Chapter 595 No Escape
Nangong Qi was ecstatic, his long-held dream was finally about to be fulfilled.
At that moment, Nangong Qi began to fantasize about how he would press Shangguan Yunyue beneath him and what he would do next... As he thought about it, Nangong Qi started to drool...
"Stop! I have something to say!" Shangguan Yunyue called out sharply.
"What's wrong? Scared?" Nangong Qi stopped in his tracks, chuckling slyly, "Ready to beg for mercy? Come on, say something nice!"
Shangguan Yunyue took a deep breath and said slowly, "Nangong Qi, I'll give you one more chance, as long as you leave now and hand over the Antidote, I'll pretend nothing ever happened."
"Leave? Hand over the Antidote?" Nangong Qi smirked and laughed, "Do you think I'm a fool? Even a fool wouldn't leave! Shangguan Yunyue, do you know how infatuated I am with you? Every time I see you, I get overwhelmed with excitement, and often dream about you at night. I truly love you and want to marry you... Yet, you've ignored me time and again, refused me repeatedly, and in the end, you even ended up with some wild man!"
"Shut up!"
"Don't want to listen? I'll say it anyway! I always thought you were a woman as pure as ice and jade, purer than the snow lotus, but later I realized I was utterly wrong, horribly wrong. You are not pure at all; you are nothing but a promiscuous woman!"
"You..." Shangguan Yunyue turned pale with rage, her body trembling uncontrollably. She had never been so humiliated in her life.
"Today I will strip away your facade! Let's see what you are truly made of!" Nangong Qi took large strides toward Shangguan Yunyue, "If you don't want to suffer, then submit to me obediently!" He reached out his large hand toward Shangguan Yunyue.
"Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!" There was a flash of determination in Shangguan Yunyue's eyes, "No one can humiliate me!" With that, she raised her hand and slapped her chest, "Pu-chi!" Shangguan Yunyue's face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her weakening breath instantly became fierce.
"What is this..." Nangong Qi was startled, "How has your cultivation recovered? Oh, I see now, you must have used some sort of secret technique to temporarily restore your cultivation!"
"Die!" Shangguan Yunyue leaped at him, fists clenching, and smashed them down on Nangong Qi. Enraged Shangguan Yunyue was formidable; her form flickered explosively, her punches making the air buzz and tearing through the void, a chilling Qi enveloping the entire hall.
"Crazy woman!" Nangong Qi retreated back, not daring to clash with Shangguan Yunyue head-on. He knew very well that Shangguan Yunyue's recovery of cultivation was only temporary, and she would soon be exhausted. At that point, Nangong Qi could easily capture Shangguan Yunyue.
"Go to hell!" Shangguan Yunyue, with disheveled hair and a ferocious expression, radiated a thick killing intent. "Nangong Qi! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!" Her body suddenly swelled in size.
"What are you doing!" Nangong Qi's face changed color dramatically, "You want to self-destruct? You crazy woman! Do you really have a death wish?!" Nangong Qi turned and fled. This was no joke; Shangguan Yunyue was at the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection Realm, and her self-destruction would release an incredibly terrifying energy. Even if Nangong Qi doubled his strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand it. There was no choice but to run.
Nangong Qi cursed as he ran, "Crazy woman, truly a crazy woman! Rather die than become my woman! How infuriating!!!"
The prey that was at the tip of his tongue was getting away, and Nangong Qi couldn't be more angry.
After all the years of waiting, it all came to nothing in the end.
What a damn frustration!!!
"Swoosh!"
A shadowy figure passed by Nangong Qi and then sped away into the distance.
"Eh? That is... Shangguan Yunyue? Didn't she self-destruct? How could she... Damn! I've been tricked! Wretched woman, how dare you deceive me!"
"Where do you think you can run to!"
"Stop right there!"
Nangong Qi's figure flashed as he gave chase.
Dozens of yards away, a figure was sprinting at a frenzied pace. A closer look revealed that it was actually Shangguan Yunyue. She didn't really want to self-destruct; after all, who would want to die if they could live? Shangguan Yunyue used the threat of self-destruction to scare Nangong Qi and then took the opportunity to escape. Nangong Qi's reactions were all predicted by Shangguan Yunyue. Seeing her about to self-destruct, Nangong Qi was frightened out of his wits and turned to run without saying another word. After scaring off Nangong Qi, Shangguan Yunyue quickly steadied her chaotic Qi and made her escape.
It had to be said that Shangguan Yunyue was really smart to have managed to escape under such dire circumstances.
"Bang!"
Shangguan Yunyue raised her hand and struck her chest again, "Pfft!" A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and her weakened Qi surged in an instant, increasing her speed slightly as she fled, burning her life in exchange for a chance to survive.
Shangguan Yunyue swore secretly in her heart that once she found an antidote and healed her wounds, she would come back for revenge, killing gods if they blocked her way, killing Buddhas if they stood in her path. She wanted to wash Piaomiao Palace in blood and kill all those who had betrayed her!!!
Kill them all!
Not a single one spared!
Watching Shangguan Yunyue get further and further away, Nangong Qi grew desperate. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "What are you hiding in the shadows for? Waiting to give birth? Come out and block her! If she escapes, none of us will have a good ending!" His voice thundered, shocking the surrounding area, and everyone in Piaomiao Palace heard him.
"Whoosh!"
A group of figures flew out from the shadows, forming an encirclement and converging on Shangguan Yunyue. These people had high levels of cultivation and an extraordinary bearing; they were the elders of Piaomiao Palace.
"Are you rebelling!" Shangguan Yunyue shouted both shocked and angry, "Why have you turned against me! In what way have I wronged you!"
The many elders remained silent.
"You are a bunch of ungrateful wretches!" Shangguan Yunyue yelled furiously, "Amongst you, there are those my grandfather promoted, my mother promoted, my father promoted, and also those I promoted myself. Without the Shangguan Family, you would be nothing! Not only do you not repay kindness, you even help Nangong Qi against me. You... have you no conscience at all!"
The many elders also had their own difficulties, they didn't want to go against Shangguan Yunyue, but Nangong Qi had something on them, and they could only follow his orders.
"I, Shangguan Yunyue, swear to the heavens! Sooner or later I will kill all of you!" Shangguan Yunyue shouted fiercely.
Feeling the intense hatred from Shangguan Yunyue, the many elders felt a cold shiver. They exchanged looks and reached some silent agreement. Today they had to eliminate Shangguan Yunyue, denying her any chance for revenge. Since they had chosen to act, there was no turning back, even if it meant suffering in the eighteenth level of hell after death.
Seeing the elders had hardened their hearts to deal with her, Shangguan Yunyue's heart sank. Why was this happening? Why did the elders betray her? Where had she gone wrong?
The taste of being abandoned by everyone was truly unbearable!
With elders blocking the way in front, Nangong Qi pursuing from behind, and a group of elders waiting to pounce from both sides... she was trapped on all sides in a dire situation.
Shangguan Yunyue seemed to have no way out.
