Rushuang Reappears, Slaying an Enemy with a Single Thought

The Cloud Water Dynasty, above the imperial palace.

The patriarch of the Cloudwater Sect was panting heavily on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

His former ethereal and otherworldly appearance was completely gone. At this moment, his clothes were tattered, his breath was weak, and a trace of golden blood clung to the corner of his mouth.

Opposite him stood a figure clad in a black robe, exuding an unfathomable aura, with his hands behind his back and a cruel smile on his face, like a cat toying with Rat.

"Speak," the black-robed man's voice was calm and cold, yet carried an undeniable authority, "Who exactly is the murderer who killed my second and third brothers?"

The heart of the Cloudwater Sect's patriarch sank to the bottom.

He never dreamed that he had just sent away one evil spirit, and now, in the blink of an eye, an even more terrifying demon had appeared!

The person before me is none other than Zhao Wugou, the outer elder of the Nirvana Sect and Zhao Wutian's elder brother!

[Finished...]

Today, I fear my Cloudwater Sect is truly... doomed.

He looked at the man before him, a man as powerful as a god, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes!

He prepared to burn his last bit of divine soul, activate the sect's forbidden secret technique, and perish together with his opponent!

However, just as he was about to detonate his Dao Foundation!

The man in black robes seemed to have seen through his thoughts, but simply snorted disdainfully.

"Snort."

An indescribable, boundless Divine Sense pressure descended with a deafening roar!

The patriarch of the Cloudwater Sect felt as if his soul was being suppressed by an invisible, ancient divine mountain! The spiritual power that had just begun to boil within his body was instantly and completely imprisoned, leaving him unable to move an inch!

"You...!"

He stared at the other person in horror, and for the first time, his eyes revealed an emotion called "despair"!

Can't even... can't he even self-destruct?!

"Before me, you don't even have the right to die," Zhao Wutian said disdainfully. "I am a genuine Foundation Establishment expert! And you are nothing more than a slightly stronger Innate ant!"

The patriarch of the Cloudwater Sect was utterly desperate.

He knew that his granddaughter, Yun Qian, would likely also meet her end.

"I'll ask you one last time," Zhao Wutian's voice was as cold as the deepest hell, "What was the murderer's name?"

"... Dongfang Ri."

"Dongfang Ri?" Zhao Wutian's eyes erupted with overwhelming killing intent and hatred! It really was him!

He now held a portrait in his hand.

[You little beast, no matter where you run to, I, Zhao Wutian, will tear you to pieces!]

Just as his killing intent surged, a clear, cold voice, without warning, rang out behind him.

Are you looking for him?

Zhao Wutian froze!

He turned around abruptly and saw a figure dressed in a moon-white dress, with a cool and ethereal aura, who had silently appeared behind him without him noticing!

It was Qin Rushuang!

At this moment, she was no longer the naive girl she once was in the Great Xia Dynasty. Her cultivation was unfathomable! She simply stood there quietly, as if she had completely merged with this world, without a trace of worldly concerns!

[Standing out of thin air?!]

[Foundation Establishment?!]

Below, the Cloudwater Sect Patriarch, who had already given up hope, turned pale with horror the moment he saw this figure!

Another Foundation Establishment expert?!

As for Zhao Wutian, alarm bells were ringing in his mind!

Because, even with his Foundation Establishment Realm Divine Sense, he... couldn't sense at all when the other party approached!

Qin Rushuang ignored him, and simply gestured with her jade-like hand.

The portrait that Zhao Wutian was clutching tightly in his hand flew uncontrollably into her hand.

When she saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the portrait, for the first time, an uncontrollable shock appeared in her usually calm and aloof eyes!

[The Dongfang Yueming?!]

[He... he's actually... Dongfang Ri?!]

[That little rascal...]

Zhao Wutian finally realized something was wrong!

He looked at the unfathomable, mysterious woman before him, a ruthless glint in his eyes, and was about to unleash his Divine Sense to strike first!

However, Qin Rushuang merely glanced at him indifferently.

"Boom--!"

A terrifying pressure, many times stronger than Zhao Wutian's Divine Sense, vast and boundless, suddenly descended!

"Aaaaaaah--!"

Zhao Wutian felt as if his Sea of Consciousness had been struck head-on by a real star! He let out a shrill scream, clutched his head, and plummeted from mid-air!

This scene completely stunned the Cloudwater Sect Ancestor below!

At this moment, a hint of relief flashed across Qin Rushuang's cool and beautiful face, mixed with a barely perceptible... embarrassment and annoyance.

[That little rascal... made me worry for so long for nothing, thinking I hadn't completed the task Master assigned me...]

[It turns out, ' Dongfang Ri ' was just his alias!]

Thinking of this, an incredibly "kind" smile appeared on her face, though she was seething with hatred inside.

"Who... who are you?!"

Standing to the side, Zhao Wutian, enduring excruciating pain, stared at her in horror, "I am... an elder of the Nirvana Sect! You—"

Qin Rushuang laughed, "The Nirvana Sect?"

"That's right! If you dare to touch me, my Nirvana Sect..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Rushuang impatiently struck out with her palm.

"Noisy."

"Boom!"

Zhao Wutian, a Foundation Establishment expert and an outer sect elder of the Nirvana Sect, was annihilated, both body and soul.

Below, the patriarch of the Cloudwater Sect watched this scene and felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat!

Qin Rushuang slowly landed, looked at him, and asked, "Do you know where Dongfang Yueming... no, Dongfang Ri, went?"

"I... I..." The patriarch of the Cloudwater Sect trembled with fear. How could he know? But he felt that if he answered that he didn't know, he would probably follow in Zhao Wutian's footsteps immediately!

In a moment of quick thinking, he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and said, "Senior... Senior! That... Dongfang, he... he should have gone to the City of Chaos!"

[That's right! The Central Domain is so vast; to get there, you'll inevitably have to pass through the City of Chaos!]

"City of Chaos?" Qin Rushuang frowned slightly upon hearing this.

She knew that place was a melting pot of all sorts of people, a place where hidden talents and powerful figures roamed. Among them were many Innate experts with formidable cultivation and profound backgrounds.

[That little fellow, though Bufan talented, is ultimately only at the initial Innate of the Innate Realm...]

A sense of worry rose in her heart.

She remembered her master's instruction. "Let things take their natural course, and don't interfere too much."

but...

No! I'd better go see for myself!

Without the slightest hesitation, she tore through the Xukong, took a step, and vanished from the spot.

Only the patriarch of the Cloudwater Sect remained, standing there as if granted a pardon, letting out a long sigh of relief.
