Ye Zhaozhao was approaching Li Shuang when she suddenly noticed that the red dot representing Li Shuang on the map was moving at high speed.
Ye Zhaozhao's expression changed slightly.
Could the prey she had in her grasp still escape Li Shuang?
On the snowy mountain, it was that good-for-nothing Long Yan who failed to kill Li Shuang, leading to a series of subsequent changes.
This time.
She wouldn't let the previous mistake repeat itself.
Li Shuang!
Must die!
As long as she died.
Her luck, her talent, and her newly awakened sword spirit would all become hers.
She would replace Li Shuang and become the true favored daughter of heaven.
Ye Zhaozhao had even imagined Li Shuang's desperate, incredulous eyes before her death. Her body even trembled slightly with excitement.
Perhaps.
Heaven destined her to kill Li Shuang with her own hands, to end the grievances between them.
Ye Zhaozhao didn't want to wait any longer.
She took a deep breath and said, "System, unseal my cultivation!"
If she returned to her Nascent Soul stage strength, she could catch up to Li Shuang in just a few breaths, and kill her in an instant!
This had nothing to do with talent anymore!
Li Shuang was still only in the Qi Condensation stage.
Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul.
She was two major stages above Li Shuang!
Even the most peerless genius would be like a clay chicken or a pottery dog in the face of such a power gap.
Her strength was unsealed in that instant.
Ye Zhaozhao's speed suddenly increased to a terrifying degree.
Li Shuang immediately felt this extreme pressure, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
No, this wasn't right.
In the Langya Secret Realm, even demon beasts wouldn't exceed the peak of Foundation Establishment.
But the pressure she was feeling now was definitely not just from the peak of Foundation Establishment, it wasn't even the pressure that a Golden Core stage cultivator could bring.
She herself had stayed in the Nascent Soul stage for a long time, and she quickly realized what was happening.
This pressure!
Someone was actually pursuing her with Nascent Soul stage cultivation!
Such a thing was simply unheard of!
The Langya Secret Realm had existed for so many years, and no cultivator had ever been known to break through its restrictions!
Yet, the person approaching carried an overwhelming malice that was exceptionally familiar to her.
The person pursuing her was...
Ye Zhaozhao?!
Li Shuang's expression shifted slightly.
If it were anyone else, they might not necessarily be coming to kill her.
After all, with the sudden disruption by the demon race, the disciples of the Six Sects were supposed to be united against a common enemy.
But if Ye Zhaozhao had suddenly recovered her Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
Li Shuang knew very well that she must be coming to kill her!
Li Shuang's gaze moved.
She alone absolutely could not contend with a Nascent Soul stage Ye Zhaozhao.
But she also didn't believe that Ye Zhaozhao could maintain her Nascent Soul stage cultivation indefinitely.
Otherwise.
Given the intensity of Ye Zhaozhao's killing intent towards her, she would have already made a move to kill her!
Now.
There was only one thing she needed to do.
That was to buy time!
As long as she bought enough time, she would have a chance to survive.
Li Shuang quickly began to think.
She headed directly towards the direction of the beast roars in the distance.
After opening the Heaven and Earth Furnace, Li Shuang's next plan was originally to hunt demon beasts.
Now, with the unexpected turn of events involving Ye Zhaozhao, she might as well divert the trouble.
However.
Ye Zhaozhao's speed was too fast, and Li Shuang didn't have time to lead her to where the demon beasts were.
In just a few blinks of an eye.
Ye Zhaozhao's voice already sounded behind Li Shuang.
"Senior Sister Li, where are you going? Why don't we travel together?" Ye Zhaozhao's words carried a hint of coldness. In her eyes, Li Shuang was already doomed, and there was no need for her to conceal anything from a dead person.
Li Shuang didn't respond, merely fleeing rapidly into the distance. Something silently appeared from her sleeve.
Ye Zhaozhao sneered.
This Li Shuang was quite perceptive.
But!
It was too late!
In the face of absolute power, everything else was futile!
Ye Zhaozhao instantly appeared before Li Shuang, then she raised a palm and struck towards Li Shuang's crown.
The attack landed fiercely.
A hint of glee flashed in Ye Zhaozhao's eyes; she couldn't wait to see Li Shuang's panicked expression.
The next moment.
Yellow sand flew everywhere, and Ye Zhaozhao's expression changed slightly.
Where was Li Shuang?
What was going on!
Where was that big Li Shuang?
Why had she suddenly disappeared?
Could it be.
Was she beaten to dust?
Ye Zhaozhao waited excitedly for a moment, then her expression changed slightly.
No.
If Li Shuang had died, the system would have immediately given feedback.
Her cultivation, her talent, her luck, should all be hers.
But now...
The system had no reaction at all!
"System, where is Li Shuang? Didn't she die? Why is there no feedback?" Ye Zhaozhao said with some reluctance.
The system's cold voice sounded, "The system does not make mistakes. There is only one reason for no feedback: Li Shuang is still alive."
Ye Zhaozhao's face instantly turned ugly.
She couldn't help but glance at the map.
On the map, the red dot representing Li Shuang had also mysteriously disappeared.
Yet the system said Li Shuang was still alive!
How was this possible?
The system's cold voice rang out: "She must have entered some strange space, but she can't stay there forever; she'll have to come out eventually. I suggest the host wait in place. Also, a reminder to the host, this time you used up a full five breaths of your unsealed power. You only have... the last four breaths of Nascent Soul stage power remaining."
Ye Zhaozhao's face changed again.
She had never expected it.
Li Shuang was still unharmed, yet she had already used up most of her unsealed time.
Only four breaths of unsealed time remained.
This meant she only had one last chance!
Damn it!
Is this the Heavenly Dao's chosen heroine?
This Li Shuang was truly difficult to kill.
Ye Zhaozhao's expression shifted, and she simply sat down cross-legged on the spot.
The system said Li Shuang had entered some strange space.
What kind of space could keep Li Shuang for a lifetime?
She would just wait here for the rabbit to come to her.
When Li Shuang emerged, that would be her downfall.
Inheritance Space.
Li Shuang bowed respectfully to Su Mu: "Thank you, Senior."
At the final moment of life and death, she had entered the Inheritance Space, thus dodging a fatal blow.
Su Mu smiled, "This is also because you worked hard enough and truly entered the path of heartless cultivation. With all the functions of the inheritance jade slip activated, I can transform the jade slip into grains of sand. As long as it doesn't move on its own, no one will discover anything."
Now.
In this vast desert, one grain of sand was the transformed inheritance jade slip.
Senior Su Mu's ability to create illusions was truly masterful; the jade slip hidden among the swirling yellow sand left no trace at all.
At this moment.
In the Inheritance Space, the scene was different from before.
The space was no longer a vast expanse of white; Li Shuang looked up to see a simple bamboo hut.
In front of the bamboo hut was a small lake, and Su Mu was leisurely fishing with a bamboo rod.
