Chapter 5041: Might we ask your name? Editor: Misty Cloud Translations A chill shot up from her feet, piercing straight to her heart with a sharp whizz. The bone-chilling cold engulfed her entire being, plunging her into an abyss. Behind her, cold sweat seeped out, and every hair on her body stood on end. In that moment, her throat felt as if gripped by a ghostly hand, leaving her unable to breathe, frozen in place. Feng Jiu’s two fingers, clutching the blade, moved forward. With a swift motion, she snatched the sword from her grasp, twisting it to hold it in her own hand. A flash of cold steel erupted, accompanied by the whistling sound of sword qi. Simultaneously, the tearing of fabric echoed through the air. Pieces of red fabric scattered chaotically to the ground, revealing the woman’s undergarments beneath. She stood frozen, eyes wide with terror and horror, staring at the green-clad woman who had seized her blade. In that moment, she finally understood why the Supreme Elder had been killed without uttering a sound. Simply because this woman was too powerful! "That red outfit of yours is truly an eyesore," Feng Jiu said calmly, raising the sword in her hand to press it against the woman’s throat. "Though I’d love to grant you the death you just described, it would probably be too gruesome. How about we try a different method instead?" The woman’s eyes narrowed in shock. She tried to speak, but no sound came out. In that instant, she saw only a flash of cold steel. A chill touched her throat, and the next moment, her body collapsed to the ground. The elderly man and middle-aged man from the Cheng family watched the scene unfold, involuntarily taking a step back. Their eyes held horror and shock, unable to believe that such a supreme-level powerhouse had been killed right before their eyes—throat pierced by a single sword thrust from the azure woman! And without any chance to resist! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 The scene was too horrifying, too shocking, leaving them frozen in that instant, their minds filled with trembling dread. They knew they should flee immediately! Yet their feet felt rooted to the ground, weighted down as if filled with lead, too heavy to move even half a step. If they were this paralyzed, the elders of the Song family were even worse. Their eyes were wide with disbelief. In that moment, they finally understood why this woman called Lady Xuanyuan had said they had nothing to fear with her present—she was truly formidable! The middle-aged man from the Cheng family was the first to snap out of it. His expression changed instantly as he stared at the green-robed woman holding her sword, her gaze fixed on them. "Please wait a moment!" he exclaimed in alarm. He feared that if he spoke too slowly, the sharp blade in her hand might turn, and they too would fall silent to the ground like the already dead Yuehong. Having reached the Supreme level of strength, they valued their lives more than anyone. In this situation, they desperately sought any glimmer of survival. "Any last words before you die?" Feng Jiu didn’t seem particularly concerned. In her eyes, these two were already as good as dead; letting them speak their final words was no trouble. Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s heart sank. He had intended to speak up to grasp a sliver of hope, but in this moment, he understood clearly that no matter what he said or did, the outcome would be the same—death was inevitable. The old man beside him grasped the same truth. They exchanged a heavy glance, took a deep breath, and swallowed the words they had been about to speak. Instead, the old man said, "Your power is formidable. We know we cannot escape death tonight. But before we die, might we ask your name?"
