But before it even hit CRACK! BANG!

The sword met with some resistance, but it still pierced forward.

Lin Fang's eyes burst into tears; she was sure she didn't move her parent, only the other puppet. Despite how she acted, deep inside her heart, she knew they were dead.

"Dad!" Lin Fang screamed at the top of her lungs as Yang Fei's blade started cutting off her father's torso.

Her father's lips curved into a gentle smile as he pushed LinFang out of the way.

"THE FUCK!!!" Yang Fei screamed in anger.

He didn't expect LinFang to move the puppet to block the attack.

Now, he only wanted to quickly finish everything and take a break. Despite the constant energy coming from Greed, he was mentally exhausted.

An energy started gathering from LinFang's father as he was about to explode, but this time it was pointless.

Greed absorbed all the Qi inside him, turning him into a useless puppet. In anger, Yang Fei ignited the puppet with black flames, burning it to ashes.

At this moment, LinFang's mother caught her body and then tried to escape. Meanwhile, Lin Fang, still shocked by all that was happening, didn't move the other puppet and just stood still.

MingYue sighed upon seeing what had happened.

"I think I understand LinFang's problem now. She may live a long time, but in the end, she is just a kid. Her mental age doesn't grow at all, just like her body."

She then moved in a blur, blocking Yang Fei's path.

Clang!

Their swords met and clashed as Ming Yue started executing her secret technique. She could feel Frost Petals starting to appear all around her, moving gracefully, but each spread out a deadly cold temperature.

At first, Greed tried to consume Ming Yue's cold Qi. But he quickly stopped as it felt like eating poison. The frost began freezing him from the inside, reaching even his soul.

Greed used another of his backup energies, creating a shockwave that put both of them down. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Yang Fei, do your solar flare thing," Greed's voice resounded in Yang Fei's mind.

Seeing the situation, Yang Fei didn't hesitate. His qi surged, creating another flash of darkness that took out all light.

But this was not enough to block Progenitor Eyes, even in its unperfected state.

MingYue leaped forward; each of her movements was graceful as it left an ice lotus in the air.

Her sword moved like a target at his neck, but it stopped as she spun her body, using her other hand to cut his arm that held Greed's blade.

Yang Fei was caught off guard, thinking MingYue should be dazed even for a moment.

Slash!

Blood spurted out as the sword flew from his hand. But MingYue didn't stop there; she moved her other sword, targeting Yang Fei's neck.

At that moment, Greed's aura surged quickly. A huge qi came out from it, taking the form of a four-legged beast with four black wings coming out from its back.

Its body was covered with dark green scales and jet-black fur.

The creature had a huge, long jaw like a crocodile, filled with rows of sharp teeth. It opened its maw, trying to chomp at MingYue.

In response, MingYue jumped upward using an ice lotus as a foothold. Despite losing its target, the Taotie kept moving upward, chomping Yang Fei whole, then bursting with speed, trying to escape the area.

MingYue took back her sword, and then a handgun with a scope appeared in her hand. But MingYue didn't need it; with her sharp eyes, she locked onto the target and then poured a lot of her qi into the gun.

Creaking sounds started coming from the gun as it was charged over the limit.

'I should ask for a better one from Alex,' MingYue thought.

Bang!

A projectile of Qi, energized by life force, shot out from the barrel, exploding it in the process.

The bullet pierced through the air with a hissing sound.

Swish!!! Boom!!!

The moment it hit the Taotie, it exploded into a cascade of ice. But MingYue didn't feel happy since the Taotie still had a trump card that allowed it to teleport far away from the area.

'Forget it, I will pursue him later. I still have my tracker on him,' MingYue thought, then focused her attention on the ruined village.

Moving past it, she found Lin Fang crying in her mother's lap. But her mother was expressionless.

"Lin Fang, you should make your decision now. People from the Yang Clan will soon reach this place, and I am sure they already made preparations the moment you killed their golden core cultivator.

Agree with my terms, or stay here and let your clan fall to ruin."

Lin Fang's eyes turned cold as she gazed toward MingYue.

"You can blame me, but you should know this is how things work. I would love to give you time to grieve but now is not the time.

And I cannot just give you help for free; your own clan poses a risk to my sect if you come without any oath."

Lin Fang gritted her teeth. "Fine, let's meet up with my aunt."

"What do you plan to do with this village?"

"We are short on time; what can I do? Just burn it all to the ground."

She could try to recover some bodies, but then it would be unfair to those left behind. Lin Fang thought it was better to just leave them all here, cremating them with the whole village.

"Alright, you go first then. Let me take care of it."

LinFang didn't ask further; she controlled her mother to bring her toward the place they promised to meet up.

After making sure LinFang was out of the way, MingYue's eyes started combing through the area. She then threw multiple remote bombs, flying some distance away before exploding them all.

Since the explosion came from technology, MingYue was sure this would confuse the Yang Clan even more. They would probably focus their search on Yang Fei.
