A crisp, cracking sound rang out in the surroundings, and even the bustling crowd had heard it.
“What broke?”
The people looked around in confusion and shock. When their eyes fell upon the battle stage, the expression on their face became odd.
“Eh?”
“Is that…”
“How is it possible?”
Everyone looked at Lou Xingchen in shock.
Lou Xingchen did not like those gazes and frowned. However, as she glanced at her own body, her face instantly paled.
The armor on her body was shattering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Spider silk-like patterns were spreading on the surface of the armor.
“My armor! My holy light armor! How could it be possible!” Lou Xingchen’s voice trembled in shock.
“Don’t you know?” Lou Qianxue sneered. “Lightning sword intent already has the power of a heavenly martial art. Although your armor is invincible against attacks under the Mystic Martial Realm, it’s vulnerable to attacks from the heavenly realm. There’s nothing strange about it even if it breaks.”
“Why is the sword intent so powerful? No way! You’re lying! You must be lying to me!” Lou Xingchen felt defeated. She shook her head in disbelief and looked up. “Lou Qianxue, you ruined my armor. I’m going to kill you!!!”
With her Spirit Item in hand, Lou Xingchen moved at lightning speed with an expression full of murderous intent.
“Kill me? With what?”
Lou Qianxue said in a cold voice as she pointed her sword at the ground. “Frosted Distance!”
At the next moment,
Thick frost covered the ground beside her feet and spread toward Lou Xingchen at an extremely fast speed. The frost climbed up her legs and her body. It froze her and her weapons along with the ground.
“You!” Lou Xingchen’s body was wrapped by the strong and cold power. She could not move even one bit.
Fright engulfed Lou Xingchen’s senses. “Lou Qianxue, let me go. If you have what it takes, fight me head-on. What’s so great about making sneak attacks like this?”
“Sneak attacks?” Lou Qianxue stepped on the transparent ice crystal and walked toward Lou Xingchen step by step. “Lou Xingchen, not only are you pretentious, but you also like to lie through your teeth. When did I sneak an attack? Frosted Distance—Didn’t I just tell you that I was going to use it?”
When she looked at Lou Xingchen’s Spirit Item, Lou Qianxue’s eyes became full of mockery. “Even if you have a Spirit Item, it has to work first!”
Lou Xingchen mobilized her inner strength in fear and saw the ice crystals begin to melt. As she became ecstatic, a cold long sword pressed her neck.
“Lou Xingchen.”
Lou Qianxue looked at her former sister with frosty eyes. “Six years ago, my mother saw you as a lonely and pitiful orphan. So, she brought you back to the City Lord’s Mansion to be my maid. For the last six years—since you were someone that my mother had left behind—I had never regarded you as a servant, and instead treated you like a sister. But what did you do?”
A bloody-red ray spread across Lou Qianxue’s eyes, and she tightened her fingers around the Frost Sword. “Ungrateful! Heartless! You schemed against me and even ganged up with Jiang Suying. You drove out my mother, who brought you into the City Lord’s Mansion. The most unforgivable part is that you all had wasted her cultivation!”
When she reached the end of her speech, a strong murderous intent flashed in Lou Qianxue’s eyes.
“What?” On the raised stage, not only was Lou Potian stunned, but even Lou Jingfeng’s brain became blank. The Qingyun city’s lord glared at Jiang Suying and said, “You drove Lou Xuanji away? And you even abolished her cultivation?”
All the people in the city liked to say that Lou Xuanji had left because the City Lord had broken her heart, but only Lou Jingfeng knew that Lou Xuanji never liked him.
He had always thought that Lou Xuanji had left on his own accord. He could’ve never thought…
