C41 In a Life and Death Situation!

"Don't you dare!" Meng Zhuyun cried out in a delicate yet forceful voice.

With a swift motion, Meng Zhuyun brandished her long sword, creating a whirlwind of sword qi that enveloped her. This sword qi carried with it a sense of grandeur, and as it met the surrounding bloody mist, it snuffed it out like flames doused by cold water, vanishing in an instant.

However, this was merely a temporary fix.

The Cardioverter had claimed countless lives. Gazing into the abyss from a distance, he unleashed a torrent of bloody Qi.

Exhausted from fending off the dragon-pulse's formation, Meng Zhuyun was now stretched thin, having to divert additional Spiritual Energy to ward off the encroaching blood mist. She was struggling to cope.

Cardioverter's laughter boomed, "Meng Zhuyun, you claim to be a Minor Cycle Qi Practitioner, don't you? If you're so capable, come out and kill me!"

He was convinced that Meng Zhuyun wouldn't dare to challenge the formation.

Indeed, Meng Zhuyun was unable to break through. The dragon-pulse was powerful enough to subdue beings from an entire mortal realm, and even if she could shatter the formation, her Spiritual Energy would be depleted, leaving her defenseless against Cardioverter's onslaught.

"I should have known better than to confront such a sly demon," she lamented inwardly.

Meng Zhuyun felt a surge of bitterness. She had overestimated her advantage, believing she could easily subdue Cardioverter, who was a realm below her. Yet, she had been outsmarted.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, she could only struggle to keep her Spiritual Energy flowing, rapidly strategizing her next move.

"Do you really think you can escape?" Cardioverter taunted, sensing her desperation and intensifying the blood mist.

The blood fog around Meng Zhuyun thickened, colliding with her sword qi and making a sizzling sound.

Meng Zhuyun lifted her head, her disheveled hair framing her face in a disarray, the image of distress.

Locking eyes with Cardioverter, she challenged him, "If you kill me, do you think you can withstand the wrath of my father?"

Cardioverter's confidence wavered, and he fell into a sudden silence.

Meng Zhuyun's father was none other than Meng Xuanzhou, the esteemed founder of the Profound Zhou Academy. His influence was formidable, even throughout the Middle Land.

Meng Xuanzhou was rumored to possess strength that had reached an unfathomable level, and his hatred for evil ran deep. Countless Demonic Cultivators had met their end at his hands.

Cardioverter shuddered, then abruptly lifted his head, his lips curling into a scornful smirk. "Do you take me for a fool? Even if I spare you, do you really think Meng Xuanzhou would show me mercy?"

Suddenly, an idea struck Cardioverter, and he began to brazenly appraise Meng Zhuyun's elegant figure.

"They say Meng Xuanzhou values his reputation above all else. Tell me, if a Demonic Cultivator were to impregnate his daughter, would he seek vengeance with great fanfare, or would he suffer in silence?" A vile grin spread across Cardioverter's face.

What!?

Meng Zhuyun was in disbelief, her ears ringing with shock.

Her heart pounded furiously.

She was certain that Cardioverter was capable of such an atrocity!

After all, he was the infamous murderer who had been on Middle Land's most-wanted list for years, with a litany of heinous deeds to his name.

"In your dreams," Meng Zhuyun retorted icily. "I sent word to my sect before I entered this cave. If you don't leave now, soon you might find escape impossible!"

Cardioverter paused, then burst into laughter. "You think I don't know you, Meng Zhuyun? The esteemed daughter of the Profound Zhou Academy, too proud to ask for help from your sect? Ridiculous!"

Meng Zhuyun clenched her teeth, frustration mounting. This Cardioverter was far too cunning; her ploys were utterly futile against him.

"Let your sect members come. I'll slay them just the same!" Cardioverter boasted with unchecked arrogance.

Bang!

At that instant, a massive boulder hurtled out from within the cave, heading straight for Cardioverter with deadly intent.
