Huai Shu looked at Huai Bi and angrily said, ”Why aren't you quickly releasing Senior Sister!”
Xu Yourong's gaze suddenly shifted to Huai Bi's face.
Huai Bi felt like two blazing rays of light had appeared in front of her as her view was engulfed by a blinding radiance.
With a bang, a gale howled through the cottage, causing the white thatch to sway. Wings of fire, ten-some zhang in length, occupied everyone's gazes.
Xu Yourong had revealed the body of the true Phoenix!
Infinite light spread in all directions while the temperature rapidly climbed, the thatched cottage seemingly on the verge of blazing.
Huai Bi felt an unimaginable pressure. In her wrath, she retreated, but she did not let Huai Ren go.
Suddenly, Huai Ren's face went ghastly white and she vomited a mouthful of crimson blood!
Huai Bi slightly froze, lowering her head to look as she felt a hint of wariness.
But it was already too late.
Huai Ren's seemingly thin and fragile body exploded with a vigorous power, so pure that it seemed to have been washed in the south stream for several centuries!
The frigid black sword was sent flying.
Huai Bi felt like a green mountain had smashed into her stomach. With a roar, she quickly retreated backward.
Huai Ren turned around, her figure like smoke and also like the fragrance of a flower as she attacked.
Her hands descended, seemingly subdued, but also imbued with the purest principles of the world, absolutely unavoidable.
Ten-some light pops echoed through the flowering trees of South Stream Temple.
These were the sounds of Huai Ren's finger pressing upon Huai Bi.
There was a thump, the howling of wind, and then it all gradually dissipated.
A pit, three feet deep, had appeared amongst the trees of South Stream Temple.
Huai Bi stood in the bottom of this pit, her face pale and body drenched in blood.
”How is this possible?”
She somewhat crazily muttered to herself.
Huai Ren calmly stood in front of her. ”Know what it is to be male, protect what it means to be female, thus allowing one to become the Worldstream. Junior Sister, you've never managed to learn this finger technique correctly.” (TN: This saying originates from the first line of Chapter 28 of the 'Daodejing'.)
Huai Bi shrieked and turned to leave.
With a rush of wind, a figure descended like thunder and slammed against her.
Huai Bi gasped in pain as she crashed amongst the trees.
The figure walked out. It was the fiery Huai Shu.
There was not only fragrance amongst the flowering trees, but also sword intent.
Ten-some sword intents rose with an intimidating aura.
Huai Bi let out yowl after yowl. Her body suddenly fell, finally unable to endure as she was forced back by the sword glows.
Flowers fell, forming a burial mound.
She fell back into the pit.
Her left arm had been severed and her body was covered in wounds from which blood dripped. She was in a most miserable state.
She looked at Huai Ren and arduously crawled forward. With a sob in her voice, she called out, ”Senior Sister, spare me.”
Huai Ren quietly gazed at her, saying nothing.
Those sobs tinged with pain gradually faded, a symbol of her despair.
Huai Ren thought quietly for a very long time. Finally, she turned to Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng in the cottage, bowed, then left.
