"So, the person you're so attached to is probably the same person as the master I'm looking for."

As soon as Qin Hongyi finished speaking, her gaze fell on Wen Yuning.

The latter trembled violently, his voice strained: "Young Master Shen..."

The three words seemed to weigh a ton, and as soon as they landed, a faint smile appeared on Qin Hongyi's lips.

The smile spread faintly along the red mole at the corner of her eye, but suddenly cooled when it touched the depths of her eyes.

A hint of murderous intent unconsciously lingered in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

Who could have predicted that after that life-or-death battle with the chained woman, she would accidentally stumble into the territory where her master's traces remained?

Even more absurdly, the person who saved her happened to be a woman who was in love with Master Xu.

In her heart and mind, she could not tolerate any woman who had any connection with her master, not even the slightest one.

Even when facing Wen Yuning, a faint trace of killing intent still flashed deep in his eyes.

But before the killing intent could dissipate, a sudden, rumbling thunder surged in the sky.

A powerful pressure, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, poured down, instantly enveloping the entire airspace.

With this oppressive force that changed the very fabric of the world, a figure stepped through the air, his toes seemingly touching invisible cloud steps. With each step, a muffled explosion of air reverberated in the void.

The cultivators present were all shaken to their core upon seeing this. Even the elders at the peak of the Mahayana realm were now like candles flickering in the wind, their backs bent like bows under the weight.

However, there was one exception in the room.

Qin Hongyi stood still, her red clothes like a burning flame, yet she remained completely unmoved under the overwhelming pressure.

This scene was witnessed by Wen Qingning, who was also bowing deeply, causing her already tense heartstrings to snap abruptly, and shock overwhelmed her entire body like a tidal wave.

She had some doubts about what Qin Hongyi had said before, but now she saw with her own eyes that Qin Hongyi could remain calm under the pressure of a half-step Emperor Realm expert.

That suspicion vanished instantly, replaced by a deeper melancholy.

Who are you?

Mu Yunyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the indifference that had been looking down on all living beings was replaced by vigilance.

As Qin Hongyi gazed at Mu Yunyi's face, a hint of bloodlust crimson crimson quietly spread deep within her pupils.

She had no intention of getting blood on this trip; she only wanted to take Wen Yuning away. However, when she learned that the person Wen Yuning cared about was none other than her beloved master, she was shocked.

In her heart, Mu Yunyi was already dead. In her world, her master was the only light, and she would not allow anyone else to covet him.

She couldn't tolerate other women around her master, but at this moment she also couldn't tolerate the woman who liked her master being targeted by someone else, especially since that person was Wen Yuning.

"I am a half-step Emperor, how dare you speak of killing me?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunyi let out a cold snort, the sound carrying an imperial aura.

Even though Qin Hongyi could withstand his pressure and make him wary, he was still a being who had stepped into the half-step Emperor Realm.

Centuries of cultivation had given him absolute confidence in his own strength, a confidence that far outweighed his fear of Qin Hongyi.

Faced with this contemptuous question, Qin Hongyi's eyes merely turned slightly cold, and her tone remained completely calm: "The Great Emperor realm is, for me, nothing more than the first threshold to witness the sharpness of my sword."

Before she could finish speaking, a thunderclap erupted from her wrist!

The Cold Fragrance Sword suddenly appeared. Qin Hongyi touched the ground with her toes and, without the slightest hesitation, swung her arm, unleashing a sharp slash that seemed to tear the sky apart.

Wherever the sword wind passed, a dark rift was forcibly torn open in the void, and even the imperial aura surrounding Mu Yunyi was slightly distorted by the sword energy.

But he was, after all, a half-step Emperor Realm expert, and his reaction was as fast as thunder.

He waved his hand in mid-air, and a mighty imperial aura surged forth like a raging torrent from an abyss. The imperial energy swirled around his palm, colliding violently with the cold, sharp edge of the Cold Fragrance Sword!

"Boom!"

The moment the two extreme forces clashed, it was as if a million thunderclaps exploded in my ears.

The void trembled violently, and a visible energy shockwave surged outwards from the two of them.

The already bent backs of the people below were crushed by the residual force, shrinking them even further.

