There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

Chapter 1492 Neither Human nor Ghost, Neither Immortal nor Demon

The Six Ren dice didn't even notice her.

Or perhaps even if they noticed, they were too lazy to bother.

She was now itching to try her luck. She had disliked this broken bead for a while, and now she finally had her chance.

Gu Xia clicked her tongue. "Is it alright for you to fight him?"

That protective pearl was clearly of a high grade, and it was quite annoying that she had to burn it with all her might every now and then to protect Qu Yimian. To avoid it happening again, she simply gave the other party something to do.

Liu Ren Si raised his chin dismissively in that direction, "Just you wait and see, Gu Xia."

All she wanted to do now was cling to Gu Xia, so naturally she had to make a good impression.

In the short time it took for the person and the spirit to exchange a few words, Qu Yimian had already taken advantage of the protective pearl blocking her way and tried to rush into the secret realm again.

Seeing that she still wanted to escape, Gu Xia's figure followed closely, pressing down with her sword. The sword energy was like a knife, and Qu Yimian immediately screamed and stumbled forward in a sorry state.

Seeing this, the protective pearl was extremely anxious. Its spirit instincts made it want to get rid of the entanglement in front of it immediately, but it was easily blocked from the battle by the Six Ren Dice.

"What's the rush?" she said with a grin, putting all her strength into her blows. "They can fight their own battles, but your opponent is me."

The man's eyes were icy cold, and with a wave of his hand, dazzling golden light transformed into countless sharp blades that flew out.

The two spirits simultaneously enlarged, and the golden orb and the light pink die collided in mid-air, sending countless boulders shattering from the shockwaves.

"boom--"

The Six Ren Dice slammed down mercilessly. Having followed Gu Xia for so long, even she had learned this simple and brutal fighting style.

I must say, it really works quite well.

She looked down on Qu Yimian's behavior. Spiritual artifacts inherently possess the instinct to protect themselves. After all, it doesn't matter if the contractor dies; they can just wait for the next one.

Goodbye is goodbye, the next one will only be better.

It's just a matter of waiting for many, many more years.

Therefore, she particularly disapproved of the many sycophantic behaviors of the protective orb, and naturally became exceptionally ruthless when she took action.

Every strike was aimed at beating the opponent to a pulp.

Gu Xia was another one who beat people to a pulp.

Even though Qu Yimian was seething with hatred, she was completely powerless to fight back when facing her. The cold sword energy struck her shoulder, and the aura of tribulation spread above her head. She was immediately terrified and instinctively threw out a golden circle.

Gu Xia touched the Returning Snow Sword, and the frost flying all over the sky condensed in an instant, freezing it completely, and the light around it was greatly reduced.

Whatever it is, I'll just accept it all.

Gu Xia's cold gaze fell on Qu Yimian, her smile quite gentle, "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? You're welcome to unleash them all, after all..."

She finished forming a sword incantation with her fingertips, and smiled, "This is the burial place you painstakingly chose."

Qu Yimian's face contorted with anger at these words.

She never imagined that things would develop in such a dramatic way. The burial place she thought she had prepared for Gu Xia might end up being her own.

The secret realm, originally intended as a retreat, also slipped out of control. All their trump cards were used, but to no avail.

Qu Yimian didn't want to admit it, but she had no choice but to.

She lost.

This time, she lost completely.

Given the deep-seated grudge between her and Gu Xia spanning two lifetimes, involving countless lives, unless the other party has lost their mind, there is absolutely no possibility of them letting her go.

All the plans were shattered in a single day.

This result was something Qu Yimian found hard to accept.

"Why? Why exactly?"

*

Gu Xia coldly watched her seemingly deranged appearance, her eyes filled with no pity, only an unyielding indifference.

Just as Qu Yimian knew perfectly well, what separated the two of them was not only the grudges of two lifetimes, but also the entanglement of thousands of lives.

Blood debts can only be repaid with blood.

With a flick of his wrist, Gu Xia unleashed two spirit swords simultaneously. Floating Life and Annihilation Light, imbued with terrifying killing intent, swept across the air in a chilling arc with overwhelming force.

The air itself seemed to be severed by this sliver of sunlight.

A whooshing sound rang out, mixed with thunderclaps. Qu Yimian looked flustered and threw out her magical artifacts as if they were free, only to have them crushed into dust and disappear one after another.

Gu Xia took a step closer and noticed that her aura was becoming increasingly chaotic, and the demonic energy surrounding her was attacking haphazardly like a horde of demons dancing wildly.

Clearly, some things are not yours to take by force, and you will only suffer the consequences.

Having suffered repeated near-death injuries, the power that was being refined within Qu Yimian's body, which did not belong to her, gradually began to go out of control.

The Six Ren dice, which were engaged in battle not far away, tilted their heads in this direction, their eyes full of mockery.

The power of the Heavenly Demon was far beyond her ability to control.

Even if a moment of carelessness leads to being devoured, the resentment remaining in one's soul has already merged with one's own power, and cannot be dispelled.

Qu Yimian was completely unaware of this. A murderous aura surged between her brows as she abruptly turned her head to stare intently at Gu Xia, her eyes bloodshot. "Even so, you can't kill me so easily! So what if you're strong, Gu Xia? You think you can kill me with ordinary means? You're dreaming! Hahahaha!"

She was clearly not quite right in the head anymore; her speech was incoherent, with a sense of resignation, and she was surrounded by a menacing aura.

This appearance is so striking that even demons would instinctively avoid it, let alone those who have passed on their skills.

Hearing these words from afar, Xie Baiyi and the others frowned subconsciously. "Is what she said true?"

"How is that possible?" Xu Xingmu rolled away to avoid the attack, and the moment he got up, he plunged his sword into his opponent's heart. "She's definitely bragging. Just you wait and see, my junior sister will definitely kill her."

"Huh...would someone who looks mentally unstable still be able to brag?"

"Who knows? I've never been mentally unstable."

Shu Yue activated her defensive magic weapon, and upon hearing this, her lips twitched slightly. She couldn't help but glance at the sword cultivators again.

Honestly, the way you guys are acting right now isn't exactly normal.

“You’re right.” Surprisingly, Gu Xia actually agreed, seemingly quite pleased. “Ordinary methods certainly wouldn’t be enough to kill you, but…”

She smiled gently, "I pretty much know now."

"Know what?"

Qu Yimian's voice faltered, and she looked at her with a hint of horror.

Gu Xia placed one hand on the other wrist holding the sword, and even raised the corner of her lips at her. Her spiritual power instantly surged to a terrifying level, and then her eyes turned cold. "Of course I know how to kill you."

"I've already said it, I don't care what kind of person you are if I want to kill you. Even if you're neither human nor ghost, neither immortal nor demon, I'll still kill you without hesitation!"

It has to be said that Qu Yimian's last bit of confidence was precisely because her current situation was indeed somewhat complicated.

The forced fusion of her two souls turned her into something neither human nor ghost. Later, she betrayed the immortal sect and devoured the Heavenly Demon, so she could not be considered a true demon.

You probably couldn't find another person like this in the entire cultivation world.

Then.

If we want to completely annihilate her, we must treat this special case with special measures.
