"What did you say, Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian raised an eyebrow when Yang Wei began mumbling to himself.
"Oh- nothing… I was just thinking what to do with them now." Yang Wei said.
He didn't wish to say his thought process yet until he officially confirmed that they are no longer in the Misty Forest.
After all, the talisman could have failed due to the Anguished Fog's effect, and not because of their coordination.
Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.
Although a bit confused by Yang Wei's attitude, she didn't put much into mind as she turned around and glanced at Luo Zian and Peng Tian.
Her expression was savage, almost like she couldn't wait to play with her toys again.
.
"Since we got the answer we wanted… aren't you two worthless to us now?" Zhu Wenqian asked.
Peng Tian's face turned pale as he quickly begged on all fours and shouted, "Y-You swore to heaven about sparing my life. You can't renege on your promise."
"Relax, I never said anything about killing you, did I?" Zhu Wenqian chuckled softly.
She was loving the action and the expression Peng Tian was currently making.
She was the dignified queen of the Saint Race, and this was how the humans should have acted and behaved toward her, unlike Yang Wei.
'Tch, Yang Wei should have learned to be grateful that I even treated him as an equal.' Zhu Wenqian cursed inwardly as she tilted her head to stare at Luo Zian.
"I swore to heaven about sparing Peng Tian's life but I never swore to spare your life, Luo Zian." Zhu Wenqian said.
Luo Zian's body trembled rapidly as he knew Zhu Wenqian would really do what she had said.
After all, her abilities and cultivation could not be comprehended by them.
Luo Zian followed Peng Tian as he pleaded for mercy.
"P-Please spare my life… I have the brain and knowledge to be able to assist you unlike this dumb Peng Tian here." Luo Zian stuttered as he threw Peng Tian under the bus.
Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders.
"Luo Zian, if you manage to kill Peng Tian then I shall spare your life." Zhu Wenqian suddenly said as she snapped her fingers.
Afterward, Luo Zian and Peng Tian felt their spiritual qi coming back to their core.
Their strength was coming back and both held a fierce expression at each other.
They didn't even think for a second of attacking Zhu Wenqian because they knew their own capability.
Fighting Zhu Wenqian was nothing but courting death.
However, that wasn't the case if they simply managed to kill the other as they could still have a chance of living.
"Peng Tian, prepare to die." Luo Zian grunted as he activated his movement technique and attacked Peng Tian.
Peng Tian snorted coldly as well and used his own movement technique to match up with Luo Zian's speed.
While Peng Tian and Luo Zian began their fight to the death, Zhu Wenqian returned to her chair as she crossed her legs.
She was full of amusement when she watched the two of them are really trying to kill each other despite being fellow disciples.
"Why couldn't you just kill them instantly?" Yang Wei asked.
He found it pointless to be wasting their time here when they planned on killing them from the start.
"Because it's fun and this is their retribution for disturbing this queen's slumber." Zhu Wenqian sneered.
Yang Wei sighed as he shook his head.
'Women are indeed crazy once provoked and it's absolutely best to not get on their bad sides.' Yang Wei noted this to heart as he wished to never get into Peng Tian and Luo Zian's position.
Sometime later, a tear-jerking scream echoed around the cliff.
The scream was thunderous, and the sound would have alerted the Killer Bees nearby if Zhu Wenqian hadn't cast a sound concealment formation beforehand.
Meanwhile, Peng Tian plopped to the ground since his legs were chopped off by Luo Zian.
Luo Zian had blood splattered around his face but he didn't care at all. He had his full attention on the now-crawling Peng Tian.
"Dare to backstab me?" Luo Zian mocked as he staggered toward Peng Tian.
"No one can backstab this brother, not even in their dreams." Luo Zian roared as he raised his swords.
His swords vibrated heavily and shone brightly as he injected his spiritual qi into the sword.
Peng Tian held a horrified look as he watched Luo Zian slowly slash his sword down into the middle of his forehead.
With a clean slice, almost like a knife cutting through butter, Luo Zian had chopped Peng Tian's body into halves.
Bloods, intestines, and organs were splattered across the terrain and caused a disgusting gory mess.
"Amazing finish!" Zhu Wenqian stood up as she clapped her hand in admiration.
"Such gore is really an amazing show to watch before sleeping." She added.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei was dumbfounded to see Zhu Wenqian smiling devilishly.
'Didn't you get frightened by the mere sight of a skeleton previously?' Yang Wei questioned inwardly.
He was getting more and more lost by the action of Zhu Wenqian.
However, Yang Wei didn't get a chance to think further when Luo Zian began laughing like a maniac.
"Hahaha, I won." Luo Zian shouted happily as he raised his sword up, almost like he was posing for the victory screen.
Zhu WEnqian smiled at Luo Zian as she clapped her hand to praise him.
"Congrats for winning!" Zhu Wenqian congratulated him for killing his fellow disciple.
And she continued, "You have indeed impressed me by showcasing how selfish and greedy humans can be when their lives are on the line."
Luo Zian twitched his mouth as he didn't know what else to say.
"Anyway, now that I won, you have to spare me." Luo Zian demanded.
Zhu Wenqian nodded her head.
"Of course, I will keep my promise." Zhu Wenqian said.
She then turned around and flicked her hand secretly.
Multiple strands of Saint Qi flew out and pierced Luo Zian's forehead.
