When Xia Buyan saw Ning Xiang fall, he was about to fly over to help, but Su Lang said, "No need. Junior Sister is baiting Bai Xi. Let her teach Bai Xi a lesson and vent some of her anger."
Bai Xi had intended to throw Ning Xiang down, then fly back onto the Seven-Treasure Spirit Vessel herself. But she had underestimated Ning Xiang far too much. Ning Xiang had deliberately left an opening, and Bai Xi had fallen for it.
Ning Xiang unleashed golden crow brightflame, instantly scorching Bai Xi. The air filled with the smoky fragrance of roasted snake meat.
Bai Xi resumed her human form and summoned the Blackflame Demon Bow, aiming it at Ning Xiang's heart. The Blackflame Demon Bow was her Life-Bound Treasure, and this arrow held more than half her demonic power. She refused to believe Ning Xiang could truly dodge it.
To Bai Xi's surprise, Ning Xiang lashed out with the Shattered Moon Whip and shredded her arrow, paying no heed to the Blackflame Demon Arrow brushing past her cheek. Her gaze was icy, her eyes devoid of any other emotion.
She utterly disregarded the gap between her cultivation and Bai Xi's. She had only one goal: to kill Bai Xi.
Even Bai Xi was frightened by Ning Xiang's demeanor, and her momentum crumbled at once. By the end, half her hair had been burned off, leaving her looking indescribably bedraggled.
The moment her attention slipped, the Shattered Moon Whip wound around her neck. Bai Xi struggled with all her might, tugging at the whip with her hands, but it did not budge.
"If you kill me, Song Tan will die!"
Yet Ning Xiang tightened it little by little, utterly unmoved. "Is that so? What does Song Tan have to do with me?"
