The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the silver light that was pouring down illuminated Shen Lang's facial features even more clearly.

Empress Ning looked at Shen Lang and a hoarse and intermittent laughter echoed in her throat. "Shen Lang, do you really want to avenge Shen Ronglian, or do you just want to console yourself a little so that you can sleep peacefully at night?"

Shen Lang held the nameless sword and coldly stared at Empress Ning's face. "What I think has nothing to do with you. You will be dead soon, and saying more won't make a difference."

Empress Ning met Shen Lang's gaze without any sign of weakness.

She grabbed Bai Zhu's shoulder and laughed until her whole body shook. "Yes, you're right. I'm dying soon. But even if I'm dead, it's still better than you, Shen Lang, living happily."

"Why didn't Shen Ronglian leave with you back then? It was because your ability was limited, and you were being chased by your enemies from the past. Even self-preservation was a problem for you."

"Yes, you doted on your sister, even giving her your own name, and were willing to let her become the first disciple of Tianya Sect...but what was the use of all that? She didn't want to burden you, and you couldn't save her. In the end, it was because you were powerless. You couldn't protect Shen Jia, you couldn't protect Shen Ronglian, you couldn't do anything!"

"Shut up!" Shen Lang tightened his grip on the nameless sword, almost roaring in anger. "You poisonous woman! You harmed my sister and ruined Yao Country. Even if I chop you into a thousand pieces today, I still can't relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Xiao Jin couldn't believe that Empress Ning, who seemed to be on the brink of death, could still confront Shen Lang for so long.

As expected, before the villain died, there were countless things to do and countless words to say.

Thinking this way, Xiao Jin's fingers quietly moved to her waist and touched the cold metal texture.

On the other side, Shen Lang was provoked by Empress Ning and no longer had the same cold attitude as before. He raised his sword and thrust it towards Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu was skilled in tracking and lurking, but he was far behind Shen Lang in swordsmanship.

However, Bai Zhu knew that Xiao Jin was determined to protect Empress Ning's life today.

Although he wasn't clear about the specific reason, his master had given the order, so he had to put down Empress Ning and engage in a fight.

But after exchanging a few moves, their sword blades clashed, and Bai Zhu was at a disadvantage.

Shen Lang had no intention of engaging in a prolonged battle with Bai Zhu and attacked relentlessly without showing any mercy.

"Clang!"

The sword blades clashed once again.

However, Bai Zhu did not catch Shen Lang's next strike.

Sweat dripped from his forehead and a sharp pain cut into his arm as the skin was sliced open by Shen Lang's sword, leaving a deep and long gash.

He couldn't help but grunt and quickly stepped back, but Shen Lang's attacks did not retreat.

Shen Lang was determined to defeat Bai Zhu and kill Empress Ning, and his strikes became more fierce and unrelenting.

As Bai Zhu's clothes were soaked in blood and his face turned pale with fear, he was pushed towards the cliff's edge.

However, Xiao Jin remained motionless throughout the entire fight.
