My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

The dawn's light unveils the veil of night, revealing a brilliant morning glow.

The crimson dawn, like pieces of tinder, was embedded in the horizon, and the mountains and rivers were shrouded in a soft yet dim red light.

Also within this red light were several figures locked in combat.

Ji Yunshuang, wielding her sword, relentlessly attacked Prince Duan, each move a deadly strike. Lu Yinheng, meanwhile, was locked in a fierce battle with the witch, fighting with the same reckless abandon.

That night, after discovering that the witch had escaped with Prince Duan, she and Lu Yinheng chased after her.

During the operation, Ji Yunshuang never saw the witch lift a finger; she was simply directing those disgusting insects.

She initially thought the priestess didn't know kung fu.

It was only then that she discovered the priestess not only knew kung fu, but was even more powerful than she had imagined.

Lu Yinheng was also somewhat surprised.

Because of his memories from his previous life, and the fact that he had faced the priestess twice in this life, and that the priestess had only commanded insects to attack people, he made incorrect predictions.

The priestess was not only very skilled in martial arts, but she was even more skilled than him.

During his battle with the priestess, he was stabbed several times by the soft sword that the priestess pulled from her waist.

However, the soft sword did not pierce the protective suit he was wearing.

The protective suit was incredibly tough; it not only failed to harm him, but its sheer hardness actually broke the sword in the priestess's hand.

The priestess had never imagined encountering such a situation, and her face showed an expression of utter disbelief.

Finally, he spoke, "Who are you? What are you wearing?"

Ji Yunshuang pierced the Prince of Duan's chest with her sword and preemptively replied, "A monster like you has no right to ask."

As she spoke, she swiftly drew her sword and slashed at Prince Duan's neck.

Prince Duan's neck was severed instantly, and a disgusting red worm crawled out from his neck.

This worm was longer and larger than any I had ever seen before. And its entire body was red, gleaming with an eerie light.

Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng both felt as if they were in some kind of thick, sticky liquid, their bodies were sticky, the swords in their hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and all their movements seemed to slow down.

Ji Yunshuang knew something was wrong. She bit her tongue hard, and a bloody taste spread in her mouth. She seemed to wake up instantly from that sticky state.

She gathered her strength in her hand and swung her sword at the worm.

When the knife collided with the insect, her hand felt a rebounding force.

Unlike other insects that break easily when cut, this worm was as hard as steel, and it bounced her sword back.

A look of surprise flashed in Ji Yunshuang's eyes, but then she felt relieved.

Since this thing has already mutated like those insects in the apocalypse, and its body has become hard, it's not that strange.

Although they are difficult to deal with, it's not like she hadn't dealt with them before during the apocalypse.

She raised her sword again and slashed at the insect.

The insect darted away, trying desperately to find an opportunity to enter Ji Yunshuang's body.

Ji Yunshuang's sword strike at the insect was merely a feint; she shifted her stance and attacked the witch instead.

The witch never expected that Ji Yunshuang would suddenly attack her at this moment.

Ji Yunshuang caught her off guard. Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng attacked from both sides, eventually forcing the witch into a retreat.

With the protection of the protective suits, the worm could not infect them, greatly reducing its lethality.

Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng joined forces to attack the witch with all their might. Perhaps because Ji Yunshuang had learned many of her sword techniques from Lu Yinheng, the two worked together with great synergy.

They knew that the witch might have practiced some kind of witchcraft that could make her wounds heal quickly after she was injured.

But Ji Yunshuang felt that there was a way to solve this problem.

Therefore, she probed the priestess's body with her sword, one strike at a time.

Her sword pierced her neck, chest, stomach... she tested her everywhere.

Although the priestess's wounds heal quickly, the pain of the sword piercing her body is unavoidable.

The shrine maiden's mask had long since been lost, and now her face was covered in sweat, her entire face contorted with pain and resentment.

Ji Yunshuang also discovered that the more severe her injuries were, the slower they recovered.

At the same time, the worm that had been leaping and jumping around, trying to enter her body, gradually lost its luster.

A smile twitched her lips.

I never expected that the shrine maiden and this worm were connected!

She glanced at Lu Yinheng and attacked the insect again. This time, the sword struck the insect, but unlike before, it didn't bounce back.

Instead, it will cut a large opening.

The witch's eyes widened, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"So, if this disgusting bug gets hurt, it will hurt you too!" Ji Yunshuang looked at the witch's reaction and slashed at the bug with her sword again.

Lu Yinheng did not stop attacking the witch.

He had figured it out from what had just happened. The priestess and that worm had a mutually beneficial relationship.

Their injury to Prince Duan will have no effect on the witch or the worm.

After all, it was just a temporary shell.

But it's different when you hurt an insect.

He tortured the witch almost cruelly, and Ji Yunshuang finally chopped the insect into several pieces.

The moment Ji Yunshuang completely killed the insects, the witch also spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Her eyes were filled with hatred as she stared intently at Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng.

Although Ji Yunshuang killed the evil worm, she dared not be careless in the slightest.

Even after she had chopped the insect into several pieces, she still used her telekinesis to produce her specially made fire and burn it to ashes.

After the entire worm was burned to ashes, Ji Yunshuang came before the witch. The witch was covered in wounds, and blood kept gushing from the wounds, large and small.

The witch was now unable to move, but her eyes, as if filled with some obsession, were fixed on Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng.

"Are you a witch from the witch clan?"

Although Ji Yunshuang was asking a question, she used a tone of certainty.

"How many other scoundrels like you, priestesses, are there among you who bring calamity to the world?"

Upon hearing her words, the witch's lips curled into a sinister smile.

She didn't seem to be terrified of dying immediately, but instead said, "Then why don't you tell me what you're wearing? We can make a trade!"

Neither Ji Yunshuang nor Lu Yinheng expected her reaction.

Ji Yunshuang sneered and said condescendingly, "You are not qualified to make a deal with me now."

"Is that so?" The priestess spat out a mouthful of blood, but smiled. "Then you will never know the question you want to ask me."

She smiled smugly, "But..."

"But what?" Ji Yunshuang felt that something was wrong with her. She immediately became alert and wanted to see if she had overlooked anything.

Lu Yinheng also gripped his longsword tightly, on high alert, ready to defend against the witch's sudden attack.

But she didn't suddenly attack anyone; instead, she simply died.

But a sinister, meaningful smile always lingered on his face. Such a smile on a dead man was truly eerie.

As the morning glow faded and the bright sun shone on the earth, Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng felt no warmth at all; instead, they felt a chill run through their bodies.
