Free Web NovelSuolang Baima had long been unable to tolerate Jiang Li trailing behind him like a ghost, and seized the opportunity at this moment, launching a thunderous strike.
The instant he drew his curved saber, his Spirit Mark expanded to its limit, a fierce wind suddenly appeared, and faint Sanskrit chants could be heard within the wind.
Suolang Baima's burly figure seemed to vanish into the howling wind and snow as he charged fiercely towards Jiang Li, like a ferocious white dragon rolling across the earth.
"Damned woman, you like following this Grandpa, huh? See how I kill you!"
Accompanied by Suolang Baima's low roar, a chilling air swept over, and Jiang Li instantly snapped back to attention. The burly figure in front of her coalesced from the wind and snow, and the golden curved saber in his hand ruthlessly slashed down towards her face.
Seeing this, Jiang Li gritted her silver teeth, forcibly enduring the constant pain brought by the black sun totem, took a step back, and hastily raised the long saber in her hand to guard her front.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Li's action drew a cold snort from Suolang Baima. With a twist of his wrist, the vertically cleaving saber strike instantly changed, slashing diagonally onto the long saber.
"Clang—!"
The sound of intense metal collision suddenly erupted, followed immediately by a sharp, ear-piercing noise.
The moment their weapons clashed, Suolang Baima, leveraging the dual suppression of strength and Spiritual Energy fluctuations, forcibly pressed down the long saber Jiang Li was holding in front of her chest. The blade spun, sliding along the body of the long saber, moving upwards and sending up a string of dazzling sparks.
"Bang—!"
The sound of air being torn apart exploded.
At the critical moment, Jiang Li used the saber guard to block Suolang Baima's curved saber heading straight for her. The saber guard and the curved saber collided head-on, and the Spiritual Energy fluctuations transmitted through the weapons in their hands crashed into each other, instantly causing a strong impact.
The air current, mixed with fierce poison and biting wind and snow, cut outwards like a ring blade, leveling the mountains and forests within a radius of nearly fifty meters with destructive force.
Under the strong impact, Jiang Li flew backward, while simultaneously chanting the incantation for a Spell at high speed.
"Carving gold, glass, and jade, the slanted sun formation, like a platform of gems..."
"Night Watch's defensive precision Spell 【Golden Glass Platform】? Heh heh!"
As a defector from the Night Watch, Suolang Baima instantly recognized the Spell Jiang Li was casting and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
How could a mere precision Spell possibly block his attack?
While laughing coldly, he didn't stop moving. His legs crossed, his waist slightly bent, and he pounced forward like a fierce beast. The long saber in his hand swept horizontally again, using the momentum.
In an instant, his Spirit Mark lit up behind him, and the phantom of a nine-colored lotus flashed behind him. Spiritual Energy, majestic like a sacred mountain in a snowy region, was guided along his bulging muscles and poured into the curved saber, transforming the power of the Spirit Mark into a vast, pale arc light with the momentum of an avalanche.
At the same time, Jiang Li also completed the Spell incantation. Accompanied by the surging Spiritual Energy fluctuations, nine golden, radiant glass platforms broke through the soil and rose from the ground.
The pale arc light swept across, and the glass platforms collapsed one after another, emitting explosions. Instantly, fierce light enveloped the mountain forest.
It's over...
Looking at the raging blizzard ahead, Suolang Baima muttered to himself. Just then, a sound like horse hooves striking stone slabs suddenly rang in his ears.
Slightly stunned for a moment, he found the source of the sound and abruptly looked up.
He saw a silver-white figure stepping on the glass platforms that were about to shatter and dissipate, leaping several meters, crossing over his head, and then plummeting down. The long saber in her hand tore through his sheepskin coat, leaving a hideous bloody mark on his back.
【Mythical Species · Chiron's Kin】 Spirit Mark unfolded, Hydra poison released!

"Interesting."
Looking at the mountain forest enveloped in fierce light, Berses, hidden in the shadows, murmured, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
An attack of this level, while not enough to kill Jiang Li, was sufficient to severely injure her. Now, he only needed to walk over and could easily take away the severely injured Jiang Li.
"Yes, it's quite interesting."
