Free Web NovelChapter 357: Chapter 357: Don’t Talk Nonsense, It Affects the Speed of My Blade
Blood stained her snow-white animal-hide clothes.
Kunlin’s pupils contracted. He felt a strange, sharp pain in his chest and immediately dove downward.
Huang Ying felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"System, am I still celebrating too early now? Look at these villains, they’re going crazy! The scenes to come will be seared into their minds forever!"
"Then congratulations are in order. After all this time, you’re finally taking the second step."
Just as the male’s sharp claws were about to pierce Qiao Xixi’s body again, they stopped less than a hand’s breadth away from her.
The male’s eyes widened in astonishment. In the next instant, his pupils contracted violently.
His eyes bulged as he looked down at his own body in disbelief.
Blood gushed out a moment later!
The male’s hand went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
This sudden turn of events left Huang Ying stunned. Before she could react, Qiao Xixi was in front of her, plunging a sharp bone knife into her body.
Huang Ying’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring in shock at the now-awake Qiao Xixi.
"You... you..."
Qiao Xixi thrust her arm forward with force, ensuring the blade would pierce straight through her heart.
"Huang Ying, you should have died a long time ago!"
"Young City Lord!"
The turn of events was too sudden. When Kunqi came to his senses, he immediately abandoned Qiao Lie and the others to save Huang Ying.
Qiao Xixi’s gaze swept over him, and she raised a hand.
"Water."
Droplets of blood were drawn from her body, suspending themselves in mid-air.
"Fire."
The blood droplets shot out like sharp arrows, flying toward Kunqi and the other beastmen who were trying to advance.
"Mother!"
Qiao Lie and the others scrambled to their feet and ran to Qiao Xixi’s side.
Qiao Xixi gave them a reassuring nod. "Get behind me."
"No, we want to fight alongside you, Mother."
Qiao Xixi’s eyes flickered. ’My cubs have truly grown up.’
The tiger cub broke free from Huang Ying’s grasp and leaped into Qiao Xixi’s arms.
"AWOOO! *Whimper*..."
"System, quick, get me out of here! Hurry!"
"I told you not to celebrate too early, but you wouldn’t listen."
"Less talk, more action! Hurry up!"
A white mist suddenly rose around Huang Ying’s body.
Qiao Xixi’s eyes darkened, and she tightened her grip on Huang Ying’s neck.
But Huang Ying just sneered. "Qiao Xixi, you can’t kill me."
Qiao Xixi pulled out the bone knife and looked at her coldly. "If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!"
She released her, and Huang Ying’s body rose into mid-air.
Qiao Xixi spread her arms, chanting an incantation as a gust of wind suddenly picked up.
"Wind."
A tornado swept in, nearly blowing away the white mist around Huang Ying. Floating in mid-air, she was brought to a halt.
"Rebirth countdown: 10, 9, 8..."
Huang Ying’s eyes widened in surprise. "Why am I still here?"
"6, 5..."
"System, get my body out of this damn place now!"
"I’m already on it, but the sudden, powerful wind is interfering with my energy. You—run as soon as the countdown ends!"
The wind was so strong one could barely open their eyes, and Huang Ying’s body remained suspended in mid-air.
"1. Countdown complete. Host has been reborn."
Huang Ying gasped for air. The wound in her chest had completely healed.
She flapped her wings, trying to escape the windy area.
Watching her, Qiao Xixi’s lips curled into a smile. ’Just as I thought. Reborn.’
"Wind."
Qiao Xixi rode the wind, appearing behind Huang Ying.
Huang Ying’s heart skipped a beat. She flapped her wings, trying to fly away, but the wind trapped her in a vortex, and she couldn’t escape no matter how hard she tried.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the bone knife once again pierced her heart from behind.
"No!"
Kunqi and the others stared at the sky in disbelief, watching as Qiao Xixi pierced Huang Ying’s heart again and again.
They wanted to go and save her, but the moment they moved, blood droplets shot toward them.
"Host, rebirth countdown initiated."
"System, help me! Help me think of something! I can’t die, I can’t die!"
The system’s voice replied, still devoid of any emotion. "Huang Ying, you have two lives left."
"10... 1. Host, reborn."
"Qiao Xixi!"
"Die."
Qiao Xixi raised her bone knife and advanced again. ’This is the second to last time,’ she thought. ’One more death after this, and Huang Ying will vanish from this world for good.’
"Qiao Xixi, wait! I have something to say to you!"
Expressionless, Qiao Xixi thrust the bone knife forward.
"I don’t want to hear a single word of nonsense that gets in the way of me killing you."
Huang Ying’s pupils dilated instantly. She looked at the bone knife once again buried in her chest and gaped. "You... you’re so... heartless..."
"System, I don’t want to be reborn! I don’t want it anymore!"
"What, have you accepted your defeat? Planning to go back?"
"No, I’ll never admit defeat! You never said there was a time limit on rebirth. I don’t want to be reborn immediately. Let me stay dead for a while!"
The system went silent for a moment.
Seeing it remain silent, Huang Ying started to panic. If she was reborn again right now, Qiao Xixi would definitely kill her on the spot, and then it would really be over for her!
"Say something!"
"There is indeed no time limit, but it must be done before your physical body rots away."
"Good, good!"
Qiao Xixi pulled out the bone knife, waiting for Huang Ying’s final rebirth.
But the time she had counted silently in her head passed, and there was still no movement from Huang Ying.
Qiao Xixi’s expression darkened. ’Did I miscount just now?’
She quickly dismissed the thought. She had counted each time she killed her; there was absolutely no way she could be wrong.
But twice the amount of time passed, and Huang Ying still didn’t wake.
Qiao Xixi also noticed something was wrong. She grabbed Huang Ying and slowly descended to the ground.
"Young City Lord!"
Seeing Huang Ying collapse limply on the ground, Kunqi cried out in terror.
Kunlin coughed up a mouthful of blood. Huang Ying was his female master, and although they hadn’t formally become mates, he would still suffer from backlash if something happened to her.
"You... you killed the Young City Lord!"
Kunqi’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Qiao Xixi with fury. At that moment, he realized that the person before him was no weak female. He had been careless!
Qiao Xixi’s blue eyes shifted, slowly landing on Kunqi.
"A moment ago, you hurt my cubs."
Qiao Xixi raised both hands.
"Wind."
Kunqi’s pupils contracted as a massive gust of wind rushed toward his face.
"Brother!"
Seeing this, Kunlin rushed forward and spread his wings to block the massive gust of wind heading for Clan Leader Kunqi.
"Brother, you have to take the beastmen of Wing Beast City and leave."
"Kunlin! Yaya is still in their hands! And she killed the Young City Lord! I can’t just leave!"
"No, Yaya is in the city. I’m the one who took her back. You’ve... all been deceived by Huang Ying... She... she stole the City Lord’s Crystal Stone and acted on her own..."
"What?"
"Go, hurry! I’ll hold them off! Go... and explain the situation to the City Lord!"
