The chaos lasted for a while before finally stopping.

Long Aotian was no longer releasing magic. Perhaps his magic and mental powers were exhausted! Yet, he still wanted to heal Long Yuqing.

“You're a monster! You just won't die!”

Long Aotian's face distorted as he resentfully glared at Long Shiyan, who was standing perfectly still. If he didn't need to preserve Long Yuqing's life, he would have slaughtered her no matter the cost.

Slaughter—it would only take a blade to kill her like slaughtering livestock.

Long Shiyan was expressionless as a pair of dull eyes, like a deep pool of water, met with his furious eyes. Unlike how Long Aotian was still angry, she seemed to have returned to normal. This might be because of her personality and the fact that she had been firmly standing in place to resist Long Aotian's magic the entire time.

Her indifference contrasted with Long Aotian's fury.

But she did not care about Long Aotian's anger and turned to Zi Linglong's side to treat her with the remaining powers of the faith. Then, she faced Long Aotian. “Auntie could have been saved, but you hindered her treatment.”

Her voice was not loud but was clearly heard by Long Aotian.

Looking towards Zi Linglong's rapid recovery, Long Aotian suddenly became even angrier. “Get lost! You? Having good intentions? Ridiculous! My aunt was already being treated by me.”

He was not willing to admit that her cure was better than his own.

“Actually, it's better if Auntie died since then, no one could stop us from fighting. How about that?” Long Shiyan said apathetically.

“F*ck that! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Flames burst within Long Aotian's eyes.

Long Shiyan was not afraid, instead, she suddenly laughed. Her laugh was an extremely rare sight. She simply smiled and said, “Long Aotian, oh Long Aotian, seeing your frustration and anger makes me happy. I will be frank with you. Originally, Auntie could have been healed, but you stopped me from treating her. Therefore, you are the true culprit for killing your aunt.”

“You…” Long Aotian gritted his teeth, but he couldn't refute her words. “You are deceiving me, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”

“Long Aotian, you're still courting death!” Long Shiyan said slowly, “And, you shouldn't think that I'm not aware of your true narrow-minded thoughts. For example, it's the same with your aunt. You have always been interested in Auntie's beauty, and you wanted to take her as your wife. Haah, to think that you wish to marry another member of the Long family. So you really do want to be the head of the Long family!”

“You are talking nonsense!” Long Aotian's face flushed in anger. “I don't have those kinds of thoughts.”

“Right now, my aunt is dead. What else are you hiding from me?” Long Shiyan sneered. “If you want to prove your innocence, then make an oath. Let me see you make an oath to your ancestors!”

It could be said that the words of Long Shiyan were cruel as they were completely directed towards Long Aotian's fragile heart. She was provoking this scoundrel so he would lose his rationality, allowing her to finish him off.

Long Aotian liked Long Yuqing. This started when he fell in love with her the moment they first met. However, this was the only reason and nothing more. At most, he only thought about acting on his feelings, but he never really did anything. Even now, he didn't dare to act on those feelings. 

But this did not mean that Long Aotian had no moral values in the beginning, however, he gradually lost those values. In the original book, Long Yuqing was kidnapped by the emperor and was brought to his palace as an imperial concubine. After Long Aotian learned that, he charged into the empire's imperial city and ma.s.sacred the people there until Long Yuqing was rescued.

During this period of time, they began to develop feelings for each other. With the help of Yu Qingrou, Long Yuqing's best friend, Long Aotian was able to confess quickly. In the end, Long Yuqing also forgave him as she repressed her embarra.s.sment and entered his harem.

Long Yuqing told him that she did not care about how outsiders saw them. This made a huge impact on Long Aotian. He recalled the book, The Return of the Condor Heroes, by Jing Yong and how Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu overcame obstacle upon obstacle to fulfill their love despite being master and disciple. In the end, all of their efforts came to fruition.

(TLN: In Chinese culture, love between master and disciple is taboo since it's like incest.)

And as long as he became stronger, there would be no problem with changing the world. So, there would be no issues with their union.

Of course, this was only the case in the original story.

Nowadays, while Long Aotian liked Long Yuqing, he had yet to be consoled by Long Yuqing's words. At this moment, his conscience was still affected by the views of others, and the impact on his mind was immense. Originally, in his heart, there was a sense of guilt, but now he felt ashamed.

Even now, he still didn't have the ability to act freely and outside the reach of law even though the white cat helped him find a few alternatives.

The effects of Long Shiyan's suppression on his psyche was clearly seen!

Besides, ignoring the fact that Long Yuqing had died, she was able to waste Long Aotian's energy. At the last moment, she was able to think of this strategy. Originally, she only had a small amount of her power of faith remaining. Between Long Yuqing and the seriously injured, Zi Linglong, she could only choose one of them to save.

