The scene that had just unfolded was too shocking for words. Green Concubine and Guan Yang, both at Heaven Rank, didnât even withstand a single move in Beiting Huangâs hands. Beiting Huangâs sudden attack was unexpected, but with a mere gesture, she brought down two Heaven Rank opponents, a display of strength that was enough to shake the entire Central Continent.
As Beiting Huang, holding the Heavenly Halberd in her hand, slowly turned around and walked toward the rippling reflection that revealed Ming Xiu, everyone, despite seeing only the flames engulfing the weapon made from energy, abruptly narrowed their eyes in a sharp contraction, as if they saw blood dripping down from the halberd.
Ming Xiu, too, turned around to face Beiting Huang. The ripple of light changed direction, and Beiting Huang stopped three steps away from it. At that moment, every single person in Yan City and Huang City held their breath for him.
If Ming Xiu were to strike⦠it seemed Beiting Huang couldnât care less. She lifted the Heavenly Halberd, its tip stopping just an inch from Ming Xiuâs face. Her icy eyes stared fixedly at Ming Xiu, âHe left, so you stay!â
Ming Xiu was overjoyed at that moment, his countenance filled with immense excitement, and he even reached out, attempting to touch Beiting Huang through the waterâs light reflection, âLittle Ninth, youâ¦â
But when everyone heard what Beiting Huang had said, they couldnât shake off a sense of unease. How could it be? How could the woman who wept before the entire Central Continent over her loverâs departure turn around and invite another man, even her nemesis, the very next moment?
Before Ming Xiu could finish his sentence, Beiting Huang slightly turned her head, as if even glancing at Ming Xiu was unbearable, and her gaze moved toward the center of the square, where the figure of Yan Ye was no longer present, âMing Xiu, I, Beiting Huang, swear once again that one day, I will lead a grand army, storm the Spirit God Clan, and flatten the entire clan to the ground!â
âLittle Ninth, I know Iâve hurt you and owed you apologies, but you should understand, you were once the princess of the Western Wilderness, and many decisions were made after discussions between the emperor of the Western Wilderness and my father. You may have reasons to blame the Spirit God Clan, but it wasnât solely our wish. This includes⦠marrying your sister Xi Feng,â Ming Xiu tried to reason, hoping to receive Beiting Huangâs forgiveness.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat does that have to do with me?â Beiting Huang said with a smirk, as if speaking with Yan Ye, âAll I know is that I want you dead, and I donât need any other reason!â
After she spoke, she raised the Heavenly Halberd high, turned her head to look at Ming Xiu, and declared loudly, âMing Xiu, strike now. Iâve heard you are strong. To fight a formidable opponent, I want a fair and square battle with you!â
But Ming Xiu slowly shook his head, gazing at her with anguish, âNo, Little Ninth, I will not fight you. If you wish to kill, then kill. You know this isnât my true form but merely an energy projection. Even if you destroyed it, it wouldnât harm me much!â
How are they supposed to fight? Seen shameless, but never this shameless. After causing harm, the person wanting to retaliate is met with refusal. Everybody sympathized with Beiting Huang, yet she nodded seriously, âVery well!â
âLittle Ninth!â Lord Beiting Jing flew over to Beiting Huang and grabbed her, âLittle Ninth, let your big brother take action!â
