The whiteness came over everyone. No one was spared from the momentary blindness brought from Bing’s technique. Hu Tao, Wan Qing, Ni Xong, Lam, Bing himself, and Chun were all blinded. Hu Tao covered his eyes with his hands and could vaguely see two shadowy figures speeding away from each other at incredible speeds. It sucked that he wasn’t able to see what kind of state the two were in but from the brief view he saw, none of them lost any limbs in the explosion.
And in only a few seconds, the incredibly bright light was gone and everyone’s vision returned. Hu Tao immediately looked over at Bing’s body to see if he died or not. The crazy fat bastard wasn’t moving. He clicked his tongue in irritation. That fatty had potential to give him a good fight in the future! How dare someone else take away one of his fights!?
“You’re fucking dead when I get out of here you Huan shit! That fat piece of shit was mine to fight!” Hu Tao cursed at the barely living Chun.
Chun rose with great difficulty. Blood seeped from every part of his body, his clothes were torn into rags, and his defensive treasures were destroyed in the blast. The previously easy-going young man glared in Bing’s direction with a hate-filled stare. His pride was destroyed to pieces and his hatred for that fatty that put him in this embarrassing state rose to an unprecedented height. Never before has he ever been in such a humiliating state.
The stumbling heavily injured youth made his way to Bing’s unconscious naked body with nothing but murderous intent. There was no one capable of stopping him at this point in time. Both Hu Tao and Wan Qing were trapped within high-level formations and Bing and Lei Zhi were in similar states in where it was unknown if they were still alive. So, Chun had free reign to do whatever he pleased with Bing’s creamy white pig-like virgin body.
Chun released all his pent-up frustrations on Bing. With brutal punches and kicks to Bing’s face and body, he beat him till he was bleeding even further than before. Bing groaned from the impact of each hit but still did not awaken. A smile was slowly forming on Chun’s lips in seeing how he had complete freedom to do whatever he pleased to this pig. His savage assault reduced Bing into a bloody, bruised, and gravely injured mess.
“Now... I’ll show you the price for messing with my clan! And for daring to believe that you had the smallest chance of defeating me!” He pointed his sword that was as dark as the night itself at Bing’s throat.
“Die Fatty!” He swung downwards to separate Bing’s neck from his body.
Clink!
A clear clang rang out before Chun could complete his chop. His face distorted into one of confusion and anger. But the face of the figure stopping him seemed even more pissed than he was! Out of pure fear, he jumped a distance away and got a good look at this mysterious intruder. Her hair was as bright as the rising sun while her eyes burned with a flaming fury. The top half of her body was currently protruding out of some strange oval-shaped thing along with a thin light blade that oozed of a strange qi.
Chun watched as she forced herself out of the circle and fully arrived to the 20th floor somehow. Who was this person? Why was she stopping him from killing that fatty? Is she his ally or an unknown third party?
“Who are you?! If you don’t wish to get on the Huan clan’s bad side, stay out of this!” He threatened.
“Princess! You made it! You could’ve came a bit fucking sooner but at least you’re here! Fatass and the Old Man kicked the bucket! Come get me out of this thing quick!” Hu Tao yelled.
She ignored them both and looked down at the fatty with a strange look on her face. Chun immediately knew that she was connected to him somehow with a look like that. The odd girl soon glared at him after feeding a strange pill to the fatty. Despite his severe injuries, he was sure that he could take care of an 8th stage Qi Gatherer. Chun readied his sword and prepared himself for battle.
“Wait a second. I’ll be with you in a moment.” Ying’s eyes caught Xiurong’s corpse in the distance and no signs of Lei Zhi.
She tossed a spirit stone in Hao Gang’s mouth and immediately found Lei Zhi’s body. She lightly hopped her way over to him and fed him the same pill she fed Bing before returning to the battlefield. Ying ran her hand down Xiurong’s body and muttered a few words in her memory. Then, she focused her attention on Chun and Lam.
“You and You. Get ready to die.” She uttered with such calmness it was as if their fates were already decided by the heavens themselves. Her sword returned back to its massive and demonic appearance.
Lam and Chun looked at the 8th stage Qi Gatherer and couldn’t help laughing together. At the exact time their mouths starting moving up and down through laughter, was when Ying attacked, giving them no time to prepare themselves. She wasn’t playing around. Her sword cleanly removed Lam’s torso from her waist in a single stroke. Lam’s sickeningly sweet smile was still present on her face as the upper half of her body flew through the air.
Chun held nothing back once he processed the instantaneous death of Lam. He vanished towards Ying’s back after she cut Lam in two. Only to be met with icy-white flames that exploded out from her back that nearly froze him solid! The 3rd stage Qi Consolidator kicked the air to avoid it and kicked once more to continue his attack on the dangerous Qi Gatherer in front of him.

“Don’t underestimate me, Qi Gatherer!” Chun shouted. His blade nearing Ying’s heart.
“You’re not as fast as I thought you’d be.” She replied.
Ying didn’t even bother avoiding his attack. She simply coated her hands in flames and grabbed hold of the weak blade between her fingers. Looking at Chun with a look of disbelief. A look that asked, “Is this seriously your best?”
