She took a step forward and arrived at the very edge of the Dew Platform.
The Night Pearl and the human world were beneath her feet, the starry sky and fate above her head.
She slowly spread out her hands, her wide sleeves falling down and dancing in the wind.
She seemed to be standing before an abyss, cautious and careful.
She seemed to be standing before a vast ocean, a majestic sight.
An extremely profound and powerful aura appeared on the Dew Platform.
With a slight shake of her wide sleeves, the night wind suddenly changed direction, moving against the wind and heading towards the Burning Heaven Sword.
Strands of black hair brushed against her face and drifted forward, slightly disheveled, adding to her beauty.
Her hair trembled and the ebony hairpin stuck in her hair fell down, but it did not fall. Instead, it flew into the night sky.
Everyone knew that the Divine Empress had an ebony hairpin. No matter the time, it would always be stuck in her hair.
It was not because the hairpin was very beautiful, the lifelike carving of the phoenix head, but because it was no ordinary hairpin.
It was the third ranked on the Tier of Legendary Weapons, the Wooden Sword Little Phoenix!
… …
… …
An extremely beautiful and incomparably solemn Phoenix cry resounded through the entire capital.
The ebony hairpin flew from the Dew Platform into the night sky. Following the starlight, it transformed into a graceful and beautiful Black Phoenix that was incomparably berserk!
This Black Phoenix was so massive that it seemed capable of obscuring all the stars. It extended a claw and clawed at the blazing Burning Heaven Sword!
A terrifying sound reverberated endlessly between the heavens and the earth.
The Black Phoenix's right claw directly gripped the fire dragon formed from the Burning Heaven Sword!
The dragon-scaled starlight around the Burning Heaven Sword suddenly dimmed, and then, accompanied by countless tiny cracks, it began to shatter into pieces!
But the Burning Heaven Sword seemed to have long since predicted this and directly pierced through those starlight scales!
Su Li's sword … was truly unsheathed!
An extremely sharp sword intent covered the entire night sky. Those scattered starlight were actually cut into even finer pieces, drifting down like snowflakes!
Several black feathers flew into the air!
A Phoenix cry resounded once more, but this time, it was even more tyrannical and matchless!
The Black Phoenix unfurled its ten-some li long wings!
The Burning Heaven Sword stabbed into its black feathers, and its sharp beak fiercely struck the Burning Heaven Sword's head!
A stream of light shone, and then countless streams of light shone, overflowing with brilliant colors. It was indescribably magnificent!
The night sky was illuminated and the world once more entered daytime. From the Imperial Palace to the Heavenly Dao Academy, from the Imperial Court to the Li Palace, the protective arrays of countless buildings were stimulated by the collision of Qi high up in the sky and automatically unfurled. Countless rings of clear light condensed into rings of light, almost simultaneously appearing in the streets and alleys of the capital.
This scene was really too beautiful, so beautiful that it was dazzling, making people unable to look at it directly. In fact, there were indeed not many people who could see it.
The stone pillars surrounding the Li Palace exuded an ancient Qi. In the deepest part of the palace, the Pope quietly gazed at the night sky cut open by the courtyard, gazed at the massive blazing sword and the Black Phoenix that he had not seen for a very long time, and gave a long sigh that was difficult to understand.
The forest of the Mausoleum of Books released an even more ancient Qi. The aged Divine General in the pavilion at the bottom of the Divine Path slowly raised his head, the dust of history slowly drifting away from his armor. Even he, who had a lonely heart and a lonely Dao, had been shaken by tonight's battle.
After an unknown amount of time, the flowing light in the night sky finally faded away.
The thunder-like clashing Qis in the sky also gradually disappeared. The snowy clouds in the surroundings slowly gathered, once more obscuring the shattered starlight.
The capital once more returned to night and the world once more grew quiet.
People stood by the windows of their homes, stood in the ruins, stood by the banks of the Luo River, rubbed their stinging eyes, and once more gazed at the night sky.
There was nothing in the night sky. There was no massive blazing sword, no Black Phoenix. All the strange phenomena had already vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.
Those magnificent and magnificent scenes seemed to have been imagined.
Snow began to fall once more, slowly dancing in the cold wind.
Chen Changsheng extended a palm and took a piece of snow. He realized that the color of the snow was not white, but gray.
The people of the capital all realized that the snow falling from the night sky was actually gray.
Because the sword that had descended upon the capital through the night sky had originally been a piece of paper that had been burned to ash.
The Divine Empress gazed at the Ebony Phoenix hairpin in her right hand and said nothing, her thoughts inscrutable.
The wind on the Dew Platform blew away the gray snow stuck to the hairpin, revealing the hairpin's body.
The dark red Phoenix head on the hairpin was still as noble and beautiful as before, but if one looked carefully, one could see that a shallow sword scar had been added to the hairpin.
The hairpin had originally had a shallow blade scar, and now that a sword scar had been added to it, it was not very obvious.
Only she knew that this meant that Su Li was already infinitely close to the person who had left that blade scar on her hairpin.
Tonight's battle was a draw.
The sword intent left behind by Su Li was actually able to resist her hairpin. This was rather surprising to her.
After a moment, the corners of her lips perked up, revealing a mocking smile.
"Don't want to leave, but have no choice but to leave. Those who are trapped by love are all mediocre. Even if the path of the sword is stronger, what can it do?"
She suddenly sensed something and turned to a certain place in the south of the city. Her brows perked up as she coldly said, "He actually still dares to stay! Truly a thing that doesn't know life from death!"
… …
… …
There were many people who did not want to leave, such as that old Daoist nun.
She had gone to the Orthodox Academy to establish her might and kill people, but in the end, she had been forced back by Su Li's sword intent. Battered and exhausted, she had borrowed the darkness to flee.
As one of the Storms of the Eight Directions, how could she be willing?
So she had not truly left. She had borrowed the array of some noble residence in the south of the city to conceal her Qi.
Then, she saw that battle in the night sky — standing in the quiet garden, watching the gradually fading streams of light, thinking of that massive blazing sword and that Black Phoenix, the old Daoist nun's complexion became abnormally unsightly. Tianhai's strength had actually reached such a high level. Could it be that the Saints were all concealing their true level and were a level higher than people like her? But when had Su Li raised his cultivation to this level?
After watching this battle, she was forced to admit that she was still very far from Tianhai and Su Li, and it was even highly likely that she would never be able to catch up to them in this lifetime. This fact made her feel a great sense of defeat, and then she became more and more angry, so angry that she wanted to kill people.
She had not left the capital just now precisely because she wanted to kill people. Su Li's sword intent had already been shattered by the hairpin. Presumably, no one could have imagined that someone of her status and cultivation would so treacherously go to the Orthodox Academy to kill people again. Who could stop her?
A venomous killing intent appeared in her eyes and a boundless sea of ice roiled like ink.
She took her almost completely bald horsetail whisk and walked towards the Orthodox Academy, her face brimming with killing intent.
But just as she began to walk, a voice resounded in her ear. "I've always believed that fate is a very unreasonable thing, and I've obtained the best proof of this on your body. How could a wretched and despicable old woman like you obtain the favor of the starry sky and enter the Divine Domain?
This voice was very cold, very dignified.
At the same time, a cold and dignified gaze descended from a very high place and fell upon the old Daoist nun.
