...
Enchanting, frivolous, and accompanied by a cautionary voice, Zhu Zhuqing stood still, feeling the incredibly dangerous chill on her neck.
Zhu Zhuqing was surprised, but not unexpected, because she had already sensed someone approaching her.
With the same bloodline aura, Zhu Zhuqing knew who the person was.
"Sister, do you really think so?"
Zhu Zhuqing still maintained her cold expression, without any change. Her sister's sharp claws were placed on her neck, and with just a little force, they could pierce her fair skin, causing blood vessels to burst and blossoming into a glamorous blood flower.
Zhu Zhuyun was startled by her sister's words, her eyes narrowing.
Yes, when she placed her claws on her sister's neck, she also felt a sense of crisis.
She lowered her head and suddenly noticed that her sister, at some point, held a Bamboo Sword in her right hand, the tip of the sword pressed against her waist.
Zhu Zhuyun was shocked. She had only paid attention to her own attack and didn't realize that her sister had also moved at the same time.
She had no doubt that this seemingly toy-like Bamboo Sword could easily pierce her waist.
A faint sharp intent filled the air, giving Zhu Zhuyun an undeniable sense of danger on her back.
A raging wave of shock surged in Zhu Zhuyun's heart. She lifted her head and glanced at her sister's profile. It remained as calm and composed as before, seeming to have everything under control.
Thinking of this, a hint of fear rose in her heart.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, you've made some progress, hehe~" Zhu Zhuyun chuckled. Although she was extremely surprised by Zhu Zhuqing's change and even frightened, she still showed a calm and composed expression on her face.
"I didn't expect you to start playing with dangerous things like swords. It really scares your sister~"
Zhu Zhuyun smiled and retracted her claws from her sister's neck, then moved away the Bamboo Sword pressing against her waist. She then lightly leaped backward, keeping a distance of about ten meters between them.
"What are you here for?"
Zhu Zhuqing turned around to face her sister, she sheathed the Bamboo Sword around her waist, looking at her sister with a cold voice.
As sisters, they naturally had many similarities. Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun both had tall and graceful figures. However, Zhu Zhuqing, wearing black night clothes, perfectly outlined her alluring figure with tight-fitting clothes, making her even more seductive.
Looking at their faces, one could see similar features. However, Zhu Zhuqing kept straight, silky long hair tied in a ponytail behind her, while her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, had a refreshing shoulder-length bob.
The two of them looked like twins, but their temperaments were significantly different.
Zhu Zhuqing had a cold and elegant temperament, while her sister Zhu Zhuyun exuded a bewitching charm, like a ripe red apple, enticing people to taste it.
Under the bright moonlight, the two sisters were like two blooming flowers, dazzling and captivating.
One was a beautiful and elegant narcissus, the other was enchanting, seemingly a provocative black rose with fatal allure.
Seeing her sister's cold and distant demeanor, Zhu Zhuyun lazily stretched her waist, revealing a charming smile on her delicate face.
"Why? It's been just a few years, why are you so cold to your own sister~"
"Sister, when I knew you were here, I even gave up my beauty sleep and came to see you overnight~ Zhuqing, behaving like this really hurts your sister~"
After speaking, Zhu Zhuyun even displayed a sorrowful look on her face, wiping non-existent tears from the corner of her eye.
Seeing her sister's pretentious appearance, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of indifference in her eyes and even a feeling of amusement.
"Don't pretend, it's just the two of us here. If you have something to say, say it."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold. She understood her sister's temperament. Since she came to find her tonight, it meant that there would be no good things happening.
Her gaze turned sharp as Zhu Zhuqing remained vigilant against Zhu Zhuyun, wary of any attack she might launch at any moment.
It's rather funny, they were sisters, but they were each other's opponents, even to the point of threatening each other's lives.
The fate bestowed upon them by their family forced them, as sisters, to fight against each other. It was ironic.
Looking at her sister, a trace of sadness appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
She still vividly remembered their childhood, when their sisterly bond was strong, and her sister would share anything good with her without hesitation.
But since her Martial Spirit Hell Civet awakened, their relationship had already broken.
Merely because of this, these two sisters with deep emotional connections became competing rivals.
Zhu Zhuqing was unwilling. She couldn't understand why they had to fight and even resort to killing, despite being close relatives.
All for the sake of a fusion skill? It was utter nonsense!
In the past, Zhu Zhuqing dared not think about it because she didn't have the strength.
But now, everything was different.
As the one to break the shackles between the two families, Zhu Zhuqing would personally sever it!
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes became resolute as she tightened her grip on the Clear Shadow Sword's sheath.
With this sword in her hand, she had unparalleled confidence and determination.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun also felt that her younger sister seemed to have undergone some changes. However, that was not important anymore because she had ultimately arrived here.
"Zhuqing, you should know what it means to step into this Spirit Hall City."
"While the competition hasn't started yet, you still have time to give up; otherwise, there's no going back." Zhu Zhuyun advised, feeling a hint of reluctance. After all, she was her sister. They had grown up together since childhood; there was no way there was no emotion between them.
The family trial was something she couldn't resist, only compliant. Zhu Zhuyun didn't want to harm her sister.
Zhu Zhuyun was well aware that this trial was not fair at all. Their talents were similar, but with a few extra years of cultivation, which couldn't be compensated for.
Her sister had managed to advance to the elimination round of the Spirit Master Tournament at such a young age, which surprised and amazed Zhu Zhuyun. Perhaps her sister would surpass her in the future, Zhu Zhuyun admitted.
But the family would only look at the result.
As long as she and that person participated in this competition and their teams met in the tournament, the final trial would begin.
Upon hearing her sister's words, Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily stunned.
She felt very surprised, never expected that her sister, who had always been cold to her, would actually care about her.
However, she had already made up her mind.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "I'm sorry, sister. I have my own pursuit, so I can't give up!"
Zhu Zhuyun was not surprised by her sister's response. She understood her sister's temperament. Since she had come to this Spirit Hall City, it meant that she had already made up her mind.
Zhu Zhuyun smiled faintly. "Zhuqing, you are still as stubborn as before."
"Then, let me see if your strength matches your determination!"
As soon as her words fell, Zhu Zhuyun's figure disappeared in an instant.
Swoosh~
Appearing again, she was already two meters above Zhu Zhuqing.
Her crystal-like eyes sparkled with a glimmer, and her slender and sharp claws reflected a chilling light under the moonlight.
