Hsu Fengnian was sitting cross-legged on the ground, covered in blood. He looked even more battered and exhausted after the snow mixed with his blood. Hsu Fengnian gasped for breath, each breath seeming like it was tearing apart his internal organs. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the broken Beiliang blade and wanted to retrieve it. However, he spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as the thought came to mind.
At this moment, a snow-white creature with a strange tail slithered out from behind him. It was no more than three feet long and had a slender body like a snake. There were two horns on its forehead like a flood dragon, two whiskers like a carp, and four claws. It suddenly moved as fast as lightning and bit the broken blade onto Hsu Fengnian's leg. It raised its little head and wagged its tail at Hsu Fengnian as if it was asking for praise.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and extended his hand. The little fellow suddenly turned its body and hovered motionlessly in the air, seemingly pretending not to see anything. Hsu Fengnian bent his finger and gently tapped on its head. The snake-like creature fell onto Hsu Fengnian's knee with a thud. First it pretended to be blind, and now it was playing dead.
Hsu Fengnian, his face covered in blood, laughed involuntarily and said, "That bead is already shattered. Even if you swallow it, it'll take at least a few hundred years to completely digest it. It won't be of much benefit to you or me, but Huang Man'er needs it to nourish his body and condense his soul. Spit it out obediently and I'll count to three. "
In the end, when Hsu Fengnian counted to three, the little fellow lying on his knee twitched on purpose, as if to express that it had died heroically in battle.
Hsu Fengnian twirled its tail with two fingers and said helplessly, "As expected of my natal item. It's just like me when it's acting like a rascal. Fine, fine, I promise you that after we return to Liangzhou, you can eat all the Koi Fish in Tidehark Lake."
The little fellow's head floated up to the same level as its tail and tilted back slightly. Its head and tail joined together to form a cute little circle, just like a lively dragon wall.
It hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly opened its mouth and spat out a bead with visible cracks. It was as small as a grain of rice, but it radiated the brilliance of the sun and moon. After spitting out the pearl, the little thing was somewhat dispirited and listless. In a flash, it disappeared into thin air. Hsu Fengnian held the two sections of the cold blade in one hand and pinched the bead with two fingers in the other. He stood up with difficulty and turned to walk towards Xu Longxiang.
The young man stood there in a daze. The body of the famed sword Storm Calming in his mouth and his hanging arms had dazzling lightning swirling around them.
Even Hsu Fengnian was shocked by his imposing manner.
However, this kind of power was like a dynasty that seemed to be at its peak but was actually surrounded by danger and would collapse at the slightest touch.
Hsu Fengnian didn't approach Xu Longxiang, whose Qi was extremely chaotic. He loosened his fingers and opened his palm. The broken dragon bead began to spin in his palm. Hsu Fengnian pushed forward and the bead slid out of his palm. However, it quickly bounced back. If Hsu Fengnian hadn't turned sideways in a hurry, he would have been hit by the bead. To the martial artists of Jianghu, this bead was an unimaginable tonic. Its effect of nourishing the essence, Qi, and spirit was unparalleled. The bead probably felt Hsu Fengnian's resistance and could only spin around. To the spiritual bead, its choice of Huang Man'er as the dragon cave was naturally far inferior to Hsu Fengnian, who was a natural matchmaker.
Tantai Pingjing swept to Hsu Fengnian's side and asked with a complicated expression, "If you don't take what is given by heaven, aren't you afraid of being punished?"
Hsu Fengnian said indifferently, "In order to withstand the Sky Thunder, Huang Man'er sealed his Heart Acupoint. His three souls and seven spirits are very unstable. Even if he becomes a Celestial Being, he will be no different from Gao Shulu who has lost her mind. Tantai Pingjing, if you help me, I won't fuss about your sinister intention of trying to take both dragon and python. "
Tantai Pingjing's mind was full of thoughts. She didn't agree or refuse.
Hsu Fengnian suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "Then I'm begging you, blockhead. Can you do it? At most, I'll return the Moon Well Sky Mirror to you later. "
Tantai Pingjing was stunned and looked absent-minded.
It was unknown when Deng Taia had appeared beside the two of them. He chuckled softly and said, "You're still flirting at a time like this?"
Tantai Pingjing turned her head and looked at the young man who was absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth crazily. Her expression became serious.
Deng Taia touched a sore spot and joked, "Yo, our Sect Master Tantai is at least a hundred years old, and yet she can still act like a shy little girl. Look, her ears are red."
Tantai Pingjing ignored the Peach Blossom Sword God's ridicule and sighed softly, "Even if I help, I'm afraid it's too late. There's only one obsession left to become a Celestial Being. If I don't cut it, even if Đồng Thái takes the sword and I send the pearl, it's meaningless. Xu Longxiang still can't return to the human world. Moreover, whether I send the pearl or Đồng Thái takes the sword, the price will be very high. "
Tantai Pingjing raised her hand and waved her sleeve. A breeze rolled up a handful of yellow sand and floated to the young man. The sand didn't turn into powder immediately. Instead, it shot into the lake like an arrow and slowed down bit by bit. However, in the slow process, there was a kind of 'natural' and 'unreasonable' weathering. It was natural because the weathering of sand in the desert was a matter of course. It was unreasonable because under normal circumstances, it wouldn't take a few years or even dozens of years for the weathering of sand in the desert. This strange phenomenon was like a toddler who had just learned how to walk. After one step, he would become a teenager. After a few more steps, he would reach middle age and old age, until he died of old age.
Đồng Thái clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "This is the Way of Heaven."
Tantai Pingjing said worriedly, "The so-called Celestial Being Realm means to forget about the world without worries. When everyone is awake, I sleep alone. Just like what the Saint said, Liezi travels alone with the wind. How to wake Xu Longxiang up is the most difficult part. "
Đồng Thái smiled and said, "It's useless to talk about it. I have a sword …"
As he spoke, Đồng Thái put two of his fingers together, raised them up, and then gently chopped down.
If it was said that Xu Longxiang's surroundings followed the rules of the Heavenly Dao and formed a small chiliocosm of its own, and this part of the world was in chaos like a chicken egg, then Deng Taia's sword momentum was about to split open the world and split the chicken egg in half.
Đồng Thái laughed loudly and said, "After splitting the mountain, I'll use another sword. Let's call it Paving the Road!"
The finger sword cut the mountain, and the mountain was about to close.
Đồng Thái then released streaks of sword aura between the mountains, forcibly blocking the gathering of the Way of Heaven.
Đồng Thái rode the wind and flew forward. After leaping over Xu Longxiang's head, the Calm Wind Ripple with purple lightning appeared in his hand. After the Peach Blossom Sword Deity went straight through the Thunder Pool of Heaven, his figure went further and further. He knocked his fingers and flicked his sword. He laughed and said, "Splitting the mountain and paving the road, two swords in exchange for a good sword. We don't owe each other anything."
