Chapter 687 The Last Sword Qi Remains

Training ground.

Countless flying swords were dancing in the sky like a north wind and snowstorm, and suddenly, as if being pulled by an invisible baton, they poured down from the air towards Yan Yu.

Yan Yu stood calmly in front of the Infinite Sword System and snapped his fingers handsomely towards the vast number of sharp sword lights.

The Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword Formation rises!

A line of sword energy suddenly appeared and pierced through the flying sword in front.

It only moved slightly, easily slicing through the sword's blade, which was harder than steel. The moment the flying sword broke in two, the line of sword energy suddenly vanished.

Then came more lines of sword energy, flashing, slicing, and disappearing! For a moment, it was impossible to see how many sword energies appeared. All one could see were countless lines constantly sweeping and flickering in the air. At the same time, the wreckage of the destroyed flying swords fell densely, and the colorful sword lights shattered like a meteor shower.

It was not until the last flying sword fell to the ground that the staff on the scene rushed over and took all the flying sword debris on the ground for identification.

Mei Yingxue picked up one of the broken swords and looked at the gap carefully.

Very beautiful cut surface, so neat that it doesn't look like it could be cut by a sharp tool.

There are ways to forcibly destroy a flying sword. For example, Zhou Hongyu's Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire can split a flying sword in two, but the mechanism is to melt and cut it at an extremely high temperature, so the gap will inevitably show signs of melting.

Similarly, if you use a high-level flying sword to forcibly cut off a low-level flying sword, the gap will also be forcibly twisted and deformed by the huge external force.

However, the cuts through the debris cut by the Liangyi Microdust Sword Formation were incredibly smooth, as if the metal had spontaneously split apart to make way for the sword energy as it sliced through them...

Mei Yingxue collected her thoughts and said:
"Being able to cut through space with its sword energy, it truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost sword of the Shangqing Sect of Mount Shu. Now that it has been fully unleashed, once your rank reaches the Golden Core Realm, even without the True Sun Sword Intent, you can continue to serve as the Sword Master of Lu State."

"There's no need to reach the Golden Core Realm." Yan Yu said calmly, his hands behind his back. "Right now, I can unleash 80% of the power of the sword formation."

But can your true energy support it?
Mei Yingxue didn't expose his boast. In fact, she saw at first glance that the so-called endless sword energy formation was actually formed by Yan Yu repeatedly manipulating four lines of sword energy in a short period of time, and it was not a true sword energy formation.

In other words, every time the sword energy flashed, he controlled it with his consciousness, flashing directly into the target's body and making precise cuts. A true sword energy formation didn't require such complex operations. Simply pulling out hundreds or even thousands of sword energies, locking the target inside, and then slashing them randomly, could easily cut into three-digit figures.

However, it must be admitted that in this era without Jindan Zhenren, no one can indeed activate a true sword energy formation.

Even if it is like in the legend, when the Liang Yi Micro Dust Sword is unleashed, a hundred thousand gods and demons surrender. Only a powerful being in the Nascent Soul Realm can bear the loss of true essence caused by hundreds of thousands of sword energies cutting at the same time.

Therefore, Yan Yu's extremely meticulous and complicated operation is actually the best way to make the sword formation display its full strength in advance...

"How much of the Taiyang Zhenmei sword intent is left?" Mei Yingxue asked again.

"Two percent." Yan Yu replied.

"The last sword energy?"

"Correct."

"Use it sparingly," Mei Yingxue said. "It would be a shame to use it all up. I still have many questions I haven't asked him."

"Since Teacher Mei said so," Yan Yu immediately said seriously, "even if the survival of Lu State is at stake, I will not use it!"

"No, if we really encounter a huge crisis for the survival of Lu State, then you'd better use it..." Mei Yingxue didn't know what a joke was. She was sweating profusely from the weight, so she hurriedly reminded him.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Mei Yingxue said goodbye and left. She still had a lot of work to do and couldn't spend too much time here.

When Yan Yu arrived at the nearby bowling alley, he saw Liu Longtao playing bowling with Jiang Hong, Qin Meng and others.

He had no intention of joining in, but just quietly took a can of Coke from the drink machine and sat in the back, watching leisurely.

"Why are you here?" Li Minghu's voice rang out beside him. "Aren't you going to join them in the fight?"

