Sang Ying's Surprise Attack

This was the first time Sang Ying had faced the man in black robes in several months.

The other party, seemingly convinced that they had accomplished all their schemes, boldly exposed their face to the sunlight.

Even though she had just experienced Jiang Zhuoxue's attack not long ago, Gu Huaiwei showed no fear whatsoever. She even sat casually in the main seat of the Mara Gate's main hall, blending into the noble-looking chair.

Sang Ying found him with almost no effort, and immediately drew her sword to meet the man in black upon seeing him.

Her appearance was so sudden that even Qi Yaoji and the others didn't notice her presence. By the time everyone realized that an outsider had intruded, Sang Ying had already cleaved half of the main hall's roof open with her sword and was directly striking the man in black robes.

Although the man in black robes was prepared, he was still no match for Sang Ying's attack, which left a long gash on his shoulder.

However, the black-robed man's physique was now special, and his injuries healed in no time without him losing a single drop of blood.

Taking advantage of the situation, Sang Ying jumped onto the chair where the man in black had been sitting, looking down at his familiar face. "He really is a monster."

Although Sang Ying had heard about this person's strangeness from Jiang Zhuoxue before, she only truly understood how terrifying he was after seeing him in person.

He didn't seem like a real person, but rather like a moving and talking puppet. After all, there's no living creature in the world that doesn't bleed when it's injured.

"Yes, I am a monster, but the monster in front of you is your master." Gu Huaiwei's gaze towards Sang Ying was even somewhat gentle.

If someone didn't know their identities, they might really think this was the look a master gives his disciple.

But Sang Ying knew perfectly well. "I did have a master named Gu Huaiwei, who looked exactly like you, but he died hundreds of years ago."

She even handled the body herself; there was absolutely no chance of it coming back to life.

"And if I remember correctly, you sealed Gu Huaiwei's memories, and even Su Fuyun was created by your people." Sang Ying wouldn't forget this. Although she didn't really care that her master was taken away, it always made Sang Ying unhappy that someone else had touched what should have been hers.

Gu Huaiwei clearly didn't think it was his fault. He even tilted his head, looking puzzled, and said, "I was trying to help you. He was never suitable to be your master. Look how well you're doing now..."

"So you think my current strength is all thanks to you?" Sang Ying interrupted Gu Huaiwei impatiently, her eyes seemingly burning with fire.

Gu Huaiwei, however, was completely unconcerned by her questioning, and even felt like laughing.

"You don't need to be so angry. You'll find out how much I've helped you later," Gu Huaiwei said with a smile as she dodged Sang Ying's attacks.

Sang Ying's current power is beyond that of ordinary people; she is already a true Demigod. Even though she is still far from being a true god, she is in no way inferior to Gu Huaiwei.

The tentacles behind Gu Huaiwei were his ultimate weapon. There were ten tentacles in total, and before his fight with Jiang Zhuoxue, no one knew that Gu Huaiwei actually had tentacles on his body.

Even after they found out, they still didn't know the number of tentacles.

However, at this moment, Gu Huaiwei could only desperately release all of her tentacles in order to barely block Sang Ying's continuous attacks.

If Sang Ying's swordsmanship used to have only form but no spirit, now Sang Ying can make the sword move at will, and even create a sword formation on her own.

Having survived the tribulation, the Dragon Abyss Sword was even more powerful than before. Its scattered sword shadows rained down on the high-level Devil Race who were rushing to the scene.

Anyone caught in the rain of swords could die under its shadow if they are not careful.

Meanwhile, Sang Ying, who created this rain of swords, was still locked in fierce combat with Gu Huaiwei, wielding the Dragon Abyss Sword itself.

Gu Huaiwei also realized that Sang Ying was not someone he could easily defeat now, but the time was not right, and he could not die yet.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Huaiwei had no choice but to abandon Qi Yaoji and the others, and turn to fly into the sky.

Sang Ying was unwilling to let them go so easily. Before chasing after them, she quickly instructed Jiang Zhuoxue, "Ignore them and go find my parents. Don't worry, you are now my dao companion. No matter what others do, they will protect you for me!"

Jiang Zhuoxue was taken aback. He was indeed somewhat worried that appearing in front of Sang Zheng and the others in his current state would cause trouble. But that didn't mean he wasn't strong enough or would be bullied.

However, Jiang Zhuoxue was inexplicably happy to hear Sang Ying say that her family would help protect him.

Jiang Zhuoxue only had time to reply to Sang Ying, "Don't worry, I'll go find Uncle Sang right away," before Sang Ying had already chased after Gu Huaiwei's figure and left.

Inside the Mara Gate, both the high-ranking Devil Race left to guard the gate and the cultivators who followed Qi Yaoji and her father in committing evil deeds lost their ability to resist under the rain of swords.

Jiang Zhuoxue did not leave immediately. He waited until Jian Yu had dealt with everyone here and Jian Ying had disappeared before leaping away from this place that he loathed.

Jiang Zhuoxue's figure quickly disappeared, and the corpses of those high-level Devil Race on the jade bricks Mara Gate also vanished in the blink of an eye.

After an unknown amount of time, the several lifeless corpses suddenly twitched violently, revealing a face stained with blood.

The woman struggled to crawl out from under the corpses; she had many sword wounds on her body and was still bleeding profusely.

But the woman didn't bother to treat her injuries; she just rummaged through the pile of corpses.

She stopped when she saw that familiar face.

Qi Yaoji reached out and touched the male corpse in front of her. Only after confirming that he was no longer breathing did she shed tears.

She carefully leaned close to the corpse's ear and swore, "Father, don't worry, I will make those who used and hurt us regret it!"

Gu Huaiwei is a scoundrel; he deceived them from beginning to end. Sang Ying is a despicable woman too; she could have just killed Gu Huaiwei and those Devil Race, but she refused to spare the father and daughter.

At this moment, Qi Yaoji not only resented Gu Huaiwei, but also Sang Ying!

She kowtowed to Gate Master Qi, then turned and left the Mara Gate.

She can no longer stay here. With Sang Ying's current abilities, the Mara Gate will likely be breached soon. If she continues to stay, those self-proclaimed righteous people will certainly not let her go.

Thinking this, Qi Yaoji quickened her pace. She left with a heart full of resentment, wondering what kind of trouble she would cause when she reappeared.