Just as Berses was about to get up, a soft, girlish voice suddenly entered his ears. He turned around in surprise, and his pupils instantly contracted violently.
Behind him, a round-faced girl, wearing a small red cloak, with chestnut-colored long hair, chewing on spicy strips, and carrying a broken sword on her shoulder, had appeared at some unknown point.
Neither he nor the mysterious substance on his body had detected the girl's arrival.
And the instant he turned around, the broken sword in the girl's hand was already whistling towards his face. When he tried to dodge, he discovered that a pile of sealing Spells had been set up around him at some point, and his face immediately turned pale. freёwebnovel.com
Not good, I can't dodge!
Wait, no...
Berses had just realized that the girl was smashing him with the body of the sword, not slashing with the blade. Before he could even think about why she would do such a thing, his forehead vibrated, and a tearing pain came from his brain.
A strange impact force, transmitted through the blade, directly ignored the instinctive protection of his flesh and blood and Spiritual Energy, poured into his skull, and churned his brain into mush, plunging his vision into instant darkness.
Watching Berses's skull, under the blow of Lingtai Pure Karma, actually emit an explosive sound inside his cranium, and then blood mixed with brain tissue gushed out from his nostrils and slightly parted lips, Lu Yibei was startled and hurriedly jumped back two or three meters.
What the heck? What's going on? When others get hit, they just faint directly, maybe bleed a little at most. Why did your skull just explode? Lu Yibei thought, looking at the corpse on the ground and falling into contemplation.
She had rushed here just now and saw that Jiang Li was in a tough fight. She originally wanted to step in and help immediately, but just as she was about to act, she discovered this Psychic hiding in the shadows, peeping, whose identity was unknown.
So, Lu Yibei, without a word, thoughtfully arranged a sealing Spell grand package for him, with a complimentary Lingtai Pure Karma head massage.
The result...
I really didn't intend to kill him. I just acted because I was worried he would ambush Jiang Li. This was all Lingtai Pure Karma's doing.
If I had just knocked him out, wouldn't adding him to my Monster Story Chat Group bounty Website shop be more appealing?
Lu Yibei thought, adhering to the principle that if you kill someone, you must kill them completely, and if you send them off, you send them straight to heaven, and was just about to perform a one-stop service of killing, cremating, and burying Berses's corpse.
Just then, Jiang Li, not far away, let out a violent cough.
Hearing the sound, Lu Yibei's heart tightened. She looked up and saw Jiang Li's abdominal armor twisted and deformed, collapsing against a broken tree. With each cough, a few streaks of bright red seeped from the corner of her mouth. She had clearly lost her combat ability, while Suolang Baima was staggering, dragging his curved saber, and walking towards her.
After all, Suolang Baima was an A+ class Psychic. Although his combat methods were slightly lacking, his Spiritual Energy level was not bad. The Hydra poison carried on Jiang Li's blade was actually temporarily suppressed by him using Spiritual Energy.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei gave the fallen Berses a fierce look, quickly withdrew her gaze, then used her movement technique and rushed forward with her sword drawn.
Although not finishing him off went against her code of conduct, but...
What time is it?
To hell with finishing him off, to hell with the code!
Just as Lu Yibei turned and ran towards Jiang Li, Berses's wide-open eyes suddenly shifted, and then with a soft "plop," the eyeballs, dragging flesh and blood, burst out of their sockets, wriggled and crawled, and escaped into the pitch-black mountain forest...
----
His vision blurring in waves, Suolang Baima panted heavily, staggering towards Jiang Li.
He had almost, just almost, died by Jiang Li's saber.
The pain brought by the Hydra poison, enough to make even gods abandon life, constantly stung his nerves, driving him almost mad.
He didn't even know if he could survive after killing Jiang Li.
But he knew that as long as Jiang Li was alive, he wouldn't have a shred of hope for survival.
Thus, he slowly raised the curved saber in his hands, called upon his last shred of Spiritual Energy, and fiercely slashed towards Jiang Li.
"Puff—!"
The soft sound of flesh being torn rang out, bright red blood splattered, and the air was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.

Suolang Baima's eyes widened as he watched his arm fly into the air, spinning and splattering large amounts of blood mist, finally disappearing from sight. The next moment, he received a heavy blow from the side, sending his entire body flying into the air before he crashed heavily onto the ground, splashing a mixture of blood and melted snow.
