Her gaze remained fixed on the three blood swords as she searched for a flaw. Yet no matter how carefully she examined them, the swords seemed to form a seamless, flawless whole, and their imposing might only grew more terrifying.

The woman in blue robes could not help but feel secretly alarmed. She had never imagined that Yun Yi, a seemingly insignificant mosquito, would possess such formidable abilities.

She understood that if this continued, she would likely be defeated by Yun Yi’s three blood swords.

Drawing a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down.

She knew that finding a way to counter them was now her top priority. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

With her brows tightly furrowed, her thoughts racing like lightning, the woman in blue robes swiftly searched her mind for a way to break Yun Yi’s bizarre blood swords.

A resolute and intelligent light flickered in her eyes. She refused to submit to these seemingly ordinary yet immensely powerful blood swords.

But Yun Yi’s three blood swords moved as though they were living creatures. They seemed to sense the fluctuations in her heart and discern her intentions, and their assault instantly grew even more ferocious. Like a raging storm, they allowed her not the slightest moment to catch her breath.

Thus, Yun Yi’s three blood swords carved streaks of scarlet through the air, repeatedly colliding and weaving together with the woman’s sword shadows.

Every collision unleashed a surge of spiritual energy. Under the relentless barrage, the number of her sword shadows gradually dwindled, and their radiance slowly dimmed.

Then, at that critical moment, one of the blood swords seemed to catch sight of an opening. It abruptly broke free from the chaos of battle and, carrying a chilling killing intent that made the heart tremble, shot through the sky like an arrow loosed from a bow, racing straight toward the woman’s vital point.

The woman in blue robes had been absorbed in contemplating how to break the blood swords, but this sudden sense of danger instantly dragged her back to reality.

She abruptly raised her eyes. The blood sword was already within arm’s reach, its flowing scarlet radiance seeming to herald the arrival of death.

“Do you really think I can’t deal with you, you miserable mosquito?” the woman shouted angrily. A flash of defiance and fury crossed her eyes. Like a she-eagle driven into a rage, she was ready to spread her wings and fight.

Faced with this sudden trial between life and death, the fighting spirit in her heart blazed to life like a wildfire, impossible to restrain.

“Today, this young lady will show you the power of my Emerald-Phosphor Bone-Eroding Venom Art!” Her voice was filled with icy resolve, as though she intended to freeze the entire world around them.

She lightly pointed a fingertip toward the blood sword that was swooping toward Yun Yi like a wraith. The movement was graceful yet decisive.

In that instant, a streak of eerie green venomous light erupted from her palm. Like a venomous snake suddenly flicking its tongue deep within the mountains, it was swift and deadly.

The venomous light traced a strange arc through the air. The poisonous aura flowing within it resembled ghostly flames from the depths of the abyss, seemingly capable of corroding all things beneath the heavens. Even the air was stained with a frightening green hue.

This was none other than the renowned Emerald-Phosphor Bone-Eroding Venom Art she had painstakingly cultivated for many years. Once unleashed, it meant a battle to the death, with no room for retreat.

A moment later, the venomous light collided violently with the blood sword in midair, producing a clear clang like metal striking metal.

Yun Yi’s heart tightened when he saw this. He had not expected the woman in blue robes to possess such a powerful technique.

He could not help worrying whether the blood sword would be able to withstand the corrosion of that venomous light.

Just as his concern arose, the corrosive poison contained within the eerie green radiance rapidly ate into the blood sword. It emitted a sizzling sound like the whisper of a demon, sending chills through the heart.

“Not good.” Yun Yi cried out inwardly and hurriedly formed hand seals, attempting to make the blood sword counterattack the venomous light.

Yet his efforts seemed futile. The corrosive power of the venomous light was simply too great. Before long, the blood sword dissolved into nothingness beneath the fierce assault and vanished into the air.

In the next instant, the venomous light broke free like a wild horse and shot straight toward Yun Yi.

Seeing this, Yun Yi knew he had fallen into a desperate situation. He swiftly adjusted his body, flitting through the air like a leaf caught in the wind as he tried to evade the deadly venomous light.

But how could the woman’s Emerald-Phosphor Bone-Eroding Venom Art be so easily avoided?

The venomous light changed direction nimbly in midair as though it possessed a will of its own, pursuing Yun Yi relentlessly.

Yun Yi’s movements were as swift as the wind, but beneath the unending assault of the venomous light, he gradually found himself unable to cope. Every evasive maneuver seemed to drain the last of his strength.

Watching wave after wave of eerie green venom surge toward him like an endless tide of poisonous snakes, Yun Yi grew frantic.

What should he do?

He knew that if he could not find a way to break through this predicament soon, he would surely die here.

At this perilous juncture, Yun Yi’s mind raced like a mosquito beating its wings furiously beneath the summer sun, desperately seeking a sliver of hope amid despair.

His gaze swept across his surroundings as he silently considered every possible response. Yet after racking his brains, Yun Yi despairingly realized that he truly seemed to have reached a dead end. He had no ready means of resisting the woman’s Emerald-Phosphor Bone-Eroding Venom Art.

“Am I really going to die here, becoming a mosquito poisoned to death?” His heart was filled with unwillingness and despair.

Yet at that moment, when life and death hung by a thread, the demonic power within his body seemed to sense its master’s peril and began surging uncontrollably.

Yun Yi knew that this was his final hope.

He suddenly drew a deep breath, summoned the remnants of his demonic power, and prepared to make one last desperate struggle.

However, when this demonic power came into contact with the venomous light winding toward him like a serpent, it gradually began to corrode as well. It seemed that it would not be able to hold out for long.

Yun Yi’s heart sank. He understood that he had truly reached the end.

On the other side, seeing that Yun Yi was helpless before her Emerald-Phosphor Bone-Eroding Venom Art, the woman in blue robes curved her lips into a smug smile, as though she could already see the dawn of victory.

“Hahaha, mosquito, you’re finished.” Her words were filled with mockery and contempt.

Then her tone suddenly shifted, and she made a seemingly magnanimous proposal.

“However, if you can understand what this young lady is saying, hand over that spirit fungus now, and I may spare your life.”

A cunning light gleamed in her eyes. She was convinced that the offer would be enough to tempt Yun Yi.

Yun Yi’s heart stirred faintly when he heard the words “spirit fungus.”

He did not know what the fungus could do, but at a moment when his life hung in the balance, he could not afford to overlook even the slightest chance of survival.

Besides, if he died, the spirit fungus would only fall into the woman’s hands and become her spoils of war.

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, Yun Yi produced the precious spirit fungus.

A flash of delight crossed the woman’s eyes. She thought Yun Yi had finally submitted and was preparing to surrender the fungus to her.
