23 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment
# Chapter 7: I Want to See Her Smile! The Senior Disciple Gives Up on Treatment To her surprise, even when her meridians and dantian completely opened up, ready to absorb a massive influx of spiritual energy, Jiang Jing still hadn't launched a further attack. "?" Was Jiang Jing overwhelmed by her "dominant aura," or was he secretly plotting something himself? Bai Lian was perplexed. But this wasn't a huge problem for her. She excelled at giving up on thinking when she couldn't figure something out! No matter the winds from east, west, north, or south, she just needed to focus on her own path. Logically speaking, Bai Lian didn't need to engage in a duel with Jiang Jing. After all, her goal wasn't to kill him, but rather to bring the Lord of the Underworld back. She just needed to seize the opportunity to snatch the Lord and make a quick escape. However, the critical issue lay in the fact that her actual cultivation level was several tiers below Jiang Jing’s. Planning to escape? It wasn't that simple. Once Jiang Jing caught up to her, she would still have to rely on devouring low-grade celestial spirit stones to contend with him. This brought another problem. At that point, Jiang Jing would undoubtedly realize she had been bluffing all along. If Jiang Jing chose to confront her head-on, she might still have some chance of victory. But if he decided to lay low and avoid confrontation, he wouldn’t have to wait long. As soon as the power of the spirit stone depleted naturally, he could easily capture her. The thought of that scenario was terrifying. Bai Lian could tell Jiang Jing bore deep-seated hatred toward the Witch Queen. For some reason, Jiang Jing had mistaken her for the Witch Queen. All things considered, if she fell into Jiang Jing's hands in this situation, it might just be like those infamous villain lines: "You'll wish for life in death." Mental torture~ Physical humiliation~ Crushing of her will~ Bai Lian immediately envisioned dozens of scenarios even more sinister than the "humiliation" scenes from "War of the Gods." My goodness. If this were to be rated, not even 18+ would suffice; 21+ might be more appropriate. So clearly, running away wasn't an option. After experiencing many things, Bai Lian understood how much of an impact aura had on a battle. Strengthen yourself, weaken your opponent. As long as she didn't reveal any flaws, she was the undisputed queen before she took action! That’s the point. Bai Lian needed to continue amplifying her aura. Amplify it until it could shake this palace. Amplify it until it could cause galaxies to tremble. Amplify it until it could shatter the celestial mountains before her! At this moment. Bai Lian's right eye, which looked at Jiang Jing, suddenly burst forth with dazzling silver light. Special effects, all activated! Illusory True Eye, arise! In an instant, her blue eyes, akin to a starry sky, seemed to split into two. In only a moment, the two pupils, once largely overlapping, scattered into a myriad of starlight. Among them, the most brilliant was the star at the corner of Bai Lian's eye. Accompanying this magnificent and astonishing display was a giant star-and-moon disc unfurling behind her. Those stars weren't ordinary stars. That moon wasn't an ordinary moon. They seemed to be trinkets Bai Lian had personally plucked from the nine heavens. They slowly revolved along the trajectory of the star disc. One breath. One day. One year. One era. Overlooking eternity, accustomed to life and death! "Hiss—" Jiang Jing inhaled sharply. He had heard countless times that Bai Lian's movements during a battle could shake the galaxies.