Lu Yibei kicked Suolang Baima away, and without caring about whether he lived or died, immediately rushed to Jiang Li's side. While fumbling to pull out several test tubes filled with something like mercury potion from her jacket pocket and bringing them to Jiang Li's mouth, she grumbled in a low voice.
"Didn't I tell you? If the situation isn't right, you can just let him go..."
Jiang Li avoided Lu Yibei's gaze, her eyes falling on the potion test tubes in her hand, trying to change the subject, "This seems to be Night Watch's standard potion..."
"The Superintendent Adult just forced it on me," Lu Yibei explained, continuing to scold, "His Spiritual Energy fluctuation level is two small levels higher than yours. Why are you picking a fight with him for no reason? Killing people beyond your level is something only protagonists can do, didn't you know?"
"..." Jiang Li looked at Lu Yibei with a resentful gaze, not saying a word, nor drinking the potion she brought to her lips, as if she was sulking.
"What's wrong? Don't have the strength to drink it anymore? Fine! Then I'll feed you, alright?" Lu Yibei said, and then raised a tube of potion, poured it into her mouth, and then leaned towards Jiang Li.
"Tsk!" Jiang Li's face was slightly red, and she spat, pushing Lu Yibei away with both hands, and taking the remaining potion from her hand, muttering, "How do you feed someone like that?"
"Why not? In novels, isn't that how they feed medicine to paralyzed people?"
Jiang Li rolled her eyes, pulled the stopper out of a test tube, and poured the mercury-like potion into her mouth. Her slender, long neck's throat subtly rippled. After adjusting her breath for a moment, the color gradually returned to her face.
At this moment, she turned her head to look at Suolang Baima, who had fallen to the ground, and calmly asked, "Him, how do you plan to deal with him?"
Lu Yibei followed Jiang Li's gaze, frowned, and thought for a moment. She took a tube of potion from Jiang Li's hand, stood up, walked over, used the tip of her foot to turn Suolang Baima's body over, then bent down and pried open his mouth, poured the potion into his mouth, and then used Spiritual Energy to guide the potion into his abdomen.
Facts proved that even when facing a paralyzed or unconscious person, it wasn't necessary to do mouth-to-mouth. She just wanted to take advantage of the situation earlier.
Seeing this, Jiang Li was startled, and said in surprise, "You, what are you doing? If his injuries recover..."
"Don't worry, it's better if he recovers!" Lu Yibei turned to look at Jiang Li and said, "If he's injured, I'm worried he won't last until I'm done with my methods, and that would be too easy on him."
"Oh right, if the poison on your knife isn't neutralized, it won't kill him quickly, right? If there's a risk of killing him, please neutralize it first."
"..." Jiang Li stared at Lu Yibei in silence, speechless for a moment.
Although Lu Yibei's tone was so flat when she spoke, and there wasn't a ripple on her face, at this moment, her figure made people feel a chill down their spines.
After a long silence, she slowly raised her long knife, gave it a slight shake, and with a hum, she neutralized the poison in Suolang Baima's body.
Under the double torment of the Hydra poison and excessive blood loss, Suolang Baima had already lost consciousness, but as the poison dissipated and the potion entered his body and began to take effect, he quickly woke up.
He opened his mouth wide, as if he had been rescued from drowning, and gasped for air. Then, when he saw the face of the young girl in front of him clearly, he suddenly widened his eyes.
"You, it's you! You're the one from last time..."
"That's right, it's me," Lu Yibei interrupted.
"Who exactly are you?! Why did you..."
"Why did I attack you?" Lu Yibei interrupted again with a blank expression, "Didn't I tell you last time? I'm a passing Demoness, and you interrupted me watching a movie, so you must die."
Lu Yibei would not tell Suolang Baima the real reason, as that would make his death too quick.
Someone like Suolang Baima surely understood the principle of "what goes around comes around." While constantly killing, he was always mentally prepared to kill enemies who came seeking revenge, or to be killed by enemies seeking revenge.
Lu Yibei wanted him to feel that his death was completely meaningless and inexplicable.
"..."
