"Wanting to get out? It's not that easy!"
A scalpel appeared in Zi Linling's hand.
Spiritual energy surged from the scalpel, and a massive blade gleamed, striking the sword energy with unstoppable force.
"Autumn Wind Slash!"
"Boom!"
A deafening sound echoed once more.
The flames of the Fiery Cage were sent scattering by the impact.
One side of the wall was forcibly cleaved open.
Zi Linling staggered back seven steps, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
The old man from the Joyful Union Sect slammed into the fiery wall behind him.
"Puff puff puff!"
Great gouts of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs were vomited out.
The arm holding the sword hung limply, its bones shattered.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
The Phoenix True Fire burned fiercely on the old man of the Joyful Union Sect, as if eager to reduce him to ashes.
He staggered to his feet, his eyes burning with fury, a chilling killing intent spreading.
"Stinking girl, I truly underestimated you! For the immense surprise you've given me, I've decided to grant you a complete corpse!"
Spiritual energy surged from the palm of the old man's intact arm from the Joyful Union Sect.
The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Sword, lying on the ground, trembled and was then drawn into his palm.
A sinister and cold voice, like a ghostly harbinger of death, resounded within the flames.
"Seven Emotions and Six Desires Sword, severing seven emotions, severing six desires, the First Sword of Supreme Detachment!"
As the old man of the Joyful Union Sect spoke, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Sword blazed with light.
The surrounding fire spiritual energy, as if summoned, rapidly gathered towards the sword.
The fire spiritual energy that converged onto the sword lost its scorching heat and became incredibly cold.
It was as if it had lost all emotions and desires, becoming a cold machine.
Zi Linling's pupils contracted. She could already feel the power of this strike.
She gritted her teeth, raised her scalpel, and shouted, "Five Elements Autumn Wind Slash!"
The so-called Five Elements Autumn Wind Slash was a fusion of the Five Elements Burst and the Autumn Wind Slash.
Of course, it wasn't a simple fusion, but rather an integration of five types of spiritual energy into the Autumn Wind Slash in a relatively balanced state.
Thus, it heavily tested one's control.
Even the slightest mistake could lead to her being severely injured before she could even unleash the sword move.
Therefore, this move was often used by Zi Linling as a trump card.
"Not good! Quickly dodge!"
From the crowd of onlookers, someone shouted, and everyone retreated in panic.
"Boom!"
The sword energy and blade energy collided again.
The Fiery Cage shattered, the surrounding sea of fire rapidly extinguished, and the ground was ploughed into a trench a thousand feet long.
The surrounding buildings collapsed on a massive scale, and dust formed a colossal vortex.
Those onlookers who did not escape the energy radius were all sent spitting blood.
Those who were slower were even blown away by the shockwave, falling to the ground like cannonballs and losing consciousness.
Zi Linling's hair was slightly disheveled, and blood again seeped from her mouth and beneath her ears.
The tiger's mouth of her right hand, holding the scalpel, was cracked, and blood dripped onto the ground.
The old man of the Joyful Union Sect was in a worse state.
His intact arm was a bloody mess, bones exposed, severed at the wrist, and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Sword that he held fell to the ground.
"You've gone too far!"
A man in a black robe appeared on the battlefield, his expression terrifyingly grim.
While burning with rage, he also felt immense regret for not having stopped them before they began fighting.
"Who are you?"
Zi Linling's pupils constricted. The black-robed man before her gave her a sense of danger.
"Hmph! You dare to fight so ferociously on the territory of our Poison Master Association, causing such great damage, and you still ask who I am?"
Poison Master Association?
Zi Linling's expression flickered slightly, then returned to calm.
Upon hearing the words "Poison Master Association," the old man of the Joyful Union Sect's face also turned grim.
"What do you want?"
The black-robed man's expression was grim. "What do I want? Xiao Shan, if I were to do this on your Joyful Union Sect's territory, how would your Joyful Union Sect react?"
Xiao Shan, naturally, was the name of the old man from the Joyful Union Sect.
"You... Pfft!"
Just as Xiao Shan was about to retort, he vomited blood again, still mixed with fragments of internal organs.
Zi Linling's previous strike had left him severely wounded.
"Commit suicide as atonement!" the black-robed man said coldly.
Suicide?
Zi Linling felt a laugh bubbling up.
What terrible luck had she encountered today? Everyone was being unreasonable, wanting her life?
She said coldly, "I'm sorry! I cannot do that!"
"Hmph!"
The black-robed man looked at Zi Linling with an unfriendly gaze. "Are you provoking our Poison Master Association?"
"Provoking?"
Zi Linling scoffed. "You say it's provoking and it is?"
"What? You're not convinced?" The black-robed man's voice became even colder.
"Why should I be convinced?" Zi Linling sneered.
"Brave indeed! You destroyed our Poison Master Association's Qingcheng and still dare to be so arrogant. Little girl, I admire you!" the black-robed man said sarcastically.
"Admire me? No, no, no!"
Zi Linling waved her hand and continued, "It is I who should admire your Poison Master Association!"
"Oh?"
The black-robed man looked at Zi Linling coldly. "Little girl, what do you want to say?"
Zi Linling sneered. "Since you're asking me to speak, I'll have a good chat with you."
"Since Qingcheng is your Poison Master Association's territory, why did you tolerate someone like Nie Rufeng committing acts of treachery, rape, and plunder, and acting wantonly?
Since Qingcheng is your Poison Master Association's territory, shouldn't you have stepped forward to stop me and Nie Rufeng before we fought?
Since Qingcheng is your Poison Master Association's territory, when I was attacked by assassins in Qingcheng, shouldn't you have given me an explanation? Sudan Novel Network
Since Qingcheng is your Poison Master Association's territory, when this old man bullied the young, why didn't you step forward to uphold justice?
In the end, you were just watching the show. However, while the show was entertaining, it didn't unfold according to your desired script, and everything escaped your control.
This led to the current situation. The reason for this situation was your carelessness.
So, you stepped forward and made me your scapegoat. As long as I commit suicide, you'll have no responsibility, right?"
The black-robed man laughed with anger in his eyes. "Little girl, I underestimated you. But what does it matter? Although you're not at your last gasp, can you defeat me in your current state?
Since you see through everything so clearly, you should know that if I kill you, I will have no mistakes and no responsibility!"
