Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Huang Yanchen wielded her sword, and a trace of sword Qi cut three Corpse Kings and two Ghost Kings in half.

Huang Yanchen rushed forward, trying to stab Han Qiu in the forehead.

Han Qiu was using all her strength to control the Corpse Kings and Ghost Kings, so it seemed that she couldn’t dodge the attack of Huang Yanchen at all.

However, Han Qiu suddenly smiled bizarrely as the sword light got closer.

Whoos.h.!.+

A dark phantom that looked exactly like Han Qiu flew out of her body and hit Huang Yanchen.

Huang Yanchen trembled and spit out blood. She bounced away like a kite without its string.

That dark phantom went back to Han Qiu’s body.

Han Qiu stopped controlling the Corpse Kings and Ghost Kings, instead, she rushed toward Huang Yanchen and was about to stab Huang Yanchen’s neck with her sword. She sneered and said, “My dark dividing self is just as powerful as my original body, isn’t it?”

Huang Yanchen stood on the square, bleeding. She closed her eyes and said, “If you want to kill me, do it now.”

Han Qiu smiled at Zhang Ruochen smugly and said, “Should I kill her, your highness?”

Everyone at the peak of Saint Wood Mountain looked to Zhang Ruochen.

Even the heavenly kings from the imperial government didn’t dare try and save her as Huang Yanchen would definitely be killed by Han Qiu if they failed. n.o.body could afford to bear that responsibility, which meant Huang Yanchen’s life was totally in Zhang Ruochen’s hands now.

Mu Lingxi grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s hand, shook her head and said, “No! You can’t kill sister Chen.”

Mu Lingxi was worried that Zhang Ruochen would regret killing Huang Yanchen in the future. If someone did something regretful, he or she would spend the rest of the life wallowing in pain and sorrow. She couldn’t allow Zhang Ruochen to do something like that.

“Kill? n.o.body’s going to kill anybody! I haven’t said anything yet. Who dares to kill!”

An immortal bird with a cat head walked out of the crowd.

It had a chubby body. It twisted its b.u.t.t with its wings spread, walking toward Han Qiu and Huang Yanchen.

The eyes of that immortal bird bulged, and it yelled at Han Qiu, “Didn’t you hear what I just said? Put down your sword, otherwise, I’ll beat you half to death.”

And then, the immortal bird knocked Han Qiu’s sword away with its wings.

Han Qiu had originally planned to seize the chance to kill Huang Yanchen once and for all so that Zhang Ruochen’s lingering feelings toward her would be gone, yet she was interrupted by a beast who didn’t look like any animal.

“Where did you come from? How dare you stop me?”

Han Qiu picked up her sword and swung it toward the immortal bird with a cat head.

Bang!

She didn’t manage to hurt the immortal bird with that move at all.

Han Qiu felt that her arms went numb after that. She immediately put her saint sword away and looked to the immortal bird in shock.

The immortal bird smiled and said, “Do you really think you can hurt me?”

“Ugh!”

Han Qiu mobilized her dark power, and dozens of traces of black demonic forces gushed out of her forehead and gathered in her arm, and then, she hit the belly of the immortal bird.

There were many characteristics of dark power. It could swallow, erode, and kill.

However, just as Han Qiu hit the immortal bird’s belly, it was only to find out that the immortal bird’s feathers started to burn.

Even dark power couldn’t penetrate its body.

The immortal bird shook its body and knocked Han Qiu away. It guffawed, “I’m invincible. Do you really think you can hurt me?”

The other monks were all amazed.

Huang Yanchen stared at that immortal bird that was standing in front of her. She found the way it talked resembled that of Blackie too much.

However, its forces were completely different from those of Blackie.

Besides, Blackie was a cat, but this was an owl.

Huang Yanchen heard Blackie transmitting its voice to her. “Obviously, Zhang Ruochen came here to kill Qiu Yu today. n.o.body but you stood up and tried to protect him. Are you an idiot?”

Huang Yanchen then confirmed that the immortal bird was Blackie.

She said, “The empress told us before she left that Qiu Yu is the spiritual root of Kunlun’s Field, which makes him the hope of Kunlun’s Field. If Zhang Ruochen kills him, he’ll be executed by the empress without a doubt. I don’t have a choice.”

“Leave that to me.”

Blackie transmitted its voice to Huang Yanchen again.

Blackie looked to Qiu Yu and said, “Come over here, tree.”
