If one were to hear her voice, they would know that she was quite irritated, even a little bit angered.

No less than a minute later, a male voice echoed back, giving her a reply, yet not so exactly a reply, but a threat "Surrender or court death?"

The woman who was now half-submerged in the river narrowed her eyes, "Isn"t that obvious?"

*Boom!~*

The water-soaked clothes that draped her body shook and her figure disappeared out of the water in an instant, and at the same time numerous fire, water, and wind laws exploded right at the location where she was submerged.

The mist that was already permeating in the atmosphere and the explosion turned their vision useless and made it difficult for their senses to catch her presence

The male voice which came from the sh.o.r.e once again echoed, "Did we get that woman!? If she is injured, don"t kill her yet!"

No one replied, only leaving eerie silence lingering in the air.

Soon, a few seconds pa.s.sed but the exaggerated mist from the explosion cleared and the male voice from before once again echoed around the surroundings, "Where did she go?"

"Ho? Are you searching for me?"

The owner of the male voice, who was hiding behind a tree trembled before taking a back step in an instant.

"Well well, if it isn"t Young Master Aras.h.i.+... To what do I owe you the pleasure?"

He looked at the woman in front of him before shouting like a madman, "Ymir! Come out and deal with this woman!"

The woman turned visibly confused before waving her hands.

"You!" Young Master Aras.h.i.+"s scalp turned numb.

A figure appeared, except if it came from a spatial ring, everyone could either guess it was either a corpse or a puppet.

"Ah... Is this corpse known as Ymir? I"m sorry, this corpse gave off quite the strong undulations when attacking me, so I made the decision to take care of it first..." The woman smiled as she pointed towards the corpse which appeared to have a hole in its chest.

There was no heart!! Neither was there any remnants of a soul!

Young Master Aras.h.i.+ instantly shouted as he took two steps back, terrified at the sight in front of him, "Hong! Huski! Where are you two?"

The woman then apologetically smiled, "Ah, I didn"t have time to collect their corpses, so I think it should be scattered around the area somewhere... If I remember correctly, there should be about 7 more corpses around, do you want to search for those?"

Young Master Aras.h.i.+"s eyes dilated in fear as he took a step back again before hitting a tree. He held his breath while watching the woman"s smiling yet not so smiling expression.

"How!? How!??" He shouted in his mind while suppressing his panicking heart.

"The plan was supposed to be perfect! Even if the plan wasn"t perfect, how did she kill all of them under a minute!"

All of them spread out and laid in ambush. They were originally waiting for her to be vulnerable, but since they were detected, they had no choice and unleashed their full might at the woman.

But even before a minute pa.s.sed, reality showed him that all of them were dead.

Young Master Aras.h.i.+ felt as if he entered a nightmare, but he instantly widened his eyes when he realized something, "You! You broke into the Seventh Stage!"

The woman"s smiling expression slowly faded out of existence only to be replaced by an icy stare, "How perceptive of you, Young Master Aras.h.i.+!"

She took a step forward and approached him, "Unfortunately for you, I stepped into the Seventh Stage last month."

"Wait! We can talk! My family has... Urghhwah!?"

Before he could even plead and negotiate, a dainty first came hurling towards his stomach as it connected, shattering his organs and ribs.

From the impact of the fist, he was sent flying and his body formed a hole through the trees as he crashed down on the ground.

His face turned pale. When he tried to sit up and look at his stomach, he only found a gaping hole.

A b.l.o.o.d.y hole with his broken organs and innards spilling out in a revolting manner.

Visible anger emerged on the woman"s face, "If she is injured, don"t kill her... was it? That attack that can severely injure a Peak-Level Sixth Stage Cultivator if caught unguarded, I wonder what were you going to do to me If I actually were to be caught in your schemes..."

"Pleasgh! Plea.. Lisghsten!! Ibs.." Young Master Aras.h.i.+ raised a hand towards her as he tried his best to explain but his words turned incoherent with all that blood coming out of his mouth.

He was so scared that he didn"t even think of using Soul Transmission to communicate.

He regretted! He absolutely regretted l.u.s.ting over this woman whom he thought that he could make her his in an instant.

At the time when she offended the family, she was nothing more than a Mid-Level Sixth Stage Cultivator...

Only High-Level Sixth Stage Cultivators at least had the capacity to stand against a n.o.ble family in the Xuan Capital.

He didn"t see this situation backfiring at him at all!

The woman looked at him with absolute coldness as she once again stepped forward and raised her long legs to the side as it swept towards his head in a single sweep.

A severed head flew off into the distance, hitting quite an amount of trees before coming to a stop, embedding itself on a bizarre shaped tree.

Blood splashed out from the neck, spraying the surroundings in blood-red color, even on her.

She watched the blood taint her with a detached expression as the neck spurted out all of its blood before coming to a stop.

With a wave of her hands, she collected the corpse and with a single step, traversed through the distance and stored his head which had a horrified expression. Next, she went around collecting the other corpses scattered around the forest area.

Looking at her bloodied azure robes, she thought of cleaning herself up of the blood, she walked towards the river.

Nearing the river sh.o.r.e, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the waterfall.

To be precise, she looked behind it.

"If I am not wrong, I sensed someone breaking through the moment I got attacked..." The woman wasn"t sure if it was just her imagination. She could"ve sworn that she felt undulations from that cave behind the waterfall.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, she flew and neared the cave as she pa.s.sed through the waterfall, which washed away any blood that might have been lingering on her robes or skin.

As she neared the end of the cave, she could not sense but feel that a formation was set up in this place.

"A concealment formation?" Her eyebrows narrowed as a sneer emerged on her face, "Trying to hide? Unfortunately, your breakthrough would be the cause of your death!"

Clenching her palm, she casually released a fist!