"No." Yan Yu shook his head, "I'm not interested for now."

Li Minghu sat down beside him, and the fresh, rich scent of shower gel wafted in. The girl must have showered after returning this morning. She was now wearing a delicate brown shirt with a knitted edge. Her hair was tied up at the back of her head, revealing her fair, slender neck.

What is quite strange is that although she lives in the sunny Lingnan province, Li Minghu has the fairest skin among all the women Yan Yu has ever seen.

The second should be Su Yunjin. Before she had her marrow cleansed by a cultivator, she always paid attention to sun protection when going out, but she did not have skin as white as mutton-fat jade as Li Minghu.

As for that golden retriever with Caucasian ancestry, they should be ashamed of themselves. Have they really taken care of their skin whitening routine? They've wasted their racial talents!
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Minghu said with a smile.

She was a little shy, but fortunately she had enough self-control to ensure that her expression did not show anything unusual.

"I feel like your health has improved recently." Yan Yu said, "The color in your face has returned a lot."

"Yes." Li Minghu glanced at him, "Thanks to someone's help."

The charm of this glance was so overwhelming that Yan Yu's heartstrings were instantly touched.

No, not here! How can the charm of a mere Valkyrie allow me to stand up so easily?

"Oh, there's no need to be so formal." Yan Yu adjusted his sitting position and then waved his hand casually. "If you can fully recover soon, all the hard work I've put in will not be in vain."

Hearing him say this, Li Minghu felt a little uncomfortable and quickly adjusted his facial expression.

She didn't want to deny Yan Yu's help to her, but after taking the medicine, in order to solve the side effects of the pill, he injected true energy into her whole body and touched her all over. It really couldn't be considered as "putting in effort".

At this rate, if things develop to the point where I have to sacrifice my blood and essence, will I have to kneel down and thank you for your mercy?

Li Minghu quickly put his wild thoughts behind him. Regardless, it was undeniable that he was helping him, and he really did like him. So, a slightly exaggerated description shouldn't be taken too seriously, or it would be a bit boring.

"What if I can't fully recover?" She decided to take the initiative. "Will you always take care of me like this?"

"What do you think?" Yan Yu said with a smile, "Don't forget, we still have an agreement."

"Is that so? Then I don't want to recover. What should I do?" Li Minghu leaned over and asked in a low and intimate voice.

"It's not appropriate." Yan Yu said with a smile, "You still have people around you who care about your health so much."

"I don't care." Li Minghu also smiled.

The two were just testing each other when a sudden cry of "Sister" completely interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between them. Li Zhaojiang rushed over quickly, separating Li Minghu and Yan Yu, and asked with a forced smile:

"Lao Yan, what are you doing here?"

"You're so young, but you don't have good judgment." Yan Yu looked at Li Minghu and pushed Li Zhaojiang aside. "I'm chatting with your sister."

"What are you talking about? Take me with you." Li Zhaojiang knew that if he lost his temper, he would definitely be scolded and kicked out by his sister, so he absolutely couldn't give her any chance to make a fuss. "It just so happens that I have a swordsmanship question I'd like to ask you, Lao Yan."

"You should find someone else." Yan Yu said, "I don't fence with men, and you're not even a sword immortal."

"But I have a heart for swordsmanship," Li Zhaojiang said shamelessly. "As long as there's a sword in one's heart, anyone can become a sword immortal! Old Yan, if you don't teach me, I'll ask my elder sister to teach me."

Li Minghu frowned in embarrassment. Oh, you're as immature as a child. Can't you see that my sister is trying to win over men?

"Then ask your sister to teach you." Yan Yu said as expected.

"Let's go, sister." Li Zhaojiang took the opportunity to drag Li Minghu away, "I have many, many sword questions to ask!"

"Didn't they say there was only one?" Li Minghu asked helplessly.

"I suddenly remembered a lot of things!"

As he watched the Li siblings leave, the fragrance around him dissipated, and Yan Yu suddenly felt that the Coke in his hand was no longer sweet.

Forget it, get another can of juice.

The beverage machine at the base is self-service. Yan Yu went to get another can of juice. Just as he sat back in his seat, he saw a figure next to him.

Tang Xiaolian.

"Captain Yan, I heard that you took a leave last night?" she asked curiously.

