    Chapter 444

    Strange things happened every year, but this year there seemed to be more than ever.

    Ever since meeting Su Hao and helping him, Feng Qianye had felt that the world had become increasingly strange.

    She couldn't explain why.

    She simply had the unsettling feeling that everything was slowly slipping beyond her understanding.

    Originally, she had intended to strike immediately and suppress Su Hao.

    Yet after hearing his sudden question—

    "Senior Feng Qianye... are you trying to kill me?"

    —for some inexplicable reason, she hesitated.

    Only for an instant.

    But during that instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind before she calmly reached a decision.

    Her face remained expressionless.

    "Feng Wei, what are you talking about?"

    "I merely wished to discuss the method of breaking through to the Unity Realm with you."

    "Are you not interested?"

    As she spoke, spiritual power silently surged through her body.

    She casually stretched out one hand toward Su Hao.

    "Wind Spirit Seal."

    Blue-red spiritual power burst from her palm.

    The surrounding air instantly solidified like amber, compressing toward Su Hao from every direction.

    The pressure was terrifying.

    Su Hao immediately tested it.

    Even with his tremendous physical strength...

    He couldn't move a single finger.


    ---

    Feng Qianye looked at him as though she were already looking at a corpse.

    Without the slightest hesitation, she formed another seal.

    "Green Edge Slash!"

    Two spiraling streams of emerald sword energy flashed toward Su Hao's neck.


    ---

    Done.

    Only then did Feng Qianye relax.

    The Green Edge Slash possessed terrifying cutting power.

    Once it wrapped around a target, even the toughest material would be sliced apart.

    Naturally...

    A human neck stood no chance.

    In her eyes...

    Su Hao's head should already have fallen to the ground.

    Once that happened...

    His enormous Nascent Soul spiritual power would become hers.

    Her long-awaited breakthrough into the Unity Realm would finally become reality.


    ---

    No blood splattered.

    That was perfectly normal.

    The attack had simply been too fast.

    His blood had yet to react.


    ---

    As for self-detonating his Nascent Soul...

    Feng Qianye wasn't worried in the slightest.

    Self-destruction required a special technique.

    Not every Nascent Soul cultivator knew it.

    Someone like Su Hao—

    who had only recently advanced and supposedly hadn't even learned proper techniques—

    could never possess such a method.

    That was exactly why cultivators preparing to break through to the Unity Realm preferred hunting newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators.

    Veterans were troublesome.

    Not only were they powerful...

    Most had already learned self-destruction techniques to prevent themselves from becoming prey.


    ---

    Even after relaxing slightly, Feng Qianye remained cautious.

    Another seal appeared between her fingers.

    She aimed directly at Su Hao's forehead.

    Since only his spiritual power mattered...

    Destroying his brain first would eliminate any remaining risks.


    ---

    Su Hao suddenly smiled.

    Then—

    Blink.

    "Senior..."

    "What exactly are you doing?"


    ---

    Feng Qianye's pupils contracted.

    Her attack had clearly severed his neck.

    How was he still speaking?

    More importantly...

    The Su Hao before her had disappeared.

    Her final attack struck only empty air.


    ---

    Her Spiritual Intent immediately swept the surroundings.

    Behind me!

    Without turning around, she instantly activated every defensive spell she possessed.

    Layers upon layers of protective barriers erupted around her body.

    Only after completing every defense did she finally launch a counterattack.

    A streak of green light shot backward.

    At the same time, she activated every formation inside the cave.

    The entire cave abode trembled.

    One formation after another awakened.

    Barriers completely sealed the surroundings.

    No disturbance inside could escape.

    No outsider could interfere.

    Only then did Feng Qianye finally turn around.


    ---

    Standing behind her...

    Su Hao wore a gentle smile.

    For some reason...

    That smile made her uneasy.

    "He clearly took the Green Edge Slash head-on..."

    "How is he completely unharmed?"

    "And how did he escape the Wind Spirit Seal?"

    "This boy... is abnormal."


    ---

    Even so...

    Feng Qianye still didn't believe she could lose.

    Another crimson ribbon artifact flew toward Su Hao.

    It was about to bind him once again.


    ---

    But—

    Blink.

    Su Hao vanished.

    He reappeared behind her again.


    ---

    The moment Feng Qianye turned—

    she saw the beautifully forged Universal Blade already descending.

