Chapter 5040: The Power to Fight Back“You… you… you killed him? That’s impossible!” The old man exclaimed, unable to believe her words were true.
The middle-aged man and the woman in red both grew solemn. Impossible? If it were impossible, how could those three items be in her possession? How could she have given them away? After all, those three were the Supreme Elder’s most cherished possessions!
In that instant, they finally shed their contempt and dismissiveness, reevaluating this seemingly unremarkable woman in green robes.
To silently eliminate a Supreme Peak-tier powerhouse without a sound—this woman’s strength was terrifying!
“Who exactly are you?” the middle-aged man asked cautiously. In that instant, he suddenly realized that if they handled this wrong, all three of them might well die here tonight!
Yet, a woman possessing such formidable power shouldn’t be someone they’d never heard of.
“I offered your Cheng family a way out,” Feng Jiu said indifferently, her cold eyes fixed on their faces. “But you chose the path of death. Don’t blame me for that. Now that it’s come to this, why don’t you decide how you want to die? I might just grant your wish.”
“You ambushed him, didn’t you? With the Supreme Elder’s cultivation, how could he be killed without a sound in a fair fight? You’re a cowardly ambusher!” The red-clad woman’s voice was dark and venomous. Her hand moved, gripping a long sword. “No matter how strong you are, could you possibly overpower the three of us combined?”
Her gaze was dark and intense. She thought of Cheng Wanli, the disciple she had personally trained, crippled by this woman. She thought of the Supreme Elder, killed by this woman! A murderous intent surged within her heart.
“I will sever the tendons in your hands and feet! I will chop off your hands! I will gouge out your eyes and hang them upside down before the Song family’s gates! I will slice the flesh from your body piece by piece!” Her voice dripped with hatred. As the words fell, she clenched the sharp blade in her hand and lunged toward the azure figure ahead.
Feng Jiu curved her lips into a faint smile, one that didn’t reach her eyes. She didn’t dodge or retreat. Instead, she watched the red-clad woman charge at her with sword raised. Only when the blade’s tip neared her face did she extend her hand and clamp it between her fingers.
The overwhelming pressure and sword energy that had radiated from the blade’s tip—the very essence of a supreme warrior—dissipated naturally before it could touch Feng Jiu. Now, with just two fingers lightly pinching the sword, the red-clad woman could not advance another inch.
“Hmph!”
Gritting her teeth, the red-clad woman intensified her spiritual energy and aura, attempting to thrust the sword forward once more, aiming for the woman’s throat. Yet, the blade refused to advance another inch.
Feng Jiu regarded the crimson-clad woman before her, her voice calm and detached. “Do you know why not a single sound has been made?” Though she held the sharp blade, not a trace of her aura spilled outward.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth, narrowing her eyes as she spoke. “Because he doesn’t even have the strength to fight back.” As the words fell, a powerful aura surged from her, instantly enveloping the woman.
In that instant, the red-clad woman’s heart trembled. She felt an overwhelmingly terrifying pressure engulf her, as if all her strength had been drained in an instant. She froze solid where she stood…
