Nine Nights in the Underworld

(The story and characters in this work are entirely fictional.)

Ming Jiu and Ye Xue were sworn enemies. In Jiujiu Medicine Valley, Ming Jiu wore a black robe, while Ye Xue was dressed in white.

"Ye Xue, today is the day you die!" Ming Jiu's eyes brimmed with hatred, his voice icy as the sword in his hand glinted coldly.

Ye Xue smiled faintly. Her beauty was otherworldly, like a celestial maiden, but the smile never reached her eyes. "Hmph. It's too early to say who will win, Ming Jiu. Don't get ahead of yourself!"

Before her words had even faded, Ye Xue darted forward to attack Ming Jiu. They clashed at once, swordlight flashing and sword energy surging. In an instant, the flowers and plants in Jiujiu Medicine Valley were battered beyond recognition.