"Hahaha! You, with only the cultivation of the early Mahayana stage, dare to boast of killing an Emperor? You are nothing but a novice!"

Above the heavens, Mu Yunyi's laughter, carrying the arrogance of an emperor, resounded like a great bell, echoing across the land.

Under the impact of the Emperor's might, Qin Hongyi actually staggered three steps backward. The hem of her red dress was torn in several places by the shockwave, fluttering like a tattered flag.

Her cultivation level has plummeted, and she is now only at the initial stage of Mahayana. Although she can calmly withstand the pressure from a half-step Emperor, it is ultimately too difficult for her to kill the enemy with a single sword strike.

Qin Hongyi remained silent throughout, but the crimson in her eyes grew even more intense.

The next second, she shattered the void with her toes, her figure transforming into a streak of crimson light, carrying with it a boundless demonic power as she once again attacked Mu Yunyi!

With each strike of the Cold Fragrance Sword, the sword wind was as fierce as the howling of thousands of vengeful ghosts. The demonic power and sword energy intertwined, forming a huge black sword net in mid-air, which tightly enveloped Mu Yunyi.

At first, Mu Yunyi was able to calmly parry with his imperial might, but as the collisions became more frequent, the ease on his face was gradually replaced by surprise, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"Rip!"

A piercing sound of tearing silk suddenly ripped through the sky!

The protective imperial aura surrounding Mu Yunyi was completely torn apart like paper by Qin Hongyi's sword!

Fragments of imperial aura scattered and flew in the air, like shattered glass, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Not only that, the Cold Fragrance Sword, which was wrapped in overwhelming demonic power, still had no diminishing force.

Like a black lightning bolt, it easily tore open the flesh and blood in front of Emperor Mu Yunyi's body. From the deep wound that revealed the bone, blood gushed out like a spring, staining his white clothes mottled and dazzling.

"How is that possible!"

Mu Yunyi gasped in shock, his voice filled with disbelief and disbelief.

He was a half-step Emperor Realm being, and not only was he entangled in a long battle with a Mahayana Realm cultivator, but now his Emperor Qi was broken and his Emperor Body was injured by the opponent's sword!

He looked up and saw Qin Hongyi standing in the void, her red clothes fluttering like the afterglow of a burnt-out sunset, her demonic power surging like a prison, her hair dancing wildly, and the crimson in her eyes almost overflowing.

That appearance was nothing like that of a Mahayana cultivator; in his eyes, it was clearly a monstrous demon god crawling out of the abyss of purgatory!

An absurd yet incredibly clear thought suddenly seized his mind.

Perhaps, this madwoman really can kill him, a half-step emperor.

Especially Qin Hongyi's current appearance, completely devoid of reason, each sword strike carries a ruthless intent to perish together with her.

Even if he left a bloody mark on himself, he didn't care at all and continued to press forward step by step, exchanging injury for injury. This kind of crazy spirit made Mu Yunyi feel a chill.

Seeing Qin Hongyi's sword once again carrying demonic power and attacking, the sword wind already causing a stinging pain on his face, Mu Yunyi's heart tightened. He knew he could not continue fighting like this.

The next second, he suddenly spun around, dodging the sharp edge of the Cold Fragrance Sword with extreme speed, his figure like a streak of light, suddenly plunging down.

Before anyone could react, he reached out and grabbed at the air, a surge of imperial aura transforming into an invisible giant hand that suddenly gripped Wen Yuning, who was being held captive to the side!

"All you want is her! I'll return her to you, and we'll call it quits today, shall we?"

Mu Yunyi stared intently at Qin Hongyi, his voice devoid of any imperial arrogance, instead revealing an undisguised urgency and tension.

His large hands, like iron clamps, gripped Wen Yuning's neck and lifted her into the air. The girl's pale face and dying struggles became his only bargaining chip for saving her life at this moment.

These words shocked everyone below, and a wave of horror swept across the entire scene!

But Mu Yunyi didn't care about other people's opinions. He was already at the half-step Emperor Realm, and after another hundred years, he would be able to ascend to the true position of Great Emperor and look down on the ages.

He could not tolerate that he had been defeated by this madwoman today, ruining hundreds of years of arduous cultivation!

