Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"Let's stay here tonight... The effect of the medicine should be weakened by tomorrow. Then I'll try to activate the Taixu Sword Qi, and then we can go out together."

"Of course, if I can't..."

"Then there's no need to wait until tomorrow."

Directly treat Ling Yi [Qi (five ^) ix=iv?n Dad interrupted Li Sushang's words, Kainuo stood up, and then a clanging sound was heard in the black cell.

"Eh hey hey hey? You got the shackles off."

Li Suchang was extremely surprised to see Kainuo standing there rubbing his wrist.

"So you can open it, then you... Oh, yes, you thought the Jinsha Gang was the butler at first."

"...Yes, I kept talking to you afterwards. Otherwise, I would have gone to eat a long time ago. I was almost starving all day."

Kainuo sighed, feeling rather helpless. He then stepped forward, lightly tapped the shackles on Li Sushang's hands, and activated the wind blade, instantly shattering them into pieces.

"Okay, wait here for a moment. I'll go out and find you an antidote. After you take the antidote, quickly duel with that eagle, and then we'll leave."

"Oh no, why would we challenge him to a duel so late at night? He might still be asleep."

Li Suchang stepped forward, a bit embarrassed. Then, puffing out her chest, she confidently said, "And you don't have to find me an antidote. Without the shackles, I can beat him even without using my Qi! And it's unclear whether the Jinsha Gang has an antidote."

Can we win without using Honkai Energy?

Kainuo raised an eyebrow. He had previously analyzed the eagle using the power of reason, and it was probably above C-rank but below B-rank Valkyrie.

This Li Suchang is quite confident?

Thinking of this, Kainuo analyzed Li Suchang in front of him again.

"what?"

His physical fitness was very strong... although it couldn't match Kaslana's extraordinary strength, it was definitely not something that could be cultivated through ordinary training.

Especially when it comes to keeping your figure in shape.

Moreover, the other person looks to be about the same age as him. If he continues to exercise, will his physical fitness be better?

But speaking of body shape... could this Taixu Sword Qi actually promote growth in certain areas? Should I try it on Theresa and my aunt?

"what happened?"

Seeing Kainuo looking at her in surprise, Li Suchang felt a little puzzled.

"Nothing, I just feel like you're quite naive. Let me think about it, you weren't even prepared to kill him, were you? Honestly, anyone who chooses to become a gangster deserves death."

Kaino shrugged.

"And you don't really think that Eagle will challenge you one-on-one, do you? No way, no way, no way? Fighting him at night when there are fewer people around is the best option. Who would challenge you during the day? Just go at him shoulder to shoulder."

"You, you, you...ah, okay, that's a good idea indeed. I'll go straight to him then."

Although she was almost speechless due to Kainuo's sarcasm, Li Suchang finally agreed to the other party's plan.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some food. Li Suchang, go find that eagle yourself."

"I'll probably come find you after I finish eating. Be careful, or you'll have already lost by the time I get there."

After saying that, Kainuo swung out a wind blade to break the door of the black prison, picked up the night light he had made for lighting, and directly stunned the two guards at the door, then Kainuo left.

He was indeed hungry and came here to eat. He did not lie to Li Suchang.

Now that you finally have a legitimate reason to get out, why are you still staying here if you don’t leave quickly?

"Hey Rakshasa, wait for me...why did you leave on your own?"

Li Sushang failed to catch up with Kainuo, so she could only sigh and then walked out of the black prison step by step.

…Actually, she was hungry too.

She was actually locked up for the entire day.

Chapter 13: Sumian and Kenshin

"Suck it."

Covered with soundproof cloth and optical invisible cloth, Kainuo sat on the roof and slurped the last mouthful of noodles in his bowl. Then he glanced at Li Suchang and Eagle, the leader of the Jinsha Gang, who were still confronting each other in the yard, and silently put down the bowl in his hand.

In the courtyard, Li Sushang and a middle-aged man with a terrifying face stood in silent confrontation from a distance. At Li Sushang's side, a golden sword sank into the ground, leaving only the hilt exposed.

That should be the sword that Li Suchang had mentioned before.

Kaino could sense that Honkai energy was flowing in the man's body in a special way, so he could probably tell that both of them were ready to attack and were just waiting for an opportunity.

