In front of the tree under the moonlight
Qin Kong was dead. He was killed by the Black Hole Heavy Sword. His body was smashed into pieces and he died without a complete corpse.
However, Chu Xingyun's eyes did not change at all. They were still very cold.
He had traveled thousands of miles to Ancient Sword City for the sole purpose of taking revenge. Since he had come for revenge, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy.
Moreover, a vicious person like Qin Kong deserved to die.
With a slight twist of his palm, Chu Xingyun retrieved the Black Hole Heavy Sword. Under the light of the candlelight, obscure and complicated patterns appeared on the dark and deep sword body. Within the patterns, there was a scarlet light shining.
At this moment, there was a black halo inside the Black Hole Heavy Sword. It was not big, only the size of an adult's fist. It was suspended in the middle, constantly shifting and rotating.
Outside the black halo, there was a vigorous Spiritual Power. It was like gossamer, curling up and down around the black halo. It even completely flowed into the interior of the black halo. It looked particularly mysterious.
Buzz!
The Spiritual Power suddenly disappeared, and the light was annihilated. The mysterious patterns on the sword body also gradually dissipated, returning to its original appearance. It was simple and vigorous.
"It is indeed a legendary treasure. The first time I use it, it already has such a strong power. Unfortunately, the amount of Spiritual Power required is too great. Even I can't maintain it." Chu Xingyun's face was a little pale. It seemed that he had consumed a lot of Spiritual Power.
The core of the Black Hole Heavy Sword was the black halo in the depths of the sword body.
This halo looked ordinary, but it actually contained many secrets.
Just now, Chu Xingyun had released all of his Spiritual Power and integrated it into the black halo. However, in the end, it could only wander around the periphery. It could not touch the black halo, let alone integrate into it and form a resonance.
Even so, Chu Xingyun had obtained a part of the Black Hole Heavy Sword's power. It could swallow everything around it into the black halo. Even light and sound could not escape.
This method was not hiding or camouflage. It completely swallowed up the area, forming a broken layer that could not be found. It was as if it had suddenly disappeared.
It was by relying on this that Chu Xingyun could sneak into this place silently. When he killed, the screams and wails of those people were also swallowed by the black halo. They could not be transmitted to the outside world, let alone be known by others.
"After I entered Wanjian Pavilion, whether it was to investigate what happened in the past or to avenge the Qitian Peak, I had to do it in secret... Originally, I wanted to learn a Concealment Technique... Now, it seems that there is no need....."
After swallowing a recovery type pill, Chu Xingyun revealed a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth.
No matter how profound and exquisite a Concealment Technique was, there would always be flaws. However, after obtaining the Black Hole Heavy Sword, Chu Xingyun did not have to worry about this. Even the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion could not discover him.
"I've only come into contact with the outer layer of the black halo, yet I already possess such a skill. If I advance further, I wonder what kind of power I will obtain." Chu Xingyun had completely recovered. His gaze toward the black hole heavy sword instantly became fiery.
The power of the Black Hole Heavy Sword was as vast as the ocean. Chu Xingyun had only obtained a small part of it, but it had already disappeared without a trace. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the power of the Black Hole Heavy Sword would be if it could resonate with the black halo.
But not long after, the burning gaze in Chu Xingyun's eyes disappeared.
With his current spiritual power, he could only exist on the periphery of the halo. It was extremely difficult to go any further.
"The denser the spiritual power, the closer I can get to the black halo, and the stronger the power I can obtain. This point seems simple, but it's actually extremely difficult. If my spiritual power doesn't increase by dozens of times, I won't be able to advance at all."
Chu Xingyun stared at the black halo. After pondering for a long time, he muttered in a low voice, "According to my estimations, unless I step into the Sky Spirit Realm, I won't be able to truly come into contact with the black halo."
This thought flashed through his mind. Suddenly, a strong desire surged on Chu Xingyun's face.
To him, stepping into the Sky Spirit Realm was too important.
Once he entered the Sky Spirit Realm, Chu Xingyun would be able to control Yang Energy, flip through the Reincarnation Heavenly Book, and further control the Black Hole Heavy Sword. His strength would increase by a huge amount.
