Chapter 719 - 718: Gu Yuexi Has Despaired! Mosquito, We Will Be Partners Again in the Next Life

Three young women had brought Gu Yuexi to the Spirit Realm in the first place.

The white-robed girl she had just killed was the most impatient, having come to demand the inheritance from her more than anyone else.

Next was the green-skirted girl standing before her now.

As for the strongest of them, the gold-clad woman...

Ever since Gu Yuexi was imprisoned in this pavilion,

she had never appeared again.

When planning today’s counter-attack,

Gu Yuexi had considered the worst-case scenario.

That the green-skirted girl would appear together with the white-robed girl.

If she had to face two Void Refinement Realm experts at once,

she would have no chance of winning.

However,

Gu Yuexi had never imagined

that while she was fighting the white-robed girl,

the green-skirted girl had been hiding in the shadows the entire time,

watching the whole battle from beginning to end!

She had already killed the white-robed girl!

And only then did the green-skirted girl, her supposed junior sister,

leisurely walk out.

This flimsy sisterly bond...

was so "sincere" it was nauseating!

"Oh, Senior Sister, what a tragic death!"

The green-skirted girl clutched her chest,

putting on a look of utter grief.

But her eyes held nothing but unconcealed amusement.

She couldn’t even squeeze out a single tear.

"I really never thought,"

"Senior Sister, that after all your years of Cultivation,"

"you wouldn’t even be able to defeat a little brat in the Profound Understanding Realm."

"Well, isn’t this just perfect."

"The inheritance of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi can only be left to me, your junior sister, now."

"Thank you for making this possible, Senior Sister!"

The green-skirted girl faced the white-robed girl’s corpse

and muttered hypocritically for a moment.

Only then did she turn her head

to look at Gu Yuexi, who was leaning on a table, gasping for breath.

"Hee hee hee~"

The green-skirted girl covered her mouth and giggled lightly.

Her eyes were full of playful mockery.

"To think a mere Profound Understanding Realm Cultivation could counter-kill someone at the Void Refining Sixth Layer."

"Across the entire Spirit Realm,"

"no Cultivator has ever accomplished such a feat."

"You truly are worthy of being the reincarnation of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi."

"Truly extraordinary."

The green-skirted girl paused.

The smile on her face gradually faded,

and her tone turned icy.

"If you obediently hand over the complete inheritance of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi,"

"I can consider leaving your body intact."

"And grant you a quick death."

Gu Yuexi met the green-skirted girl’s gaze.

Her own eyes were nothing but calm,

without a trace of fear.

"I haven’t."

She said only those two words coolly.

She offered no further explanation.

The green-skirted girl had clearly expected her to say that.

She wasn’t angry.

She pointed a finger at the three jet-black Soul-Eroding Nails on the floor.

And said slowly,

"If I’m not mistaken,"

"these three Soul-Eroding Nails in your possession"

"are one of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s former Lifebound Magical Treasures."

"They specialize in injuring the Divine Soul and are incredibly potent."

"You can already use Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s Magical Treasure at will."

"And you still claim you haven’t recovered her memories?"

"Do you think I’d believe you?"

Gu Yuexi froze.

She subconsciously lowered her head

and looked at the Soul-Eroding Nails by her feet.

Realization dawned on her.

’No wonder. These Soul-Eroding Nails are so difficult for others to even pick up,’

’but in my hands, I can use them with ease.’

’And using them feels so natural,’

’as if the Spell to wield them was etched into my mind from the very beginning.’

’So, this was Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s Magical Treasure.’

’Does this mean... I really am the reincarnation of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi?’

The three young women who had captured her

had always insisted

that she was the reincarnation of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi.

But having been reborn once already,

she was certain she was only the reincarnation of the First Beast Taming Empress,

with no connection to Immortal Venerable Shi Xi whatsoever.

But now,

after experiencing more and more things related to Immortal Venerable Shi Xi,

Gu Yuexi was starting to have doubts.

