Chapter 176 Accident
Luo Xingjian's face was pale. He was a great swordsman, but now he had an arm broken, but he still kept walking.
He remembered that there should be a secular city a few hundred miles ahead, called Anfeng County.
There is a contact point of Luofu Sword Cave in the city, and the secular atmosphere can provide him with some temporary shelter.
However, he was covered in blood and was in a weak state at the moment. He also had to be careful to hide his breath at all times, and his speed was not much faster than that of the mortal caravan.
. . . . . .
Above the East China Sea, the sword master, wearing a white robe, split into nine identical clones.
But to her surprise, Ye Xun seemed to always be able to find her real body from the afterimages of her clones.
It seemed that no matter how I hid or where I hid, I would meet his determined eyes the first time and I would not be able to escape.
Yu Keqing secretly sneered in surprise and restrained her magical powers.
"how did you find me?"
Seeing the sword master stop, Ye Xun also stopped attacking. After hesitating for a moment, he explained in a low voice.
"Because there is a fragrance on the sword head."
There was no way. He couldn't say that he had the fragments of the heavenly book and could sense Yu Keqing's location at any time.
Besides, he was not lying. The scent of camellia on the sword head was indeed becoming stronger and stronger, as if it was about to bloom.
On several occasions, he even sensed the existence of the sword head earlier than the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Book.
"lie."
Yu Keqing frowned and gave a light rebuke. A blush appeared on her cold face without any expression, but was quickly suppressed.
How come he suddenly learned to be so smooth-talking?
Yu Keqing lived for hundreds of years, but no one ever mentioned this to her.
Before she became the Sword Master, she had used this magical power of clone to defeat many opponents, but no one had ever detected her by the so-called fragrance.
"I have never lied. Ever since I left the living world, the sword head has always had the scent of camellia on his body, and it has become stronger and stronger these days..."
"Okay... I understand."
Lord Sword Master suddenly raised his hand to stop him from continuing, but his eyes unconsciously moved away and his voice became a little lower.
Her method of changing the subject was a bit hasty, but Ye Xun wisely chose not to ask any further questions.
"There is no need to compete with others elsewhere."
Yu Keqing made her final conclusion.
Although it was much more difficult than the ordinary Return to Void, and even nearly broke her body's protective Qi several times, it was not to the point of forcing her to use her full strength.
In terms of power alone, Ye Xun is even not inferior to some half-step fusion masters. His overall strength is also among the best among the many Return to the Void Great Perfection masters that Yu Keqing has seen in her hundred years of experience.
However, when he broke through, he attracted the soul-stirring Nine-fold Heavenly Thunder, which inevitably made Yu Keqing feel more expectant.
Now it seems that if Ye Xun's full strength is only this level, she doesn't even need to release the sword domain to resist.
However, if she was forced to use the sword domain by a Return to Void, it would be a complete disgrace.
"Perhaps you should improve your swordsmanship. There were several times when you almost hit me, but your swordsmanship was not good enough, so you lost the chance."
Yu Keqing's red eyes glanced at Ye Xun lightly, hitting the nail on the head.
In fact, Ye Xun had not specially studied swordsmanship. His swordsmanship was just an ordinary swordsmanship that all disciples of Taiqing Sect could learn at that time, and it couldn't even be ranked.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sword Master. However, I would like to have another competition with you."
He was aware of his shortcomings, but still wanted to see where his limits were.
"no need."
Yu Keqing glanced at him indifferently, then lowered her eyes calmly.
Perhaps under normal circumstances, it is difficult for her to see through Ye Xun's fate, but at least in the way of kendo, Ye Xun is like a child who doesn't even wear open-crotch pants to her, and she can see through him at a glance.
There is no need to waste time. If you have the free time, you might as well go to Anfeng County earlier to avoid missing the opportunity to get the candied haws.
A barely noticeable blush passed across her cheeks.
"Didn't the Sword Master say that if you win, I will accompany you to Anfeng County?"
Ye Xun suddenly changed his tone to a serious one.
"Whether I win or lose, I will keep my promise to accompany the Sword Master. I just hope that the Sword Master can also abide by our agreement... I haven't lost this competition yet."
Didn’t lose…?
Does he still want to win?
Yu Keqing was so angry that she felt helpless.
I have given him so much face, but I didn't expect Ye Xun still not to appreciate it.
Yes, after all, it is not easy to break through to a high level, so it is normal to feel a little complacent.
It was rare for Yu Keqing to sense a bit of the sharpness of a young man in Ye Xun, rather than the precocious calmness that seemed as if everything was as expected.
"If your sword can touch mine within a quarter of an hour, you win."
For some reason, Yu Keqing just wanted to see his expression after he realized the gap, to let him see how powerful she was.
After saying that, she stood at the starting point, her snow-white hair bound by a green hairband fluttering in the wind, as calm and unhurried as a banished immortal from this world.
"I want to see the gap between myself and Sword Master. I hope Sword Master will give me some advice."
Ye Xun's face was full of seriousness.
But Yu Keqing did not comment and did not really take Ye Xun's words to heart.
If she exerted her full strength, Ye Xun might be in danger of losing his life, not to mention that in a one-on-one fight, there were few people in the world who could force her to release the sword domain on her own initiative.
He is far from reaching his upper limit, so how can he know whether he is holding back?
The so-called exchange of ideas was just to entertain him.
Every powerful combined being has his own unique "Tao".
