'He's indeed a true Medical Genius!' Zhurong Fen gritted her teeth, nearly grinding them to powder.

More annoying was the fact that she had fallen completely for Luoyin's trap and helped him achieve his goals!

"Yin Xiaolong!!!" She growled in pure fury, and deadly ice waves rolled off her skin, tinged with black demonic aura. "On what grounds are you so favoured by the heavens???!!!!!"

Her voice and aura rumbled the ground and a fierce wind picked up, making the dead trees around them nearly lay flat from the force.

"So what if you're an immortal?!!! You've lost the advantage of your father's and brother's Pearls! You're just a Grand Immortal beneath me!

"I will destroy you!!!!"

She leapt towards Luoyin with even more aura than before, but...

"Hmph." Luoyin suddenly flashed behind her, and one tiny sweep of his hand had her flying towards the far side of the clearing.

'Wh- what-?!' Zhurong Fen caught herself, but staggered in confusion, and she looked up only to see the bottom of Luoyin's feet just before it connected with her middle, kicking her a great distance into the dead trees.

"I don't hit women..." Luoyin appeared just as she landed. "But I must slap a grand sense of wisdom into you!" His hand lashed out in a wicked backhand which sent her crashing into more trees.

"Since I once called you 'Little Sister', then isn't it my duty to educate you on behalf of your father and brother?" He said, appearing before she landed and doling out a deadlier fronthand slap, spiralling her even further.

"Let me tell you, confronting you was also the fastest way to trap you." He explained as he appeared here and there in sharp bursts, 'guiding' her through the space with a series of kicks and punches.

"Old man Bao would have come looking for you, but we knew you would endlessly evade him and even the other Eternal Tier Immortals." He smirked.

"But there was one person you would never avoid... Hmph. In fact you were even looking for me, weren't you? *'The mantis stalks the cicada', unaware it was a disguised oriole...

(*From - 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it...' Means while hunting, you might be hunted, or someone is so focused on pursuing their own goal/prey, that they don't notice a greater danger behind them, etc...)

"I knew you would drop your guard simply because I was mortal, and would even fall for my provocations, granting me the perfect chance to corner you like this!"

He finished with another well-aimed kick to her middle, sending her right back to the clearing and skidding across the frosty jagged ground.

Zhurong Fen roughly crashed into the larger shards of her own icy spikes, leaving a trail of blood behind.

After such a brutal onslaught, she remained still as the clearing settled into a brief silence...

Then,

"You freak of nature...!!" Zhurong Fen began, crudely spitting stale blood out.

Despite feeling like she had been dragged over nails for miles, she forced herself to her feet growling,

"Zhang Luoyin!!!!" She unleashed the full force of her aura and her sword reappeared, now collosal and blocking the moonlight, casting a massive shadow over Luoyin and most of the clearing.

Zhurong Fen's usual calm and elegant facade had been shattered, and all Luoyin could see was a beautiful, yet sad and deranged entity, twisted by her own ambitions and failures...
