Chapter 505: Women’s War

The scene was thick with the smell of gunpowder as the black market Helong Hall’s young master, Mu Yiting, faced off against the young master of the Refining Demon Sect, Ling Meng.

Thinking back, the two had much in common. First, they were both young masters with considerable talent, but they faced persecution within their respective organizations. With the help of benefactors, they gradually rose to become leaders in their own right.

And the most significant similarity was that they both encountered Lin Nuo, albeit in different identities.

In a world of conflict, different factions clashed. No matter how much cooperation there was in the past, they had become enemies now, glaring at each other with hostility.

Mu Yiting’s surprise attack was calculated; she had anticipated that Ling Meng wouldn’t be present, catching her off guard by targeting her grain store and refining point.

But to her shock, Ling Meng returned just in time and ordered the evacuation of supplies and materials.

Did someone leak the information?

Regardless, even if Ling Meng had returned, it didn’t matter. She had seized the opportunity to take down several demon disciples, avenging the fallen members of her organization.

An eye for an eye—if you attack my side, I’ll hit back even harder. This was the unspoken agreement between the forces of the dark and the magic world: no morality, no persuasion with virtue.

Upon hearing the term “fiancé,” Ling Meng scoffed, saying, “Ha, I can’t believe you’re in such a hurry to get married. But I doubt he’s anything special. When it comes to true strength, let’s talk about my master, Wu Ying Ge. Remember him? If it weren’t for him, would I be defending you?”

“Wu Ying Ge is no match for my fiancé. You see, even he respects my fiancé. Wu Ying Ge is willing to help simply because of his face.”

“Is that so? That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard. Do you know who the Supreme Demon Lord is? Killing you is as simple as crushing an ant! You tear down the bridge after crossing it and still claim the moral high ground? Truly shameless,” Ling Meng retorted disdainfully.

“Remember when we allied with you? How many benefits did you extract from us? The constant pressure led to our slow extinction. Enough said; the mask is off, and we don’t need to say more.”

Mu Yiting gripped her spirit sword tightly, channeling her spirit energy as she charged at Ling Meng.

Ling Meng gestured for her subordinates to step aside. This was their battleground, a moment of decisive conflict where no one else could interfere.

As the two strong women battled, the other subordinates retreated, engrossed in their own fights, creating chaos all around.

The sharp spirit sword struck fiercely, while Ling Meng covered herself in a dark aura, summoning a hard magic shield to deflect the blow.

“You’re still too weak.”

Considering she was a recognized prodigy of the demon path, how could she lose to this weak woman?

With a powerful explosion, a wave of energy burst forth from her body, accompanied by demon qi. The force pushed Mu Yiting back, but she managed to stabilize herself, avoiding a fall.

This demon energy could corrode her veins, ultimately leading to her demise.

However, Mu Yiting wasn’t afraid. Having learned methods to expel demon qi within the Xuanyun Sect, she concentrated her energy, and a white spirit light surged forth, dispelling the demon qi.

“Hmm? I didn’t expect you to know this kind of spiritual technique. This doesn’t seem like something Helong Hall would use.”

Ling Meng was intrigued; didn’t this resemble the techniques of those righteous cultivators?

How delightful. She had always despised those righteous cultivators, so to treat Mu Yiting like one of them would make the killing all the more satisfying.

Winds roared, and waves of murky demon qi surged forth.

A furious whirlwind materialized, constantly bombarding with waves of murky energy, creating continuous rumblings.

Mu Yiting faced the whirlwind without faltering, wielding her spirit sword to unleash over a dozen sword energies, resisting the tempest and striking towards Ling Meng from all directions.

But the outer whirlwind summoned up an inner whirlwind that not only wrapped around Mu Yiting but also nullified her sword energies.

As the whirlwind swept in, her demon-repelling artifact barely held up against two attacks but ultimately shattered.

There was a clear disparity in strength, not to mention the inherent destructive power of demon techniques. The fact that Mu Yiting hadn’t been defeated yet was already impressive.

She was trapped, as if imprisoned, unable to escape.

If this continued, she would be killed.

Mu Yiting tried various offensive maneuvers and escape tactics. Even if she managed to hit Ling Meng, it would only be a minor injury; a fatal blow felt far out of reach.

But Ling Meng’s counterattacks dealt far heavier damage to Mu Yiting.

“You won’t survive.”

Though Lin Nuo had instructed Ling Meng not to cause trouble with Helong Hall, Ling Meng had a fiery temper. She could behave obediently in front of her master, but outside she was anything but.

Especially in the face of this woman, who had ambushed her—stopping her unpunished would just be humiliating.

She couldn’t hold back. She had to kill.

The demon qi within the whirlwind surged and expanded, concentrating around Mu Yiting with the intent to explode her into pieces.

Seeing that normal combat wouldn’t suffice, Mu Yiting chose an extreme solution.

Pop! Drug time—Fiery Explosion Pill.

A top-grade Fiery Explosion Pill, this would let her fight Ling Meng to the bitter end.

She pulled a top-grade pill from her pouch and swallowed it instantly. The effects hit fast, and immense energy surged through her.

Plus, her body was uniquely compatible with the effects of the Fiery Explosion Pill, allowing her to unleash her potential even more than normal.

Endless power flooded her system, and Mu Yiting felt stronger than ever before.

Each time she consumed a pill, her strength soared, and she had truly unlocked incredible effects.

At that moment, she erupted with powerful energy, shattering Ling Meng’s whirlwind, turning the tide of battle.

“This…”

Ling Meng didn’t expect Mu Yiting to suddenly unleash such strength, breaking through her demon technique and charging toward her rapidly.

As her sword fell, Ling Meng tried her hardest to block it, but it was futile—she was struck.

Grimacing in pain, she staggered back, her whirlwind calming, drops of red blood spilling as she fell back.

The tides had turned; now it was Ling Meng in a disadvantageous position, but she wouldn’t back down. Gritting her teeth, she continued her assault on Mu Yiting.

Boom!

The continuous explosions knocked down the nearby battling subordinates, sending them sprawling.

The scene was a massacre, dust flying everywhere, all nature wilted.

Meanwhile, Lin Nuo was on his way, sensing the immense energy being unleashed.

“So, it’s really come to this.”

Realizing things had gotten serious, Lin Nuo hastened his pace, feeling invigorated, moving at astonishing speed and even knocking aside passing cows and horses.

It hurt a bit, but it was no big deal.

A man like the wind emphasized efficiency.

Quickly, he arrived at the battlefield.

The scene was catastrophic; it was utterly inhumane.

What the heck—was this an all-out war?

Whoa, this energy, this light—was it Diga or Gaia?

Boom!

Another explosion sent thick dust billowing towards him.

“What on earth is this strength?”

He rushed to see for himself, spotting Mu Yiting and Ling Meng.

Mu Yiting had some injuries, but they weren’t severe. However, Ling Meng was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely.

Ling Meng was still releasing energy but was at a disadvantage, unable to contend with Mu Yiting, who was on the verge of taking her down.

Had Mu Yiting taken another pill? Referee, she’s breaking the rules!

But he realized it wasn’t right—Ling Meng might be the one truly violating the rules.
