That Blade Struck at Yun Yun!

That Blade Struck at Yun Yun!

Above the oasis, after a brief exchange, the black-robed figure had determined that Jiang Han's realm was above her own.

Had she known from the start that her opponent was also a Dou Emperor, she might have reconsidered whether to continue avenging Nalan Yanran.

After all, Nalan Yanran was already dead, and she had indeed been the one who had first tried to kill him.

Offending a living Dou Emperor for the sake of a dead person—even her beloved disciple—was exceedingly unwise.

But now that things had come to this, there was no turning back.

On the battlefield, the gale surrounding the black-robed figure grew increasingly violent, while her longsword began to gather dazzling white light.

As time passed, the white light became ever brighter, like a blazing sun.

Jiang Han knew that the black-robed figure was building up power.

Though he could not sense any threat from that white light, its imposing aura was too intimidating, so he decided to take it seriously.

A saber appeared in Jiang Han's hand.

He had specifically picked out this fine saber in the Black-Corner Region for the Extreme Blade Three Styles.

"Yun Zhi, stop!"

Xiao Yan seemed to have witnessed the terror of this move before and hurriedly shouted.

Because of what had happened on the day Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement, he had a favorable impression of Jiang Han and did not want to see him die here.

Even though he was not sure whether the black-robed figure was the Yun Zhi he knew, he still held onto a sliver of hope and decided to try.

Hearing Xiao Yan's shout, Jiang Han nodded in approval.

The black-robed figure's body trembled slightly, and a trace of hesitation appeared in her eyes.

But it soon vanished.

"Extreme Wind: Fallen Kill."

The black-robed figure uttered the cold, calm words.

In an instant.

At the tip of her longsword, the white light flashed fiercely, and an incomparably thin ray shot forth.

The ray was terrifyingly fast. Wherever it passed, space trembled.

A pitch-black streak descended vertically from the azure sky, exceptionally conspicuous.

The moment Fallen Kill was unleashed, Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. It was as if he could already see Jiang Han being pierced through the very next second.

Yet the scene Xiao Yan feared did not occur.

Just as the white light was about to strike Jiang Han, Jiang Han swung his saber.

The first slash shattered the white light with unstoppable force.

The second slash cleaved apart the black-robed figure's longsword and shattered her black robe.

Beneath the robe stood a beautiful woman dressed in a plain gown.

Her dark hair was pinned up in a noble phoenix-style adornment, and even her simple attire could not conceal her elegance and nobility.

However, her originally radiant and captivating face was now somewhat pale, with bright red blood seeping from the corner of her lips.

After seeing the black-robed figure's appearance clearly, Xiao Yan was utterly shaken.

As he looked at the scene before him and recalled Jiang Han killing Ge Ye a year ago...

One slash, two slashes, and then a third slash!

The instant the two scenes overlapped, anxiety appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

"Big Brother, please show mercy!"

Xiao Yan circulated his Dou Qi and shouted repeatedly.

Especially when he saw Jiang Han swing the third slash he had anticipated.

Xiao Yan could not help clenching his fists.

Jiang Han glanced at Xiao Yan but ignored him.

The force carried by his third slash was the combined power of the first two, making it clearly far more terrifying.

Facing the blade that was drawing ever closer, Yun Yun suddenly relaxed. She glanced at Xiao Yan below and calmly chose to accept death.

At first, she had tried to control her body and dodge the slash.

But a strange force surged from the blade, not only binding her body but even imprisoning the Dou Qi within her, turning her directly into a lamb awaiting slaughter on the chopping block.

Boom!

The force on the blade surged into her body like monstrous waves.

It snuffed out her life force with devastating ease.

Pill King Gu He, who stood in the distance atop a gigantic magical beast with his nerves taut, had not even reacted.

The slash within his sight had already come for him.

It seemed to have broken through the limits of space.

Without any warning, it appeared directly before Gu He.

Before Gu He could defend himself, the blade carrying overwhelming might sliced through him together with the magical beast.

Scarlet blood scattered through the air, filling it with a pungent stench.

Under the impact of the third slash, Yun Yun fell downward like a kite with a severed string.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately summoned his Purple Cloud Wings and steadily caught Yun Yun, who no longer had a trace of life left in her.

The remaining five Dou Lings finally came to their senses as well.

Their faces instantly turned ashen. Looking at Jiang Han as though they had seen the god of death, their eyes were filled with terror.

Three Dou Wang experts, and even a Dou Emperor, had all been slain!

Such an outcome was far too abrupt and unexpected.

Jiang Han did not pay the five Dou Lings any attention at all. He even felt that attacking them would be a waste of effort.

"Do you want to avenge her?"

Jiang Han walked toward Xiao Yan, his voice calm.

Had Yun Yun dispelled her killing intent when Xiao Yan told her to stop, he might have considered merely severely injuring her.

But in the end, that sword had still come down upon him!

He was not familiar with Yun Yun.

If a strange woman wanted to kill him, then naturally she had to be prepared to be killed herself.

He would not spare someone who wanted to kill him merely because Xiao Yan was the Child of Destiny in this world.

"If it were me, and I encountered someone who wanted to kill me, I would probably be the same as Big Brother."

Xiao Yan held Yun Yun's corpse in his arms and shook his head. There was no killing intent in his eyes.

If anyone was to blame, it was only the other party for not listening to him and stopping earlier.

"How did you two meet?"

Jiang Han voiced the doubt in his heart.

From his god's-eye perspective, Yun Yun and Xiao Yan's encounter had happened because of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

And Yun Yun had sought out the Amethyst Winged Lion King for the sake of her beloved disciple, Nalan Yanran.

But Nalan Yanran had long since been killed by him!

He had already cut off the source, yet he still could not prevent the bond between them.

Jiang Han could only sigh that when it came to the fated karma between men and women, only the Old Man Under the Moon could intervene.

"By chance, I saved her."

Noticing Jiang Han's gaze, Xiao Yan explained, "Our relationship goes no further than that. It is not as you imagine, Big Brother."

Jiang Han nodded.

Judging by Xiao Yan's appearance, their acquaintance had not involved the ambiguity of a cave encounter.

"After you return, inform the Nalan Family to remove my wanted notices. When I return, if I still see those notices, I will come looking for you."

Jiang Han looked at the few minor Dou Lings, his words brimming with threat.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Take me to have a look at the Azure Lotus Core Flame."

After Xiao Yan gave Yun Yun a proper burial, Jiang Han pointed in the direction of the Snake-People Temple.

"So Big Brother really came for the Strange Fire." Xiao Yan was somewhat disappointed.

Jiang Han patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and smiled. "I'm not going to fight you for it. I'm simply curious. I'll only take a look, that's all."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

After resting briefly.

The two figures set off together, streaking toward the large tribe situated along the main route.

After flying across the scorching desert sky for nearly two hours, a massive tribal fortress finally appeared on the distant horizon.

To kill or not to kill—I hesitated for a long time.

In the end, I did not impose my personal feelings and instead considered it from Jiang Han's perspective.

A woman he did not know wanted to kill him, so of course he had to kill her in return.
