"You have no idea how long I have waited for this mont, Master Tian!" Xiao ilin laughed chaotically as she swung her sword rcilessly, despite the difference in their cultivation.
"You're really enjoying yourself, aren't you?" Yuan remarked with a stiff smile on his face.
For so reason, he didn't feel the need to tell her to stop attacking him, almost as if he knew that it would be pointless and that the only way for her to stop was to satisfy her.
anwhile, Leader Yang and the others were left speechless by the unexpected situation.
"Why are they fighting? I thought they were friends?"
"You idiot, look at the Crimson Empress' face! I have never seen her smile before, yet she's smiling from ear to ear right now!"
"Y-You're right! Good lord, who is that man?!" The n there couldn't help but feel smitten by Xiao ilin at this mont, even though they were terrified of her just monts ago, and it was caused by a single smile.
As for Yuan, he was barely just strong enough to fight Xiao ilin without being completely overpowered.
Xiao ilin was at the ninth level of God Ascension, essentially the peak of the cultivation world. Moreover, unlike the other cultivators, she possessed an abundance of spiritual energy in her Dantian, allowing her to fight without restraint.
Of course, she wasn't using Celestial Qi, or Yuan wouldn't stand a chance even with Eternal Essence.
A minute… ten minutes… an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
As Yuan continued fighting Xiao ilin, his mories of the Asura Clan started to resurface, such as their first encounter, how they started as enemies but ended as allies, and his relationship with Xiao ilin and the other mbers.
Noticing a profound flicker in Yuan's eyes, Xiao ilin remarked, "You dare think about other things while clashing swords with ? That arrogance—you haven't changed one bit since we last t during the Primordial Era!"
Yuan smiled and said, "I can say the sa to you. Don't tell you've spent your ti in this place cultivating?"
"Isn't that obvious? There's nothing else to do in this shithole besides cultivating."
"You were only at the second level of God Ascension the last ti I saw you. To reach the ninth level while stuck in this place… very impressive."
Xiao ilin chuckled as she swung her sword, "You, on the other hand, have gotten a lot weaker."
"Are you disappointed?"
"..."
After several exchanges in silence, Xiao ilin responded with a sadistic grin on her beautiful face, "Seeing you weaker than … it's actually very exciting."
Xiao ilin's expression sent chills down Yuan's spine. "It won't stay like this for long," he quickly said.
"Then I should take advantage of this mont while I still can," she said while licking her lips.
The next mont, Xiao ilin's prowess skyrocketed, and she started pushing back Yuan with seemingly no effort.
Even when using nearly every trick he had, Yuan still found himself completely overwheld by Xiao ilin's prowess.
'Not only is she not using her Celestial Qi, but even her weapon is lacking! Yet, she's overpowering to such an extent!' Yuan couldn't help but smile despite the situation.
If Xiao ilin were released to the outside world and upgraded her weapon, who knows how much more of a monster she would beco?
After being tossed around by Xiao ilin for several more hours, Yuan finally said, "Alright, how much longer do you intend to ss around? I need to speak to your father. It's about Xiao Hua."
Xiao ilin stopped her movents and lowered her sword.
"My junior sister? Now that you ntioned her, where is she? Did you not co here with her?" she said as she looked around.
"She's currently in my Dantian, but she cannot co out due to reasons."
Xiao ilin narrowed her eyes slightly and mumbled, "Could it be… did it already start?"
"What do you an?" Yuan asked after hearing this.
Xiao ilin shook her head and said, "I'll let father explain it to you instead. I'll take you to him now."
"Alright." Yuan nodded as he stowed away his weapon.
"Ah, right. Before we leave…" Xiao ilin's expression suddenly hardened as her cold gaze swept over Sect Leader Zu and the others. "What should we do with them? Want to kill them all?"
Despite Xiao ilin not paying attention to them, none of them dared to leave the scene. After all, even if they snuck away, they would never be able to truly escape.
"Have rcy!" Sect Leader Zu, who was still in his soul form, pleaded. However, Yuan remained indifferent as he commanded, "Kill them all."
"As you wish."
Imnse killing intent erupted from Xiao ilin the next instant, her body shrouded in a crimson aura that bled into the air, saturating the atmosphere with malice.
As Xiao ilin raised her sword, every mber of the Chaotic Sect instinctively turned to flee. But before they could escape, she brought her blade down in a single, fluid motion. In the blink of an eye, the air split—and so did they, their bodies torn apart into countless pieces all at once.
'Power of the Void!' To Yuan's astonishnt, Xiao ilin was wielding the Power of the Void, an ability so rare that few cultivators could even comprehend it, let alone command it to such a degree, and although slightly, her understanding surpassed even his.
"What do you think?" Xiao ilin asked, turning to Yuan with a faint flicker in her eyes, as though expecting his praise after annihilating the Chaotic Sect.
"Where'd you learn to wield the Power of the Void?" he asked.
"I comprehended it through studying Spiritual Rifts," she calmly responded.
"Seriously? How long did that take?"
"Longer than it took to reach the ninth level of God Ascension."
"I see…"
"Ready to leave?" Xiao ilin then asked.
"Yes—Actually, hold on."
Yuan nearly forgot about Mu Xuelian and went to fetch her.
"Who's that?" Xiao ilin asked, her eyes narrowing in suspicion as they fell upon Mu Xuelian.
