That comment was just a mutter to herself and went unnoticed. But Jiang Ke’er had always been honest—even if no one heard, she would keep her promise.
—If she said she would go all out, she would never hold back.
The experience of Sekiro and Dark Souls? That was from her opponent’s perspective.
Z-shaped cold light darted through the crowd, the pure white feathers at her temples gently fluttering backward.
Those hit often only had time to feel a fragrant breeze brush their face. Next, the lucky suffered broken bones; the unlucky lost an arm or leg.
Regaining combat effectiveness would require a long recovery.
The nearby human cities were not far, and reinforcements arrived quickly.
From afar, they saw the Ruins Snake God’s tattered head and couldn’t help being shocked.
Soon they realized the battle situation was not optimistic.
Human cultivators were inexplicably lying all over the ground, missing limbs, while demon cultivators were basically unharmed.
They hurriedly joined the fight.
Before they could see clearly, they found their hands and feet had lost sensation.
After cutting down one wave, Jiang Ke’er said nothing, not caring about the groaning human cultivators or the stunned looks of the demon cultivators.
She just silently stood back on the snake head to recuperate in quietness.
Then, waiting until shadows of human cultivators appeared on the horizon again, she vanished. To go reap the next wave.
“This is what you call a leek-type cultivator,” Li Lao’er said with a smile, naming the human reinforcements on the horizon.
There were two large waves of human cultivators. Li Lao’er thought that even if Jiang Ke’er was strong, it would take some effort to deal with them. But today, Jiang Ke’er was exceptionally fierce.
Even though she was badly injured, the strength she displayed was even more formidable than in the previous matches. Each wave had over a hundred human cultivators, but from landing to being disabled, it only took two seconds.
“Just who in the world is this…” The demon rescue team captain, Fei Ling, stared blankly at the severed limbs and broken arms all over the ground.
At the same time, the demon city’s team, which was clearly outnumbered, arrived late.
Just as Li Lao’er had predicted, if they had relied on their own strength, the demons would likely have been completely wiped out today.
“This…”
The demon reinforcements who arrived thought they would face a bitter battle with slim chances of victory.
But what met their eyes was a battlefield that had already settled.
“How did you do it?” The reinforcement captain gasped, asking Fei Ling.
Fei Ling gave an awkward laugh: “Don’t use the word ‘you.'”
“What do you mean?”
“She did it. Whether it was the Ruins Snake God or taking care of the elite reinforcements and rescue teams from two entire large human cities… she did it all by herself.” Fei Ling pointed at Jiang Ke’er, who was sitting on the snake head with eyes closed, healing.
Jiang Ke’er remained silent, as if this eye-popping feat was just a trivial matter in her eyes.
“Did an Honored One come in?” The reinforcement captain widened his eyes and whispered to Fei Ling.
Fei Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head: “Not an Honored One. Just… pure awesomeness.”
“…”
“Anyway, hurry up and transport the Ruins Snake God,” Li Lao’er came over to remind them.
“After the Ruins Snake God died, its skin became soft. We don’t have enough strength—we could only cut off the head and bring it here.”
“There’s a huge pile of snake body in the cave. Go pull it out quickly and transport it back. Human reinforcements from other cities are probably already on the way.”
“That’s true, but… what does the senior think…” The reinforcement captain cautiously looked at Jiang Ke’er.
“Don’t call her senior. She’s probably younger than your granddaughter,” Li Lao’er laughed.
“You hurry up and transport it back first. She has things to do now and can’t bother with this.”
Li Lao’er looked at Jiang Ke’er with some concern. Jiang Ke’er’s complexion was a bit poor.
After all, she had suffered such heavy injuries and then exerted herself—how could she be in good condition?
But Jiang Ke’er was more worried about the power of that White Light Code.
This time she used it for a longer time.
After stopping, the fading speed of the White Light Code characteristics had noticeably slowed.
Moreover, the increase in this fading time had grown geometrically. It seemed these external powers must be used cautiously and never relied upon.
Jiang Ke’er closed her eyes to recuperate, sensing the White Light energy while thinking.
Today’s White Light Code she obtained was the power of the Ruins Snake God.
After the Ruins Snake God died, a large mass of White Light surged out from its body and merged with hers.
Losing this White Light enhancement was the reason the snake skin softened—the White Light was the source of the Ruins Snake God’s strength.
And the Ruins Snake God was one of the ten Ruins God-level Ruins Kings of the Realm of No Regret.
So could it be inferred that the other nine Ruins Gods also possess a power source like the Ruins Snake God? And could she also devour and fuse with it as a life-saving measure in emergencies? Jiang Ke’er was eager to try.
It seemed she had found a good cultivation target.
Leading a large group of human captives and the corpse of the Ruins Snake God, Jiang Ke’er and the demon rescue team finally arrived at the demon city.
But it was already the evening of the second day after entering the Realm of No Regret.
“Qiao Xiaoxian hasn’t arrived yet,” Changsun Qingyue looked at Jiang Ke’er with confusion.
“Aren’t you worried?”
“What’s there to worry about?” Jiang Ke’er pouted unhappily.
“That guy is the protagonist. She should be receiving some grandmaster’s inheritance in some fengshui treasure land right now.”
As Li Lao’er’s fiancée, Changsun Qingyue already knew the true identities of Jiang Ke’er and Qiao Xiaoxian, and also knew their strength, but she still felt a bit worried.
“This place is far more dangerous than the Realm of Novice Cultivator. Even for Qiao Xiaoxian… In any case, we can’t let our guard down. It’s best we go find her,” Changsun Qingyue advised.
“Why find her? If she can’t handle something, adding me won’t help either.”
“Alright, alright, don’t be petty. Though I don’t know what grudge you have between you, you must be worried about her too, right?” Changsun Qingyue helplessly bent down and rubbed Jiang Ke’er’s head.
“Consider it as big sister asking you, okay?”
“…”
Jiang Ke’er simply couldn’t refuse Changsun Qingyue’s request. Changsun Qingyue had given her a letter of introduction to the Taiming Sect, which was a great favor.
“Fine, but I have to make it clear!” Jiang Ke’er looked seriously at Changsun Qingyue.
“I am not, not at all, not one bit worried about her! I’m purely finding her to help you!”
“Mm-hmm! Okay~” Changsun Qingyue nodded happily.
“What’s with that tone of coaxing a child…”
“Not at all~” Changsun Qingyue smiled and waved at Jiang Ke’er.
“Anyway, if you need help, call me. Since you’re awake now with your medical arts, I won’t bother you… I’ll come check on you every hour.”
“Thanks.” Jiang Ke’er pouted.
Changsun Qingyue left the room.
Qiao Xiaoxian… Jiang Ke’er scratched her head. How could something happen to her?
