The four maids bowed towards Huang Shihu and then left.

“Haha!” Huang Shihu raised his head and laughed. Instantly, he reached for Yao Yue and pulled her into an embrace before walking towards the bed.

Ta. Ta. Ta.

One step at a time, they approached the bed. Ye Mo’s heart started beating faster as he witnessed the scene unfolding. Yao Yue was hugging Huang Shihu’s neck. A trace of frost slowly covered her smiling face.

Then, she took off her hairpin. This hairpin was forged with a rare ore that was able to constrain Yuanli to a certain extent, enabling it hairpin to pierce through the layer of Yuanli a warrior usually had protecting his body.

“Die!” Yao Yue clenched tightly on the hairpin and abruptly stabbed at Huang Shihu’s chest with it. If this stab was landed successfully, even a True Energy Realm genuis would be seriously injured.

However, a huge hand suddenly stopped Yao Yue’s hand.

“Trying to kill me?” Fury filled Huang Shihu’s face as he spoke coldly.

Yao Yue remained silent. An intense cold energy burst out from within her and spread around her, causing the entire pavilion to be enveloped by a layer of ice. The ice was also starting to cover Huang Shihu’s hand as well.

“Pure ice?” Huang Shihu cried out in alarm as he immediately tossed Yao Yue aside. He started channeling his Yuanli to dissolve the ice wrapped around his hand.

“How have you found out about me?” Yao Yue asked in astonishment with a frown.

“Recently, many people in Heaven’s Wall City have been assassinated. Since that’s the case, it is only natural that I have my guard up as well. That applies even when dealing with a woman,” Huang Shihu sneered and continued, “Who are you? Why are you trying to assassinate me?”

“There are many who want you to die anyway.”

Then, Yao Yue turned her hand around and the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag flew out of her sleeve. The Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag and Soul Suppression Bone Flute were both small weapons that could be hidden within one’s sleeves. Although the Holy Snow Sword was very powerful, it was rather inconvenient to carry around.

“Whoever you are, since you dare to assassinate me, your life is over. However, I won’t let you die so easily,” Huang Shihu said as a perverted look appeared on his face. He swallowed and waved his hand.

Numerous blood blades appeared out of thin air and shot out. Yao Yue brandished the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag around to form a wall of flags. Above the flags, insignias of human skeletons were imprinted. The insignias were emanating Evil Energy that were entwined around the flags.

The blood blades all dispersed when they landed on the flags. Huang Shihu cried out in alarm. He had never expected Yao Yue to be able to block his attack.

“Interesting. Let’s see how you deal with this.”

He then formed a huge crimson Meteor Hammer in his hand and slammed it down. Space itself was broken apart by the hammer as an intense crimson radiance filled the air. With an imposing momentum, the hammer shot towards Yao Yue like an artillery shell.

Once again, Yao Yue waved the Bloodsoul Skeleton Flag. Numerous flags flew out to form an impenetrable wall. Before the Meteor Hammer, the wall of flags was like a piece of paper. The hammer instantly tore it apart. Yao Yue’s pupils shrank as she immediately protected her chest with the flag.

Bang!

The hammer attack landed on Yao Yue’s body. She was immediately flung backward. She crashed into the wall.

“A puny Energy Shaping Ninth Realm dreams of killing me? This is a suicide mission!” Huang Shihu shouted and pounced on Yao Yue with his arms outstretched.

Suddenly, a long sword appeared in Yao Yue’s hand. She activated her sword technique and immediately, numerous snowflakes appeared in front Yao Yue and formed a huge “kill” symbol that sank into her body. Her hair started whipping around as she fused with the Will of Killing Frost.

She waved her sword and a ray of sword lights swept out with a rumbling sound. Countless frost sword lights shot out and before Huang Shihu could even approach Yao Yue, his entire body turned into an ice statue. Then, a rain of sword lights landed on the ice statue.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Huang Shihu was flung backwards. This attack contained the wills of both killing and frost and was extremely powerful. Even if Huang Shihu was someone at the True Energy Realm, he still couldn’t block this attack.

While flying backwards, Huang Shihu shook his body. Then, numerous rays of blood light warped around him before shattering the ice around his body. He immediately stabilized himself while a huge pair of crimson wings unfurled behind him.

A trail of blood was flowing down from his lips, yet a cold smile was hanging on his face.

“Interesting.”

Huang Shihu wiped the blood off and coldly said, “Two wills in a single attack and even freezing a True Energy Realm powerhouse like me. Any Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors would die after being hit by this attack. Unfortunately for you, you have chosen the wrong target to assassinate this time.”

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Yao Yue’s eyes turned blue as she suddenly waved her sword. Her entire presence changed, becoming incomparably cold, like a snow lady from the frozen fields. The air around her was filled with frost.

A snowstorm started falling in the pavilion.Then, Yao Yue completely vanished, as if her entire being had fused with the snowstorm. She attacked with her sword again, an attack that made Huang Shihu feel like even his mind was going to be frozen, as if he could no longer do anything and could only stand there to be slaughtered by Yao Yue as she wished.

In this attack of hers, a new will was added on top of it. Now, she had three wills merged into her attack, the wills of killing, frost, and concealment.

Ye Mo was shocked by this attack. He had initially thought that his grasp over the wills was very powerful, but he only had a single will under his control, the will of killing. As for Yao Yue, she had three wills contained within her sword technique. She was far ahead of him.

Her attack was incomparable. An attack with three wills was absolutely capable of drowning one’s opponent in the wills, causing one to lose control over one’s mind.

Suddenly, a crimson energy armor appeared around Huang Shihu’s body. At the same time, he slammed his hammer out.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Yao Yue’s sword clashed with the Meteor Hammer. The backlash of the collision was like a storm of over 100 sword lights shooting out everywhere. Yao Yue actually blocked Huang Shihu’s hammer attack. After countering the hammer, the sharp sword stabbed into Huang Shihu’s armor.

However, the crimson armor was incomparably sturdy. The sharp sword with three wills melded into it but could only leave a tiny mark on the armor.

“Powerful. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful your sword technique is, you won’t be able to injure me. The difference between Energy Shaping Realm and True Energy Realm will forever be insurmountable,” Huang Shihu shouted and, grabbing Yao Yue’s sword, twisted the sword around, turning it into scrap iron. Next, he sent his palm out towards Yao Yue.

Bang!

Yao Yue was flung away, and she crashed on the ground. Her face was extremely pale and her presence turned incredibly weak.

“The blade of the Martial Faction can be blunted after all,” Yao Yue muttered to herself, falling into utter despair as she looked at Huang Shihu slowly walking towards her.

“Haha, looks like you are out of tricks. Now, time for me to enjoy myself.” Huang Shihu withdrew his Yuanli, walked towards Yao Yue, and pounced on her.

“Now! Will of the Chu Killing Spear!” Ye Mo’s face turn solemn as he descended from above. His spear shone brightly and noiselessly stabbed into Huang Shihu’s back. Blood splattered around.

A furious roar thundered. A roar of pain, fury, and astonishment reverberated throughout the pavilion.

“B*stard!”