"How do you know?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

"Hey, I came to your room last night to play with you, but I found no one there." Tang Xiaolian said with a smile, "Then I asked and found out that you were out."

"I went out to do some private work." Yan Yu said.

Private work refers to exploring secret realms without permission. In the earliest times, all secret realms were nominally owned by the state, but as the number of private cultivators grew, the number of secret realms also increased exponentially, and control in this area soon became a mere formality.

Now, there's only one iron rule: any secrets discovered by the state must be turned over to the state. As for discovering and exploring secrets privately... if you don't disclose it publicly, the state won't know either, so it's considered private work.

"Oh!" Tang Xiaolian sighed in admiration, the kind of sound that men generally like and that girls around them can't help but hum because of admiration. "Did you get anything good?"

"Of course."

"Is there anything I can use?"

"Nonsense, definitely not. And the private work I do must be related to the Sword Immortal, it can't possibly have anything to do with you."

"Don't be so polite, I will definitely exchange it for something." Tang Xiaolian said with a smile, "Do you think I will take it for free?"

"Oh?" Yan Yu immediately put on an aggressive look, staring at Tang Xiaolian domineeringly, "What did you exchange with me for the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu last time? Can you remind me?"

"Uh." Tang Xiaolian was indeed stuck, and after a while she said, "I owe you this, but I will definitely pay it back in the future. I won't forget."

Yan Yu was a little surprised. He thought the girl would act cute and deny it, but he didn't expect her to stick to her principles.

"Forget it." He waved his hand in boredom. "I was originally going to get the Liang Yi Micro Dust Sword. I found the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu, but I can't use it. So I gave it to you. Just consider it as a reward for leading me on the way."

"That won't do. Let's put it this way." Tang Xiaolian said seriously, "Just by being a tour guide, you can get a spiritual insect of the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu. It's unacceptable no matter where you put it."

"Then how do you want to return it to me?" Yan Yu bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly. "Think carefully, a treasure of the same rank as the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu, even if the Fire Phoenix Team can obtain it, is not something you can decide on your own. Unless I ask for it myself, but then it has nothing to do with you."

"I can also do private work." Tang Xiaolian said firmly, "I will explore the secret realm alone and find a treasure that can match the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu."

"Young people are too naive!" Yan Yu was about to explain to her how difficult it was to find the secret realm when she heard Tang Xiaolian say:
"If you really can't find it, just pay it back with something else! At worst, small amounts add up to a lot. Even if you accumulate one dollar ten million times, that's ten million, right?"

This was indeed the truth, but what surprised Yan Yu was her determination. You know, if you can't find something to repay, it will essentially become a debt default. After all, Yan Yu can't set a repayment period and interest for her.

Since she said that, it means she is determined to pay back the debt... That's fine, I won't suffer any loss anyway.

"By the way." Tang Xiaolian continued to ask, "Captain Yan, are you free tonight?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Captain Zhou and I are planning to watch a movie." Tang Xiaolian pretended to be frightened, "But it's said to be very scary!"

"What's so scary?" Yan Yu was puzzled. "You are all cultivators with extraordinary powers, how could you be afraid of ghosts?"

"Of course, we're watching from the perspective of a weak, mortal girl!" Tang Xiaolian said quickly. "Anyway, just reading the synopsis makes me feel horrified. Captain Yan, can you watch it with us?"

Well, there really isn't anything to do at night, and if I'm with Hongyu Xiaolian, I can definitely avoid a lot of night attacks on myself...

"Okay." Yan Yu said, "Then you guys owe me a favor."

"Hey! Isn't it a benefit to accompany two beautiful girls to the movies? It can at least be considered a favor!"

"Nonsense, there are beautiful girls everywhere, can you just find the Sword Master of Lu Country?"

At the bowling ground ahead, Qin Meng bowled another grand slam. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Tang Xiaolian arguing with Yan Yu, and quickly called over Meng Qingxi, who was standing beside him.
"Look, Xiao Lian is harassing Team Yan again."

"Alas, women." Meng Qingxi sighed, "They just can't change their admiration for strength!"

"Be careful not to let Captain Zhou hear what you said." Qin Meng sneered, "Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."

"It doesn't matter if Captain Zhou hears it." Meng Qingxi said calmly, "The worst that can happen is I'll just kowtow and beg for mercy."
