Chapter 1300: Don’t Worry, I’ll Be Gentle

“Long time no see, Sect Leader An Lin,” Black Spirit Snake greeted with a smile.

Long time no see? They had been apart for less than an hour!

An Lin’s heart was thumping with panic, but he still forced himself to stand up.

After the coffin lid was removed by the Stone Tribe living beings, he was able to come out.

“Thanks for your help there, Ms. Black Spirit Snake,” An Lin spoke with a cold expression. “If you had acted even a second later, they would’ve suffered an even more horrific elimination!”

He could lose a physical battle, but he couldn’t lose a battle of wills!

Black Spirit Snake’s brows perked up upon hearing this, and an amused smile lit up her exquisite features. “Wow, Sect Leader An Lin sure is powerful. How about we have a little spar?”

“Let’s leave the sparring for another time. Our top priority now should be to find the heavenly peach trees…” An Lin puffed out his chest with a firm expression.

“Oh, but I’ve already found a heavenly peach tree.” Black Spirit Snake’s eyes locked onto An Lin’s storage ring with a profound smile.

An Lin: “…”

Crap…

Black Spirit Snake drew her Realm Creation Evil Vanquishing Sword. An Lin had seen this once, and he knew that it was a divine tool!

An Lin’s lips twitched.

Was it really necessary to use a divine tool against a mortal?!

An Lin was panicking internally, but he maintained a perfect poker face as he drew his own Evil-Slaying Sword. “Do you really want to battle? You’ll regret it!”

“Alright, An Lin, quit pretending. I’m going to feel a little sorry for you soon.” A dazzling golden light erupted from her massive sword. “Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle…”

An Lin’s expression faltered slightly. The cruel and ruthless Black Spirit Snake was going to be gentle?

Black Spirit Snake’s smooth, black snake tail slithered as a faint smile appeared on her face. “I won’t eliminate you with one sword strike. I’ll slowly and gently slice open your skin so that blood stains your entire body. I’ll make you experience pain that you’ve never experienced before…”

The woman spoke with a gentle smile, but her words sent chills running through An Lin’s entire body.

Gentle my f*cking a*s!

Just how much did she hate him?!

From her expression, An Lin could tell that she was not kidding!

She really was going to do exactly as she said.

“You better not actually try that, or I’ll be forced to cut you down…” An Lin gripped his Evil-Slaying Sword tightly and adopted a menacing facade.

“Let’s see you try it then.” Black Spirit Snake’s tail whipped through the air, and she hurtled toward An Lin at extreme speed. At the same time, her glistening golden sword fell from the sky with an overwhelming force!

It was way too fast for An Lin to evade in his current condition.

Even though he had no chance of victory, he still let loose an almighty roar and charged toward Black Spirit Snake while wielding his Evil-Slaying Sword.

“So slow.” Black Spirit Snake burst into laughter. With An Lin’s current speed, she had time to slice An Lin a dozen times before his sword strike landed on her.

However, before her massive golden sword fell to the ground, a light breeze blew past.

A black figure suddenly appeared from thin air!

A pair of intricate little feet, a petite body, a pair of clear yet inky-black eyes, and a round and soft face…

This was an extremely adorable little girl.

Her soft little hand grabbed onto An Lin’s hand, which was holding onto the Evil-Slaying Sword, as if she was guiding An Lin’s sword strike, and the Evil-Slaying Sword accelerated explosively to more than a hundred times its original speed!

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye.

Black Spirit Snake’s pupils contracted, and the smile on her face didn’t even have time to wipe itself away.

The inky-black sword blade had already flashed past.

Splat!

Blood splattered into the air.

A ghastly wound had been sliced int Black Spirit Snake’s chest, from which blood gushed forth.

She stared at the little girl with incredulity on her face. “What… what kind of ghost is this?!”

The little girl pursed her lips before speaking in a tender yet domineering voice, “Hmph! Are you a blind snake? How could there be such an adorable ghost?”

She waved a hand through the air as she spoke.

Whoosh…

Bam!

A huge amount of blood suddenly exploded from the wound on Black Spirit Snake’s chest.

That attack just then was no ordinary sword strike. Little Xie had taken the opportunity to plan sword intent seeds within Black Spirit Snake’s body, and she was now detonating them to inflict further damage!

A golden light enshrouded Black Spirit Snake’s entire body.

The Dao Observation Space had already determined her elimination.

“I lost? Just like that?”

Black Spirit Snake’s eyes were blank and emotionless, as if she still hadn’t come to her senses yet.

An Lin recovered from his dumbstruck expression. Even though he had countless questions running through his own mind, he still clasped his hands behind his back and put on a resigned expression.

He heaved a long sigh. “I told you not to fight me, or I’ll be forced to cut you down. See what you made me do? You just had to make me insta-kill you!”

Black Spirit Snake: “…”

Blood trickled down the corners of her lips from rage.

“An Lin… You…

“You don’t fight fair!”

Tears of rage and indignation welled up in her heart.

She had never won a battle against An Lin.

In the Phoenix Small World, her phoenix egg had been taken by An Lin. On Earth, An Lin invented a nuclear fist, which reduced her clothes to tattered ribbons. In this Dao Observation Space, she was insta-killed by a single sword strike from An Lin…

An Lin immediately offered words of consolation at the sight of the tears welling up in her eyes, “It’s ok, you’ll learn to get used to it after losing a few more times.”

Black Spirit Snake: “…”

Little Xie: “…”

“An Lin… you’ll pay for this!

“I’m going to return the favor a hundredfold!”

Black Spirit Snake’s menacing words reverberated between heaven and earth.

She only had a chance to leave this parting sentence before she was teleported out of the Dao Observation Space.

Within the Heavenly Palace.

All of the mighty figures were completely astonished.

Most of the mighty figures spectating other battles had also turned their eyes toward An Lin.

All of them were perplexed and astonished by the spontaneous appearance of that little girl.

“My God, where did that little girl come from?”

“Gasp… What a terrifying power! To think that she’s capable of insta-killing Black Spirit Snake!”

“Holy crap, An Lin really is a man of countless miracles.”

“By the way, is it just me that finds that little girl really adorable?”

“Now that you mention it, I really want to go and pinch her cheeks.”

The little girl’s emergence had created a massive stir within the Heavenly Palace.

There were many mighty figures who already had a rough idea of who or what this little girl was, but they couldn’t be sure.

On the Heavenly Sword Sect table.

Zhu Shan stared blankly at the image on the screen. She was unable to comprehend nor accept what had transpired.

“How could this be… How could this be…”

She was eagerly awaiting the torture that Black Spirit Snake was going to inflict upon An Lin, but the scenes unfolding before her eyes gave her a vicious slap to the face!

Torture? What torture? An Lin insta-killed Black Spirit Snake with one strike!

Liu Mingxuan stared at the little girl and took a deep breath. “That’s a sword spirit! There’s no mistaking it. An Lin’s sword has also nurtured a spirit, and it’s an exceptionally high-level sword spirit!”
