Chapters 2981-2988 Spectre Canyon 4

2981 Furious at embarrassing himself in front of SL, and wanting to prove he’s now strong enough to protect her, YQ starts to decimate the tigers. Realizing his thoughts, NL warns SL the fleeing Demonic Clan members might have noticed their group, causing her to fear for ZiY and BY’s safety. Seeing the two figures disappear, YQ rages, unleashing the Demon Lord’s forbidden technique, causing the sky to darken. Feeling the cold breeze and killing intent, the Empress starts to back away as YQ decimates the tigers. SL and NL rush back to their group, as the Demonic Clan flees towards them. Since the group’s individual strength is higher, they lie in wait for the Demonic Clan, before bursting out of the ground.

2982 Chased by the tigers, the Demonic Clan is shocked by the ambush, as Crafty Thorn and Purgatory City elders mercilessly slay them. While NL merely watches on, SL rushes to join her friends. Since the little dragon is still cultivating, SL uses her Goddess Sword Technique, slaying more opponents with each move as her figure is bathed in a divine light. 4 Demonic Clan elders wink to each other as they surround her.

2983 NL had been watching SL, waiting to jump in at the first sign of danger. Immersed in her technique, SL lightly dances around, as the moves draw forth evil energy. ZiY attempts to warn SL when the elders pull out their dagger. However SL’s 5 sense are closed off, and ignores her attempts, when SL pierces one of the approaching elders through the chest, before fluttering as she uses the same move on the second. While her strength had been similar to the elders, the elders can’t compare when she uses the GST.

2984 As the remaining 2 elders turn to run, SL taunts them before stabbing through the 3rd elder’s head. Facing the last expert, SL doesn’t even use her sword and punches him. Furious at being looked down on, the elder avoids the attack, only for SL to slice his neck with the YH dagger hidden in her right sleeve. The elder sneers at how unimpressive the dagger seems, but only SL knows that the dagger is linked with her, and its quality improves as her strength rises.

2985 Her GST is even better with the YH dagger, a secret she keeps as a trump card. The elder is still sneering, when he notices the blood spraying from his neck, as the wound continues to expand. SL hears a strange noise, when the elder charges towards her, only for his head to roll off. SL is shocked her YH dagger is so powerful, while the Demonic Clan trembles in fear, and even the elders and friends in her group are stunned SL could remove 4 elders so easily. NL had wanted to praise her, when he senses a presence.

2986 Sensing another wave of magical beasts even stronger than the tigers, NL realizes why LXE was so cautious towards the Canyon, yelling for them to retreat. Realizing NL isn’t leaving, SL tries to grab him, when he throws her towards ZL. Too weak to help, SL reluctantly leaves. A little while later, YQ and the Empress appear. Having met NL in Western Jin, YQ immediately recognizes him, though both achieved immeasurable growth since. Looking at them staring at each other, the Empress realizes LY is NL.

2987 The Empress asks if he’s CZ’s favourite disciple, NL, and he smirks, taking off his mask, revealing a perfect face that even causes the Empress to gape. The Empress rages at how brazen he is for infiltrating Crafty Thorn, but NL was only concerned with the kill order on SL, and willing to oppose anyone who’d try to harm her, sending an oppressive force towards the Empress. Empress trembles, shocked at how much stronger he is. YQ watches from the side, realizing that a man so irresistible to women is also obsessed with SL. Empress turns to YQ, asking whether he also sees SL as his, causing the 2 equally handsome and talented men to glare at each other in a standoff.

2988 The Empress is delighted, since whoever won would still be too exhausted to face her. YQ coldly turns towards her, as NL asks if she wants to use the opportunity to sneak off and finish SL, playing on YQ’s obsession. Since YQ had planted a virus when he saved her, the Empress is at his mercy, when she reminds him SL won’t love him as long as NL lives, and that they should team up to remove him, laughing that SL would’ve slept with him after being together for so long. Seeing the mockery in NL’s eyes, YQ is overcome with jealousy, when he senses the approaching beasts and calls for a truce, not wanting to endanger SL.
