Chapter 643 - 650: Li Qingya’s Presumptuousness

With a flash of sword light, the Demon Cultivator who had been shouting the loudest was instantly turned to ash.

The area instantly fell silent.

But this only served to enrage all the other Demon Cultivators.

’A supreme treasure lies ahead. Anyone who stands in the way must die!’

And so, the group of Demon Cultivators immediately attacked Song Wanning.

"Heh."

Song Wanning concealed the hostility in her eyes and released the Blood Lotus from her inner world.

At the same time, several flames appeared in the air.

The Blood Evil manifested once more, lunging straight for the Demon Cultivators.

"AHH—"

The Demon Cultivators cried out in pain, frantically trying to dodge the Blood Evil.

But they were immediately struck by the Abnormal Fire, causing them to howl in agony.

But this was not enough.

Rage surged in Song Wanning’s heart. With swift motions, her sword rose and fell, striking with incredible speed.

With just a few more strikes, over a dozen Demon Cultivators were annihilated, leaving not even ash behind.

A bloody mist hung in the air, mingling with the Blood Evil and creating an exceptionally eerie sight.

The rash minds of the remaining Demon Cultivators were instantly sobered.

When they looked up at Song Wanning again, the dazzling aura of her Body Integration Realm Cultivation was on full display, a sight that made their hearts pound in terror.

In an instant, they forgot all about the treasure and simply took to their heels, running for their lives.

Song Wanning’s power was clear for all to see. To remain here was to seek their own doom.

Thus, in a matter of seconds, the once-aggressive crowd had dwindled by more than half.

Li Qingya witnessed everything, her gaze turning venomous.

She took out a medicinal powder and tossed it toward Song Wanning, who was still in mid-air.

’As far as I’m concerned, my Cultivation is definitely no match for Song Wanning’s.’

’But when it comes to poison, very few people can surpass me.’

A vicious glint flashed in Li Qingya’s eyes, but she was completely unaware that Song Wanning was also a master when it came to Dan Poison.

Sensing the poison, her expression shifted slightly as she popped an Elixir Pill into her mouth.

She had plenty of Detoxification Pills, and their effects were far from ordinary.

After all, she could refine Super-grade Elixirs. Unless it was a one-of-a-kind, peerless poison, she was essentially immune.

And so, as Li Qingya’s gaze filled with growing confusion, Song Wanning’s lips curled into a smile.

"You know Alchemy?"

’Why didn’t Gong Ye tell me?’

Li Qingya’s expression darkened, and a flicker of annoyance crossed her face.

’I had planned to poison her while she was distracted. Then, when we fought one-on-one, the poison would take effect, giving me the chance to finish her off.’

’I never expected she wouldn’t fall for it. This is quite a surprise.’

’After all, my poisons aren’t something just anyone can neutralize!’

"What, you dared to come for revenge without even investigating this properly?"

Now it was Song Wanning’s turn to be surprised.

’So she came after me without even getting a clear picture of my abilities.’

’She must be extremely confident in her own strength!’

Being mocked, Li Qingya’s face twitched.

She did, in fact, know very little about Song Wanning; most of her information had come from Gong Ye.

At first, after her Master’s death, she had only wanted to hide, never even considering revenge against Song Wanning.

But Gong Ye had been right. Song Wanning wouldn’t let her go; she would definitely hunt her down.

’If I don’t strike first, I’ll end up dead sooner or later anyway!’

Behind her, a change was taking place in the deep pit.

The large net that had covered the pit had sunk to the bottom, where it was now tightly protecting the Flower Clan Leader.

This time, the Divine Thunder lingered, slowly but surely breaking the curse.

If one looked closely, one could see waves of strange energy dispersing into the air.

Song Wanning watched from afar as the Divine Thunder finally began to fade.

It was like a sigh that resounded in everyone’s ears.

As the lightning vanished, it was followed by a continuous surge of wood-attribute auras.

The energy of the surrounding flora surged, growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, a sight that made even Song Wanning’s heart skip a beat.

Li Qingya was utterly shaken, staring in disbelief at the scene before her, completely clueless as to what was happening.

At that moment, the large net dispersed, transforming into individual Tree Spirits that returned to their physical forms.

The moment they merged, the surrounding air became saturated with the healing power of the wood attribute.

An endless whirlwind swept up the surrounding corpses and blood-filled air, gradually dissolving them.

On the ground, countless blades of grass began to grow at a frenzied pace.

Flowers bloomed one after another, well ahead of their season.

Before their eyes, everything was undergoing a frantic metamorphosis.

Song Wanning stood at the very center as countless streams of wood-attribute energy swarmed toward her.

It was drawn from the physical forms of the flora and poured directly into her body.

It wasn’t just her; the same was happening to the Flower Clan Leader in the pit.

Immense wood-attribute energy was willingly offered by the flora, pouring into both of their bodies.

It was a show of both gratitude and acceptance.

Even though Song Wanning was not one of them, she still received their highest form of acknowledgment.

An indescribable healing power spread through every corner of her body. Song Wanning let out a comfortable sigh as her Cultivation began to skyrocket.

Li Qingya was stunned by the scene before her.

’I haven’t even seen a glimpse of the supreme treasure, yet Song Wanning’s Cultivation is increasing.’

’What kind of bizarre scene is this?’

She felt that something was amiss. ’Today’s timing is all wrong,’ she thought. ’I was planning to use some of my more unorthodox methods to deal with Song Wanning.’

’But now?’

’Song Wanning’s Cultivation is about to rise again. My tricks are completely useless against that.’

’The only one who can deal with Song Wanning is Gong Ye!!!’

The very instant she reached this conclusion, Li Qingya decided to retreat and began to back away.

Song Wanning didn’t miss a single move. She found Li Qingya’s behavior rather odd.

She decided to try and bluff her.

"What, planning to run away already?"

"How will you explain this to ’him’ when you get back?"

’Although Li Qingya has a grudge against me, her actions are full of contradictions.’

’She’s clearly risking her life to kill me, yet I don’t sense much genuine hatred from her.’

’It feels more like jealousy than anything else.’

’How strange.’

However, Li Qingya had an unexpectedly strong reaction to this casual probe.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Her expression became grim as she immediately spat, "You traitor! Sooner or later, you’ll get what you deserve!"

’She even killed her own grandmaster. How could someone like that be a good person?’

’She’s just a selfish, self-serving woman.’

With that, she threw out a strange-looking object.

The object ignited instantly, emitting a puff of white smoke.

Hordes of monsters rapidly emerged from the white smoke, pouncing toward Song Wanning.

This was Li Qingya’s greatest trump card.

’As long as I wish, I can summon these monsters anytime, anywhere.’

’Even Song Wanning won’t be able to do anything to me.’

The monsters roared as they lunged at Song Wanning, their fiendish appearance startling the flower demons.

"Hmph!"

Song Wanning snorted. ’I was right. Li Qingya really can control these monsters!’
