flying. She felt a tremendous force on her chest and was instantly sent flying.

Fifth Qinghan also came to Shen Shuchou's side, helped him up, and immediately used his divine sense to check his injuries.

The moment her divine sense entered Shen Shuchou's body, Fifth Qinghan's breath caught in her throat.

Those veins, riddled with holes, flickered like candles in the wind. When did Shen Shuchou, the one who taught her cultivation, become so fragile?

"Impossible...this is impossible..."

She murmured to herself.

Even as a blood-stained sword light, carrying a chilling aura, swept in from afar, shrouding her in the blinding light of day, Fifth Qinghan remained kneeling.

He let the sword's edge slash through her body, and blood instantly stained the area red.

At that moment, all she could hear in her mind was a deafening roar that blurred the entire world into a blood-red haze.
