Oh... By the way, strictly speaking, this sword light did not completely cut apart everything along the way.

At least the carriage that Bai Bai was riding in was unharmed under the influence of the sword light. The light blue ice crystals that were cursed with the "Pure White Cold Hell" formed crystal clear translucent polygons.

A defensive barrier composed of countless ice crystal polygons firmly protected the entire carriage. Even the sword light that seemed to cut through everything could not break through the defense of this layer of ice crystals.

It wasn't until the blood-red sword light dissipated that the barrier composed of polygonal ice crystals turned into countless white light spots again, swarming back to the pale body and disappearing again.

"What a terrifyingly powerful sword..."

The pale figure had come out of the carriage at some point. He stood beside the carriage and looked at the sword marks that ran through dozens of kilometers, and let out a heartfelt sigh.

After speaking, he looked back and murmured as if to himself.

"This little girl... really suffered a big loss this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a miserable figure appeared within a range of nearly a hundred meters away from the sword mark. The figure fell directly from mid-air to the ground, and the huge amount of bleeding stained the ground red in the blink of an eye.

This figure is none other than Ariel, the girl who was just hit by the blood-red sword light.

"Ho-ho-cough! Wow-"

After escaping from death, she struggled to hold up her body, but it affected her miserable injuries. After coughing violently, she spit out blood from her mouth.

At this time, the right half of the girl's body has disappeared, and the wound is smooth and flat but appears blood red. Apparently, the terrifying sword intent in the blood red sword light still remains in her body.

Blood gushed out from the wound like spring water, instantly dyeing the charred ground beneath her red. An increasingly heavy feeling of powerlessness gradually filled her remaining body, and she had to use her remaining left hand to support herself from falling completely.

The girl was clearly on the verge of death, but her spirit seemed to be burning and raging as if a torch had been lit. Her eyes widened with a ferocious face, and something strange appeared in her red fire eyes.

Normally, her fire eyes are as red as fire, and they feel as bright and warm as flames. But now, in the depths of the girl's pupils, there is a trace of blood red!

That's right, it's really as blood-red as the blood-red sword light before! Cold murderous intent flows in the pupils, and the dazzling red light like a sharp sword shines in the eyes.

Although Ariel was seriously injured at the moment, the breath of death was getting heavier and heavier. But the blood in her fiery eyes became brighter and dazzling, and the silver teeth in her mouth clenched.

Her delicate and beautiful face looked ferocious and distorted, whether because of pain or anger. She used her left hand to support her body and dug deeply into the blood-stained earth beneath her.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

A hoarse growl came from her throat like a wounded animal.

Because the body was exerting too much force, the amount of bleeding from the wound became larger. But the girl didn't care at all at this moment. The knuckles of her left hand were already a little white due to excessive force.

The severe pain brought Ariel to the verge of death, but it also made her fearless! Her face had gradually turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and only her blood-red pupils became colder and more dazzling.

There is a hint of madness in it!

She is angry...

She resents...

She is crazy...

…

But her madness was not because of the blood-red sword light, but because of her own powerlessness and weakness.

She was angry that she couldn't even escape when being targeted by killing intent. She resented her own weakness. When facing a truly strong man, the opponent only had one sword strike, but it almost killed her.

If she hadn't broken free from the murderous intent lock in time and used spatial displacement to escape the moment the sword touched her body, she would probably be dead now!

This feeling of powerlessness of being unable to do anything in the face of a powerful enemy; this feeling of being so weak that even life is not in your own hands; this feeling of terror that you may die at any time...

It was these kinds of feelings that made her almost crazy!

The blood in the girl's fiery eyes became thicker and her murderous intent became colder and piercing. The expression on her face was a little broken and distorted, and her mouth murmured like a demon from hell.

"Kill you...kill you...kill you! I will definitely kill you!!"

Finally, the blood red in the fiery eyes turned into a real killing intent. It was as piercing and cold as a sharp blade, and as bloodthirsty and violent as a wild beast.

"Calm down."

The sudden onset of paleness is like a bucket of cold water dousing the girl's crazy flames that are about to get out of control.

Ariel slowly closed her fiery eyes. As her face became paler, the ferocity and distortion on the girl's face slowly faded away, and finally she gradually returned to calmness.

The girl's body, which was slightly trembling with anger and excitement, gradually stopped. When she opened her fiery eyes again, the murderous intent in her pupils had subsided, and she seemed to have turned back into red fiery eyes.

Her expression relaxed as if she had completely returned to calmness, but in fact she just hid her madness and murderous intent deep in her heart.

