At the instant that voice rang in the air, the woman shuddered. She turned around swiftly and saw that there was another person in the spot where the boy had been just now.
That person was dressed in white and looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was incredibly handsome, but there was a scar under his eyes, causing his face to look slightly sinister. There was also an ancient look in his eyes that made all those who saw him feel as if they were immersed in the passage of time.
He stood there and looked towards her quietly.
His appearance was quite similar to the boy who had left just now, causing the woman to be slightly dazed at that instant.
The two of them looked at each other, and time trickled by. The room was silent. After a long while, the dazed look on the woman's face disappeared. A smile appeared at the corners of her lips, and a brilliant light shone in her eyes.
"I know it's fake," the woman said softly. She lifted her hand and twirled a lock of her hair. Then, she lifted her right hand, and several rays of dark light immediately charged towards Su Ming like bolts of lightning from a short distance away.
The dark light exuded a freezing chill and closed in on Su Ming in an instant. The woman's attack stunned Su Ming, but an Art of this level was insignificant to him.
He did not dodge. A faint golden light shone on his body, and immediately, banging sounds reverberated in the air. Three locks of hair were gathered in midair before Su Ming, and they shattered one by one.
The woman also stood up at that moment and took a few steps back. With murderous intent and anger in her eyes, she glared at Su Ming.
"Just who are you?!"
"I'm Su Ming." Su Ming cast the woman a glance and suddenly smiled.
"It's impossible for Su Ming to have your level of cultivation." The woman frowned and took a few more steps back.
"This is Southern Swamp Island, and there are powerful warriors protecting it. Even if you're skilled with illusions and somehow managed to learn Su Ming's appearance, this sort of trick is just too shameless!" the woman said coldly.
Su Ming looked at the woman before him, and his smile grew wider. It had been twenty years since they last met, and she had changed quite a lot. She might seem calm, but in truth, all those who could survive the disaster would definitely be incredibly cautious and would not easily believe in others. Even if they heard it with their own ears or saw it with their own eyes, sometimes, there would still be falsehoods.
Clearly, this sort of awareness existed in the woman's mind.
"Then why do you think I changed into someone else's appearance and appeared before you?" Su Ming smiled and took a step forward.
When he took that step forward, the woman immediately retreated, and she looked as if she was about to retreat to the door, but she did not move forward recklessly. Instead, she glared at Su Ming, and the anger in her eyes grew stronger.
"To be able to transform into his appearance, you must know me very well. If you haven't met me a long time ago, then it must be related to Senior Zi Yan." As the woman spoke, she took another step back. However, at the instant her foot landed, the light of a Rune shone on the ground around Su Ming.
That Rune was filled with a fierce presence. In an instant, it started spinning rapidly and turned into nine ice blades that appeared out of nowhere before charging towards Su Ming.
Su Ming walked forward and simply allowed the weapons to close in on him. Once they exploded around him, the building immediately became filled with a freezing chill.
Yet the instant Su Ming took that step forward, another Rune appeared on the ground under his feet. This time, there was not just one Rune, but nine of them surrounded him!
As the light from the Rune shone, the freezing air around him suddenly tumbled backwards. Once it was rapidly absorbed by the Rune, it rushed out swiftly. That freezing air was so thick that it made Su Ming feel as if his flesh and blood were freezing, as if he was about to be frozen in an instant. It was a telling sign of its strength!
Su Ming let out a soft gasp of surprise. Golden light shone on his body, and with one step, he walked straight out of the freezing air. However, the instant he walked out, cracking sounds reverberated in the air behind him, and a gigantic block of ice was formed.
The woman's face was grave at that moment, but her heart was filled with shock. She had prepared this Rune for Yun Lai, and she had prepared it for many years, all so that she could kill him during the final moment!
To everyone else, killing a powerful Berserker in the middle stage of the Berserker Soul Realm was something impossible for a weak woman like her, but she believed that it was not impossible!
However, when she saw the person who had turned into Su Ming avoiding her first two killing Runes without a single scratch on his body, her confidence was shaken. Based on her calculations, while the first two Runes might not be able to kill Yun Lai, they could make him freeze for a moment, allowing her to execute her next attack.
Yet everything that happened at that moment made her heart tremble. Without any hesitation, she lifted her right hand and pointed forward. Immediately, Runes appeared around Su Ming once again. This time, there were 36 of them, and they practically occupied the entire floor of the building. As the freezing air erupted forth with a bang, the woman used the momentum of the freezing air to swiftly retreat until she left the building. She seemed to have calculated the number of steps she took as she retreated, and it was precisely thirteen steps.
The instant she took her thirteenth step, a bump suddenly rose up from the ground under her feet. Once she stepped on it, light spread out from the ground in the courtyard outside the building, causing the area outside the building to turn into a gigantic Rune!
That Rune started rotating with a bang and turned into an endless amount of black flames that surrounded the area. Once they gathered together, they turned into a black fire dragon that charged towards the building.
