Chapter 2075
But the shackles of fate had already tightened, and despite her last ounce of strength, she could not escape this calamity.
Even a Qi Refining cultivator as strong as Xia Jiuyou is now at his limit.
Her body was brutally cleaved in two, the gruesome wounds constantly draining away her life force. She lay paralyzed in the void like a tattered, withered leaf.
Her murmured gaze fell upon the endless sky, the eternally flowing traces of the Great Dao blurred into shadows in her eyes, and a mournful murmur escaped her lips, as thin as a wisp of smoke, dissipating into the cold void.
San Guang landed slowly, and with a flash of light at his fingertips, all the personal magical treasures and storage items that Bai Rong and You Ruo had left behind flew into his hands. His movements were fluid and graceful, carrying the composure and greed of a victor.
He heard Xia Jiuyou's dying whispers and his gaze fell on her—her poignant beauty tinged with resolute determination was unlike any woman he had ever seen.
Now he is the absolute ruler of this void. Seeing this scene, a playful smile appeared on his lips as he slowly approached: "It's a pity that such a fairy has ended up like this."
"What is your name? Where do you come from? And why did you suddenly break into that ancient immortal formation and steal the seven-colored immortal gold?" San Guang asked casually, pacing back and forth as he posed these questions.
Xia Jiuyou was always aloof and arrogant, and she understood the principle of "the victor takes all" better than anyone. Faced with her enemy's questioning, she simply pursed her lips, her eyes devoid of any emotion, and chose to ignore it completely.
"Heh, you've got quite a fiery temper." Sanguang laughed instead of getting angry, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "But I, Sanguang, just happen to like this kind of temperament."
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and a lustrous jade bottle appeared out of thin air. He presented it to Xia Jiuyou, his smile growing even more meaningful.
"This is the Divine Water of Transformation, the sacred medicine that is the foundation of our sect. Even if you are only seriously injured and on the verge of death, or even if you only have one breath left, you can be completely restored with it."
Xia Jiuyou's empty eyes flickered slightly, finally showing a hint of life.
She looked up at the three-eyed man in front of her, her eyes filled with contempt and mockery: "You went to such great lengths to intercept and kill me, and now you're so kind as to save me?"
"Hahaha... Fairy, you are mistaken." Sanguang laughed loudly, his gaze greedily sweeping over Xia Jiuyou's exquisite face and otherworldly temperament, his tone seductive, "Hand over the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold, and sign a servant contract with me, and this bottle of sacred medicine will be yours, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of extreme disdain flashed deep in Xia Jiuyou's eyes. Although she did not speak, her expression said it all.
Seeing this, Sanguang was not angry at all; instead, he put on a patient and earnest expression and comforted Sanguang:
"Fairy, there's no need to worry. After you submit to me, you only need to cultivate with me occasionally. At other times, I will never restrict your freedom. In fact, I can even bring you into my sect and make you the sect's Holy Maiden, where you can enjoy all the honors. What do you say?"
"Holy Maiden... a furnace?" The words "Holy Maiden" were like a sharp knife, piercing Xia Jiuyou's heart and instantly touching the pain she had buried for thousands of years.
Her eyes suddenly surged with a frenzied, bloodthirsty light. Her tone was resolute as she shouted, "For thousands of years, I have struggled desperately to escape the fate of being a furnace! Now, do you think I would bear such a humiliating destiny again just to survive?"
"Kill me if you want! Don't even think about making me suffer such a vile thing!" Xia Jiuyou had exhausted even the strength to commit suicide. He could only use his remaining willpower to turn his words into the most vicious blade, trying to provoke Sanguang's wrath and make him give him a quick end.
It's hard to imagine that a brilliant and talented woman, driven to the brink, would utter such vile words. At first, she merely rebuked San Guang for his scheming and despicable nature, but later, her words became personal attacks, utterly humiliating.
She thought that such insults would surely shake San Guang's resolve and make him angry enough to take action.
However, Xia Jiuyou ultimately underestimated San Guang's state of mind.
"Hahaha, well said!" Sanguang laughed heartily, his eyes showing no anger, but rather a hint of admiration.