To bring Long Yuqing back to life, she had no choice but to act irrationally. Although Long Yuqing did not know the real reason for everything that was happening, she still wouldn't let Long Shiyan and Long Aotian ma.s.sacre one another, As a result, Long Shiyan allowed Long Yuqing to leave this world temporarily.

Anyway, the points she gathered through the system, Qian Qian, were almost sufficient. When everything was resolved, she could resurrect them all and everyone would return to their former states.

This was her heart's greatest wish, and she had been working hard toward this goal from the very start.

And Zi Linglong was her number one believer, so using the power of faith on her might have some miraculous effects. This was also a similar method that the original story's Long Aotian had used.

“Shut! Your! Trap!” Long Aotian, whose willpower was insufficient, was weakened by Long Shiyan's words. He clenched his jaw and suddenly put Long Yuqing down. Carrying his sword, he madly roared and hacked at Long Shiyan.

His attack was impulsive and full of flaws.

Long Shiyan took advantage of this opportunity. She clenched her fist and knocked Long Aotian away. Once she opened her fist, the distant épée suddenly flew over to her. She grabbed it and brandished the épée toward Long Aotian.

The épée struck towards his head.

An ordinary person would be crushed under her a.s.sault, but Long Aotian just felt dizzy. He changed directions while rotating several times. Then, he stopped moving, swaying ever so slightly.

Long Shiyan gritted her teeth and leaped forward. She used "Transcending One's Spirits" on him, but it merely increased the number of times that Long Aotian twirled around.

“d.a.m.n it!”

Long Shiyan clenched her jaw, gripped her épée, and flew up again. She used "Glorious Heart" on him, but the result was still the same.

“You freak!”

Her hands trembled.

There must have been something protecting him, but she couldn't sense what it was. Was this caused by the will of the world? No! It shouldn't have had the capabilities to do this.

The system said that she broke away from the will of the world's control.

How could she not kill Long Aotian in this situation?

This—this should have been impossible!

She did not believe that she couldn't kill him. She took out a sharp sword from her spatial ring and stabbed it towards Long Aotian's heart. Blood flowed out and when she was about to gouge into his chest, she noticed that Long Aotian was holding the tip of her blade with both hands. A pair of red eyes were coldly staring at her.

This was exactly the same as Zi Linglong.

Or rather, it was similar to Zi Linglong's outer exterior sh.e.l.l's hardness.

“How come?!”

Long Shiyan dropped her sword and distanced herself from him.

It shouldn't be this difficult to finish him off; she wanted to examine him and figure out what was going on. It was a pity that the system was not here, so she couldn't ask why. Although her mind screamed for her to retreat, she could not respond to it in time.

“Roar!!”

Long Aotian raised his head towards the sky and roared like a dragon.

On the other enchantment, Long He, who was restrained, suddenly struggled free from the restrictions. He madly attacked the people near him, and then stopped in front of Long Aotian. He began to spew a dragon's breath.

Long Shiyan dodged out of the way and found for a chance to strike Long He with a "Glorious Heart," but it only hurt him slightly. Furthermore, her attack didn't reach his weak point. Long Aotian grabbed her ankle as she was flying above him and smashed her into the ground, which formed a large pit.

Long He seized the opportunity to use his dragon's breath into the pit.

Before anyone could react to the incident, it was too late. As they watched on in disbelief, everyone understood that Long Shiyan was dead.

A dragon's breath was the most horrible elemental magic in the world as it was far greater than ordinary magic. In the face of this, one could only find ways to take refuge. While dragon could not affect the restriction magic array, if it became berserk, destroying their school was completely no problem.

Moreover, there was also Long Aotian.

However, Long Shiyan did not die.

Under the dragon's burning hot breath, she slowly crawled up from the pit. Her scorched hand wrapped around the épée and did not let go of it. She glared at the duo icily.

Right now, she was completely naked as her clothes had already been burnt off. However, her exposed skin was not white and soft but charred.

It was obvious how much the dragon had harmed her. 

“Is she a monster?” Long He tilted his dragon head and asked Long Aotian. But Long Aotian's eyes were completely red as they contained killing intent. He didn't seem to pay attention Long He's question

“G.o.dly Ability: Transcending One's Spirits!”

Long Shiyan wanted to fly towards Long Aotian but was swatted away by Long He's tail. Long Aotian followed him and flew over to her. He viciously used his elbow to pound onto Long Shiyan's waist.

Long Shiyan plunged into the ground again and could not get up.

Long Aotian crouched on her body, using his fist to ruthlessly punch her head. It was unknown how many times he punched her. He also grabbed her by her hair, pulling her up. Then, he tried throwing her at Long He.

