What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

No smoke or dust rose from the cave entrance.

There was no one there.

The roaring sound stopped.

Lin Mushi removed her hands from her ears and looked around for Gu Yuqiu, but still couldn't find her. She could only look at Su Yan again.

"She...has something to do."

Su Yan looked at the deep pit, remained silent for a while, and then said, "But the person is still alive."

……

……

"One minute and thirty seconds."

Gu Yuqiu's voice suddenly rang out.

Standing in front of the pit, Crimson slowly raised her head, gazing at the intense firelight ahead, a hint of confusion gradually appearing in her eyes.

That area was where the Sunlight Spear had struck earlier; the temperature was extremely high, and some lingering energy remained.

Ordinary second-tier transcendents, before even venturing far on the path to godhood, will experience immense pressure the moment they come into contact with those auras, to the point of mental collapse.

Seconds ago, if Gu Yuqiu didn't want to be smashed into the riverbed by that sword, her only option was to retreat.

Just like that famous saying about defending one's country, she should have had nowhere to retreat, because what seemed like a wide path behind her was actually a dead end.

That's what Crimson thought.

But things didn't go as she expected, and a huge surprise occurred, for example... Gu Yuqiu is still alive and well.

Just like Su Yan said.

Gu Yuqiu emerged from the flames, casually carrying the long sword. Countless sparks slid down her hair and clothes with each step.

Along with it, blood also spilled from the corner of her lips.

It was clear that she had been seriously injured in order to withstand that terrifying blow, but she survived and did not die.

She raised her hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, her expression calm yet unsettling.

Crimson didn't care about this calm, because she had seen too many people who were ready to die. She said expressionlessly, "I hope you can say something interesting again."

"You'll hear it soon."

Gu Yuqiu's voice was indifferent, and her expression was even more indifferent.

She seemed to have an inexplicable confidence, as if she had everything under control.

Crimson raised an eyebrow slightly, finding the scene quite interesting.

The next moment, she suddenly grasped the giant sword in front of her and disappeared from everyone's sight at an extremely fast speed.

Then the scene fell silent again.

Only the firelight swept in again, accompanied by a faint crackling sound.

Amidst the crackling sounds, a crimson figure silently appeared, arriving at Gu Yuqiu's side and wielding a giant sword.

Gu Yuqiu seemed to have anticipated this, and his longsword whistled as it slashed out.

The longsword, glowing red, pierced through the burning air, shaking off the remaining aura on its blade, and arrived before the crimson figure.

The two swords clashed once again.

Standing in the last safe zone on the bridge, Lin Mushi watched this scene and instinctively covered her mouth, afraid of hearing another loud roar.

But no.

She only heard a slight clattering sound, and just as she was about to put her hand down, she found that the sound was continuing.

Clap clap clap.

A series of loud noises continued, and Gu Yuqiu and Shen Hong's figures had already disappeared.

Only two red lines remained on the bridge, sometimes meeting, sometimes separating, constantly reuniting and colliding, producing the sounds that Lin Mushi heard.

The sounds were initially of varying pitches, some melodious, but gradually became crisper and lost their richness.

The reason for this strange change was that the crimson greatsword began to gain the upper hand, suppressing the longsword in Gu Yuqiu's hand.

Lin Mushi finally understood what was happening in front of her. She was very worried and didn't know what she could do, so she shouted.

"One minute left."

She didn't know what the point of shouting was, but she did shout it anyway, hoping it would change something.

Surprisingly, the continuous wave of sound suddenly stopped the moment she finished speaking.

"Fifty-nine... uh?"

Lin Mushi was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with astonishment, wondering if she had called the right name.

Before she could even get excited and change her mind to say fifty-eight, a violent gust of air suddenly surged in, silencing her.

The burst of air was naturally caused by the burst of crimson.

In fact, if Lin Mushi hadn't shouted, she would have almost forgotten that there was still time, or she would have remembered it in the last ten seconds and then made the final decision with her sword.

