Chapter 693: Draconic Reckoning.

Then, Sarah turned to look at Yasenia, and her body exploded with a wrathful feeling. "Yasenia, it's all your fault!"

The dragoness looked at her and smiled. "My fault?"

Sarah began screaming, her hands gesturing out the deep and uncontrolled emotions she couldn't hold back anymore. "You fault! Of course, it is your fault! Everything would have been perfectly fine if you hadn't appeared in my life! Why!? What did I do!? What the fuck did I do to deserve this!?"

With apathetic eyes, Yasenia answered. "What did you do? Target me after so many warnings to stay away from me. Insult my integrity. You even tried to make me a villain when I've done nothing but help you. Moreover, everything you are suffering is your fault."

Sarah laughed, tears still streaming through her eyes as she looked at Lillian's corpse. "I thought you were not so pathetic as to use my origins like that! I regret ever trusting you. I regret ever speaking to you."

Yasenia spoke again in a nonchalant manner. "If you hadn't lied to them, nothing would have happened. I just revealed to those closest to you what and who you are."

Sarah screamed hysterically. "AND WHO GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DO EVEN THAT!?"

Then, she hissed through her teeth. "You are always so high and mighty because of your pretty face! Why did you seduce me!? Why did you change me!? Couldn't you have ignored me since the beginning if you didn't want to do anything with me!? Why console me when I was at my lowest and trample on my feelings!? Why give me a hand and then pull it back!?"

Yasenia sneered. "Are you done shifting responsibility to others? The answer to those questions is another question. Why did you expect anything at all in the first place? I showed friendliness but nothing deeper. You are the one obsessed with trying to seduce me when I've rejected your approaches many times."

Sarah's eyes trembled and shone with animosity. Then she smiled dangerously. "Right, all of it was my delusion, no? How about I return the favor you've done to me."

The dragoness's face became serious, and her eyes quickly moved toward Sarah's hand. 'Two talismans?'

However, she didn't know what it was.

"[Spatial Shift Talisman]."

Yasenia got alert and expanded her spiritual sense to the limits. However, she didn't feel anything around her.

Still, there was a strange fluctuation on Du Xian's and Angel's side, and she shouted. "Du Xian, Angel, move!"

Angel had been alert, and her cultivation base exploded, successfully resisting whatever the aura around her was trying to do.

However, her warning came too late for the other girl, and because Du Xian was not on guard since the conflict was around Yasenia, she got caught.

The dragoness's eyes widened when Du Xian disappeared and reappeared before Sarah. 'Huh!? What kind of talisman is that?'

Yasenia wanted to rush forward, but Sarah caught her by the neck like Yasenia had previously done with Lillian.

Sarah laughed, her eyes shining with ruthlessness. "Although it's a shame that I didn't catch your lover, at least I managed to grab this one. You seemed to like her, right?"

Du Lian shouted. "What are you doing!?"

The dragoness's expressionless face became cold, and her brain turned quickly, thinking of ways to save her.

On the other side, Du Xian was startled, but her energy instantly began rotating inside her, ready to fight if needed.

Of course, Sarah wouldn't allow Du Xian to react, so she swung her sword while grabbing her by the neck and pierced Du Xian's chest. "AH!!"

Yasenia's body twitched as she saw Sarah's sword piercing through Du Xian and the petite woman screaming in pain.

Du Lian naturally got extremely angry. "If you dare kill her, I'm going to hunt you down for the rest of my life!"

The human girls had their faces frowning at Sarah's actions, but they didn't stop her.

On the other side, the beast human ex-lovers sneered as if they weren't surprised. They couldn't wait to rush forward and continue their fight with Sarah, but they waited to see what happened between Yasenia and their ex-lover.

Sarah smiled widely as her energy locked around the squirrel woman. With just a thought, the energy inside the sword would explode, killing her. "Since you killed Lillian, I should reciprocate, right? Hahahaha."

While Sarah boasted, the dragoness's eyes flashed, and she thought of something.

Sarah saw Yasenia reach over and tensed, prepared to kill Du Xian if she did something suspicious. However, her actions halted because the person Yasenia took was Lea.

Unlike Sarah, she didn't pierce anything and just grabbed her by the scurf of her neck. "Have you forgotten about this?"