However, his concessions and compromises did not cause the slightest ripple in the ears of the already mad Qin Hongyi.

At this moment, only a crimson killing intent roared in her mind, and only one word remained.

Kill! Kill this blasphemer, kill all those who hold you back, leave no one alive!

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Hongyi twisted her wrist holding the sword, and the Cold Fragrance Sword once again unleashed a sharp whistling sound that tore through the void!

This time, the sword aura was fiercer and more ferocious than before, carrying a vast demonic power capable of devouring heaven and earth, like a world-destroying thunderbolt falling from the heavens, heading straight for Mu Yunyi's face!

Mu Yunyi's expression changed drastically, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest! He hastily activated the underground imperial energy, trying to form a barrier to resist, but the power of this sword had already far exceeded his expectations.

That overwhelming sense of oppression was so powerful that even this half-step emperor felt suffocated and desperate, and he was completely unable to resist it!

During the clash, Mu Yunyi's aura plummeted at a visible speed, his imperial aura trembled like a flickering candle, and blood continuously gushed from the wound on his chest.

Even though Qin Hongyi's red clothes were soaked in blood, her aura surged wildly like a wildfire.

With each breath, it seemed as if thousands of demonic souls were roaring, and the crimson in his eyes almost dyed the entire world blood-red.

The next second, the world went completely silent!

Immediately afterwards, an aura that could shake the ages erupted from Qin Hongyi's body!

The shackles of the initial stage of Mahayana shattered on her like thin paper, and her aura instantly soared to the peak of Mahayana.

Immediately afterwards, the pressure of the half-step Emperor Realm swept out like a tsunami, colliding with Mu Yunyi's Emperor Power, causing the void to vibrate.

That aura was still surging wildly. The moment it broke through the threshold of the Emperor Realm, black demonic clouds gathered from all directions, obscuring the sun and moon.

The entire sky was shaking violently, as if it were about to be crushed by this force!

Finally, that aura landed steadily at a realm that would terrify all cultivators.

The complete realm of the Great Emperor!

"boom!"

The overwhelming demonic power pressed down like the collapse of the sky, staining the boundless firmament with a deep, inky color. Demonic patterns wandered in the void, as if thousands of Asuras were roaring in the demonic clouds.

The crowd below had already collapsed to the ground, not daring to even breathe. The peak Mahayana realm cultivators were bleeding from all seven orifices. Under this pressure, they were not even as powerful as ants!

"Great...Emperor...how could this be..."

Mu Yunyi stared at the red-clad figure standing atop the Demon's Might, his voice trembling violently.

His pupils dilated to their maximum size in utter horror, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His grip on Wen Yu Ning loosened involuntarily. "How could anyone in this world... leap from the initial stage of the Mahayana realm... to the complete Great Emperor realm in an instant..."

The next second, Qin Hongyi's blood-red eyes slowly turned towards Mu Yunyi.

There was no emotion in his eyes, no murderous rage, no imperial arrogance, only a deathly cold silence.

And in that cold depths, there are countless words of killing written in blood.

Before Mu Yunyi could recover from his shock, Qin Hongyi pointed a finger in the air with one hand—the Cold Fragrance Sword hummed and trembled.

A blood sword, refined to its ultimate form, suddenly detached from the blade and, like a crimson lightning bolt, pierced straight towards us!

"Heh... You want her? Then die together! I want to see what you look like when you kill her with your own hands!"

Mu Yunyi's pupils shrank sharply. He could clearly feel the world-destroying power within that blood sword, knowing that he could not escape it and that he would surely die today.

In desperation, a mad and ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly pulled Wen Yuning in front of him.

The girl's frail body became his last shield, together facing that fatal blow.

"Stop! Yu Ning... no!"

Seeing this tragedy, Wen Qingning below was heartbroken and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Before the words were even finished, "Pfft!"

A soft sound, yet it resounded like thunder in everyone's hearts.

The blood sword, imbued with both imperial and demonic power, pierced through both bodies without any resistance.

First, it was Wen Yuning's thin chest, then it was Mu Yunyi's heart.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining the two intertwined figures red, and also staining Qin Hongyi's lifeless red eyes.
