"As long as she is alive, I will find her!" Xiao Man said unhurriedly, "And you, you must die!"
Xiao Man drew her sword and charged forward. Nangong Yu and Lu Qing were responsible for guarding the flanks, preventing Feng Moran from escaping. Feng Moran’s expression became extremely ferocious when he saw Xiao Man daring to charge at him.
"A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to contend with a Nascent Soul cultivator, overestimating yourself!"
"I've killed plenty of Nascent Soul cultivators, you're just one more!" Xiao Man said fiercely. Her life had been schemed against by this man from the very beginning. He had spared neither her affections nor her friends. She hated the mastermind behind it all, and even more, she hated Feng Moran!
Feng Moran quickly took out a pill and swallowed it. The injury to his dantian was not to be underestimated. Although his Nascent Soul was not directly harmed, it still left him somewhat lacking in strength. He had not expected, however, that after swallowing the pill, it would be of no use whatsoever.
"My weapon always has something extra on it." Xiao Man lunged forward, her short sword aimed directly at Feng Moran's throat. "Knowing your cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, how could I be careless?"
"I had almost forgotten, you excel at using poison!"
"My good master, my blade is coated with a poison specifically designed to deal with cultivators of your high cultivation. Otherwise, do you think I could kill cultivators stronger than myself?"
"If you want to kill me, you'll have to show your ability!" Feng Moran repelled Xiao Man and headed straight for Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu was the easiest to break through among the group. If he could capture Nangong Yu, he could control Xiao Man, and Xiao Man wouldn't dare to act, nor would the other person.
Nangong Yu sneered as he watched Feng Moran charge at him and met the attack. In less than fifty exchanges, Feng Moran gained no advantage.
"Why has your cultivation increased so rapidly?"
"With more experiences, one's cultivation naturally increases quickly. This is all thanks to you!" Nangong Yu said coldly, "Today, I will repay all your past deeds!" Sudanshuwang
"A'yu, I'll help you." Xiao Man didn't feel anything wrong with a two-on-one fight. When it came to Feng Moran, there was no need for chivalry.
"Nangong Yu, are you truly reconciled?" Feng Moran found it difficult to deal with the combined assault of two people, not to mention Lu Qing watching ominously from the side, ready to strike if he showed any weakness.
"Killing you would make me reconciled."
"Killing me, are you truly reconciled?" Feng Moran grabbed Nangong Yu's sword with one hand and Xiao Man's wrist with the other, flinging her away. "The woman you love chose another man and bore him a child. Are you truly reconciled?"
Nangong Yu loosened his grip, the sword in his right hand transferred to his left, and he thrust it back. What use was it to be unreconciled? Even if unreconciled, he couldn't compete with a dead person. Unreconciled, it was also his choice. Between empire and beauty, he chose the empire, yet he was unwilling to only obtain the empire, hence the situation today.
"Xiao Man, why don't you tell Nangong Yu, who you truly love?"
"I love many people, but you are definitely not among them!" Xiao Man's expression was calm. She never regretted her choices. Nangong Yu chose the world, and she also chose the world. They were ultimately the same kind of people, so they made the same choice. The only thing she regretted was unknowingly causing Wen Mohan's death.
"As expected of my disciple, you can remain unmoved even when facing your former beloved."
"As expected of the most despicable in the world. You killed everyone around you, and what did you gain in the end?" Xiao Man tightened her grip on the Heavenly Inquiry sword. "Master and disciple at odds, lord and servant estranged, all relationships broken, yet you still don't know what you want."
"What I want is supreme power, and it has been so from the very beginning."
"Is that so?" Xiao Man scoffed. "Are you planning to use the methods you once used against me to deal with your current master?"
"Master?" Feng Moran narrowed his eyes. "I, Feng Moran, have no master!"
"You are clearly a obedient dog, yet you dare not acknowledge your master." Xiao Man's tone was full of mockery. "If your master knew, would he break your legs?"
"Man'er, he probably won't have a chance to return to his master's side to beg for scraps!" Nangong Yu instantly shot out several hidden weapons, which Feng Moran couldn't evade. What's more, Xiao Man was not one to play fair. While Nangong Yu was launching his hidden weapons, she didn't fall behind.
"Girl, your master never taught you to be so shameless!"
"Master, you taught me by example! You taught me to be shameless, despicable, ruthless, and wicked!" Xiao Man attacked again, her sword strikes aimed precisely at vital points, showing no mercy.
"Well said, ruthless and wicked!" Lu Qing joined the fray. "Such a person deserves to die!"
Under the围攻 of the three, Feng Moran was quite pathetic. He had thought that with his cultivation, he could at least swagger around. After all, besides noble families and sects, where else could one find Nascent Soul experts? Who knew that while there were no Nascent Soul experts, there were monsters he had personally nurtured, and one of them was an even greater monster!
"Xiao Man, do you truly intend to kill me?"
"My desire to kill you has never changed!" Xiao Man thrust her sword into Feng Moran's chest. "This is for my father and mother!"
Feng Moran struck at Xiao Man with his palm, but Nangong Yu deflected it. Xiao Man pulled out her sword and thrust again, this time into Feng Moran's thigh. "This sword is what you owe Yunqi Tianxia!"
Feng Moran's face turned green. Was Yunqi Tianxia nothing more than this in her eyes?
Xiao Man pulled out her sword and thrust again and again. "This sword is for my father, this sword is for my husband, this sword is for A'yu, and this last sword is for me!"
Nangong Yu and Lu Qing restrained Feng Moran. Xiao Man's sword, without hesitation, pierced Feng Moran's dantian. "I will not give you any chance to escape. Nine Nether, Soul Annihilation!"
"Xiao Man!" At this instant, Feng Moran felt a chill down his spine, and for the first time, he felt fear and regret. He regretted not killing Xiao Man ruthlessly when she subdued the Nine Nether Fire, and why he had coveted the Tongtian Tower, letting Xiao Man go time and time again!
"Disciple sees Master off, may you ascend to paradise quickly!" An ice-blue flame instantly enveloped Feng Moran. Although it emitted no heat, it caused Feng Moran excruciating pain.
"Xiao Man, you can't do this to me, you can't!"
"There is nothing I cannot do!" Xiao Man's face was cold, her expression stern. "For so many years, you have repeatedly hurt my family and hurt me. I will never give you another chance to harm those I care about!"
"It was all for you, it was all for you!" Feng Moran struggled desperately. "You carry..."
Xiao Man raised her sword and pierced Feng Moran's throat, severing all his words. Her eyes were as cold as ice, as if she already knew. Despair flashed in Feng Moran's eyes. He knew she knew!
