Liu Rumei ultimately underestimated the Great Saint's abilities.
Not to mention, Elder Li is no ordinary Great Saint.
Having failed to recruit Liu Rumei, she harbored murderous intent. Seeing that Liu Rumei was about to break through space to escape, she immediately turned cold and summoned a secret treasure from her Storage Bag.
It was a magical Law Treasure, like a compass, that began to spin rapidly the moment it was unleashed.
Then, a dazzling firework exploded, completely sealing off the surrounding space.
Liu Rumei felt that the Spiritual Power around her had become as stagnant and difficult to mobilize as a sea of mud, and the Secret Technique within her body had even temporarily stalled.
In an instant, her expression changed drastically.
Elder Li gave a cold laugh.
"You mere Saint Realm cultivator dares to show off your meager skills before me? I'll show you what the methods of Great Saint are!"
"In your next life, remember this: you will never dare to be presumptuous before the Great Saint!"
The treasure in her hand was a Saint Artifact on the verge of breaking. Although it could still function, each time she used it, the number of uses decreased.
This caused Elder Li both heartache and financial pain.
But she has always been cautious.
Moreover, recognizing that Liu Rumei probably doesn't belong to the Heaven-Gazing Domain, and with such high talent, she might have a powerful background. The fact that her Secret Technique could withstand her attack suggests it's not an ordinary method. Therefore, she must be extremely vigilant.
This also helps prevent being killed by the opponent in their dying moments.
This also helps prevent the other party from accidentally escaping from her grasp.
If she manages to escape, she'll likely be in serious trouble.
Otherwise, Elder Li wouldn't have used his most treasured possession.
after all...
She obtained this compass by chance, and its origin is still unknown.
However, its effects are extremely powerful. It can not only seal off space, but also pause time and slow down the flow of time. It can be said to be a fully mastered domain, so powerful that it is terrifying. Even though the effect does not last long, it has helped Elder Li escape danger countless times.
She was extremely pleased.
It breaks my heart.
I showed it to many weapon refiners, but none of them could explain how to fix it, let alone repair it.
Now that she had wasted another opportunity on Liu Rumei, her determination to kill her only strengthened.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to have invested so much money?
Elder Li gave a chilling smile, "Die!"
As the devastating attack was about to strike, Liu Rumei could even hear her own heart pounding wildly.
This is the first time.
For the first time, the Liu Household's Secret Technique, on which he relied for survival, had lost its effectiveness and could not be used.
She had escaped danger many times before thanks to this Secret Technique.
This is her greatest source of confidence.
But unexpectedly, today I, who have been hunting geese all day, have had my eyes pecked by the geese.
Damn it...
How could I just perish like this?
Liu Rumei's expression changed repeatedly. Finally, she gritted her teeth and bit her tongue hard until it bled.
There's nothing we can do.
I can only resort to my last life-saving measures!
That was a method known to every Liu Household, but unless it was a matter of life and death, no member of the Liu Household would use it.
This method involves burning Essence Blood and even one's lifespan, all for that sliver of opportunity.
She was certain she could escape.
But after escaping, his talent will likely plummet, and his cultivation will be crippled.
They barely survived.
The three-year agreement is absolutely over.
But there's no other way now.
Only by living can you possess everything.
If you die, then you have nothing left.
She must survive!
Just as Liu Rumei was about to spit out the mouthful of Essence Blood, she suddenly heard a sigh.
The sigh wasn't loud, but it resounded clearly in her ears. In fact, a force struck, abruptly stopping her actions.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked over instinctively, only to hear a strange voice.
"We've met quite a few times now..."
"It was also fortuitous opportunity."
Who is it...?
Before Liu Rumei could turn her head and see who was speaking, she felt a gust of wind blow past her ears.
Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi, surging like the wind and waves, swept over her from behind, making her look like a small boat in a storm, yet it bypassed her without capsizing her.
A vast expanse of white Sword Qi covered the sky and earth. Amidst a sharp whistling sound, Liu Rumei froze, her eyes wide open.
Elder Li wanted to escape, but it was too late.
All the Sword Qi transformed into the most ferocious murderous intent in the world, completely annihilating her life force.
Without any hesitation or delay.
Its aura was absolutely terrifying.
Before she could even recover from the cold contempt she felt as she was about to kill Liu Rumei, her physical body and soul were utterly annihilated by this One Sword!
The mighty Great Saint died silently, as if it were child's play, leaving no trace between heaven and earth!
Their methods are outrageous!
Liu Rumei was completely stunned.
Her eyes remained fixed for a long time, and she felt only bewilderment, without a trace of joy at escaping her predicament.
We're... we're rescued!?
So easily... saved?
The Great Saint is dead...
He just died like that??
Who is it...?
"... It's you?"
Stunned, she turned her head and finally took in the person's face in its entirety. Liu Rumei couldn't help but let out a gasp.
She stared wide-eyed at the white-clad man who appeared before her, her heart filled with disbelief.
Lin Xuan remembered her, and of course she remembered Lin Xuan too.
Since arriving at the Heaven-Gazing Secret Realm, she has been on a treasure hunt.
Along the way, I encountered many people like myself, vying for fortuitous opportunity.
Some people have ulterior motives. Seeing that I am alone and do not seem to be a disciple of a major sect, they want to kill me and steal my treasure, but I kill them instead.
Some people you meet only once and never see again.
Or perhaps they were cultivators much weaker than themselves, who could only watch helplessly as she took the fortuitous opportunity, leaving them with nothing but resentment.
But Lin Xuan was the only one she met multiple times.
Once or twice is nothing.
After three, four, five, or six times, she was starting to suspect that the other party was a descendant of the treasure-hunting rat!
She could also tell that the man in white was very strong.
Each time, if the other person arrived first instead of her, the treasure at that place of fortuitous opportunity would definitely be taken by the other person.
On several occasions, she took the treasure first.
However, the other person had a good temperament and never interfered with her. At most, they would nod at each other as a greeting, and never forcibly took anything from her.
Of course, they never spoke.
Therefore, Liu Rumei never expected that the other party could be so strong!
Subconsciously, Liu Rumei thought of Ye Hao.
The man in white didn't look very old.
Such strength is formidable; it should surely surpass...
wrong!
She must have crushed her ex-fiancé, right?
Could there really be such a figure in the Heaven-Gazing Domain?
Lin Xuan smiled at the little girl, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the few Saint Realm who were almost scared out of their wits, and casually spoke.
"As for the rest, I don't think I need to do anything, right?"