Sarah's face twisted, but she smiled weirdly with a hint of dropping sanity. "So what? Neither you nor I can move now. How about this? If you surrender the competition or give Lea to me, I'll release Du Xian."

Even then, the dragoness hadn't even moved an inch, and she wasn't even looking at him, showing the control of the scene she had thanks to her ever-present spiritual sense.

Sarah spoke, not realizing how much her voice was trembling. "A-Astarea, if I let go, Yasenia will attack! E-Even if I'm confident, you all will be in danger!"

Bai Ling spoke. "Then, kill her. We can always give up the competition."

Sarah looked at Bai Ling and gulped to moisten her dry throat. 'T-That's right, I can kill her. Either way, we can always surrender.'

The dragoness's eyes moved for the first time, and she looked deeply at Bai Ling. Bai Ling was about to smile, thinking that she had disrupted Yasenia's plans, but after two seconds, the draconic gaze moved away from her, returning to observe Sarah as if her words were inconsequential.

This made Bai Ling's expression fall.

Yet, Bai Ling didn't realize that Yasenia had done so to make her expression change.

When Sarah saw Bai Ling's expression falling when she didn't answer, she thought that she was unhappy that she was considering killing. Therefore, she quickly gave up the option of killing Du Xian.

It was all mind games that the dragoness was puppeteering.

Astarea spoke soothingly one more time. "Sarah, let go. Whatever challenges are ahead of us, we'll fight them together."

Taking into account her recent thoughts and because of the righteous and soft tone, Sarah decided to trust Astarea.

She took out her sword from Du Xian and then pushed her forward. However, Sarah's eyes were locked on Yasenia, preparing to move again if Yasenia recklessly charged forward.

Knowing how tense Sarah was, Yasenia remained calm on the outside and beckoned Du Xian. "Come here, Du Xian."

The squirrel girl hurriedly scurried forward toward Yasenia, who gave her a greater sense of security than her husband. She fell into her arms, burying her face in Yasenia's warm bosom. The sweet floral scent quickly calmed her taut nerves, and her entire body melted in her arms.

She was the Matriarch of a race with hundreds of years of experience, so even if she was shocked, she had a strong mentality and quickly recovered her mood. She coughed twice and then looked up at Yasenia with a smile. "Thanks, Yasenia."

Angel didn't say or feel anything this time, as Du Xian had been on the verge of dying. Yasenia took out a peak-level Heaven-ranked healing pill and fed it to her. She didn't have many pills of this quality, but it didn't matter. It was her fault that Du Xian ended up in that situation, and giving her anything other than the "best" to heal her didn't sit well with Yasenia.

The dragoness gently caressed her hair and asked with a soft tone. "Do you feel anything strange, Du Xian?"

Du Xian closed her eyes, quickly feeling the powerful healing capabilities of the pill, and she shook her head. "Nothing, I'm okay, Yasenia."

Yasenia nodded and then turned to look at Sara coldly, separating from Du Xian and walking forward slowly.

Almost 200 meters separated them, not too far for cultivators at their level.

Her steps were unhurried, and she didn't really cover much distance with them, but the presence around Yasenia began condensing.

"Sarah."

The woman flinched when Yasenia called.

"This is the first time I've abhorred someone so much outside the War Trial."

Then, a message popped in front of Sarah with a static-like sound that hurt her ears.

[Ding! Y@se#&a Dr@#$ry favorability De#re@#d by ** points, rea#$ing -100 points (Mortal Enemy).]

[Ding! All missions related to Y#@en#a Dra&##@ and those close to her will be automatically canceled, and those accepted will be counted as failures.]

[Ding! Warning! You've provoked the rage of a powerful enemy!]

[Ding! An urgent mission is being generated. Please, wait for a second.]

Yasenia grabbed the heavy Draconic Heart with one arm and lifted it effortlessly, stepping toward Sarah without placing others in her eyes. "Sarah, I had one thought from the first moment I met with you. Either we became close allies, or we became enemies. That's why I tried to become close to you at first. That's why I kept trying to pull you to my side even while I felt my doubts."

CRACK!

The ground under Yasenia split, creating a dreadful sound that steps shouldn't make.

"Now, I challenge you to a Death and Life duel."
