Fortunately, dark flames were protecting Eggy's body. She looked battered, but she didn't appear to be injured.
Still, Chu Feng hurried to Eggy's side with a tense expression.
"Eggy, are you okay?"
Chu Feng examined Eggy with worried eyes.
"Dummy, do I look like anything's wrong?"
"I'm fine, so don't worry."
Eggy answered with a cheerful grin.
Seeing that Eggy was unharmed, the weight on Chu Feng's heart eased considerably.
"Eggy, use this. It might help you."
As he spoke, Chu Feng produced a massive black scythe and handed it to Eggy.
This enormous black scythe was called the Reaper's Blade. He had obtained it long ago from the Weapon Storing Heaven-reaching Pagoda within the Spirit Weapon Manor — it was a weapon forged specifically for World Spirits.
Back then, Chu Feng and Yin Zhuanghong had entered the pagoda together, and both had their eyes set on the Reaper's Blade. However, obtaining it was no simple matter.
Chu Feng had endured considerable hardship to claim it.
Eggy glanced at the Reaper's Blade, and her gaze suddenly shifted.
It was an incredibly complex look — even her emotions wavered.
"No."
Eggy not only spoke with anger in her tone but also flicked her small hand, pushing the Reaper's Blade away.
"Eggy, this is a weapon you can—"
Chu Feng tried to explain, but before he could finish, Eggy cut him off.
"I know."
"It's a fine weapon, but I don't like the way you got it."
"Chu Feng, listen to me carefully. I know you care about me, but I will not allow you to harm yourself to obtain something like this."
"If you insist on doing that, even if you did get it, I absolutely will never take it."
Eggy scolded Chu Feng with a furious expression.
She rarely lost her temper with him, and even more rarely spoke to him with such sharp words.
But though she was reprimanding him, warmth bloomed in Chu Feng's chest. How could he not understand — Eggy was only saying these things because she cared about him.
At the end of the day, she just didn't want him taking risks.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"Are you two done flirting?"
"You damn woman, the only reason I haven't killed you in a hurry is because I can't bear to."
"How dare you carry on with this trash right in front of me?"
"You really don't take me seriously at all."
"You damn woman, I'll give you one last chance. Do you want to die, or do you want to submit to me?"
The Blood Clan World Spirit stood shouldering the Blood Clan Ancient Sword and posed the question to Eggy.
Perhaps because he had just repelled Eggy moments ago, his confidence was soaring.
"Heh..."
But who could have predicted that Eggy would respond with a contemptuous laugh.
"You must be giving it your all now, aren't you?" Eggy asked.
"Can't you feel my overwhelming power?" The Blood Clan World Spirit replied smugly.
"How terribly boring." Eggy shook her head in disappointment.
"Boring? What are you talking about?" The Blood Clan World Spirit frowned.
"I'm saying that even at your full strength, you can't force me to use mine."
"You... are truly too weak."
Eggy said.
"Son of a bitch, I let you off the hook, and you dare insult me?"
"You damn woman, today... I'm going to carve that beautiful body of yours into mincemeat."
With that, the Blood Clan World Spirit raised the Blood Clan Bone Sword overhead, ready to swing it down at Her Majesty.
But after raising the sword, it never came down.
This sight left not only the onlookers confused, but the Blood Clan World Spirit himself bewildered as well.
It wasn't that he didn't want to swing — he couldn't.
His arm was as if it had been frozen in place, held aloft, completely unable to move.
When everyone looked more closely, they gasped in shock.
Eggy — who had just been standing beside Chu Feng — was now behind the Blood Clan World Spirit, her small hand gripping his enormous arm with an iron grip.
She... had seized the Blood Clan World Spirit's arm, preventing the raised Bone Sword from falling.
"You..."
The Blood Clan World Spirit turned his head to look.
Seeing Eggy — so tiny before him — his eyes filled with terror.
This was the first time such fear had ever appeared in his gaze.
"I told you, you're too weak."
Eggy's smile turned eerie.
In the next instant, a torrent of dark flames erupted from within her body.
Those black flames transformed in the blink of an eye into two colossal hands of black fire, each stretching a thousand meters long, sealing the Blood Clan World Spirit between them from either side.
