Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2777: Chapter 2778: A Slim Chance for Survival, Fought for by Oneself

Having said that, Shuman Qing resignedly closed her eyes.

Thud!

After a muffled sound, Shuman Qing felt a warm liquid splatter on her face.

Yet the expected pain did not occur; only a muffled groan at her ears startled her.

What’s going on?

This groan...?

She suddenly opened her eyes, only to see her sister Shuman Na’s head fly away, leaving only a headless corpse standing there.

The liquid splattered on her face was Shuman Na’s blood.

Even though she was prepared to face death, this scene was far beyond what Shuman Qing could bear.

After all, it was her twin sister who was with her day in and day out!

And to die so tragically before her eyes.

It was undoubtedly shocking.

But Shuman Qing strangely found herself not feeling much sadness, not even anger.

All she had was endless confusion and helplessness.

"You’re a smart person, so now I can give you a chance. Tell me everything about your master, and I’ll spare your life!" Xue An said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Shuman Qing suddenly raised her eyes.

"My master? Wasn’t it already slain by you?"

Xue An smiled, "Since you serve it as your master, you should naturally understand what it is, the one that died was merely an avatar!"

"So you want to know everything about it? Are you planning to counterattack it?" Shuman Qing said in a deep voice.

"What I do is none of your concern, just divulge everything you know!" Xue An said faintly.

Shuman Qing deeply gazed at Xue An and ultimately smiled silently.

"So you understand that forcefully probing our memories is futile!"

With Shuman Qing’s level of power, it would be very tough to extract her deeply buried memories through external force.

Because such strong people usually have layered defenses in their minds, and touching a vital point would instantly lead to self-destruction.

Xue An merely smiled at this, "You’re right. I just tried with your sister’s Divine Sense, but her soul was highly uncooperative, resulting in failure!"

"In that case, why are you certain I’ll cooperate?" Shuman Qing unknowingly straightened her back as she spoke.

"Because you’re a smart person, and smart people tend to weigh pros and cons to make wise choices!"

"But what if I don’t?" Shuman Qing replied coldly.

"Hehe, you will! Because on one hand is the eternal obliteration of the soul, on the other is a slim chance of survival; such pros and cons I don’t believe you can’t see!"

Shuman Qing was silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice, "But why can’t it be survival?"

Xue An glanced at her, "Do you think that’s possible?"

With that, Xue An said in a calm tone, "You should weigh it carefully; I don’t absolutely need to know about your master. This is merely a way out for you!"

"As for you wanting me to spare you completely... that’s absolutely impossible because your sister died by my hand, and if I let you go, you would undoubtedly seek revenge!"

Shuman Qing sneered coldly, "Why, are you afraid?"

"It’s not fear, but it would cause trouble, and I hate trouble, so I’ll give you twenty seconds to consider, then tell me your decision!"

It actually didn’t even take twenty seconds; almost as Xue An’s voice fell, Shuman Qing had already made up her mind.

"But how can I trust you?"

Xue An shook his head, "I won’t give you any guarantees because our current status is entirely unequal; your life and death hinge on my whim. I say live, you live; I say die, you die! So you can only trust me."

"And even if I gave you guarantees, would you believe them?"

Shuman Qing pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth and made her decision.

"Fine! I hope you honor your words!"

Saying this, Shuman Qing condensed all the information about that gray shadow into a Divine Sense and passed it over.

Xue An received it and, with a brief check, confirmed it wasn’t fabricated, so he nodded.

"Good! Now end it yourself!"

Shuman Qing cast a complex look at her sister’s corpse on the ground, finally steeled her resolve, and severed her own veins.

Thud!

With her blood going against its flow, she first spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed backward powerlessly.

But before she truly fell, a flash of the sword ended her pain.

A head flew away, and a strand of Divine Sense emerged from her body.

But before it could fly far, the pull of the Formation’s golden light brought it to Xue An’s presence.

Within the Divine Sense was a miniature version of Shuman Qing, looking at Xue An in terror.

Sheng Hongqian stepped forward, "Milord, just destroy her, there’s no point in arguing morals with this kind of person!"

"Indeed, she’s really wicked. If you hadn’t prepared beforehand, we might’ve all died by her hands!" Niu Dali urged from the side.

In the Divine Sense, Shuman Qing’s face showed increased terror, looking at Xue An with eyes nearly pleading.

Now, she could only do this.

After all, she was less than a lamb on the chopping block.

At least a lamb can bleat twice before dying, while Shuman Qing in this dispersed Divine Sense state couldn’t make any sound.

Xue An merely smiled gently, "Rest assured, since I promised you, I will certainly fulfill it, but the process will merely be a bit painful!"

With that, Xue An gripped the Divine Sense tightly, and with a twist.

In an instant, the Divine Sense scattered, and most memories and existence dissipated.

Then Xue An opened his hand, revealing only a pure white, flawless thought.

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, the strand of Divine Sense dispersed into the world and disappeared.

Niu Dali and others looked slightly stunned; then, somewhat doubtfully, they spoke.

"Sir, did you just let her go like that?"

"Yes, is there any problem?" Xue An replied coolly.

"Uh... no problem, no problem! I just think letting her go so easily is a bit too cheap for her!" Niu Dali hurriedly laughed.

Xue An was noncommittal, ignoring him, and instead turned to speak to Sheng Hongqian.

"How far is it from here to the Central Region?"

Sheng Hongqian quickly replied, "About half a month’s journey!"

"Half a month’s journey..." Xue An pondered for a moment.

"Milord, is there a problem?" Sheng Hongqian asked cautiously.

"Oh, nothing, just reminded of something suddenly!"

With that, Xue An turned and walked toward the back mountain.

"I’ll go into seclusion for a few days. If there’s anything, wait until I’m out to discuss!"

"Yes!"

Sheng Hongqian and others all bowed in respect.
