Chapter 215 - 196: Am I Going to Die Like This?

Qu Xiaotao stared at Yu Yunwei, the killing intent in her eyes growing thicker.

"Sister Qu, Brother Qin, I... I don’t need any of it." A thin mist veiled Yu Yunwei’s eyes. "You can have all the treasures. And I won’t say a word about what happened today!"

Hearing Yu Yunwei’s plea, Qu Xiaotao’s heart softened a little.

"Qin Hai, if we kill her, aren’t you afraid Blood Sin Peak will hold us accountable?"

Qu Xiaotao turned to face Qin Hai.

"You know that guy, Blood Demon, is a madman. Not to mention, she has a senior brother, and he’s not someone who listens to reason."

"Hehehehe..."

Qin Hai chuckled.

"Not listen to reason? Casualties are to be expected on missions away from the sect. If she dies in the belly of a Magical Beast, what does that have to do with us?

Besides, we’re the Demon Sect. Since Blood Sin Peak was established, its members have always been heartless and disloyal. They only care about themselves, when have they ever cared about anyone else?

And with Yu Yunwei dead, Xiao Mo will be the only disciple left on Blood Sin Peak. All the resources will be focused on him. He won’t have time to do anything but thank us."

"..."

After hearing Qin Hai’s argument, Qu Xiaotao became even more conflicted. The more she thought about it, the more sense it made.

Finally.

Qu Xiaotao took a deep breath, her mind made up. She turned around again, gripped her longsword tightly, and walked toward Yu Yunwei step by step.

"Sister Qu..."

Watching Qu Xiaotao approach her one step at a time, Yu Yunwei swallowed hard. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her innocent eyes filled with terror.

"Sister Qu, aren’t we friends?"

Yu Yunwei backed away slowly.

"Didn’t you want to meet my senior brother, Sister Qu?"

"Sister Qu... I really don’t want anything."

"Don’t kill me... Sister Qu..."

Yu Yunwei pleaded incessantly.

But in the end, Qu Xiaotao had already raised her longsword.

"Yunwei, don’t worry. I’ll make it quick."

As Qu Xiaotao’s words fell, her longsword swung down!

But just as Yu Yunwei was about to be cleaved in two, Qu Xiaotao’s longsword stopped, hovering in mid-air just an inch from her head. It didn’t move any closer.

"Junior Sister Qu, I never thought you were so kind. A junior sister like you really doesn’t belong in the Wandao Sect. You should have gone to one of those Renowned and Righteous Sects."

Qin Hai chuckled, gripping his longsword as he walked toward Yu Yunwei.

"Fine. Since Junior Sister won’t do it, I will."

But just as Qin Hai came within ten feet of Qu Xiaotao, she suddenly spun around and slashed at him.

Qin Hai reacted instantly, hastily parrying the blow!

"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"

The two longswords clashed repeatedly, sending sparks flying.

"Qu Xiaotao, what are you doing?!"

Qin Hai roared as he pulled back, suspecting she was teaming up with Yu Yunwei to kill him.

But he quickly realized he was wrong.

Something was wrong with Qu Xiaotao!

Her eyes were completely vacant, as if she were being controlled.

"You pieces of trash, coming to blows over such paltry things. How pathetic."

Yu Yunwei walked toward Qin Hai with a faint smile.

The terrified look in the girl’s eyes had vanished completely, replaced by a mocking glint, as if she didn’t even see him as a threat.

"You’re controlling her?" Qin Hai asked in disbelief.

Qu Xiaotao was a minor realm higher than her. How could she possibly be controlled in such a short time?

Besides, isn’t Blood Sin Peak known for its Saber Techniques?

’Wait... something’s not right.’

Qin Hai focused on the Spiritual Power she was emitting again.

She was actually at the Mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!

She had been hiding her true strength for the past few days!

"Compared to that dog of a senior brother of mine, you pieces of trash are much easier to control." Yu Yunwei smiled, looking directly into Qin Hai’s eyes.

’This is bad!’

Seeing two Daoist patterns appear in Yu Yunwei’s eyes, he felt a surge of dread. He tried to look away, but it was too late.

In an instant, Qin Hai felt his body freeze, unable to move.

"You two, strike at each other’s necks. I want to see whose neck is tougher." Yu Yunwei yawned, speaking nonchalantly.

At Yu Yunwei’s command, Qin Hai and Qu Xiaotao walked toward each other.

"No!"

"Don’t!"

"Junior Sister Yu, I was wrong! I don’t want anything anymore, I don’t want to die... From now on, I’m willing to be your dog, Junior Sister Yu..."

Qin Hai shouted, but his uncontrollable body had already raised its longsword.

Both of their longswords swung toward the other’s neck.

Blood sprayed through the air as two heads rolled onto the ground.

"Looks like neither of your necks was very tough."

Yu Yunwei picked up the Demon Core and glanced boredly at the headless corpses on the ground. ’They started it, so I had no choice. That dog of a senior brother probably won’t blame me, right?’

’Probably not~’

Having reached her conclusion, the girl produced a Talisman. After extinguishing their Divine Souls, she walked toward the Red Moon Fruit Tree to pick the fruit.

But just as she was about to fly up to the treetop, a giant snake appeared from nowhere and lunged, trying to swallow her whole.

Yu Yunwei barely dodged, landing on the ground and staring intently at the large brown snake.

"A Rock Python!"

Yu Yunwei’s brow furrowed.

This Rock Python was also a Sixth-Grade Magical Beast.

Yu Yunwei guessed that this was likely the Magical Beast that had been fighting the Mad Flame Baboon.

The Mad Flame Baboon hadn’t won; it had fled back to its lair because it was losing, and this Rock Python had chased it here!

Yu Yunwei was no fool. She knew she couldn’t win a direct fight and that her only choice was to flee.

But just as the thought crossed her mind, the Rock Python slammed its tail on the ground. The earth shook, and slabs of rock jutted up, blocking the mountain path before her.

Immediately after, rock began to encase Yu Yunwei’s feet.

’This is bad!’

The color drained from Yu Yunwei’s face.

’I was already injured from fighting the Mad Flame Baboon.’

’After using the Illusory Heaven Technique twice just now, I barely have any Spiritual Power left.’

’Now I’m really in trouble.’

"HISS!"

The Rock Python lunged to swallow Yu Yunwei again!

Yu Yunwei produced another Talisman, preparing for a desperate, last-ditch struggle.

A blast of lightning erupted from the Talisman and struck the Rock Python, but its advance only faltered for a moment.

’Am I going to die like this?’

Gazing at the gaping, bloody maw rushing toward her, the fear of death filled her heart.

Yu Yunwei’s eyes wavered, and her body couldn’t help but tremble as scenes from her life flashed through her mind.

’I still haven’t gotten my revenge on that dog of a senior brother...’

’I still haven’t become a Cultivator of the Upper Three Realms...’

Despair flooded Yu Yunwei’s heart. She didn’t want to die, but now all she could do was wait for death.

And just as Yu Yunwei was about to be swallowed...

A gentle breeze brushed against the girl’s cheek.

The girl’s pupils abruptly widened. A familiar back stood before her.

The boy was around the same age as the girl, only a year’s difference between them.

He was dressed in clean clothes.

In his hand, he held a dark green saber.

The boy drew his saber.

He raised his hand.

The saber fell.