What they said was very likely true.

’If I really am the reincarnation of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi,’

’why haven’t I received any of her inheritance yet?’

Gu Yuexi couldn’t figure it out no matter how she thought about it.

However,

now was not the time to be thinking about these things.

In order to kill the white-robed girl,

she had already exhausted all her strength.

The Spiritual Power in her body was completely depleted.

The sword wound on her chest was still bleeding continuously.

Her body was weakened to the extreme.

Now, facing the green-skirted girl who was in perfect condition and far stronger than her,

no matter how fast her mind worked,

she couldn’t come up with any way to deal with the situation.

’Is this where I’m going to die?’

Gu Yuexi thought to herself.

’Damned mosquito, will you avenge me?’

’No, forget it.’

’You should just stay put on Blue Star.’

’The Spirit Realm is too dangerous.’

’Without my protection, you’d probably get slapped to death by someone one of these days.’

’You wouldn’t even get the chance to take revenge.’

The green-skirted girl didn’t know

that in that moment, Gu Yuexi’s mind

was occupied with thoughts of a mosquito.

But she was still somewhat annoyed

by Gu Yuexi’s disregard for her.

"Gu Yuexi, I am speaking to you!"

The green-skirted girl’s voice grew several shades colder.

"Since you can use the Soul-Eroding Nails, you must have already obtained Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s inheritance."

"Stop playing your little tricks."

"Hurry up and hand over Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s inheritance."

"Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless."

"I’ve seen through all your little schemes."

"If I wanted to kill you, it would be easier than squashing a mosquito."

If Gu Yuexi had a berserk button,

the word "mosquito" would definitely be it.

"You!"

"Are courting!"

"DEATH!"

Gu Yuexi’s originally calm eyes

instantly turned bone-chillingly cold.

An astonishing killing intent erupted from her body.

Ignoring her grievous injuries,

she unhesitatingly burned the tiny wisp of Spiritual Power that had just recovered in her body.

The golden Empress Battle Armor once again materialized around her.

The Godslaying Ruins Sword also appeared with a hum,

landing in her hand.

WHOOSH—

Gu Yuexi summoned every last bit of her strength

and swung her sword.

The Sword Qi was like a rainbow,

carrying an indomitable momentum

as it rushed toward the green-skirted girl.

The green-skirted girl was only flustered for a moment

before she immediately reacted.

She had witnessed with her own eyes

how the Godslaying Ruins Sword had so easily slain her senior sister.

She was well aware of the sword’s power.

Therefore, she didn’t underestimate it in the slightest.

She immediately summoned her strongest Defense Treasure:

a massive Ancient Bronze Shield.

She placed it in front of her.

CLANG!

A piercing screech of metal on metal rang out.

The Sword Qi slammed viciously into the Ancient Bronze Shield,

sending countless sparks flying.

The Ancient Bronze Shield trembled violently a few times,

but ultimately, it held firm and blocked the Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi, however, lasted only a moment before dissipating into thin air.

The difference in their Realms was still too great.

Moreover, Gu Yuexi was severely injured,

her Spiritual Power completely exhausted.

Swinging that one sword strike was already her limit.

The green-skirted girl, meanwhile, hadn’t let her guard down for an instant.

She’d rather cower behind the Ancient Bronze Shield than face Gu Yuexi directly.

Under these circumstances,

it was simply impossible for Gu Yuexi to have any chance of defeating the green-skirted girl!

At this moment, the green-skirted girl held the absolute advantage.

But her tone suddenly turned conciliatory.

"How about this."

She peeked her head out from behind the Ancient Bronze Shield, looking at the teetering Gu Yuexi.

"You hand over the complete inheritance of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi,"

"and I’ll send you out of the Celestial Derivation Sect and let you leave safely."

"What’s more, I’ll keep the matter of you killing my senior sister a secret."

"That way, no one will come looking for trouble with you anymore."
