Chapter 2357: Witch's True Nature

"I know!"

The Song Girl agreed with a nod, took Ye Liuyun's hand, and walked into the arena with him.

Ye Liuyun, however, was on edge, fearing another assassin might strike, and dared not relax at all.

They entered the waiting area to await the match; as soon as they sat down, they felt hostile gazes.

Ye Liuyun and the Song Girl looked over and saw that it was Hong Kun and his son.

He sat in a better spot, with many strong protectors nearby.

Hong Feng even taunted the Song Girl with a beheading gesture to scare her.

"What a death wish!"

The Song Girl sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun, too lazy to look at him.

Ye Liuyun also averted his gaze and told the Song Girl, "Focus on your fight, don't let him affect you.

I'll take care of them for you!"

"You underestimate me?

I'll avenge my grudge myself! I should start a killing spree, otherwise these guys think I'm easy to bully!"

The Song Girl said with a pout.

Since joining the competition, the Song Girl has been relatively restrained in her attacks.

Although she once accidentally killed two contestants, it was during fierce battles when she failed to control her power.

That's already much better than before.

She doesn't aim to make a good impression on others; she wants Ye Liuyun to see her change.

But anyone now who wants to kill her in battle, she will show no mercy.

"Alright! Little Witch, then I'll be watching your performance! But you can't get injured just because you have to kill him, or it will affect the later matches!"

Ye Liuyun was already very satisfied with the Song Girl's recent performance, so he no longer restrained her, only reminding her not to get hurt.

The Song Girl readily agreed.

That day's match was extremely intense.

The remaining contestants' strength kept rising, and the audience's excitement surged.

Ye Liuyun paid little attention to the match, instead constantly watching the surroundings to prevent anyone from striking the Song Girl again.

Soon it was the Song Girl's turn to step onto the stage, and her opponent was Hong Feng.

"Wait for my good news!"

The Song Girl cheerfully told Ye Liuyun that, then stepped onto the stage to ready herself.

Hong Feng also reassured Hong Kun and then climbed onto the arena.

When the referee announced the start, Hong Feng snarled and charged at the Song Girl.

The Song Girl met him, but suddenly used the Soul-Shaking Wave Secret Technique, stunning Hong Feng, then seized the chance to slip under his palm and slashed Hong Feng with a strike.

The strike cut across Hong Feng's side waist; the Short Sword went halfway in, leaving a wound half a palm deep.

"You little whore, you cheat!"

Hong Feng took a big loss right away and couldn't save his face.

He immediately swallowed a Healing Elixir and, at the same time, swallowed the antidote to the poison powder.

Now already wounded, he feared he couldn't beat the Song Girl and prepared in advance.

"Looking for death!"

The Song Girl's expression suddenly turned cold and eerie; her form became fleeting as she circled Hong Feng, continuously attacking, with the Short Sword repeatedly stabbing at his vital points.

Hong Feng tried hard to keep distance from the Song Girl, not wanting close combat, but couldn't shake her off, and was struck by her two slashes; though the injuries were minor, they were still quite embarrassing.

So, unable to gain an advantage, he immediately drew his fan.

He used the fan as a weapon to attack the Song Girl.

When Ye Liuyun saw him produce a fan, he promptly examined it with his Golden Pupil and discovered some powder inside.

But being too far away, he didn't know what toxin the powder was.

It was clear Hong Feng was about to use a shady trick.

He immediately used a Slave Seal to notify the Song Girl, urging her to be more cautious.

The Song Girl, seeing him suddenly brandish an unfamiliar weapon, also became cautious at once.

Thus, when she felt the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra begin to auto-activate, she instantly realized Hong Feng intended to poison her.

She intensified her attack twice, then pretended to be poisoned, withdrawing all her True Essence back into her body.

Hong Feng, seeing the Song Girl abruptly pull back her True Essence, thought she was poisoned and was using True Essence to suppress the toxin.

So he immediately rushed forward, not wanting to give the Song Girl a chance to surrender.

If the Song Girl were to say surrender, he would lose the chance to kill her.

And his poisoning would be exposed.

Although the competition doesn't forbid poisoning, it's still not a glorious method.

Hong Kun at this moment became smug, gloating as he looked toward Ye Liuyun.

"What does it feel like to watch your sister die right before your eyes?"

He sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun, saying.

Ye Liuyun ignored him, calmly watching the Song Girl's performance.

His Golden Pupil had already seen that the Song Girl was deliberately luring Hong Feng, so he wasn't worried at all.

Sure enough, as Hong Feng rushed forward, the Song Girl suddenly charged at him as well; the two collided head‑on at tremendous speed.

The Song Girl's True Essence erupted, concentrating on the knife she wielded.

Ah!

Hong Feng was startled, but it was already too late to dodge, so Hong Feng could only defend as best as possible.

Hong Feng usually fights opponents of similar stature, so defending against the short Song Girl required Hong Feng to deliberately adjust his attack angle, making Hong Feng's movements inevitably a bit stiff.

Just as Hong Feng struck downward, the Song Girl suddenly leapt up, head down and feet up, passing just over his head, and her knife‑wielding little hand swung down across his neck.

When Hong Feng tried to block, the Song Girl had already landed behind him.

Hong Feng felt his hand had stopped in place.

Immediately, a line of blood burst from Hong Feng's neck.

Hong Feng hurriedly covered his neck with both hands, but bright blood spewed wildly from his fingertips.

A "Wuwu" sound came from Hong Feng's throat, yet Hong Feng could not speak.

The Song Girl then spun again, a Yi Dao slashing at Hong Feng's rear neck, fearing his death would not be thorough.

How dare you!

Hong Kun couldn't help but shout to stop them.

Hehe, what does it feel like to watch your son die before your eyes?

Ye Liuyun at this moment used Transmission Voice to Hong Kun, replying to his earlier provocation.

At the same time, a flash of cold light flashed, and the Song Girl this time sliced Hong Feng's entire head off.

Then she naturally took away Hong Feng's Storage Ring.

She originally intended to step down, but after glancing at the threatening Hong Kun, she flipped over, used her knife to pry out Hong Feng's Nascent Core, waved it at him, and then stored it in the Storage Ring.

The audience below erupted, murmuring and debating.

I didn't expect this little girl to have such a ruthless side!

There must be a reason behind this; otherwise why hasn't she been ruthless to others!

Marquis Wanwei was also watching the battle, and upon seeing the Song Girl act ruthlessly, he felt great delight.

He had long been eyeing the Song Girl.

But he found the Song Girl's moves not ruthless enough, hesitating whether to invest effort in cultivating her.

Now that Ma Shan saw the Song Girl also had a fierce side, Ma Shan made a decision to take this little girl under his command.

Ah!

Hong Kun let out a roar, ordering his subordinates: "Kill them for me!"

Some of Hong Kun's Martial Cultivator subordinates immediately charged at Ye Liuyun and the Song Girl.

Stop!

Marquis Wanwei didn't wait for them to act, and instantly shouted to halt them.

A squad of Marquis Wanwei's guards rushed over at once, blocking all of Hong Kun's subordinates.
