Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 932 Ruoruo: Take My Life, Xiao Yan (3k!)
Life at Canaan College begins as usual.

Defeat hordes of enemies, join the inner court, establish your own sect, and seek out the extraordinary flame.
Because of that word "husband," Xiao Yan avoided a lot of unwanted attention from women, and his constitution, which had previously been constantly provoked, improved for the first time.

Not only did he have a smooth journey, but his alchemy skills also improved by leaps and bounds, which made the old alchemist very pleased.

However, the smoother things went, the emptier Xiao Yan felt inside.

The feeling is as if someone who should have been by your side has left without a trace, so much so that when you try to recall them, you can no longer see their image in your mind.

Although it was quiet, it wasn't comfortable.

"Brother Xiao Yan, are you okay?"

A girl's worried voice reached my ears.

Looking back, I saw Xun'er rushing over in the rain, looking travel-worn, with an indescribable coldness in her eyes.

"What's wrong, Nizi?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Elder Ling disappeared some time ago. When Xun'er sent a message home, she discovered that his soul jade tablet had already been shattered. He must have suffered a calamity!" Xun'er said bitterly.

Xiao Yan fell silent. He naturally knew about Ling Ying's matter, but he simply couldn't bring himself to comment on it.

Ling Ying's probing was done at Xun'er's behest to investigate the enemy's situation, while Ling Ying was killed because the demoness did not tolerate spying. It is difficult to judge who was right and who was wrong between the two.

If I had to put it into words, it would probably be that we simply have different paths.

"As early as when Brother Xiao Yan's reputation was tarnished by that vixen, Xun'er knew that she must be involved. I only regret that I was too arrogant back then and did not inform the family, which led to Elder Ling suffering misfortune," Xun'er added.

"So what do you plan to do?" Xiao Yan asked.

"The only way to settle a feud between family and friends is through killing," Xun'er said resolutely, her eyes icy cold.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you may not know this, but that demoness comes from the Soul Clan, who is the most cold-blooded and ruthless. The blood flowing through her veins is filthy and she is an irreconcilable enemy of your Xiao Clan."

The Xiao clan? The Xiao family?
Xiao Yan suddenly realized why the other party was so obsessed with that piece of ancient jade and why they had repeatedly tried to get close to him.

If there is a long-standing connection, then it makes sense.

"Leaving aside the grudges of the Xiao Clan for now, what is the relationship between the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace?" Xiao Yan sighed.

"The Soul Clan, the Soul Palace, and Soul Ruoruo, they were originally one," Xun'er said with a cold smile.

For a moment, Xiao Yan was completely speechless.

It turns out that the Soul Palace belongs to the Soul Clan, and so does Soul Ruoruo.

If that's the case, it makes sense that they have the same goal. Xiao Yan can't let her go, and the slight intimacy they had back then can't stop the demoness's determination. In the end, the two are bound to become enemies.

Xiao Yan just couldn't understand why Hun Ruoruo would send someone to kidnap him if she already knew that the ancient jade was not in Xiao Zhan's hands.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan pushed open the door, and gusts of rain and wind rushed into the room, making it feel dry, cold, and noisy.

"Thanks, girl." Xiao Yan smiled casually, but his gaze was somewhat unfocused.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xun'er suddenly called out to him, biting her lip, her eyes burning: "Xun'er actually doesn't care about those rumors."

Xiao Yan paused.

A moment later, he ventured alone into the torrential rain and continued on his way.

"But that's not just gossip."

Driven by his search for his father and his own doubts, Xiao Yan's cultivation progressed at an increasingly rapid pace, as if everything were just a second chance.

When exactly did he fall into the trap? Xiao Yan didn't know. Perhaps it was her bright and beautiful appearance, or perhaps it was her insightful mind that always understood his heart. The demoness's methods were indeed worthy of her name, and he couldn't help but fall into the trap.

However, falling into a trap does not mean being unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Whether it's his father or Ling Ying, these people who have been kind to him have suffered at the hands of the demoness. Xiao Yan has no right to forgive them on their behalf, even if from another perspective, she may not have done anything wrong.

Like Xun'er, he and she were not on the same path.

That's why it's necessary to ask clearly.

The next time I saw the demoness was after the Canaan Academy competition had ended.

At that time, she was dressed in a black robe, no longer as beautiful and radiant as she had been on her wedding day. Instead, she was as cold as a blade, alluring yet chilling.

"No! It was you! Why did you betray me?!"

A man named Han Feng had been stabbed through the chest and was screaming hysterically.

At this moment, he was only one step away from the Fallen Heart Flame, and he had also encountered Yao Chen's disciple who shared the same origin as him. As long as he could evolve the Burning Technique, he could completely prove his talent.

However, everything was reduced to nothing by that poisoned dagger.

"Hehehe, the Soul Clan's 'Burning Soul Black Blade,' you used the replica given to you by Mu Gu to pierce the Medicine Venerable's pseudo-saint body back then, didn't you?"

The girl's face was eerily pale, with specks of blood covering her cheeks, making her red lips appear even more luscious.

"Since you have betrayed others, you should always be prepared to be betrayed by others. You don't even have this awareness. You're a piece of trash. No wonder you can only aim at a dead person your whole life."