"Is that the power of a forbidden curse? It's pale."

No wonder she asked this question, because when facing that blood-red sword light, it was indeed the most terrifying and powerful force she had ever seen.

But she was also confused at the same time, because based on what she had seen on Long Island and Bai Wan's explanation of the "Forbidden Curse" in the future, there was no doubt that the power of the Forbidden Curse should be far greater than this.

The usually strong and tenacious girl now looked a bit weak due to her pale complexion. She was so pale that she even frowned at the heavy injuries. He stabilized her injuries while speaking.

"Of course not. If it is a forbidden curse level power, you have no chance of surviving. It is also a legendary level power, but this level of sword light may have reached the limit of legend."

After he finished speaking, he saw that the girl was still hesitant to speak. With the ability to see through people's hearts, he instantly understood what she meant and took the initiative to explain her thoughtfully.

"You feel that the power of this sword light is more terrifying than the forbidden curse. That's because you and the forbidden curse are still on two levels. You cannot fully perceive the terrifying power of the forbidden curse, so this perception bias will naturally occur."

Although Ariel's doubts were cleared after hearing this, she still felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart, so she forced herself to speak.

"Since I am also a legend, why can't I even take one of his swords? Is it possible that I, who just broke through to legend, am really that weak?"

He sighed faintly at the girl's persistence, gently pressed her little head and said.

"I remember telling you at the beginning that legend is a path of continuous evolution, continuous self-sublimation, and continuous transcendence of the limits of life."

"The gap between legends is sometimes even wider than the direct gap between legends and mortals!"

These words echoed in the girl's heart like a thunder, and she suddenly understood where she had lost. She had not only lost in strength, but also in her own expansion.

Although she has never slacked off since becoming a legend, she is more or less arrogant, thinking that she has reached the top, and feels a little more arrogant.

So when faced with Lucy's coming-of-age rituals, she felt that her current strength could help her at all costs, and she even felt that Duke Terry could no longer stop her.

After she became a legend, she even felt that she was qualified to talk to the top powerhouses in the empire, such as the Four Dukes, on an equal footing.

Now that I have truly faced those top legendary powerhouses, I understand how vulnerable I am, and how arrogant and inflated my previous thoughts were.

'Is that so? It's ridiculous. I thought I could outrun Duke Terry even if I couldn't defeat him. I thought I was strong enough and qualified to control my own destiny.'

'Unexpectedly, I am still so weak after all...'

"What? Were you hit?"

Looking at Ariel's gloomy face close at hand, he smiled lightly and looked at her calmly.

"I remember I taught you a lot of things along the way: everything is possible... so everything you get comes with a price... don't be dependent on others, etc."

"Now, let me teach you another lesson: No matter where you are or what you are facing, it is best to keep a humble heart!"

"I'm sorry... I was too self-righteous and didn't listen to you properly."

The girl lowered her eyes and said sadly. In fact, when she was with the Terry family, Bai Wan had already reminded her not to swell. But she didn't even practice the "Phoenix Flame" that the other person reminded her.

"Silly boy."

In response to this, Wanwan just smiled nonchalantly and comforted softly.

"Actually, your pride is not wrong, because your age is the time when you are young and frivolous. Similarly, being able to become a legend at this age is also the capital of your pride."

"I want you to learn humility, just to let you understand a truth. No matter how powerful you are, you must remember that 'there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world'! There is no strongest in this world, only stronger!"

These words made Ariel look thoughtful, and it was obvious that she had a deep understanding of these words now that she had suffered a loss.

But unfortunately, the pale and serious teaching speech did not last long, and he immediately turned to rambling.

"Now do you know the role of life-saving skills? You have to understand that there is no need to worry about running out of firewood to keep the green hills. As long as you can survive, you will have unlimited possibilities."

"Of course, if you want to be the kind of villain boss who is overturned by the protagonist because of his arrogance, and who pretends to be incompetent but gets slapped in the face, then you'd better continue to be arrogant and tough."

…

These words made the girl's face darken, and at the same time, a touch of warmth appeared in her heart. Even though she didn't express it clearly, she felt his care and worry from these words.

"Okay, okay, I remember everything. You are almost as nagging as my mother."

Sensing her mood recovery, a smile appeared on her pale face.

"I don't agree to be your mother, but I can be your father. How about you call me..."

"Get out of here!"

The joke did not last long. At this moment, Ariel was still seriously injured and almost on the verge of death. After the girl recovered her emotions, her expression straightened and she spoke calmly in a low voice with a somewhat hoarse voice.
