Chapter 187

"Boom!" A brilliant purple radiance erupted from the woman’s graceful hand as she swept it through the air. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a jade hairpin shimmering with dazzling brilliance. Coiled atop the hairpin was a creature with a pitch-black and purple body, its wings spread wide—a Zixiao Thunder Luan, a rare and mystical bird seldom seen in this world. The Zixiao Thunder Luan’s feathers were a mottled mix of purple and black, dancing with blinding flashes of lightning. As it beat its wings, the low rumble of wind and thunder seemed to shake the very air. It held its head high at the peak of the hairpin, its golden eyes sharp and piercing, as if capable of seeing through all illusions. Its beak, pointed as a sword and glinting with a bone-chilling cold light, looked as though it could tear through space with the slightest effort.