Long He prepared to release another dragon's breath.

However, Long Shiyan suddenly opened his red and swollen eyes. She grabbed Long Aotian's head and twisted herself onto his back, hooking her arms around his neck as she tried to snap it. 

Since even a blade couldn't chop off his neck, how could she forcefully break it?

However, a surprising effect occurred, Long Aotian did not suffocate. At most, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He reached out and caught her body. Once he did, he chucked her away.

Then, a dragon's tail smashed down on her once again.

Long Shiyan rolled away to avoid being injured but was suddenly hit by several lightning bolts, which paralyzed her body. Long He released another dragon's breath; the burning hot flames combusted her body.

Indeed, she could not face them any longer!

Perhaps she could barely manage to defeat Long Aotian, but since he was with Long He, who was unparalleled against those of his level, there was no chance of winning. Moreover, she consumed a lot of energy when fighting with Long Aotian earlier, and she was injured from head to toe.

Within a few minutes, she would undoubtedly die.

She knew that her body was completely unable to withstand the mad attacks of these two monsters. After being hit by Long He's heavenly lightning paralyzing her, plus his dragon's breath attack, she was sure to die.

The body was completely incapable of moving because of paralysis.

However, she was hugged by a warm body and was taken away from that horrible area.

Long Shiyan coughed a few mouthfuls of blood and then opened her left eye with difficulty, only to see that it was Zi Linglong who was holding her. She bit her lip as she looked at Zi Linglong's face, which was ruined beyond recognition by glistening teardrops.

Long Shiyan inclined her head and saw that countless of magical attacks landed on Long He and Long Aotian, however, they seemed to be ineffective. Obviously, this Long Aotian was a cheat character.

“Ling—Linglong.” Long Shiyan breathed unsteadily and said with an inarticulate voice, “Those two are nearly invincible. Right now, we are not their opponents. When I break open the enchantment, you should quickly escape. I will stop them. Using Long He's dragon scales, perhaps—I can kill him.”

Zi Linglong frantically shook her head and cried out, “No way! I—I don't want to!”

Long Shiyan couldn't open her eyes. When she tried opening her left eye, she couldn't as it was shut tight. Maybe her eyes didn't work! No, her eyes must have been ruptured.

Except for her left ear and mouth, the rest of her body, including her internal organs, could not function properly. Oh, her right hand still worked.

Don't let go of the sword!

“Why are you crying?” Long Shiyan slowly moved out of her embrace. “You must escape far away without delay. After, find a way to contact Qian Qian. She will tell you everything about me, including everything about you. When you become stronger, you avenge me.”

“No.” Zi Linglong rapidly shook her head with tears in her eyes, but she was unable to stop Long Shiyan from doing her next actions. Long Shiyan ignited the G.o.dly inheritance within her mind as her death was certain. Then, in an instant, she separated from Zi Linglong's arms. She caught hold of the épée and moved towards the corner of the enchantment.

Once again, she flew up and relied on her ears and spiritual power to locate the position of the duo. She flew as high as she could at extremely fast speeds. In the blink of an eye, she reached Long Aotian and used her sword to aim at one of his hands.

Long He's tail arrived, but she avoided it. Thrusting her sword out, she attempted to strike Long He's scales.

Long He also perceived the impending crisis. He tilted his body aside so she would avoid his vital points. As he pressed her down under his foot, he slashed her using his claws and stuck her with a heavenly lightning bolt. 

Listening to Long Shiyan's words, Zi Linglong, who was about to leave, turned around and just happened to witness this scene. Naturally, she was dumbstruck as she could not take another step. Revenge! Revenge! Revenge! What was the use of revenge?

Why couldn't she save her elder sister?

Strange—it was strange that she was excessively weak.

She was not only unable to protect her elder sister but also held her back.

Why was she so weak? Wasn't there any way to make her instantly stronger?

Hey! G.o.d! How can I become stronger?

Tell me!

Tell me!

You should just tell me already!

I demand that you tell me! Why don't you understand?

Do you understand it or not?

If you don't understand, then I won't hesitate to be impolite. What is the use of having a G.o.d if G.o.d won't listen to me?!

“Wahahaha, wahahaha, wahahaha.” A burst of maniacal laughter disseminated throughout the lobby, as if it came from a female lunatic, causing the hearts of those who heard her palpitate.

“I—I seem to be a bit strange right now.” Zi Linglong lowered her head and covered her scorching and painful eyes. “But I like this state very much! I like this kind of me! Strongest! Strongest! Strongest! Strongest! Strongest! My powers are the strongest! Wahahaha…”

“I—I may not be myself anymore, but…”

In the sky, a red star was becoming brighter and brighter! It became brighter faster and faster! Faster and faster!
