1345 Written on Her Face

At this moment, Xue Fanxin was dealing with the poison arrays and mechanism arrays on the stairs with all her might. She dodged the increasing number of poisonous balloons and arrows, and her body was more or less injured. She had been infected by the poisonous gas emitted by the poisonous balloons and had been scratched in many places by the arrows. Even her beautiful face had been scratched by the arrows.

Because the poisonous arrays and mechanism arrays were endless, the number of poisonous balloons and arrows increased. Xue Fanxin did not even have time to take pills now, so she had no time to care about her injuries. She ran forward with all her might, dodging the attacks of all kinds of poisonous balloons and arrows.

Far away in the Nine Nether Holy Land, Ye Jiushang saw that Xue Fanxin was covered in injuries of all sizes. His heart ached, and his face was dark. He suddenly regretted and blamed himself.

Was it wrong to let Seventh Senior Brother activate the Cloud Ascension Stairs?

Should he not have placed Xin’er in such a dangerous situation?

“Little Nine, you can’t blame me for this. You were the one who wanted me to open the Cloud Ascension Stairs. However, it’s already a miracle that this girl can rely on her Mystic King Realm cultivation to climb above the 70th step. Perhaps she can really pass the 99th step. Don’t forget that she’s wearing the Feather Spirit Divine Robe and can block an attack from a Deity Realm expert. Coupled with the Xue You Sword in her hand, the Seven Arts Bracelet, and the half-awakened intrinsic guardian divine beast in her body, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to pass the 99th step. She just has to suffer a little. You want this girl to become stronger, but you don’t want her to suffer. How can there be such a good thing in the world?”

“Did I say that I blamed you?” Ye Jiushang retorted coldly.

Zhu Qiye said bitterly, “You didn’t say that you blame me, but the expression on your face says that you blame me. This girl’s talent is as heaven-defying as yours. She is also the Phoenix Star and has countless treasures on her. She is destined not to be an ordinary person. She has her path to walk and her Dao to barge into, so you can’t protect her too well, or you will only harm her.”

His master had said that Little Nine’s marriage was extraordinary. Although he did not think that girl was extraordinary yet, he believed his master’s prophecy and Little Nine’s taste.

Hence, next, he just had to watch that girl become stronger step by step. That process would definitely be very exciting.

Just as Ye Jiushang and Zhu Qiye were talking, Xue Fanxin had already run to the 90th step. All her spirit energy and stamina had almost been exhausted. Her entire body was covered in injuries of all sizes. The poisonous gas had infected her entire body. If she did not deal with it now, the consequences would be very serious.

Fortunately, the 90th step was no longer filled with poisonous arrays and mechanism arrays, nor were there poisonous gas bullets and arrows, nor was there any resistance or gravity. There was only an indescribable pressure, as if a voice kept saying in her ear, Give up, give up, give up…

Xue Fanxin ignored the voices and lay on the ground to rest. After catching her breath, she took out a pill and consumed it, then treated her injuries briefly.

But at this moment, a white figure floated in front of her. That person was like a female ghost. Her hair was disheveled and her face was pale. There was even blood at the corners of her eyes. She looked really terrifying.

The woman flew in front of Xue Fanxin and said very sinisterly, “Don’t go any further. You’ll die. You’ll die very, very miserably, just like me. The Cloud Ascension Ladder is actually a lie. Those who reach the top will die, they’ll die very, very miserably…”

“It’s not too late for you to turn back now. Otherwise…”

“So noisy,” Xue Fanxin roared in frustration. The Xue You Sword suddenly appeared in her hand, and then the flying sword shot out and killed the woman.

“Ah…”

A terrifying and tragic cry spread throughout the entire secret realm.
