"Aoyue, I owe you too much."
"Although I do not know which of us is the elder sister and which is the younger sister."
"But, let me be the elder sister."
As Li Xianyao finished speaking, she slashed with her sword.
A bloody gash immediately appeared on her flawless, jade-like face.
Blood fell like tears, staining her jade-like face.
"This sword strike is for the suffering I owe you all these years, for failing to take care of you, my younger sister, as an elder sister should!"
Li Xianyao parted her lips and looked at Dongfang Aoyue.
"You..." Dongfang Aoyue's pupils trembled, and she froze in place.
Then, Li Xianyao slashed with her sword again!
"This sword strike is in repentance for never having fulfilled my filial duties for a single day before Mother passed away!"
Dongfang Aoyue gripped the sword she was holding tightly.
Then, Li Xianyao struck with the third sword!
"This sword strike is the price I pay for my foolishness in recognizing my enemy as my father!"
Three sword strikes landed!
On Li Xianyao's face—so exquisite that even the heavens would be jealous—appeared three bloody wounds, with blood dripping down, looking tragically beautiful!
Anyone who saw this scene would tremble and feel pity.
No woman would truly be indifferent to her own appearance.
And this is especially true for the most beautiful women.
Li Xianyao possessed a stunning beauty bestowed by the heavens.
In the World within a World, there was even a saying: "If there are no immortals in the heavens, one sees Xianyao in the mortal world."
But at this moment, Li Xianyao had personally carved three sword marks onto her flawless face!
What kind of resolve was this!
"Are you crazy?"
Even Dongfang Aoyue could not help but roar when she saw the glaring blood on Li Xianyao's face.
Li Xianyao smiled, blood staining her tragically beautiful lips red.
"This is what I owe you, Aoyue."
"I know that this small price is far from enough to make amends."
"But, please give me time and a chance to make it up to you."
As Li Xianyao spoke, she very calmly put on her veil.
Others would not know that the face beneath this veil was no longer flawless.
"You are just stupid. Do you think I will forgive you just like this?"
Dongfang Aoyue turned around.
She thought she was the Blood Princess who would never shed tears.
But at this moment, an indescribable emotion was surging in her heart.
And before this, the only one who had made her feel this way... besides her mother, was only Jun Xiaoyao.
"Yes, I am stupid, so for so many years, I have been kept in the dark, just like a marionette."
Li Xianyao smiled, a hint of self-mockery in her expression.
Dongfang Aoyue sat down, her back to Li Xianyao.
Although the atmosphere remained quiet, the previous murderous intent and confrontation were gone.
Clearly, Li Xianyao's actions had not completely failed to move Dongfang Aoyue.
"Wipe the blood off your face. If Xiaoyao finds out, he might think it was me who did it."
Dongfang Aoyue said coldly.
Li Xianyao smiled.
As long as she could resolve the rift with Dongfang Aoyue, she felt that this small price was nothing at all.
Then, Li Xianyao spoke again, chatting with Dongfang Aoyue.
Her temperament was rather rigid, and her life was very dull, so there was not much to talk about.
She could only talk about how she had Cultivated these years, how she handled the affairs of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, and how she lived a life devoid of vitality.
Dongfang Aoyue did not reply a single word, and it was unknown if she was listening.
But Li Xianyao was already very satisfied.
This should be the first time they, as sisters, had spoken so quietly, without confrontation and without swords pointed at each other.
Li Xianyao did not tell Dongfang Aoyue about Jiang Shengyi.
Because Li Xianyao felt that when Jun Xiaoyao had previously approached Dongfang Aoyue, it was likely due to the factor of Jiang Shengyi.
If Dongfang Aoyue found out about this, her emotions would likely fluctuate again.
She had already suffered enough pain; there was no need to let her know about such things.
And at the same time, outside the Shattered Abyss.
The heavens and earth were in turmoil, and a rain of blood was falling.
A scent of blood permeated the air, and blood mist sprayed out.
This place was already a scene of misery.
Many beings from the Yuan Demon Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan, including those two quasi-emperor experts at the level of the Top Ten Experts, had all fallen.
They had all fallen, blasted apart by Jun Xiaoyao, with blood raining and splashing everywhere.
There was also Zhong Yingying of the Yuding Merchant Alliance, who had also been directly killed by Jun Xiaoyao, her fragrance dissipating and her jade body perishing.
This made Dongfang Hao's eyes split with rage.
It was not that he liked Zhong Yingying that much.
Zhong Yingying was the bridge connecting him to the Yuding Merchant Alliance.
Dongfang Hao had been planning to make the Yuding Merchant Alliance one of his backgrounds.
As a result, it was cut off just like that.
However, it was not that Dongfang Hao did not want to save her.
Because at this moment, even he himself was covered in blood.
If not for the protection of the immortal prison pagoda, he would likely be in grave danger as well.
The other person still alive was Li Chengtian.
But at this moment, he was also covered in blood.
He stared at Jun Xiaoyao with a ferocious gaze.
Deep in his pupils, a kind of shock was hidden.
Previously in the Hunxu Star Realm, he had also come into contact with Jun Xiaoyao.
At that time, he felt that Jun Xiaoyao's strength was unfathomable.
Therefore, he had reservations and did not truly make a move.
But now, how long had it been?
He actually felt that compared to when he was in the Hunxu Star Realm, Jun Xiaoyao's strength had improved again, becoming even more immeasurable.
Clearly, Jun Xiaoyao's Realm had not changed, but he was just a large margin stronger than before.
Li Chengtian had thought that during this period, by plundering many living beings through the Demon Fetus Parasitic Art, his strength had greatly increased, and he would be able to suppress Jun Xiaoyao.
Thinking about it now, he was still too naive.
His speed of Cultivating was fast, but Jun Xiaoyao would only be faster than him.
Boom!
Another collision occurred.
Li Chengtian spat blood and retreated repeatedly.
This was still with him having made great progress during this period.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to even take a few moves from Jun Xiaoyao.
"Come again!"
Li Chengtian roared, he was absolutely unwilling to be defeated just like this.
Behind him, incomparably dazzling divine light surged.
The light came from behind him, and it seemed that various ancient patterns emerged, outlining an incomparably profound ancient diagram.
This was another of Li Chengtian's talents.
An ancient Dao diagram was inscribed on his back.
He usually would not manifest it; this was his trump card.
Most of those who had seen it had already fallen.
"Heaven-Connecting Diagram, Suppress!"
Li Chengtian unleashed his trump card.
He was claimed to have the fortune of inheriting Heaven.
And this Heaven-Connecting Diagram was the ancient diagram inscribed within his body.
When activated, it could borrow the momentum of heaven and earth to suppress everything.
In the Void Realm, light patterns crisscrossed and intertwined, turning into a vast scroll.
Li Chengtian, carrying unparalleled power, brought the Heaven-Connecting Diagram down to suppress, wanting to pin down Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were calm.
Such a talent of Li Chengtian might be a great trump card for others.
But for the Chaos Body, even heaven and earth were derived from Chaos.
What use was a mere Heaven-Connecting Diagram?
But Jun Xiaoyao did not use the power of the Chaos Body.
Because it was just right to use Li Chengtian as a whetstone to test another method he had newly acquired.
From Jun Xiaoyao's body, a profound Sword Intent gushed out, which, while sharp, also carried the power of time, even affecting the surrounding environment of heaven and earth.
It was precisely the Time Sword Intent!
