The Imperial Palace.

　　Su Lin, who was lying in ruins in the rear courtyard, noticed the Left Protector approaching them, and her eyes lit up. She quickly cried out, “Left Protector, hurry, save me!”

　　The Left Protector looked at the pale Su Lin and a sense of loathing flashed in her eyes. However, she did not say too much and turned towards Gu Ruoyun.

　　“Gu Ruoyun, I understand that Su Lin and you have an agreement. She has now lost and must face death according to the terms of the agreement. I should not interfere but…” Her eyes darted back and forth before her lips curled into a sneer. “Has the payment between us been settled?”

　　Based on the information provided by an Underworld spy, the Young Master has just entered the Imperial Palace and would arrive in a short while!

　　Therefore, she could step out to stop Gu Ruoyun at this moment.

　　Patter!

　　A small figure emerged from the crowd like a little white cat and scuttled swiftly into Gu Ruoyun’s arms. It then raised its eyes which were whirling with anger towards the Left Protector.

　　However, the little fellow did not make any further move and only buried itself into Gu Ruoyun’s lapel until only its adorable little head could be seen.

　　The competition has pretty much ended so it could return to its Master’s arms…

　　The little fellow yawned and its little paw rubbed its sleepy eyes as it grew drowsy.

　　“The payment?” Gu Ruoyun gently stroked the little fellow’s soft head as her lips raised into an angle. “I should indeed calculate my bill with the Underworld but before that, I have other matters to take care of.”

　　Once she finished speaking, her chilly eyes landed upon Su Lin. She then gently raised her brow and walked towards her.

　　“Gu Ruoyun, you had defeated me based on luck this time. With your level power, you are simply no match for me. If you’re brave enough, let’s fight one on one without any use of spiritual weapons!”

　　Su Lin saw Gu Ruoyun who was walking towards her and her expression changed. She gritted her teeth as she spoke.

　　“Are you sure?”

　　Gu Ruoyun raised her brow and asked with a forced smile.

　　Su Lin had assumed that she would have some wiggle room to act sweet and agreeable when she saw the look on Gu Ruoyun’s face. Her heart leaped with joy. “That’s right, we’ll put down our weapons and have hand-to-hand combat. If I lose, I will kill myself in front of you!”

　　Gu Ruoyun thought for a moment before she nodded, “Alright.”

　　Hearing this, Su Lin smiled. However, she was cursing Gu Ruoyun in her heart.

　　This idiot had merely utilized external forces to defeat me. Without that spiritual weapon, she will be of no match for me.

　　Even though I’m heavily injured at the moment, I can still snap her head off!

　　However, before Su Lin’s smile could grow any bigger, her body suddenly stiffened!

　　Gu Ruoyun had opened her palms and the Nine Underworld Flames and the Flames of World Devastation were both emitting a scorching heat in her hands. The two flames then rose from her hands and turned into two fiery dragons intertwining in the sky…

　　Slam!

　　Su Lin did not even have the time to cry for help as the two fiery dragons slammed forcefully into her soul, releasing a heart-wrenching cry.

　　The two flames then disappeared after slamming into Su Lin’s body. The crowd thought that Su Lin possesses some sort of treasure which had neutralized the attack but what they did not expect was for Su Lin to roll around on the ground in agony after the two flames had vanished. She continued to shriek sharply and sent shivers down the crowds’ spine.
