Chapter 73

The mountain wind blew softly, exceptionally cold.

"Old hag, die." Jiang Nan snorted coldly, his body turning into a residual shadow, flashing to the extreme.

His divine body erupted, his blood energy was vast; he was a humanoid fierce beast.

As for the old hag, she didn't seem to be there.

That wasn't right either.

After he understood the array, it shattered like a dream bubble without any warning; it didn't break bit by bit.

The old hag shouldn't have sensed anything and run away in advance.

Having set up so much, she wouldn't just run away without fighting, would she?

The old hag was very confident in herself.

"Hmm?" Jiang Nan's expression changed abruptly as he pursued.

Such a thick smell of blood.

"Girl." Jiang Nan's residual shadow roared, and he had already arrived at the old hag's Gu-raising ground.

What kind of scene was this?

It was a mess everywhere, broken ground, blood flowing like a river, severed limbs and fragments...

A living hell.

The girl had no strength, just the effort she had put in before, and her physical fitness was comparable to the Bitter Sea realm.

Now he knew that this was the result of the old hag deliberately leaving food to cultivate.

He had thought she really cared about and appreciated the girl.

That wasn't right either; Jiang Nan felt he had walked out of the array very quickly, but it seemed some time had passed outside.

Did the two sides have different time flow rates?

Jiang Nan carefully investigated, his heart becoming increasingly cold.

The more it was like this, the less he could be careless.

Elder Ying was very insidious; he shouldn't let her use any more underhanded tricks from some corner.

The Gu-raising ground was very large, and some of the so-called Gu insect beasts were themselves very large and fierce.

Along the way, all Jiang Nan saw were the severed limbs and fragments of various monsters.

What a cruel slaughter this must have been.

Was the girl here?

Jiang Nan didn't dare to think about it.

The girl had always been working hard, and he had started cultivating late, so he also had to work hard.

So they had each been cultivating.

As his strength grew stronger and stronger, Jiang Nan didn't care much about these elders.

The girl had her own path, and it seemed he couldn't interfere too much.

He had been hesitating about this matter all along.

Now... was this her path, or a variable after he had influenced it?

"Old hag!" Soon, Jiang Nan sensed the old hag's aura and rushed over quickly.

Following that, he arrived at a broken open space.

Jiang Nan was full of murderous intent, and then he was also a bit stunned.

The old hag, dead?

He saw the old hag lying in a pool of blood, with wounds everywhere, especially a large hole in her chest; her vitality was long gone.

Even in death, she had disbelief and unwillingness.

"Girl..." Jiang Nan saw the girl in a pit nearby.

With a movement of his body, he went over.

The girl was covered in blood and wounds, and it was already hard to distinguish them.

Fortunately, she was complete, without severed fragments.

Jiang Nan looked at the bloodied girl, feeling only heartache and anger.

It was his carelessness... but...

The Empress's life was full of sorrow, with the whole world as her enemy; perhaps this was destiny.

This was just the beginning.

Only in this way could she rise in adversity and become the true Ruthless Empress.

Jiang Nan carefully helped her up.

It was at this moment that darkness, devouring, killing aura, baleful energy, madness... in short, an indescribable, wanton ferocity, destructive and insane, came sweeping in.

The heaven and earth turned dark, and his divine sense turned dark.

Both body and mind were under immense impact.

The girl opened her eyes abruptly; her eyes were blood-red, choosing people to devour, as if she were in a reincarnation hell. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
