Chapter 297 Sword Devouring

The night was still dense.

Fang Ziyu knelt on the ground. She widened her dark eyes and looked at the man in front of her.

"Miss Fang is so skilled. I admire you." Zhu Longqi looked down at Fang Ziyu condescendingly, his eyes almost brimming with color.

After obtaining the Heavenly Punishment Sword and bringing it back to his father, he thought that his weight in the eyes of the Overnight Priests would increase by a lot. When he took over this colossus one day, there would be much less resistance.

After a fight, Fang Ziyu knew that it was difficult for him to protect the divine sword that Xu Han had left him. Of course, she was unwilling, especially when she saw the complacent expression on Zhu Longqi's face that made her nauseous. This kind of unwillingness became even more intense.

She thought for a moment and suddenly thought of a plan. She simply threw the sword in her hand and threw the divine sword that everyone in the world had wanted to chase after for thirty years on the ground.

Then, Eldest Miss Fang turned to look at Zhu Longqi and smiled with narrowed eyes, "I lost. Take me with you."

Fang Ziyu said this very calmly, as if he was eager for Zhu Longqi to take her away.

However, the complacent expression on Zhu Longqi's face froze at that moment. He looked at the smiling Fang Ziyu and then at the Xingtian Sword lying on the roadside. His expression became extremely ugly.

Naturally, that wouldn't be a good feeling. It was as if the pirates who were sailing in the wind had finally found the treasure after experiencing many difficulties. However, there was a poisonous snake in front of the treasure. You didn't dare to step forward, but you didn't want to give up.

Zhu Longqi gritted his teeth and looked at Fang Ziyu with a ferocious expression. He said in a gloomy tone, "Miss Fang, do you think I don't dare to kill you?"

"Alright, then kill me. Put this Heavenly Punishment Sword here and wait for the fated person to obtain it." Fang Ziyu could tell that this Heavenly Punishment Sword was more important than anything else to Zhu Long. She grabbed onto the other party's pain and thought that perhaps the people from the Tian Ce Mansion or Xu Han would arrive after delaying for a while.

"You!" Hearing this, Zhu Longqi said, His expression instantly became even uglier. He wanted to vent his anger by killing this sharp-tongued Fang Ziyu, but it was just as Fang Ziyu had said. After killing her, he did not dare to take away the Xingtian Sword. Secondly, Fang Ziyu was still the Empress of the Chen Kingdom. If others did not know, he could do so. However, Xu Han had clearly run away. If this matter were to spread to the Chen Kingdom, he would not be able to bear it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Longqi gritted his teeth in hatred, but he had no choice but to take Fang Ziyu.

He stared straight at Fang Ziyu and looked at the girl's lovely face. Suddenly, his heart stirred and a sinister smile appeared on his forehead.

"Miss Fang, you're right. How can you be willing to kill Miss Fang?" As Zhu Longqi spoke, he took a step forward and arrived in front of Fang Ziyu. He bullied his body, and his body was almost in front of Fang Ziyu. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to lift Fang Ziyu's chin, his eyes flashing with greed, "Miss Fang is so beautiful like a flower. I really feel pity for her."

Although Fang Ziyu was quick-witted, she was still a woman. Zhu Longqi's actions immediately made her panic, "You, what are you going to do?"

She instinctively wanted to put aside her face, but Zhu Longqi's cultivation was much higher than hers. The hand that held her chin tightly restrained her like a pair of pliers. Even if she used all of her abilities, it would be difficult for her to escape.

"What are you doing? This lone man and widow, it's quiet in the middle of the night. What do you think I'm going to do?" Zhu Longqi smiled even more and reached out to touch Fang Ziyu's clothes.

"You dare!" Fang Ziyu became even more panicked. She shouted, "If you dare to move a bit, neither Chen nor Xu will let go!"

"Is that so?" Zhu Longqi sniffed at the fragrance of the girl's body, and a nameless evil fire suddenly rose in his heart. However, he was not a reckless person, nor was he a drunkard. He forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart and continued with a sinister smile, "If Miss Fang is willing to give up her innocence and die under this peony flower, she will be considered a romantic ghost."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and entered a little further away from Fang Ziyu.

"You … You!" Fang Ziyu didn't care about anything else. Out of the woman's instinct, she started to retreat with her feet.

"It's useless. Miss Fang, do you think you can run away? Why don't you help me pick up the Heaven Punishing Sword and I'll…"

Zhu Longqi said, but before he could finish his words, Fang Ziyu spat out a mouthful of saliva and coldly snorted, "Bah, even if I die, I will not do as you wish."

Zhu Longqi, who was already holding back his anger, was instantly enraged by Fang Ziyu's saliva.

"Good! Today, I wish that someone will use this place as a bed and the heavens as a quilt to form a dew marriage with Miss Fang!" With that, Zhu Longqi pounced towards Fang Ziyu like a wolf pouncing on food.

It was late at night, and there were no pedestrians in the side streets or alleys.

Zhu Longqi and Fang Ziyu scuffled together. Fang Ziyu resisted recklessly and let out a series of screams. He was about to be stripped of his clothes by Zhu Longqi.

However, at this moment, the Xing Tian Sword, which had been quietly lying on the ground, suddenly moved slightly.

Then, a faint bloody light spilled out from the sword's body. As time passed, the bloody light became heavier and heavier. In the blink of an eye, it was so dense that it enveloped the entire body of the sword.

The blade of the sword began to tremble. Waves of sword cries rose from the sword's body, from low to high, endlessly resounding.

Zhu Longqi, who was trying to strip off Fang Ziyu's clothes, naturally sensed this as well. He temporarily stopped moving his hand and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from. The scene in front of him caused his heart to tremble, and his body froze in place.

A blood-red sword floated in the air not more than a few inches away from him, its tip pointing straight at the center of his eyebrows.

The cold sharpness was like the eyes of a ghost, staring at him in the silent forest. A burst of shock appeared in his heart, but before he could react, the blade of the sword stabbed straight at him like a bolt of lightning.

Puchi.

It was just a soft sound. A bloody hole was opened between his eyebrows by the sword.

The shock in his eyes turned into terror, but this terror had yet to spread. It instantly dissipated, turning into a deathly silence.

The blood-red sword did not leave after taking his life. He was still stuck between Zhu Longqi's eyebrows, and the blood around the sword body was flourishing. Then, Zhu Longqi's body shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood energy around him continuously gathered towards the sword body.

In just a few breaths, Zhu Longqi's body turned into a dried corpse.

After tasting Zhu Longqi's flesh and blood, the Heaven Punishing Sword did not seem to be satisfied. It pulled out its blade and turned the blade to the side of Fang Ziyu, who was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Zheng!

At that moment, its sword let out a long cry, and then shot straight at Fang Ziyu like a poisonous snake.
