CHAPTER 166: 166 - XUE RUYAN

"I didn’t want to kill anyone, not today." A cold, spiteful voice echoed, "but..."

The elder of the Serene Cloud sect took a step back, trying to retreat towards Shuyin.

But it was already too late.

"You’ve really soured my mood." Qingyi’s voice rang out, his body turning into a blur and cutting the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

His Qi changed immediately, from the peak of the golden core realm to the iron body realm, falling on the elder and forcing him to stop.

Qingyi didn’t even draw his sword. He raised his hands and grabbed the elder’s jaw firmly.

"What did you-" The elder’s eyes widened in terror, but Qingyi ignored his reaction, strengthening his grip until he felt the bones crack between his fingers.

The elder didn’t even have time to scream.

His jaw was crushed in Qingyi’s hands, his teeth and bones tearing skin and flesh as they were shredded.

Qingyi didn’t even use Qi. Only the sheer physical strength he received from advancing to the Iron Body realm was enough.

The old man fell to his knees.

His eyes watered as horrible, pain-filled grunts escaped from what was left of the bloody mess that was his face.

"Master, NO!" The elder’s disciple roared, his eyes filled with hatred as he drew his sword and advanced towards Qingyi.

"If you want to die with that damned old man so badly." Qingyi took a single step to the side before swinging the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword.

His lightning sword qi formed a thunderous ethereal blade that aligned perfectly with both their necks.

In a single second, they were both dead.

Qingyi didn’t bother paying attention to the bodies, focusing instead on his master, whose consciousness was already fading.

He rushed over to her, putting a pill in his mouth and kissing her, forcing her to swallow.

’Ruxue,’ he called in his mind. ’Your current power is close to the Iron Body realm, right? How far can I get away from you without affecting our connection?’

"Hmm... about four or five kilometers," the spiritual beauty replied.

’"Good, protect Qingxue. I have to deal with some filthy trash. ’ Qingyi stood up, grabbing the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword and placing it next to his master’s body.

His beautiful black eyes rose, filled with the deep, bright purple of his draconic eyes as he watched Qing Shuyin.

The great elder shuddered, taking a step back and gritting his teeth.

His eyes glowed with hatred as he held the red orb tightly in his hands.

"Damned brat, do you think that just because you hid your cultivation and succeeded in ambushing that weakling you can deal with me?" Shuyin roared, but Qingyi completely ignored him.

His sight was focused on Ruyan, who was hiding behind her father.

Strangely, she wasn’t watching him with fear or anger.

On the contrary, there was only a deep curiosity on her face.

"Would you forgive me if I killed your father?" Qingyi asked.

To his surprise, the moment he spoke those words, a big smile came over Ruyan’s face.

That was... strange. Why was she reacting like that?

A million questions arose in Qingyi’s mind, but his attention was soon taken by the golden aura that spread through Shuyin’s body.

"You dare ignore me and still ask my daughter such a question?" Shuyin roared, his voice filled with murderous intent.

He stepped forward, ready to attack, but stopped at the last moment.

An intense pain pierced his back and burst through his chest.

He looked down as he vomited blood.

Sticking out of his chest and holding his still-beating heart was a small, delicate hand, one he knew very well.

Another hand grabbed his right hand, taking the red orb from it.

"Ruyan... Why?" he asked, his eyes filling with tears as his body lost strength.

The beauty paid no attention to those words.

The smile on her face grew even wider as she squeezed Shuyin’s heart, crushing it in an explosion of blood.

"You..." Qingyi called out, unable not to feel a little anxious. "Who the hell are you?"

"Ah..." The beauty exhaled heavily before turning her face towards Qingyi.

"You know... ever since we first met, I saw that there was something different about you." She replied, her voice no longer the same as Ruyan’s, no longer dignified and serene, taking on a high-pitched, playful and strangely adorable tone.

"Now I see that you’re much more than I thought." The moment her voice dropped, the world around her seemed to change.

Her long black hair came untied, falling in cascades over her shoulders, a fringe covering her forehead and a pair of black horns rising from her head.

Her wide blue dress changed shape, taking on a black hue and clinging to her voluptuous chest and delicate waist.

The scaly fabric covered in blood-red details ran down between the deep valley of her plump, perfectly round buttocks, perfectly demarcating their full curve.

Her skin, once clear and rosy, turned a deep pale white, not inferior to Ruxue’s skin.

Only her beautiful face, adorned with blood-red lips and eyes, retained slightly flushed cheeks.

She was, without a doubt, even more beautiful than the Ruyan that Qingyi knew.

No, Ruyan was barely a match for the woman in front of Qingyi.

’System, shouldn’t draconic eyes be able to see through any illusion?’

[Yes, but that’s not an illusion, it’s a shapeshifting technique]

The system’s response sent a shiver down Qingyi’s spine as he looked at the woman’s status.

Seeing her traits, Qingyi froze.

"Uh? Aren’t you going to say anything? Too stunned by my beauty? Fufufu~~" Ruyan leaned forward, a teasing, sweet laugh escaping her plump red lips.

"Maybe I can give you a hand." She raised a single finger, pointing it towards the fallen Qingxue.

In the next moment, blood was sucked from the bodies on the ground, leaving them completely dry and forming a spear of blood in front of her fingers.

Without hesitation, she threw it towards the silver-haired beauty.

At that very moment, Qingyi moved.

His body turned into a blur as he appeared in front of the blade and activated the scales of the black dragon, grabbing it with his bare hands.

"You know," Qingyi squeezed hard, the spear shattering into scarlet fragments.

"I only planned to fuck you and make you my new wife. Those plans haven’t changed. But if you dare to do this again..."

Qingyi activated the lightning steps.

A shockwave spread from where he left as he closed the gap between him and Ruyan in a split second.

"I promise you’ll get hurt."
