Chapter 297: Xue Sha’s Love

Ye Feng’s scarlet eyes followed the woman’s movements. She gave him a strange feeling—strangely unfamiliar, yet accompanied by an eerie sense of disgust.
After a bloody massacre, Ye Feng had regained some clarity of mind. Instead of attacking the moment she appeared, he chose to observe quietly.
“I never expected that someone would risk everything just to tell me the secrets of my realm for you!” the woman said softly with a smile. Seeing a flicker of struggle in Ye Feng’s eyes, she added mockingly, “I’m Xue Sha. This is my true appearance. To deal with you, who’s been corrupted by evil, I couldn’t afford to be careless. Breaking the seal was a last resort—I’m sure the First Demon Emperor will understand.”
“Kill!” Two fierce glows erupted from Ye Feng’s eyes. Before his voice could be heard, he vanished.
Now that Ye Feng had been corrupted by evil, even Xue Sha dared not take him lightly.
With just one strike, she was forced to retreat three steps, leaving deep footprints on the ground.
“Interesting. I haven’t encountered someone like you in ages. I’ll have some fun with you!” Xue Sha looked at Ye Feng with delight rather than fear.
“Not even in the Demon Realm can anyone give me a proper fight! Even though I’ve suppressed my cultivation to the late Xuan Demon stage, those so-called Absolute Demon-level beings are still far inferior.” Xue Sha unreservedly displayed her strength. “I don’t know how you suddenly reached the peak of Absolute Demon cultivation, but I admit—you’re strong. Yet, you can’t win against me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the scattered corpses on the ground began to move slowly.
“Let me show you the power of my realm.” Xue Sha smirked cruelly. “This is my strongest move.”
Ye Feng watched grimly as the corpses rose from the ground. All of them had transformed, their faces now identical to Xue Sha’s.
“This space has an assimilation effect!” Xue Sha explained slowly. “Everyone you kill will become my clones, possessing 100% of my cultivation and strength. They can use all my techniques and share my combat awareness.”
“But I don’t plan to use this move against you.” Xue Sha paused briefly. “I’ll use this move on you—Fusion!”

As Xuesha’s words faded, those creatures that had taken on her appearance turned into specks of light and merged into her own body.
“This fusion technique could be used a million years ago in the Snowflakes Realm. My realm is connected to the Netherworld, which I discovered by chance. It was this technique that inspired me to develop the Blood Killing Realm. With assimilation, the power of my fusion increases dramatically.”
“There are probably over thirty people here,” Xuesha said with a smile. “After the fusion is complete, my strength will increase by more than thirty times.”
“This technique is a nightmare for those who have committed atrocities. That’s why, even when I was just at the beginning stage of becoming a Demon Slayer millions of years ago, I was able to defeat the strongest demons in the Demon Realm.” Xuesha smiled.
“During my battle with the First Demon Emperor, I used this ultimate technique. Unfortunately, I still lost.” A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes as she spoke of it.
“Because he had never taken a single life. No one came after the passage opened. I was utterly defeated in that battle.” Xuesha slowly lowered her head. “It was because of this that I fell in love with that man. To me, he was like a lotus flower blooming in the mud—pure and untainted. I was willing to destroy everything in the world for him, ensuring his hands never touched blood. Even if I had to be reborn as an insect in the next life due to my heavy sins, I wouldn’t mind. He was the last pure sky in my heart…”
“Even if I tell you these things, you can’t hear them anymore, because your mind has been invaded by demons, and you’ve become a monster, completely losing your sanity.” Xuesha looked at Ye Feng with a hint of pity.
As those specks of light disappeared, Xuesha’s black bodysuit transformed into a silver armor, and a pair of huge black wings emerged on her back.
Those black wings flapped slowly, lifting her body into the air. Her immense power radiated instantly, cleansing the entire realm in just a few breaths.
Ye Feng was blown away. He managed to stabilize himself barely and looked warily at Xuesha, who was flapping her wings in the sky.
“Kill!” It seemed the only words Ye Feng could utter now were those filled with primal desire. As soon as his voice faded, he disappeared again.
“Too slow!” Without even moving, Xuesha simply flapped her wings forcefully, hitting Ye Feng and sending him flying backward.

