Suddenly, the woman in black performed a swordsmanship technique, dazzlingly swift and overwhelmingly powerful. With each strike of her sword, a flash of Sword Light appeared, condensing and hanging in mid-air like a sword edge...

Shua!

Shua!

Shua!

...

The woman in black unleashed over ten sword strikes, with more than ten Sword Lights standing in the air, poised like arrows ready to be fired.

"Go!" the woman in black suddenly shouted, and the Sword Lights hovering before her all shot toward Leng Qingqiu. These Sword Lights spread out, locking Leng Qingqiu in from all directions, making escape impossible.

Leng Qingqiu showed a hint of panic. She didn't dodge but instead waved her hand gesture, using the Ruthless Sword as a shield, rapidly spinning it like a windmill, or a circular shield. It blocked her upper body.

"Strike!" the woman in black shouted sweetly, and two sword beams suddenly curved downward, unexpectedly striking Leng Qingqiu's knees, and bright red blood flowed out, startlingly.

Leng Qingqiu knelt on the ground with a thud, her face pale.

Wang Xiaoqiang's heart wrenched at the sight, just as he was about to intervene, when the woman in black spoke coldly with a touch of indignation, "Break the Ruthless Sword yourself and release my brother's soul so he can reincarnate. I'll spare your life..."

Wang Xiaoqiang stopped because he distinctly recognized the woman in black as the long-unseen Heavenly Demon. Memories flashed through Little Qiang's mind...

From their first encounter at the Mystic Yin Mountains, after a fleeting romance, she disappeared like the wind, appearing and disappearing, always like the wind... Later they met again in the White Cloud City under the Mirage City of Immortals, where the Heavenly Demon helped him conquer White Cloud City... Then, when Wang Xiaoqiang faced a Heavenly Tribulation at the Immortal River, the Heavenly Demoness appeared suddenly, helping him to avoid disaster, then vanished without a trace...

Until now, he met her again.

However, what Wang Xiaoqiang never expected was such a meeting, where the Heavenly Demoness had enmity with Leng Qingqiu...

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't intervene. He stood motionless, closely watching the two women, wondering what enmity existed between them.

Leng Qingqiu suddenly raised her head, her pale jade face with a hint of poignant beauty, and replied resolutely, "No! I can resurrect him, rest assured. He's already beginning to transform, it shouldn't take much longer..."

"You've cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, among the most ruthless and heartless people in the world. Do you know what others call you? The Cold-Faced Rakshasa! I won't trust you, and I dare not trust you. You've captured my brother's remnant soul into the Sword Body, turning him into a Sword Spirit. You're so cruel..."

"No, I... I did this entirely for him. I've cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness and turned his remnant soul into a Sword Spirit solely to resurrect him. Once he is revived, I will abandon the Path of Ruthlessness..."

"I can't believe you. I've never heard of Sword Spirits transforming into humans. You're deceiving yourself. Don't experiment with my brother's soul... Do you know what the result will be? It will leave my brother suffering as a wandering ghost, painful and forlorn... He's repeatedly appeared in my dreams, saying he's in pain, asking me to find you..."

"Please believe me, you must believe me. I can do it!" Leng Qingqiu almost pleaded. She wasn't willing to give up easily after persisting so long.

"I won't believe you. I give you a count of three. Break the Ruthless Sword yourself and release my brother's soul; I'll spare you. Otherwise, I'll kill you with a strike..." The Heavenly Demoness finished and began counting.

After counting to three without any reaction from Leng Qingqiu, her face turned cold instantly. The Immortal Sword in her hand slashed out again and again; each strike produced a sword beam rising like a sword edge in the air. Very quickly, the Heavenly Demoness released dozens of sword beams...

Leng Qingqiu turned pale, and a resolute look flashed on her face. She crossed her fingers into Orchid gestures, waved her hands, and yelled, "Path of Ruthlessness, Cold Fiend!"

With her shout, the Ruthless Sword soared into the sky and disappeared. When it fell, it transformed into a white Immortal Sword exuding cold air, seeming like an Ice Sword. The Ice Sword rotated before Leng Qingqiu, and with each turn, a cold fiendish aura spread from the sword...

The Path of Ruthlessness exerted in this icy terrain doubled in power. As the Cold Fiend emerged, a five-foot-thick ice layer condensed around Leng Qingqiu, rapidly spreading to form a tightly woven defense, solid as a fortress, completely shielding Leng Qingqiu.

Wang Xiaoqiang was shocked at the sight, having not seen Leng Qingqiu for over a year. Her Ruthless Path had unexpectedly reached such terrifying levels, remembering when she could only transform Cold Fiend into Qi, but now she could solidify it into ice!

"Indeed, the Path of Ruthlessness is formidable! But the more ruthless you are, the more I must kill you!" said the Heavenly Demoness, waving the Sword Technique, hurling the dozens of sword beams at Leng Qingqiu.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

The Sword Light advanced like a breaking bamboo, shattering the Cold Fiend ice layer...

Leng Qingqiu's sword light was unstoppable, her beautiful eyes widened, her gaze tightened, and she frantically waved both hands to reinforce the Cold Fiend, strengthening the ice layer.

As Spiritual Power continued to intensify, the Cold Fiend finally began to backlash. Leng Qingqiu's skin turned white, her eyebrows, hair, lips... all changed, appearing from a distance like a white-haired Demoness, with a hint of eerie splendor.

Wang Xiaoqiang showed some reluctance, but he thought this was their personal vendetta, and it was inappropriate for him to intervene,

Moreover, both women, one shared intimacy and kindness, the other had deep emotions,

He couldn't assist either woman. Mainly, it wouldn't help and would need a resolution more than anything, so Wang Xiaoqiang decided not to help. However, he closely watched them, ensuring neither would lose their lives.

The Heavenly Demoness's face turned cold, her silver teeth clenched, using all her strength, she slashed the Immortal Sword repeatedly, stacking layer after layer of Sword Light to create an enormous Sword Light. With a wave of her Heavenly Demon Sword Technique, the giant Sword Light moved swiftly toward Leng Qingqiu.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

The Sword Light broke through layer after layer of the Cold Fiend ice, finally reaching Leng Qingqiu. As it seemed about to penetrate the ice before Leng Qingqiu, she waved her Condensation Form...

Bang!

The ice and Sword Light before her were all sent flying. Leng Qingqiu's eyes now turned white, enveloped entirely by a cold aura. (To be continued.
