God-Tier Providence System-Chapter 126

She unleashed the full power of her Core Formation cultivation and fiercely thrust her sword again.

Yet, without taking the strength needed to blow away dust, it was still dodged effortlessly by Alex with another teleport.

"Alright, let me guess what you saw underground." Alex stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before a mocking, wicked smirk curled on his lips.

"Oh, I understand."

"It was this, right?"

"Six Paths Wheel of Destruction Art, Animal Path!"

Alex raised his index and middle fingers, sharply chanting the incantation. From behind him, a brightly flashing white Six Paths Wheel instantly floated up. The wheel slowly rotated, emitting a heavy, sluggish sound. As if originating from the distant, ancient past.

Fiora realized in absolute terror that under the illumination of this white light, she was entirely unable to move a single inch.

"This... what kind of evil technique is this?!" Fiora’s face was full of panic.

"You...! Aren’t you just Qi Gathering Realm trash?!"

"How is it possible for you to know such a terrifying cultivation method?!"

"Could it be... you deliberately disguised yourself to infiltrate the Divine Blade Sect?!"

"Mm, correct." Alex nodded and laughed cheerfully.

"For such a clever and quick-witted little girl, I must reward you a bit."

"Hmm... what should I reward you with?"

"Alright! I’ll reward you with two cute pets."

"Corpse Yin Rats, manifest!"

Alex pinched a hand seal and pointed back at the wheel behind him. The wheel instantly stopped turning. From deep within, a sharp shrieking sound echoed out.

Squeak... Squeak squeak!

Hearing this familiar sound, Fiora’s pupils abruptly shrank. Her scalp went utterly numb.

"This... this is..."

The next second, her entire body trembled violently. Her eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.

"You devil!"

Two massive Corpse Yin Rats charged out from the wheel. Even more massive, plumper, and with sharper teeth than the two Fiora had seen underground.

Their blood-crimson eyes stared at her, revealing a greedy glint. As if looking at a plump, delicious prey.

"No... don’t..."

"Don’t come over! Go away!"

Fiora shrieked hoarsely, desperately trying to struggle and escape.

But all the meridians in her body were enveloped by the white light of the Six Paths Wheel. She fundamentally couldn’t move an inch.

She could only watch helplessly as the two massive Corpse Yin Rats rushed right in front of her.

They opened their bloody maws, their sharp fangs viciously piercing into her shoulders. Simultaneously biting and tearing at her arms.

"Ahhhh!"

Fiora let out bursts of miserable screams. Her agonized wailing shooting straight up into the heavens. However, the cave dwelling had been firmly sealed by Alex’s defensive restriction.

No matter how she screamed, not the slightest commotion could leak outside.

Alex remained sitting on the side the entire time. Admiring the scene before him with deep interest.

He watched Fiora’s body being torn apart, chewed, and devoured bit by bit.

As if watching a magnificent performance. The rats sucked dry the blood in her body and crunched her hard bones into pieces.

The gnawing was clearly extremely bloody, but under Alex’s mental energy, it deliberately only made Fiora endure a pain worse than death. Without a single bite being fatal.

Ultimately, amidst sheer, overwhelming terror, Fiora’s pupils dilated. She breathed her last and died.

She wasn’t actually bitten to death by the Corpse Yin Rats. She was literally scared to death.

"Scared to death? Truly boring."

"With just this little bit of courage, she actually dared to come out as a assassin?"

"She couldn’t even manage to amuse me in the slightest. What sheer incompetence."

Alex’s interest waned and he casually waved his hand.

Only then did the Corpse Yin Rats finally open their jaws wide, happily gorging themselves on their feast.

In a short while, they had gnawed Fiora’s corpse down to almost nothing.

Suddenly, Alex noticed something. He frowned, stood up, and waved his hand. The two Corpse Yin Rats drilled back into the Six Paths Wheel, and the wheel vanished without a trace.

Fiora’s corpse had been almost entirely devoured. Leaving only a floor covered in fresh blood and half a severed arm. Her fingers tightly clenched, seemingly grasping onto something.

A look of interest appeared on Alex’s face. He picked up the severed arm and looked closely. Tightly gripped in Fiora’s hand was a porcelain bottle. Carved onto it was an antique word: Thorne.

"So it was you, brat." Alex narrowed his eyes. A mocking, ferocious sneer curling on his lips.

"You look so honest and well-behaved on the surface. I didn’t expect you to be so daring as to actually send someone to assassinate me."

"Very well. I will wait and see what other tricks you pull next time to amuse me."

...

The next day, at dawn.

The disciples of Heaven-Turning Peak all woke from their dreams. After washing up, they prepared to head out for morning exercises.

Only Lirin remained in that small grove. His expression anxious, his heart completely unsettled.

Last night, before Fiora set off, she had told him she would just go and come right back. Before dawn, she would bring Taryn’s severed head back to this small grove.

However, Lirin had waited an entire night without receiving the slightest bit of news.

Although, with Fiora’s strength at Core Formation, killing that piece of trash Taryn should have been as easy as flipping her hand.

An entire night passing without a single word inevitably made him feel intensely uneasy.

Just as Lirin was waiting anxiously, a sharp, piercing cold wind suddenly blew from behind him. Lirin shuddered and stiffly turned his head.

He saw a woman with absolute, peerless beauty and an icy, glamorous expression appearing silently behind him like a ghost. Feeling the freezing aura radiating from her, Lirin fell to the ground with a heavy thud, his legs giving out completely.

"Senior... Senior Sister Zella?"

"Why have you come?"

This woman was named Zella, Master Rorin’s direct disciple. Cultivation at the fifth level of Nascent Soul. Ranking second in the entirety of Heaven-Turning Peak.

Zella looked at Lirin expressionlessly. "Fiora suddenly went out last night, saying you sought her out and begged her to handle some matters."
