"Thud!"
A muffled sound followed by a shrill scream, accompanied by heavy, huffing breaths.
After a while, the significantly drained Dong Xiaoyan stumbled out with her sword, her body covered in numerous injuries. She fiercely lifted her long sword and mercilessly chopped off the head of her barely alive target!
"You've lived for over three hundred years, claimed hundreds of thousands of lives... Did you seriously think no one on this earth would dare to kill you? Justice may delay, but it never fails!"
Dong Xiaoyan panted heavily, "…Others might fear this or that, but I'm not afraid!"
"The hundreds of thousands of souls, they are watching you from above! They are waiting for you! Waiting for the day you join them!"
"Hurry up and join them! They have been waiting too long!"