At that time, even if Chang Mingyang had four King Artifacts, Chu Xingyun would be able to easily kill him without any effort!
"On the path of martial arts, one's realm is extremely important. During this period of time, I should also focus on cultivating and strive to step into the Sky Spirit Realm as soon as possible."
Chu Xingyun encouraged himself in his heart and turned around. Just as he was about to leave, he glanced at the grayish-white jade on the ground — the Tracing Jade.
Pausing for a moment, Chu Xingyun waved his hand and kept the Tracing Jade into his storage ring. Only then did he turn around and leave.
At this time, it was already late at night and the night was dark.
When Chu Xingyun stepped into the courtyard, a beautiful figure slowly walked over. The gentle moonlight enveloped the girl's body. Her eyes were like water, gentle and moving. Even Chu Xingyun was absent-minded for a moment.
"It's so late, where did you go?" Xia Qingcheng frowned with a hint of reproach.
"I just got the heavy sword, so I went out to train and familiarize myself with it." Chu Xingyun smiled. He wasn't lying. In his opinion, the battle just now was indeed a training exercise.
"You're a sword cultivator, so it's understandable that you're familiar with swords. But you just offended Chang Mingyang, so it's reasonable that you don't go out. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you." Xia Qingcheng's tone became heavier.
"Don't worry, I won't leave before the Sword Cleansing Trial." Chu Xingyun promised. However, he wasn't really worried about Chang Mingyang's revenge.
Right now, he had the Black Hole Heavy Sword. Once he activated it, even Nirvana Realm experts wouldn't be able to find him. On the other hand, Chang Mingyang, who was only at the Third Sky of the Sky Spirit Realm, wouldn't be able to do anything.
The reason why Chu Xingyun didn't come out was to deceive others.
No matter what, Qin Kong was Qin Qiumo's son. His death would definitely cause a huge uproar. Chu Xingyun didn't want to reveal his identity, so staying here was undoubtedly the best choice.
"You still want to participate in the Sword Cleansing Trial?" Xia Qingcheng asked, her eyes filled with worry.
"I came to Ancient Sword City to participate in the trial. Naturally, I won't give up." Chu Xingyun shrugged and smiled, "Actually, you don't have to worry. With my strength, those people shouldn't be a threat. On the contrary, you should focus on yourself and familiarize yourself with the Ethereal Dual Swords. Strive to get into the top ten."
Xia Qingcheng looked at Chu Xingyun in astonishment. She saw that Chu Xingyun's eyes were as deep as ink, with a simple smile on his face. It was very sincere, unlike the eyes of many men when they looked at her. It made her heart tremble.
"Luo Yun, can I ask you a question?" Xia Qingcheng took a deep breath, seeming a little nervous.
Chu Xingyun nodded, his smile still the same.
"That day in the Martial Arts Arena, you said that you wouldn't marry me. Is that because you hate me?" Xia Qingcheng didn't look into Chu Xingyun's eyes. She lowered her eyes, her two jade-like hands constantly kneading the corners of her clothes, her heart beating rapidly.
"Princess Qingcheng's appearance is like a fairy from the Nine Heavens. You are even more concerned about me. How can I hate you?" Chu Xingyun's eyes were like torches, as if he had seen through something. He said, "The reason why I rejected you back then was because I already have a woman I love."
"I see." Xia Qingcheng was still skeptical. She asked, "Is she very beautiful?"
"Yes, very beautiful." Chu Xingyun smiled.
"How is she compared to me?" Xia Qingcheng's expression was a little gloomy. There was a trace of unwillingness in her voice.
"In my heart, there's no one who can compare to her." Chu Xingyun's serious reply caused Xia Qingcheng's beautiful eyes to narrow. She then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I would like to meet her in the future."
"Okay, there will definitely be a chance in the future. Definitely!" Chu Xingyun's tone became heavier. He lifted his head and stared at the bright full moon in the night sky. He couldn't help but think of Shui Liu Xiang's gentle smile.
Xia Qingcheng didn't leave. She stood in the same place, also lifting her head to look at the full moon. However, her heart was in a mess. There was a trace of melancholy lingering in her heart.
Under the moon, before a tree, a man and a woman stood side by side, looking at the bright moon together.