    What horrified her even more...

    was that every defensive barrier she had painstakingly erected shattered like paper.

    Boom!

    Boom!

    Boom!

    One layer after another exploded.


    ---

    The blade didn't thrust.

    Instead...

    It swept diagonally.

    Slash!

    A chill flashed across her left shoulder.

    Her entire left arm flew into the air.


    ---

    Fear finally appeared in Feng Qianye's heart.

    Even so...

    She remained remarkably calm.

    The instant her arm was severed...

    she had already completed another seal.

    She intended to escape immediately.


    ---

    But Su Hao was faster.

    His left hand rose slightly.

    "Level Three Lightning."

    KRAAAK!

    A dazzling bolt of blue lightning engulfed Feng Qianye.

    Every muscle in her body froze instantly.

    Even her thoughts stopped.

    The final word that surfaced before her consciousness faded was—

    "Lightning..."


    ---

    Before she could recover...

    The Universal Blade flashed once more.

    Her remaining arm fell beside the first.

    The smell of burnt flesh quickly filled the cave.

    Fortunately...

    Nascent Soul cultivators possessed extraordinarily resilient bodies.

    Otherwise...

    That single lightning strike would already have killed her.


    ---

    Several moments later...

    Feng Qianye slowly regained control of her body.

    "What..."

    "What just happened?"

    She stared at Su Hao in disbelief.

    "Didn't you say..."

    "You only knew the three basic spells?"

    "Where did this lightning technique come from?"


    ---

    Without hesitation...

    She chose to flee.

    Hands or no hands...

    She could still cast techniques.

    A protective barrier instantly appeared around her.

    The next moment—

    her escape technique activated successfully.

    Joy surged through her heart.

    "Success!"

    "As long as I escape..."

    "He'll never catch me."


    ---

    She shot backward.

    Only to slam directly into the Universal Blade that had appeared before her.

    Boom!

    Her shield shattered again.


    ---

    "Level Two Lightning."

    KRAAAK!

    A thinner bolt of lightning struck her body.

    She lost all control and crashed back onto the ground.

    The smell of burnt flesh became even stronger.


    ---

    After recovering once more...

    She heard Su Hao's calm voice.

    "Senior Qianye."

    "What exactly are you trying to do?"

    "Would you mind explaining?"


    ---

    Hatred filled Feng Qianye's eyes.

    She secretly directed a thread of spiritual power underground.

    The formations hidden throughout the cave activated instantly.

    The entire cave shook violently.

    Endless streams of light converged upon Su Hao.

    A massive sealing formation descended.

    His movements were completely restrained.

    Immediately afterward—

    countless sword qi burst from every direction and pierced straight through his body.

    Hope returned to Feng Qianye's eyes.

    "It worked!"

    Without waiting to confirm...

    She immediately leaped into the air.

    She intended to escape.


    ---

    "Level Two Lightning."

    KRAAAK!

    She crashed back to the ground once again.


    ---

    When she opened her eyes...

    Su Hao was still standing exactly where he had been.

    Completely unharmed.

    Smiling quietly at her.


    ---

    His voice became noticeably colder.

    "Senior Qianye."

    "This is your final opportunity."

    "Tell me why you wanted to kill me."

    "If you continue resisting..."

    "I'll simply ask someone else."


    ---

    Feng Qianye slowly sat upright.

    The hatred in her eyes gradually faded.

    Instead...

    A strange smile appeared.

    "So..."

    "You really want to know?"

    "Very well."

    "I'll tell you."

    "Listen carefully."


    ---

    Su Hao nodded.

    "I am listening."


    ---

    Feng Qianye slowly opened her mouth.

    At that instant—

    Whoosh!

    A tiny streak of emerald light shot from her mouth.

    Its speed was astonishing.

    In the blink of an eye...

    It pierced straight through Su Hao's forehead.


    ---

    Su Hao's expression finally turned cold.


    ---

    Only then did Feng Qianye realize something horrifying.

    Her hidden Green Edge Needle had indeed pierced Su Hao's head.

    Yet...

    He remained completely unaffected.

    "Impossible!"

    "Could this be an illusion?"

    "Is the real Feng Wei somewhere else?"


    ---

    She would never receive an answer.

    The Universal Blade flew back into Su Hao's hand.

    Without a word...

    He swung it once.

    A streak of emerald light flashed across Feng Qianye's neck.

    Her head slowly separated from her body.