But when he just started eating this bowl of noodles, the two of them were confronting each other, and now that he has finished eating, they are still confronting each other.

Although it might have been because he ate his noodles too quickly, it was still too slow. If a duel were to happen, both sides would have rushed into each other immediately.

But perhaps this was also one of the reasons why Shenzhou was defeated by Tianming?

Other than that…

Is Li Suchang too straightforward?

Now that you've got your weapons back, just go ahead and chop him down. Why are you trying to talk about a fair fight? You've been drugged, and you're still talking about fairness?

Kainuo sighed helplessly, but he had no intention of interrupting the fight between the two, nor did he have any intention of secretly reminding Li Suchang.

There are three reasons.

First, Kainuo respected Li Suchang's personal wishes. Since she wanted a one-on-one fight, he let her have it.

Secondly, Kainuo planned to observe Li Suchang's fighting style carefully. This way, even if he still didn't agree to learn Taixu Sword Qi, he could still learn some skills from him.

Thirdly… although this wasn't Kaslana's idea, it was better to offer timely help than to simply add icing on the cake. Kainuo wasn't sure if Li Sushang or her master were willing to teach him the Taixu Sword Qi, nor was he sure if they would reveal the Red Kite Immortal's whereabouts.

But if Li Suchang is really on the verge of death and unable to be saved, if I save her then she will owe me a big favor.

Fourth, if there is any conflict between the above three clauses, the fifth clause shall prevail.

Fifth, only three of the five are reasons, so there is nothing wrong with having three reasons.

Thinking of this, Kainuo planned to take out another bowl of noodles from the imaginary space, but his action paused slightly.

Li Sushang moved.

Li Suchang got into position and stared at the eagle standing motionless opposite her, trying hard to find a flaw in the other party.

In a one-on-one battle in Shenzhou, if the two sides are not absolutely confident in their own strength, they will inevitably stalemate for a while, and only take action after the other side can no longer hold on and reveals a flaw.

Logically speaking, Li Sushang is a woman, and she is unable to circulate the Honkai energy due to taking the Jieqi Powder, so she should be the first to give up.

But Li Suchang doesn't think so.

The Taixu sword energy cultivated by Li Sushang has five elements: heart, spirit, mind, intention, form and soul.

The heart essence is divided into four levels: still water, dust-free, bright mirror, and vast space.

This inner essence was precisely what Kaynor coveted most: a technique that could rapidly absorb and utilize Honkai energy from the outside world. Li Sushang had only reached the Dustless Realm, so she couldn't completely ignore the effects of the Qi-Severing Powder and utilize Honkai energy.

However, the role of the mind is not limited to this.

Li Sushang, who had reached the state of no dust, could focus his attention completely on the battle itself during battle, without being distracted by anything else.

Therefore, Li Suchang firmly believed that if the other party competed with her in endurance, he would definitely lose!

Finally, the Eagle's steering wheel trembled slightly, imperceptibly.

There is a flaw!

Li Sushang started with the Taixu Qijian form's opening move, the "Wanyue" (Crescent Moon), and quickly approached the eagle. Then, using her hands as swords, she followed up with the Li family sword technique's "Rain Swallows Returning Together" and attacked the eagle.

Thanks to Li Suchang's superb physical fitness and the exquisiteness of Qijian Canyue, before the eagle could react, Li Suchang had already arrived in front of the eagle and slapped the eagle's face hard with [Return of the Swifts].

Snapped!

This extremely powerful slap made the eagle lose all its momentum, and it retreated repeatedly with blood flowing from the corner of its mouth.

After the attack was successful, Li Suchang did not pursue the victory. Instead, he adjusted his posture and stabilized himself again.

"That was the first slap."

Li Sushang looked at the rather embarrassed eagle and laughed.

"Be careful, the second one is coming!"

After he finished speaking, Li Suchang did not try to find flaws with the opponent, but used his body skills to attack the opponent first.

The brief fight just now had confirmed to Li Suchang that even though he could not use true Qi, his martial arts skills were indeed superior to his opponent's.

After confirming this, Li Sushang no longer had any worries. She was convinced that she would be the winner of this competition.

...But she didn't know that after being slapped, the other party also believed it.