After all, this battle was too interesting. Whether it was the identity of her opponent, the frequent unexpected events, or the short one-minute sword fight, it all made her feel excited for the first time in a long time.

—After that man died.

Although she refused to believe this claim, thinking that the person couldn't possibly have died, or at least shouldn't have died so quietly.

That's enough for now.

Crimson looked at Gu Yuqiu with a hint of admiration in her eyes and said, "This battle made me admire you, but since you are connected with her, you are destined to die."

Gu Yuqiu did not speak.

His crimson gaze fell on the longsword in her hand, and he said, "I will leave you with a whole corpse; this is my final act of mercy."

The violent impact a minute ago, and the countless collisions that followed, had already filled the bodies of these two swords with gaps.

If the red light hadn't remained so bright, those cracks would have already caught Lin Mushi's eye.

Su Yan kept her brows furrowed because she had seen all this and knew very well that Gu Yuqiu's long sword was not going to last.

In such an extremely intense confrontation between superhumans, if one side suddenly loses its weapon, it will undoubtedly be at a great disadvantage.

Even death.

Even Gu Yuqiu couldn't change this fact.

Therefore, she had been thinking about this question since the very first time she picked up the longsword.

"This is my sword."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Crimson looked into her eyes, shook his head, and said, "You can never defeat me with my weapons."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Yes."

Her tone was remarkably calm when she said those two words.

Crimson Pity said, “You are aware of the problem, but you can’t change it and can only watch it all happen. It’s a truly despairing thing.”

After saying this, she raised her hand, met everyone's gaze, and seemingly snapped her fingers casually.

Gu Yuqiu did not try to stop it.

As the snap of the fingers ended, the red light emanating from the longsword began to fade, revealing its buried form.

It was like a piece of scrap metal, covered with cracks of varying sizes. Without the red light to sustain it, it would only shatter into pieces with one more impact.

"so……"

Crimson raised the greatsword once more.

Countless red lights converged from all directions, forming a vortex that seemed to want to engulf everything in it.

She gave Gu Yuqiu a mocking smile and asked, "What are you waiting for now?"

Gu Yuqiu smiled slightly and silently uttered a single word.

"cat."

Chapter 76: Chapter Seventy-Five - Twilight Descends Over This World

Crimson could see it clearly and naturally recognized it as the character for "cat," raising an eyebrow slightly.

She would never forget that white cat; the memory was so vivid it was etched into her very being, but for a moment she still couldn't understand the meaning of the word "cat."

Because she was familiar with it, she knew very well how bad the white cat's temper was. It didn't care about ordinary people at all; they were just lowly servants.

Tonight, after seeing the white cat and then encountering Wuzui, she naturally made some connections between the two, never expecting to hear that word from Gu Yuqiu's mouth.

But she was certain that the cat Gu Yuqiu was talking about was the white cat named Songtang.

"A cat is a cat."

Crimson suddenly said, "Cats are not dogs, they will never understand what loyalty is."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Su Yan beside her, wondering how they had gotten onto the topic of cats and dogs.

From their perspective, they could only see Gu Yuqiu's back, so they naturally didn't see the word "cat" that had been silently uttered earlier, which was understandable.

Su Yan still guessed something, but still couldn't understand.

Before the war began, she asked Gu Yuqiu a question: Where is the cat?

In her opinion, if Songtang had appeared immediately and intervened in the battle before the twilight world had fully unfolded, they would have been safe tonight.

The only problem is that Crimson could have simply walked away from this situation; there was no need for her to take the risk of fighting White Cat and then facing pursuit from the Special Affairs Bureau.

More importantly, if the white cat didn't arrive at the very beginning, then why was it able to come into this world instead of just waiting around like the other people outside?

No matter how you look at it, Su Yan still felt that suddenly talking about the white cat seemed too strange and illogical.

She watched Gu Yuqiu's retreating figure intently, and the doubts in her heart gradually faded away, no longer as intense as before.

Just then, Lin Mushi shook her arm and she heard a sentence.
