Dying by the Sword
Xia Qingcheng was poisoned by the Wuxuan Powder and had no strength left in her body. However, the Light Illusory Dual Swords were so sharp that they could easily cut through her skin and tear her heart out.
At this moment, Xia Qingcheng's face was filled with determination. She closed her eyes and waited for death to descend upon her.
Hum!
The Light Illusory Dual Swords in her hands suddenly trembled. The swords paused slightly, as if they were blocked by some kind of force. They could not advance any further and stopped abruptly in place.
"You wanted to find me so badly. Isn't it not worth it to die just like that?"
A familiar voice rang out in Xia Qingcheng's ears, causing her to tremble. Her countenance was filled with bitterness as she silently mused, "He clearly has someone in his heart, yet I still miss him so much. Even at the moment of my death, I'm still hallucinating about him."
"However, all of this has nothing to do with me anymore …"
Xia Qingcheng gradually collected her thoughts. Just as she thought that she was about to die, a thick and warm palm covered her wrist. Spiritual energy filled the air and completely cleared the gray fog in her spirit sea.
Xia Qingcheng's expression froze. She opened her eyes, only to see a devilishly handsome young man dressed in black standing in front of her. His right hand was tightly gripping her wrist, while a gentle and calm smile was still present on his face.
"Why are you here?!" At this moment, Xia Qingcheng thought that she was hallucinating. However, that warm touch was definitely not a hallucination. It was real.
At the moment when she was about to die, Chu Xingyun had actually appeared and saved her!
"Weren't you looking for me?" Chu Xingyun did not answer. Instead, he teased her. He looked at the Light Illusory Dual Swords and let out a long sigh of relief.
It turned out that Chu Xingyun, under the guidance of the Trace Revealing Jade, had rushed all the way and gradually caught up. Just as he was about to rush to the canyon in front, he sharply sensed a familiar wave of sword aura.
This fluctuation naturally came from the Light Illusion Twin Swords.
Chu Xingyun had been with Xia Qingcheng for many days, and he had taught her many times how to use the Light Illusory Twin Swords. He was very familiar with this fluctuation, and almost instantly locked onto Xia Qingcheng's position.
Fortunately, he had arrived in time and saved Xia Qingcheng just as the two swords were about to pierce through her heart. Otherwise, even if the Daluo Gods descended to the mortal world, they would not be able to bring Xia Qingcheng back to life.
"You're still talking nonsense at a time like this!" Xia Qingcheng scolded with a smile. However, tears began to roll down her cheeks again.
These tears were not salty, but had a hint of sweetness. They were tears of joy, and more importantly, tears of gratitude.
"I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You're actually still alive." When Bai Muchen saw Chu Xingyun, he was both happy and angry.
He was happy that Chu Xingyun's appearance had saved Xia Qingcheng and prevented Xia Qingcheng from dying on the spot.
He was angry that Chu Xingyun actually did not die, and relied on his own strength to reach this place. Moreover, his cultivation was even higher, reaching the Seventh Sky of Earth Spirit. He was gradually catching up to Bai Muchen's footsteps.
Hearing Bai Muchen's words, Chu Xingyun did not pay any attention to him. He did not even look at him. He supported Xia Qingcheng and said softly, "Although I have removed the effects of the Five Profound Powder, there are still some remnants. You should circulate your spiritual energy and completely remove them."
"As for this scum, leave it to me!"
The last sentence was filled with coldness, and Xia Qingcheng shuddered.
She wanted to stop him, but when she saw the determination in Chu Xingyun's eyes, she swallowed the words she was about to say. Like a little girl, she nodded and said, "You must be careful."
"Okay." Chu Xingyun was still smiling. The moment he turned around, his expression changed. There was no longer a smile on his face, and his expression became very cold. It was as if a cold wind had swept through the entire void.
"You were just lucky to have a fortuitous encounter that raised your cultivation by two levels. How dare you say such arrogant words? Do you really think that you can defeat me?" Seeing the coldness in Chu Xingyun's eyes, Bai Muchen sneered in disdain.
At the Ancient Sword Conference, Bai Muchen lost to Chu Xingyun. However, in his heart, he did not admit his defeat. He always felt that he was defeated because he could not circulate his spiritual energy.
At this moment, the two of them were facing each other. Without the restriction from that day, Bai Muchen did not even put Chu Xingyun in his eyes. A green light bloomed, and he held the Dark Jade Sword tightly in his hand. His killing intent surged out.
"Die!"
Bai Muchen made the first move. The Dark Jade Sword pierced towards Chu Xingyun. The sword light broke through the gaps, and sword flowers bloomed. They were dazzling and cold, shining with the light of death.
The moment he made his move, Bai Muchen exploded with all his strength.
Looking at the crazed Bai Muchen, Chu Xingyun did not say a word. He only raised the Black Hole Epee slowly. His body stretched forward, and a terrifying force shattered the sword flowers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The vigorous force completely exploded, annihilating all the sword flowers. Bai Muchen's expression froze. He raised the Dark Jade Sword in his hand. Just as he was about to attack again, he realized that the Black Hole Epee was already there. A terrifying force pressed down, causing the Dark Jade Sword to tremble.
Pa!
The Dark Jade Sword Wu Ling shattered, turning into a halo that filled the sky and dissipated before Bai Muchen's eyes. At the same time, Bai Muchen's gaze froze. He could not believe what he had just seen.
Chu Xingyun, who had a low cultivation base, used only one sword to break his sword move and even shattered the Dark Jade Sword Wu Ling.
One sword to break ten thousand moves!
"Teng Yuan!" Bai Muchen felt his arm go numb. He did not dare to face the Black Hole Epee head-on. His arm shook, and a jade pendant suddenly flew out in front of him. The jade pendant emitted layers of light, forming a shield in front of Bai Muchen.
Kacha!
Under the Black Hole Epee's pressure, the shield immediately shattered. However, the shield quickly reformed, protecting Bai Muchen's vital points.
"A mere one-pattern King Weapon. Don't even think about saving your dog life!" Chu Xingyun's expression was cold. The Ten Thousand Elephant Gauntlet on his arm emitted a silver-white light. The light filled the sky, and it turned into the shadow of ten thousand elephants. It was as if it had descended from the sky, wanting to crush everything.
"Die!"
Chu Xingyun spat out a cold word. The force was even more vigorous, like a heavy mountain, and more like ten thousand elephants galloping. It smashed onto the shield, and just the rebounding force made Bai Muchen spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Luo Yun, if you kill me, you won't have a good ending." Bai Muchen kept spitting out blood. He was shocked. He did not expect Chu Xingyun to be so strong. Even his Teng Yuan Heart Protection Jade was useless against him. He was about to be suppressed.
Chu Xingyun did not take Bai Muchen's words to heart. The Spiritual Sword floated above his head. The moment it merged with the Black Hole Epee, a pitch-black storm swept out with him as the center. It pressed down on Bai Muchen, causing him to reveal a look of despair.
Bang!
The shield in front of Bai Muchen was completely shattered, and there were no signs of it reforming. The pitch-black storm descended on his body, causing his internal organs to tremble, as if they were about to be crushed.
