Put Away That Shameless Face of Yours! The Sword Pierced Through Her Body
The others' expressions changed as well.
When they felt the presence Di Juetian had inadvertently revealed just now, they had felt as though the heavens were collapsing and the earth was caving in.
Looking at the man whose face they could not make out on the high seat, many no longer dared to look at him.
Even those who had been secretly sizing him up abandoned the thought.
Now everyone's gazes turned to the arena once more, looking at the bloodstained ice sculpture.
Not only did Shangguan Qing'er not stop.
She stabbed at it, thrust after thrust.
The eyes of the other spectators seemed to twitch.
Just how deep did her hatred run?
"Enough."
A cold bark came from within the ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture shattered.
Xiao Yu's figure emerged from within.
Blood stained the corner of his mouth.
His gaze turned utterly cold.
This was supposed to be his moment to show off, but he had never expected to be gravely injured just as the fight began.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Yu looked at Shangguan Qing'er.
"Good, good. Only now is your strength enough to make me bring out my true fighting power."
Quite a few people looked surprised when they heard Xiao Yu's words.
Xiao Yu still had a trump card.
"Fire God Transformation."
Xiao Yu's eyes held a domineering look.
Flames appeared one after another, circling him.
Then he absorbed them all into his body.
His strength rose in an instant.
It rose by four levels in one leap, reaching the Profound Core Seventh Layer.
"A secret art?"
"Xiao Yu is really something, to possess a secret art like that. But it probably only works at lower realms. What a pity."
"What if there's more to it, and he just hasn't revealed it or found it yet?"
Some people speculated.
Quite a few others had greed in their eyes.
After all, a secret art that could increase one's strength was bound to be of a high grade.
As long as they obtained it, even if they couldn't use it themselves, their descendants could.
"Now the fight begins."
After sensing his strength, Xiao Yu's powerful confidence returned.
"Trash."
"Smack."
At that moment, a powerful presence erupted from Shangguan Qing'er.
The Void Insight Third Layer.
Before Xiao Yu could react.
Shangguan Qing'er's palm landed squarely on his face.
Xiao Yu performed a seven-hundred-and-twenty-degree spin.
Then he crashed into the ground.
At that moment, Xiao Yu was not the only one dumbfounded.
The spectators were dumbfounded too.
"My heavens, the Void Hollow Realm."
"That's incredible. She's in the Void Hollow Realm at such a young age."
Even Shangguan Zhen's face was filled with wild delight.
He did not care even if she had broken through with Di Juetian's help.
She had already broken through to this realm now. How much time would that save her in the future?
While others spent that time cultivating, Shangguan Qing'er might be able to break through once again.
Xiao Yu came to his senses and looked at Shangguan Qing'er in disbelief.
Then he cried out.
"Impossible, you cheated."
Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Looking at Shangguan Qing'er now, his three-year agreement had become a joke.
Naturally, Xiao Yu was unwilling to accept it.
"Don't like it? Suck it up."
"Shangguan Qing'er, carrying her sword."
She came to Xiao Yu's side.
Xiao Yu's eyes were wary.
That was right, wary.
Xiao Yu saw killing intent in Shangguan Qing'er's eyes.
And pain etched into her bones and engraved on her heart.
"You... you want to kill me?"
"The three-year agreement. When you came to my door to break off the engagement, you said, 'Thirty years the river flows east, thirty years the river flows west.'"
"In just three years, your strength has already reached this level. I'm afraid."
"I want to live well, and in my life from now on, no one will be able to mention you."
Seeing that Shangguan Qing'er really was about to act.
Shangguan Wan'er moved and stopped her.
Then an even more powerful presence appeared.
The others had gone numb.
Another person in the Void Hollow Realm, and at the Void Insight Eighth Layer at that.
Many of the lineages among those who had come did not have a single person in the Void Hollow Realm.
Yet two juniors of the Shangguan Lineage had already reached this level.
Where was the justice in that?
"You're going to stop me."
Shangguan Qing'er spoke word by word.
"I'm not stopping you. I just don't want you to make a mistake."
"A mistake? What a high-sounding excuse!"
"Move."
"How dare you."
Shangguan Wan'er saw that Shangguan Qing'er would not heed her warning and really meant to kill Xiao Yu.
Anger showed on her face.
"Aren't you strong? As long as you defeat me, I'll let you pass. Otherwise, you'll have to listen to me."
Shangguan Wan'er drew a sword and pointed it at Shangguan Qing'er.
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes also held a helpless look.
The other onlookers.
Watching this scene, they widened their eyes.
They were curious. This was some good melon; surely it was ripe?
Di Juetian did not care in the slightest. He even looked ready to enjoy the show.
This good show had only just begun, hadn't it?
For a hunter, patience was the most important thing.
"Are you really going to stop me?"
Shangguan Qing'er spoke word by word.
"I said, as long as you defeat me, you can pass."
Shangguan Wan'er also spoke word by word.
Shangguan Qing'er laughed, desolation in her eyes.
Then she moved!
"Pffft."
"Qing'er, you—"
"Get lost."
Shangguan Qing'er had not attacked. When she saw Shangguan Wan'er pointing a sword at her.
She went straight toward the sword.
Looking at the sword piercing through her body.
Shangguan Qing'er actually laughed.
Shangguan Zhen's expression also changed on the raised platform.
Immediately afterward came regret.
When he looked at Shangguan Wan'er, his eyes were also filled with anger.
But then he thought of how the Shangguan Lineage had developed so rapidly because of this daughter of his.
Shangguan Zhen fell silent and sighed, his body becoming somewhat hunched.
How ruthless Shangguan Qing'er is. Shangguan Wan'er has failed somewhat as an elder sister.
The others watched the scene, looking at the helplessness in Shangguan Qing'er's eyes.
They sighed as well.
They did not know what had happened between them, but looking at the two sisters on the arena now.
Quite a few people had thoughts of their own.
It would be best if one died, or both of them.
After all, a Shangguan Lineage like this was a little frightening.
"Why?"
"Why? Of course you should ask yourself, my dear sister. When I was about to act earlier, didn't you want to stop me? Now you've succeeded."
"Aren't you stopping me right now?"
"That's not it. I only wanted you to stop."
"I didn't mean to hurt you?"
"Shangguan Wan'er, put away that shameless face of yours."
"Now, the sight of you makes me sick."
At that thought, Shangguan Qing'er took another step forward. The longsword was stained with red blood and gave off an eerie glow.
Now Shangguan Qing'er and Shangguan Wan'er stood face to face, with only a sword hilt's distance between them!
"Do you want to keep going? As long as your hand moves just a little, there'll never be anyone in the Shangguan Lineage who can defy you again. Shangguan Wan'er, would you like to try?"
"You've been to the Upper Realm too. I imagine it's even crueler than this lower realm, isn't it? You're a proud daughter of heaven. Shouldn't those who defy you atone?"
An eerie red stained the corner of Shangguan Qing'er's mouth.
Though pain spread throughout her body, she did not even blink.
As if she felt nothing.
