The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Jiang Guan stared intently at Cui Baiyi, then turned his gaze towards Dong Xia, his expression growing darker and darker.

"This was all orchestrated by you, wasn't it? Cui Baiyi, you're really capable, using such a method to get rid of me. You're truly skilled! Was Jiu Zhikong also killed by you? You just want my territory to be devoid of Judge Candidate Envoys, so Dong Xia can righteously challenge me! Hahaha, Cui Baiyi, you're really vicious!" Jiang Guan pointed at Cui Baiyi as if he had understood everything.

Cui Baiyi rolled his eyes. Tang Rao was the one who killed Jiu Zhikong.

But then again, this does seem to work out in my favor. Hmm, I really should thank Tang Rao.

"According to the rules of Soul Capture Pavilion, Dong Xia has issued you a challenge, and you must accept it," said Cui Baiyi to Jiang Guan.

"You think she can defeat me? Cui Baiyi, do you think I'm just a nobody? You think Dong Xia alone can take me down? I am at Half-step Great Perfection! Even if you wanted to kill me, you'd have to pay a heavy price," Jiang Guan sneered.

He didn't believe Dong Xia had what it took to deal with him.

"Did I say Dong Xia would be the only one making a move?" Cui Baiyi let out a cold laugh, and in the next moment, his figure suddenly lunged forward, instantly appearing in front of Jiang Guan.

Jiang Guan's eyes widened in shock, and he struck out with both hands.

Unfortunately, he was still a bit inferior to Cui Baiyi, and since Cui Baiyi made a sudden move, his palm struck hard against Jiang Guan's chest.

Jiang Guan was sent flying backward, coughing up blood violently.

Although Jiang Guan managed to keep from falling at the end, it was evident that Cui Baiyi's palm strike had severely injured him. His complexion turned pale, and his Spiritual Energy was in utter disarray.

"Alright, Dong Xia, you can now fight our Judge Jiang," said Cui Baiyi, stepping back and speaking with a smile.

Hatred filled Jiang Guan's eyes. Cui Baiyi, you're shameless, resorting to such tactics.

"Yes." Dong Xia replied and stepped forward two paces, "Judge Jiang, please."

"Seeking death!" Jiang Guan roared furiously, "Even if I'm injured, I'm not someone trash like you can challenge!"

Jiang Guan rushed towards Dong Xia, who stood still, her expression unchanged.

Indifferent, composed.

The moment Jiang Guan reached Dong Xia, she finally raised her hand, and an overwhelming surge of Spiritual Energy burst forth. Within the Spiritual Energy, elusive principles of Heavenly Dao were embedded, inscrutable and enigmatic.

As if it could embrace everything and also obliterate anything.

All-encompassing, omnipotent.

"You!" A tremendous shock filled Jiang Guan's heart. Dong Xia was also at Half-step Great Perfection, and even her comprehension of Heavenly Dao was no less than his.

Even without Cui Baiyi's palm strike, his fight with Dong Xia would be evenly matched.

"I'm a cut above the other Three Great Judges, so the Judge Candidate Envoy under my command is naturally stronger than theirs. I'm sorry, Judge Jiang, but there is no place for you among the Four Great Judges from now on," Cui Baiyi said with a smile.

Cui Baiyi was aware of Dong Xia's strength. Against a heavily injured Jiang Guan, there would be no problems.

Of course, all of this seemed trivial to Dong Xia.

Is a severely wounded Jiang Guan really interesting? It's not just one Jiang Guan; even if you Four Great Judges joined forces, in my eyes, you're nothing more than a slightly bigger salted fish.

Of course, she was still in the planning phase right now. As for revealing her true strength, that wasn't suitable just yet.

Half-step Great Perfection was just right; it wouldn't make Cui Baiyi too wary, nor would it make him disregard her completely.

As for Cui Baiyi himself, Dong Xia couldn't say she had fully seen through him.

This old undying thing has quite the deep thoughts, who knows what he's thinking all day long.

"So what, die!" Jiang Guan burst out with all his might, not caring about the disordered Spiritual Energy within his chest. At this moment, he could only fight with everything he had.

If he couldn't kill Dong Xia, then he would be the one to die.

As long as Dong Xia died, Cui Baiyi would definitely not come up to kill him; he didn't have the guts for that. Above the Four Great Judges of the Soul Capture Pavilion, there was still that one existence, and Cui Baiyi did not have the power to challenge him.

Boom!

The Spiritual Energy of the two, containing the force of the Heavenly Dao, collided violently, creating a vast energy shockwave.

If this shockwave were to burst, let alone the entire courtyard, it's feared that the whole planet would suffer irreversible destruction.

Two cultivators at Half-step Great Perfection, how terrifying.

"Zhong Lai!" Cui Baiyi casually summoned, and a small golden Copper Bell flew out from his chest, then spun in the air.

Hum!

After a light hum, the Copper Bell enlarged greatly and fell resoundingly, nearly covering half of the courtyard, and directly enveloping both Jiang Guan and Dong Xia within.

Inside the Copper Bell, within the energy shockwave, Jiang Guan steadfastly held on.

As for Dong Xia, after glancing at the surrounding Copper Bell, suddenly burst into a silent laugh.

For some reason, seeing Dong Xia's smile, Jiang Guan felt an indescribable fear. It was as if Dong Xia in front of him was a hundred or a thousand times more terrifying than Cui Baiyi.

"Judge Jiang, sorry, but on this path, someone always has to make a sacrifice." Dong Xia's voice suddenly reached Jiang Guan's ears.

Jiang Guan was greatly shocked. Dong Xia could actually control her voice to pass through the energy shockwave into his ears, how could this be possible!

"By the way, let me tell you something else, Jiu Zhikong was also killed by me. Here, I want to thank you both for the sacrifices you made for the Soul Capture Pavilion, thank you." As she spoke, Dong Xia moved her hand, gently pulling out one hand and then slowly, gradually pointing out.

Her arm passed through the energy shockwave without any effort.

"You! You!!!" Jiang Guan's eyes nearly split open as he stared deathly at Dong Xia.

Dong Xia was not just at Half-step Great Perfection; she... she was truly at Great Perfection!

She was even countless times stronger than Cui Baiyi!

Cui Baiyi was infinitely close to Great Perfection, but he was still not there. Yet, Dong Xia, Jiang Guan could feel it, was truly at Great Perfection, a cultivator who had reached Great Perfection touching upon the realm of the immortals.

Why!

Jiang Guan couldn't understand, why a true Great Perfection cultivator would become a Judge Candidate Envoy, would follow Cui Baiyi around.

This was utterly unscientific!

Unfortunately, before Jiang Guan could figure it out, Dong Xia's fingertip had already touched his forehead.

Boom!

Jiang Guan didn't feel any pain or anything; in that instant, he was reduced to ashes. He had pondered what death was, what he might think when dying, but he had never considered that when he died, he wouldn't be able to think at all, because it was all in an instant.

In that moment, his soul, his thoughts, completely vanished from this world.

To others, it was just the loss of a person named Jiang Guan, but for Jiang Guan himself, it was the loss of the entire world.

This, is death.
