Miss Loser is too enchanting

Dugu Qianye watched as the people below struggled increasingly, saying, "Xiaohuo, use the most powerful flame aside from Golden Fire." Then she put away Charm and began using Spiritual Power Attacks.

Perhaps because Dugu Qianye had once experienced heavenly lightning, her Spiritual Power Attacks delivered the greatest blow to these ghosts, carrying a hint of Heavenly Punishment. Thinking of Heavenly Punishment, Dugu Qianye suddenly remembered the Thunder Spiritual Technique she had learned. This technique was likely more effective against such darkness. She hadn’t thought to use it before as she had seldom applied it.

No sooner thought than done, Dugu Qianye stood up, began to slowly draw upon the elements between heaven and earth, and soon, the sky above them was obscured by dark clouds. Seeing those clouds, the ghosts below started trembling with fear.

"Crack!"

Thunder exploded in the sky, relentlessly pursuing those dark beings below.

Baili Ruyan had already called back all her subordinates the moment she saw Dugu Qianye summoning the elements from heaven and earth. Fortunately, she did so in time, or because of a delayed reaction, many ghosts were directly shattered by the lightning. The rest were barely clinging to existence.

"My treasures!" Seeing her precious ghosts nearly annihilated by Dugu Qianye’s few strikes of lightning, Ci Hun cried out in pain, ignoring Mo Feng’s attempts to hold her back and hurling a mass of Death Qi toward Dugu Qianye.

"Don’t you dare hurt my sister!" Xiaohuo saw the attacking Ci Hun and spat out a flame. This flame, second only to Golden Fire in strength, was too much for a mere ghost like Ci Hun. She was enveloped in the flame and reduced to nothing but smoke within moments, not even making it within ten meters of Dugu Qianye.

Sha and Mo Feng watched as Ci Hun was burned to death, and with her demise, her contracted soldiers vanished as well. Already heavily weakened, this was adding insult to injury.

"Idiot!" Sha couldn’t help but curse.

Because of the dark clouds in the sky, Sha and the others dared not make any rash moves. Even with thousands of troops at their back, they did not dare to summon them recklessly. Heavenly lightning was their nemesis after all!

Baili Ruyan was also somewhat wary of heavenly lightning, as it was an instinctual fear. But since it was summoned by Dugu Qianye, she was not worried about the lightning striking her. The two sides were thus deadlocked.

"You’re quite impressive," Yasha’s voice resounded once again, but this time without the ease and confidence from before, instead, there was a hint of grinding teeth.

"Of course, we are," Baili Ruyan said. "The partnership between Qianye and me has never failed, and it won’t this time either!"

"Is that so?" Yasha’s figure slowly emerged in front of Sha and the rest, still seated on a Skeleton Throne amidst swirling black mist, rendering his face unclear to all.

"Uncle Yasha still likes to hide from people, does he?" Baili Ruyan said, seeing Yasha appear.

"You’re still so unlovable," Yasha said, and with a wave of his hand, all the black mist surrounding him dispersed, "Uncle just fears my face might make you reluctant to lift a hand against me later."

Yasha was indeed handsome, but not to the degree of being peerless between heaven and earth. Perhaps, he might be considered the most handsome among his people, but here—

"Little Yeye, this guy isn’t as good-looking as me, you’d better look at me than him." Zi Xiao had stealthily appeared on Xiaohuo’s back, right next to Dugu Qianye, vainly speaking.

"Um, indeed, not as pretty as you," Dugu Qianye nodded in agreement. But she chose the word "pretty," which described Zi Xiao’s masculine charm as a more effeminate beauty, typically used for girls.

Zi Xiao, who had led the Secret Pavilion to a position where it could stand against the Divine Temple, clearly understood the implication behind her words. But he wasn’t angry, for he would never take offense to anything she said.

"So ugly, yet you have the nerve to call yourself beautiful. Do you think my master is dead?!" Ci Hun said, looking at the Yasha.

"Pfft!" Even though the time and place were not right, everyone couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Baili Ruyan’s lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly despite the biting cold, saying, "Uncle Yasha, there is some truth to that statement."

The Yasha’s face darkened ever so slightly at Ci Hun’s words. Even though it was a minor change, the former Baili Ruyan who used to interact with him frequently knew this was a sign of his anger.

"Since you are all so eager to seek death, then I shall oblige you." After speaking, the Yasha leaped from the Skeleton Throne and attacked Ci Hun.

The Yasha was far more formidable than those ghosts and apparitions, and his special race meant that the current Ci Hun was no match for him, even if it was the auspicious Kylin! Baili Ruyan swiftly flew in front of Ci Hun to face the Yasha’s palm strike containing Death Qi.

"Pfft..." Baili Ruyan was struck, forcing her to retreat repeatedly, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Dugu Qianye hurriedly flew down and caught her.

Without a change in expression, the Yasha retreated to the Skeleton Throne, but the hand hidden in his sleeve was trembling nonstop. Soon after, the black fog enveloped him once again.

He knew Baili Ruyan’s previous strength. It was precisely because he knew she had outstanding talent that he outwardly treated her well, coddling and spoiling her, secretly having her do absurd things to interfere with her cultivation. Thus, when he left that place, he was very clear about Baili Ruyan’s level of strength.

How could he have expected that in such a short period she had not seen, Baili Ruyan’s strength had progressed so much?!

"Ruyan, how are you?" Dugu Qianye supported Baili Ruyan and took out an Elixir for her to consume.

After swallowing Dugu Qianye’s Elixir, Baili Ruyan hurriedly circulated her energy, allowing the Elixir to work faster. The Yasha was very strong, much stronger than she had anticipated. If it had been in their environment, that one palm strike could have directly taken her life!

"Xiaohuo, Lan Mei." Dugu Qianye called out.

Xiaohuo and Lan Mei immediately came to Dugu Qianye’s side, each taking one of Baili Ruyan’s hands. Ci Hun stood behind Baili Ruyan, staring blankly at the dark figure in front of him.

Baili Ruyan was also a creature of darkness, and as an auspicious creature, he had an innate aversion to her. It was only because of Dugu Qianye that he hadn’t opposed her, but deep down, he still didn’t like her.

When the Yasha’s palm strike came, he too felt the danger, but he didn’t expect her to step in and take the hit for him!

At that moment, his mind went blank, not reacting until he saw her spitting blood and retreating. He wanted to go up and support her, but was torn by his emotions and hesitated. It was this hesitation that allowed Baili Ruyan to be caught by Dugu Qianye.

Now, watching Xiaohuo and Lan Mei hold her up on either side, it seemed superfluous for him to go over.

Dugu Qianye told Xiaohuo and the others to support Baili Ruyan and move back, giving her time to heal.

"The master hasn’t been this angry in a long time. The last time was when Mo Feng’s meridians were broken by someone, right?" Xiaohuo helped Baili Ruyan to sit down on the ground behind them and then stood beside her with Lan Mei, protecting her.
