A seventeen-year-old at the peak of the seventh-tier of the Body Refinement Realm, who had comprehended the peak of the Initial Stage of Sword Intent, was a Talisman Master, had a five-star Talisman Scroll, and possessed a high-grade Human Tier Artifact that not even a Spirit Refinement Realm martial artist had. He could even survive a palm strike from her with his cultivation at the peak of the seventh-tier of the Body Refinement Realm …
Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Binger felt that there were too many extraordinary things about Lu Xuan. In comparison, other than being far more powerful than Lu Xuan, she was not as mysterious as he was.
"Can you tell me your story?" Zhao Binger asked curiously.
Lu Xuan was slightly startled, but then he smiled. He did not think that a strong person like Zhao Binger would be interested in his story.
But since he had nothing to do, Lu Xuan began to tell Zhao Binger about his story.
During the entrance exam of the Wind Sword School, in order to protect his sister, he personally killed Longtai. Under the protection of Ninth Uncle and Elder Xu, he exterminated the Ryūka clan. After entering the inner sect of the Wind Sword School, in order to help the sword sect rise, he defeated Zheng Gang, defeated Lin Tian, and became enemies with Xu Wenyang. In order to save Lin Xinyi, he killed Xu Wenyang, and then escaped, trapped in the Hengduan Mountain Range …
Besides hiding the Sword Crystal and the Zhang family's inheritance, Lu Xuan did not hide the general story from Zhao Binger. This was the first time he carefully recalled everything that had happened along the way.
Although Lu Xuan's tone was calm, Zhao Binger knew the dangers and difficulties. She was indeed luckier than Lu Xuan, because before this, she had a powerful master to protect her. But Lu Xuan did not. He walked all the way by himself, and it could be said that he overcame all obstacles and fought his way out.
"We are all in the same boat, there is no need to know each other. We are fated to meet." Zhao Binger smiled, "In order to avoid trouble, we escaped from the sect, and then got seriously injured and gathered in this cave. What a coincidence."
Hearing Zhao Binger's words, Lu Xuan felt that it was indeed a coincidence. Both of them were in the same state, their strength was damaged, and they were trapped in this cave, unable to get out.
Lu Xuan smiled at the thought and said, "I think I'll be able to recover most of my powers in about a month. When that time comes, I'll return to the Wind Sword Sect. I promised the elders of the sect that I would take first place in the sect tournament and help the Sword Sect rise again. I believe that no one will be able to stop me then!"
Seeing how confident Lu Xuan was, Zhao Binger could not help but feel envious. It was good to have a goal. She wanted to learn from Lu Xuan's mentality.
She passed the roasted meat back to Lu Xuan and said, "I'm full, I'm going to start healing and try to recover my strength as soon as possible."
Taking the long sword, Lu Xuan noticed that Zhao Binger only ate two or three pieces. However, with Zhao Binger's strength, she did not have much need for such ordinary food.
"You don't mind if I eat your leftovers?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile.
Zhao Binger blushed slightly, "Up to you."
After saying that, Zhao Binger walked straight to Lu Xuan's simple bed, sat down cross-legged, and started healing. She did not hold back and openly took over Lu Xuan's place.
However, Lu Xuan did not mind at all. He had been alone for the past few months. Now that Zhao Binger was here, having someone to keep him company made things a lot livelier. Furthermore, she was such a stunning beauty. Lu Xuan did not pay any more attention to Zhao Binger and gobbled down piece after piece of barbecued meat.
After finishing his, Lu Xuan did not break his promise. He did not hesitate to eat Zhao Binger's leftovers. Usually, he ate two skewers by himself. One was not enough.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Binger could not help but have a strange feeling in her heart. However, she quickly calmed down. She formed a seal with both hands and entered into a state of cultivation.
The internal injuries she suffered were extremely severe. While she seemed fine when she spoke to Lu Xuan earlier, the truth was that her body was in an extremely bad state.
After finishing the two skewers of roasted meat, Lu Xuan started to clean up the mess. At the same time, he took out some water to wash his swords. He had risked his life to get this water from a small pond on the east side of the cave.
At this moment, Zhao Binger, who was healing on the bed, suddenly had an abnormal red flash across her face. Then, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body softly fell onto the bed, coughing non-stop.
Zhao Binger's movements instantly attracted Lu Xuan's attention. He quickly put the two swords back into his storage ring. Lu Xuan ran to her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay? "
This time, Zhao Binger did not faint. However, the red on her face had disappeared and was replaced by an abnormal paleness. She was still coughing non-stop and could not answer Lu Xuan's question.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly. He seemed to have felt a very familiar aura. He immediately realized something and turned his head to look at the blood that Zhao Binger had spat out. His hand was stained with a bit of blood, and a chill was emitted from the blood!
That's right, the familiar aura that Lu Xuan felt just now was this chill!
