165: The consequences of being heartless and cruel

The aggressive posture and the deep hatred made a warning bell ring in Su Yuheng's heart.

"Escape!"

In an instant, her mind was made up. She immediately faked a move, sending out a Palm Qi, then activated the seven-colored stone cord on her wrist, emitting a dazzling light.

"Hmph."

Shen Lian swept his Folding Fan, easily deflecting the incoming Palm Strike. Looking in the direction Su Yuheng had disappeared, he revealed a cruel smile.

"Escape? Can you escape?"

In just an instant, he had transformed into Yin and Yang Qi and disappeared from Qixuan Pavilion... Outside Xiyue City, Su Yuheng was like a great enemy, leaping hundreds of miles in one breath, rushing through a small forest.

"Damn it, how could it be Shen Lian? This lickspittle actually chased me to the Spirit Realm."

"No, I must leave the Spirit Realm; it's no longer safe here."

Just as Su Yuheng began to ponder her escape route, a sharp killing intent suddenly assailed her.

"Ah..."

A soft shout forced Su Yuheng to stop her rapid pace.

After steadying herself and looking closely, she saw Shen Lian's back, standing firm and unmoving, ten zhang ahead.

"bitch, where do you plan to run off to?"

The question made Su Yuheng involuntarily retreat several steps. Her left hand instinctively gripped the seven-colored stone cord on her wrist, wanting to use it a second time.

But... "Different Paths, Same Destination, Reverse Killing Array."

Shen Lian was a step ahead, raising his hand to set up a Barrier around the entire small forest.

"You..."

Su Yuheng immediately panicked.

"bitch, today we will settle this."

Shen Lian turned around, his eyes flashing with blood-red light. As his killing intent surged, the surrounding trees all snapped and broke.

"Shen Lian, are you really going to do this to me?"

At this point, Su Yuheng could only resort to her old tricks, intending to awaken his "conscience" so she could escape.

"Then tell me, how should I treat you? bitch!"

In his cold words, there was no trace of the tenderness of the past.

Su Yuheng knew that if she wanted to live today, there was only one path.

That was—

"Kill!"

With her resolve firm, Su Yuheng drew two profound-grade spirit swords with both hands. Although not as powerful as Starfall, they were still rare Spiritual Artifacts in the world.

"Starfall Severance."

"Meteorite Stab."

The Starfall Sword Intent was unleashed, and streaks of life-threatening Sword Qi rushed directly towards Shen Lian.

But Shen Lian stood with his hands behind his back, neither dodging nor evading, taking a step and causing a tremor, slowly approaching Su Yuheng with an extreme sense of oppression.

Several Sword Qi blasts hit three feet in front of Shen Lian, only to be blocked by his spontaneously operating Indestructible Dao Body, unable to harm even a single hair on Shen Lian.

"How can this be? This is..."

In her great shock, Su Yuheng's twin swords suddenly merged into one.

Immediately, Sword Qi pierced through the clouds, causing a slight change in the heavens and earth.

"Star River Flow!"

With a swing of her sword, Su Yuheng poured in all ten tenths of her cultivation, seeking survival in desperation.

However, reality was so cruel and unyielding.

The moment this ultimate sword strike hit Shen Lian, it was once again completely neutralized by the Indestructible Dao Body.

"What? What kind of demonic art is this?"

At this moment, Su Yuheng was utterly despairing.

Her Sword Qi couldn't even break through Shen Lian's Protective Qi. Just how profound was his cultivation now?

"Su Yuheng, the hundreds of years of grievances will be settled today."

The cold words rang out, announcing Su Yuheng's impending doom.

Shen Lian merely raised his hand slightly, and a force of Dao Rhyme directly covered Su Yuheng's twin swords.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of metal breaking, the two Spirit Swords in her hands shattered into powder.

"Hah~"

Following a deep shout, Shen Lian directly struck Su Yuheng's chest with a palm.

Just as Su Yuheng thought she was going to die, she found that the Unparalleled Protection she wore actually blocked the attack.