At the same time, as the freezing air erupted from within the building, it instantly turned into a gigantic block of ice. The instant the fire dragon crashed into that block of ice, cold and heat crashed into each other, and a shocking power was born. A loud bang rang in the air, and that sound should have reverberated in all directions, but strangely enough, it was contained within the mountain and did not spread out.
The building collapsed, the block of ice exploded, and the black flames devoured everything, but the woman did not relax. She retreated once again as the ice building exploded, and as if she had been swept away by the impact, she retreated a hundred something feet away. She lifted her hand, and a jade skull appeared in her palm. She sat down cross-legged and pressed her hands on the skull. A dark light instantly appeared in her eyes.
The instant that dark light appeared in her eyes, the color of the jade skull she pressed on instantly changed from white to black. At the same time, the entire mountain trembled with a loud bang.
Ninety-nine rays of black light shot up from ninety-nine spots on the mountain, and with a powerful presence, they charged towards the place. Each of those ninety-nine rays of black light possessed the power of those in the initial stage of the Bone Sacrifice Realm. As they closed in, the dark light on the skull in the woman's hands shone once again, and the presence of the ninety-nine rays of black light instantly increased exponentially. They possessed the power of those in the middle stage of the Bone Sacrifice Realm, and in an instant, they charged towards the spot where the building had exploded.
Su Ming had just walked out of the collapsing ice with a resigned look on his face, but in an instant, his expression turned grave. The ninety-nine rays of black light did not seem strong to him, but their speed and location had sealed off all the areas where he could dodge.
However, this was not what made Su Ming grave. What made him grave was the sense of danger he felt … coming from the sky!
Almost the instant Su Ming noticed this danger, killing intent appeared in the woman's eyes, and she spat out a single word.
"Su!"
The moment she spat out those words, the setting sun in the sky, the sun that she had been looking at calmly all this while, the sun that she had spent most of her time looking at, the sun that she could never get enough of, suddenly became several times brighter!
The hundreds of spirit stones in the setting sun instantly shattered, and a powerful ray of light shot out once the sun darkened. It shook the world, and a scene that left all the people in Southern Swamp Island dumbfounded happened!
That powerful ray of light seemed to have absorbed all the light from the sun, and with an incredible speed, it charged towards the mountain where the woman was, and towards … Su Ming, who was in the Rune, surrounded by the ninety-nine rays of black light!
A loud bang rang in the air, and the entire mountain trembled. The spot where the building was previously was shrouded in fog, and only a large sunken hole could be seen. The details could not be seen clearly.
This was Han Cang Zi's killing move. Everything she had done previously was to confuse the mind, even the ninety-nine rays of black light!
Perhaps this powerful ray of light would still not be able to kill a Berserker in the middle stage of the Berserker Soul Realm, but the woman clearly had other tricks up her sleeves. At that moment, she started forming seals with her hands, and just as she was about to bite the tip of her tongue, the jade bone under her right hand suddenly shone with a dark light. She instantly disappeared and reappeared a hundred something feet away. No one knew whether it was a coincidence or not, but the spot where she stood was exactly the spot where Su Ming had just walked past.
Su Ming took a step forward from the spot where she had disappeared. There was a wry smile on his face, but when he looked at the woman, his gaze was filled with praise.
He did not expect that the frail woman in the past would be able to set up such a shocking killing trap, even though she was only in the initial stage of the Bone Sacrifice Realm. If a Berserker in the initial stage of the Berserker Soul Realm stepped into this trap, then the slightest carelessness would cause them to be heavily injured. Even a Berserker in the middle stage of the Berserker Soul Realm would have to go through some trouble.
Every single step she took was within her calculations, and everything was linked to each other. Su Ming could even imagine that if he allowed the woman to continue executing her plan, then there was a high possibility that the entire Southern Swamp Island would be used by her, and an unimaginable change would appear.
When Su Ming saw that the woman was still a hundred something feet away from him and still wanted to continue, he moved and closed in on her, but the instant he was about to move forward, the woman gave up on casting her Art. Instead, she brought out a black dagger and placed it on her own neck.
Han Cang Zi glared at Su Ming coldly and said calmly, "If you take one more step, I'll kill myself. There's poison in this dagger!"
"Your level of cultivation has surpassed my expectations. I can't kill you, but since you've turned into his appearance, then you must be trying to capture me alive. If I die, you won't be able to get anything!"
"I'm really Su Ming …" Su Ming laughed bitterly, but before he could finish speaking, the dagger in Han Cang Zi's hand fell to the ground. Tears fell from her eyes as she stared at Su Ming blankly. The aloofness in her eyes turned into gentleness.
"Su Ming … It's really you …" Su Ming saw pictures flashing in her eyes, and within those pictures were Su Ming's memories from the past twenty years!
This was Han Cang Zi's unique Art. As long as someone touched or walked past a place, she would be able to see everything about that person's past.
"Of course it's me. We haven't met for twenty years, and you've left a deep impression on me this time. Aren't you afraid of poisoning yourself to death?" Su Ming laughed bitterly.
"If you're not Su Ming, I'd rather die. If you're Su Ming, then of course you won't let me die." Fang Cang Lan blinked and smiled happily.