There was no doubt that Zhao Binger was in a similar state as Lu Xuan was back then. She was also invaded by the chill, but she was in an even worse state than Lu Xuan was back then. That was because the chill in her body was obviously offensive in nature, and it was forced into her body by someone else. Lu Xuan, on the other hand, was only infused with that drop of mysterious essence blood all of a sudden, which made his body unable to withstand it.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan suddenly recalled the words of the knife-scarred man. He said that because Zhao Binger's body was invaded by the power of the mysterious ice, it caused her strength to be impaired. This chill was extremely likely caused by the power of the mysterious ice that entered her body!
Just as Lu Xuan was pondering, Zhao Binger finally stopped coughing. She panted for a while, and a bitter smile appeared on her face as she said, "When I was escaping, I was hit by that beast's palm. This palm contained the Mysterious Ice Force that he cultivated. However, in order to escape, I forcefully suppressed it. However, there were too many enemies later on, so I was unable to suppress it. Now, this power has already seeped into my heart …"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's heart slightly sank. The importance of the heart to a person was self-evident. If the heart was damaged, it would greatly decrease one's cultivation, or even lead to death. It was definitely not a problem that could be easily solved. Although Zhao Binger's strength was not weak, the eldest senior brother's strength was clearly stronger than hers.
"With your strength, are you unable to resolve it?" Lu Xuan asked.
Zhao Binger shook her head, "If I resolved it immediately, naturally it would not be a problem. However, I did not have the time at all. After that, I continuously used Yuan Power along the way, and this Mysterious Ice Force had already flowed into every part of my body along with the Yuan Power. At this moment, it is continuously seeping into my heart. Once it exceeds my endurance …"
Zhao Binger did not speak anymore. Obviously, once it exceeded her endurance, her heart would be completely destroyed by this chill. There was no second possibility other than death.
"Your eldest senior brother is really vicious!" Lu Xuan said with a gloomy face.
However, Zhao Binger laughed coldly and said, "His calculations are good. Obviously, he wants to use this method to bind me. Other than going back to find him to resolve it, there is no other way to resolve it. No wonder the people that he sent to chase after me were not very strong. He is determined to eat me."
"However, this time he is wrong. Even if I die, I will definitely not be threatened by him!" Zhao Binger's tone was firm. In her eyes, there was already a will to die. Obviously, she was more determined than Lu Xuan had imagined. She would rather die than submit.
Hearing Zhao Binger's words, Lu Xuan's eyes moved slightly and he asked, "He can resolve it? Is there a way to resolve it? "
"Of course there is a way to resolve it. As long as someone can absorb this Mysterious Ice Force, then I will be fine. However, unless it is a martial artist whose strength far surpasses his, otherwise, he will not be able to withstand it. This Mysterious Ice Force is his own strength, so naturally, he will be able to withstand it easily." Zhao Binger said calmly. She had already prepared herself for the worst. However, the only thing that made her unreconciled was that after such a long time, she actually did not see the true nature of that beast. Not only was his heart incomparably dark, but he was also so proficient in scheming.
Not only did he deceive her, but he also deceived countless seniors and juniors. Other than those loyal followers of his, perhaps no one knew that the kind and helpful big senior brother in their eyes was actually such a person.
After Zhao Binger finished speaking, Lu Xuan did not rush to speak. Instead, he began to ponder. As long as someone could absorb this Mysterious Ice Force, then it would be able to resolve Zhao Binger's crisis.
However, an ordinary martial artist would definitely not be able to withstand it. If even Zhao Binger could not withstand it, how could the rest of the people withstand it? Moreover, even if someone was willing to sacrifice themselves, they might not be able to completely absorb the Mysterious Ice Force. For a martial artist in the Body Refinement Stage, perhaps a little bit of it would be enough to take their lives.
However … Lu Xuan was different. He had just felt the Cold Force in Zhao Binger's body. Although it was strong, it was completely not on the same level as the drop of Essence Blood that he had obtained.
Moreover, now that he had absorbed a large part of the energy of the drop of Essence Blood, his blood vessels already contained the attribute of the drop of Essence Blood. There was no doubt that his resistance to the Cold Force had increased again.
In the end, Lu Xuan still made a risky decision. He was not the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die. Otherwise, he would not have helped Zhang Dongshuang repeatedly when she was in trouble back then. He even almost got himself killed in the process.
"Perhaps I can try." Lu Xuan said slowly.
"What?" Zhao Binger was stunned. She thought she had misheard Lu Xuan's words.
Lu Xuan repeated himself, "I said that I might be able to help you absorb the power of that mysterious ice."
After confirming that she had not misheard, Zhao Binger immediately smiled, but there was a trace of bitterness in her smile. She shook her head and said, "You can't, your strength is too weak. Firstly, you can't completely absorb it. Secondly, you can't withstand the invasion of the Mysterious Ice Force. I can die alone, why should I drag you down with me?"
