Su Fuyun's Death
Sang Ying's sword was extraordinary; with a single strike, it shattered Su Fuyun's defensive formation.
The blast wave knocked down the surrounding vegetation and nearly knocked Su Fuyun over.
She barely dodged the sharp Sword Qi, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Sang Ying: "Junior sister, what are you doing? We're from the same sect! Didn't you say you'd let me go during the day?"
Su Fuyun couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her junior sister had actually returned under the cover of night to kill her after saying she would let her go!
How could this be?! How dare Sang Ying?!
"So what if we're from the same sect? Hasn't my senior sister attacked her fellow disciples countless times?" Besides, she's even stabbed Gu Huaiwei; why would she be afraid of Su Fuyun?
The spirit sword trembled incessantly, seemingly unable to suppress its urge to strike.
Sang Ying tossed out an array plate, the best trapping array she had carved in recent years. It could not only trap cultivators below the Nascent Soul, but also conceal the aura of those trapped within, making it impossible for anyone to find their traces.
Almost as soon as the trapping formation was activated, the person inside the jade pendant sensed something was wrong. She had shielded Su Fuyun from too many attacks, and now that Sang Ying, Half-Step Nascent Soul, had made another move, she probably couldn't withstand it!
"Quickly break out of this formation, or your junior sister might really take your life today!" the person inside the jade pendant warned, then seemed to fall into a deep sleep, remaining completely silent.
Su Fuyun was startled by her words and subconsciously followed her instructions.
But how could this trapping formation be broken so easily? Su Fuyun trembled as he took out all the offensive magical Law Artifact and talismans from his Storage Bag, but he could only hear the sound of them colliding with the formation. The trapping formation showed no signs of damage whatsoever.
As Su Fuyun watched Sang Ying's figure slowly approach, she was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She frantically called out to the jade pendant, but the jade pendant that had once brought her endless glory did not give her a single response.
A flash of sword light appeared with a "whoosh".
Su Fuyun tried desperately to dodge, but was still struck by the sword light, leaving a bloody gash on his right shoulder.
She endured the pain and looked at the woman in front of her, never having felt such fear before.
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me! I know a lot about the Mara Gate, I can tell you everything! The Mara Gate's disciples are all ordinary people, but their Spirit Root are strange. Believe me, if you spare my life, I'll tell you even more..."
"No need. I'll investigate these things myself. As for whether what you said is true or false, I can verify it myself. I didn't want to take action so soon, but you insisted on coming along." Sang Ying could no longer tolerate the person in front of her.
The spirit sword was swung again, and Su Fuyun was forced to unleash her power as Golden Core cultivator, frantically dodging within the small confinement formation.
But how could Sang Ying's sword be easily dodged? In just a few breaths, the meridians in her legs were severed.
As Su Fuyun collapsed and could no longer stand, a piercing pain shot through her entire body.
She knew perfectly well that if her meridians were severed, even if she survived, she would probably never be able to stand up again. This realization was more painful than death itself.
But Su Fuyun didn't want to die. "Sang Ying, please let me go. I'll never fight you for Master again. I'll give Master to you, I'll never fight you for him again! I'll give you anything you want... Oh, by the way, everything I did to you before wasn't intentional, someone instructed me. Actually, I really wanted to be your senior sister, really!"
As Sang Ying's sword drew ever closer, Su Fuyun no longer cared about secrets; she only wanted to reveal everything in exchange for a chance to survive.
She stayed with the jade pendant at the Mara Gate for so long and learned too many inside stories.
She once hoped to use these secrets to obtain more Cultivation Resources, but today she probably won't even get a chance to live.
"Who's behind this, directing you?"
Su Fuyun, who thought Sang Ying wouldn't pay any attention to her, suddenly brightened up. She could no longer recall the glory and honor that the jade pendant had once brought her. All she knew was that this was the thing that had pushed her step by step to her doom!
Su Fuyun fiercely ripped off the jade pendant from her neck and gave it to Sang Ying.
Sang Ying didn't catch it; instead, she used the tip of her sword to flick it up.
She still remembered this thing; it was this jade pendant that saved her from killing Su Fuyun several times.
This time, Sang Ying refused to give the jade pendant a chance.
With a flick of the sword tip, the jade pendant fell into the air. Sang Ying then slashed at the jade pendant, unleashing the full pressure of her Golden Core Late Stage.
The jade pendant also sensed the danger, and a cloud of black mist suddenly emerged from it, blocking the terrifying sword strike.
Sang Ying frowned slightly. Since one sword strike wasn't enough to kill him, then she would strike again!
She will not give them any chance of escape today!
Suddenly, ice spikes emerged from the spirit sword. The jade pendant floating in the air sensed the danger, and the black mist surrounding it gradually thickened and surged, like a black sea that was about to swallow Sang Ying whole.
Seeing this scene, Su Fuyun, who had lost the ability to move, felt her heart pound wildly.
Perhaps today, she can kill Sang Ying?!
The thick black mist, carrying an ominous aura, transformed into a colossal black beast, roaring as it bared its sharp teeth at Sang Ying.
Su Fuyun carefully hid in a corner, watching everything before her with a mixture of tension and excitement. She saw the black behemoth pounce on Sang Ying, and she also saw Sang Ying leap into the behemoth's mouth with her sword in hand.
She suppressed her wildly pounding heart, her eyes fixed on the scene.
If only they could die in this battle, Su Fuyun couldn't help but think. She didn't want to be manipulated, nor did she want to be suppressed by Sang Ying for the rest of her life.
If she could, she would want them both to disappear completely from this world!
Unfortunately, Su Fuyun was ultimately disappointed.
A blinding golden light pierced through the giant beast, instantly tearing the terrifying creature to shreds.
When Su Fuyun, enduring the scorching light, looked up again, the jade pendant lay on the ground as if dead, shattered into pieces, and utterly lifeless.
Sang Ying, however, descended from the slowly dissipating black mist, draped in golden light.
Su Fuyun stared intently at her, not wanting to miss a single moment. The familiar golden light was completely concealed after Sang Ying landed, behaving surprisingly obediently.
"This is what you got from the barrier when you were little! You lied to them, you got that treasure!" Su Fuyun exclaimed in shock, her eyes wide. She should have guessed it sooner. This was clearly Sang Ying's most fatal secret, yet she had overlooked it!
Su Fuyun was filled with regret. If she had guessed this, she wouldn't have needed to make a fuss about the Demon Beast. Sang Ying would definitely not have escaped the attacks of those powerful figures!
"Congratulations, you guessed right. But..." It's too late now.
The spirit sword exuded a chilling aura as it approached Su Fuyun inch by inch.
She tried desperately to get away, but her limbs wouldn't obey her commands.
"You injured Master and killed Senior Sister, you will be punished! Sang Ying, you will regret it, you will definitely regret it. Master will not let you go, Master will definitely avenge me, you will never gain Master's favor in this lifetime, you will never gain his favor in this lifetime!"
As soon as the last word was uttered, Su Fuyun's scream abruptly stopped.
Her upper body slowly slumped down, lying on her back on the ground. Her lifeless eyes were filled with resentment, and blood was still flowing from the hole in her chest.
Sang Ying sheathed her sword and shook off the remaining blood.
She looked at the lifeless woman before her and crushed all her past memories.
From this day forward, Su Fuyun will no longer exist in this world...
