Luli, in a natural motion, opened his eyes, revealing a scene before him that was deemed unsuitable for juvenile eyes. Frankly speaking, Lady Ye Hong possessed an admirable physique, surpassing the familiar heroines that Luli had encountered.
Ahem, there seemed to be a slight discrepancy. The other heroines all boasted long tresses, while this lady had her hair elegantly coiled.
Upon witnessing Luli's awakening, Lady Ye Hong delicately hooked a slender hand under his chin. Her elongated fingers couldn't resist caressing Luli's facial contours; indeed, the more she beheld this young man, the more he enamored Lady Ye Hong.
"Sir, allow Lady Ye to attend to you diligently! Your comfort is of utmost importance!"
As Lady Ye Hong spoke, a sudden realization struck her as she lowered her head. A long knife, resembling a ruby-hued masterpiece, was embedded in her chest.
Observing her own chest, Lady Ye Hong saw the red-sleeved knife in Luli's hands. Luli proceeded to thrust the red-sleeved knife a bit further, until the hilt met her flesh.
The sharp edge of the knife had long pierced through her back, and an eerie redness permeated through.
"Sir, why do you do this? Lady harbors no ill feelings towards you; she only wishes to attend to your needs!"
Suddenly, Luli felt something amiss. His red-sleeved knife had pierced through Lady Ye Hong's body. Considering the awakened sentience of the red-sleeved knife, it was surprising that Lady Ye Hong could articulate such coherent words effortlessly.
At Luli's ear, a sudden sound resonated—a wooden puppet fell from Lady Ye Hong's waist to the ground.
Meanwhile, Lady Ye Hong had already freed herself from the blade's edge. Observing her chest, not a trace of injury remained.
"You, handsome sir, truly lack discernment. Lady only desires to serve you, yet you seek Lady's life! Very well, since you treat Lady in such a manner, do not blame Lady for being ruthless!"
"Unfortunately, the substitute puppet I painstakingly acquired has been wasted on you!"
"As soon as I subdue you, I will have ample means to make you serve Lady obediently!"
Lady Ye Hong declared, and a gleaming long knife appeared in her hand. The long knife, resembling snow, its blade shimmering like moonlight within the room, was evidently no ordinary weapon.
The long knife emerged, and a silver crescent arc directly slew towards Luli. The crescent arc was incredibly sharp, carrying a chilling sensation that penetrated the heart and lungs.
The woman's martial artistry was not ordinary; it was the Frosty Moon Blade technique, a method imbued with icy elements.
As the blade descended, Luli's red-sleeved knife swung to intercept. The moon arc dissipated, but a chilling sensation infiltrated Luli's body.
This chill, like sharp ice needles, pierced through Luli's meridians and bones, chilling him to the core.
Despite it being summer, the bone-chilling cold indicated the terrifying nature of the woman's blade technique.
"Oh, unexpectedly, a mere newcomer in the Transcendent Realm can easily deflect my strike. Well, Lady Ye won't hold back any longer; I shall teach you a lesson!"
Lady Ye Hong's knife swiftly struck, and in an instant, she didn't even know how many strikes she had executed. Each strike carried bone-chilling cold, enveloping Luli from all directions.
The Frosty Moon Blade, an icy prison!
Luli dared not be careless at this moment. His Gale Blade Technique, refined through numerous integrations and improvements, was no longer akin to common market goods.
The Gale Blade Technique unfolded, and the resplendent red blade instantly tore through the approaching icy prison.
Luli danced as if in a snow and ice purgatory, shattering the icy prison. However, the bone-chilling cold had already caused Luli to shiver.
"Oh, quite formidable, even more than Lady Ye anticipated. Lady Ye, at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, couldn't bring you down with the Frosty Moon Blade Prison. Handsome sir, Lady Ye is growing fonder of you."
"Although the substitute puppet is precious, it pales in comparison to you, sir."
"You talk too much!"
Luli shattered the blade light; at this point, even his teeth were chattering from the cold. This woman was indeed formidable, currently the strongest adversary Luli faced.
Although Luli had slain numerous demonic beings, even those in the Divine Power and Dharma Image Realms, they were all killed when they were completely helpless.
The fox demon was already injured by the demon-sealing stone and tricked by the character "Luo" that Luli used. As for the subsequent killings of several Divine Power and Dharma Image Realm demonic beings, they were all intimidated by the demon-sealing stone. It could be said that these kills were effortless.
The Demonic Valley had the suppression of the predecessor, the Sword Saint. The powerful demonic races there couldn't resist at all; it was as easy as cutting vegetables.
Fighting against a martial artist with a higher cultivation base was something Luli had only experienced a few times. Now, facing Lady Ye Hong, at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, and given her extraordinary status—be it her possessions or martial techniques, they were far from ordinary.
As Lady Ye Hong unleashed the Frosty Moon Blade technique, Luli could only do his best to protect his
entire body with the Gale Blade Technique.
While he could fend off the blade light, the intensifying chill was becoming unbearable, threatening to freeze him.
Luli's reactions were noticeably slower; another strike from Lady Ye Hong was approaching. Luli couldn't let this woman continue like this, or he would truly be frozen stiff.
Breaking Wave Seven Blades—Luli's first strike was executed abruptly. A blade radiance tore through the blade Lady Ye Hong thrust at him. Seeing the blade radiance, Lady Ye Hong continued to direct her blade toward Luli without hesitation.
A mere newcomer in the Transcendent Realm, even with some tricks up his sleeve, Lady Ye Hong didn't believe he could do much.
With Lady Ye Hong's cultivation, even facing a fellow Transcendent Realm practitioner at the seventh or eighth level, she had confidence in easily defeating them.
As the first strike of the Breaking Wave Seven Blades clashed directly with Lady Ye Hong's blade, she began to feel that something was amiss.
This blade radiance was not something a newcomer in the Transcendent Realm could produce.
Although the blade radiance was shattered by Lady Ye Hong's long knife, the fragmented blade radiance remained incredibly sharp.
Quickly, Lady Ye Hong activated her spiritual power, forming a protective shield around her body. The fragmented blade radiance pierced into the shield before gradually dissipating.
Only now did Lady Ye Hong breathe a sigh of relief. Luli's strength had surprised her.
Despite the substantial difference in their realms, she had nearly run into trouble.
However, this was far from over. Luli's third strike was already unleashed, an unparalleled blade radiance that shattered Lady Ye Hong's long knife, cut through the reformed protective spiritual power, and, like cutting tofu, severed Lady Ye Hong's neck.
