"If I die, your husband will be buried with me!" Qingzhi cursed menacingly.
Rong Lan paused, her expression flickering. She pressed down hard on Qingzhi's furry body with her paw, her nails scratching through the fur and digging into the flesh. Her face was icy cold. "Are you still spouting nonsense at this point, Qingzhi? Do you believe I'll burn your tail and cut off your fox paws before I kill you?"
Hearing this, Si Mo subconsciously glanced at the mangy fox's tail. It was far more wretched than Rong Lan's. Almost all the fur on the tail had been burned off, and there were pitted and scorched marks on it.
"I've already set a trap on your husband. Rong Lan, if you want to kill me, go ahead. But if you do, you'll lose your beloved forever!"
The voice formed by Qingzhi's spiritual power was filled with intense hatred.
Rong Lan looked down at the mangy fox that could barely struggle, scoffing. "You look like a complete joke now, Qingzhi, just like someone who's given up. Come to think of it, you really didn't listen to me carefully..."
She loosened her fox paw, giving Qingzhi a chance to move freely. "Didn't I tell you that I'm going to give you one last lesson today? The name of the lesson is 'Trust Your Friends'."
Qingzhi sensed that Rong Lan had relaxed her guard. She frantically mobilized the remaining spiritual power in her body, trying to escape from here.
However, she underestimated Rong Lan's cruelty.
Rong Lan watched as Qingzhi's spiritual power surged. When Qingzhi thought she was about to escape, Rong Lan pressed her paw on Qingzhi's back. First, she severed Qingzhi's meridians, and then absorbed all of Qingzhi's remaining spiritual power.
The pain of having her meridians severed made the remaining fur on Qingzhi's body stand on end. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was in excruciating pain, but she couldn't even scream.
Si Mo saw the miserable state of Qingzhi with her eyes almost popping out. He silently stood up and took two steps back, looking up at the sky.
In the sky, dark clouds were gradually gathering, covering the warm setting sun. Through the thick clouds, he faintly saw crackling lightning.
Rong Lan was absorbing Qingzhi's spiritual power with one paw, while gently stroking Qingzhi's fox head with the other, leaving several bloodstains on it. "Si Mo's amulet will protect my husband for me. It definitely will, because with his personality, if he couldn't do it, he would have told me in advance. I trust my friend completely. Do you understand now, Qingzhi? Your little tricks are useless."
"Also, I'm a vengeful person. I'll make you feel the same pain I felt when I was struck by lightning. You'd better be prepared, Qingzhi." After squeezing out the last bit of spiritual power from Qingzhi's body, Rong Lan set up a small magical formation on Qingzhi, and then ran forward three steps on all fours.
She gracefully squatted down three steps away from Qingzhi, her fox tail drooping on the ground. Her round fox eyes stared coldly at the dying fox.
She had severed Qingzhi's meridians, preventing Qingzhi from absorbing spiritual power to resist the lightning strike.
Moreover, she had sealed Qingzhi's soul in the fox's body to prevent it from leaving the body when struck by lightning.
In addition, the magical formation she had set up on Qingzhi could keep Qingzhi alive a little longer, preventing her from dying after just one lightning strike. After all, she had been struck by lightning so many times, and she was determined to let Qingzhi feel the same pain.
Si Mo could tell that the elegant little fox was attracting the thunder tribulation. He silently took another step back.
He didn't want to be accidentally injured at all.
Seeing Si Mo step back, the ghost Bai Rong Lan didn't know what was going to happen next, but she followed Si Mo and took a step back.
It turned out that her retreat was the right decision.
Under the cover of the dark clouds, the entire sky became gloomy and gray, as if a torrential rain was about to pour down.
However, the torrential rain didn't come. A bolt of lightning passed through Si Mo's magical formation and struck directly at the fox Qingzhi.
The ghost Bai Rong Lan, who had never seen such a grand occasion, was so surprised that her jaw dropped. She subconsciously glanced at her own body to see if it was still intact.
Si Mo silently used his spiritual power to repair his magical formation. After the lightning strike, there was another big hole in his formation. The power of the thunder tribulation was really...
Powerful!
The mangy fox, who had been struck directly by the first thunder tribulation, had all the fur on her back burned.
The terrifying thing was that her consciousness was clear. She could feel the severe pain of being burned on her body and the tearing pain of her soul, but she couldn't die. Although she was in extreme pain, she could still clearly sense that she was still alive.
Rong Lan dug her claws into the ground and tried to straighten her fox back. She had a stress reaction to lightning. Being in such close contact with the lightning, she couldn't help but fluff up her fur, but at least she had to control herself not to curl up into a ball, lest Qingzhi laugh at her during the countdown of her life.
"Sis... Sis..."
The mangy fox, with her back burned and unable to move, lay on the ground with tears in her eyes. She looked at Rong Lan pitifully, begging her to save her.
Rong Lan wanted to cover her ears. Hearing Qingzhi call her sister made her feel sick. Those cries of "sister" seemed to be mocking her, as if all the feelings she had for her sister in the past five hundred years were a big joke.
She stared coldly into Qingzhi's eyes, and her fox ears drooped slightly. "Qingzhi, in our world, you never let me go. So how can you have the face to beg me to spare you?"
The second thunder tribulation struck. With a loud boom, the fox, who had been struck directly, was almost completely burned.
She still stared at Rong Lan stubbornly, with tears welling up in her eyes, begging Rong Lan to save her.
Now, the only one who could save her was Rong Lan.
But Rong Lan was no longer the soft - hearted sister she used to be. She looked up at the dark clouds, her pupils darkening. When she looked down at Qingzhi again, there was neither hatred nor resentment in her eyes, only the pleasure of finally getting her revenge. "Goodbye, Qingzhi."
As soon as her voice fell, the third and fourth thunder tribulations fell one after another, hitting Qingzhi accurately.
Si Mo looked at the little fox, who was maintaining an elegant posture but was on the verge of collapse. He raised his hand to control the tribulation clouds for her.
"She's dead," he said coldly.
The mark he had placed on Qingzhi disappeared completely when the fourth thunder tribulation fell. The disappearance of the mark could only mean one thing - the marked person had completely vanished.
"It seems that not even a corpse was left," the ghost Bai Rong Lan said curiously as she took two steps closer. There was a big pit where the thunder tribulation had struck, and the area around the pit was charred by the lightning. Inside the pit, there was nothing but black ash.
Hearing the ghost Bai Rong Lan's words, Rong Lan subconsciously looked at her.
"It's better that not even a corpse was left," she said. After all, she had also been struck by Qingzhi's lightning until her body was reduced to ashes, and her soul had drifted from the time - space rift to this world.
"Thank you," the elegant little fox said, staring at the ghost Bai Rong Lan with a smile in her curved eyes.
