“Pei Xue is my friend. I really didn’t expect her to encounter something like this.”
Feng Feiling stood on the life-and-death stage, glanced at Ji Chengshan who was on his last breath, and pointed her sword at his neck. “Ji Chengshan, Pei Xue had no grievances with you. Even if you admired her and were rejected, you shouldn’t have treated her with such cruel methods.”
Ji Chengshan lay weakly on the ground, his vision a bit blurry, but he could still see Feng Feiling’s expression clearly.
Beneath the righteous appearance, the satisfaction hidden in her eyes left him confused.
He had never known Feng Feiling before, nor held any grudges. As for Pei Xue, they had only met twice and exchanged a couple of words. As for saying he admired her, that never happened, and abusing a woman wasn’t something Ji Chengshan could do.
He truly didn’t understand why Feng Feiling was so sure it was him, nor why so many eyewitnesses suddenly came forward saying he kidnapped Pei Xue, who had no cultivation.
Yes, Pei Xue was someone who couldn’t cultivate, but her appearance was stunning. Even though she was born without the ability to cultivate, her comprehension ability made the Pei family value her highly.
She couldn’t cultivate, but she could thoroughly understand a technique and explain it to others. That, too, was a rare skill.
He had spoken with Pei Xue only because he came across something in a technique he didn’t understand and respectfully asked her for advice. Toward Pei Xue, he only felt respect and admiration, nothing else.
Now, so much evidence pointed to him torturing Pei Xue to death. Aside from the Sect Master of the Shengyuan Sect, perhaps no one believed he was innocent.
He originally went up the stage to prove his innocence, but he hadn’t expected Feng Feiling’s strength to be so terrifying. He was no match for her. Now he was about to die at her hands, dying with a false charge, and his heart was filled with unwillingness.
“Today, I, Feng Feiling, will kill this vicious man here.”
Feng Feiling lifted her chin and looked down at Ji Chengshan. Genius?
Ha!
This was the Shengyuan Sect’s genius, Ji Chengshan. The same person who once watched her suffer in agony at the hands of demonic cultivators but was sweetly in love with Pei Xue, even willing to give up his cultivation for her.
In this life, she had personally handed Pei Xue over to those demonic cultivators and made Ji Chengshan watch her die a miserable death. She was extremely delighted.
Now, Ji Chengshan would also die at her hands, and with such a heinous reputation.
She hated the geniuses of this world and would slowly destroy every last one of them.
It’s been almost five years. Starting from Tang Guo, one genius after another fell into her hands. She was truly thrilled and delighted.
Now she was at the Fusion stage herself. Those geniuses who were once destined to be renowned had all been ruined by her designs. Even if they didn’t die, they lost their cultivation, lost their opportunities, and their sects fell. It was impossible for them to rise again.
She had even kept track of them. After losing their opportunities, those people disappeared completely. It was clear they had faded into obscurity and maybe even died.
Ji Chengshan did not miss the arrogance and madness in Feng Feiling’s eyes. Her gaze was full of excitement and satisfaction as she looked at him.
“Ji Chengshan, now I will avenge Pei Xue!”
Feng Feiling raised her sword and slashed it toward Ji Chengshan’s neck. On the life-and-death stage, no one stepped in to stop it. Everyone who stepped onto the stage did so voluntarily. Even the Sect Master of the Shengyuan Sect could only watch. In the end, he couldn’t bear it and turned his head away.
Clang—
With the sound of a sword falling, a woman in white wearing a light gauze hat landed on the life-and-death stage. She was the one who knocked Feng Feiling’s sword away. Feng Feiling was even forced to retreat several steps, staring at the person before her in disbelief, a trace of anger on her face.
“Who are you? Do you know this is a life-and-death stage?”
