Tang Ruowei practiced her movement technique, her body continuously shuttling through the earth. Pei Qing sneered coldly and raised his hand. After a bit of searching, she arrived at the valley where Zuo Yanfei was locked in a fierce battle with Pei Dao and Pei Shan. Just at that moment, a surge of energy erupted from within the valley, sending Pei Dao and Pei Shan flying.
The girl felt wronged, yet her True Qi did not cease, propelling her forward as she escaped. Zuo Yanfei nodded at Tang Ruowei with a smile and then turned to the two men, pressing them, “You don’t want to surrender? Do you wish to continue fighting?”
In the next moment, there was a violent explosion at the spot. Pei Qing coldly laughed and raised his hand. A black sword light attacked once more, but Pei Qing clasped his fists together, green spirit radiance blocking the Kun Spirit Sword that kept pressing forward. She could sense a Void Pill level cultivator was furiously chasing behind her.
Why should I act according to your moods? My mood isn’t good either! Who do you think you are? You’re only relying on sheer numbers and distant authority to bully me and Sister Zuo!
Pei Qing said coldly, “The art of a stubborn donkey—”
…
Zuo Yanfei once again turned to Tang Ruowei, smiled, and then pressed the two men, “If you don’t surrender, do you still want to keep fighting?” Why should I care? I said that if I act, someone will die. You wouldn’t believe me, and now when the dead show up, you blame me.
Countless emerald vines began to entwine and slowly crawled out of a deep pit in the ground. Behind these vines, even more vines crawled over the ground, covering the hills and valleys in a dense mass.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Tang Ruowei decided to stop her earth evasion, burrowing out from the ground to stand still. Pei Qing soon followed on his flying sword, seeing Tang Ruowei standing with her back to him, he sneered, “Hmph, aren’t you running away?”
“I already told you, this trick is useless against me!” The girl felt wronged, but her True Qi did not stop, propelling her forward continually.
“Eh? How are you still alive? Truly worthy of being at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, a Void Pill level cultivator.”
“Is that so?” Tang Ruowei shook her head. Why should I act according to your moods? My mood isn’t good either! To be frank, who do you think you are? Just relying on sheer numbers, bullying me and Sister Zuo!
Actually, using the escape technique taught by Bai Qiuran, it would have been easy to escape from a nobody like you at the Void Pill level. But Tang Ruowei had some thoughts in mind, so she intentionally slowed down, allowing Pei Qing to catch up.
“Oh.” A flicker of relief and resignation appeared in Pei Qing's eyes. He relaxed entirely, ceasing to exert effort. Tang Ruowei took a moment to glance at them and added, “If you're hoping your master or your fellow disciples will come to rescue you, you might as well give that up now. I’ll tell you the truth, my master is nearby, and he’s definitely not someone who can be faced by a couple of Golden Pill cultivators.”
Why should I care? I said that if I act, someone will die. You wouldn’t believe me, and now when the dead show up, you blame me. Tang Ruowei spoke as she stabbed the Kun Spirit Sword into Pei Qing’s throat.
Pei Dao gasped and cursed, “Is this how the Five Leaders of the Righteous Dao Alliance behave? Even the War Gods are like this. They call themselves the Azure Nether Sword Sect, the best in individual combat…”
Tang Ruowei ignored him, pulling the Kun Spirit Sword back, and once again she stabbed out with the same sword technique. She concentrated her strength in one hand, her boundless palm force pushing the Kun Spirit Sword, breaking through Pei Qing's defense and stabbing deeply into his chest, the magnetic force instantly shattering the organs of this Void Pill cultivator.
After searching, she arrived at the valley where Zuo Yanfei was battling, seeing the wave of energy that erupted, sending Pei Dao and Pei Shan flying.
“Look at my sword!” Tang Ruowei thought for a moment and then pointed to a nearby mountain and said, “I buried him on that mountain.”
The ground under her palm was smashed into a pit over two meters long and more than one meter wide. The girl approached Pei Qing's lifeless body, lifted him effortlessly, and tossed him into the pit. Then, she used her magnetic force to manipulate the surrounding earth and stone, constructing a modest grave over the pit.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Tang Ruowei decided to stop her earth evasion, burrowing out from the ground to stand still.
She turned and asked Pei Qing, “In terms of sect, I am the strongest disciple of the Azure Nether Sword Sect; in terms of treasures, I possess the finest flying sword forged for me by my master; in cultivation, I practice top-tier skills with the mightiest techniques learned; as for aptitude, I have a Wood-Attribute Spiritual Root; right or wrong, I protect the lives of the innocent, while you scheme and slander, ignoring my warnings too, and it was you who struck first...
Why should I run? You should be the ones running!”
The black sword light struck again, and Pei Qing clenched his fists, green spirit radiance blocking the ever-advancing Kun Spirit Sword. After completing everything, Tang Ruowei clapped her hands and stood up.
Pei Qing bled from all seven openings in his face, staring at Tang Ruowei with a mix of terror and unwillingness, but he was already breathing more out than in. I did say that if I acted, you'd die. You refused to believe me, and now you're blaming me for this.
“Eh? You’re not dead? Truly worthy of the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, a Void Pill level cultivator.” Tang Ruowei's palm surged with unmatched force, driving the Kun Spirit Sword which instantly broke through Pei Qing's defense, piercing him through.
Tang Ruowei noticed that she couldn’t help but knead her forehead. “The well-fed don’t know the hunger of the starving.” The endless emerald vines twining together seemed to rise from somewhere, slowly retracting from a large pit on the ground.
“Hmm, just hand over the treasure,” she said.
…
Tang Ruowei thought about what to say and pointed again, “I buried him over there on that mountain.”
A fierce explosion erupted next to them. It startled the two disciples of the Moon-Worshiping Sect, and Pei Dao gasped, “Why are you here, where are Pei Yuan and Brother Pei Qing?”
While pondering her course of action, Tang Ruowei practiced her earth evasion technique, continuously chasing in there direction of Zuo Yanfei, intermittently stopping and using her True Qi senses and the tracing techniques Zuo Yanfei had just taught her, barely managing to locate Zuo Yanfei and the other two’s tracks.
Pei Dao and Pei Shan looked at each other before Pei Shan raised both hands and said, “Ladies, we surrender.”
“Litter of bamboos!” Tang Ruowei chuckled, looking over at them with some envy at Zuo Yanfei’s grand figure.
“You've done well,” Zuo Yanfei said, stepping forward, her eyes fierce with fighting spirit like a goddess of war, having her own armor torn apart to reveal ample white skin that only made Tang Ruowei more envious.
“I should go looking for Sister Zuo first; she is fighting with two people, and their attributes might clash; her fight might not be easier than mine.”
After a while, she thought about it, she decided to go look for Zuo Yanfei.
Pei Qing temporarily relaxed, “Then… I’ve avoided many troubles; you killed Bei Shan and Bei Yuan without any price to pay, how can I let you go scot-free?”
“Hello there,” she said, treating their surrender along with her own place.
When the situation unfolded in the valley below, a wave of energy erupted from within; Pei Dao and Pei Shan were both sent flying from the battle.
Zuo Yanfei drew a sword and shouted, “Watch this!”
