### Chapter 0: Two Husbands Fighting Over One Woman (6)
==============================
Inside Thousand Bird City,
The relentless snowfall quickly buried everything in sight.
In an instant, whether it was the crumbling ruins or the bl**d-soaked ground, everything was cloaked in pure, holy white.
The world hidden beneath the snowy blanket seemed to say goodbye to dirt and darkness forever. Even if the snow only lasted for two or three days, it created an illusion of eternity.
At this moment, the Cold Moon Witch, standing tall with her sword, gave Ru Yu exactly that feeling.
Ru Yu let out a cold laugh.
When you’re being thoroughly stomped by Shilang and can’t move, you might just regret the contemptuous expression you’re wearing while opposing me.
At that point, whether I spare you or not might just depend on how pitifully you cry out, and how melodious your voice is.
Confronted by the proud stance of the Cold Moon Witch, Evil Shiyuan chose not to attack immediately.
Though the murderous aura still hung in the air, Ru Yu sensed hesitation in his actions for the first time.
What’s going on here?
Gongsun Ding had openly sided with Extermination of Immortals, so everyone witnessed that,
which means Thousand Bird City’s status as part of Extermination of Immortals was now a done deal.
If they wanted to rule Thousand Bird City, the first order of business was to eliminate the Cold Moon Witch. Even if they didn’t k*ll her, they needed everyone in Thousand Bird City to know she was just Shilang’s defeated underling, and would never dare meddle in city matters again.
Once that was done, their takeover of Thousand Bird City would be justified. As for Gongsun Ding, as long as he’s willing to submit, having an extra dog to feed wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
So, at this critical moment that would determine Thousand Bird City’s future, how could Shilang hesitate?
“Shilang! If you take her down, Thousand Bird City will be our backyard!”
Ru Yu’s harsh voice urged him on,
and Evil Shiyuan’s grip on his iron rod tightened even further.
In the distance, Shiyuan was desperately trying to rise, sensing the danger wafting through the air.
But his injuries hadn’t fully healed; while the bleeding had stopped and started to heal, the broken bones were still slow to mend, leaving him unable to even stand.
“Ahh… Is the ultimate showdown between the Princess Witch and Young Boy B finally about to begin? Boohoo, my once beloved, now turned foe on the battlefield—the Princess Witch’s heart must be bleeding.”
“Do only survival and d*ath, bl**d and corpses, truly resolve this mutual hatred?
No… Young Boy B, you have to show mercy! After all, she was once a woman who loved you deeply—she just loved the wrong person and can never return.”
“Enough, you two!”
“I mean, can you two lovely ladies stop your little role-play? Seriously?”
“Here we are in such a tense moment, the final battle deciding the fate of Thousand Bird City, and you turn it into a melodramatic scene.
Boohoo, I can never go back to the innocent past.”
The audience had always trusted the Cold Moon Witch and Extermination of Immortals’s strength, but after witnessing Evil Shiyuan’s wildness and dominance, their confidence in the duel’s outcome began to waver.
It wasn’t just the audience,
even the monster race from White Feather City nearby, and Luo Ying secretly observing from the side, seemed to feel the Cold Moon Witch shouldn’t go head-to-head with that boy.
After all, as the leader of a large organization, sometimes making a strategic retreat is more beneficial to controlling the situation and laying the groundwork for a future counterattack.
If she were to lose to her opponent, the consequences would be disastrous, potentially damaging the grassroots’ confidence in the organization, triggering a domino effect.
At this moment, the hearts of Thousand Bird City were with the Cold Moon Witch,
but her opponents aimed to publicly shatter her prestige and image, trampling her down to seize control of Thousand Bird City and realize their own ambitions.
Yet, the Cold Moon Witch seemed oblivious to the severity of the situation and prepared to engage directly.
That boy was clearly no pushover; he might even be more formidable than Ling Xiaozu, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sword Sect.
Though to this point, his identity remained a mystery.
This person was no mere nobody, yet Ru Yu had him firmly under her control. It must be said, Ru Yu was truly impressive and not to be underestimated.
Through the falling snowflakes, Lin Nan quietly gazed at the boy, who looked just like Shiyuan, radiating a tyrannical aura. He didn’t even need to lift a finger; it was as if the snow itself sensed that getting too near would spell instant d*ath and decided to stay far, far away.
Within a two-meter radius around his heels, there wasn’t a trace of snow left, and the ground remained dry.
Shiyuan was so badly injured, and Ru Yu was holding her ground like a challenger ready to ascend,
if she backed down now, what face would she have left in this world? Clinging to life wasn’t being cowardly; for the sake of her beliefs, she would d*e here without regret.
“Shilang, what are you waiting for? k*ll her!”
Ru Yu’s urgent and stern voice rang out again.
Evil Shiyuan’s slight hesitation was instantly replaced by resolve, perhaps because he no longer wanted to delve into the blurry memories or perhaps because only through slaughter could he temporarily forget everything and revel in the feast of bl**d and screams.
“Boom!”
The iron rod, swirling with countless spinning snowflakes, charged toward the Cold Moon Witch like an unstoppable force.
In that moment, even the ground and nearby buildings trembled uncontrollably.
Evil Shiyuan struck with such force it startled the audience; they felt as if, if that rod hit the ground, the entire Floating City would shatter into pieces.
Queen, can… can she block this hit?
“Clang…”
That was the sound of the Black Wind Sword being drawn.
At this moment, everyone present felt an indescribable sense of dread, as if their bodies were petrified—their perception of the outside world disappeared in a heartbeat.
Evil Shiyuan was no exception.
His body in mid-air froze instantly; the iron rod lost its target and heavily slammed into the ground beside the Cold Moon.
A wide fissure opened up, seemingly bottomless.
And at that very moment,
the Great King of the Split Land, hiding nearby and uneasy due to his guess about Evil Shiyuan’s potential identity, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.
He looked down to find the short sword he had always carried with him pulsating with brilliant light and vibrating fiercely.
Niu Gan Dang was instantly startled.
Holy moly! It’s the White Shadow Sword!
This was originally the Queen’s possession, gifted to him by the Evil Merman, and he’d been carrying it ever since. But due to a series of upheavals in Thousand Bird City, he completely forgot to return it to the Queen.
What a grave sin!
But before he could draw the treasured sword, the White Shadow Sword suddenly “whooshed” out on its own and collided squarely with Evil Shiyuan’s head.
The Great King of the Split Land stood there dumbfounded,
and when he saw Evil Shiyuan turn around, glaring at him fiercely,
Niu Gan Dang immediately felt like withering away!
I… I didn’t mean it! Do you believe me?
…
P.S.: Another vibrant day! Please vote in the morning!
