101: Bonds are forged, souls intertwine

The two souls, amidst the intertwining of this power, were inevitably entangled together.

The boundaries between them gradually blurred.

That face was exquisite and sublime, its features like a perfect work of art. The black bow was undone, and her crimson hair flowed down to her waist.

However, upon her face, a trace of daze was mixed with boundless fury.

It was as if she were saying: You're dead... Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the air appeared to solidify.

So gentle, truly wonderful beyond compare... After an unknown amount of time, Yao Yian slowly opened his eyes to see a hazy Secret Realm sky.

Clearly, they had already entered the interior of this Secret Realm.

Yao Yian suddenly felt a bit of discomfort, as if something was on top of him.

Glancing slightly, he was shocked to find a red-haired girl lying prone on his chest.

Her bright red hair spilled down like flames, framing her pretty face.

The girl's eyes were closed, and a faint blush still lingered on her beautiful, fair cheeks, soft and charming.

Most importantly, the clothes on her body could only be described as strips of cloth.

Yao Yian was stunned at first, then that memory of the Soul Fusion slowly surfaced... He and she... in their souls, they had actually done that... He seemed to have even shuddered... "H-How can this be?"

Yao Yian was dazed, his head buzzing as if he had been struck by lightning.

However, the reality of the situation forced him to quickly snap back to his senses.

If he didn't think of a solution to this matter, his life would be in grave danger.

One must know, this red-haired girl was an existence who could slaughter even a crowd of evil cultivators until the world turned dark.

His mind was full of images of her treading upon countless corpses.

In short, she was terrifying.

Just as Yao Yian was thinking frantically, the red-haired beauty's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

In the next moment, she slowly woke up and opened her eyes.

It was as if cold stars were reflected in her eyes, revealing an unquestionable indifference.

She flipped up and leaped to her feet, quickly scanning the surroundings.

Her gaze finally locked onto Yao Yian's face, her eyes flickering with flames of disgust and hatred.

She first swiped at her spatial ring, a white light shone, and she instantly changed into clean, tidy clothes.

Then, she suddenly formed a hand seal.

In an instant, ten radiant ceremonial blades appeared around her body.

"Um, listen to my explanation...!"

Yao Yian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly cried out, "Things aren't actually how you imagine..."

However, the red-haired girl ignored his defense, her cold eyes still reflecting determination.

She pressed two fingers together and swiped quickly; two ceremonial blades, carrying endless killing intent, attacked him fiercely.

Following them was the sound of air being torn apart, like a cloud-piercing crack!

The two ceremonial blades turned into shining cold light, arriving in the blink of an eye!

"It's over."

Yao Yian had no time to resist and could only close his eyes, waiting for death to descend.

However, the expected pain did not arrive as scheduled.

Doubt prompted him to slowly open his eyes.

What he saw gave him a huge shock.

The two ceremonial blades aimed right at him were suspended in mid-air, only an inch away from him.

Yao Yian could even see the patterns on these two ceremonial blades clearly.

What happened?

Could it be that she doesn't want to kill me anymore?

Seeing this scene, doubt first appeared in the red-haired beauty's eyes.

Then, it was replaced by a look of rage.

In the next moment, her jade hand suddenly grabbed, catching one of the floating ceremonial blades.

With a bang.

She threw it fiercely toward Yao Yian!

Whoosh!

That ceremonial blade, carrying a violent wind, hurtled straight toward Yao Yian's heart!

Yao Yian was terrified, his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Under the opponent's incredibly fast movement, he couldn't even make the reaction to cover his head.

Then, something that made his jaw drop happened.

—The spirit blade protects its master!

"Clang!" A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.

The two ceremonial blades that had been floating quietly in front of Yao Yian moved.

They instantly tumbled and turned, meeting the incoming blade edge at high speed.

Like loyal guards, they clashed with a clang, blocking the sharpness of that blade.

Bang!

A huge impact sound echoed.

That incredibly fierce ceremonial blade actually flew backward and plunged straight into the distant mountain wall, producing a heavy, massive thud.

In an instant, the mountain wall was shaved flat, and rocks tumbled down.

Seeing this, the red-haired beauty's beautiful brows slowly furrowed.

And then an even more surprising thing happened: the two ceremonial blades suddenly separated.

They respectfully circled in front of Yao Yian.

The red-haired beauty frowned her lovely brows, then formed a hand seal, attempting to recall those two ceremonial blades.

With a hum, ceremonial blades returned.

However, besides the one from the mountain wall returning to land behind her, the two beside Yao Yian remained completely unmoved.

No matter how she summoned them, it was useless.

Her exquisite little face reflected flames of anger, and she was so furious that her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

My blades... But she took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart.

She knew that it would be very difficult for her to kill the opponent today.

Moreover, the Restriction of this Secret Realm was about to be lifted, and powerful enemies would surely swarm in.

She had to quickly recover her state to deal with the series of battles ahead.

There was no more time to waste.

I'll leave your dog life for now; if I get the chance, I will surely kill you!

And take back my blades!

Thus, the red-haired beauty turned around.

With a movement of her figure, she leaped into the air.

The eight ceremonial blades behind her instantly shattered, and the numerous fragments transformed into a majestic Black Giant Eagle.

It was just about to spread its wings and fly high.

But an accident occurred; this giant eagle was missing a wing.

Because it lost its balance, it fell heavily, and the red-haired beauty fell to the ground along with it.

She quickly scrambled up from the ground and stabilized her footing.

She gave Yao Yian another cold look.

Seeing this, a bitter smile couldn't help but appear on Yao Yian's face.

"Um... listen to me... this can't be blamed on me."

The red-haired beauty remained silent and leaped up again.

This time, the eight ceremonial blades recombined.

They transformed into a Black Flood Dragon and flew off into the distance without looking back.

Watching the departing red-haired beauty, Yao Yian's gaze was complex.

Although... but... sigh... she just left like that?

Without even leaving a name?

However, he surprisingly discovered that he could actually vaguely perceive the other person's location.

Well, that's not too bad.

Yao Yian beckoned, and one of the ceremonial blades behind him gently landed in his palm.

This ceremonial blade was entirely pitch-black, with a simple and elegant design.

Its surface was covered with exquisite and profound patterns. Just looking at it, one could feel a sense of pressure.

Not bad, they are two divine Sharp Weapons.

"Now, there's no one else here."

"Tang Heng, should we talk about some things?"

In the distance, Tang Heng slowly stood up.

"We indeed should have a good talk."

"I happen to have many things to say to you as well..."
