The green-skirted woman’s laughter sounded grating to Mu Anxiao, who turned to look at her, her eyes filled with wariness.
At this moment, victory or defeat had clearly become an afterthought for Mu Anxiao. However, the movement of her sword thrust towards Mu Anxiao had been deeply imprinted in her mind.
Thus, Mu Anxiao couldn’t help but ask, “What are you laughing at?”
Upon hearing this, the smile on the green-skirted woman’s face instantly vanished. Her eyes then turned red as she said profoundly, “It seems you’re ready to get serious.”
“Getting serious, if someone offends me, I will offend them; you forced me.” Mu Anxiao said, glancing down at her own hand glowing with a blue light, she decided to use less magic and more strength.
At the same time, the green-skirted woman also looked at Mu Anxiao’s hand and smiled, “I like this attitude. As long as you win against me, I will…” she snorted, “Let you go, and then…”
“And then what?” Mu Anxiao interrupted, she was ready to compete with the green-skirted woman.
The green-skirted woman: “And then…” she frowned, a sinister grin spreading across her face, “I’ll kill you.”
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao’s face fell, realizing that the poison in the green-skirted woman’s body had begun to spread. Based on her experience, she surmised that the green-skirted woman’s will was no longer under her own control.
From now on, the moves the green-skirted woman used would undoubtedly be the most vicious.
Thinking this, Mu Anxiao swallowed, and before she could even strike a pose, the green-skirted woman charged towards her with her sword raised.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao’s gaze sharpened. She quickly dodged the sword’s attacks from left and right, then turned and ran forward.
The green-skirted woman was relentless and pursued her.
After a minute of evasion, Mu Anxiao suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked up at the green-skirted woman descending from the sky. A smile touched her lips, and she quickly retreated a few steps.
Subsequently, after the green-skirted woman had regained her footing, Mu Anxiao said, “I’ll show you my ultimate move now.” With that, she raised her hand and began to perform a side roll in front of the green-skirted woman.
The green-skirted woman, caught off guard, took two steps back. Just as she thought she was safe, Mu Anxiao approached and kicked the hand holding the sword.
The next second, the sword fell to the ground.
The green-skirted woman staggered back two steps and cried out, “That’s enough.” After speaking, she glanced at her sword.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao landed, steadied herself, and looked down at the long sword lying at her feet, saying, “I’ve had enough.” She felt quite dizzy but pretended to be alright to avoid letting the green-skirted woman see it.
The green-skirted woman spread her hands and conjured a lantern, saying, “You didn’t use any magic at all.”
“I did, otherwise, how could I have run so fast?” Mu Anxiao said, bending down to pick up the long sword and looking at the green-skirted woman, “Thank you for the gift.”
“Truly despicable,” the green-skirted woman said, throwing the lantern directly into the air. Then, she raised a finger, cast a spell on the lantern, and the flame within suddenly converged.
Mu Anxiao felt an ominous premonition as she watched the converged flames.
The woman looked at Mu Anxiao’s fearful expression, snorted, and then shouted, “Go.” The flames exploded with a roar.
In the next moment, the flames seemed to gain life, destroying the lantern and flying towards Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao had never expected the green-skirted woman to use such a move. She quickly dodged while waving her long sword, using it to block the flames.
Unexpectedly, just as she blocked the last flame, the green-skirted woman suddenly appeared before her, “Give me back my sword.” Saying this, the green-skirted woman suddenly grabbed the blade and added, “You made me destroy my lantern; how will you settle this debt?”
Mu Anxiao gripped the sword hilt, looking helplessly at the furious green-skirted woman, and said, “You wanted to harm me, you…” Halfway through her sentence, she inadvertently looked at the green-skirted woman’s bleeding hand and froze.
The green-skirted woman: “You forced me.” Saying this, she raised her other hand and aimed her palm at Mu Anxiao’s face, “Give me back the sword.”
“Give it back,” Mu Anxiao said, glancing at the green-skirted woman’s palm surrounded by red light, “and I’ll be in trouble. I’m not giving it back.”
“The more blood I shed, the deeper my hatred for you will be. I advise you to let go, otherwise,” the green-skirted woman said, “I will truly kill you.”
“If you kill me, then if I give it back to you, you won’t kill me anymore?”
“No.”
“Really?”
“Really.” The green-skirted woman remembered her promise to her sisters, and naturally, she wouldn’t take Mu Anxiao’s life. However, she had taken a liking to Mu Anxiao’s spiritual energy.
However, Mu Anxiao had not noticed the conspiracy between the green-skirted woman and her sisters. Hearing her words now, Mu Anxiao was moved, “Alright, you said it, I’ll trust you this time.” With that, she let go, took a step back, and placed her hands behind her back, deciding to keep a trump card.
Immediately, the green-skirted woman lowered the hand that was aimed at Mu Anxiao’s face. While taking the sword hilt, she removed the hand gripping the blade and gasped, “It does hurt quite a bit.” Saying this, she shook her hand.
Mu Anxiao retreated half a step, observing the green-skirted woman’s actions, her heart beginning to doubt if her words were true or false.
At the same time, Jia appeared beside Mu Anxiao and whispered, “I know.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao temporarily withdrew her gaze from the green-skirted woman and looked down at Jia, asking, “Know what?” Her voice was very low.
The green-skirted woman was using magic to heal her wound, so she didn’t hear Mu Anxiao’s voice.
Jia listened to Mu Anxiao’s question, glanced at the green-skirted woman opposite her who was healing herself, and said, “I know how to detoxify her.”
“Isn’t it to give her a sense of superiority?” Mu Anxiao vaguely recalled Jia’s words.
Jia pulled Mu Anxiao back a few steps and said, “No.”
“Then what is it?” Mu Anxiao asked, still glancing at the green-skirted woman opposite.
Jia: “Kill her.”
“What?” Mu Anxiao’s eyes widened.
“Look,” Jia said, pointing to the green light surrounding the green-skirted woman’s hand, “that’s her healing magic. She can only use it when she’s injured.”
“Healing spell?” Mu Anxiao muttered.
“More powerful than a healing spell.”
“Are you joking?” Mu Anxiao was surprised. Could three layers of spiritual energy be so powerful?
“Yes, this is the Rebirth Technique. If I’m not mistaken, she has three chances of rebirth,” Jia said, staring at the green-skirted woman.
Mu Anxiao had never heard of the Rebirth Technique, so hearing Jia say it so suddenly, she froze.
Jia saw that Mu Anxiao wasn’t speaking and asked with confusion, “Don’t you believe me?” He tilted his head to look at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao pursed her lips, “Am I not the most powerful cultivator? How could she be more powerful than me?” She couldn’t accept this reality.
Jia’s expression stiffened, and he said, “There’s always someone better, and there are always new horizons. Anyone can be better than you, don’t be discouraged.” Saying this, he patted Mu Anxiao’s arm.
Mu Anxiao had always thought of herself as a genius. Hearing Jia say this now, she suddenly felt a blow, and lowered her head.
