"What the hell are you closing your eyes?" The so-called queen shouted.


    "What else am I supposed to do then?" Yang Wei scoffed as he ced his hand behind his head. "You''re stronger than me and I have no other tricks left to defend myself."


    "What''s your name, boy?" She suddenly asked.


    "Yang Wei."


    The so-called queen turned ferocious as she nodded her head. "Then remember this well, my name is Zhu Wenqian. The queen of the Saint Race."


    Zhu Wenqian then raised her eyes as she emitted a wave of spiritual qi around her finger.


    Meanwhile, Yang Wei suddenly narrowed his gaze as he attacked Zhu Wenqian.


    "Ster Soul!"


    Yang Wei decided to go for a soul attack since physical attacks seemed ineffective against her.


    With a loud explosion, Zhu Wenqian was caught off-guard by Yang Wei''s sneak attack as she was sent flying.


    Her face was pale when she realized her soul was being churned by some mysterious force.


    "What the heck did you do to me?" Zhu Wenqian screamed in agony as she exuded a cold aura.


    The surrounding trees exploded into multiple specks of dust. Zhu Wenqian gnashed her teeth as she wished to grind Yang Wei''s meat for sneak attacking her.


    She was going to kill him with his dignity intact but after what Yang Wei had done, Zhu Wenqian swore to give him the slow and gruesome death.


    "Yang Wei, you''re dead." Zhu Wenqian subsidized the churning of her soul with a bit of spiritual qi as she lifted her head up.


    Her expression was dumbfounded when she realized Yang Wei was nowhere to be seen.


    "Damn it. He dared to escape after harming this queen?" Zhu Wenqian cursed in a rage as she flicked out multiple spiritual qi in her surroundings.


    Multiple trees, magical beasts, and anything within the vicinity of her range of attack was killed in a matter of split seconds.


    Meanwhile, Yang Wei had escaped far away from Zhu Wenqian when he used the Ster Soul technique on her.


    However, Yang Wei''s pupil constricted when Zhu Wenqian hadunched her attack randomly, causing him to create a spatial barrier.


    s, his spatial barrier was shattered in an instant upon contact with Zhu Wenqian''s ferocious spiritual qi.


    Yang Wei coughed a mouthful of blood as he quickly retrieved a pill to regenerate his health.


    "Damn it, that crazy woman is really dangerous." Yang Wei wiped his blood off with his sleeve.


    Afterward, Yang Wei proceeded to use his movement technique to escape, hoping to find a nearby cave or a hidden area.


    ''Sigh, how did I go from looting a dead corpse to running away now?'' Yang Wei cried inwardly.


    His luck has been truly amazingtely these days. Not only did he manage to gain an abundant amount of treasures, but he had also made a terrible enemy.


    After running for a long time, Yang Wei found a nearby cave as he decided to venture there and ced multiple array formations around it.


    Yang Wei then wiped off some sweats on his forehead as he sat down. He was exhausted from running away and the spiritual qi needed to activate the premade array formations.


    Sometimeter, Yang Wei began sitting in a lotus position to recuperate his spiritual qi.


    While Yang Wei began recuperating, his movement suddenly halted as he noticed something.


    "T-T-There''s a petal in the lotus tform." Yang Wei muttered in disbelief.


    Yang Wei had been trying his hardest to form a petal but to no avail.


    He had even fed the lotus seed bud with an enormous amount of spiritual qi yet it never bloomed a single petal.


    Thus, Yang Wei had given up on rushing things until now.


    "How did this happen?" Yang Wei mumbled as he closed his eyes once again to concentrate on his cultivation.


    Suddenly, Yang Wei recalled his body was heating up when he was fighting against Zhu Wenqian.


    The final strike he used could have been thest straw needed to form a petal.


    "Ahh, no wonder why there''s a saying that sess always lies in the path of danger." Yang Wei grinned from ear to ear as he cheered loudly.


    "Hoh, you seemed to be excited? Am I interrupting you?" A voice echoed from behind.


    Yang Wei''s face was ashen as he twitched his mouth. The voice was extremely familiar because it was the same voice that he had tried to escape in the first ce.


    Yang Wei took a deep breath as he turned around and faced her. "I didn''t expect you would be able to find me this quickly, Zhu Wenqian."


    "You don''t seem surprised that I''ll be here." Zhu Wenqian asked.


    Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.


    "Based on your cultivation realm, I''ll be happy if I could stay away from you for a bit longer." Yang Wei said as he nced at the array formation he had set.


    Once he had a quick nce, Yang Wei shook his head as he expected the oue.


    The array formation didn''t trigger at all and it meant that Zhu Wenqian had a secret technique that concealed her presence or something that allowed her to pierce through the array formation.


    "Sigh, I could''ve saved myself some more time if I didn''t bother setting up the array formation." Yang Wei muttered as he nced at Zhu Wenqian.


    His eyes turned colder by the minutes as he retrieved his Lightsbane.


    "Anyway, since I can''t pretend to be weak-willed anymore. Let''s have our fight begin now." He added.


    Meanwhile, Zhu Wenqian giggled at Yang Wei''s fighting stance.


    "You don''t really think you stood a chance against me after that fiasco right?" Zhu Wenqian asked as she teased Yang Wei''s effort had turned into naught.


    "Heh, indeed I may not stand a chance against you." Yang Wei agreed with her. "However, that doesn''t mean I wouldn''t be able to inflict a lot of damage to you before I fall."


    Zhu Wenqian curled her lips upward as she grinned wickedly. "I love your confidence boy.. But unfortunately, a saint race member like me wouldn''t care."
