"Make way!" Yan Yuqing's eyes were bloodshot. His heart held only one thought: to kill this heinous woman before him and avenge Du Gu Man!
"You are not allowed to harm A'Man!" Du Gu Luo stood in front of Yan Yuqing.
"She is not your sister at all; she is a fake!" Yan Yuqing restrained Dongfang Wei, "Do you know? She is the one who paid people to desecrate your sister's corpse!"
Du Gu Luo remained unmoved, stubbornly blocking Xiao Man's path. Xiao Man frowned, "Who told you I desecrated Du Gu Man's corpse?"
"Yu Qianmo told me. He personally heard you say you paid a hefty sum to Tian Ji Ge to help you destroy Du Gu Man's corpse!"
Yu Qianmo! Xiao Man swallowed the bitter taste in her mouth. Did that scoundrel feel uneasy if he didn't scheme against her for a day?
"I admit, I was the one who desecrated her corpse, but I did not kill her!"
"Murong Sheng Rui did not let her rest in peace in life, and you won't let her rest in peace in death. The sin is equally unforgivable!" Yan Yuqing gritted his teeth. "You must die!"
"A'Man, you go first." Du Gu Luo blocked Yan Yuqing.
Xiao Man gritted her teeth. "Alright, you two be careful."
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Several figures in black leaped out. Xiao Man abruptly halted her steps. She almost charged at them with her saber!
"Bastard! The dignified Demon Sect Leader actually brought people to kill a nobody like me!" Xiao Man inwardly cursed. She sent out a distress signal, "Yu Qianmo, don't let me escape this ordeal. If I survive, I will make your life a living hell. You scoundrel!"
Crimson fireworks shot into the sky, blooming into vibrant blossoms. The people in the city, seeing the signal in the sky, those hidden among the crowds, quietly stirred and headed towards the direction of the fireworks.
The Tian Gan Sword hummed. Ying Xue found it strange. She opened the box, and the Tian Gan Sword flew straight out. Ying Xue was shocked and immediately led her people in pursuit.
Xiao Man was in a sorry state under the siege of the Demon Palace assassins. She lacked a suitable weapon, and her cultivation had greatly diminished. Fortunately, when she left Bai Hua Ge, Mo Mo had given her many hidden weapons. Otherwise, she would have already become a victim of their blades!
But even with so many hidden weapons, they couldn't withstand such a large-scale encirclement. No matter how many hidden weapons she had, they would eventually run out. Ironically, Yan Yuqing was like a madman, bringing many people to kill her!
Nangong Cheng's "crow's mouth" was truly accurate. One moment he was being attacked by the common people, and the next, it was her turn. She was also an evil person. Could the sins she committed not be repaid even with her death?
The Tian Gan Sword descended from the sky and stood before Xiao Man. Xiao Man reached out, gripped the Tian Gan, and a cold sneer curved her lips. Blood dripped onto the sword and was completely absorbed. Xiao Man's aura slowly changed, her eyes turned as black as ink, and a sinister aura coiled around her, sending chills down one's spine.
Du Gu Luo and Dongfang Wei, fighting together, were no match for Yan Yuqing. Yan Yuqing glanced at the sword in Xiao Man's hand with disdain. "You don't deserve to use her sword. Come again!"
Xiao Man moved. Her figure was like a phantom. Wherever she went, her sharp sword pierced flesh, and blood splattered. At this moment, Xiao Man was like a ruthless killing machine. The master she respected wanted to kill her, the child she raised wanted to kill her. After her rebirth, she was constantly constrained, chased and killed every other day. Her former subordinates wanted to kill her, and her former friends also wanted to kill her. She had had enough!
Her life, though brief, was filled with bloodshed. Yet, she felt she had wronged no one. For a promise, she gave her all. For the stability of the court, she killed treacherous officials and removed powerful ministers. For the peace of Yun Qi, she fought on the battlefield, only to suffer the destruction of her entire clan and an ignominious end!
A thought arose in Xiao Man's mind: since everyone in the world has betrayed me, then I will destroy this world!
The glint of swords and flashes of blades, shadows moving with the wind, a fierce killing aura enveloped everyone. At this moment, Xiao Man seemed to have transformed into someone else.
Yan Yuqing's shock was beyond words. The berserk Xiao Man reminded him of Du Gu Man of the past!
Every move and every stance was a killing blow, with no superfluous movements, so practiced as if she had trained thousands upon thousands of times. Those moves were already ingrained in his bones. This person before him was Du Gu Man!
"Du Gu Luo, Dongfang Wei, help me!" Yan Yuqing was covered in blood. "Subdue her. If we let her continue to rampage, we will all die!"
"Do you think I'm an idiot? You want to sneak an attack when we subdue her!" Dongfang Wei spat out a mouthful of blood. He knew something was wrong with Xiao Man, but even their combined forces were no match for Yan Yuqing. This man was too strong. If anyone could be his opponent, it would likely be the Prince of Qin or the Grand Tutor in this imperial city!
"I swear, I will not harm her again. Please, help me!" Yan Yuqing pleaded. "You don't want anything to happen to her, do you?"
While Dongfang Wei hesitated, Du Gu Luo had already charged forward, but as soon as he got close, he was repelled by the energy swirling around Xiao Man and couldn't get near.
Xiao Man's black eyes reflected nothing. At this moment, she felt no pain and no fatigue, her killing intent alone sustaining her.
Dongfang Wei eventually chose to join in. The experts from the Demon Palace had already been annihilated, and Yan Yuqing was seriously wounded. If Yan Yuqing fell and Xiao Man did not, given her current state, they would be the ones to die.
When reinforcements arrived, only Yan Yuqing was still struggling to hold on. Dongfang Wei and Du Gu Luo lay on the ground, covered in blood, their lives uncertain.
"Miss." Ying Xue rushed forward, but another figure dashed towards Xiao Man faster than her. Xiao Man seemed to sense the approaching threat and unhesitatingly thrust her sword towards the newcomer.
Several experts arrived. Yan Yuqing knew that if he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to. He cast a deep look at Xiao Man, who was fighting fiercely. "Man Man, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. Please don't blame me when you wake up."
Several more figures joined the fray, yet even with their combined efforts, they couldn't control the berserk Xiao Man. Nangong Yu's face showed undisguised worry.
"Xiao Man, calm down!"
Qin Xue gritted her teeth. It hadn't been long since her mistress left Bai Hua Ge when she saw the distress signal. By the time she arrived, it had already become this. But who could control a berserk mistress?
Qin Xue felt a hint of despair. If Xiao Man couldn't be controlled, there was only one outcome: either Xiao Man would bleed to death, or she would kill everyone and die of exhaustion, ultimately escaping death was impossible!
Numerous experts joined forces to try and subdue Xiao Man, but they all failed miserably. Instead, they were all wounded by Xiao Man. Even Qin Xue lost the strength to resist.
"Miss, please calm down!" Qin Xue shouted anxiously.
However, Xiao Man could hear nothing. Her sword, as if alive, guided Xiao Man, killing, killing, killing all those who had betrayed her in this world.
