Chapter 21 Breakthrough and Counterattack

Breaking through the difficulties and counterattacking to show your strength

"Wei Qing, you killed so many people. Today, I want you to pay with blood!" I said gritting my teeth, my voice so cold that there was no warmth at all.

Looking at this once-arrogant woman in her now miserable state, I felt no pity. To achieve her goals, she hadn't hesitated to kill innocent people, even sacrificing her entire family. Her current fate was her own fault.

"Cough cough..." Wei Qing coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, opened her eyes with difficulty, stared at me with resentment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Wei Yao, even if I die, I will not let you go..."

"You dare to be stubborn even when you are about to die!" Hao Yang roared angrily. Without waiting for my order, he jumped up and pounced on Wei Qing like a cheetah.

After signing a contract with the mysterious power, Hao Yang's strength has greatly increased. His attack was as fast as lightning and unstoppable. Wei Qing had no time to react before he hit her in the chest.

"Puff--" Wei Qing spat out another mouthful of blood, and her body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily on the ground several feet away.

"Cough... cough... cough..." Wei Qing struggled to get up, but was too seriously injured to move. She could only watch Hao Yang approaching step by step.

"What do you want to do? I tell you, I am..."

"What are you? A legitimate daughter of a family? A daughter of destiny?" I sneered and ruthlessly interrupted her. "Do you think you're still the same high-and-mighty Wei Qing? Look at yourself now. What's the difference between you and a beggar on the street?"

"You..." Wei Qing was choked by my words and couldn't speak. She could only stare at me with eyes full of resentment, as if she wanted to eat me alive.

"Hao Yang, don't waste time talking to her, just do it!" I ordered coldly.

"Yes!" Hao Yang agreed, clenching his fists and preparing to deliver the final blow to Wei Qing, when he suddenly felt a powerful force attack from the side... A dark shadow flashed by, and Elder Wei quickly swooped in front of Wei Qing. His hands flew, forming an ancient and complex seal, muttering something. Spiritual energy surged around him, and golden talismans emerged from thin air, enveloping Wei Qing like a giant net.

"Ah!" Wei Qing screamed as the giant net formed by the runes trapped her tightly. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. She looked at Elder Wei in horror, her voice trembling, "Elder, what are you...what are you going to do? I'm Wei Qing. Are you going to watch outsiders bully me?"

Elder Wei looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes devoid of any emotion: "Wei Qing, you have done so many evil things, and today is your retribution!"

I watched all this coldly, without the slightest sympathy or pity. I mobilized the mysterious power within me, and an invisible spiritual force pierced Wei Qing's mind like a sharp blade.

"Ah--" Wei Qing held her head and wailed in pain. The sins she had committed kept appearing in front of her eyes: killing clansmen, framing fellow disciples, bullying the weak... Those scenes replayed in her mind over and over again like a movie, making her feel miserable.

"No...don't..." Wei Qing groaned in pain, her spirit was on the verge of collapse.

"This is the evil result you sowed, and now it's time for you to reap the rewards." I said coldly, without a trace of warmth in my tone.

Wei Qing struggled in agony, wanting to fight back, to escape this endless torture, but… she was like a prey trapped in a net, struggling in vain, only to sink deeper and deeper. Her strength had been dwindling after the backlash of the formation, and her current attack was like an ant trying to shake a tree—ridiculous and powerless.

"Wei Yao, you will not die a good death! I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!" Wei Qing cursed at the top of her lungs, and the hatred in her eyes almost devoured me.

"I'll wait," I responded calmly, not even batting an eyelid at her meaningless threat.

Hao Yang stood aside, watching Wei Qing struggle like a trapped animal, a flicker of pity in his eyes. But he quickly remembered what Wei Qing had done to him, and the pity in his heart instantly vanished, replaced by a blazing rage.

"You vicious woman, I want you to pay for what you have done!" Hao Yang roared, and rushed towards Wei Qing like a cheetah. The spiritual power in his hand gathered into a sharp blade, and with a fierce murderous aura, he stabbed it fiercely into her chest.

"Puff..." The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was particularly harsh in the silent night. Wei Qing groaned, spitting a large mouthful of blood. Her body collapsed to the ground, her once fierce eyes becoming unfocused. Only her weak breathing proved she was still alive.

I watched all this with a cold heart, without the slightest wavering feeling in my heart. I never showed mercy to my enemies, let alone someone as evil as Wei Qing.

"It's over." I said lightly, turning around and preparing to leave.

"No...it's not over yet..."

At this moment, Wei Qing, who was lying on the ground, suddenly made a weak sound. She raised her head with difficulty, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. In that smile, there was a hint of madness and... relief?

My heart trembled, a sense of foreboding welling up inside me. Before I could react, I saw Wei Qing mumbling something, and a strange aura emanated from her… It was cold, damp, and stagnant, like countless poisonous insects crawling around my ears, making my scalp tingle. I instinctively took a step back, staring at Wei Qing warily, alarm bells ringing in my heart.

"No! Stop her!" Elder Wei suddenly shouted, a flicker of fear in his cloudy eyes. He quickly made a hand gesture, and a beam of golden light shot towards Wei Qing, but it seemed to hit an invisible wall and bounced back.

"Hahaha... too late! Everything is too late!" Wei Qing's laughter grew louder and sharper, like the cry of a night owl, making people's hair stand on end. The wounds on her body healed at a visible speed, and her originally pale face became rosy, but her eyes became even more sinister and terrifying, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"What did you do?!" I asked harshly, feeling a strong sense of unease rising in my heart.

Wei Qing didn't answer, only laughing wildly, her laughter filled with despair and madness. She struggled to her feet, her once fragile body now brimming with strength. She slowly raised her hand and pointed at me, her voice hoarse and cold. "Wei Yao, do you think you've won? Do you think you can truly escape fate? I'm telling you, you're wrong! Everything you have will be mine! Even your body..."

Before she could finish her words, her laughter suddenly stopped as if someone had grabbed her by the neck. She clutched her chest in pain, her body trembling violently, and her face became hideous and terrifying.

"Ah—" Wei Qing let out a shrill scream, as if she was in immense pain. She lay on the ground and began to roll around frantically, her clothes torn to shreds, revealing her bloodstained skin.

I stared at the scene in astonishment, my mind bewildered. What on earth could have caused this sudden change?

Wei Qing lay on the ground, suddenly ceasing her struggles. She slowly raised her head, looking at me with eyes filled with resentment and... sorrow. A strange smile played at the corners of her mouth, and with her last bit of strength she spoke, "Wei Yao, do you think... you really understand... yourself? Do you think... everything you have... is what you deserve? Let me tell you..."
