Qin Ruyue had truly not anticipated Shi Mi's schemes.
But Shi Mi had also greatly underestimated her.
"So, Shi Mi, you do have a brain after all. It's just as foolish as ever."
"Aren't you afraid your plan will fail now that you've revealed your intentions before you've even killed me?"
As Qin Ruyue spoke, the Night-Cutting Spider's abdomen pulsed.
Encased in a glob of viscous fluid, an ink-black Energy Core shot toward Qin Ruyue.
As it flew through the air, the fluid encasing the ink-black Energy Core transformed into layers upon layers of spiderwebs.
Cupping the Night-Cutting Spider's Energy Core in both hands, Qin Ruyue retrieved a curved saber from her Soul Base and, without a change in expression, plunged it into her heart.
Scalding Heart's Blood poured onto the Night-Cutting Spider's Energy Core.
Qin Ruyue's Heart's Blood wasn't a vibrant red, but a dark crimson so deep it was almost black.