"what!!!"

Han Feng tried to refute, but the Soul-Burning Poison had already spread throughout his body and soul, and was instantly devoured by the scorching black and red flames.

The once-renowned physician met his end.

Everyone in the Black Corner Region, including the Soul Hall members who were hiding there, and the Canaan elders who were fighting a bloody battle, were all stunned and stood there in shock.

"That girl"

The old doctor's expression was complicated. Even though the two were enemies, what the other said resonated with him.

Xiao Yan remained silent, but his actions became increasingly ruthless. He raised his palm and killed the Soul Envoy in front of him, his expression growing increasingly grave.

As Han Feng perished, a flame swaying like a wave and a human-shaped statue landed in Hun Ruoruo's palm. "That's... the Sea Heart Flame?!"

Everyone gasped, their eyes filled with envy and greed.

With such rare and precious treasures as an attraction, it's no wonder that woman switched sides at this moment.

"Sea Heart Flame?"

Hun Ruoruo scoffed and casually discarded the clear water flame that matched her hair color as if it were worthless.

"How could a mere ball of strange fire be worthy of my scheming?"

She raised her hand high, and the talisman lit up instantly, unleashing a powerful aura capable of shattering the void!

"Han Feng, didn't I tell you? Don't summon my avatar unless you're facing a certain death crisis."

The old man's chilling voice rang out, instantly causing everyone's expressions to change drastically.

A Dou Zun level expert?!

"Mu Gu... It really is that old bastard!" Yao Lao's eyes were filled with hatred.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately called for Xiao Yan to escape from this place.

The difference between a Dou Zun and a Dou Huang is undoubtedly as vast as heaven and earth. Even with his help, Xiao Yan would have no chance of directly confronting him.

However, to everyone's surprise, the owner of that immense power did not appear immediately, but instead uttered a sound of doubt and uncertainty.

"This power... No, how is this possible? Why is the projection of the original body here?!"

Yes, Mu Gu's projection has indeed descended.

But the place they descended upon was not the void, nor Canaan Academy, but Hun Ruoruo's sea of ​​souls!

"Hehehehe, Ruoruo has waited a very, very long time for this Dou Zun avatar of yours. Don't you know that the soul imprint of your Dou Zun projection is actually empty?"

Mu Gu was horrified and turned pale.

He projected his Dou Zun image onto Han Feng only to control him, not to protect him. Of course, he would not allow Han Feng to imprint his soul mark on the Dou Zun image.

As the projection of the original body, Mu Gu was also unable to leave a soul imprint on it.

Therefore, this unclaimed Dou Zun projection was actually taken advantage of by an outsider!
What an utter disgrace!

"It's said that the Soul Hall has a strict system, and subordinates can never disobey their superiors."

The girl had a bright smile, but her words sent chills down one's spine.

"Since that's the case, for my own advancement, please, die."

The next moment, Mu Gu's soul body instantly died, and all of its vast and pure soul energy was completely devoured.

From beginning to end, he didn't even manage a single scream.

After absorbing the soul power of the entire Dou Zun projection, the girl pursed her lips, her expression unchanged, but her pair of purple eyes became even more profound, gazing at the crowd below as if looking at a puppet.

"Miss Ruoruo."

The people from Black Corner Region and Soul Palace were already pale with fright, trembling as they said, "We swear that we will never reveal a single thing about what happened today!"

"Heh heh, do you all know why I called you here?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Corner Domain and the Soul Palace members immediately understood the other party's intention. They let out a strange cry and fled in all directions like madmen.

Hun Ruoruo's smile widened, blood streaming down her lips. "Only the dead can truly keep secrets."

A flash of purple light, and all the souls on the field were annihilated.

There was no fighting, no bloodshed, only countless corpses falling from the sky like rain.

"Is this your purpose?"

A somewhat slender figure stepped into the air and stood in front of Canaan Academy.

"The reason you came with me to Canaan Academy was to break the spatial lock so you could lay an ambush beforehand?" Xiao Yan said.

"Now that you know my methods, what are you going to do?" Hun Ruoruo asked.

"Impressive," Xiao Yan said truthfully.

The victor is king, the loser is villain. Even if he were to hurl insults like Han Feng, he would only receive ridicule from the vixen.

In that case, it's better to just admit the gap directly.

As he spoke, Xiao Yan handed over a handkerchief, the very one the girl had left behind.

Hun Ruoruo smiled and took it, wiping the bloodstains from her face, revealing her fair and bright complexion.

"but."

Xiao Yan gazed at the stunningly beautiful girl, paused, and suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid that what you said to him will come true for you?"

Han Feng betrayed Yao Lao, and the demoness betrayed both Han Feng and the Soul Palace. If we follow their line of reasoning, there should also be a sharp blade that pierces through time and space and plunges into his chest.

Hun Ruoruo was unusually silent.

After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth.

"I do indeed scheme against all living beings, but I am willing to take the risks for it."

She turned her head, her long, blood-stained, sea-blue hair fluttering in the wind like a lively flame.

"So, if there really is such a person, capable of taking my life..."

"Then I won't have any complaints even if I lose."
