Chapter Fifty-Two: Life and Death Decision

  "Good." Gu Qiujue replied.

  Xiang placed the birdcage at the edge of the grass, but before she could straighten up, a snake over a foot long suddenly darted out from the grass. Xiang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she let out a shrill cry, jumping onto Gu Qiuzi's body, wrapping her arms around his neck and curling up her legs, her entire body hanging on his chest. Her cries were loud enough to shatter metal: "Snake... there's a snake... save me..."

  At the same time, Hong Fu also cried out as she strolled and viewed the scenery inside Jin Zhong Guan, her body tilting to one side. Su Tang, who was walking beside her, hastily stretched out his hand to hold onto Hong Fu.

  "Ah... it hurts..." Madame Hong wrapped one arm around Su Tang's neck, then lifted her leg. Her bright red skirt was originally slit open, and now she had raised her foot so high that the hem slid all the way down to her thigh root, revealing her fair and beautiful legs in full view.

  The red woman's legs were long and slender, with extremely beautiful lines, and Su Tang was suddenly infatuated.

  "It hurts so much..." The red lady simply put her foot on Su Tang's shoulder and said in a soft voice: "Prince Nangong, won't you hurry up and massage it for me..."

  Gu Qi's face broke into a smile as he naturally wrapped his arms around Wen Xiang. In reality, the flower-spotted snake that had darted out of the grass had not targeted Wen Xiang at all, instead stretching its head into the cage and biting down on the injured goldfinch. But Wen Xiang didn't see this, her body trembling as she continued to cry out: "Save me...!"

  "Don't be afraid, I'm here..." Gu Qi's words were left unspoken as his expression suddenly stiffened, while Wen Xiang's body floated away like a gentle breeze, landing far in front of the house.

  Gu Qi's head slowly lowered, a black palm print remaining on his chest. He could clearly feel that strands of indescribable and inexplicable aura seeped into his body from the palm print. That aura possessed an extremely terrifying corrosive power, his muscles, bones, and even spiritual veins would wither immediately upon contact with it.

  Xiang stood quietly there, her hands hanging down at both sides of her body, gazing at Gu Qiuzi with a sarcastic look.

  "You dare...!" Gu Qiujue suddenly let out a furious roar, and the next moment, his clothes suddenly burst open, and dazzling rays of light shot out from behind him.

  Gu Qi released a small sword that was only one foot long, its light piercing the air and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

  Enraged Gu Qiujue struck with all his might, and the Seven Extremes Sword shot out like lightning, sealing off all possible evasive routes for Wen Xiang.

  However, Xiang seemed to have no intention of avoiding him and remained standing there, motionless.

  The sword light was less than two meters away from Wen Xiang, and suddenly began to condense towards the center. The seven swords merged into one, and blasted towards Wen Xiang's chest. On that day, the shadow died under this blow, the dagger was shattered by the combined sword light, and his body was also pierced through.

  Wen Xiang stretched out his hand and grabbed towards the sword light.

  Blood flowers burst forth in the next moment, with muscle and blood droplets torn off by the sword light flying everywhere. Some even splashed onto Wen Xiang's face. In an instant, Wen Xiang's right hand was left maimed, with many places exposing white bones. Moreover, Wen Xiang's body could not withstand the enormous force, constantly retreating backwards.

  This pain is no less than any kind of torture in the world. Although Xiang's face can remain calm, the veins on her neck and forehead are bulging, obviously, she is in great pain, already at the extreme point.

  Bang...... Wen Xiang's body crashed into the wall, forced to stop, and Qi Yue Jian also stabbed into Wen Xiang's chest, however, the force finally exhausted, only stabbing in a few inches deep.

  Gu Qi saw a scene that made him extremely shocked, Wen Xiang's right hand, which was tightly grasping the Seven Extremes Sword, was slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  "Open!" Gu Qiujue let out another loud shout.

  The sword light that had just calmed down began to shake again, trying to break free from Wen Xiang's control. Just then, Wen Xiang stretched out his left hand and grasped the Seven Extremes Sword.

  Xiang's left hand had turned as black as ink, withered and sinister, it was not a human hand, but the sharp claws of a malevolent spirit.

  A wisp of gray, dust-like substance flowed over the seven small swords, and the dazzling sword light quickly dimmed. When Wen Xiang slowly pulled the Seven Extremes Swords out of his body, the Seven Extremes Swords had become ordinary iron blocks without any vitality, falling to the ground with a thud.

  Gu Qiujue was stunned, he could sense that the connection between him and the Seven Extremes Sword had been severed by an inexplicable force. The Seven Extremes Sword was dead, thoroughly dead.

  In a short time, the heavily injured right hand had recovered more than half, and the two hands were particularly striking in comparison. The right hand was as white as jade, while the left hand was as black as night.

  "It's a life-and-death decision! You're cultivating the Life-Death Decision!!" Gu Qiujue was shocked to the extreme and exclaimed, he finally understood what was corroding his body - it was death energy, irreversible death energy: "You are a remnant of the God-Slaying Temple..."

  At that time, the three major Tianmen joined forces to attack the Zhugedian, just to destroy the life-and-death decision, because the life-and-death decision was too terrible! The birth secret can make the practitioner have unlimited recovery ability, and the death secret can break all the spiritual instruments in the world. Of course, the death secret must be strong enough. If Huanxiang had used her left hand to intercept the Seven Extremes Sword just now, she would have suffered heavy losses. Moreover, the death secret cannot be quickly recovered and can only rely on long-term cultivation to slowly make up for the injury. If the injury is too severe, then she will not be able to cultivate the life-and-death decision again.

  "There's no need to put it that way." Xiang said expressionlessly, looking at her own left hand which was emitting a fierce aura: "It's just victory and defeat after all."

  Gu Qi took a step back, if this news were to be spread out, he would definitely receive a heavy reward from the Three Great Heavens, and might even become a disciple of the Three Great Heavens. But did he still have a chance to leave here alive?

  "Give up, you don't stand a chance." Wen Xiang said faintly, then his body suddenly shot out like a cannonball, and he punched towards Gu Qiujue's chest.

  Gu Qi couldn't even think of dodging, but the death energy had already spread throughout his body. His muscles, blood vessels, bones, and even his spiritual veins were all withering away. His body was as stiff as a rusty machine, and his movements were slower than usual by countless times. He simply couldn't avoid it.

  Bang...... Gu Qiujue's body flew out four or five meters away, weakly falling to the ground.

  Smelling the fragrance, she grabbed Gu Qiu Yue and threw her into the house. Then, from the corner of the wall, she dragged out a large vat and poured its contents onto the floorboards. Next, one by one, she picked up the Qi Yue sword and tossed it into the room like trash.

  Finally, Wen Xiang took out a lighter and lit it, immediately setting the entire room ablaze with fierce flames.

  Xiao Bu Hui was right, Wen Xiang wasn't afraid of Gu Qiuzi, what she worried about was being discovered by a true strongman with the remaining dead energy.

  "What I should have done, I've done. The rest... is not my concern." Xiang Youyou said, then turned around and left the yard, it was time to leave.
