A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qi Mu's mouth. She gripped her great axe firmly, and with a swift movement, she turned, her skirts billowing as she cleaved through the encircling evil spirits!
The spirits, realizing too late that her earlier exhaustion was an act, were stunned. They were now unable to reassemble their forms!
Qi Mu understood the principle of "cutting the weeds and digging up the roots." She continued to swing her great axe, wiping out all the evil spirits in the courtyard, leaving only traces of ghostly energy.
"Heroine!" Lord Xue, seeing the tide turn, stopped in his tracks with tears in his eyes. "You're incredibly powerful! I can't ever repay you for saving us!"
Qi Mu raised an eyebrow. "How could you not repay me? Do you plan to take your money with you to the grave?"
Lord Xue's face stiffened. Since when did heroes of the martial world speak so bluntly about money? They used to be known for their righteousness and chivalry.