Seeing Li Suchang attack again, the eagle did not panic at all. He completely let go of the defense of his limbs and focused only on protecting his face, then rushed towards the opponent.

Through previous conversations and exchanges with the opponent, Old Eagle had already confirmed his suspicions. The opponent was incredibly straightforward, having actually dropped her sword for the sake of so-called fairness. Similarly, he believed that since she had said she wanted to strike him in the face, even if other parts of her body were open, she would never attack.

that's the truth.

Li Sushang discovered the eagle's little trick, but still just stared at the opponent's face.

What?... Fortunately, I have martial ethics, otherwise if I hit your vital parts directly at this time, you would lose!

But even so, I still won in the end!

After exchanging two or three blows in the air, Li Suchang retreated slightly. Then, the sword's crescent moon reappeared, and Li Suchang attacked the eagle at a speed far greater than when he retreated.

After a few exchanges with Li Suchang, Old Eagle felt somewhat exhausted. But Old Eagle was not Li Suchang. Although he was inferior to her in both physical strength and skills, he could still circulate his Qi.

With the blessing of true qi, the eagle held on to the face and launched a torrential attack towards Li Sushang. With the blessing of true qi, as long as the eagle hit Li Sushang with one blow, the battle could be quickly ended.

But Li Sushang practically ignored the opponent's attacks. She kept executing the sword-guarding willow technique. Even with the Eagle's frequent attacks, it couldn't harm Li Sushang in the slightest.

Wuchen's swordsmanship allowed Li Suchang to focus on the battle, and she wouldn't make a mistake in defending against any of Eagle's attacks. However, Eagle's internal Qi was indeed limited, and if she continued to consume it, she would surely lose.

What’s going on…why is the other party fighting like this?

Despite her confusion, Li Sushang's hands kept moving. As they clashed, they shifted and moved, slowly approaching the spot where the ancient sword Xuanyuan had been inserted into the ground.

At this moment, the eagle seemed to be exhausted or his Qi was not flowing properly, and his body was unable to support itself, and the defense on his face was suddenly exposed.

Seeing the opponent's obvious mistake, Li Sushang frowned slightly. But he did not slow down. Shunchen attacked instantly with the most accurate and fastest sword-opening move among the Five Elements Sword Forms.

But the eagle allowed the attack to hit it without any intention of defending itself.

Li Suchang hesitated. At the same time, a voice sounded in Li Suchang's mind.

"Let me think about it, you're not even prepared to kill him, are you?"

When Kainuo asked her, Li Sushang did not answer Kainuo's question, but pretended not to hear it and acted as if nothing had happened.

But now, this question was once again placed before Li Sushang, and for a moment, she was only in a panic. But in the end, she did get the answer.

...What the hell, I haven't even killed anyone.

I clearly just wanted to have a martial arts competition and test my sword skills.

Thinking of this, Li Suchang gritted her teeth.

Li Suchang abruptly retracted the instant dust that had already been released. Ignoring the pain of forcibly retracting the attack, Li Suchang changed her footwork and unleashed [Flying Swallow Returning to the Nest], forcing herself to retreat.

Almost at the same time, a sword wind passed by Li Suchang.

Li Sushang's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at the eagle in front of her in disbelief.

The ancient sword Xuanyuan, which was originally inserted into the ground, was now held in the hand with an eagle on its back.

The eagle laughed excitedly, his laugh cruel and ferocious.

Chapter 14: Sword Heart Mirror, Heavenly Fire Holy Judge

Li Suchang felt a sense of fear in her heart.

If he had not withdrawn his attack in time for fear of killing someone, he would have definitely been killed by Eagle's sword.

...But if I had made up my mind to kill and didn't remember the grudge of those two slaps, I would have killed Eagle, whose skills were inferior to mine, here.

But it’s no use thinking so much now, right?

Li Suchang stared blankly at the eagle that missed its first attack and turned to pounce on him again, swinging its sword. He knew that he had no way to escape.

But Wuchen Jianxin was calm and peaceful. At the moment before his death, Li Suchang felt no despair, regret or grief, but a sense of emptiness.

Li Suchang closed her eyes resignedly, her consciousness sinking into the lake of her heart.

Can’t hide…