“Boom… boom…” A deep pit several tens of thousands of meters in diameter was created on the ground. The originally flat surface turned into a mess of rubble the moment Ye Feng fell, scattering in all directions.
After a brief silence, a figure shot out of the pit and floated in the sky at the same height as Xue Sha—it was Ye Feng.
He frantically wiped the blood dripping from his mouth with his arm, his eyes growing even more blood-red and frenzied.
“It seems that attack wasn’t enough!” Xue Sha said softly with a smile.
“Kill!” Ye Feng’s figure disappeared again.
“I told you, your movements are too slow!” Xue Sha covered her mouth and shook her head. Her wing flared violently once more, sending another figure flying.
At that moment, Xue Sha let out a surprised exclamation, “Huh?”
Several black figures’ fists hit her at the same time.
Xue Sha still shook her head and chuckled. “So that one was just an illusionary clone. To evolve into this form and still possess such strong combat awareness—quite impressive. But… attacks of this level really have no effect on me!”
As soon as she finished speaking, her wings flapped violently, sending four figures flying at once.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom…”
“Four physical clones—your clone technique is quite good!” Before Xue Sha could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, smiling viciously at her. She remembered that move clearly—it was the one that had broken through her attacks of Snow Tide and Blizzard.
Xue Sha’s expression froze for a moment. The punch reached her body instantly, and an overwhelming force invaded her. Her figure traced a beautiful silver arc through the air before falling to the ground.
“Boom…” The entire area where Xue Sha’s back touched the ground collapsed instantly, turning into dust and disappearing.
That massive pit was likely hundreds of kilometers in diameter, with an unimaginable depth. Such a single attack had created an enormous crater.
Ye Feng floated in the air expressionlessly, watching the pit quietly, as if patiently waiting for something.
Before long, a strange sound came from the pit. It sounded like the vibration of air caused by a giant bird flapping its wings, but at a very slow frequency.
At that time, Xue Sha’s figure slowly rose from above the pit. Her wings were severely damaged but were recovering at a visible speed.

“As expected of Ye Feng!” Xue Sha spat out a mouthful of blood-red saliva, a hint of excitement in her smile. “It’s a pity, but I can divert your attacks to those souls I’ve merged with. That last strike destroyed several of them. To kill me, you’d have to deliver ten such attacks in a row!”
“I never expected to misjudge you. You actually created five physical clones while keeping your true form hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. At such a young age, to possess such combat awareness—you’re truly a genius,” Xue Sha said with a smile. “But it’s not enough yet…”
“Just lose to me!” Xue Sha suddenly roared, her black wings behind her slowly transforming into strands of sharp black thorns.
Dozens of thorns, like living things, rushed toward Ye Feng’s direction and pierced through his body in an instant, sending jets of blood flying.
“Huh?” Xue Sha let out a surprised sound, but quickly resolved herself. “It was so easy to catch you. I thought it would take more effort. Apparently, that last move left you temporarily exhausted. Well then, let’s end this fight here!”
As she spoke, Xue Sha stepped forward toward Ye Feng.
Ye Feng’s chest heaved violently. Xue Sha’s attacks had indeed avoided all his vital points, but the pain from the pierced body wasn’t something that could be ignored so easily. The temporary exhaustion from using that punch even overwhelmed Ye Feng, who was already demonized.
Xue Sha’s attacks were incredibly fast, and he didn’t even have time to dodge properly before being pierced by dozens of thorn-like wings.
“Once hit by this move, you can’t turn things around anymore. This game is over…” Xue Sha slowly approached Ye Feng. Ye Feng tried to fight back but felt utterly powerless.
“There’s no need to use your internal energy. All of it will be absorbed by my wings,” Xue Sha said as she placed a hand on Ye Feng’s cheek. “Only now do I realize you’re a handsome guy on par with the First Demon Emperor.”
“Come back to the Demon Realm with me, handsome guy…” As soon as Xue Sha finished speaking, Ye Feng’s vision went black, and he fainted…
