Chapter 187: I’ll Spare Your Dog’s Life, Now Die!
Since Zhao Ningzhi heard the woman’s voice, she also began to behave more respectfully, becoming extremely courteous.
“Senior Sister Shangguan, we have brought back Yunxi and Lin Fengmian.”
“Disciple, greet the sect leader (Master).”
Lin Fengmian did not dare to look around as he bowed deeply with Xia Yunxi.
Shangguan Yuqiong was momentarily stunned when she heard their voices, and her gaze fell on Lin Fengmian and Xia Yunxi.
She stared at Lin Fengmian for a long time before finally shifting her gaze to Xia Yunxi.
“Yunxi, I have always treated you well. Why did you leave the sect?”
Her voice was cold and ethereal, echoing through the vast hall as if it came from the heavens, exerting immense pressure on everyone present.
Xia Yunxi bit her lower lip and knelt down. “Disciple knows I was wrong, please forgive me, Master.”
Shangguan Yuqiong coolly replied, “I asked you why you left the sect!”
“I was blinded for a moment and did something foolish. After tasting the sweetness of physical pleasure, I returned,” Xia Yunxi explained weakly.
“Huh, is that so? Was it not because of this Lin Fengmian?” Shangguan Yuqiong cut to the heart of the matter.
“No, it has nothing to do with Senior Brother, it was my own fault,” Xia Yunxi said quickly.
“If it’s not because of him, Ningle, find a man for her. If she copulates with another man in front of him, I will spare him,” Shangguan Yuqiong sneered.
Xia Yunxi’s face turned pale, and Lin Fengmian’s anger flared up. He shielded Xia Yunxi behind him and glared at Shangguan Yuqiong.
“Deal with me, don’t touch Yunxi!”
Shangguan Yuqiong’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Lin Fengmian, do you not realize your own situation?”
With a wave of her hand, a fierce wind struck, and Lin Fengmian was struck by lightning, flying backwards and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Senior Brother!”
Xia Yunxi rushed over in a panic and supported Lin Fengmian, worriedly asking, “Are you okay?”
Lin Fengmian stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and glared defiantly at Shangguan Yuqiong.
“If you have the ability, kill me, but don’t touch Yunxi!”
Shangguan Yuqiong sneered disdainfully. “You have spirit but no strength, you are completely foolish!”
As she spoke, an invisible force grabbed Lin Fengmian’s neck and lifted him into the air.
His cultivation was instantly suppressed, and he began to suffocate, struggling futilely.
He never expected that this madwoman would go to such lengths just to kill him.
What a madwoman!
But considering that the other party seemed to be a real madman, everything suddenly made sense.
If I had only known this earlier, I would have fought Zhao Ningzhi on the way here instead of waiting to be slaughtered here.
“Master, please spare Senior Brother. It’s all my fault, it has nothing to do with him,” Xia Yunxi said, her voice trembling with tears.
Shangguan Yuqiong’s voice was icy cold. “Yunxi, you really let me down!”
“I’ll give you a choice: either practice dual cultivation with others in front of him, or kill him!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian struggled desperately and began to form hand seals to release the power within the Twin Fish Pendant to fight this madwoman.
But with his spiritual energy restrained, he couldn’t activate the power within the pendant at all.
Zhao Ningzhi’s face changed slightly and she said, “Senior Sister Shangguan, isn’t this a bit too much-“
“Shut up! This is not your place to speak!” Shangguan Yuqiong said coldly.
“Yunxi, make your choice!”
Xia Yunxi was completely stunned, then she looked at Lin Fengmian with a sad expression.
Even though Lin Fengmian couldn’t speak, the meaning in his eyes was clear.
I would rather die than see you suffer such humiliation!
Xia Yunxi understood his meaning and said, her voice trembling with tears, “Master, I refuse both!”
“Master, if you force me to do this, I will die with Senior Brother. If he dies, then I will not live either!”
Shangguan Yuqiong’s face was icy cold, but she gave a cold laugh. “Fine, you have spirit. I will grant your wish!”
Suddenly, she released her hold on Lin Fengmian, and he fell to the ground. Xia Yunxi quickly ran over to help him up.
“Senior Brother, are you okay?”
Lin Fengmian shook his head and gasped for breath. As his cultivation recovered, he quickly formed hand seals.
Luo Xue killed Elder Xie with half a sword energy. The other half could at least wound this woman, even if it couldn’t kill her.
At that moment, a long sword plunged into the ground in front of Lin Fengmian and Xia Yunxi, and Shangguan Yuqiong’s cold voice echoed.
“Today, only one of you can leave this hall alive. Choose for yourself!”
Xia Yunxi quickly said, “Disciple is willing to trade my life for Senior Brother’s. I beg the master to spare him!”
Shangguan Yuqiong let out a cold snort and said icily, “Lin Fengmian, if you kill this reckless girl, I will only cripple your cultivation, leaving you a dog’s life.”
Lin Fengmian looked at the sword in front of him, slowly reaching out to grasp it. A hint of contempt flashed in Shangguan Yuqiong’s eyes.
But in the next moment, Lin Fengmian firmly grasped the sword and angrily slashed it out.
“I will spare you a dog’s life, now die for me!”
A terrifying frost enveloped the surroundings, and a fierce sword aura erupted. A thousand-year-old sword shot out from the twin fish pendant, displaying the power it once held.
The frost enveloped all sides, trapping Shangguan Yuqiong. The fierce sword aura tore through everything and headed straight for her.
The cold mist instantly exploded, enveloping the entire hall, making it impossible to see one’s hand in front of one’s face, and even hindering divine consciousness.
But soon, the frost began to dissipate. Shangguan Yuqiong raised her pale hand, gathering the frost within a certain range and blocking the sword.
However, a moment later, her expression changed slightly as she lifted her hand to see it frozen and turning blue, with droplets of blood sliding down.
She suddenly broke into a bright smile and giggled, “Quite interesting!”
The power of this sword strike was not strong, only at the level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but the sword aura and the coldness it contained were extremely tenacious.
Especially the sword aura, which carried a sense of ripping through the heavens, made her shiver.
Luo Xue had originally given this sword to Lin Fengmian to use against Foundation Establishment stage Liu Mei, so it did not contain any overly powerful techniques.
After a thousand years of wear and tear, it still retained the power of the Nascent Soul Realm, which was quite formidable.
Without looking at the result of his sword strike, Lin Fengmian grabbed Xia Yunxi and prepared to make a run for it.
Zhao Ningzhi was nearby, watching as he ran out, but did not stop him.
The next moment, the door slammed shut and Shangguan Yuqiong’s playful voice echoed.
“Little guy, can you really escape from me?”
Lin Fengmian, as if facing a great enemy, protected Xia Yunxi behind him and looked at Shangguan Yuqiong with a sharp gaze.
Shangguan Yuqiong saw his expression and asked with a smile, “Boy, do you have any more tricks? Why not show them to me?”
At this moment, she was beaming, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor, her eyes exuding a bewitching allure that stirred primal impulses in those who looked at her.
Although she was still the same person, she now exuded an extreme sense of duality.
However, when Zhao Ningzhi saw Shangguan Yuqiong in this state, she seemed to relax, no longer as tense as before.
