114. Su Rou is Killed

Cheng Pu practiced a sinister art that harnessed energy from women to strengthen his own.

Over the years, he had targeted numerous women, but he had never encountered someone as regal as Yun Yun or as pure and charming as Su Rou.

Today, no matter what, he was determined to capture both and take them back to satisfy himself.

In a flash, he appeared before the two women, reaching out to grab them.

“Run, Sister Yun Yun! I’ll hold him off!” Su Rou pushed Yun Yun aside, channeling her inner energy to form an energy arrow aimed at Cheng Pu.

“Such a petty trick, daring to show off before me!” Cheng Pu easily dispelled the arrow and, in one swift move, pulled Su Rou into his arms.

Excited by her beauty, he moved in to kiss her, but Su Rou fought back with all her strength.

Yun Yun also charged forward with her sword to help.

Cheng Pu, angered by Su Rou's refusal, sneered, “If you won’t warm my bed willingly, then die!”

With a crack, he snapped Su Rou’s neck.

Even after killing her, he didn’t let her body go; instead, he turned to Yun Yun with a twisted smile and kissed Su Rou’s lifeless face as Yun Yun watched in horror.

“You monster!” Yun Yun, now depleted of her energy and on the verge of becoming defenseless, could only watch.

Cheng Pu dropped Su Rou’s body and lunged at Yun Yun, gripping her throat.

“Be mine, and I’ll spare you,” he offered.

“Never!” Yun Yun’s face was icy with contempt.

“Su Rou! Yun Yun!” Ying Huanhuan’s voice, filled with rage, echoed across the Bloodrock Plain.

At the same time, her dark hair began to shimmer with an icy blue tint.

“Fool, you can’t even protect yourself and still think about others? Join them in death!” Su Li sneered, gathering a terrifying ball of energy in his palm and aiming it at Ying Huanhuan’s chest.

Just then, a harmonious yet ancient sound filled the air as Ying Huanhuan, her lips stained with blood, unleashed her ultimate technique.

"Formless Bodhi Sound, Universal Harmony!" Her melody echoed across the Blood Rock Plain, instantly killing lower-level beasts nearby, though it barely affected the Yuan Gate elders.

“Against absolute power, even the finest treasures and skills are useless!” Su Li crushed her attack and prepared to strike again.

He was sure the mission would be completed in mere seconds.

But suddenly, a white figure appeared before him like a ghost.

Who was it? He looked closely—Chen Xuan!

Furious, Su Li shouted, “Chen—”

But before he could finish, a sword flashed, and his head was severed, spraying blood like fireworks. He died without even seeing how Chen Xuan struck.

“Chen Xuan, how dare you kill a Yuan Gate elder!” Wang Su roared with fury.

Chen Xuan, standing protectively in front of Ying Huanhuan, raised his sword and pointed it at Cheng Pu. “Let her go!”

“Oh, it seems you care about her quite a bit,” Cheng Pu sneered, showing no fear.

Wang Su, intimidated by Chen Xuan’s strength, urged, “Cheng Pu, release her!”

“Wang, I’ve never had the pleasure of someone so thrilling. I can’t let her go. Besides, you all promised she was mine!” Cheng Pu’s face was red with anger.

“Things have changed. The mission comes first!” Wang Su insisted through gritted teeth.

“Damn it! I’m unlucky.” Cheng Pu hesitated, then reluctantly released Yun Yun, though he took one last pleasure in inhaling her scent as he let her go.

A hint of twisted pleasure appeared on his old face.

“He… he killed Xiao Rou. You must avenge her!”

Yun Yun returned to Chen Xuan’s side and pointed at Cheng Pu.

Chen Xuan nodded, his gaze shifting to the few remaining members of the Yuan Gate.

His stare sent a chill down Wang Su’s spine.

“Chen Xuan, we’ve already released the person. Just leave. Our target is Ying Huanhuan, not you!”

“Take action!”

“Chen Xuan, don’t think we’re afraid of you. If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

Wang Su’s face darkened, and the power within him surged.

[Ding! Ying Huanhuan experiences panic. Emotion value +999]

“Time Freeze!”

A calm voice came from Chen Xuan’s mouth.

Then, the area fell silent instantly.

Swish…

Slash…

Several flashes of white light flickered.

Cheng Pu and Wang Su immediately followed Su Li’s path.

Their heads separated from their bodies, reuniting with him in the underworld.

[Ding! Ying Huanhuan experiences shock. Emotion value +999]

“Huh?”

This scared Shi Dong so much he almost wet himself, trembling all over.

In just a blink of an eye, several elders in the Profound Death Realm had been decapitated by Chen Xuan.

At that moment, the tetanus blade was pressed against his throat, making him too afraid to even breathe.

Fearful that any wrong move would have the blade pierce his throat.

The sword’s wielder, holding Yun Yun’s slender waist, looked at Shi Dong calmly and said, “Speak. Why did you want to kill Huanhuan?”

“I… I can’t say.”

Shi Dong crushed the dark green jade talisman in his hand.

“If that’s the case, then you can die too!”

With that, the blade pierced through Shi Dong’s throat, severing his head.

Of course, their souls were all absorbed into his Soul Banner, condemned to become eternal soul slaves.

Chen Xuan then stood beside Su Rou’s corpse, looking at her pale, bloodless face.

In that moment, he felt a surge of complex emotions.

Is this fate?

He had already warned Yun Yun to make sure she and Su Rou didn’t leave Dao Sect.

Of course, he blamed himself, too. He shouldn’t have gone into seclusion at such a critical time, nor did he alert Dao Sect to be wary of Blood Rock Plain.

Still, he couldn’t understand.

In the original story, it was a Yuan Sect official named Yao who tried to please the Yuan Sect by seizing the Celestial Yuan Ancient Tree.

But now, it was a group of powerful elders coming to assassinate Huanhuan.

Could it be…

Did the Yuan Gate already know Huanhuan was the reincarnation of the Ice Master?

In the distance, Ying Xiaoxiao was in shock.

In the blink of an eye, several Yuan Gate elders at the Profound Death level were killed by Chen Xuan without any resistance!

How powerful is he!

At this moment, Ying Huanhuan landed beside him, full of guilt. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, none of this would have happened.”

[Ding! Ying Huanhuan experiences guilt. Emotion value +999]

“Huanhuan, it’s not your fault. Who would’ve thought the Yuan Gate could be so shameless?”

Ying Xiaoxiao stood beside Ying Huanhuan.

With a wave of his sleeve, Chen Xuan stored Su Rou’s body in his system storage.

Just then, the space above Blood Rock Plain twisted, and a voice emerged.

“Heh heh, who are you to judge the Yuan Gate, a mere junior of Dao Sect?”