In the past, when he was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, Ye Xun was able to display strength equivalent to that of Return to Void. Now that he has truly broken through to Return to Void and his vision has broadened, he suddenly feels that he is further away from the peak of the human world, the Fusion Realm.
What should I do if I meet a powerful opponent like Liang Dao Ren again?
Simply running away is not a solution.
The fragments of the Heavenly Book can help him improve his realm and nourish his body, but they are of no help in realizing the "Tao". He can only take a step closer by relying on personal comprehension.
The best reference object is Yu Keqing in front of him, but it is obviously difficult to force Lord Sword Master to use his full strength just by just fighting a little bit.
He concentrated his Qi into his Dantian, and air swirled around his body, drawing out the Qi that had been in the Heavenly Fragments for a long time.
The power was increasing exponentially at a rapid speed, and a white glow began to appear on the sword, which became brighter and brighter.
But Yu Keqing remained calm, because this level of threat was far from threatening her.
Then, the white light on Ye Xun's sword faded.
Yu Keqing frowned.
How come this attack is weaker than the previous one?
Deliberately showing weakness, or... more refined.
The long sword in Ye Xun's hand suddenly let out a long groan as if it could not bear the heavy weight, and he slashed out with the sword.
Yu Keqing's red eyes suddenly turned serious. She raised her wrist slightly and used the ice sword in her hand to block.
In the blink of an eye, the ice sword began to break into pieces.
The crisp sound of shattering made Lord Swordsman feel a little panic for the first time in a long time.
But she couldn't retreat even a single step. The protective Qi of her fusion period had been strengthened to an outrageous degree by her, faintly condensing into a solid entity visible to the naked eye.
Ye Xun's sword slashed on it, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.
The sword blade was less than half an inch away from her forehead, but she still did not allow herself to dodge.
But Ye Xun's sword power was still improving, Yu Keqing's originally indifferent expression gradually turned serious, and the barrier in front of him also began to crack faintly.
She finally felt a little panicked, but she didn't show it.
Chapter 177: Untouchable
The protective true qi of the fusion period actually showed a tendency to be unable to resist Ye Xun.
Finally, the snowy hair started flying.
The temperature around her suddenly dropped, her red eyes were cold and strong, the sea surface beneath her feet froze into ice, and the north wind was howling, chilling and murderous.
"Ice Abyss Sword Realm"
This is the "Tao" that Yu Keqing realized after breaking through the fusion. At the beginning, the "Meteoric Immortal" formation that Liang Daoren and Luo Yuefeng had painstakingly arranged, in addition to the functions of the seal itself to suppress and lock, the more important purpose was to completely seal the "Ice Abyss Sword Realm" of the sword master with the power of the four people combined.
Although the sword domains of the four powerful warriors could not be used, it was worth it.
Because Liang Daoren knew that once Yu Keqing's "Ice Abyss Sword Realm" was released, they would no longer be able to fight back. Even under the cold and fierce way that she had comprehended for hundreds of years, it would be difficult for them to move and escape.
The "Ice Abyss Sword Realm" only appeared for less than half a breath, but Ye Xun could hear the bones and meridians all over his body wailing under the heavy burden.
But the sword did not stop.
This was the moment he had been waiting for... This sword would reveal how far he was from achieving fusion.
"Click"
The protective true energy cracked inch by inch and shattered with a sound.
What finally stopped in front of the sword head was a broken sword that had frozen into frost and posed no threat at all.
Yu Keqing did not retreat an inch, even her eyes were fixed on the sword, but there was no anger of being offended in her red eyes.
"The Sword Master won."
Ye Xun was completely unable to make any move. He exhaled a puff of white mist, his lips cracked from the cold, he gave a bitter smile, and his feet were unstable as he flew the sword.
But the sword master did not respond and just stared at him.
After all, it was just a long sword made of fine iron, not even a spiritual treasure.
What if Ye was looking for "Muxue"?
If you are not careful, he might kill one of them.
Her eyes were cold and her emotions could not be seen, as if she was experiencing an attack of evil spirits from the past, but there was no red light. She simply took a step towards Ye Xun, caught him before he was about to fall from mid-air, and held him tightly in her arms.
The sword master said nothing and looked unhappy.
Ye Xun was so cold that he couldn't speak, and the only parts of his body that could move were his eyeballs.
So he was held tightly in Yu Keqing's arms, watching her hurriedly lighting the fire and boiling water, like a busy hen that was unwilling to put down her chicks.
As expected of a powerful person in the combined form, the low temperature in the "Ice Abyss Sword Realm" has already surpassed the limits of the world and has become a set of rules that belongs only to Yu Keqing.
Although the sword master's body temperature was just a drop in the bucket in comparison, it could at least help him feel better.
"Sword head..."
"Don't talk yet."
She stopped Ye Xun from speaking, her tone slightly hurried.
It seems that I have indeed encountered bad luck.
Ye Xun smiled bitterly, but now he couldn't even run away. He could only be held in Yu Keqing's arms, listening to her steady heartbeat and smelling the scent of the camellia.
Then, after he was warmed up a little by her body temperature, Yu Keqing stripped him naked and threw him into the pool of hot water.
Fortunately, the "Ice Abyss Sword Realm" was only used for a moment, otherwise she would be more anxious than just now.
Soon, his body temperature began to recover.
The sword head simply controlled the water temperature little by little, making it rise slowly to avoid causing him secondary injury.
