"Courtesan?"
Seeing that Chu Lingwei was dying, but still thinking about the courtesan, Madam Hong couldn't help but laugh, "You really are a child with a heavy curiosity."
"If you want to know, then go to hell and see," Madam Hong said, her voice turning cold. Streams of spiritual energy pressed down on Chu Lingwei.
Chu Lingwei was prepared. She deftly dodged to the side, and the purple bell in her hand flew out, blocking Madam Hong's spiritual energy.
"How is that possible?"
Madam Hong watched in disbelief as Chu Lingwei broke free, her eyes widening. Her immobilization technique had never been broken before, not even by a supreme realm expert.
How did she manage it?
Chu Lingwei sneered. The string of bells in her hand was a divine-grade artifact from the spatial dimension. The stronger it was, the stronger it became, and it never failed.
"Madam Hong, is it? Then let me show you the power of a cultivator in the Spirit Wheel Realm."
As Chu Lingwei spoke, streaks of high-level talismans appeared in the cave, trapping Madam Hong firmly within.
After wasting so much time talking, she wouldn't do nothing.
Feng Ming jumped out of the spirit beast bag and unleashed a torrent of Netherfire at Madam Hong.
Xuantian Blazing Fire.
Chu Lingwei channeled her spiritual energy. Since Madam Hong was so powerful, she had no need to hold back. It was best to strike with one decisive blow.
"Do you think your mere formations can trap me? What a joke." Madam Hong laughed heartily. The high-level formations surrounding her were child's play. With a mere wave of her hand, they would dissipate.
"Unfortunately, you are too arrogant."
Just as Madam Hong was about to unleash her spiritual energy towards the formations, Chu Lingwei's Xuantian Blazing Fire directly struck her body, sending her flying.
"Now!"
Chu Lingwei shouted at Feng Ming. Her Ice Jade Frost Sword pierced towards Madam Hong's brow. Coupled with Feng Ming's Netherfire, Madam Hong, even in the supreme realm, would not be able to withstand it.
Because any spiritual energy she unleashed would be returned to her body without fail.
"Pfft!"
Madam Hong spat out a mouthful of blood in disbelief, staring blankly at Chu Lingwei, who was already within arm's reach. Someone could actually touch her.
And it was just a mere Spirit Wheel Realm cultivator.
"I will kill you."
Madam Hong roared, her body suddenly glowing red. Strange talismans appeared on her body, blinding Chu Lingwei, forcing her to retreat.
"What is this?!"
Chu Lingwei refused to believe it. She didn't know what Madam Hong was doing, but she was certain she couldn't let her complete the curse.
She channeled Xuantian Blazing Fire again, channeling all her spiritual energy into the Ice Jade Frost Sword and thrusting it towards Madam Hong.
Bang!
The Ice Jade Frost Sword pierced into the red light surrounding Madam Hong, only to stop an inch short.
"Do you really think this broken sword can hurt me?" Madam Hong slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, her surroundings blazed with red light, and the throne beneath her had turned to ashes.
"Weiwei, don't let her get close," Feng Ming shielded Chu Lingwei, continuously spitting Netherfire at Madam Hong, but it was all repelled.
Chu Lingwei controlled the Ice Jade Frost Sword, trying to exert more force. However, no matter how hard she tried, the sword seemed frozen in mid-air, unable to move an inch.
This situation was untenable.
Chu Lingwei's gaze darkened. Spatial power—it was time to try.
"Hahaha, Bei Chenfeng, I never imagined your disciple would die by my hand," Madam Hong suddenly threw her head back and laughed, her voice filled with triumph.
She held a grudge against her master.
Chu Lingwei closed her eyes and cast a barrier, sealing off the cave.
"Who dies by whose hand is yet to be determined," Chu Lingwei shouted, her Nine Heavens Nine Forms, spatial power mingled with spiritual energy, merging her with the Ice Jade Frost Sword.
Where the sword goes, I go; where I go, the sword follows.
Chu Lingwei closed her eyes, pushed Feng Ming aside, and her body shot forward like a rainbow towards the Ice Jade Frost Sword.
"You court death."
Madam Hong understood Chu Lingwei's intention. To kill her was pure fantasy.
Chu Lingwei, wielding the Ice Jade Frost Sword, became one with it, pouring all her spiritual energy into a heavy thrust towards Madam Hong's dantian.
"Bang."
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Red light exploded, the Ice Jade Frost Sword flew out, and both Chu Lingwei and Madam Hong were flung backward.
"Feng Ming, quickly!"
Chu Lingwei saw the Ice Jade Frost Sword pierce Madam Hong's body and shouted at Feng Ming. Her head throbbed, and her vision went black.
"Weiwei..."
Huan Mao from within the spatial dimension cried out. He wanted to rush out but was powerless.
Chu Lingwei could hear none of their calls.
Leng Xingzhi caught Chu Lingwei steadily in his arms. Looking at her blood-soaked, pale face, killing intent flared in his eyes, casting a chilling wind throughout the cave.
"Dare to touch Weiwei, you die."
Madam Hong's eyes widened, unable to move. She watched as her soul gradually dissipated.
She didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.
Jinyang City was instantly shrouded in darkness, and everyone was in fear for their lives.
An Tao's eyes widened as she watched the sky turn black. She quickly looked towards the mountains. Suddenly, her body lost strength, and she collapsed to the ground.
Three days later.
Chu Lingwei's eyes fluttered open. She found herself lying on a luxurious bed, a faint fragrance filling the air.
"Little junior sister, you're awake."
Leng Xingzhi entered with a bowl of congee, a faint smile on his face. He walked to the bedside, placed the congee down, and sat by the bed.
"What, you don't even recognize your eldest senior brother?"
"Eldest senior brother, why are you here?" Chu Lingwei was surprised to see her eldest senior brother. Hadn't he returned to the Cultivation Academy?
Leng Xingzhi reached out and lightly tapped Chu Lingwei's forehead. "With a little junior sister who loves to get into trouble, what choice do I have?"
Chu Lingwei cried out in pain, clutching her forehead. She then realized that even a simple movement like raising her hand was difficult.
"Eldest senior brother, I'm injured."
"If I had arrived any later, your meridians would have been completely shattered." Leng Xingzhi's voice turned cold as he looked at his junior sister. To forcibly activate the Ice Jade Frost Sword was suicidal.
"It shouldn't be that serious, right?" Chu Lingwei gave a sheepish smile, afraid to meet her eldest senior brother's eyes. When her eldest senior brother became serious, he was a bit frightening.
Leng Xingzhi snorted. "If I had known this would happen, I should have let little junior sister taste the feeling of shattered meridians."
"Oh, no, no, no." Chu Lingwei ingratiatingly grabbed Leng Xingzhi's arm, a wide smile on her face. "No, I'm afraid of pain, so let's not."
Seeing Chu Lingwei's pale face, Leng Xingzhi couldn't bear to scold her further. "Here, drink the spirit congee."
"Oh." Chu Lingwei raised her hand to take it but was dodged by Leng Xingzhi.
