Chapter 625: Chapter 312: Slaying the Traitor

Qu Hongling had sensed an aura similar to that of a demon lurking around her as soon as she had awoken from her unconscious state.

Upon seeing the corpses on the ground, she had hinted to Yelü Miaomiao and deliberately staged a play.

Sure enough, the demon was tricked into appearing.

What Qu Hongling hadn’t expected was that the demon had transformed from the woman in black.

"Did you eat that demon egg, and that’s why you turned out like this?"

Qu Hongling asked.

The demonic woman did not respond; in the moment she realized she had been duped, she flicked her snakelike tail. Her tail, swift as a whirlwind sweeping leaves, stirred the surrounding rubble and splattered it towards Yelü Miaomiao.

Then, her figure turned mid-air into a shadow and lunged straight at Qu Hongling.

No matter how Qu Hongling schemed against her, the truth was that her opponent was physically weak at that time, posing far less of a threat than Yelü Miaomiao.

She intended to use all her strength to take Qu Hongling hostage first.

But the next moment, the palanquin burst open, and several flying swords that had been ambushed outside the palanquin stabbed towards the demon from all directions.

The demon was forced to retreat.

Behind her, Yelü Miaomiao swung her palm down.

The demon screamed, her clawed belly pawing at the ground, trying to burrow underneath. But she had only managed to burrow half her body when Yelü Miaomiao grabbed her by the tail and forcefully pulled her out.

"Be careful!"

Qu Hongling suddenly shouted.

Yelü Miaomiao’s instincts kicked in, and she instinctively let go of the demon’s tail. Following that, countless tiny spines shot from the demon’s tail towards her face.

Yelü Miaomiao utilized her Dharma form’s power, forming a shield with her fingers in front of her face.

"Slash!"

Qu Hongling drove the Phoenix Slaying Sword.

The demon howled as a section of her tail was severed.

The severed tail suddenly swelled and then "burst" open, releasing venom that crystallized into numerous blades of Sword Qi, surrounding Yelü Miaomiao and Qu Hongling.

It was then that Qu Hongling remembered her opponent was not a common demon, but a master from the Xuanji Sword Sect.

Even in a demonic form, she could still wield swordsmanship.

"Break!"

Qu Hongling flicked her fingers.

The Phoenix Slaying Sword spun rapidly, dissolving the opponent’s Sword Qi one by one.

Using the severed tail to block the two women, the demon swiftly ran towards the depths of the forest, throwing a section of her severed hand as she ran.

The thrown hand either exploded into a cloud of smoke or transformed into weapons laced with Sword Qi.

This novel method of escape indeed caught Yelü Miaomiao and Qu Hongling off guard; after a few exchanges, they actually let the demon escape, her figure vanishing into the deep forest.

"I refuse to believe that you can escape!"

Yelü Miaomiao dodged an exploding severed arm and skimmed the ground with her toes, rapidly chasing after.

...

The demonic woman, using both hands and feet, deliberately left traces to mislead her pursuers while she quickly navigated through the forest, soon disappearing into the depths of a secluded valley.

This place was rough and rugged with strangely shaped rocks, ideal for hiding.

The demonic woman looked around and chose a spot behind a boulder that jutted out above her.

The demon breathed heavily, black blood continuously seeping from her wounds.

Having been besieged by the four women of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, a single roar of the Lion’s Roar had severely injured her. If it hadn’t been for the supernatural phenomenon that followed, she might not have been able to leave alive.

Now, she was being chased by Qu Hongling and others, escaping in a self-harming manner, having nearly lost half of her life.

She hadn’t expected this opportunity-seeking journey to be so fraught with difficulties.

The woman in black looked at her ugly and maimed body, suddenly feeling a bit lost.

In her pursuit of the so-called Sword Dao, for the position of Sect Leader in the Xuanji Sword Sect, for that bet with Jiang Wan... she wondered, was all of this really worth it?

Recalling the words Jiang Wan had once said to her, the woman’s face twisted fiercely, her expression gradually firming up.

Worth it!

Definitely worth it!

As long as she followed the method recorded in the secret technique, she was certain she could stand at the pinnacle of the Sword Dao.

The demonic woman took a breath, preparing to continue her flight.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly sniffed the air, her cold, reddish eyes slowly shifting to a concave pile of rocks not far to the left.

Dragging her maimed body, she silently moved to the front of the rocks.

There, she found three people hiding.

It was a young bride and groom accompanied by a nervous, knife-wielding big man.

So it was them.

The woman had left the Myriad Phenomena God Sect weak and famished, her cultivation greatly diminished.

To satiate her hunger and recover some cultivation, she had attacked a wedding procession, and while devouring others, a few had run away, including the bride and groom.

The fact that this couple had escaped was all thanks to the knife-wielding big man.

The big man was a cultivator at the level of a first-grade martial artist.

At that time, being weak, she had been cautious of him and didn’t bother to pursue, allowing the big man to rescue the couple.

She hadn’t expected to encounter them here again.

Seeing the groom clutching his foot in pain, it was obvious that his legs were injured, forcing them to rest here.

"If fate wants you dead, only blame your own bad luck."

Seeing the delicious food before her, the demonic woman’s stomach growled and she didn’t hesitate anymore, plunging directly towards them to settle the trouble by attacking the big man first.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the demon, all three were stunned silly.

Especially the groom, who actually wet his pants.

The big man, however, had some courage. He roared angrily, raising his knife and slashing towards the demonic woman’s head.

But the next second, the big man was sent flying backward, crashing against the boulder. Several of his bones fractured, rendering him unable to move.

Even though she was heavily injured, the woman had previously slaughtered many and had now assumed a demonic form, no longer fearing a mere martial fighter like the big man.
