Chapter 1492: Chapter 1590: The Black Dress Reappears

“What about me?” A frigid voice rang out, carrying an unimaginable dignity and momentum, as though the very heavens and earth were trembling at the appearance of the woman in black.

Dugu Nian’s pupils shrank, and his expression immediately darkened. The woman had ultimately revealed herself, and the situation had developed to the point Dugu Nian least wanted to see.

When the four masked individuals inside the Sky Swallowing Palace saw the woman in black, they were also shocked and rushed forward, positioning themselves in front of Dugu Nian, shielding her with their bodies, and vigilantly watching the woman in black.

As members of the three sects, all four had also witnessed the terrifying power of the woman in black seven years prior. Her reemergence now was undoubtedly an ill omen.

“Do you four think you can stop me?” The woman in black looked at the four masked individuals with disdain, her tone utterly cold.

The masked individuals, including the Snake Mask Man, exchanged glances, each feeling a weighty sense of foreboding. The strength of the woman in black was too overpowering. Although the four of them were among the best in Great Longevity, and could barely touch the threshold of Half-step Immortal, facing this woman in black seemed far from enough.

Even a true Half-step Immortal would be hard-pressed to withstand this woman in black, let alone the four of them.

Below, the Old Emperor Qin and Old Yuan Emperor, upon seeing this woman in black, felt as if they had seen a savior. Originally filled with despair, they now had a flicker of hope in their eyes.

“Fortunately, this final move was not miscalculated. As long as this person has appeared, we may be saved, and the Sky Swallowing Palace shall still be brought down.” The Green Robe Guest lay on the ground bleeding from his mouth, yet there was a relieved smile on his face.

“Fairy is dead, the executioner is finished, and an old farmer like me almost died too – damn it all!” The old farmer regained some strength and cursed, but the effort caused a surge of blood to come forth.

The South Zodiac King and North Spirit King looked at the woman in black with mixed emotions. They could not have expected that these strong figures from the Nine Countries would end up relying on someone from the Seven Seas for rescue–what sort of situation was this?

However, it seemed that this woman’s appearance was orchestrated by the Hidden Kill Hall.

But the Western Moon King hadn’t informed the two kings of this woman’s impending arrival. Perhaps the Western Moon King intentionally kept it secret, or the Hidden Kill Hall had not informed the Western Moon King of the woman in black’s appearance.

Now that the Western Moon King was dead, the South Zodiac King and North Spirit King didn’t even know if they could survive. While they didn’t wish to die, if they did die here, it wouldn’t matter much. At least they would have done one last thing for the Pill Alliance. The Pill Alliance still had the East Pole Heaven King, and as long as he lived, the Pill Alliance would not fall.

“Hall Master, you should leave this place first, while we four hold her off,” the Snake Mask Man said to Dugu Nian.

“Leave? Do you think you can?” The woman in black sneered, waving her hand and enveloping a thousand-mile radius with an array.

The four masked individuals’ expressions changed drastically–the woman in black had even brought a Formation with her, intending to wipe them out completely.

“Heh heh, you’ve come at the right time. I have wanted to slaughter you seven years ago, and now you have delivered yourself to my door,” Dugu Nian suddenly said, his blood-red eyes firmly fixed on the woman in black as if he wished to devour her alive.

The four masked individuals were anxious as they could see that Dugu Nian was not in a good state and had no chance of winning against this woman in black.

Moreover, the woman in black was extraordinarily strong; even if Dugu Nian were in prime condition, he might not be her match, let alone now after a great battle. His reserves and condition were simply unable to persist.

In the eyes of the four masked individuals, Dugu Nian’s current words were clearly just blustering, also because he harbored a deep-seated hatred for the woman in black.

After all, if it weren’t for this woman in black, Fang Lin would not have perished in the flesh, and she would not have ended up in her present state.

Over the past seven years, the two things Dugu Nian most wanted to do were, one, to see Fang Lin, and two, to ascend to the Seven Seas three sect and exterminate this woman in the black dress.

Now that the woman in the black dress had appeared, how could Dugu Nian not be furious? Naturally, she wanted to fight to the death and decapitate her.

How could you stir up any trouble in front of me now when you were already defeated by me seven years ago?” The woman in the black dress said disdainfully.

“You’ve lost a hand? It seems that these seven years have not been very prosperous for you.” Dugu Nian mocked.

These words instantly enraged the woman in the black dress, for the loss of her arm was a pain that could never be restored. Being reminded of it by Dugu Nian naturally provoked extreme rage.

“Little girl, no one can save you today; you won’t be allowed to live any longer.” The killing intent of the woman in the black dress was chilling.

The four Masked Men knew that a battle was inevitable, and immediately summoned all their strength to engage in a deadly fight with the woman in the black dress.

“Seeking death? I’ll grant it to the four of you.” With a cold shout from the woman in the black dress, a boundless aura was released, causing the four Masked Men to feel as if they were stuck in a quagmire, their movements heavy and sluggish.

Heaven and Earth One Sword!

The Phoenix Head Mask Man brandished a sword that radiated brilliant sword light, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to forcibly break the black dress woman’s restraint on them.

“The Heaven Earth Sword of the Confucian sect? How dare you flaunt your slight skills before an expert?” The woman in the black dress laughed heartily, waving her hand and grasping a longsword, directly attacking the Phoenix Head Mask Man.

The latter was not intimidated and swung his sword to meet the attack. With the realm of the pinnacle of Great Longevity, he clashed head-on with an Immortal powerhouse.

And the moves deployed by the woman in the black dress turned out to be from the Heaven Earth Sword of the Confucian sect as well, and her finesse was in no way inferior to that of the Phoenix Head Mask Man.

“Not bad at all, you have honed the Heaven Earth Sword to such a level, indeed you are the most outstanding of this lineage. But it’s a pity that you must die today, no matter whether you are an heir of the Heaven Earth Sword or not.” As the woman in the black dress spoke, the sword moves in her hand transformed, no longer following the style of the Heaven Earth Sword but instead employing the Yin-Yang Sword of the Taoist Sect.

Despite the Phoenix Head Mask Man’s profound strength and high attainment in the sword arts, ranking within the top three at that time, he was still no match for the black dress woman, whose power was unfathomable and whose realm completely surpassed his own.

With one sword strike, the Phoenix Head Mask Man could not withstand it and was pierced in the abdomen by the longsword, blood gushing out.

Seeing this, the Lion Mask Man activated the Taoist Sect’s secret skill, attempting to restrain the woman in the black dress with the power of array.

“Ridiculous!” With a flick of her finger, the woman in the black dress shattered the Lion Mask Man’s newly formed array with the most direct force and broke his Peach Wood Sword with one palm.

The Dragon Mask Man summoned a Vajra Phantom, intending to withstand the woman in the black dress with his physical body, but after sustaining just a few hits, he was already spitting blood and sent flying.

The Snake Mask Man was naturally unable to defend as well, the Buddhist Martial Arts he performed were like that of a three-year-old child before the woman in the black dress.

With no one to stop her, the woman in the black dress approached Dugu Nian. The two women stared at each other, ready to explode at any moment.