"Haha, it's Unparalleled Protection, Shen Lian, you..."

However, her laughter ceased as she felt a penetrating current of Qi directly surge into her body.

"Ah~"

A tragic wail echoed through the small forest.

Shen Lian activated his hidden force, directly sending Su Yuheng flying through the Unparalleled Protection.

Bang~

With a loud crash, Su Yuheng's back heavily impacted a large tree.

Crack.

The tree snapped in response, and Su Yuheng, disheveled and covered in blood, collapsed into a pool of blood.

"Ugh, I, I..."

Su Yuheng struggled to get up, her hands constantly clawing at the muddy ground.

Just as she was about to rise, Shen Lian's leather boot appeared before her eyes.

"bitch~"

With an angry shout, Shen Lian lifted his leg and kicked her directly in the face, sending her flying.

Along with her, two of Su Yuheng's front teeth flew out.

Before she could even catch her breath after falling again, Shen Lian stomped on her cheek once more.

"Su Yuheng, how does it feel to fall into the mud? Everything you are experiencing now is what I experienced back then. How is it, satisfied?"

After speaking, he lifted his leg and stomped down heavily.

Immediately, the ground cracked three feet deep, and Su Yuheng's entire body was trampled into the earth.

"Pfft~"

Another mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, staining her once delicate face crimson.

"Why, Unparalleled Protection, how, how could it..."

"With your ant-like brain, you'll never understand the maximum endurance of Unparalleled Protection. For such a divine item to be worn by you is the greatest humiliation of my life, Shen Lian!"

Shen Lian roared, raised his hand to pull Su Yuheng from the ground, tightly gripped her neck, and forcefully flung her onto a tree.

Instantly, Su Yuheng was impaled on the large tree in a "Jesus"-like posture.

At this moment, Su Yuheng was on her last breath, but the instinct to survive made her unwilling to die like this.

Watching Shen Lian approach step by step, she opened her toothless lips and began to plead bitterly: "Senior Brother, I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?

I promise I'll never treat you like that again. Please, please give me another chance to make amends. I will definitely cherish you,

Bear children for you, be your wife. Please spare me, okay?"

"Ahahaha."

Shen Lian was truly amused by Su Yuheng's words.

"Do you think Shen Lian would be interested in a shameless secondhand good?"

He walked over to Su Yuheng, then raised his hand to activate the "Grand Dao Forging Hand," instantly transforming nearby rocks into steel nails.

"Shameless hussy, still daring to utter foul words even at death's door, it truly infuriates me!"

As his voice fell, a steel nail was brutally driven into Su Yuheng's palm.

"Ah~"

Extreme pain instantly swept through Su Yuheng's entire body, but before she could adapt to the current change, another steel nail was driven into her other palm.

"Ah, ugh~"

Su Yuheng's face twisted in pain.

"Senior Brother, you can't do this to me. I haven't, haven't let Ye Fan touch me yet, I, I'm still clean. If you don't believe me, try it yourself~"

Even at this point, if there was a sliver of hope, Su Yuheng wouldn't let it go.

But the Shen Lian before her was no longer the Fei Yangyang of the past.

"I think you, bitch, misunderstood. Regardless of whether Ye Fan was involved, based solely on everything you've done to me, I still wouldn't spare you."

"Furthermore, a woman with such a vicious heart as you, what right do you have to serve me, Shen Lian? Your destination is eternal damnation~"

With that, Shen Lian directly hammered the third steel nail into Su Yuheng's forehead.

In an instant, everything in heaven and earth became calm.

But as Shen Lian's spell was activated, the three steel nails resonated, causing the Qi flow within Su Yuheng's body to rapidly backfire, emitting an extremely terrifying wail, like a ghost.

Boom~

After a soft explosion, Su Yuheng's skullcap flew high into the air.

Along with it flew chunks of brain matter.

"The fifth one."

Feeling the remnant soul enter the human emperor cauldron, Shen Lian's irritable emotions gradually calmed.

Without even glancing at Su Yuheng's horrifying corpse, he turned and walked out of the small forest.
