My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 1318 - 1238: Leave the Rest to Me!

A shadowy figure, wrapped in a black aura, appeared in front of Qin Liuxi and her company. Even when she stopped before them, the darkness was unwavering, concealing her features entirely.

"This shadow..." Feng Xiu frowned and stepped forward, saying, "You were the one at Kunlun Mountain last time."

Heartless showed no reaction; her eyes, hidden within the black aura, stared blankly at Qin Liuxi. The black aura surrounding her unfurled like threads.

Qin Liuxi stepped forward and pulled Feng Xiu back, saying, "Don’t let that black aura touch you, it’s poisonous."

The black aura was an Evil Aura, refined from the darkest, most sinister, and vicious places. It’s an Evil Spirit, akin to a ghost, and anyone it touches, can have their darkest, most insane resentments stirred, clouding their mind.

Those who cultivate in such an environment eventually become assimilated by this Evil Aura, losing their sanity, becoming neither human nor ghost, existing only to kill.

And killing is the only way it can bring her peace.

Whether the target is human or ghost, should she kill a Ghost, the resentful energy from any resentful ghosts, Evil Ghosts, or Evil Spirits would surge towards her, at her command. All the world’s darkest energies would be absorbed by her, becoming Evil Aura; once touched, the Evil Aura enters the meridians, harming the vital organs.

Now, the Evil Aura before them melded with her seamlessly, becoming her weapon.

Heartless had become a mindless killing puppet.

Qin Liuxi lowered her eyes.

A memory flashed in her mind, it was of a dying little Wangchuan, barely clinging to life, surrounded by a thick aura of resentment. She was then shocked, how could such a small child harbor such great resentful energy?

Using divination, she foresaw she would become a resentful ghost, slaughtering the people of that village, becoming a ferocious Evil Ghost.

In a moment of inexplicable impulse, she saved the child, but it turns out, she would ultimately become this being that’s neither human nor ghost.

Does she regret it?

No, she just followed her heart.

"You handle the coffin, leave this to me." Feng Xiu had guessed something, stopping Qin Liuxi.

Qin Liuxi shook her head: "The origin and end, all causes and effects begin with me, you cannot get involved. Go open the coffin, awaken the corpse; if you can’t, seal the entire coffin. She’s here, perhaps Si Luo is on his way, or has already arrived, stay alert."

Feng Xiu’s expression slightly tensed.

Heartless moved.

She launched an attack at Qin Liuxi, mobilizing the Evil Aura, transforming it into a ferocious beast, opening a massive maw to devour her.

Qin Liuxi did not move; she, the Fire of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, within the Ten Strange Fires, the most righteous, is the bane of all Yin Evil and dark energies.

This Evil Aura, like a moth to a flame, is courting its own doom.

As expected, the ferocious beast formed by the Evil Aura disintegrated to nothing upon touching her.

But her opponent gathered strength continuously, even drawing all the surrounding dark energies to her use.

This time, Qin Liuxi moved.

With a flick of her sleeve, she scattered the dense black Evil Aura. In a flash, she appeared before Heartless, grasping her slender neck, the icy touch seeped from her hand.

Qin Liuxi also saw her opponent’s appearance clearly, a sharply defined face, pale skin, a pair of eyes astonishing in size, yet filled more with dark than white, devoid of any emotion, only a void of lifelessness.

The Evil Aura on her body coiled into fine threads, continuously boring into Qin Liuxi, finding every possible entry.

Qin Liuxi’s hand trembled slightly.

Missing one soul and two spirits.

Compared to before, when she was whole, now her soul and spirits are incomplete.

Their eyes met, both locking gazes.

Was it Si Luo’s doing?

The Heartless Path, cultivating the Heartless Technique, involves severing all seven emotions and six desires to achieve a state unaffected by emotion, to attain its essence.

Heartless summoned a pair of Butterfly Knives, swiftly stabbing towards Qin Liuxi’s abdomen.

The strike missed.

The Butterfly Knives were shattered by Qin Liuxi’s strong Daoist aura, causing a thin trickle of blood to emerge from Heartless’s lips.

Qin Liuxi looked at her, "Enough."

Heartless, as if deaf, let the Evil Aura surge once more, transforming into sharp swords, enveloping her in a crisscrossing, ominous black net, intending to slice her to pieces.

"I said enough."

Karmic Fire flared in her hand, making Heartless’s body stiffen, those lifeless eyes fixed on Qin Liuxi, without a trace of fear.

Suddenly, Qin Liuxi released her, her body flickering away from the charm erupting from Heartless’s body, a sharp glint in her eyes.