Chun’s expression twisted into something inhuman after being looked down on by this girl who was an entire realm below him. He tried to forcibly pull his blade from her grip with all his strength and unleash thousands of slashes upon her in retaliation. But he couldn’t force it from her fingers... She was actually stronger than him...
“If it wasn’t for that fatty, I'd eat you alive stupid girl!” He screamed while still trying to pull his sword free.
“If it wasn’t for that fatty, you’d have a painless death instead of a painful one. For putting him in that state, I'll have to do the same to you.” Ying smashed her foot into Chun’s gut, launching him straight across the white rocky remains of this battlefield. He tumbled, rolled, and smashed against the ground like a kite with its strings cut.
Chun could feel everything in his body shatter from that kick, bile spewing from his mouth during his flight. In no less than a second, she was right on top of him shoving her fist into his chest, shattering his ribs completely and sending him into a panic attack. He couldn’t breathe. It hurts just trying to breathe. What the hell was this girl...? Was he going to die right here and now?
“Gahhh!!!” Chun screamed from the sudden loss of his arm. He was on the verge of passing out.
“You can’t faint yet. I’m sure the pain you put my friend through was much worse than this.” Ying cauterized his wound to stop the blood loss, causing him to shriek even louder.
“Love really makes one scary...” Wan Qing muttered. She herself already went through a situation with nearly killing someone’s loved one and almost died for it.
Ying then proceeded to cause unimaginable amount of pain and suffering to the Huan clan member for nearly killing Bing. Shattering his legs, twisting his remaining arm like a wet towel, swelling up face with barely restrained punches, and an almost completely cracked skull for when she couldn’t restrain one of her punches. In his current state, it was hard to tell if he was even alive. His body twitched every few seconds accompanied by whimpers and other such noises from his mouth.
Ying stood over him with a cold look on her face. No one tries to kill her friends without paying a price. Bing, Lei Zhi, and Xiurong were all people she considered her friends. The months they spent together weren’t moments that could be easily forgotten. Even though she hates Hu Tao’s guts, she’d rather be the one to kill him herself than have some other person kill him.
Growing up, Ying didn’t have many friends. For a long time, her only friend was just her grandfather. Sometimes she interacted with the other noble children but their parents always stopped them from getting too involved with her. She never understood why but she didn’t care either, Ying was perfectly fine with her Gramps being her only friend. She was simple like that.
Then she met Xiaohui during her recruitment test to get into the Golden Serpent Sect. At first it seemed like they got along great. Xiaohui introduced her to her friends and Ying also became friends with them. Then they learned of her true reason of joining the sect and there was the situation with Xiaohui’s boyfriend. So, that all ended horribly and Ying didn’t really understand what real friends were like for a while.
Until she got to know Bing and Lei Zhi. Two people she would have no doubt ignored entirely if it wasn’t for Jing bringing her into her group. Because of Jing, she got to know these two and learned what having actual friends were like. Ying was hesitant to call Hu Tao a friend but deep down in her heart, she considered him something resembling a friend but at the same time hated him deeply. She couldn’t say as of now if Wan Qing was her friend or not. They haven’t spent enough time together for her to decide something like that but she didn’t hold a negative opinion of her.
Ying chopped down with her sword and split Chun’s twitching figure into two halves. From the center of her lungs, she took a deep breath, stabilizing her mind and nerves. She was very glad that she arrived on time to save both Bing and Lei Zhi. There was no pain in her heart that she used two of Jing’s valuable special recovery pills to save them. They were the only ones she had but she didn’t regret using them for a second.
“Oi! Princess!? The girl with orange pubic hair!? Mind saving me anytime now!?” Hu Tao whined.
“I also need some assistance...” Wan Qing tried to hide her embarrassment.
“Ror. Ror.” Ni Xong held his paws on the formation’s barrier.
“How did you two get trapped?” Ying asked Qing and Xong.
“I was caught unprepared.”
Ying looked at both Hu Tao’s and Wan Qing’s trapping arrays to see if there was a way of freeing them. Unfortunately for both of them, she had no idea how to free them. She could try going all out with her sword to shatter their prisons but there was no certainty that it would work. Especially for Hu Tao’s cube that was filled to the brim with powerful talismans all over it.
“Yeah. I’m stumped. Maybe we can figure something out when Bing and Lei wake up.” Ying proposed.
Hu Tao and Wan Qing had no choice but to wait if Ying couldn’t figure something out. Eventually Bing and Lei Zhi reawakened with their injuries fully healed. Upon reawakening, tears fell from Bing’s eyes, overjoyed that he was still in the world of the living. Lei Zhi placed Xiurong’s body in a capture bead to bury at a later date. The three of them then tried various methods of releasing the trapped Qi Consolidators in their group, only to no avail.
“Hoooly shit!!!” A voice in the distance whistled.
“What kind of fucking war took place here?” Another joined in.
“Damn, somebody had a party here!”
A group with several lotuses on their head arrived. They marveled at the carnage and death lingering in the aftermath of the terrible battles that took place here. Some of them even recognized the corpses and mocked them. But there were two faces in that group that caught everyone attention.
“It’s good to see you all are still in one piece.” Jing spoke with Li Li perched on her shoulder.
“You know these people, Jing?” Wenling asked, she only knew the shirtless one.
“I suppose you could say that. I’m their leader after all.” Jing revealed.
