Little Widower (Female A, Male O) [ChatGPT Translation]

☆ 40. It's really the grand finale.

The real finale is here.

Suddenly breaking through the barrier, the heart-wrenching Gu poison surged like a bursting dam, gripping the heart as if by an invisible hand, as if it could shatter at any moment. Stifling and painful sensations overwhelmed, making it impossible to resist, almost causing a breakdown.

Xue Cai's face flashed with shock and fear, leaving only despair in the end. The people present were already in chaos, disciples brought by Xiao Yan were fighting with Jiang Xu and his men as well as the followers of Tongming Sect. Jiang Yan was entangled by Shen Ying, unable to break free. Xue Cai no longer cared about the chaotic situation, only able to stare hatefully at the opponent and curse under his breath.

"Xiao Yan, you're ruthless!"

A few simple words, yet they carried a bone-chilling taste when spoken by him.

Xiao Yan wiped the red "bloodstains" on her face. This substance was made from red sugar and dye, originally poured into fish bladders and placed in the mouth, with a sweet and fishy taste that was nauseating. It quickly became sticky and hard on the face, with nowhere to wipe it off the hands. Xiao Lou was annoyed by this substance, and Xue Cai, seeing an opportunity as the situation turned against him, drew his short sword, intending to make a desperate move.

Xue Cai, still having some sense, knew that Xiao Yan's defeat earlier was just an act, and seeing her current weakened state, he realized the inner strength depletion had likely been resolved. Understanding this, his jealousy grew stronger, and with a turn of his blade, he aimed towards Chen Bao'er, who stood beside Xiao Yan in confusion.

The reason he brought Chen Bao'er today was to use the Soul-Capturing Demon Sound to create a misunderstanding, witness Xiao Yan's death, and naturally leave Chen Bao'er in despair. Then he could take advantage of this "furnace" himself. However, he did not expect Chen Bao'er to have such talent, managing to completely restore Xiao Yan in just a few days, even showing signs of improvement.

Since he was no match for Xiao Yan, he could at least use the people beside her as a shield.

Embracing the idea of mutual destruction, a slight circulation of inner strength brought a piercing pain to Xue Cai, his face contorted with a grotesque and ugly smile.

He was originally a rare handsome man, but at this moment, the word "handsome" had nothing to do with him, only a nauseating and hideous appearance.

Xue Cai's desperate strike came like thunder, Chen Bao'er's face showing astonishment, not even having time to be afraid, instinctively trying to evade.

"Seeking death!"

Chen Bao'er felt his body lightened, as Xiao Yan raised her arm to block him. Her jaw clenched, face pale, the River of Years sword edge intercepted, sending Xue Cai's short blade flying out of his hand, spinning in the air and deeply embedding into the ground.

Xue Cai's failed move left him unable to continue, standing dumbfounded in place. Before he could react further, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, followed by a surge of heat. He lowered his head in disbelief to see the sword piercing his heart, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

At that moment, Shen Ying exhausted all her skills in a prolonged battle with Jiang Yan. Although he had not fully recovered, he still possessed the absolute strength of a top expert. Shen Ying, relying on clever tactics, struggled against him, but over time, she began to falter.

"Master! It's time for you to step in!"

By now, Jiang Yan had completely figured out Shen Ying's tactics, first sealing off her retreat with several consecutive moves, then retreating with force, planning to overpower her with absolute strength and defeat Shen Ying. She had no way to avoid it, only able to meet the challenge head-on. She felt anxious: she might have to replay the classic scene Xiao Lou had just performed, but while Xiao Lou was pretending, she might be genuinely injured.