What the hell, interrupting her watching a movie!
How could there be a person or urban legend in this world who would become enemies with someone for such a reason, even to the death?
Suolang Baima glared at Lu Yibei, breathing heavily, feeling as if there was a ball of pus and blood stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down.
He stared intently into Lu Yibei's eyes, trying to see something in them, but found that her eyes were as calm as a lake without ripples.
She didn't seem angry at all, as if she was really just casually teaching a lesson to a thug who had interrupted her watching a movie.
Finally, Suolang Baima couldn't bear it any longer, and struggled to get up, letting out a low growl, "You motherfucker..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Lu Yibei softly say to him, "Look into my eyes."
As she spoke, the Charm Ability and the Dream Entering Ability were simultaneously used to their maximum extent. A distortion of light and shadow immediately appeared within the range of her gaze.
That extremely seductive voice entered Suolang Baima's ears. For a moment, he almost forgot Miss Rabbit's warning to him and subconsciously met Lu Yibei's gaze, and then his consciousness became momentarily hazy.
"Poof—!"
The moment his consciousness became hazy, Suolang Baima raised his hand without hesitation and pierced his own eyes.
It worked, I dodged it. As long as I don't look at her, she can't affect me.
Suolang Baima was thinking thankfully, when at this moment, Lu Yibei's whispered murmur, like a demon's low voice, sounded in his ears.
"Heh, did you forget? Your hand was already cut off by me!"
That's right, it was cut off... Then I just...
Suolang Baima muttered to himself. The moment he realized his consciousness had fallen under Lu Yibei's control, a bright light suddenly stung his eyes, and his pupils constricted violently, shrinking to a point.
"So, let's see what the most terrifying thing deep in your heart is?" Lu Yibei said softly to Suolang Baima.
Along with Lu Yibei's whisper, Suolang Baima suddenly felt a wet sensation on his face, as if raindrops were hitting his face. The coldness carried by the raindrops instantly sobered him up. He focused his gaze forward, and then...
He saw that rainy night.
In the pouring rain, everything was blurred, but Suolang Baima saw something darker than the night, like a formless mist, stretching in the sky.
They displayed a transcendent scale in time and space, defying logic everywhere, as if living in a distorted, strange, and chaotic space without order.
Immediately after, something shrieked in his ear, every sound distorted and filled with an undeniable sense of malice.
Although he didn't see anything with a physical form, fear instantly took root in his mind, like a shadow, a fear ten times more intense than the most terrifying nightmare, drilling out of every cell in his body, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
Just then, the illusion in front of Suolang Baima came to an abrupt halt.
Lu Yibei also didn't know what kind of ghost thing Suolang Baima saw that scared him so much. She had only magnified the thing he feared the most and presented it before him.
She tried to understand what appeared in Suolang Baima's dream, but even she, the one who constructed the dream, was affected by those illusions. After a while, she started to feel dizzy and nauseous, almost fainting, and had to temporarily stop the illusions.
"..."
Suolang Baima stared blankly at Lu Yibei, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Then he let out a heart-wrenching scream, "Please, kill me! Kill me quickly! Don't let me see that thing again."
Lu Yibei adjusted her state, looked at Suolang Baima with icy eyes, pressed her hands tightly on his forehead, and only said two words. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"No."
————
In the distance, Jiang Li looked at Lu Yibei with deep meaning in her eyes, her brows furrowed.
She could see that Lu Yibei was using some kind of hallucinatory method on Suolang Baima, tormenting him mentally, but she couldn't imagine what kind of illusion Lu Yibei had shown him.
When Suolang Baima was immersed in the illusion, he looked like he was having an epileptic ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) seizure, his eyes rolled back and bulged outwards, his body convulsed violently, he cried out in pain, and let out chilling screams.
And just when she thought Lu Yibei would scare Suolang Baima to death like this, Lu Yibei stopped for a moment, and after a minute, pulled him back into the illusion again.
Jiang Li, "..."
Looking at such a scene, she suddenly thought of a poem - "I could have endured the darkness, if I had not seen the light."
And what Lu Yibei was doing now was like constantly showing Suolang Baima a faint light, and then constantly making him fall into the deepest darkness.
The methods were extremely cruel.
