Wu Wen was also proficient in the Witch Insect Technique, and Zhu Minglang had clearly seen her mangled by Li Yunzhi’s Ice Spears, yet at that moment, Wu Wen actually shed the rotting outer layer of her skin.
Like a Witch Snake, she cast off a layer from her body.
Wu Wen nakedly fled into a pile of ruins, her movements reminiscent of a serpent or insect, exuding an eerie quality.
Li Yunzhi’s perceptual abilities were extremely strong, and she could naturally sense Wu Wen attempting a “Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell.”
She stepped into the air, gliding like a Jade Immortal, standing aloft and thereby overlooking the crawling and writhing Wu Wen below.
Wu Wen turned her head and caught sight of Li Yunzhi, her face paling to bloodless white like a snake or rat as she burrowed into a ditch filled with filth.
Li Yunzhi did not descend into the ditch; instead, she slightly raised her hand, and soon several chilling Snow Swords materialized beside her.
With a focused gaze, the chilling Snow Swords flew towards the ditch, and Wu Wen, hiding below, immediately emitted a scream as blood flowed from the filthy channel.
Nevertheless, Wu Wen had not perished, she was still crawling quickly.
After shedding her skin, her hands had sprouted webbed palms similar to those of a lizard, and with her limbs touching the ground, she resembled a slender Four-legged Snake even more. At this point, Wu Wen could no longer care what filth and nausea lay in the ditch; as long as she could escape, she could endure anything.The ditch began to narrow and extended underground; Wu Wen’s body became incredibly flexible, boneless it seemed, as she suddenly squeezed through the extremely narrow entrance of the subterranean channel and disappeared without a trace.
Li Yunzhi, suspended in midair, could no longer see Wu Wen.
But she could still sense Wu Wen’s exact location, and suddenly Li Yunzhi hastened her pace, flying towards a street reduced to ruins.
Several more Snow Swords, swirling around the street, much like Hunters sniffing out the scent of their prey.
Suddenly, the Snow Swords fiercely chopped down, cleaving the street into several sections.
At the same moment, another harrowing scream echoed from within the channel, and a glimpse of a dirty figure without legs quickly scampered across one of the fissures.
With a strong desire to survive, even with her legs severed, Wu Wen continued to crawl through the channel, her once pristine body now covered in grime, indistinguishable from earthworms amidst piles of trash and mud.
Even without her legs, Wu Wen’s speed remained swift; by the time Zhu Minglang followed, she had vanished without a trace, her hiding place unknown.
Descending into pursuit was unlikely. In a channel meant for rats, cockroaches, and decay insects, one could only move freely if they could transform into a boneless Four-legged Snake like Wu Wen…
Li Yunzhi perched upon a rooftop, her gaze fixed on the ground below. She resembled a focused Snow Cat, serene and beautiful on the outside, her eyes, however, betrayed a murderous intent as she monitored the dark corner’s filth.
“Whoosh whoosh!!!!”
Seemingly having located Wu Wen’s fleeing position again, the Snow Swords sparkled under the sunlight, their sharp gleam piercing precisely into the ground and wounding Wu Wen as she crawled beneath the channel…
Li Yunzhi tread through the air on the rooftops, following until the end, where there lied a sewage river.
She flipped and descended, and the bright Snow Silver Sword in her hand suddenly plunged fiercely into the ground. Wu Wen’s head had just emerged from the channel’s exit when she was nailed to the spot at the mouth of the channel.
The face of the Red Butcher Wu Wen twisted into an especially hideous and terrible visage, her resentful eyes glaring at Li Yunzhi as if not even death would appease her vendetta against Li Yunzhi.
“Twenty years, it’s time to put this to an end!” Li Yunzhi exhaled a breath of foul air, as if dispelling the shadows that had long haunted her heart.
In Li Yunzhi’s heart, how could there not be anger, how could she not feel humiliation.
“`
But all of that has ended now!
“You are nothing more than a chess piece of this world, a mere plaything of the gods above, you Li Yunzi…”
“Swish!”
A sword thrust toward Wu Wen’s forehead, and before Wu Wen could finish her words in a fit of embarrassed rage, she was killed in a single strike by Li Yunzi.
Withdraw clean and crisp, the snow silver threaded sword didn’t touch a drop of blood, yet Wu Wen’s head was gushing with fresh blood!
When Zhu Minglang arrived, he glanced at Wu Wen’s corpse and said, “They all have some peculiar evil arts; best give a few more strikes to make sure she’s thoroughly dead.”
Li Yunzi had already turned around, but she didn’t want to look at the corpse again, yet she felt that what Zhu Minglang said made some sense, so she sent the Snow Silver Sword back with a push.
The Snow Silver Sword, as if it had a life of its own, rapidly chopped at Wu Wen’s corpse repeatedly, slashing it back and forth several times.
Wu Wen, already dead and gone, probably hated no one more than Zhu Minglang, who had suggested ensuring her thorough demise!
…
With the death of the Earth Demon King, all the giant demon statues rampaging inside the city also came crashing down, and numerous Earth Demon Worms fled into the drainage below. Their bodies had shrunk by a whole size, and the Demonic Qi was nowhere near as strong as before. Considering the habits of these Earth Demon Worms, Zhu Minglang specifically instructed the people of the Red Dragon Valley to turn the underground drains of the chengbang upside down, to completely eradicate these pests, lest they rise again from the ashes.
“How exactly did they manage to breed so many Earth Demons?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“The influence of Time Wave affects not only spiritual objects but also gradually has a certain impact on living beings, especially those with unique ways of reproduction,” Li Yunzi answered.
“So from the beginning, Absolute Ridge Chengbang was waiting for the arrival of World Dragon Gate, but how did they know about the connection between World Dragon Gate and Time Wave?” Zhu Minglang still had many doubts in his mind.
They knew too little about this world.
“Did you receive the blessing?” Li Yunzi inquired.
“Yes.”
“Take me there.”
…
Zhu Minglang and Li Yunzi headed towards the ancient relics.
Despite the chaotic battles inside and outside the chengbang, inside the ancient ruins, it remained peaceful and tranquil. Even the corpses that had been left in the Earth Garden of the relics had mysteriously been “cleansed” away, leaving not a single speck of blood.
Zhu Minglang was leading Li Yunzi towards the empty Stone Hall, but Li Yunzi seemed to have heard something and went straight to the Piano Palace instead.
That Piano Palace, somewhat dilapidated, still exuded its past splendor and sanctity. An indistinct sound of piano music floated out, mystical and unfathomable, as if from the dwelling of an Immortal.
Li Yunzi entered the Piano Palace.
She didn’t reminisce like Nan Yuso, nor seemed to fear touching the weakest part of her own heart…
She leaped up into mid-air, gently pinched her fingers, and drew a silver string from the void of the Piano Palace.
To Zhu Minglang’s surprise, the string resembled the Silver Thread Sword that Li Yunzi wielded as her weapon.
