After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 203 Look at the baby
Immediately, Murong Xiaoya waved her hand, and the blazing flames before her slowly dissipated, revealing an isolated fireless zone amidst the vast sea of ​​fire.

However, at this moment, there was no one in front of Murong Xiaoya; Li Musheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Was it all burned to the ground?!"

Murong Xiaoya's lips curled slightly, and she let out a cold laugh, appearing extremely cold and indifferent at this moment.

The next moment, Murong Xiaoya suddenly paused.

Then the blood flames enveloping his eyes began to shake violently, becoming extremely unstable and seemingly showing a tendency to recede and disappear.

"Why did this happen? How could I have killed His Highness? Impossible... I didn't do it..."

Murong Xiaoya clutched her head and suddenly squatted down, her eyes revealing an expression of extreme pain.

The palpable killing intent emanating from her body seemed to be slowly dissipating at this moment.

Just then, a sigh suddenly arose from the courtyard engulfed in flames.

Then, in the previously deserted air, Li Musheng's figure suddenly appeared in front of Murong Xiaoya with a single step.

At this moment, Murong Xiaoya seemed to sense something and suddenly raised her head to look at Li Musheng in front of her.

In an instant, the blood flames in his eyes, which had been gradually dying down, suddenly flared up again, and his killing intent returned to its previous terrifying level.

At this moment, the pained expression on Murong Xiaoya's face disappeared, replaced by a look of surprise and doubt. She slowly straightened up and said in an icy voice:
You're actually alright?

As she spoke, Murong Xiaoya once again unleashed a thunderous attack filled with murderous intent. The Vermilion Bird phantom that instantly materialized behind her swung its fiery wings and slashed down from afar, aiming straight for Li Musheng's chest and heart.

This slash was incredibly fast, the flames flashed and disappeared in an instant, making it impossible to track its trajectory.

However, when the flames slashed through Li Musheng's body, they only managed to cut an afterimage in two.

In Murong Xiaoya's eyes, Li Musheng had disappeared once again.

"Miss Murong, you're still too slow."

At this moment, as Li Musheng's voice rang out, he reappeared from the dissipated afterimage and shook his head at Murong Xiaoya.

"How can it be!"

Murong Xiaoya's face showed horror. The next moment, her terrifying aura, as deep as the ocean, rose to its peak. Crimson gold patterns flowed and converged in her palm, and crimson gold vortexes blazed brightly. Then, she raised her hand from a distance and clenched it tightly towards Li Musheng's heart.

However, in the next instant, a slender hand rested on Murong Xiaoya's wrist, and Li Musheng's voice rang in her ear:

"Still too weak, Miss Murong."

"Also, if you make another move, I might not be able to resist killing you."

Li Musheng's words echoed in Murong Xiaoya's ears, and she was horrified to find that she could not hold onto the wrist that was being held, as if a force as heavy as a mountain was pressing down on her hand, making it impossible for her to move an inch.

At the same time, an indescribable fear surged into Murong Xiaoya's heart, even causing the murderous intent that had soared within her to tremble, before receding like a tide.

At this moment, the blood-red flames covering Murong Xiaoya's eyes slowly faded, and then an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on her face, her eyes changing from cold and menacing to pain and regret:
"How...how did I become like this?"

Visibly, the towering pillar of fire dissipated from mid-air, and the sea of ​​fire surrounding the Mei Mansion gradually lost its previous power.

Li Musheng stared at Murong Xiaoya, who had reverted to her previous gentle and frail appearance, and slowly shook his head. In fact, when she first attacked him, he had already considered killing the girl in front of him.

However, after seeing Murong Xiaoya clearly struggling, Li Musheng ultimately couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.

"Oh no, if I did this to the protagonist of some novels in my past life, I would definitely be called a hypocrite by the readers."

Li Musheng frowned, involuntarily making a mental complaint.

But there was nothing they could do. After all, Murong Xiaoya was someone they knew, and her family had just been wiped out, so there was a reason for it.

Moreover, Li Musheng could sense that something was clearly wrong with the other party.

Although Murong Xiaoya's strength is growing stronger, her mind seems to be consumed by hatred and killing, to the point that she is unable to control herself and even tends to become a killing machine that only knows how to kill and has no feelings.

"Your Highness...I'm sorry..."

The crimson-gold patterns on Murong Xiaoya's skin disappeared, and the molten gold vortex in her eyes also vanished. She simply lowered her head, her face contorted in pain, and whispered an apology.

Li Musheng slowly released the other person's slender wrist, circled her for a while, then raised an eyebrow and suddenly spoke:

"No need for apologies, Miss Murong. Why don't you let me see your treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xiaoya, who had been looking down, was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her head.

Her fiery red hair swayed gently in the lingering heat around her.

"baby?"

The terrifying aura emanating from Murong Xiaoya had subsided, and now a look of confusion appeared on her fair and beautiful face.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng stroked his chin, then pointed to the other person's left chest and said:
"Isn't your baby right there?"

Murong Xiaoya looked down and quickly understood what was happening. She slowly placed her hand on her heart and whispered:
"It was indeed thanks to it that I was able to destroy the four major families and avenge the Murong family by killing Han Chuiyuan."

At this point, Murong Xiaoya's eyes glazed over, and the blood flames that had been extinguished seemed to be on the verge of reigniting, as if the killing intent lurking within her was about to make a comeback.

However, with just a glance from Li Musheng, an invisible aura entered Murong Xiaoya's body, and everything quietly fell silent.

“Miss Murong, if you can’t handle this, leave it to me and I will handle it for you.”

Li Musheng narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke.

At this moment, Murong Xiaoya seemed to have realized something and understood the reason for her previous actions.

She looked up at Li Musheng, then lowered her head and remained silent for a moment before finally nodding and saying:
"Now that my great revenge has been achieved, I no longer need the Vermilion Bird Bone. If Your Highness wishes to take it, then please do so."

As she spoke, Murong Xiaoya faced Li Musheng and gently lifted her robe.

In an instant, Murong Xiaoya's entire body was fully displayed before Li Musheng's eyes.

At this moment, Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the other person's heart.

There was a hideous wound there, shrouded in blood, as if it would never heal.
