Azure Continent

Northern Ice Mountain valley

Red! Everything is red…

Rong Fangsu's entire body was drenched in blood; her limb smeared with sweat and redness. Her legs limped, not a single ounce of strength left within her.

A heavy panting could be heard, her face paled from massive loss of blood. Not a signal of emotion could be seen on that peerless, beautiful face. Calm and still like tranquil pond, the two orb of chillingly cold eyes revealed her killing intent.

"Four Scale Formation!", the green clothed man coldly declared. His eyes shone with cruelty. "Don't you think you can escape, Rong Fangsu!"

Shiny, vicious rain pours upon Rong Fang Su, due to excessive blood loss. At the last minute, the bloody figure barely evades the attack. Her breath grows shallow and panting. Her lip bleeds at the corner as she s.u.c.k.e.d cold air down her lung.

"…You're really into this" Rong Fangsu spat.

Another figure came into vision, the blue clothed man coldly sneered: "Don't believe for a moment that I don't know the reason for your sudden visit to the Northern Ice Mountain. It's all for the sake of finding the rare ingredient, Five Spark Grass for the medicine recipe inside profound Hidden Star Book of Alchemy?"

Rong Fangsu's heart shook.

For second she was speechless. Only one answer popped up in her mind. How?

How did they know? There was only one person who knew of her trip to the Northern Ice Mountain valley. That person was prestige second Young Miss, Hong Nu Ying. Could it have been her who had betrayed me? But how could it be? Between them they are more than friends, the two ladies had known each other for many years. Through many life and death situations, they formed a strong bond of attachment. Their connection is a strong one, so strong that these two friends shared many secrets between them.

But if it is true, her strained heart grew heavy. The bloodless pain was immense.

Her eyes quickly scanned through the figures of the surrounding people, the corners of her mouth lifted.

"Two Stars Palace, High Might Sect and even Hidden Devil Sect of the Five Great Powers in the entire Azure Continent and three of these great masters have actually gathered here…On top of that, the ace of High Might Sect Chu Guang Guang is even here. I honored..." A cold laugh escaped her, eyeing the woman in front of her.

Dressed in the pale green dress the genius Chu Guang Guang smirked in satisfaction but said nothing. Mocking and ridicule in her eyes.

Rong Fangsu continued on, "The allure of the Hidden Star Book of Alchemy is truly great. Unfortunately, even if I did hand the Hidden Star Book of Alchemy to you, it is one of a kind….may I ask how will you three will divide it among yourself?"

The expression of the green clothed men changed and became unnaturally stiff. Even the smirked Chu Guang Guang's expression changed, the previous ridiculousness was replaced. Hurriedly the man cut her off.

"Don't try to stall any longer. Before the might of Four Scale Formation, the only fate awaited you is ruin. Prepare yourself! But in glory of your reputation of gifted Alchemist I could spare you surrender Hidden Star Book of Alchemy and pledge your loyalty to me!"

Rong Fangsu sarcastically laughed, her tone cold: "Pledge my loyalty? In your dreams! Me, Rong Fangsu has never relied on others to live! Only one I shall bow to!"

In a blink of eyes, the landscape changed. The land completely transformed. The world lit up in a raging of flames dyeing the area red. In contrast to intense heat the beauty approached. Chu Guang Guang took a big step forward as if eager to see her misery.

So does the green clothed man, he relaxed his shoulder, unstiffed his previous posture.

Rong Fangsu unblinked her eyes, s.u.c.k.i.n.g chill air down.

'Clank' a flashed of metal was the only thing Chu Guang Guang see. Soon enough another sound followed. 'Hiss' the steel dig into her flesh, scarlet wound bloom over her white feature. The green fabric cut and broken, revealed pale complex beneath then come a diagonal slice of red run from chin down to stomach.

The green clothed man shocked before he could regain his composed and reacted. Unsheathing he blade as he was about to lash out onto Rong Fangsu's bleeding limb.

'Clank' the sound of metal sang in the air. Rong Fangsu blocked and twisted the enemy's blade to one side then––

'Hiss' her blade cut straight into the flesh, a bloody flesh wound horizontally marred his face, fresh blood spurting out blinding the man in process.

"Not good!"

"How?"

Other great masters retreated, putting distance between them, in fear of facing Rong Fangsu's vicious attack. Her counterattack was beyond them, how could a broken woman like her manage to harm the pride of Five Great Powers in the entire Azure Continent?

Her attack was ruthless and fierce, so different from a dying girl.

"Quickly, stop her!" Someone shouted.

Contrast to her fury, her vision was dimming, the blindness slowly gripped her. She staggered, using her blade like a cane to hold up her broken form.

"Now!"

"Now our chance"

Her exhausted figure granted her enemy merry. But their happiness didn't last–

When the white clothed man witnessed this, his complexion turned unusually grave. Urgently he cried out: "Not good!"

"This woman!"

"She wants to self-destroy!"

"Not good!"

"Quickly, stop her!"

The scene can be described in one word: Chaos. Several people rushed forth, attempting to stop her but by the time they had reacted, it was already too late.

In one swift move, her blade shot down to earth, the vibrant troll shaking the ground in fury. The earth split beneath her bloody feet, avalanche stormed the place. Sect members clashed and wobbled down the deep fresh cut. Their scream and shirk filled the landscape as they descend to black abyss. As a nine degree realm, her last attack strong enough to wipe out a city. As for those within her immediate surroundings, they would naturally flee but did not do so.

As her enemies screamed, Rong Fangsu too sealed herself, fallen to deep darkness. Her mind calm as her vision darken.

There was nothing but black…
