126 Wang Xiaoyun (2/2)

”So you two were talking about Xue Wei?” she asked, her voice chiming with amusement. ”It is true that I tricked them into thinking that he is a Primordial Beast. He will be chased by everyone now, beasts and humans alike – is it not thrilling?” The Ice Harpy's head lifted up as she chortled loudly once more.

”I wish I could kill him personally, to be honest. But since I'm not allowed to kill him, who says I cannot kill his sweetheart?” she continued. A murderous gleam appeared in her eyes when she looked at Wang Xiaoyun.

”I wonder what expression he will make when he realizes that I have killed you?” A sinister expression fluttered past the Ice Harpy's face and made her look ferocious.

The Grandmother's face turned pale. ”Save the young miss!” she exclaimed, and suddenly Qi appeared on her body and exploded outwards.

”Oh?” Chu Huiyin's eyes glistened, and a smile spread on her lips. ”Someone who has reached the Sky Knight rank? To think that I would encounter someone like you in this tiny kingdom,” she mocked, and feathers started to sprout from her body.

Her feet turned to long legs with talons, her arms to large broad wings with blue and white feathers.

A screech exploded out from her throat, and she ascended into the air. Suddenly, Qi manifested around her, and crescent moons started to attack everything and everyone in the camp.

Blood splattered as many of the Wayfarers were cut into pieces, their corpses not even complete as they collapsed to the ground with eyes both wide open in terror and utterly devoid of all life.

The attack was so fast that no one, not even the grandmother, realized what had happened.

A dozen or more crescent moon blades of Qi descended from the sky, and all of them killed at least one, if not multiple, of the cultivators.

The grandmother's face turned serious, and she shouted as she flew into the air to fight against the Ice Harpy, only to find that the Primordial Beast was snickering at her and not taking her serious at all.

”You there, sweetheart of Xue Wei, look how I slaughter your family!” she exclaimed excitedly. More and more crescent moons appeared every time she flapped her wings.

These attacks caused blood to flow like rivers and corpses to stack like mountains. No one had the time to act before they were slain, and Wang Xiaoyun was gritting her teeth when a sword appeared out of nowhere and struck at the Ice Harpy in the air.

”Oh so you actually know how to move even though you are just an old lady?” the Ice Harpy said with a snicker and easily dodged the attack, continuing her massacre.

Time flashed by in a red hue, and the area was filled with screams of despair and the scent of blood, corpses littering the entire campground.

Slowly, the screams died out, and no one could talk anymore. In fact, as time went by, only two survivors were present in the entire Wayfarer camp: one was the grandmother who had chased Chu Huiyin all the time, and the other was Wang Xiaoyun.

Both of them had eyes red with grief and anger. Both wished for nothing more than to rip the Ice Harpy to shreds and ensure that she no longer existed in this world – they wanted to destroy her soul and make it so that she could no longer enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Unfortunately, neither of the two could bring that feeling to fruition. Numerous Knight-ranked experts were among the toll of casualties, but even they had been killed as quickly as chickens on the chopping board.

”This is all my fault,” Wang Xiaoyun blamed herself. She was present to hear the Ice Harpy's statement about the reason for her attack, which was her being Xue Wei's sweetheart, and she did not realize just how terrible it was to be the enemy of one of the strongest Primordial Beasts in the continent until now.

”Do not blame Xue Wei or yourself, little one,” the grandmother said slowly. She turned to Chu Huiyin ”You, Ice Harpy, are a primordial beast, so you will kill us whether or not we had anything to do with him. It is no hidden fact that you enjoy slaughtering humans everywhere you go! But who would have known that we would underestimate you as much as we did!”

”Well, that is true,” Chu Huiyin did not deny it. ”But it is also true that I am killing you all right now for the sake of seeing that filthy, abominable Xue Wei's face contort with pain and agony. I hate him more than anyone else. He is even more disgusting than normal humans. He has to live a life of suffering! He cannot be allowed to be happy! For his unhappiness, I will hunt and kill anyone who is close to him; I will cause the whole world to turn against him, and I will destroy his life and force him to live through it!”

Chu Huiyin was completely incensed. She was lost in her thoughts and did not seem to be paying attention to the grandmother.

Seeing that the Ice Harpy was not paying attention to her, the grandmother did not squander this opportunity, launching a furious offensive. A brilliant shine exploded out from her body as she rushed at the Ice Harpy.

Her body seemed as if it had been made from glass and filled with a prismatic light. This glass was slowly breaking, and her body was showing cracks and started to fall apart, yet when she reached Chu Huiyin her body had turned into a blazing sun of Qi.

This blazing sun of Qi had no emotions left; there was no flesh and blood, everything in the body, including the soul, had been transmuted into pure energy. This energy detonated the moment it came into contact with the Ice Harpy.

The explosion that erupted was so powerful that it swallowed even the distant Wang Xiaoyun and flung her back like a kite that had been cut free.

Blood sprayed from her mouth and her vision blackened as she lost consciousness.
