At that time, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, upon their first encounter, Shang Qingli was merely at the First Level of the Broken Eternal Realm.

It's been just one or two short years, and she's progressed this much?

This speed of cultivation is truly terrifying.

In comparison to Su Chen himself, naturally, it's not as fast, but Su Chen had far too many serendipitous encounters, especially with five Thunder Spirits!!! This allowed his rapid and fierce advancement, his continual progress.

And as for Shang Qingli? She probably didn't have encounters like his, right?

This suggests that Shang Qingli's talent for martial cultivation is indeed truly astounding.

At least in Su Chen's view, Shang Qingli's talent for martial cultivation surpasses Xuu Xiao, Qiu Shuang, and others by a hundred streets, even compared to Nie Gu, she's only stronger and not weaker in terms of talent.

However, Shang Qingli is too mysterious. Who exactly is she? In War Ancient Sky, there's no talk of a Shang family!

"Why does she appear? She's not the type who likes to join the crowd." Su Chen was curious again.

He knew of Shang Qingli's personality, she would not come to Saint Nie City to watch Nie Gu and Qiu Shuang's wedding just for a spectacle.

So what exactly is Shang Qingli here for?

Unable to help himself, a trace of curiosity and inquiry appeared in Su Chen's eyes. He wanted to understand through his gaze...

But what responded to Su Chen was Shang Qingli's cold gaze, with a hint of meaning: It's none of your business, you should leave!

It seemed Shang Qingli was waiting, waiting for Su Chen to leave, and hoped he would leave soon, evidently not wanting Su Chen to get involved.

"I just won't leave." Su Chen changed his earlier thought of leaving. What's so important that this girl came here? Su Chen was curious.

Shang Qingli gave Su Chen a deep look, her beautiful eyes clearly showing traces of anger, the look within them seemed to say: You bastard, this girl told you to scram!!!

Su Chen pretended not to see.

"Hmm?" Just at that moment, Sword Lifeless also sensed Shang Qingli's presence, he looked towards her, his gaze coldly fixed on her.

Shang Qingli's gaze also shifted from Su Chen, suddenly filled with killing intent.

She stared at Sword Lifeless.

Stared tightly.

Stared intensely.

"Little girl, you are so persistent? Hmph." Sword Lifeless snorted, his aura visibly cooled: "Sometimes, being too persistent is a bad thing."

"You killed Aunt Qin!" Shang Qingli spoke one word at a time, her words ice-cold, filled with hatred.

"You wish to avenge her? But you are not my match. Besides, your Aunt Qin and I fought fairly; she requested it herself, asked for a Sword Inquiry, wanted me to use my full strength, and told me that life or death doesn't count between us." Sword Lifeless said calmly: "I am a Sword Cultivator, she was also a Sword Cultivator. I understand her pursuit. So, I fulfilled her request."

"I don't care. You cold-blooded person. You should die. Return Aunt Qin's life to me." Shang Qingli bit her lip, her beautiful eyes fogged with tears — Aunt Qin was her servant, but as dear as family, always by her side since she was young. Unexpectedly, she died at Sword Lifeless's hands.

How could she not seek revenge?

Moreover, what was most unbearable to her was that Aunt Qin too was a Sword Cultivator, a genius Sword Cultivator with very high talent in the way of the sword.

A short while ago, after Sword Lifeless suddenly appeared, initially Aunt Qin and Sword Lifeless clicked immediately, exchanging views on the sword, feeling like soulmates!!!

She even saw Aunt Qin and Sword Lifeless holding hands.

Shang Qingli had secretly asked Aunt Qin if she liked Sword Lifeless, and Aunt Qin did not deny it.

She was happy for Aunt Qin; Aunt Qin spent her whole life by her side without any happiness of her own — finding happiness was something cheerful.

But... what Shang Qingli never imagined was that just days ago, Sword Lifeless and Aunt Qin clashed.

Moreover, it was a life-and-death battle.

Aunt Qin perished under Sword Lifeless's sword.

"Little girl, originally, considering your sense of loyalty and virtue, and for Yuann'er's sake, I wanted to let you go multiple times. Yet you're ungrateful, making me extremely annoyed. Since that's the case, then today you'll join your Aunt Qin." Sword Lifeless bore killing intent.

In fact, after killing the old woman with the Qin surname at the time, Shang Qingli had been tracking him relentlessly, attacking multiple times!

And Sword Lifeless, holding himself in high regard and admiring Shang Qingli for her loyalty and virtue, especially since Shang Qingli was Yuann'er's dearest person, refrained from a fatal blow, sparing Shang Qingli several times.

However, everyone has a temper, especially Sword Lifeless, who is a Sword Cultivator acting on his impulse — not kind-hearted at all.

Now he's fed up.

He wants to kill.

To resolve this bothersome annoyance.

"Sword Lifeless, you're not worthy of calling 'Yuann'er'." Shang Qingli retorted angrily, her beautiful eyes now slightly red, for Yuann'er is Qin Yuan, her Aunt Qin's name.

"Hmph."

Sword Lifeless said no more.

Killing intent arose.

It shook the heavens and earth.

In an instant.

The entire world seemed to be coated in a blood-red hue.

Everyone, including Su Chen, suddenly felt an utterly freezing cold, freezing their internal organs, Mind, and Divine Soul.

Sword Lifeless appeared calm a moment ago, but now stood there like a sword, a towering Sword of Heaven!

The sword was incomparably sharp, fierce.

One sword here, everything stops; one sword here, all become souls under the sword.

Very strong!

Indeed, in the way of the sword, Sword Lifeless in front of them was extremely terrifying.

And this killing intent was directly pressed toward Shang Qingli.

Sword Lifeless is truly formidable.

The killing intent itself was even in the shape of a sword!!!

The killing intent and Sword Intent were entirely fused.

Extremely stunning, supremely strong.

With that, Shang Qingli immediately retreated three steps, injured, yet very stubborn, disregarding her injuries, wanting to charge forward head-on to fight, completely disregarding life and death, without any defense.

Her aura even grew stronger, evidently having used some Elixir that can temporarily enhance strength.

Her beautiful eyes reddened, tears spread across her exquisitely beautiful face, tragically beautiful!! Resolute!!! Heart-wrenching!

At this moment, abruptly, Su Chen raised his head, his body moved.

Like the wind.

Like a flash of lightning.

Like a shadow.

Appearing directly in front of Shang Qingli.

"Step aside." Shang Qingli hadn't expected Su Chen to stand in front of her, very shocked, deep in her eyes a bit moved, but mostly impatient and angry.

"Shut up." Su Chen harshly scolded: "This how you seek revenge? You're courting death? Are you a fool~~~~ard?!"

Su Chen's domineering, imposing, grim, and fierce curse echoed loudly in Shang Qingli's ears.

Shang Qingli was completely stunned.

And Su Chen took a deep breath, turned, looking at Sword Lifeless.

"Senior, you want to kill her?" Su Chen squinted his eyes, facing Sword Lifeless.

"Yes." In this moment, Sword Lifeless was too terrifying, extremely cold, devoid of any human aura — just a sword, a sword that knows only blood, only slaughter, only that when the sword strikes, souls are severed.

"I forbid it." Su Chen uttered three words firmly.
